Essentially, this is a free tool. That’s going to give us almost all of the information we need to make informed decisions about which keywords are best for our business. So really we just want to go over there and I’m going to get you orientated show you the different features, keep in mind that this tool was built for Adwords and paid search.
So there’s some features there that aren’t going to be relevant to us and i’m going to point them out right so step one to using the google keyword. Planner tool is to get access to it, and in order to do that, you have to set up. Google adwords account again, that’s free and in order to find it, you can just type in the google keyword planner into the line. Little pop up just follow the prompts and set it up.
The only thing that I would point out is be careful when you’re choosing your currency, because you can’t change it once it’s set, so don’t make the mistake like I did. I set up my AdWords account when I was abroad and it set it up kind of automatically in the in the currency that I was in and I didn’t change it, and so I had to set up a new AdWords account. If I wanted to see it in a currency that I’m more familiar with, so I just set it up again in USD – I think that’s probably the best, and you know, especially if you’re selling, to a global audience.
It’s just a good reference point to have, but perhaps if your local business, you can just have it at in the currency of your particular country. So once you sign into AdWords you’re going to see this screen and then you can just go to tools and keyword. Planner and what you’re going to be presented with here is four different options. Three of them are really relevant to us, and the one that isn’t relevant is get traffic forecasts for a list of keywords.
That’s the feature, that’s specific, to add where and people who want to advertise without words. So let’s have a look at the first one. Really we just want to get orientated here and I’m just got a bit of an overview of what everything is. So here is where you can really enter in specific keywords. What I recommend doing is maybe putting in one two three try and be specific. If you put in something very broad like cars, all you’re going to see is really competitive.
Keywords for that, so you want to try and make it a specific I’m, essentially what you think people will be typing into Google. So another way to generate ideas is to put in your home page or a specific web page or blog article that you have and that will really throw up ideas for you. You know a great way to use. This section is to put in a high ranking competitor and see what keywords: people are typing into any land on that page.
Another thing you can do is use this product category section, so this will pull keywords from Google’s database and you can narrow it down. Quite a lot just to say: consumer electronics say gps navigation, DVS, GPS devices. So that’s just an example, but it shows you how deep you can kind of go into it. If you want great so once you have filled in one or all three of these sections. What you can do, then, is move on to targeting and you can target by location and language and if you want to add just on Google or Google and search partners.
So that’s its display network, including youtube. So I mean locations. You can get quite deep into it as well. You can then do specific countries or specific regions, and then language say: if you wanted to targus and say Brazil, then you can just put in Brazil there and on Portuguese, so there’s also options to customize your search. So you, and if you want to do average monthly searches, they say above a towson searches you put in there or say below 10,000.
You can put it in there as well suggested bid again. This is something that gives an indication of how well these keywords converse. So you might want to put it a suggested bid above say one or two dollars and then competition high medium low. Let’s go into that little bit more detail, then you can come back and change those settings if you want keyword, options is well. I’ve been kind to just leave these all off, where you can maybe narrow it, then, if you’re, finding that your search is that just to to me on related keywords, great so we’ve just finished, then the orientation of the first option within the keyword planner tool.
Let’s just quickly review the two other options and we’ll be able to get through these a lot quicker. This is the option to get search volume for list of keywords, so this is really a list of keywords that you already have, and then you want to determine the actual search volumes for them. So all you need to do is choose the file upload. Their and again you’ve got some of the options there for targeting great.
So, let’s look at the final option, which is multiple keyword lists, and this is probably the one I used less frequently, but it can be great for e-commerce because it really allows you to mash up a lot of different words and get a lot of different combinations. So what I’ve done in this example here is just really put in a couple of different colors, a couple of different brands and a couple of different products that they make really well.
We want to see a spark combination of those has the highest search volume. So, let’s have a look so red Knight, sneakers as the highest monthly searches in all locations, just 390 bike shorts as well through 90 and does be moved in you can see the least popular for average. Monthly searches is well. It goes down to rape. You mahadji search cats, less than 10 searches a month. That’s what that means.
If that’s a blank like that, so great that really wraps up our introduction orientation to the keyword, planner tool, you
Welcome back to my blog! What’s up! Thank you! So much for being here, they were going to call you guys up. This is the asteroid show where I answered your deepest darkest questions on social media. First caller is Charlotte and I’m getting ready as were chatting.
I wanted to be, as, like you know, real as possible, I’m a busy Cal and I’m just doing my ostracion as I’m putting my makeup on. So it’s like a multi, I’m some multi-level tasking entrepreneur, so we’re going to go with the first caller. Thank you. So much reading it we’re going to jump right. I think I have a microphone hello, hello, hello, hi. This is Jade girl to ask Jade, show hey Charlotte. How are you we’re doing amazing? So we got the we got the viewers here.
So, just let us know who you are what you do where were you from? I am from Scotland, I yeah. What do you do? What’s your? What’s your profession, I guess, what’s your, what are you currently doing on social media? Have a kind of like type thing? Oh I’m, taking at your account beautiful, foodie bloggers. What do you think is? What’s your current problem, how can I help you um? I just kind of wondered how to like insert more of myself into X.
Obviously, right now that’s kind of just like a lot of like food pictures but yeah, I kind of want to strengthen like personal side of it. So I got, I guess so. Maybe are you feeling, like you, get a lot more interaction and people find more value from food pictures? Not you. So you feel like if you post a picture. It’s like no one gives a shit. Okay, okay! I that’s what that’s a real problem, so how you do it like props to you.
Thank you. Well, let me let me take a look, so is YouTube something you’re currently working Harden or not as much you haven’t, sat down and filmed a YouTube article at all. I do Instagram lives or have you done anything with like face to face story? Interaction? Maybe you know what I think you should do. I think my biggest ever like tip for just starting to be like you know, trying to get comfortable with a camera, is really hard.
I’m telling you it’s like not like. I love the camera. It’s actually really weird, because no one’s fucking there, and sometimes if you go online right, if you ever like the do live, have you? Okay? If you have you done alive before? Okay, it’s just really awkward, but no one talks back and you’re just like looking for questions and no one’s asking anything. So how do you make it less awkward? So my biggest thing – I think I want you to try – is the key of being less awkward is called preparation.
So let me make it a little more less raw raw. I think what I would do for you is going on your DMS and whether you answer every single one or don’t for the next like leave it up for 24 hours to make people ask you, questions start the first couple articles slash you want to like segment Yourself inside just make it a Q & A do heavy Q & A because, what’s going to happen, is the reason why people don’t are not as interesting as Charlotte the person and more Charlotte the food? It’s because you don’t haven’t given them a reason to really care about you as a person.
