Now, those of you who don’t know who I am digital marketing myself specialize in helping artists, like you, guys get their songs hired through platforms like Spotify, Instagram, YouTube and bunch of others. Now what I want to talk to you guys about today is a recent Power Move that the streaming platform SoundCloud has made.
I want to get into how you guys can start to take advantage of this power move, what exactly it is and how I think it will affect you guys as artists in the near future. So with that being said, let’s get right into it. So what exactly is this power move that SoundCloud has made? If you keep up with SoundCloud in any way, shape or form, then you’ve probably heard that they now allowed monetization of the music on their platforms, meaning that you can now make some money because of SoundCloud before the only way to just stuff will get monetize from Them was if you were invited to their SoundCloud premier program or if you knew someone like your distributor, who can help you get your stuff monetize through whatever other means that they may have so like.
I was saying before SoundCloud premier program used to be invite-only, meaning that some flower pretty much had to ask you to come, try it out. That was the only way that you can make money through SoundCloud through them. But now the SoundCloud premier program is open to all creators who use the platform as long as you meet their basic bare minimum requirements. So what exactly does this mean for you guys? It pretty much means that now you have another way to put some money back into your pockets now before.
One of the main arguments that I used to hear against SoundCloud is that you were literally giving your music away for free, and why would you do that? Now I know technically on platforms like Spotify and like title you’re, not charging your fans for your music, but at least those platforms were attempting to pay you guys for your streams. I always thought it was kind of weird that, with SoundCloud the main source of traffic, which is you guys, was not being compensated for the amount of work that they put in unless SoundCloud deemed you worthy to be so.
To be honest with you guys, I think the SoundCloud opening up its premiere program is an attempt for them to keep their core consumer base happy, which is music artists. You guys, I think that SoundCloud has finally realized that they have been driving you all the way to their competitors, to Spotify, to Apple music, to title to Pandora, all of their competing services, and they aren’t you guys back.
I think they want you all to at least seriously consider SoundCloud as a platform that you need to really work and drive traffic to, and they knew that. The best way to do so was to finally start paying you guys for the work that you’ve been putting in and finally the part of the article that I’m sure you guys have been waiting for. How can you join SoundCloud premiere program so that you can start to monetize your music and make some money well, like I was saying earlier in the article, you must first meet their basic criteria, which are pretty much as follows.
First, you have to have at least a SoundCloud Pro or SoundCloud Pro and limited account, meaning that you can’t monetize your music. If you only use their free account, you also can only monetize original music, meaning no remixes, no cover songs. None of that guys. You also can’t have any copyright claims against your account. So if you ever uploaded something that didn’t belong to you and you got a claim against it, this may be something that causes you a little trouble.
I would definitely look more deeply into it if this applies to you and lastly, you must have at least 5,000 strings within the last month from countries that SoundCloud Dean’s eligible I’ll make sure to leave the article about that in the description below, so that you can Dig a little bit more deeply into it. There’S always guys if you feel, like you learned anything today, please like and share this article hit those post notifications as well as I wouldn’t want you guys to miss anything once again.
The input voltage capability, the different protocols that are available with that ESC and the size and dimensions of it. Whether or not it’s an individual ESC like these or if it’s a foreign one like these and then the different processors that can come in a ESC. So, first up for current rating, you need to make sure that the ESC that you pick is going to be able to handle the current that you’re going to pull through it.
It’S not an exact science that, like down to an a specific number, there’s, usually a range that will work, but typically the the higher you go, the kind of more Headroom you have and the more you can feel safe that you’re not going to blow that es Es e up because you’re pulling too much power through it. A common misconception that some beginners think about the current rating on es es is that if, if it’s rated for higher it’s going to make more power, but that’s not how it works, it’s not higher.
The number more power it makes it’s the more that it can handle to flow through it, so just realize that you’re not going to get more power out of going with a higher rated ESC. You it just is possible to push more power through it and without it burning up on you. Next we have input voltage. This is going to be really important because you want to make sure that whatever battery you’re going to use is going to work with the speed controller.
This is going to be listed on every product listing for every speed. Controller they’ll usually be a range it’ll say like 2 to 3 s 4 to 6 s, so just make sure that the ESC that you’re picking is going to work with the battery that you’re going to use or make sure that you’re picking a battery. That’S going to work with the sees that you have, then you have the dimensions or the size and the weight.
This is not as critical, because I mean they’re. Typically, es es are not too far from each other, but in certain situations, maybe you’re trying to be as lightweight as possible. So you want to make sure you have the smallest ESC as possible. These are all ones. I’Ve used on very similar setup so obviously that one’s quite a bit bigger than this one. So by using these, I’m saving some weight and different frames are going to have different widths of the arm.
So it may just bug you if the ESC is wider than the arm. It’S not a huge deal either way, but just something to look at is the dimensions and the weight. The next one is where it starts to get a little technical, a little tricky and I’m not going to go too deep into it and overwhelm the beginners, but this is the different protocols that the ESC is capable of handling. So how do I explain this? Simply? The protocol is essentially the way that the ESC and the flight controller are communicating with each other.
So it’s basically the signal flow, that’s happening between the two and there’s different methods and different speeds at which these can run. So when I say speed, what I mean is the way that the ESC and the flight controller are working. Is it works in a cycle, so it’s kind of looking at? Where is the drone or what’s the status that’s going on? What Corrections need to be made? Do I need to speed up these motors or slow these motors down and then it gives that correction and then it repeats over again.
So when you have a faster protocol when paired up with a fast enough processor on the flight controller, this is what’s going to make a huge difference in the way that the drone flies when it can very quickly make these little micro adjustments and do it without Adding too much signal noise or being harsh on the system, this is what’s going to give you a really smooth flying drone. The two main protocols you’re going to find our one shot and D shot, there’s a little bit more to it.
There it’s actually one shot. 125 and then in the D shot realm, you’ve got D, shot, 150 D, shot 300, 600 and 1,200. Essentially, the different numbers mean it’s a shorter pulse-width and essentially a faster refresh rate. At one point, one shot was like the bee’s knees. This was a big advance in the way that the protocols are communicating with the flight controller. But at this point it’s a bit outdated, pretty much any current ASC you’re going to want to use D shot.
So what de Chatillon call a big advantage to having a digital protocol is there’s more commands that you can send from the flight controller to the speed controller. So the two huge things that I use and a lot of pilots are going to take advantage of. Is one is, you can use your actual ESC to send a signal to the motor to be a beeper? So when you plug in your drone – and you hear those beeps – that’s actually the ESC, sending signals to the motor and the motors what’s actually making those tones and with D shot away you can take advantage of that is the motor can become your loss model beeper.
So when you crash and you’re not sure where you went down, you don’t know where the drone is having D shot, enables you to flick a switch on the radio and the ESC will make that motor make a beeping sound. So it makes it easier to find another big one that comes in really handy is turtle mode. So what turtle mode is? If you crash upside down using D shots communication abilities, you can tell the ESC.
I want you to take two of those motors and reverse the direction, so when you give it an input, they’re going to spin backwards and you can actually flip the drone over aside from it flies better. Those two features alone would be enough that I would definitely recommend you may as well just go for disha the difference in price between older one shot and the cheap, Disha ESC is very negligible. So at this point I would at least get something that has disha aside from that.
The next sort of advancement that came along with ESC s is having a 32-bit processor on them. So the pretty much best of the best you’re going to find right now is a D shot 1200 with a 32-bit processor. Having that 32 processor is just going to open up more features that a ESC is going to be capable of doing so now with the 32-bit, you can pull in telemetry information from your ESC, so you can know exactly how much current that each one’s pulling you Can know the RPM of the motor, you can also add and modify the tones that it’s going to play when it starts up, which is you know, some people have a lot of fun with that.
It’S not a huge deal, and it’s also just going to be more future-proof. More features that come down the pipeline are probably going to be created for the latest tech that we have and then the last main spec that you’ll see is whether or not the ESC you’re looking at is an individual or a four and one, and then in The four and ones you’re going to have different sizes, so this is a 30 by 30. They also make them in twenty by twenty, and I think also sixteen by sixteen so depending on which size of drone you’re intending to build that’s going to play into which size ESC you need.
You would probably want to go with the smallest one available, but you also need to make sure that it can handle the current and the input voltage of what you’re trying to build around now for some considerations when you’re picking an ESC, the first one would be Whether or not you’re going to go for a 401 or individual ESC, they both have their pros and cons. I kind of already went over this when I did the gear overview article, but we’ll do it again here, four and one.
Obviously it’s less parts to bahi. Only need one you don’t need to buy four of them. It’S going to be a little bit more compact, a little bit less weight because there’s a lot less wires. Speaking of the wires there’s a lot less wires to solder to because on an individual ESC, you’ve got four wires coming off the top and you’re going to solder three to the bottom and you’re going to do that four times, whereas with a foreign one there’s just Going to be the three motor wires need to attach for each motor and then the rest of the wiring is just going to be in a wiring harness that usually will just plug right into your flight controller.
So a little bit easier to build over here, but the upside of a individual ESC is, if you have a problem with an ESC, you only need to replace the one. That’S gone bad, whereas with a foreign one. If you have any issues, you’re replacing the whole thing, so in some cases it can be a little bit cheaper to go with a foreign one a lot of times. The price of these is less than if you were to add four of these together, but not always, and not always in the long run, when you’re replacing them.
