[00:02:58] This one's rather than get cleaner and cleaner

[00:03:05] That's funny I specifically put BS in there

[00:03:08] I feel like it was a BS degree

[00:03:13] That's kind of how I feel about mine. I've never used it, you know

[00:03:19] It was a great experience. Oh, yeah, I mean, I'm grateful. Yeah, I'm grateful for the experience

[00:03:24] I learned a ton

[00:03:26] But it kept me here in the States which is pretty huge, you know pretty important

[00:03:33] So some background obviously like you didn't steal $25,000 from us

[00:03:36] But I remember like that big moment for us was the transition to like a full-time entrepreneurs and really our first big investment

[00:03:44] And I remember very clearly you we were on an event like where you know, you were working at your

[00:03:51] Can we say it?

[00:03:53] Yeah, you worked with Steve Larson who then became like our first I guess coach and you were his right hand man

[00:04:00] And I remember like they put in the offer for the mastermind and I was like well fun

[00:04:05] Yeah, what do you think it is like 5k, you know 7k well it turned out it was $25,000 and

[00:04:11] There was a big timer in there

[00:04:13] And you know we run like hey guys go run to the back of the room like this big dude

[00:04:17] It's gonna give you the the paperwork to fill out and I remember it was like a minute left

[00:04:23] And we're like sprinting finally get the paper and I was like dude. I talked to you Mike

[00:04:27] I want to do this but we don't have $25,000

[00:04:32] Today like I cannot pay this like that was like half of the money that I had in the bank account

[00:04:36] I came from personal loans, and I'm like I cannot do this. I would die my wife will kill me and

[00:04:42] And you were like don't worry dude

[00:04:44] We will figure it out you got my word and that you you made that situation the way less stressful

[00:04:51] And we ended up striking a deal on how we're gonna pay that thing with you guys

[00:04:56] And that pretty much was a kick start off everything nowadays right the content is profit the agency now studio podcast

[00:05:04] So it's here in Jacksonville, Florida. So I think this is the first time that we actually say thank you to you for that

[00:05:11] We're taking our money. Thank you for taking our money

[00:05:20] I love that story about you guys like that's even something might tell people

[00:05:24] Like these guys came they were like last kind of ditch effort

[00:05:28] We're gonna jump in and get running and then you guys made it happen and that was that was huge. So that's what I like to see

[00:05:34] That's the best yeah, so last time we cover a little bit of your story a little bit of you know

[00:05:39] What you were doing there with Steve, but you know you decided to go your own way

[00:05:44] You know spread your wings, you know fully

[00:05:47] evolving to the best Colton that you can be and

[00:05:50] And you know for a little bit there. I didn't hear about you. I was like, oh, I wonder what this guy's doing

[00:05:56] You know, I'm sure maybe he's probably in the woods hunting some wolves or something like that

[00:05:59] Yeah, we're building stuff because you know you are that type of guy that type of badass and

[00:06:05] You know all of a sudden I start seeing your post on Instagram

[00:06:09] About a very specific venture that you

[00:06:14] Started somewhat recently I believe

[00:06:16] And it really caught my attention. I was like wow, this is very interesting

[00:06:20] I've never seen anybody marketing this type of product. I never seen anybody earning

[00:06:25] You know the type of money that he's earning

[00:06:29] Doing this

[00:06:31] Somewhat simple activity seems like and he really come out that's like dude

[00:06:35] We gotta get you back on the pod first

[00:06:37] Obviously, we got a ketchup at friends and whatnot

[00:06:39] But also we would love to hear and for you to present this opportunity

[00:06:43] For the people that are listening here today before you go into that this is this this is the setup so

[00:06:49] Me I might what we've been together for 11 years. She's never showed an interest in entrepreneurship at all

[00:06:54] she's like you do your thing right whatever like I support you but I don't want to deal with it and

[00:06:59] Yeah, when I showed her what you were doing

[00:07:02] It was the first time that I saw a spark in her eye and she's like that's actually something