For example, if you say give me a Q & A let me answer your questions and you do face to face interaction. They’re going to want to read your YouTube article. What I would do is, if you don’t know what to say, make people ask you. The second thing is you should try something called. It’s called like the 60 60 minute challenge. I think it might help you so basically a little bit. Okay, are you ready? So I actually I do this for so many Oh kind of like my artist friends like people who make music cuz some people just don’t wan na fucking.
I don’t know why they’re an artist but they don’t wan na make a song. So I try to help them with how to be more comfortable, putting stuff down on paper. So for you, I would say: set a timer 60 minutes, whatever you film in that 60 minutes, you have to post it, whether it’s stupid or whether it’s good you have to so. This really gets your mind to kind of be okay. With imperfection good luck, charlie, I hope you crush it by the way.
Send me a DM after you crush it, and I love to know how it goes hey. This is JT on the ask Jay. True hey what is up girl toss? What’s your name where you from my name is dope peace? That’s a beautiful name of what the heck! I love it. What do you? What are you clearly which would pretty clearly up I’m about to uploading article? What do you do on social media? Okay, that’s a great question because right now I’m not really sure I am trying, but I feel like they don’t try to become influenced it just happen.
So I’m just trying to figure out and navigate do like being youtuber in if I’m even a youtuber. Yet because I have what do you think makes someone an influencer an influencer? Basically, I want to change this like later on, as I become an experiencer myself, but I either right now I feel like an influencer or someone who can equation can carry on and it’s their word or like what they say about certain things.
It gets carried on. A lot of people are reading them, they have envy or they have just people have their eye on them. Okay, people these piece weeks. How about this? How do you measure an influencer? That’s a better question. I feel like you’re like no, like you know. How would you measure someone like, for example, like how would you measure how influential someone is there you go, it’s a hard one think about it.
Well, I’m thinking right now is like oh, okay, tell me more. What does that explain it to like a five-year-old saying, peace? How do you measure influence go wow? You might do something great right now, but not everyone can see it well. How would you measure your success if someone is okay, honey, mm-hmm? I know a lot of youtubers action, don’t make money, so those are the stupid utility you’re supposed to make money for, of course, I think about it like this there’s nothing wrong with money.
It’s just about how much time you’re dedicated. If you have all your money made from YouTube, your hashtag dedicated that’s your job, so I feel like people who are half-assing YouTube and don’t make money it’s because they don’t know they’re, not actually 100 % committed, which is not evil. I think people kind of tie grounds to hardly with money, so I mean like. Let me know: do you really want to quit your job and do you two full-time one, do if you’re starting small and you haven’t, made any money yet and like he’s being consistent or you’re trying to rescue like? Where did that? Please you what’s your goal to make money right in what yeah time it’s time holding you Matt’s, not enough time, not enough money to do what you want or not enough self-confidence.
/! It’s yourself holding back! This is what I would do. Peace, I’m going to help you out with your YouTube career when you’re, when you’re small, you do the following things: you just test a lot of shit you’re just going to try something and you’re trying to do what people want to do, which is make content. So what you first of all the first thing, this first step to be YouTube famous, is you need a frickin be like through the roof? Confident, if you like, talking to camera, make that like become just best friends, what’s going to happen? Is people only follow people that have what they want if you’re not confident enough, if you don’t show them that you are in love with this more than they aren’t they’re not going to follow you, I think too many people realize they’re scared about posting.
You literally, if you can’t, if you’re scared of posting a article, no one wants a fucking, follow you, because everyone in their own home just are is insecure. The reason why youtubers or success will succeed is because either they’re extremely confidant, camera and people kind of want that in you know kind of embedded in them. So they read you more. I think that’s what you need to start with start with a little bit of confidence.
This might mean taking a trip to the park and just kind of being real with yourself doing, a really full beat look to make you feel better whatever you start with yourself. First and then what I would do next is don’t give a shit and do my favorite technique called top ten of top ten. So this is something I haven’t cinema youtube yet, but what you can do right now? Peace go to your top ten favorite youtubers.
Go to their most popular articles, take ten of their most popular articles and recreate it in your own words. So then you have a hundred unlimited. You have a hundred unlimited articles that you know is proven and works. Okay, and what’s the problem with that? What’s going to help you’re going to you’re going to get sued, so something more like what are you afraid of with someone getting upset? No, no one gives a shit like no one.
You have to understand you’re, not copying, there’s a difference between okay, I think imitation is horrible, like copying their words or style, it’s horrible. What you can do is steal, there’s a book. Actually I want you to read it search steal like an artist. What it’s basically saying this book is saying: you want to steal like an artist which means you don’t take from one creator, you take from ten different creators and you just take the ones that you really like the pieces that works.
You don’t want to imitate anyone. Imitation is all flattery. I do agree with that. Just don’t take from one person take from multiple sources. That’s not stealing! That’s called interpretation, alright got it! Thank you love. Your piece have a good day. Hello, hey. This is JD on the a street show. What’s up? Okay, tell everybody what’s your name and where are you from I’m from LA cool? What’s up, how can I help you today? No, I had a quick question for you.
I am a sports journalist, particularly for the NBA. I wanted to know because a lot of my content and access piece – and it’s a lot of stuff like that games or events or practices and stuff and with the season over, feel like I’ve kind of hit a little bit of a wall, creating content, because there Just hasn’t been as much stuff to post. How do you keep that fresh when it’s kind of a drag ball right now with that with, like that’d, be a season over in LA on it, so you’re on 5,000 followers? What’s the outcome you really want to see from this like fucked off my head: I’d love to eventually be at like 50,000 200,000.
What do you think’s holding you back from getting to you? 50 100,000. I’m sure, like I think I posted contact cuz right now. A lot of your work is less it’s either you or the player. Have you had a piece of kana that to you guys together yeah, I posted some stuff, it’s a little further down, but like like an interview, because so this is what I think for you. I think you don’t have necessarily like OJ and I don’t know what to post like you do know what to post.
You know what gets likes. You know what people want to see. It sounds like to me: you just have a distribution problem. Do you think I’m onto something for apps yeah? No, you go. You go first over think I tend to overthink in general, but especially now it was posting. It has I’ve gotten more followers because I was around, like I probably had 700 like last summer, so I’ve gotten more followers. I got started overtake my captions and like when I ask a question.