Another thing to think about is the different sort of ecosystems of es es, so you’ve got BL heli or BL Holley 32. That’S the 32-bit version of BL heli. This is like the widest arrange and probably the most common one you’re going to find out there there’s tons of different es es available in BL heli. Next, you have kiss when you’re looking at kiss es es. It’S not like ble ble, at least the original vo heli was an open-source project, so any company can make an ESC hardware that ran with the BL heli software, whereas kiss is closed source.
So the only kiss hardware you find is kind of all within that same company and family of KISS. So, there’s not a hundred different es es out there that are kiss software compatible, it’s just whatever kiss is making, but the upside of kisses they’ve always been known to be very high quality and perform really well downside, being they’re, also a lot more expensive than a Year, normal BL, heli or BL highway 32 ESC.
Another thing to think about as far as kiss goes is: they also have their own flight controller and their own flight control software. So that’s kind of why I say it’s like an eco system. Typically, if you’re going to go for kiss you’re going to go kiss flight controller and ESC s and you’re going to like stay within that, it’s kind of like going Apple versus Android and then the other one that you’ll find is flight one.
I pretty sure flight. One ASCS are the same as what BL heli runs, but still just thinking about the ecosystem, it’s more of their flight controller that has its own hardware and software and similar to kiss it’s closed source. So you don’t find just random companies making flight one products. It’S the flight, one company, they make their own things and, like I said I do believe there is CSR kind of run, the same hardware as any Bill.
Helia see, and you can also use Bo heli es es with their flight controller. But it’s just something to think about of staying in the ecosystem. I think a lot of people who are going to use their flight controller will probably pair it with their ESC because they know it’s going to work well together, it’s been developed that way from the company. Another thing to think about is wiring and pin outs.
So, especially if you go for a four and one like I said, there’s usually a wire harness that comes off of this. So it’s going to be, like you know, six or seven wires that all go into one harness and some in some cases you can just plug that directly into a flight controller. But the problem is: there’s not a standard, so not every foreign one and every flight controller are going to be pinned out the exact same way.
So it’s usually a smart idea to buy it as a bundle by one companies, four and one ASC. That goes with their flight controller. That way, you know you can just plug it right in if you mix and match you need to look at the diagram of the ESC and the flight controller, and then you just look across and you make sure that they match. If they don’t match, what you need to do is pull the pins out of the harness and rearrange them so that they’re correct for the opposite end and then, with individually SCS.
The only thing to think about really with wiring. Sometimes the ESC is going to come with the wires already on it. Sometimes it’s not. They call it like naked. It won’t come with any wire, which is not a huge deal wires, pretty easy to come across. It’S just good to know whether or not your ESC is or is not going to come with wire. That way, you don’t get all your parts you’re excited to build, and you realize oh there’s no wire on the ESC s and now I have to order wire and wait before I can even build the thing so wiring harnesses and whether or not a does or Doesn’T come with wire, it’s another thing to think about, and, lastly, there’s price there’s definitely a range of different prices and speed controllers and there’s a ton of them out there.
Like a lot of things that I recommend, I would say, shoot for middle of the road. If you’re a beginner you’re not going to need the most expensive and the most advanced and feature-rich ESC to get flying, but you also don’t want to get the cheapest one you can find either you don’t want it to burn up or fail on you. You don’t want to have poor flight performance. The main thing is: get an ESC that has the current capability that you need for your drone, make sure it can handle the voltage that you’re going to put into it and, at the very least, get one that can do.
Disha 600. That’S going to enable you to have a beeper do turtle mode and it should perform very well, so that’s going to do it for es es. I hope this was somewhat informative. I know I didn’t go into too much detail on this, but, to be honest, I’m not an expert on how es C’s worked and for a beginner. I really don’t think it’s important to go into all the details of all the different protocols work and the hardware.
That’S on the ELC there’s a wide variety of es es that will work for you, so once again go for a middle-of-the-road price point, make sure it has D shot and it can handle the current that you need. That’S all this really going to matter for a beginner drone pilot. So with that thanks for reading – and this has been learn to fpv
Yes, millions with an M. It is a huge deal if you’re not using LinkedIn, it is a fabulous tool and after so many requests I wanted to make a article about it. So let’s go ahead and get right into it. Alright, so LinkedIn man.
I cannot say enough good things about LinkedIn. This platform has really transformed and changed over the last decade, from what it used to be to what it is today. I was talking recently with a friend of mine and we talked about how Facebook is like the the hangout kicked back party of social media and LinkedIn. Is the networking group or the networking event they’re all like events right? If you think about it that way and LinkedIn is the networking business networking event that happens online, so many many business owners that have high influence high net-worth or on LinkedIn and if you’re not using it, you’ve been missing out and now is your chance.
But many of you are probably very confused about LinkedIn of how it works and what you should do. So I’m going to cover a few things today to help you guys really understand: LinkedIn the power of it and the potential and what to do and what not to do. Because there are a lot of people that are using LinkedIn and they’re, using it improperly and taking advantage of the system and really burning a lot of bridges with people before they even get the chance.
So I want to make sure that you understand some of the best practices and we’re going to get into that right now. So let’s go ahead and head over at my screen. All right so LinkedIn will just go here to my profile and, if you’re looking at LinkedIn, this is basically how it looks when you log in this is what you’re going to see you’re going to see your posts, you can upload photos articles and you can even Write an article writing an article is a really good way to get exposure.
I don’t do enough of this myself. This is not an area of expertise that I have in terms of writing articles on LinkedIn, but I know that they do have great reach and especially if you have a ton of connections LinkedIn. But that is what I want to start with. First, is your connections and connections are a very important part of it. So if I look at my network here, these are people that have requested to be part of my community.
Okay, I have five thousand nine hundred and eighty-six contacts in LinkedIn total, but I have twenty eight hundred and sixty one can connections. These are actual people that have connected with me on LinkedIn. This is a really big deal. This is almost three thousand people that have chosen to accept my request and accept my connection, requests that I had now have connections to that. I can actually export that database and mark it to these people.
Well. For me, I take the standard principle of wanting to offer value to every single one of my connections and everybody that I’m trying to build relationships with now. Obviously, the way my agency and the way my companies are set up is, I could never service twenty one hundred and twenty eight hundred and sixty one clients. But out of this select few, I want to find at most my hundred dream clients and that’s really even more than I want, but I’m looking for a hundred dream clients that I can have a long-term relationship with that will support my business and I can support Their business and offer value to what they’re doing and in return they can help.
Me grow my business by paying me for my services and paying me fairly and and it’s fair for myself and for them. So I have twenty hundred and sixty-one connections and, as I can see here currently it says I have twenty two messages that I haven’t even read. This is a big deal and then you got your notification similar to Facebook, so you can see here, people that have viewed my profile, people that have followed me.
These are some just different people. These are just examples of what you can pull on there, but I did not actually do all this work myself. I am so busy with Facebook with running clients, advertising campaigns, doing marketing strategies done phone calls all day, long, there’s no way that I could have done all of this by myself. So if you know, for maybe some of my previous articles, I’ve talked about LinkedIn and from the sense of the some of the tools that we have available to us and look at those as a message popping up right there.
And if you look at that this is this is a message that automatically is being sent out to all of my LinkedIn connections. Now I will preface this I didn’t: have it do all of them at once, because I was doing a beta test to see how my messaging was working, but I crafted a message which is this: it says: hey Cleve can I can you help me either pumping Out three high quality marketing articles per week on my youtube blog and I think you’ll love.
Will you take 30 seconds to subscribe to my blog? Here’S, the URL? It’S bubble, blah blah okay, it would mean a lot to me. I’Ll definitely subscribe back. So this is a message I’ve now sent out and I’m going to show you how that all works, so, let’s hop over to lead Butler connect, lead Butler Connect is a tool that my partner and I built I didn’t do all the development or any of the Design but my partner did and what this does is, and you can see here over the last 24 hours over the last 72 hours or after the last week.
Over the last month, I’ve sent out 312 total connection requests, which is not very many, and I’ve actually connected with a hundred of them, so a third of them are actually connected with me. That’S because the messaging and the way that we’ve structured, our stuff is very, very genuine. I’M not trying to just connect with everybody in their mom for no reason just to build up a bunch of connections.
I want to connect with the right kind of people who are actually going to engage with me. So if you look at that, you can see that six people replied to my initial connection message and a total of 21 replied to my other message that went after the connection message. So that’s a total of 27 people out of a hundred. That’S nearly it’s a little bit over 25 % message rate from the initial connections.
I got a 30 % connection right here and I got a 25 % connection right there. Those are really good numbers, that’s where we should be okay. Now everything should be broken into your mind when it comes to LinkedIn is two different categories: category a is the initial connections and building connections with potential people that could be doing business with you that you want to build a relationship with their potential clients and then Side B is actually the nurturing of all the twenty eight hundred and sixty-one people that you saw that I’m connected with.
How do I continue to stay top of mind that I continue to build relationship for them and levered leverage those connections to help me grow. My business well, one of the things that came to my mind over the weekend was I wanted to build a connection campaign or a messenger campaign. I should say with my existing connections, to help me grow my YouTube blog now. I know I have almost 3,000 people on there and my goal is to reach a thousand YouTube subscribers.
So that’s roughly one third and from all the data that I’ve done so far, it should be pretty realistic to think that, if with 3,000 connections, I should be able to get somewhere in the neighborhood of eight to a thousand people which is going to put me At the mark, ryan need to be and give me the momentum. I need to be able to reach the YouTube audience that I’m trying to reach, because my mission again is reaching at-risk youth and helping restore broken families through that.