[00:07:08] I want to go do the first time in 11 years that she shows some entrepreneurial like love and is with your thing

[00:07:16] So for those listening

[00:07:19] Yes, a hundred percent. She's like this is actually something that I see myself doing so like just like here

[00:07:25] I'm sure there's a lot of people are listening to the show today or watching that are very excited to

[00:07:29] For the opportunity

[00:07:36] What what is this we're talking about

[00:07:38] Well, thank you guys. Thanks for the intro. Thanks for yeah getting me started and I'm excited to go through this now

[00:07:43] That's funny your wife actually and I love the water bottle red

[00:07:49] Is that is that that's not one of the

[00:07:53] No, I still have one that I want to preserve because the other three are

[00:07:58] Destroyed by my kids and me using them so we have it like in the bookshelf the capitals pig

[00:08:09] You are the blue

[00:08:14] It's okay, I called tonight keep going keep going. Yeah, no, sorry. I sidetracked myself. That's my bad

[00:08:22] Now that's funny you say that about your wife because this is literally the first time my wife has actually gotten into it as well

[00:08:28] Which is kind of crazy. So yeah, I mean

[00:08:32] We've been together for ten eleven years now probably same amount of time you guys have been honestly. Yeah

[00:08:37] and

[00:08:38] Crazy story and I think I've shared this on I don't think I shared on the last time we were on here

[00:08:43] But crazy story like back in college me my wife or newly wear it newly married

[00:08:50] if I can say that right and

[00:08:52] I was like babe. I want to start my own thing

[00:08:55] I want to I want to like do my own business, you know, and she was like heck no

[00:09:01] You

[00:09:02] Never do that like you need to go to college. You need to finish college

[00:09:06] You need to get a job and you're gonna you're just gonna work that job until you're 80 and die and that's gonna be it

[00:09:13] And so me I'm like oh crap this is not gonna be good, you know

[00:09:17] Anyway, so I started fixing phones on the side

[00:09:20] just because right and

[00:09:23] One morning we woke up. We're laying in bed at Saturday morning and my wife's like we need to go get groceries

[00:09:29] And we have like no money right because we're just poor college kids have nothing and

[00:09:35] Like as we're talking about it literally my phone chimed

[00:09:39] And I made a cell on eBay. I sold the phone that I'd fixed and it was like 400 bucks or something

[00:09:45] You know, I was like oh man

[00:09:46] I just made some cash and so like I showed her and that was the first time she ever had some light of like

[00:09:51] Oh my goodness, that's really cool. Yeah keep doing it

[00:09:53] But she was not interested in doing anything else other than me doing everything on there

[00:09:59] Certifications you're like dinner's on me, baby

[00:10:03] Let's go get some food

[00:10:07] Get some good stuff, you know

[00:10:09] Yeah, so that was kind of the beginning of my entrepreneurship was starting there and then it's evolved over the years, you know

[00:10:15] yeah, and

[00:10:17] And really anytime like she'll ask me like okay

[00:10:21] My friends are asking me what you do and they have no idea and I don't know how to explain it to them

[00:10:27] So can you like explain it to me and every time she's like nah, just forget it like

[00:10:34] And then and then I got into this this Amazon thing and I was like okay

[00:10:38] This is kind of what I'm doing. I showed her and she was like wow that makes total sense

[00:10:43] Can I help you and I was like I just by the way let me clarify for those that are about to like hit stop and listening

[00:10:49] Is not dropshipping

[00:10:51] Yeah

[00:10:57] He's not dropshipping

[00:10:59] FBA I guess for filming by Amazon. I don't know that qualifies as drop shipping, but he's neither of those yes

[00:11:07] You've probably never heard about this about Amazon ever before trust me

[00:11:11] Not driving the truck

[00:11:17] No, no like thank you for catching that cuz a lot of people are like oh drop shipping here comes