I’ve noticed that I get pretty good engagement and results of questions, but I don’t know if I should be asking a question on every post or like some post. I can’t really think of a question that would go with the photo, the one where I’m like, posing with the basketball yeah that couldn’t really think of a question for that. But I think for me, if it’s a distribution and on top of that, like oh, I mean what I what I think about when I put yourself maybe, but if I’m myself in your shoes, maybe it’s like oh shit, I’m the shit now and I got ta.
Look cool so like for that, when you feel like you’ve made it somewhere, I would just do the complete opposite and just tell yourself you did to help you have it on shit, a lot of people when they get too big or, like I don’t even fake When you just experience fast growth, it can ultimately kill you, because in your head, you’re getting complacent and a little bit less oh, I think you actually know what to ask and what people want to hear it’s more of a fact of how vulnerable are you test? Testing a lot of things because you have to realize you’re still in the very beginning stages right now, you can’t overthink.
You really can’t afford that, but your dreams are bigger, I’m assuming so maybe you need actually think about like this, like you’re, just starting who gives a fuck. If you don’t know what to caption it, you have a lot more to go. That’s the first thing. Second thing is once you get over yourself and you’re like okay, I haven’t done shit. This is just only the beginning and I don’t need to worry so much about what people think.
I would actually take some of your best work. You did the spreadsheet thing, which is fucking cool, and this kind of like do this like smart, to take a photo with someone that has your audience. For example, amigos! That’s huge! What I would do is just take that freaking photo of a really meaningful caption and describes you and what you do put that as a Facebook or Instagram ad and show it to only migos followers.
People who are fans of me goes, I am Telling You they are going to come by on your page, a big host shit, I’m also like, because I’m I know a lot of guys if you target lot of guys, they listen to me, goes they’re, probably also Into basketball, so you know what I mean like, I feel like what you should do is distribution is simple ads. It’s it’s literally. What five dollars a day you can app at in just take your best content that you think people would be super interested in which is probably a photo and then insert yourself into it and then get that distribution down, because you already know what to post.
I feel like if you just want more followers triads, it’s the most targeted and fastest way: okay, okay and then one last question yeah a lot of photos of myself. I don’t want it to just become all about me, like I kind of want to invite value. To my see my followers, how would you say going about balancing like inserting myself into to my posts versus I know providing that most of people come for the other stuff? I assume.
Let me give you example. There’s a reason. Why Will Smith Will Smith? The page like Will Smith’s Instagram is better than a Will Smith’s Instagram like there’s a reason, my quote: Instagram pages, don’t do as well as maybe the personal page. I don’t think, there’s anything wrong with incident yourself in it, and why do you think it’s wrong? I feel like personal touches. People want to see face-to-face interaction, just because you put a selfie in it, doesn’t make it invaluable the values in the caption, the photos, just entertainment.
I don’t think you should worry about that. Okay, okay, so you think it’s fine to post more photos of myself as long as I’m providing value in the caption, I think that’s, what’s best people kind of want to see you kind of in the mix. I think that’s what makes you if you wanted to start just a. I don’t know editor page without you that would that be different story, but this is your page. This is like your page right, so you need to add yourself into it.
Alright, I’m going to go ahead over the next call. Let me know if you ever need anything have a great day. Oh, this is the completed. Look, it’s actually currently. 4 p.M. I have an event at 6 p.M.

So in this article today we’re going to do a review of the medieval Fight Club, crusading Knights data. That’S this one right here, hi guys it’s Ben from medieval mayhem. On this blog. We do a lot of reviews and we look at DIY costuming and furniture for medieval reenactment, the Society of creative anarchism and also for live-action roleplay game, as well as taking a good, in-depth look at many of the medieval cultures throughout the Western world.
So if you’re interested in the medieval period you might want to consider subscribe, hi, okay, I recently purchased this dagger. I was really looking for something to add to add some really nice touches to my costuming and my weapons. So I do some um some Hema, which is historical European, martial arts with one of the local reenactment groups and I’ve really gotten into it. I was really looking for a good sort of secondary weapon, as soldiers of today would refer to it.
I did a lot of research there’s a lot of rubbish out there. Then the market is really flooded with with cheap stuff and it’s just not packed right, but I found this one. It is actually very inexpensive, but the quality is really quite remarkable, so this cost $ 50, and I was quite impressed with that. The quality of the workmanship is very, very high. I’M really quite impressed the detail is is very good.
I find this a very easy sort of weapon to wield. It comes as a dull blade. It’S a total of 41 centimeters long, it’s a blade being 27 cm. The blade has a 35 millimeter width and weighs a total of four hundred and ten grams. So, let’s take a little bit more of a look already, so you can see this good shape of the blade here as a saying it’s nice and dull, so you don’t need to do anything with it to make it suitable for role play games, reenactment purposes.
That said, it is going to depend on the rules of your group. The the hilt has a really nice leather grip, and you can see it’s got a nice, rounded pommel. The cross guard is, is nice and firmly in place? I really like this. This is um. This is a classy piece of kit, I’m going to be making a leather sheath for this dagger in about a week’s time. So please remember check back so my recommendation fall of the crusading Knights.
Dagger is a 9 out of 10. I think it’s a fantastic piece of kit, otherwise guys please like subscribe and share and I’ll catch you in my next article
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.

Are you looking for a Website management agency? Look no further.
Welcome back to my blog! What’S up! Thank you! So much for being here, they were going to call you guys up. This is the asteroid show where I answered your deepest darkest questions on social media. First caller is Charlotte and I’m getting ready as were chatting.
I wanted to be, as, like you know, real as possible, I’m a busy Cal and I’m just doing my ostracion as I’m putting my makeup on. So it’s like a multi, I’m some multi-level tasking entrepreneur, so we’re going to go with the first caller. Thank you. So much reading it we’re going to jump right. I think I have a microphone hello, hello, hello, hi. This is Jade girl to ask Jade, show hey Charlotte. How are you we’re doing amazing? So we got the we got the viewers here.
So, just let us know who you are what you do where were you from? I am from Scotland, I yeah. What do you do? What’S your? What’S your profession, I guess, what’s your, what are you currently doing on social media? Have a kind of like type thing? Oh I’m, taking at your account beautiful, foodie bloggers. What do you think is? What’S your current problem, how can I help you um? I just kind of wondered how to like insert more of myself into X.
Obviously, right now that’s kind of just like a lot of like food pictures but yeah, I kind of want to strengthen like personal side of it. So I got, I guess so. Maybe are you feeling, like you, get a lot more interaction and people find more value from food pictures? Not you. So you feel like if you post a picture. It’S like no one gives a shit. Okay, okay! I that’s what that’s a real problem, so how you do it like props to you.