So I’m going in here I’m creating connection campaigns, meet meeting new people that I’m also doing the nurturing side of things where I’m sending out a youtube promo that you saw now within this YouTube promo I picked you’ll see how many people I picked. Four hundred and five hundred and forty-one people total to send connections or to send messages to then out of those 55 % of them so far have been sent out.
A total of 298 and out of those 36 have actually replied back to me. Now. Some of the people that actually replied back to me said yep. I subscribe to you most of them said I’ll check it out, but I had so far. If you look at my youtube blog we’ll go there right now, you can see as I’m going along here. Pull this up go to YouTube studio. You can find my Andre g and Peter McKinnon or two of the top people that I follow.
You can see here – and this doesn’t look too great, but this has been fluctuating up and down for the last few days, but I’m actually at a hundred and sixty three new subscribers. These aren’t new, but these are total subscribers for this blog now I know. That’S really small, for many of you guys. I have a lot of subscribers, but for me I’ve added 36 in the last 28 days and 23 of those. So I was at 140.
I think when all this started have been happened in the last 48 hours. I’Ve added 23 new subscribers to my YouTube blog and I’m only just partway through that list. So by the time I get to all 3,000 all most of my connections, I should be between you, know 600 and 800 connections or subscribers realistically. So this is a really good way for me to be able to pump out content to my targeted audience now.
Everybody that I’ve been adding are targeted, people that I want to have as connections people who are attorneys people who are contractors. Things like that that are in the same niches and industries that I’m going after so LinkedIn is a really great tool for that, and it allows me to build up a lot of momentum. This person gave me a thumbs up. I’M sure that I’ll at least click the link and check out the blog, so that’s going to be picked up by Google or in YouTube, which is a really great thing.
So that’s something I want to help you with. I want you to leverage now. One of the things that I want to talk to you about that is very important is how to use LinkedIn. Okay, spamming people on LinkedIn. Sending automated messages for the most part can be a bad thing, because I’m looking, I know who my audience is, and I strategically picked them. I’M I’m sending out. Yes, the same message to every single person and you can see here what that message looks like here.
Are my steps hey? First name, can you help me? I’Ve been pumping out three high quality marketing articles. On my youtube blog. I think you will love. Will you take 30 seconds to subscribe to my blog, its HTTP YouTube calm? It would mean a lot to me and I’ll definitely subscribe back. I genuinely mean that okay, I know that if they read these articles, that I’m pumping out on LinkedIn and on marketing and on branding and on web design and all these different things, I talk about that.
They will learn and they will gain and they will get knowledge and they will be able to help grow their business through that. So what I’m offering them is not something I’m selling them anything, I’m not pitching in them anything. I hardly do any pitching when it comes to any of my my messaging on YouTube and you can see her on LinkedIn now you can see here. If I go back to campaigns you can see.
I have the connection connection campaigns and, let’s just use this one. So we were actually promoting this software to an existing database or to a new database of people, and my business partner picked 1500 people out of those 1,500 people, a hundred and forty nine of them connected to me and then out of those we had 19. That responded to the initial connection message that you get when you send the connection and then 41, so we had a total of like almost 60.
I think it’s about 60 people that actually responded off of the 1500. So really good stats really good result, and I can click on this and you can see the messaging that we created in here see. These are the people that I went after you can see. The steps hey first name hope you’re having an incredible twenty. Twenty you’ve got a great background and we share some connections, thought we should connect as well best Adrian I’ve getting a huge connection rate off of this initial connection.
Message. Thank you for enacting with me. First name: it’s always exciting: to grow here on LinkedIn with other professionals. Would you happen to have any referrals that I can send you your business or need any referrals? I can send your business, I’m always looking for ways to add value with my content here and then again. If they don’t respond, I actually love it. If you can help me out with some feedback, I’m currently working with my team on a new SAS software, which is this software, that health professionals find prospects and increase sales.
It’S a slick system that has new killer components like engaging track, engagement, tracking CRM components and a lot more, I’m still in beta right now, so we’re still in beta on this product, but we’ve gotten amazing results in the stats are right here, for you see some 958 connection requests were sent only 16 16 % actually connected. 13 % actually responded to the first message and 28 % responded to that follow-up message.
So the messaging is working. It looks like the connection campaign could be a little bit better. Those numbers could go up. I don’t I don’t claim to be the number one best LinkedIn organic marketing guy. I know a lot of the the data that we’ve acquired has really helped us, create better connections and create more connections and get that connection right up, but we’re still perfecting that process.
In gathering data, but LinkedIn is a really good tool to do that. So you need to understand that the simpler you keep it, the more that your message is genuine, that the higher the connection rate is going to be the more you try to fill it with bluff and fluff and hype, and that kind of stuff the lower. That connection rates going to be – I say this all the time, and I mean it, you need to go out there and serve people stop selling.
It’S so important, the more genuine your connection, requests are and the more you spend time getting to know, people adding value to their lives, solving the problems and truly caring about people. The more success you’re going to have in your business, whether it’s LinkedIn, whether it’s Facebook, that is where true success from comes from it’s not about the platform. Linkedin, is a fantastic tool with high net worth individuals and it’s harder to get people to engage with you.
Because people are taking advantage of it, so the big things I want you to leave with today is you need to go out there and use a software. That’S going to save you time to create your connections and if you leave, if you don’t do a connection note along with it, that’s okay, but you want to make sure you send out connections and don’t do more than a hundred a day. Is you don’t want? Linkedin to flag you, that’s a really important deal.
You send more than a hundred day, you’re going to start getting you’re going to start getting filtered out, and you don’t want to do that. You need to fall under LinkedIn, it’s protocol right and then number two is to go out there and build genuine relationships with people and then also stay top of mind. And if you need help – and you want to get onto the lead Butler connect software, I can help you do that it’s very affordable, there’s a do-it-yourself plan.
I could help you get through that whole process. So that’s what I got for you guys today. I hope this helps you understand, LinkedIn a little bit better in the different aspects of it.

Today we’re going to talk about five projects that we’ve learned so really well for us. So we got a question the other day on Instagram. Go follow us on Instagram, if you haven’t already, but we got a question of somebody asking: what do you make that sells the best like because there’s a ton of different projects? What, as a beginning, woodworker trying to make some money, what should I go towards to make money, and so we were just replied with the five things that we made the most of we thought that would be a pretty good topic for a article, so we’re just Going to roll through the five projects that are just kind of our go-to explain: what’s good and bad about each project, what we’ve learned by building several of them and hopefully that’ll spark an idea for you.
Maybe you can use these as your go-to or it gives you the confidence to get off the ground with your business. Five projects are so versatile and so ubiquitous that, like you, can incorporate. Oh, I know it’s a big word whoa. I heard a B. You use it so yeah ubiquitous means it’s everywhere, so these are five projects that you can make so different and so unique that if a customer just says hey, can you show me something XYZ that you built? You can point to one of these projects and say: well, I can do it just like this, but in a door or in a shelf or in a cabinet, something like that and honestly in your portfolio, people like to see pictures of things that they could see Themselves buying, so if somebody wants a coffee table or they want some bar stools, but all your Instagram or whatever portfolio has in it like super tiny, detailed, keepsake boxes, there can be like.
I don’t know if they’re quite up my alley, let’s just get into it. Talking that’s the transition. Okay, so number one on our list of super common projects is a desk. We have made multiple articles on YouTube of us building desks. That’S just what people want lots. People want need desks whether it’s to fill space in a room or they genuinely just need a work area. We’Ll get a lot of requests to customize desks, whether that’s cable management, wireless charging, certain types of legs that they want, but it comes down to it.
They’Re super simple to make and customize. So if you have a picture of one in your portfolio that somebody thinks it’s cool, they can look at it and say: hey, that’s awesome and then can we do two extra holes for cable management, you’re, like yeah sure no problem super easy, so very versatile. There’S a lot of directions: you can go at this one, you can change the style of a little look of them, the feel of them and when it comes down to it, still just a really usable desk and then a little bit more on the sales side Of building desks and why we absolutely love the building of it.
It’S because it is great practice for you as a salesperson to up charge to add little extras to add accessories and customize it for them and and really as you customize. It takes more time and more materials, more skill. It’S going to naturally cost more, whether it’s labor or whether it’s your hourly rate, it’s the materials you buy all in all, it will cost more. So, for example, somebody comes to you and they say hey.
I need a desk, that’s great! That could be 8 million different desks. You can sit down and say hey. What are you going to use the desk for? Are you a computer gamer? Are you a college student? Do you want it for decoration from there? If they say you know, yeah, I’m a computer gamer, I like gaming, you say well from there. We can do multiple shelves for you. You can make different cubbies to hold tower for your desktop computer.
Cable management is a big one that people who do a lot of online gaming like to do. You can include wireless charging, so they can charge all of their little. I don’t know pieces accessories at the same time, while they’re playing I just want to put in here for just second, you remember, Sam the guy who built the liquor cabinet for a good friend of ours. We just built him a desk and we just did all the we just did all of those things to his little desk.
We have a matched furniture desk, just a pine top chamfered edges, hairpin legs built in that exact same desk. We normally sell it for 200 bucks whenever we batch out five or more, and we turned his almost the same exact style. We turned his into like an 800 dollar desk because we used an oak top he’s two by six oak. For the top note big thick and then I made a long tray that did all of his cable management.