[00:11:26] This is the craziest thing I've seen and let me tell let me give some backstory on why I think it's pretty crazy

[00:11:32] You guys know me. I've seen a lot of businesses

[00:11:34] I've seen a lot of different models and ways that you can make money online, right? There's a million of them

[00:11:40] Million different ways you make money online

[00:11:43] one of the most popular ones is probably affiliate marketing and even then it's

[00:11:47] It's not the easiest thing to do you definitely have to build it do some content

[00:11:52] building email lists and do all that stuff and

[00:11:55] then

[00:11:57] really so

[00:11:58] For me like I have a hard time

[00:12:01] Really pushing something

[00:12:03] To anybody and everybody that doesn't work for anybody and everybody

[00:12:08] Like that's that's something I've seen all these different business models like it's hard for me to say okay

[00:12:13] I'm just gonna talk about funnels and and and building funnels and how to do high ticket stuff all day long and sales

[00:12:19] Whatever may be

[00:12:20] Doesn't not everybody even knows what a funnel is but not everybody even can build a site like that's a lot of technical stuff, right?

[00:12:28] So when I saw this opportunity, I was like this is completely different than anything I've seen and

[00:12:35] Nobody you don't have to build a site. You don't have to build an email list. You don't have to go do a bunch of like

[00:12:43] Podcasts or any like you don't have to do any of that stuff. It's crazy

[00:12:48] And so I knew it was gonna be an opportunity, but it's also with that kind of entry

[00:12:53] You got to get it

[00:12:54] You got to get started now right because it's gonna the floodgates are gonna open people are gonna come in

[00:12:59] Right, so the the quicker you get started on it the quicker you lock in your position and get running

[00:13:04] And it's not MLM that sounded like an MLM

[00:13:13] That's funny actually had so many comment on my reel and they're like, yeah, I don't want to have to recruit people and I'm like

[00:13:21] Yeah, I mean I think they got it from old stuff, you know Steve

[00:13:28] So it's like okay that makes sense, but definitely not that

[00:13:31] So check this out you literally make a video one time and it continues to pay you off that one video

[00:13:40] Now that's that's a huge that's a huge jump like that sounds you guys

[00:13:45] That's juicy, right? Yes. So imagine like you made one YouTube video

[00:13:50] And it made you could make you a thousand dollars a year just on that one video

[00:13:56] Like that's that's not really doable on YouTube unless you do one every day for years

[00:14:02] Yeah, or you have a system on the back end that sells stuff that you might develop or whatever like there's so many other pieces

[00:14:09] Right that we have to keep an account

[00:14:11] Yeah, totally. So you got to do a super high quality video

[00:14:15] It's got to be catchy. It's got to get people running or wanting to watch it share it watch the whole thing YouTube says

[00:14:22] Oh, these people are interested in it

[00:14:23] I'm gonna show it to more people and then you got a game the algorithm all that kind of stuff, right?

[00:14:28] So it's actually none of that. It's it's literally like a 30-second video that you can take on your phone

[00:14:35] Without editing anything and just uploading that that single video

[00:14:40] 30 seconds to a couple minutes maybe like it just depends so it's super super short videos

[00:14:45] And then you don't have to actually email anybody you don't have to get an email list

[00:14:50] You literally just take that video upload it and then you continue to make money from that video as long as the product is live on Amazon

[00:14:58] Like I don't know if you just heard what I said, but that is insane nothing like there's nothing like that out there

[00:15:12] That's what I try to explain to people is like I have my iPad, but I'll forgo all that but

[00:15:19] Literally so Amazon came out with the Amazon influencer program and all it is is Amazon knows that hey when somebody comes in and they're looking at a product on

[00:15:28] Amazon and they scroll down and they're looking at the reviews and they see a review video

[00:15:34] And they watch that

[00:15:36] They actually get a lot of questions answered through that video by seeing what it's actually like in real life, you know

[00:15:43] And so the buying rate goes up

[00:15:46] Meaning they have they can spend less on ads and get more return because they're yeah, you know