Thank you. Well, let me let me take a look, so is YouTube something you’re currently working Harden or not as much you haven’t, sat down and filmed a YouTube article at all. I do Instagram lives or have you done anything with like face to face story? Interaction? Maybe you know what I think you should do. I think my biggest ever like tip for just starting to be like you know, trying to get comfortable with a camera, is really hard.
I’M telling you it’s like not like. I love the camera. It’S actually really weird, because no one’s fucking there, and sometimes if you go online right, if you ever like the do live, have you? Okay? If you have you done alive before? Okay, it’s just really awkward, but no one talks back and you’re just like looking for questions and no one’s asking anything. So how do you make it less awkward? So my biggest thing – I think I want you to try – is the key of being less awkward is called preparation.
So let me make it a little more less raw raw. I think what I would do for you is going on your DMS and whether you answer every single one or don’t for the next like leave it up for 24 hours to make people ask you, questions start the first couple articles slash you want to like segment Yourself inside just make it a Q & A do heavy Q & A because, what’s going to happen, is the reason why people don’t are not as interesting as Charlotte the person and more Charlotte the food? It’S because you don’t haven’t given them a reason to really care about you as a person.
For example, if you say give me a Q & A let me answer your questions and you do face to face interaction. They’Re going to want to read your YouTube article. What I would do is, if you don’t know what to say, make people ask you. The second thing is you should try something called. It’S called like the 60 60 minute challenge. I think it might help you so basically a little bit. Okay, are you ready? So I actually I do this for so many Oh kind of like my artist friends like people who make music cuz some people just don’t wan na fucking.
I don’t know why they’re an artist but they don’t wan na make a song. So I try to help them with how to be more comfortable, putting stuff down on paper. So for you, I would say: set a timer 60 minutes, whatever you film in that 60 minutes, you have to post it, whether it’s stupid or whether it’s good you have to so. This really gets your mind to kind of be okay. With imperfection good luck, charlie, I hope you crush it by the way.
Send me a DM after you crush it, and I love to know how it goes hey. This is JT on the ask Jay. True hey what is up girl toss? What’S your name where you from my name is dope peace? That’S a beautiful name of what the heck! I love it. What do you? What are you clearly which would pretty clearly up I’m about to uploading article? What do you do on social media? Okay, that’s a great question because right now I’m not really sure I am trying, but I feel like they don’t try to become influenced it just happen.
So I’m just trying to figure out and navigate do like being youtuber in if I’m even a youtuber. Yet because I have what do you think makes someone an influencer an influencer? Basically, I want to change this like later on, as I become an experiencer myself, but I either right now I feel like an influencer or someone who can equation can carry on and it’s their word or like what they say about certain things.
It gets carried on. A lot of people are reading them, they have envy or they have just people have their eye on them. Okay, people these piece weeks. How about this? How do you measure an influencer? That’S a better question. I feel like you’re like no, like you know. How would you measure someone like, for example, like how would you measure how influential someone is there you go, it’s a hard one think about it.
Well, I’m thinking right now is like oh, okay, tell me more. What does that explain it to like a five-year-old saying, peace? How do you measure influence go wow? You might do something great right now, but not everyone can see it well. How would you measure your success if someone is okay, honey, mm-hmm? I know a lot of youtubers action, don’t make money, so those are the stupid utility you’re supposed to make money for, of course, I think about it like this there’s nothing wrong with money.
It’S just about how much time you’re dedicated. If you have all your money made from YouTube, your hashtag dedicated that’s your job, so I feel like people who are half-assing YouTube and don’t make money it’s because they don’t know they’re, not actually 100 % committed, which is not evil. I think people kind of tie grounds to hardly with money, so I mean like. Let me know: do you really want to quit your job and do you two full-time one, do if you’re starting small and you haven’t, made any money yet and like he’s being consistent or you’re trying to rescue like? Where did that? Please you what’s your goal to make money right in what yeah time it’s time holding you Matt’s, not enough time, not enough money to do what you want or not enough self-confidence.
/! It’S yourself holding back! This is what I would do. Peace, I’m going to help you out with your YouTube career when you’re, when you’re small, you do the following things: you just test a lot of shit you’re just going to try something and you’re trying to do what people want to do, which is make content. So what you first of all the first thing, this first step to be YouTube famous, is you need a frickin be like through the roof? Confident, if you like, talking to camera, make that like become just best friends, what’s going to happen? Is people only follow people that have what they want if you’re not confident enough, if you don’t show them that you are in love with this more than they aren’t they’re not going to follow you, I think too many people realize they’re scared about posting.
You literally, if you can’t, if you’re scared of posting a article, no one wants a fucking, follow you, because everyone in their own home just are is insecure. The reason why youtubers or success will succeed is because either they’re extremely confidant, camera and people kind of want that in you know kind of embedded in them. So they read you more. I think that’s what you need to start with start with a little bit of confidence.
This might mean taking a trip to the park and just kind of being real with yourself doing, a really full beat look to make you feel better whatever you start with yourself. First and then what I would do next is don’t give a shit and do my favorite technique called top ten of top ten. So this is something I haven’t cinema youtube yet, but what you can do right now? Peace go to your top ten favorite youtubers.
Go to their most popular articles, take ten of their most popular articles and recreate it in your own words. So then you have a hundred unlimited. You have a hundred unlimited articles that you know is proven and works. Okay, and what’s the problem with that? What’S going to help you’re going to you’re going to get sued, so something more like what are you afraid of with someone getting upset? No, no one gives a shit like no one.
You have to understand you’re, not copying, there’s a difference between okay, I think imitation is horrible, like copying their words or style, it’s horrible. What you can do is steal, there’s a book. Actually I want you to read it search steal like an artist. What it’s basically saying this book is saying: you want to steal like an artist which means you don’t take from one creator, you take from ten different creators and you just take the ones that you really like the pieces that works.
You don’t want to imitate anyone. Imitation is all flattery. I do agree with that. Just don’t take from one person take from multiple sources. That’S not stealing! That’S called interpretation, alright got it! Thank you love. Your piece have a good day. Hello, hey. This is JD on the a street show. What’S up? Okay, tell everybody what’s your name and where are you from I’m from LA cool? What’S up, how can I help you today? No, I had a quick question for you.