We had a power strip in there and then I routed out a big hole in the bottom, so he could put a wireless phone charger through the top of the wood and with all those up charges. We changed it from a 200 dollar desk that we would make out a pine into an 800 dollar desk and it really only cost me and it cost me an extra like two or three hours worth of labor to get those other things finished. Okay, number: two piece of furniture that we do constantly is coffee tables.
Everybody loves coffee tables. Most of what we see is somebody is trying to achieve a certain style or they’re trying to tie together a certain look in their living room, and the coffee table is a really easy way to do that. So that’s what we see most of the time or somebody will come to us and say hey. I need to match another piece that I have in my living room. So I need the coffee table will look like that and honestly, that’s where we get a lot of repeat customers, alright.
So, on the sales things, coffee tables are really good because it teaches you and it trains you how to followup with your customers and get repeat sales, because if you think about it, where do people put coffee tables in their living rooms? And then, if you look at a living room, think of your living room, it’s probably where you have the most furniture in one small area. That reason being because that’s the room, everybody sees, you have guests and company come over and you sit on the couch in your living room around your coffee table.
You serve drinks. Maybe you have some end tables a shelf in the corner. A TV stand. There’S a ton of stuff in your living room. So if there’s any area of your house, where you want a really nice looking piece that you can, you know talk to people about for people to compliment and point out the cool design features. It’S your living room. So, starting with a coffee table, you build somebody, a coffee table, they really like it.
You follow up with them in a couple of months and you say: hey how do you like that coffee table? They say: hey yeah, I like it, it looks really cool. You can even say something like hey when I was in your living room. I noticed in that corner on the left side of your wall. There’S a little space open and I think it’d be super cool. If we put a bookshelf in there, we could make it match your coffee table by using the same kind of wood.
Oh that’s an awesome idea. I never thought about that. That’D be super cool to have a bookshelf in my living room that matched the coffee table and from there you can start another sale with a repeat customer. So you put a really nice piece of furniture in somebody’s living room and what do people automatically start doing? They start comparing everything they have to that one piece of furniture and when you’re, comparing MDF and particleboard furniture to that beautiful oak coffee table that you just built them they’re going to think wow.
I need to replace some of the stuff I have now with nicer stuff, or I simply want to replace some of my old stuff with newer, nicer stuff. So that’s another awesome way that coffee tables are going to bring you multiple sales. So coffee tables are really good catalysts to train you to find repeat customers and talk to people who have already bought from you all right. Next, up on the list, our cutting boards you’ve seen us make a bunch of cutting boards on this blog and that’s just because they sell really well it’s one of the it’s one of those things that everybody uses, there’s something that you can batch out and make A lot of in a short amount of time they don’t take up a whole lot of space, so you can kind of have them in the corner of your garage or in your basement, or something and just have them ready to go and the next time that You need to make a sale or get a few extra dollars of cash.
You can just start texting a ton of people that you haven’t talked to in a while and just said, hey running this business now was just batching down a ton of cutting boards, one if you wanted one and that’s a really easy way to make a you Know a couple hundred bucks very quickly. It’S also another thing that you can approach businesses with one thing, my buddy Bruce Aldrich that he does. He makes cutting boards for closing gifts, so he’s got a really good connection with a bunch of realtors in town, and he just asked him he’s like hey.
Can I make cutting boards and you give those to your clients as closing gifts when they buy a home or sell a home with you? He stays really busy making a lot of cutting boards and you can get super fancy with cutting boards. You can do the face grain cutting boards, which we do a lot of. You can also do edge and integrating cutting boards, which are also they take a little more time, but they’re really really nice.
And if you get a realtor, that’s got the money to spend on really nice closing gifts typically 50 to $ 100. You can really start to make a lot of money, especially once you start patching them out. That’S also a really good opportunity for you, as a business owner, to learn how to scale if all you need is an extra two or three clamps and you can make another two or three cutting boards per batch. That really raises your profit margins.
So this kind of teaches you how to scale with a small product that way when you get ready to do something like a restaurant or a department store and build all the display tables. You kind of already know how to think through a lot of products running through your shop at once. Yeah, that’s why we recommend cutting boards are a great place to start, if you’re a business, that’s just trying to get off the ground and learn how to do this production thing.
What’S a blanket ladder, it’s time for a field trip, taking a trip. Have your seat? Is it going to be lit? This next up is blanket ladders. Jenny made this one with just a jigsaw and a drill. It was going to be so mean if you just stopped in there stupid easy to make Jenny made this one. Alright. Next on the list, our blanket ladders – they’re very simple – to make Jenny made this one with just a jigsaw in a drill.
They do really well in a living room. They’Re, really versatile. You can get kind of intricate with them. If you want to all it takes. Is just a couple of two by fours you can screw them together plug the holes. This again is another good project. It’S a little bit larger, but you can batch them out really quickly. So it’s another really good learning opportunity for you, as a business owner to batch five to ten of these out and kind of move through the process of doing multiple pieces at once in your shop.
These do really well at craft fairs. Also, do the measuring sticks? You know where you measure your kids height on this stick and you can take the stick with you. If you move or something like that and blanket ladders are really easy to sell, because you can also sell decorating packages with them. This is something Jenny’s done. She’Ll, like bundles she’ll, take a like a burlap sack. You get it Walmart or something like that and she’ll put like four seasons worth of decorations in each one from like Hobby Lobby or somewhere and she’ll sell that bag of decorations for 20 bucks, along with the blanket ladder for about 50 or 60.
So for a hundred bucks, you’ve got a piece and decorations already put together ready for a year-round decorating in your living room, a lot of people in the East in the south, where my family’s from we have a whole bunch of blankets and quilts that are family. Heirlooms and they’re just collecting dust in the closet, but you could put them on a blanket ladder display them. That’S another sales angle that you can go for really.
These things are just so versatile for decorations. Just try to find out what’s popular in your area and try to throw together a decorating package to go with the blanket ladder, because that’s going to go way further than just having a ladder made out of wood that you’re trying to sell. So this is a good way to learn how to market and take good pictures too. Oh my god, so the last thing we’re going to talk about is kitchen tables.
This is where you can really flex your muscles as a maker. If somebody’s buying a kitchen table from you, it’s probably not the first thing they’ve ever bought from you. Maybe it is, but this is a pretty high-dollar item once you’re starting to talk about like custom kitchen tables you’re looking in the to $ 3,000 range, just kind of depending on the size of the table. This is where you can learn how to make bigger items.
You really have to think about your clamping strategy, your sanding and finishing strategies. It’S just everything’s different with a larger product. Everything changes when the project gets really big. It’S one thing to do a bunch of cutting boards and if you have the tables booked, when you get one or two kitchen tables in the workshop, you start to run out of space really quickly. So it’s a good exercise and learning how to you know, just manage your space.
I guess this is where you can really find out how well your shop is laid out, because if you can’t make a large item like a kitchen table in your shop, you may need to consider getting rid of some things or moving some stuff around, especially if You want to do any sort of like production. You, like my crocks you. These are my nice crocks, but yeah kitchen tables. If you’re at the point, where you’re selling kitchen tables to your clients, I’m pretty sure, you’ve made it because that’s something that they’re family touches eats on like people will trust you if it’s like a small cutting board or something.
But if they’re going to spend two or three thousand dollars with you to build a kitchen table, I feel like you’ve you’ve arrived, that person is definitely on your ferris wheel. I hope these tips have been helpful. These are just the five things that we make the most of that we will have the best learning opportunity for a small business or a side hustle trying to learn how to build things and there’s all different types of construction.
Like we’ve covered small things like cutting boards, two really big items like kitchen tables. If you can master those five products, part products, if you can master those five products, everything is going to go your way and it sounds like you’re off to a great start.

2 Zuko shows us that he can make these daggers out of fire and they’re super cool. I wanted some fire daggers when I was kid for sure, but instead of fire daggers. Well, I’m going to be doing today is a review of this kunai dagger that you can get links in the description, but definitely stick around and see how good this is for you now guys if you go out and buy this knife, kunai dagger, whatever you want To call it, I’ve got to come any case just like this, with a little pair of cord at the end and your belt loops that you can scrap your belt through there now you can choose to you, know, strap it to your belt and have it on Your hip or you can strap it around your neck and have it underneath your shirt.
Now here’s the thing it doesn’t come with straps that hard long enough this, since this is just paracord, that’s not a super big issue. Paracord super cheap, and you can just you know, buy some more paracord to make yourself a necklace, but just know that this doesn’t come necklace ready, even though it would work because holding it upside down doesn’t really come out like that, like I can shake it around Running around doesn’t really come out until you pull it out.
Just like that. Now, what we’re going to do is we’re going to talk about the knife. This knife is meant for throwing. Hence why it’s solid on the front, and it’s got these holes that are actually meant for weight. It reduces the weight that it this knife will have wouldn’t blowing through the air that way it can spin it a lot better. It can throw a lot easier to fly through the air nicely all that fun stuff.
Now I kind of suck at drawing knives relatively I’m not the greatest, but I was able to find my pattern and be able to get this to stick relatively often compared to some of the other knives I’ve thrown. So, in my opinion, this is great for throwing. You are also able to use this as a weapon or self defense weapon being able to hold it in your hand, either up right side up for that stabbing motion or how I would choose this way down.
So you can get that blunt object for in and you can get that stabbing motion there. That’S how I would use it. You can obviously hold it. However, you want to it’s a knife. It you know cuts things either way, but it is great for that, because if you have it on your belt or as a necklace, you can quickly hoop pull it out and have that ready to defend yourself now guys, here’s the thing this is going to be A relatively inexpensive night for you to have, and because that is going to be made with stainless steel.