[00:15:52] They're click-through rate or they're buy their purchase rate just goes up from that

[00:15:56] So what they're looking for is people to come on

[00:16:00] Show the actual product in your house do a quick little video

[00:16:04] And then and then upload it to Amazon and then when people are shopping for it

[00:16:09] They're gonna see that and you're gonna close them on the video because it's just a super simple thing

[00:16:13] But like how about you guys when you go on Amazon? You already know what you want to go by

[00:16:19] Yeah, well like you already know right but like sometimes you have a question like I don't know like is

[00:16:25] How big is this thing actually like in real life? Yeah, does it really work? Like is it super loud like I don't know

[00:16:30] Yeah, yeah

[00:16:33] I do watch some of those videos. I do watch some of the review videos

[00:16:36] I like sometimes to look at the customer support

[00:16:39] I will say I think most of the time I do the yet the one

[00:16:44] the couple things that I binded that I don't look at that is

[00:16:48] toothpaste

[00:16:49] And and the books and when I go to a book. I don't really see too much of their of the like

[00:16:55] Reviews on what people are saying about the book. I just go and buy it

[00:16:58] But everything else I usually probably go watch some reviews about it

[00:17:01] Here's a good example

[00:17:03] I mean the one of the biggest thing that I did last last year on Amazon was I bought like at this

[00:17:08] Vest like a weighted vest and I was looking for a very specific type one. There's like it is not it's not bulky

[00:17:14] I wanted like something that was like a little bit slimmer right and had like these plates

[00:17:18] And there was like five different options and then what made me choose the one I chose was the videos, right?

[00:17:23] It's like I looked at all them I saw the videos how they were using them because sometimes like the pictures can be a little deceiving

[00:17:29] Right, you're like, this is actually Photoshopped and you know and you know trust

[00:17:34] The the media sometimes but I saw I saw the videos and I'm like, wow

[00:17:37] That's actually looks and feels how I wanted to look and feel and that's what helped me make the purchase

[00:17:43] Yeah, so I mean it's completely different than going into the store, right? Like you can't on Amazon

[00:17:48] You can't go look at it. You know, so there's that that huge part. Sorry Fonzie

[00:17:52] No, no, I was just gonna say so to recap here real quick

[00:17:54] What we got so far for those listening is the Amazon influencer program which pretty much is you're reviewing

[00:18:01] The products and then when people are gonna buy they check the video

[00:18:06] And if they do watch your video part of your video and we don't have the technical aspect of it yet

[00:18:12] We don't really know how much of the video they got to watch

[00:18:14] But let's say they just click and watch one second then and then they buy the product

[00:18:19] You get a commission from that and that means you can what you can you know, do the videos from your phone

[00:18:26] 32nd videos, you don't need to edit you don't need websites the traffic is already there

[00:18:31] You don't need to drive traffic because again Amazon obviously has loads of traffic. So

[00:18:37] I'm curious on a few things right it might be

[00:18:41] I know I want to obviously first of all direct people to you if they want to learn more about this

[00:18:47] Reach out to Colton

[00:18:49] He actually now has a little program

[00:18:51] I think that he's sharing with people where you can sign up and you can learn exactly how he's been doing this so

[00:18:57] Actually before getting technical share with us some of the results that you've gotten doing this

[00:19:02] Maybe I'm curious to see it know how many reviews have you done?