I am a sports journalist, particularly for the NBA. I wanted to know because a lot of my content and access piece – and it’s a lot of stuff like that games or events or practices and stuff and with the season over, feel like I’ve kind of hit a little bit of a wall, creating content, because there Just hasn’t been as much stuff to post. How do you keep that fresh when it’s kind of a drag ball right now with that with, like that’d, be a season over in LA on it, so you’re on 5,000 followers? What’S the outcome you really want to see from this like fucked off my head: I’d love to eventually be at like 50,000 200,000.
What do you think’s holding you back from getting to you? 50 100,000. I’M sure, like I think I posted contact cuz right now. A lot of your work is less it’s either you or the player. Have you had a piece of kana that to you guys together yeah, I posted some stuff, it’s a little further down, but like like an interview, because so this is what I think for you. I think you don’t have necessarily like OJ and I don’t know what to post like you do know what to post.
You know what gets likes. You know what people want to see. It sounds like to me: you just have a distribution problem. Do you think I’m onto something for apps yeah? No, you go. You go first over think I tend to overthink in general, but especially now it was posting. It has I’ve gotten more followers because I was around, like I probably had 700 like last summer, so I’ve gotten more followers. I got started overtake my captions and like when I ask a question.
I’Ve noticed that I get pretty good engagement and results of questions, but I don’t know if I should be asking a question on every post or like some post. I can’t really think of a question that would go with the photo, the one where I’m like, posing with the basketball yeah that couldn’t really think of a question for that. But I think for me, if it’s a distribution and on top of that, like oh, I mean what I what I think about when I put yourself maybe, but if I’m myself in your shoes, maybe it’s like oh shit, I’m the shit now and I got ta.
Look cool so like for that, when you feel like you’ve made it somewhere, I would just do the complete opposite and just tell yourself you did to help you have it on shit, a lot of people when they get too big or, like I don’t even fake When you just experience fast growth, it can ultimately kill you, because in your head, you’re getting complacent and a little bit less oh, I think you actually know what to ask and what people want to hear it’s more of a fact of how vulnerable are you test? Testing a lot of things because you have to realize you’re still in the very beginning stages right now, you can’t overthink.
You really can’t afford that, but your dreams are bigger, I’m assuming so maybe you need actually think about like this, like you’re, just starting who gives a fuck. If you don’t know what to caption it, you have a lot more to go. That’S the first thing. Second thing is once you get over yourself and you’re like okay, I haven’t done shit. This is just only the beginning and I don’t need to worry so much about what people think.
I would actually take some of your best work. You did the spreadsheet thing, which is fucking cool, and this kind of like do this like smart, to take a photo with someone that has your audience. For example, amigos! That’S huge! What I would do is just take that freaking photo of a really meaningful caption and describes you and what you do put that as a Facebook or Instagram ad and show it to only migos followers.
People who are fans of me goes, I am Telling You they are going to come by on your page, a big host shit, I’m also like, because I’m I know a lot of guys if you target lot of guys, they listen to me, goes they’re, probably also Into basketball, so you know what I mean like, I feel like what you should do is distribution is simple ads. It’S it’s literally. What five dollars a day you can app at in just take your best content that you think people would be super interested in which is probably a photo and then insert yourself into it and then get that distribution down, because you already know what to post.
I feel like if you just want more followers triads, it’s the most targeted and fastest way: okay, okay and then one last question yeah a lot of photos of myself. I don’t want it to just become all about me, like I kind of want to invite value. To my see my followers, how would you say going about balancing like inserting myself into to my posts versus I know providing that most of people come for the other stuff? I assume.
Let me give you example. There’S a reason. Why Will Smith Will Smith? The page like Will Smith’s Instagram is better than a Will Smith’s Instagram like there’s a reason, my quote: Instagram pages, don’t do as well as maybe the personal page. I don’t think, there’s anything wrong with incident yourself in it, and why do you think it’s wrong? I feel like personal touches. People want to see face-to-face interaction, just because you put a selfie in it, doesn’t make it invaluable the values in the caption, the photos, just entertainment.
I don’t think you should worry about that. Okay, okay, so you think it’s fine to post more photos of myself as long as I’m providing value in the caption, I think that’s, what’s best people kind of want to see you kind of in the mix. I think that’s what makes you if you wanted to start just a. I don’t know editor page without you that would that be different story, but this is your page. This is like your page right, so you need to add yourself into it.
Alright, I’m going to go ahead over the next call. Let me know if you ever need anything have a great day. Oh, this is the completed. Look, it’s actually currently. 4 p.M. I have an event at 6 p.M.

Social media is a perfect way to get your message out to the masses and increase your search rankings.
Speaking of search engines. Do you have a webmaster running your website? There are sweet website design packages that will build a strong digital presence for your business. Check out the video below to see how much you could pay for a great website management package.
I know from personal experience that I have g’day guys my name’s Ben, for a medieval mayhem on this blog. We do reviews into other companies equipment. We look at DIY furniture and equipment, we do articles about costuming and all sorts of reenactment, but we also look at the politics and the religions and the battles of the time.
So if you new here, you might like to consider subscribing recently, I was purchasing some equipment from a company in Australia called medieval Fight Club, I’m going to leave the link in the description below and one of the pieces of equipment that I bought. I was very, very impressed with is this piece here, and this is the Norman dagger by medieval Fight Club. I was looking for something that was suitable for my son.
I’D need it to be a dull blade, something that’s not really going to hurt. Anyone he’s just 10 years old, so I didn’t want anything that was too heavy too cumbersome and too unwieldy, and it also needed to be safe and well-made. I was nothing but impressed with this one. I took this out of the packaging. This is incredibly well-made. It’S it’s a really nice weight. It’S it’s very easy to use, though the quality of manufacturing is really superb and I’ve got nothing but praise for this, and it wasn’t that expensive.
I was super super impressed. This is a total of 41 centimeters long. The thickness of the blade is three millimeters and you can see it has a rounded tip, so it’s reenactment safe. This is not actually going to hurt people. Obviously you need to be quite conscious of what you’re doing, but still it’s really good. You can see the pommel either is a really nice norman shape. This would be from around the sort of 12 ish 13th century sort of mark.
You’Ve got a nice leather wrapped handle it’s really good. It’S a nice one-handed, blade, obviously being a being a dagger, but you can see a lot of fantasies out there on the market and it just looks rubbish. The nice cross guard here is well built. I, like it, it’s um, it’s not overly, so that exaggerated or anything this is nice and simple and very functional. You have a good, fuller here. That goes, probably you know 80 % of the blade.
The blade itself is 25 centimeters long, and the width of the blade is 35 millimeters, and this cost at the moment $ 55. I thought was incredibly good. This is a really good value for money. You’Ll find it comes with a bit of an oily kind of greasy finish to it, you’re going to need to clean that off, and it will require some maintenance through the year so just to keep just to keep a um any rust off it.