No, I know all you knife aficionados are losing your mind about Liz, but here’s the thing as far as self-defense purposes. This is excellent. You don’t need some sixty dollar piece of equipment as a knife, if you’re just trying to protect yourself, you don’t need something that will you know withstand you, know generations and be passed down through generations. You don’t need a Damascus steel just for a simple self-defense that that’s just not how it is, and so because you’re not going to be parrying other knives with this nut, because you’re not going to be stabbing other metals and trying to like putting it stress testing It basically you’re just trying to throw it into trees or defend yourself with it.
This is ideal. For that reason, you don’t need. You know be 60 and even hundreds of dollars to spin on a knife that you’re just going to use for self-defense you, don’t you don’t need that, and so for all of you guys that you know art knife aficionados, stainless steel. I don’t know how much that will mean to you, but for those of you that are relaxed stainless steel is not that bad. It’S okay! Now guys, if you are interested in buying this knife, this kunai links are down in the description for you.
If you are interested in that at all, but regardless doesn’t leave a like if you enjoy this article and tell me what you think about it, if you honestly disagree with me about famous steel, let’s talk about in the comments, I would love to have that conversation In the comments with you guys before I let you guys go, I want to make sure everybody knows I’m having a subscriber a twenty five thousand subscriber giveaway, where I’m giving away not one but two Karambit blades to two people, one on my Instagram and one on My YouTube, so if you are interested links or not links, but information is Dow description on how you can be involved.

Now, with all that said, my name is DJ Morris. This is the modern ninja and I’m out you
So yesterday, or in the last article, article number two, I actually shared with you how to create a like campaign. But I just like to talk to you a little bit more because I’ve had some questions about the value of likes on your fan page and why? You would want to even have a fan page or run a light campaign to it.
So let’s just chat about that a little bit so, first of all, why have a fan page at all? A facebook fan page is a really handy attraction, marketing tool because it’s somewhere, where you can share your skills, you can help other people and while you’re branding yourself at the same time, so it’s an awesome place to share content and give value to your followers. So it’s also somewhere where you can get people onto your email list, and I think I actually mentioned in article to that.
A fan page. They are people on your fan page in any kind of followers in social media are a list in one way, shape or form, so it doesn’t have to specifically be an email list, but you can actually install what we call an app on your fan page where People can be directed immediately that they like the page. You can send them there to that app and they have the option to maybe read a welcome article and opt in for some extra value.
So that’s just a really handy little point there to know that you can get them to like your page and also get the lead all in the one step now. Also in your posts on your page, you can offer people other extra value if they opt into a capture page. So it’s a way of also getting people on to your list, but the moon. Our thing with it is to create a community of really dedicated followers who just really hang on every word that you say, because you’re sharing so much content and giving so much value now, like I said it’s a way of creating a community of devoted followers.
So you would set up, as I said, the new lights taken to the opt-in page when they liked the page and that builds your email list. And then you can move fans to your email list for office and more value really really important to have fans who are interested in what you do and offer so make sure that you’re very targeted. When you’re setting up your light campaign to only attract people who are going to be interested in what you actually do, talk about and share on your page and also remember that people have similar interests, like your friends, have similar interest to you.
My friends have similar interests and, if they’re, very interested in in online businesses and network marketing or whatever your page is about, their friends will possibly also have similar interests. And it’s very easy to read the friends of your fan page as well as their actual fans, which gives it a little bit of a capacity to go sort of viral. So that’s just a little bit more background about why you would want to run a live campaign.
It’S basically due to get more people to your page, so you can engage with them and give them offers where they might opt in to your email list. But you can share just as much value on a fan page, especially with what I’m going to show you now about promoted posts now promoted posts. Now that you have a fan page and people are liking, your page, it’s time to get them engaged now. I said before you want targeted, like so will be interested in what you actually post and you can then promote your posts to create engagement with it.
It’S like a paid advertising campaign. You’Ll remember when we went through all those types of ads page post engagement was one of the types now our promoted posts, an order for immediate sales and really neither is a fan page, it’s more for creating engagement and giving value. Rather than actually making immediate sales, so it’s for engagement, so let’s go in and we’ll do a live demo of a promoted post and I’m actually going to use article number one.
The post on my fan, page, where I made article number one and we’ll set up a promoted post around that so we’re just going to go um. Let me know i’ll just go back here and we’re just going to go, live to my facebook fan page now. We can either go in here directly to my page, or I can go in through manage adverts. I’M going to do this in power editor, so I’ll going through my page, which makes it a little bit easier now.
This might look different to you because I’ve actually got a business page and my other ones work more of my personal account. But this is my business page, my main fan page and over here on the left-hand side. We can go either to add manager or power. Editor now remember, I said: power editor only works if you’re using google chrome as your browser, so click here on power editor and hopefully everything will be up and working in here it’s been I’ve been a little bit obnoxious lately and it hasn’t been uploading everything properly.
So you can see here, there’s 27 changes to be reviewed. Usually, when I come in, I will go and have a look here, but I did try to delete some campaigns the other day, some old campaigns that I actually had created but hadn’t used, and there are some problems in there. So I’m not going to actually do that right now, so we’ll just cancel that now, because it’s not showing all of my campaigns for some reason.
I think I showed you this the other day. We can go up here and reset power editor. Now it will discard those unpublished, changes that are here, but I’m not worried about that at this Sophie, because I’ll have to go back and look into it a little bit further. So it’s just restating power now and now it should come up with all of my campaigns showing up so there we go they’re all showing up there. Now now we’re going to create a new campaign, so we’ll go up here to create campaign and we’re going to create a new campaign which is promoted article number 1 i’ll call it facebook article number one – might even just change that facebook article and number one promoted Post, ok, we’re going to leave it at auction buying type and we need to click on here and put the objective in here and we’re going down here to page post engagement and that’s an advert that boosts your posts.
Ok, click. There will create a new Adsit. So we’ve just got to check here to choose that to create new over and we might put this one in the news feed so we’ll just call a promoted post for the news, feed. Ok and now we need to just go down here and create the ad and we’ll just put news feed, add one and create now it won’t have made all of the creatives. If you remember from last time we did this, so we’ve got to go in here.
Now and edit up our campaign, so everything is pretty much set up in here. I don’t want to set a total advertising campaign budget for this one. So that’s all done now. If we just click here, this will take us to the ad set that we created and I want to edit it well. It’S actually got it all up here now, so we don’t even have to click on edit now daily budget. No, I wouldn’t want to spend $ 11 for this one five dollars daily um.
I will leave the end run. I can close it off whenever I want to now I’ll need to set up a audience, so I want to set up a new audience. So, let’s edit this audience now, it’s already got Australia there. As I said last time, that’s the default city. So I want to add: the united states are here perhaps the United Kingdom and Canada, so they’re the main sort of english-speaking country, so I’ll use those.
Now the mercy of people on my page is slightly older, so rather than 18, maybe we’ll set up for 35 and older and I’ll live it. It all men and all women English. I don’t know if you had to fill up on in, but I always do and now we’re going to go down here to detail targeting now. This article is about advertising on Facebook. So it’s going to be appealing to people who have a network marketing business or an affiliate, marketing business or people in specific companies.
You know network marketing companies, things like that. So, just depending on how you want to set up your ad and who your avatar is. I think really carefully about the targeting, so just for now and for times sake I’ll, just target affiliate marketing people are interested, so that’s an interest in affiliate marketing and we could also do network marketing so as an interest network marketing. So that will do but depending on who, your avatar is think very very carefully, because you want it to be appropriate to what the post is about.
Also are congruent with what your page is about, and we could also have a look in there and see if I’ve got anything about Facebook market and they do and perhaps even Facebook leads it doesn’t have. Facebook leads okay, so we’ll just leave it there at those three now we can include connections like we can include people who are like my page or friends of people who, like my page or I can even exclude people who, like my page, so i’m just going To leave that blank for now and click on save, so that’s our ad set audience setup.
Now we’re going to move down here and choose the placement now I’ve call it newsfeed, so we’re going to get rid of mobile, Instagram and right column and just leave it as news feed. No, it’s all set up here, page post engagement and automatic, so that is pretty much done now. So I can review those changes now. What is our there’s? No ad set up yet so that’s, okay! So we’ll click here on ad sets and now it’s going to take us to adverts.
You can see that and we’re going to need to edit our advert. Now this is a post engagement, so we need to choose the post, but first of all we need to choose the page, and this is the page. I don’t want to do it on Instagram and I’m going to use an existing Pope. So here we go here. We’Re going to select a post, so let’s just go down here and it’s this one here so we’re going to that’s the post that I want to promote and that’s pretty much it all set up and ready to go.
So then we would just click on review changes and it’s up and running and ready to go and our promoted post is being promoted to our audience. So basically, that’s the logistics. Now I’m not going to set this up because I would target it a little better. I’Ve just done that show you how to actually set up a promoted post now you can also do a boosted post just from the post. So if we go back here to use the page and if we just find one of our posts, you know this is a blog post um.
I could actually boost this post. If I wanted to and i’ll just show you how you do this, it’s not there’s not as much optimization and everything from a boosted posts. So it’s a kind of a quick way of doing it and kind of in a way, I suppose, a lazy way of doing it. But i’ll show you how you actually just go in and quickly boost a post, so you can have it either in desktop newsfeed or mobile news feed, and you can target people who, like my page, people who, like the page and their friends which is you know, Quite a broad targeting or you can choose people through targeting, but it’s not going to be as targeted targeting.