[00:19:06] What is the time frame that you spend doing this right if you want to share how much have you made so far doing this

[00:19:14] Yeah, so that's great. Let me get into that a little bit more

[00:19:17] Now this is this is what's kind of crazy about us. So it's not like

[00:19:21] I'm not gonna say this is complete life-changing money

[00:19:23] Especially right in the beginning because it is something you got to build and I'm not gonna say you've got to do

[00:19:30] You got to keep doing it all day every day in order to make this work. That's the beauty of this

[00:19:34] So it's like I did a lot of videos kind of a few months in and then I did another batch of videos

[00:19:41] A few months after that. So I started in March of last year. So almost almost a year ago now

[00:19:48] Yeah, I got approved in March. So it takes you have to technically get approved but I put up like

[00:19:55] 50 videos and I

[00:19:57] Not even that I mean I started with a three videos and then I put up

[00:20:01] 15 more ish and I was like I already started seeing some money come in like this is this is kind of crazy actually because

[00:20:09] Like I don't have to run any traffic like I just did a video and it's making some commissions

[00:20:13] It's really weird. So like I'm gonna go crazy with this and just see how it does

[00:20:16] So what I literally did is I set up a desk in my garage

[00:20:21] And just pulled anything and everything I could see that was on Amazon because you don't have to buy it off of Amazon

[00:20:28] It's literally if you bought it ten years ago

[00:20:31] Yeah, it's just the product if it's listed on Amazon. You can do a video on it

[00:20:36] I was like I was just I just grabbed anything. I literally did 150 videos in a weekend. Wow

[00:20:42] Yeah, because they're so easy like the simplest videos you can do, you know

[00:20:48] And so I did like 150 videos in a weekend of just these

[00:20:52] Literally every video was the same. I'm sitting at my desk

[00:20:55] I just had my phone on a on a tripod with a ring light that I did have and just I just hit record

[00:21:02] Talked about the product hit and and that was the end of the video, right?

[00:21:06] So you can do a lot of videos if you're just hitting record and talking and then ending it, right?

[00:21:10] Yeah, so 150 videos later. I made I made like 2700 bucks my third month in

[00:21:18] And I was like wow

[00:21:21] That's that's kind of crazy that just on my third month. So my first month I made

[00:21:26] It was like five or six hundred bucks

[00:21:29] And then I made like 1500 and then I made 2700

[00:21:33] and then

[00:21:35] Yeah, anyway

[00:21:37] That's amazing that could be life-changing money for a lot of people just so you know, I'm I'm I'm I'll tell you my plan

[00:21:43] Here's my plan. Here's my plan

[00:21:45] I'm gonna follow. I'm a believer that you know successfully. It's clues. So I'm a follow your process

[00:21:51] I'm I'll do all this and I'm gonna build an incredible bankroll for my poker game

[00:21:58] Go grab that money and I'm gonna go play some poker and

[00:22:02] I've been looking for ways to increase my bankroll significantly. I think this is a good way right here

[00:22:13] Yeah, this claimer do not do that. I'm not saying that you know, you're gonna get those results or whatever

[00:22:22] That's so cool. I actually just wanted to verify that so I'm sorry

[00:22:27] I lied it was five months in that I made my 2700

[00:22:30] It's still amazing. I just wanted to bear I thought a few months in but yes

[00:22:37] That's that's pretty good money and I mean even now and I'll be completely honest

[00:22:42] Amazon changed up an algorithm and it did go down and but then I put some more videos up and it came back up

[00:22:48] You know so different things obviously Amazon's gonna it was brand new they're they're moving around, but they've got it pretty set now

[00:22:56] And then I mean last month. I mean, I think it was like a

[00:23:01] Couple grand and then 2,500 before that so like it's it's good money, but you just got to do the videos

[00:23:07] That's really all it is. Yeah, all right. Let me ask you this you said in the that first week

[00:23:12] And you did 150 videos obviously that's a lot, right?

[00:23:17] Yeah, well first thought is I'm gonna start borrowing all my friends things that they bought

[00:23:22] Yeah, I'm gonna go to their house and be like, oh can I borrow that for a weekend?