And that kind of thing, but this is really good. I really like this – I’m nothing but impressed it’s. This is such a really good piece of kit I’ll be buying some more and similar sorts of knives and daggers from this company, because I think the workmanship is so good and it’s definitely worth my time in my effort. So look. I think this is a really good, solid, 9 out of 10 and I’ve, and I’m going to be doing a DIY dagger sheath in the next few days.
So please keep an eye out for that article already guys, please like subscribe and share and I’ll catch you in my next article
I guess that’s the last time I can say that on this subject, but airplanes have always been a cornerstone of my identity, see here’s a picture of me as a kid. Here’S a picture of the first airplane that I built and flew in my yard and then here’s a picture of my bedroom after I’d started building RC airplanes to fly in the lot next to our house. And if you try really hard, I bet you could find some terribly cringy articles of me in my yard, flying RC airplanes in high school.
So when a friend of mine reached out and wanted me to build a gift box for his flight instructor, it really struck a chord. It’S been years since I sat in a cockpit, but I can’t wait to get back the past couple of years. I’Ve been distracting myself with other things in the name of maturity, more realistic goals, saving money or some other adult sounding thing, but I’m not going to let those things deter me anymore.
Life isn’t a dress rehearsal, it’s a live, show, there’s no do-overs, no what-ifs no repeats. I need to be back in the air where I belong, that’s how at least best I can figure I’m going to be motivated enough to work hard at my other goals. Now, you’re, probably thinking to yourself what does any of this have to do with woodworking? Hopefully, one day soon, this venture will bring in a lot of money and employ hundreds of people.
We could put food on their tables tables in their homes and funnel the excess profits and cash towards helping others, and I can mean the air again. I don’t want to buy a huge house. I don’t want everyone to know my name. I don’t want tons of exotic cars or a bunch of other crap. I just want to find a way to help other people, while scratching the itch on my soul, to be in the sky, so we’re leaving our jobs and moving to the south.
I know we’ve talked about it quite a bit, but here’s the real story on our current career paths. There’S no feasible way to chase the priorities I just outlined, or stick to our life mission of helping the most number of people possible. It’S time for a risk for a lot of reasons, mostly because we’re young enough to rebound if we fail, because those who we want to help are worth it, because our future employees and their families are worth it and honestly, because her sanity depends on it.
We can’t be employees anymore, at least not in the traditional sense. We just can’t breathe so in our new jobs. For a few months, every year, Jenny now will be flying in a research aircraft gathering storm data to help millions of people evacuate and prepare. In times of natural disaster, but more on that someday soon with the rest of our time, we’ll be trying to build this woodworking business that, hopefully one day provides hundreds of jobs to Americans who know the value of hard work.
Who want to see the smiling faces of a family sitting around a table that they built? Who don’t need to take out giant loans to learn enough to make a living and who will make a ton of money with which we can try to make the world a better place for everyone? We’Re so grateful for our experiences here in the great white north and at our first job. It’S been an amazing testing grounds to prepare us to do this at scale.
The people have been great too, but it’s time for us to go, and projects like this have come along the way to remind us that, with the right priorities and plenty of discipline and lots of hard work, we can have our cake and eat it too, or Whiskey or I guess airplane, if you’re thinking big picture, but you get the point. So that’s our story, that’s our next chapter of life. I know we’ve talked about it quite a bit, but that’s what’s going on with us.
That’S why we’re moving? That’S? Why we’re trying to learn sales is because everything that we want to do in life becomes unlocked by this woodworking business succeeding. I appreciate all of you for coming along for the ride and hitting that subscribe button if you’re new – and this is the first time you’re reading a article of ours – sorry, you kind of caught us in our feelings, but this is where we’re at in life.

We did not charge enough on this project. Originally I wasn’t going to do finger joints on the corners. I was just going to do, but joist with nails and glue. Then I just decided you know what hey we’re going to get this box joint jig eventually like this is a good project as any.
At this point, we had stopped taking more orders, so our free time was more plentiful and I I’m doing a lot of rationalization, but the bottom line is we didn’t charge enough? So if you use our normal pricing structure for materials, it was about three board feet of walnut, which is about $ 24 in my area and then miscellaneous glue and stuff. Like that five bucks, when you counter in the labor at $ 30 an hour, this box took six hours to put together, which is ridiculous.
All right now I counted time of assembling the box joint jig and getting it all set up and dialed in so now that it’s set, I don’t think it’ll take near six hours. This box is probably a two or three hour job. Now, if I were to do it again, so the total quote should have been $ 24 plus five dollars, miscellaneous expenses for materials and then $ 90. So what are we looking at there? So we’re looking at a total of 119 dollars just for labor and materials multiply that times 1.
4 to get our 40 % markup and we’re looking at a hundred and sixty six dollars. Yeah but probably would have shot for 175. Probably would have taken anything around 150 or over that, but in all honesty we only charged a hundred dollars back. When I thought this box was going to be a bunch of butt joints. I yeah. I just thought that that would have been a great price and it would have been, but because we use the Box joints and everything else, it really slowed us down.
I still think we could have gotten this under two hours. If I wasn’t doing the Box joints, especially if I already had some walnut that was milled up, I didn’t realize how dull my planer blades were, after the big rolling sliding barn door that we have just done before this. So I could have saved time on milling. It could have saved time on the box joints if I already had the jig set up so anyway.
All those reasons aside, we lost money on this project and that’s okay. I learned from it. I there’s a lot of really good things that we learned. We optimized a few things with the Box joint jig. We understood that hey, we need to change our planer blades after we do a really big job with really hard plywood. We learned that so, even though we’ve lost money, it’s still a really good experience for us.
Overall – and we would definitely take this job again – but we’d probably price it higher at like 150 175 – something like that yeah, that’s pretty much the breakdown on this one. Let me know what you think. I thought it turned out. Really nice theyed it’s by no means fine craftsmanship. He kind of wanted the client wanted it pretty rustic. You know it’s a whiskey box. It’S not supposed to be some like ornate, beautiful, like gold, inlay sort of like gift box.
This was just a hey there’s. Some shredded paper in here that’s pretty cool. Let’S make it rustic and it’ll set up on a shelf and yeah it’s a really cool project so anyway, other than that, thanks for reading the article please hit the like button.

Are you looking for a Website management agency? Look no further.