If you get what I mean as it is, if you go in and create an ad for a page post engagement, then here you can set all the same things you can set the budget you can set, how long you want it to run to so pretty Much it just doesn’t have as many options as the other way and then you just click boost, and that would be shown to Sean to whoever you indicated here in your audience. So that’s another way to just boost a post really quickly.
Okay, now just back here to the slides. Now I want to keep these articles quite short yesterday or in the last article I said I was going to talk about events and how to promote them today, but it’s quite involved, so I want to leave it until the next article. So why not now go and make yourself a fan page? If you don’t have one and on my Facebook fan page, there is a article there about how to create a fan page and then go in and create your first like campaign, and once you have some likes, then you can start engaging your followers with a promoted Post so there’s a little bit of homework there if you want to get started with that, so now, what’s in the next article, so in the next article I’m going to be covering facebook events and what they actually are and how to create an event and how To promote an event in facebook, so that’s all I’ve got for this article number three I’ll talk to you again really soon, with article number four I’m Katie Johnston,
This is true that you only can use five hashtags people are getting more engagement from 30 hashtags and there’s so much bull out there. That will tell you to use five hashtags or third, alright guys listen. So this is episode 3 of asks, J, where I answer your questions on how to grow your social media and business. My name is Jane Eyre Mwanza and I am a 16 year old entrepreneur and I’m just obsessed with social media marketing, and I have a consulting business where I help you guys, one-on-one in addition to my personal brand and digital marketing company for my family.
So I have a pretty good grasp on the social landscape, and today I have a few guys where I’m going to call you guys up and I’m super pumped it’s a gorgeous day here in California. So if you want some more ass, Jade’s make sure you get this article a thumbs up and if you want to know how you can be on the next ask: Jade stay tuned: okay, first, caller, honestly, it’s been a wild day. I have to go over more.
What what I’ve been doing – and I woke up at 4:30 – hey – this – is Jade, hello, hello, okay, yes, hello, hi! This is Jade from YouTube. What do you mean it’s going to argue this matches? This match is rough hi. This is Jade from YouTube you’re on the ask: what is their closet about? What is the cause of the bar? Got it cool cool, so it’s I mean something you’re kind of have an idea who you demographic is, but it’s not really specific.
Like do you know what a location of it do you think it’s a girl, that’s or a guy? That’S in college, that’s struggling to find their purpose in life like what do you think their message or your message so he’s confused. I’M not sure right now we’re what your goal is. Is it like a thousand subscribers like what is it? What is it for you, okay, okay, so you need a niche down, so I would say: stop doing 25 to 34.
I would say literally I’m so I’m working with the artist he’s like 24 to 30 Detroit people that also have asthma, that, like rap music, like literally niche down to that point, niche down and since you’re not posting them, because you don’t need a post that much To create good content, just really be super targeted, so in each every article, you’re literally like if you have asthma and you’re from Detroit and you you know what I mean like cuz you’re towing me, like all these other other bloggers are unrelatable, because they’re too, like Hardcore perfectionist like but you’re, relatable and people like authenticity, you guys are shell.
I need water, I’m super dehydrated by the way, guys, if I ever miss your call, you can always sign up for the next and you can be the first one. The next sessions you’re on the ask Jade show: okay, okay, I guess what they’re not loyal to they don’t stay to the next one and they don’t like keep up with your content. Is that your thing just thing so who’s our target audience? Who is the people that don’t really give a shit right now? That’S a hard question by the way so might take a while.
If you have an idea stored out 18, ok, she’s, also she’s, older god, it’s okay, la bete is like I’m just saying like I’m not trying to stereotype, but, like you can imagine right, like you can imagine right there problem. You know you know what people have in common with that 18 to 25 year old girls that go to the la big college because they’re insecure. So what you do is the reason why people like your content and they’re not staying is because dance and like a lot of arts, it’s cool, but it doesn’t really change a life like I mean I’m not saying it’s like not cool.
It’S like you. Don’T I mean like it doesn’t change life? It doesn’t make someone like wake up from their. You know biggest problem, so what you can do is keep creating dance content button. Your captions put some inspirational or like just a life story of yours, and people will literally, if you do like part, one part, two of a story: they’ll keep up with your content. I think it’s all about execution on how you can bring them value and entertainment.
At the same time, I don’t know like I feel like as a dancer. You have a lot of storytelling. Why don’t you tell some stories in the captions? Okay, my camera cut off, but it’s on asleep. In a crazy day, I woke up at 4:30 a app because it’s 4:30 a.M. Grab my bags move from LA to San Francisco, which is where I’m now I’m staying here kind of in the Bay Area. It’S just been five hours of driving and calls, and it was hard to fit in the ass Jade show so yeah and I look like tired eyes.
I hope this was an okay piece of cotton piece of content for today, and I want to bring you tremendous value, the difference between me and my competitors or Gary and, unlike all them, I generally want to help every single one of you guys. Okay, so if I forgot it reached you or you got missed, let me know, and you can just be the first one on the next session and although it’s really busy, I plan to help every single interview as much as I can I’m trying my hardest and It regards to your business, guys, there’s so much bullshit there.
So I hope this is a safe place in a community where you can just let me know you ever have a question. I think I’m going to close off a state just because my battery is dying and I need to get some water inside and I do you hydrated us in regards to one question. I got do hashtags matter. This is true that you only can use five hashtags people aren’t getting more engagement from 30 hashtags and there’s so much bullshit there.
That will tell you to use five hashtags or three. It doesn’t really matter. I don’t even use hashtags like you, can look at my post. Some of them do well with them and some don’t need them like when you think about it. Do you actually go to hashtag, visco or hashtag la model and consume content from a hashtag like most likely? Okay, sorry, if you do but most likely the day to day basis, that’s all how you consume content! You just consume content! That’S on your feed on your timeline, whatever it’s recommended to you on the explore page.
Rarely do I actually search for hash. I really rarely don’t I mean if you do I’m so sorry. This will not apply to you, but as a normal teenage can see we’re like. I don’t do that. I, like not everyone needs to, like my posts, that’s why I don’t really care about hashtags and I think it’s a great way to find people. I would use hashtags for the sole reason of finding other like-minded users. If you want to find someone in SM MA or like a marketing category, you do hashtag marketing and DM all those people, that’s what I would use it for.
I wouldn’t really use it for like the sole purpose of getting random likes or using relevant hashtags. The only reason why Instagram is just saying to use five hashtags instead of thirty or it’s just be spammy, because they don’t want people using the hashtag Instagram model, because it’s trending and everyone uses it and no one has some correlation to it. They just want to create a user-generated feed, so people actually like hashtags like people hate hashtags back in I don’t last year it wasn’t cool to do hashtags for the sole reason.
Then it became spammy and kamana ties. I really do believe it doesn’t really matter how much you use you can use 30 just make sure it makes sense for your audience and make sense for the piece of content. Each hashtag needs to be different for each post, so I would just say it doesn’t matter just make sure and make sense for what you’re posting and it helps you find people, and you can find people through your hashtags.
That was today’s daily Jade and I need some water. I just really let you know I’m so so blessed to have every single one of you, you guys in the next one, but like congratulations to the comment winner, this post, to be to the next step. This.

What’S up with you guys how you doing How you’re being if you did not know by now, my name is DJ in this: is the DNA Show you haven’t already go ahead and hit that subscribe button brah, you don’t Read a couple articles already you seen my face before and you still ain’t hit. The subscribe button come on, brah smash, the button join, the family drop a Comment down below, let me know that you are now new to the family.
If this is Your first time, seeing a article was something you don’t win. So let’s go Ahead and get into this article brah, I am excited to talk about this topic. Just Because I know not just me, but each and every one of us sneaker heads out there In this world of the sneaker Kingdom, we all trying to get our shoes for retail Or under retail or whatever it may be, so I’m going to talk about how to get your Shoes for retail today, alright step number one.
Now this one is very, very Important now the reason why I say this one is so so important because to me I Feel like it’s all about who you know and how you can get things and why. I say: That is because you got a network if you don’t network, when you’re trying to be a Sneaker head: it’s just going to be so much harder. If you know more people, if you Know, owners of shops – if you know people that’s doing private parties special Releases any things like that when it comes to these rare drops not sure, take It in sometimes you never know who it is, that has the plug on what or whatever it Is but nine times out of ten if they’re interested in sneakers, I guarantee you They probably know somebody that might know somebody that knows somebody that One day down the road they’re able to get that random rare shoe that they Didn’T want, and you now want and the reason why I’m saying build your network Is not just to use people, but also to create lifelong friendships.
You never Know you might come across something like I’m a size 13 say I came across Something size 11 and I’m like hey. I know the homie that might want this shoe. So I could slide it to him and he could get the plug on it because it just Wasn’T for me now, I know we all want to get these rare Choose for herself, but sometimes it might be better just to plug the homie Because you never know they might be able to plug you down the road as well.
And the next thing you know you getting that other rare shoe that you want it. And you couldn’t get it and they got it. You know what I’m saying you get: the Memo, let’s take it a step number two. This one pertains to educating yourself: And understanding what’s going on around you and that is finding release news and How do you do those things? First thing, I’m going to say is: go to social media Platforms, so that’s going to be places like YouTube, Instagram, Twitter things like That, when you find different people like me on YouTube or somebody else that has Information for you that they can give to you about where to get stuff, for how To get it all, these different things take advantage of those platforms, dive Into different links that you see on Twitter and find feeds and places to Follow and things like that, I’m going to link different things down below in the Description on blogs that you should be following and instagrams and Twitter’S and all those different things so that way you can get more information.