[00:23:26] And I'm just gonna record videos of everything but after that

[00:23:31] What has been the volume of videos that you have been creating? Let's say on a month-to-month basis on average

[00:23:39] Yeah, no, that's a great question. So I say you can get two or three videos done in a night very fast

[00:23:46] So if you want to take it easy and just start building it

[00:23:50] I highly suggest you just do some videos and if you can batch some great

[00:23:55] But two or three videos a night is pretty easy and you can I mean in the beginning

[00:24:01] I didn't do any thumbnails or anything. I literally just uploaded the video so you can

[00:24:06] You can literally just do that or you can put a little bit like, you know, like canva grab canva

[00:24:11] Do it I I make it as easy as possible

[00:24:14] I screenshot a part or part in the video where I'm like pointing at something or that looks interesting just to kind of give a

[00:24:20] Little bit of curiosity when I take the time to do it

[00:24:24] Thumbnail now, you know and

[00:24:27] And then I just put like a red arrow to something random on the product so that it's really curious

[00:24:32] You know, like what is this point to you know? Yeah, so I can get people to click on a little bit more and then

[00:24:38] You just upload the video you find the product you attach it to that product

[00:24:43] And then you put the upload the thumbnail and submit it and you're done

[00:24:47] So two to three videos is pretty simple to get done every day. Yeah, I did do another batch of videos

[00:24:55] I did a hundred eighty five in another weekend

[00:24:59] Just got in my kitchen table and just ran just picked random stuff because literally

[00:25:04] You'll be shocked you'll think literally when I started I was like there's probably a hundred items in my house that are on Amazon

[00:25:11] I can't do you

[00:25:13] Has been bought from Amazon

[00:25:15] They delivered the house from

[00:25:19] Just plays a house in there. Yeah

[00:25:22] Yeah, honestly with all the kids they could the kids toys

[00:25:27] That's probably a lot of it in Amazon so

[00:25:29] Even the little parts and pieces of things so I thought it was only gonna be a hundred no

[00:25:34] I'm five hundred videos in wow, and I still haven't really even touched

[00:25:39] Everything and I don't my wife is very minimalist. I don't have a ton of stuff in my house either

[00:25:45] Yeah, which is funny. So for me to find 500 different things. Yeah

[00:25:51] Have you started going to your friend's house and like picking their stuff and they're like, well, why am I missing this thing?

[00:25:56] And you're like, oh

[00:25:59] You know

[00:26:00] You know, it's funny is actually my brother

[00:26:03] He was like right when I started. He's like, hey, I just bought this electric charger for my truck

[00:26:09] That's like on Amazon. You know, I just bought off Amazon to charge my truck faster because he got one of those four light means

[00:26:15] You know, yeah, I was like bro. Just send me a video on it real quick

[00:26:19] And so he recorded a video of it and like was talking about how he installed it

[00:26:24] Yeah uploaded it to Amazon have made 350 bucks off of that video

[00:26:29] That's awesome. Like thanks, bro

[00:26:36] And that's here's so here's how it breaks down just so you know

[00:26:41] What when somebody watches your video if

[00:26:46] Essentially the way Amazon does it is if you're the last one the last video they watch and then they buy you get the commission

[00:26:54] So if somebody watches your video and then moves on to the next video, you're not really gonna get the commission

[00:26:59] So you want to make sure you do something and that's where I fell then a lot of my videos is I just did the most

[00:27:05] Simplest version of the video I could one because I really wanted to know how like quick I could do a video and see if it would still perform

[00:27:14] And then like obviously I do videos a bit better than I used to now

[00:27:20] But really it's it's so if Amazon or if you're the last one they watch on Amazon

[00:27:25] And then they buy it you get the you get the commission

[00:27:28] But what's cool about that too is is if they add it to the cart and

[00:27:31] There's other things in the cart and they buy everything together you get commission on everything. Oh wow

[00:27:38] Yeah

[00:27:40] And then there's suggested videos for suggested products

[00:27:45] So any related product if your video is good, it's gonna pop up on that one too

[00:27:50] So you're getting money off of other products that you didn't even review or half

[00:27:55] It spreads pretty wide at that point. Yeah, so the better you can do videos and I wouldn't