But if you do the right thing, the deep web is nothing more than just another browser that allows you to have full access to the Internet. Now, if you don’t know what the Deep Web is or the dark web, I will be explaining that before I hop into this just so, you guys are perfectly clear on just the the situation that we are at right here.
So, first of all, the Deep Web is not as bad as people claimed it to be. Yes, there is a lot of things on there and yes, the dark web is on the Deep Web, it’s a part of it and it can be a little sketchy at time. So I will go ahead and say: if you are running Windows, I think I would take additional security precautions, but if you’re on Mac or Linux, I think you might be fine, there’s also other operating systems out there and really, if you haven’t heard of it, and Maybe you’ve: ok, if you are the only person that really knows about it, that you know of you might be good unless it’s some ranky thig that someone just made it just handed to you, but usually those types of operating systems are very secure too, because not A lot of people know about them and they’re safe.
So let’s get into this article we’re going on the Deep Web. I hope I don’t go on the dark web, so I’m going to be using tor browser. That seems to be one of the most popular accesses to the Deep Web, and this is nothing more than just a web browser. It’S Firefox based and basically what this does is allows you to have pretty much a non traceable IP, although there is really no such thing on the Internet.
I think it’s kind of funny how, even if you have so many different security precautions, there is someone out there always better than you and can definitely track you back know where you live know what’s happening, so there’s no very secure way. There’S no such thing as complete security when you are accessing the Internet, the only way that you’re really secure is to buy a computer and never connect it to the internet.
Just have a computer that is internet free, that is the most secure and then physical security becomes a problem. So just know that even if you’re running all these different IP switchers you’ve got, you got all these different programs running you’re, never completely secure. So I don’t fall for a false sense of security, but let’s get into the Deep Web, so we’re going to be seeing things that are real, there’s, there’s real drugs, hitmen prostitution.
You can buy your bride from Russia here and I think the best place to go whenever you get to our browser is hidden wiki, so we’re just going to go to a hidden, wiki uh, what I’ll always hit enter. I always hit enter on this. This laptop sometime, I’m not answer but equals on this laptop, sometimes instead of instead of backspace, the backspace button is a little bit too small, I’m on a MacBook Pro – and I know you guys are going to going to going to torch me for that one.
But let’s take a look at this: you know what we’re going to go full screen, so you can get that good, full screen action so where’s this is hidden wiki and I think actually there are the. This might not be the correct, hidden, wiki we’re going to look again. I think, there’s tons of them, but we are the. When did we kita onion dot onion? I love that a lot of these websites are going to be dot onion that we see today.
This is the hidden wicket or see how many different hidden wikis. There are there’s one that I’m looking for in particular, so saw. Oh, this is just a wake up. Eat is just going to the hidden. Wiki org BAM this one’s that right here and, as you can see yeah, this is what I’m looking for. It is type of kind of slow because there actually are security options that I have installed on this. I have my security up like I said it is a false sense of security, so don’t fall for it, but he going to be checking this out.
So here’s just this website is really popular because it just has a ton of links to different places on the Deep Web and some on the dark web. So let’s take a look at these DuckDuckGo search engine. This is just a search engine that does not trace you, so that’s that’s pretty good and also for if you’re wondering, if you have a laptop, you can take it to school and maybe YouTube’s blocked or Netflix’s Brahe blocked, and you know maybe you’ve tried some proxies And then your school blocks them again.
The hidden wiki is actually a very good way to get around that or not the hidden wiki tor browser is a very good way to get around that. I think this right here is going to this kind of shows you your settings. I hope I’m that show and get a valuable information. I’Ll look I’ll, look again just to see whenever I record this article. So, let’s, let’s go down this list here we have uncensored, hidden wiki, that’s interesting! We’Re going to be opening up some of these, some of the sketchy or one so like I said, there’s a disclaimer and make sure you I you’re of age, or you think that you are of age marketplace: financial, Bitcoin, laundry, bitcoins and I you know bitcoins there They’Re good they used to be better and then the big boom came and then they don’t cost as much anymore.
You can’t mine them as well anymore, so bitcoins buy them, but buyer! Beware: it actually is a pretty good way of stock. It’S a little bit of a gamble. Whenever you buy project evil, we got ta go to the hair. I’Ve never seen anything like this before project evil. What is it 1 million dollars we’re going to let this load for a little bit and we’re going to go back down like it said it’s going to be slow, because I have this security up, we’re changing that IP out we’re doing.
I have some other stuff running in the background to tour girls. They don’t go to this website, guys, don’t do it UK guns and ammo. Let’S, let’s look at some UK guns and ammo we’re going to have these things loading up here. I guess I’ve just got these up and we’ll go back through them whenever um, whenever we get to a good stopping place and we’ll look at them, Hitman Network, you know we’re going there hackintosh pretty sure, that’s just a cantata.
I don’t think, there’s anything also if you’re on here and you you’re thinking about downloading something, don’t do it don’t do it guys, don’t don’t download it, and I know I’m like it’s not as bad in the place as you claim it to be. It’S just another browser. It really is it’s just another browser that has unindexed items on it and there’s some sketchy, let’s ooh us fake ID store. So a lot of people have the misconception that it is illegal to be on this, that I’m doing something bad right here.
You I’m not guys trust me. It is okay to look, but you can’t touch and really you can’t buy. I think that’s the biggest thing. If you’re caught buying, then that’s pretty bad, but because this is so immense and it’s just it’s it’s it’s here, you’re not likely to get caught, but I’m not telling you to do it. But if you’re going to do it like this is the place to do it because it’s the Internet, I’m just full of bad advice.
Let’S keep looking through these and we’re going to go through those. I see some of these probably won’t load that that that means. Okay, I know people are going to want to see some trucks these are going to. Would you see some drugs so will be that we had German wheat and hash shop? Bitcoin cocaine, I’m laughing, but this is serious guy. This is serious. Oh black market. We’Re definitely going to want to go there.
My laptop it’s overheating, it’s overheating. I got it on my bed right now and it’s it’s probably that got ta Eddie, breathing room and also, if you’re still here, and how long have I been recording. I don’t know I don’t know, I don’t have to figure that out if you’re still here one. Let me know I always do this um. Let me know, and also, if there’s anything that you know of on the deep web that you would like to see.
But you are a little bit scared to do. Let me know down below and I’ll make another article for this dark, like my soul, okay, okay well, will will visit that will visit that one. Let’S see here, Twitter, clone hacking and cracking form. Let’S take a look at that file: sharing ye do that anonymous, email service. I think this one is actually pretty legit. I think that’s if that is the one I’m thinking of that’s that’s actually pretty legit, but we’re going to keep going New York strongbox.