From those places and they’ll be dropping more stuff for you, so that way, They can send you a direct link or whatever it is hey. This shoes dropping On this day, or this date got pushed back, these are now going to be coming out here. Or this is the store that they drop out or whatever maybe make sure you take. Advantage of those locations and then you want to go to sneaker blogs, I’Ll have this list of sneaker blogs down below as well, and what I mean by Sneaker blogs is they’re going to pertain specifically towards sneakers and Blogging about the topic whenever a new shoe is premiered to the public, nine Times out of ten, the sneaker bugs are going to get the information first they’re Going to take the photos, they’re going to find any leaked photos and they’re going to post Pictures about it say: hey this, you might be coming out in the summertime, whatever May be, and when the summertime comes around nine times out of ten they’re Probably going to already have that release information say: hey this shoe releases.
On July 14th, and go here for this information and click on this link to go. To this store to enter this raffle and all these different things, unfortunately, It’S not just easy to be like. Oh I’m not to go caption shoes for retail. That’S my Number one method, honestly of keeping track of just what’s going on, there’s so Many releases brands and all these different traps – Everything’S been kind of on hold with what’s happening right now, but I Guarantee you, with all these release, dates getting pushback, there’s going to be A lot of stuff dropping and there’s going to be a lot of dough.
That people want to go up so make sure that you stay tuned for that stuff at Understanding hey this release date was then, and now it’s now. So how can I get It step number three now this one right here is the direct-to-consumer right. We Understand we just did our research, we know where all the stores are that are Going to be getting the shoe, we made our phone calls, we’ve done everything that We needed to do, and now we want to go to the big headed monsters, who’s going to have The most pairs where they most easily accessible, those are the factors you Want to come to next so when it comes to that who has the most pairs and who’s Going where Nike and Adidas Jordan Brand easy, whatever you want to call it, they Fall under two different arm brothers, but let’s start with Nike.
First, so Everybody knows: Nike has what sneakers F. If you haven’t already download that out, That’S where you can get the latest and greatest it’s a very hard time. Sometimes On the very limited drops they do, raffles instead of first-come, First-Serve, a lot of people have different emotions when it comes to Sneakers app, I’m probably assuming the same thing with easy supply. We’Ll talk. About that in a second, but we could talk more about sneakers out in another article.
I’M not going to break down the whole checkout process and the fastest way of Doing all that, if you doesn’t want that drop a comment down below, let me know if You guys want that but stand on topic. We have Nike sneakers at Nike, calm down our Scene at the store, so then you have to go to the store and figure out hey what Is the Nike store doing what you got a call in a wouldn’t? You know you guys Doing around floor you guys know first cup served.
I need to come a week early Every store every city has different rules, so the best thing I can say is Call up your stores locally and understanding: where can you get it if You have no stores in your seat, your best bet is going to be online or a friend That you know that lives in a city that does have a store, and that comes back to Step number one with networking, because if you have a friend that doesn’t want The shoe call them up and be like hey bruh.
I need you to pick up this shoe for Me all I’m saying is you can definitely call up a couple of homies in different Cities, because sometimes I got ta – call the homie in LA and be like: hey bro, I Need you to slide over there and snag that for me, because I know it’s only out. In LA I’m in Portland right now, which is a whole nother topic, but sometimes you Got to do that, but let’s take it to the adidas topic now: Yeezy supply everybody Easy’S everybody loves Jeezy’s, as you know, on this blog, you don’t see.
Easy’S that often on this blog just because i’m not a fan of them like that, Do I got the answers? Man, you only got the answers on you and you ain’t got the Edges, you already got the answers. Swag, all that extra stuff I like Nikes, that’s Me I don’t like it either zizi’s. It is what it is. That’S where I’m at, but Anyways on another topic, I’m getting off topic because I already know I got ta Explain myself because people is just going to be mad, that I don’t like to where I did is easy, but anyways easy supply is at a website that you can go and get Easy from obviously adidas comm, those are some other options.
A lot of people Want to get the more limited stuff, so they go for easy supply and again you Always need to be on places like Twitter in different places like that to see Where other people are dropping information whatever it is, that’s going. On keep your ear to the streets, I understand. What’S going on around you, Because you don’t want to be the one where you get on Instagram Thirty minutes too late, just randomly not paying attention to your phone and Then you look at everyone’s like oh, I just got the shoes and you’re like damn.
Right I missed out, I didn’t even know you don’t want to do that. Keep asking Questions keep talking to people keep looking for. Answers so within that same category of all this stuff, it comes to apps in Different places where you can enter into raffles through our app or a Website and different places like the Flex app, which is done by Foot Locker in Different places like that, so I’m going to have links to different apps as well and Information for those, but you really want to dive into the apps and take your Chances because sometimes you might be able to enter a raffle on an app and be Able to go pick them up from your local shop.
That’S how you know at the mall or Whatever, why not try, if you’re trying to get shoes you might want to try the Worst thing you could do is download the apps and not at least try it’s free to Try it doesn’t hurt you to enter a raffle right, so go ahead and enter the Raffles for your local shops and don’t be always complaining. I never win the Raffle, I never win your avila well, you’re! Definitely not going to win.
If you Don’T enter so at least just try. It’S not going to hurt you. That’S not your only Option I guarantee you right now, there’s no way you can just try one Avenue to Get a pair of shoes for retail and expect it to work every single I get a lot of shoes for a retailer under retail and I have not got every Single one of my pair of shoes from the same direct source they always have to Come from different ways and different people and different stores and Different, you always got a network.
You always got ta get stuff from different Way so be open-minded, understand, hey, you can’t win them all, but you definitely Got to try another big thing is when it comes to the Raffles now nine times out, Of ten the raffles happen at a store, and then they say you got to pick up the Shoes by 1:00 p.M. Or 6 p.M. Or whatever it is, you want to go in and get in line. At that store or do whatever it is that you can, if you lost and see, if you can Wait for that 1 p.
M. Time slot, so just in case a raffle winner didn’t win. You Could be that first person to buy first-come, first-serve right there, so You got to check your city and understand like what are the rules at my Stores, how do they function, how many people are going to come out for this Release everything varies depending on the release as well. So it’s hard to say: Specifically, all you do go loose many hours early or whatever.
It is because I Couldn’T tell you every city is different: every shoe is different. Every Release is different. These are all variable things that are happening when It comes to shoe releases, even if you get a random size and then try it out. For your size sell it to buy another pair in your size, whatever you got to do, That way, you at least got the shoe for Reta, and then you can make moves from There ok step number four now this one again, I think, is I don’t know all these Steps are very important.
That’S why I’m telling you everything but step number Four is important to me because I feel like, as you increase your odds, you have A higher chance right, because that’s just kind of like anything right. So what I’M saying is: increase your odds. Ask people around you that are willing to Help you people that are willing to also wake up at 7 a.M. Or 11 a.M. Or whatever Time it is in your city to jump on sneakers app or try to buy them on this Website or whatever it is, enter this raffle for me and go pick them up and I’Ll pay you whatever it is, get more people to help you out the bigger net of People that you have around you that’s willing to help you out brah, I’m telling You right now it’s going to be a crazy thing.
That’S how I got to pierrat Travis Scott once for retail office sneakers at because I had three people, try and two Of us hit – and it was funny because I hate and I was like bill yeah – let’s go – I Got him and I just got another text right after that, and it’s like screenshot coddled by my Brother, I got two pair. This is crazy. I feel like Nellie for a minute. Gig stop It and sometimes you don’t win at all, even with all the people, but sometimes You might strike and get you know two or three or whatever it is and get Multiples and be like damn bro, I really just came up so I know that was a lot of Information to take in I know, there’s a lot of things to talk about, and I can’t Touch each and every store in each and every shop.
But if you have specific Questions to any of those things that I broke down, other those four topics go Ahead and ask me down below and then I’ll try to get a more in-depth article. That way, we can have more information for you guys as well and again, I’m going to Drop as much as I can down below in the description, so you guys can do your Research find places to get more information and things like that.
I hope This was helpful again. I really want you guys to get shoes for retail and get Them for that great price that you’re always trying to get them for, because I Understand how the game goes breath I’ve been doing this for a long time. Over 10 What 12 14 years now or something like that? I’Ve been doing it for a long time. I understand how it goes: I’ve seen the evolution of sneaker collecting and how To buy shoes it used to be, you didn’t even need to camp out, you could just go Buy the shoe and then it was like first-come, first-serve, and then it was Like, oh, you could buy six pairs and then I was like.
Oh, you could only get two Pairs then it was like damn. I ain’t even going to be able to get a pair now. It’S Like these raffle, as long as I understand bruh, I feel you on this whole System and how everything works, because I’m telling you right now the more hands In the higher chances you’re going to have to get that shoe that you own so with That being said, my name is DJ, don’t forget to Like comment share and Subscribe, you already know what it is.

Other then Social
How's your website? Need a new one? Are you looking for a PRO? Check out the video below:
I was going to do it on a $ 500 budget. I was really inspired to do this to help that college girl. That was me in 2015, accomplish her goals and have a little bit more guidance. I’Ve really enjoyed building different ecommerce brands and having a few successful ones of my own. So here on YouTube, I wanted to challenge myself and not only start a business, but only have a 500 learn budget and throughout all the stories that I’ve had I’ve, never done this on a $ 500 budget.
I wanted to challenge myself and hopefully inspire anybody who is wandering or wishing or thinking or doubting that they can do it too. So welcome to my series – and I hope you enjoy it – what’s up y’all and welcome back to my blog so limited it is nice dimension. So today is the day that I am finally dropping this series that I’ve been working on for so long. I’Ve had an idea about this for the longest time I’ve been working on it for the longest time and I am just ready to drop it.
I started a challenge inspired by you guys and inspired by myself to start a business with a $ 500 budget. Now, when I first started my business, I definitely didn’t have $ 100 budget, and I was also inspired because I’m starting to new businesses and those are definitely not on the 500 large budget. But this is basically going to be a boring article about the trademarks, the licensing domains. Things like that, so let’s go ahead and just get right into the article.
Okay, so starting off with one of the most important things is actually getting a seller’s permit. Now and before I get started, let me just go ahead and put a little disclaimer, because I’m not a professional. These are the things that I did. I know how to do to the best of my legal ability, so if you guys are not in California or you guys are in California – and you guys are taking my don’t, this isn’t an advice article.
This is how I did it article. So just take everything that I say with you know a little grain of salt and do your own research, but first things first for me is getting a seller’s permit so that I can actually buy merchandise to sell how you get a seller’s permit is going to See the TSA see a GOP now this is where you get a seller’s permit in California and then from there you’re going to go to permits and licenses and then from there you’re going to click register online and then under the register, tab you’re going to click New and then you’re going to click, business activity or location, and then it’s going to ask you to sign into an account or to create an account.
I already have an account, so I’m just going to basically go off of the way that I did it because I already have one and then it’s basically going to ask what you’re selling, because there’s different permits and licenses when you want to go into selling things. Like Alcohol, Tobacco, certain electronics and things like that, but I’m going to someone close up. It’S going to be pretty simple for me and then it’s also going to ask what kind of entities have whether that’s a sole prop escort a c-corp, an LLC.
When I started out, I started out as an individual. It’S also going to ask you for your social security number, your ID, your visa, your military ID or your passport, and then your base is going to fill out the rest of your information. I can’t tell you guys how to fill out the information, because I don’t know what businesses you guys are starting, but as far as clothing, it’s pretty simple, pretty easy and I got my sellers form it instantly.
Next thing: that’s super important is getting a website. I personally love love, love, love, love and probably will always love Shopify. Their back-end is amazing. Their ecomp support is amazing that apps that they have is amazing. The templates are amazing, it’s super easy to use and you can really get a back in look at the analytics of people who are buying your products where they’re coming from.
In my experience I have tried Wix, I tried with a long haul along a long time ago, like in 2013-2014. I know they personally have up there back in, but for me personally, I’m good and safely shopify and that’s what I’m rocking with now. Another good thing about Shopify is: they do have a 14-day free trial where you can basically try out the website, see if you like it, you can design it and see if it’s something that works for you.
After that, then they do go into different plans. I believe the plans start at $ 29.99 $ 79.99 and then 299 dollars it all kind of just depends on what you’re actually needing for your website. I personally started out with the $ 29.99 dollar plan, and it’s worked for me. Another thing that you’re going to need is a domain. Now, a lot of these websites, where you can host in and have your website on their platform, will allow you to have a domain for free.
But it’s going to say my Shopify dot-com or got my Wix calm and one of the things that was really important to me when I was starting. My business is the integrity and the overall look and feel of the brand, even if you’re, just starting out girl. You got to act like you got everything in line and in order, so one of the things that I chose to invest in was buying a domain, especially because I knew this was going to be a long time brand.
It’S something I invest in my time. My energy, my money into so I had no problem buying the domain now Shopify now offers you to get a domain through them, which is only $ 14 a year. But since we are on a budget – and it’s really really tight – I’m going to go check on GoDaddy GoDaddy is actually where I’ve pretty much got every single one of my domains that I’ve had throughout my off all of my job shipping companies and my econ companies.
I also like GoDaddy, because they also allow you to have an email with your domain at the end so like, for example, info at the find guru com. It just adds that professionalism to your business and the integrity of your brand, in my opinion. So if you go to GoDaddy, not only can you search to see if the domain is available, it will also give you other domains that you can possibly choose from if your domain is not available.
So the domain that I’m looking for is available and it’s only a but there’s this little thing called privacy. Now one of the crazy scary things about being a small business startup owner is that because you have a business, everything that you do in your business is public record. So you want to be very careful because if you’re, just starting out and you’re using your home address, all of that information is public records.
So if you put your address as the address, then it goes up online and anybody can basically find your address. So, even though it ends up being more than it is on Shopify, I am going to buy this privacy just to make sure that my information is protected. Now, at this point in my career and in this point in business, I do have virtual offices that you guys can get from. I pull stool or peel boxes, but just because I am starting out – and I know that a lot of other people are starting out and they might not have a virtual office or appeal box, I’m going to pay that extra fee to have my privacy protected, which Actually brings us to twenty two dollars and sixteen cents for our budget.
So that’s the first thing that we budgeted in the next thing. That’S super important is a trademark. Now, trademarks are pricey, so it’s not like we’re going to actually file for a trademark, but we want to see if the company that we are trying to start it’s already trademarked, because you wouldn’t want to be that person who spends all his time and effort branding And getting everything started, run the business open up shop and then you start booming and you start going and then you find out knock-knock-knock this.
This name is already trademarked. You guys basically need to stop doing business under this name. So before you get started, go ahead and look up that trademark to see if you can conduct business under that name, the easiest way to look up a trademark is going to uspto.Gov. Then you’re going to go ahead and click trademark, then, from there you’re going to search for the trademark through the database and the way I always do it is.
I just do like a basic word search so that anything with that name could basically come up and then from there you’re going to type in the name just to see. If anybody has it and then if they don’t have it, then you can go ahead and start using it. If they do have it, you want, may want to reconsider, choosing a different name. Another thing, too, is you can see if the trademarks are active or active, and in that case you could kind of like consult with a leader for legal professional to see what you want to do moving on in that direction, but my biggest thing for me personally In choosing these brands, I personally always wanted to check before hand, even if I couldn’t afford a trademark at that time, because I wouldn’t want to be that person like I said who starts a brand, doesn’t look up the trademark, it ends up booming and then somebody Comes knocking on my door talking about that.
That’S their company and I can’t use it now. Another good thing with trademarks is there’s different classes or trademarks. So if you opened up a company called rosewater IV and it’s under the class of clothing, if somebody chooses to open up rosewater IV under like spas or services, then in that case, because it’s under two different classes, there is a chance that your trademark would get Approved once again not something that you would have to consult with a legal professional, but I’m just giving you a little bit of game on that.
So just do that before you get started. The next thing that you want to do, which is basically going to be the bread and butter of this business, is open up an Instagram account and a Facebook account. So the number one thing that’s most important is actually Facebook and not Instagram, because Facebook actually has all the back in analytics. That’S going to make your company in the future thrive so to make a Facebook account is super easy, I’m pretty sure you guys already know how to do that, and you don’t have a Facebook account.
You need to make one, because you can’t make a page business account unless you do it through a personal account. So first make a Facebook account, then you’re going to want to click in the corner and click create and then you’re going to click page and then you’re going to choose in this case I’m choosing a business after that. It’S going to ask you to basically put the store name and also the type of business, and then it’s also going to ask you to upload a photo and also upload a cover photo.
So next you’re going to want to connect your Facebook to your Instagram. So to connect to Ivy you’re going to go to settings and then from settings you’re going to go to account and then from account you’re going to go to business account and then you’re going to connect it to Facebook. Most of the time, if you have within the apps and it kind of automatically connects, but I’m going to just put a screen recording, so the you guys can see exactly what I did.
The reason why Facebook is actually more important in this case. That Instagram is because there’s something golden called the Facebook pixel. Now the Facebook pixel basically tracks every single person that goes to your site and is able to tell you their buying behavior certain demographics things that they’re liking things that they’re clicking things that they’re adding to their car things that they’ve gone all the way to checkout And then they stop in the abandon their check out things that get the most clicks.
Things like at the most hovers. It’S basically going to tell you everything and then in this case a lot of people don’t like this. But I know all of us have been on a website and we’re trying to buy this dress or trying to buy these shoes and then the next day we’re on Instagram. And then we see an ad for that exact item. That’S basically because of the Facebook pixel. So the Facebook pixel allows you once you have the budget and you’re a little bit more knowledgeable to target Facebook ads to people who have already clicked on your items.
So this Facebook pixel is important. So, to get this Facebook pixel, you are going to go to the business manager and then from the business manager, you’re going to go to the top of the three lines and then go to pixel. Then you’re going to create a pixel, because you don’t have one. This is a new Facebook account a new business account and then from there you’re going to create a pixel, and it’s going to take you through everything step by step.
Facebook is super easy to follow because they give you pictures and and then from there you’re going to go to Shopify and the Preferences and you’re going to add your pixel in there, and I will show you that in a later article another thing that is beneficial When you’re starting a business is to get an AI in number, which is basically a replacement for your social security number, so you’re not using that for everything.
That basically concludes today’s article. Those are the basics that I needed to start my business legal professional manner. Once again, this is not advice and since basically just what I did to conduct my business and start my business up, if you guys have any questions, please consult a legal professional, I’m not a legal professional. So I’m not going to be able to answer your questions. Also something that I don’t say that I need to start saying is: please you guys, like this article and don’t forget to subscribe to my blog.