So let’s see for North Carolina what it’s going to cost me South Carolina.

What we need from your date of birth, uh-huh – oh it’s! So they can get to your age, but isn’t the like purpose is to have a different age like, or maybe you tell them that you tell him what you want? What is your name? What are you? What do you want your name to be? How tall do you want to be? I mean everything’s fake.

This has to be here. For a reason, not some guys, like.
Oh man, I really want a fake ID saying: go to the liquor store, just oh I’ll, just open up a webcam take picture. It’S just getting like he’s like what a license to do with this. I guarantee you. He took that guys. Yeah did not send it back and it shouldn’t be talking bad about these people’s sight. People’S drugstore, Oh hero, comes direct from the importer with no middleman. We do not cut our product whatsoever.
This is good. What’S the difference between number three and four heroin? What ten US dollars? Are you? Okay? That’S four syringes! Oh my gosh! This is like you know. I laugh, but I guarantee this. This store has definitely gotten some business and I don’t know if that’s woods your to ship uh, let’s see here, a poet, keep walk about the shop and her five percent every purchase. They will make okay, guys, I’m telling you all about this site.

Let’S look for a good one, rare earth, minerals, China, I don’t! I want to start a secret society.
Let’S, let’s take a look at this one. I really do what. Where does this begin? Oh good, okay! Well, that was boring egg. I skimmed over it. Before I read it. I don’t want to read anything out loud and I kind of don’t want to laugh like these people are here and I, like I know these websites. These are the type of people that like, or maybe I don’t know, I’m just guessing like. Oh, oh UFO, UFO, an extra literally.
This is what I want to define. This is this. Is I found ie accident? All I see here is Internet Explorer. Let’S see, let’s see, okay, we’re going to go down to the bottom. We okay, many believe, is real and showing either the grave for 47 or another one for projects SERP II. Oh, this is a documentary about the articles authentic. What I want to hear like these people talk about when they were abducted.
Well, these people are, I guess, they’re very serious. I want to know when they I wanted. I wan na hear some stories. You know what I mean like this is not really I get area 51 guys. I fully admit this has no evidence. This is my own belief on the matter, as all of you are okay, I’ll read this one there’s only if you aware area 51 is the designation for a facility Nevada according to its conspiracy, that is where the United States government works on developing technology obtained, but Extraterrestrials and – and he capitalized the II – that’s a proper now guy.
What I believe is the government does not in fact carry out any testing of that sort. Come on. This is supposed to be fun. Okay, I’ll keep reading in fact carry out any testing of sort at Groom Lake. We just remember the government is not filled with stupid people. Why would they test alien technology where people can see it but deny it? They know people are not stupid, so why do instead? It is what they want us to see what okay wait.
Instead, it is what they want us to see. If we expect to see something – and it’s there when I look closer area 51 – is just a show – pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. If you will is in my belief that area 51, regardless of its original intent, is now nothing more than a tourist attraction, the real testing, the real testing goes on somewhere else. Where I’m not sure, let’s see you, let’s see um, let’s see what else dreamland is pretty well known for people to like.
I want to see some aliens like. I want to see someone in their backyard. Like I kill the green dude. I don’t want to read about it. You know like hmm, interesting, oh, why am I going back? I shan’t? Oh, I should have went back. Okay, okay, Harry Potter, okay, this is that was a bad okay. Here we go guys here. We go UK guns and ammo store. Let’S see what we can get our hands on today. This Is It. This is it.
What is this? We need to uh. Let’S, let’s go back out to the top. I saw something uncensored head and vici. Let’S see what we have here: oh, oh, okay, editors, picks the matrix, are very nice, read a short, simple, how-to guide and honest great tips. I want to see some like some good things: um Rosella, blahblah source target markets and more we’re not seeing anything here: honey for female carting form, counterfeit coin, wallet, fishing, paypal, man, it’s it’s a bomber that some of those websites did not work, especially the physical credit Cards: okay, we, let’s, let’s take a look at this, can you you can buy credit cards online like this is definitely just just some bank.
What do you want? So it’s like. What do you want? Visa prices? Listen, let’s take a look at a price. We have the best to get our price list. Please contact us. Let’S look at their products, I guess credit card balances from this. Is Sam man. You call this a website, I’m disappointed, I’m disappointed and you know you know. You’Re, low-priced Apple products, uh-oh might have found way, I’m going to make a purchase on the head and always said ahead, vici, okay, let’s shop, I guess I’ll see what they got.
Okay. This is something that I’m I’m actually looking for an iMac iMac. Let’S take a look at iMac, see what they got prices for ooh. This actually is a pretty good foot. You know. Sometimes it makes me wonder if I make twenty seven inch. This is still a pretty high price. I mean gosh. Look at all. I don’t! I don’t understand, let’s see what we have here, I want to see if this is the 5k iMac? No, it’s not.
We have this sham. What a sham website what’s factory unlocked iPhones fixed football games info okay. This is a big thing that I’ve heard of before. Like apparently like football is so like American football is so fixed, it’s it’s just not even funny. We have information on fixed football games every week inside information, I’ve able to sell. They are not a tip, they are 100 percent accurate. This just sounds like a sketch.
They are a hundred percent, accurate, huge profits to be made online for betting government. Like here’s the thing if this was 100 sent a curate, this guy would not need a website trying to make money. You would have all the money you just keep betting on games. He would win frequently asked questions. I can recommend good ones where the that blah blah blah blah. Look. This that’s boring – and this is this – is soccer money we’re talking about American football, camouflage, passports, hacking, DDoS, social engineering, espionage, malware development, I’m going to stay off website.
I think we’re coming to an end here, yeah. This is just kind of like version one. I guess um of the article like I said: if there’s anything that you guys know of that, you want me to go. Please leave links down below or I’m trying to look through here. America is a joke, a site that distributes cat facts: okay, um, I’m I’m thinking this is this is uh actually we’re about half with drugs. We call list the drugs is the way you guys go.

Here, hidden services, peer-to-peer, that’s sketchy! You! Don’T you this chats, some IR, C’s yeah! It’S it’s looking like. We are we’re at dead, dead, hidden services, so we’re at rock bottom here hope you guys enjoyed this article.
I know there wasn’t a ton of good information here. Actually there was there was some pretty good information. You guys, you guys got to got to see some stuff but hope you guys enjoyed this article like I said, if there’s anything that you want me to look up on the deep web, let me know down below and I’ll try to make a part 2.