[00:28:01] Some videos don't perform others do so I wouldn't take a ton of time

[00:28:06] Doing a great video every time because you don't know if it's gonna perform very well or not

[00:28:11] Anyway, just because of the the placements on Amazon

[00:28:14] I think so I say throw a bunch of videos up there and if one of them's performing do a better video

[00:28:20] And now you have two videos on there. Yeah, yeah

[00:28:24] Like I think like I'm going in my head of like how we're gonna do it at home because it's gonna happen

[00:28:28] Oh, it is already we should make a party out of it one day. It's like bring all your stuff

[00:28:34] Reviewing day on the neighborhood

[00:28:39] I just imagine yourself going to garage like

[00:28:43] Kind of like yeah, I'm not buying this but can I just do a quick review of this thing real quick

[00:28:53] You record the

[00:28:55] Like sadness you put it like in the curve and just like just record it and then

[00:29:01] This is what I think is gonna happen, right? It's gonna be the weekend party, right?

[00:29:05] And it's gonna be four stations, you know Katie Madison's girlfriend me and him and then we're just gonna like

[00:29:12] Rotate on each one of us is gonna do like a different review on it or a review on it

[00:29:16] And then from the ones that perform then we do a little more detail with like frequently asked questions

[00:29:21] I hey, you know as we do their review

[00:29:23] We're answering the questions that people are putting in there and it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen

[00:29:27] Yeah, so

[00:29:28] You could have an account

[00:29:30] The what yeah, each of us could have you can have your own account

[00:29:34] So you for all four you could do one video on the same item and just completely monopolize on that

[00:29:40] We're going after Amazon review videos

[00:29:45] I'm thinking there's

[00:29:47] You know, I'm

[00:29:48] I'm thinking in here people are probably gonna try to take advantage of this in a way first of all

[00:29:54] I'm sure other companies are gonna follow like Walmart, right? But Walmart might even they already have there you go

[00:30:01] so all the videos that you create for them you can probably create for Walmart do the same thing and

[00:30:06] And

[00:30:07] Now I'm also thinking you want to probably target

[00:30:12] You know after you go beyond all the things that you have in your house that you can review without investing some sort of money

[00:30:18] There's probably some sort of strategic approach

[00:30:21] and I don't know if you talk about this in you know

[00:30:23] Your your course that you have out there and I don't if you do don't give out the secret sauce because

[00:30:29] You know, I want people to go and talk to you and learn even more

[00:30:32] obviously we want to share and we want you know for people to understand but

[00:30:36] I don't want to take all your information here in content is profit, but

[00:30:41] You know, I'm thinking strategically

[00:30:43] You can probably look just like the dropshippers do that they can see what are the products that are performing the best

[00:30:49] You know that are having a lot of sales you can probably go look for those products and then

[00:30:55] There's probably a way to see which one of those have the most competition in reviews, right?

[00:31:00] Which one of those have a lot of video reviews and then potentially

[00:31:05] Focus on the ones that have obviously

[00:31:07] high traffic lower competition for reviews create something good in there and then those videos, of course, they're gonna improve over time

[00:31:16] but

[00:31:17] You're going to you potentially have a I'm sure you have some sort of framework for those videos again

[00:31:22] If you want to learn about this go and talk to Colton. I'm sure you know

[00:31:25] He said he has little resources that he can help you with

[00:31:29] But that's how I'm envisioning it right now

[00:31:31] You know after you do reviews for all the things you have around a more strategic approach and sure you potentially gonna have to invest in some of these products

[00:31:40] But I think it becomes that game of okay

[00:31:43] How do I maximize my shots of creating good reviews for this for the products that again have high traffic low competition?

[00:31:52] The companies are sending you products, right? I think I saw a pink at Christmas tree

[00:31:56] Oh, they're sending you products now that by the way

[00:31:58] My wife part of it she wants to have a Christmas forest every Christmas, you know

[00:32:03] We're out to three Christmas trees and well, she saw your pink tree and she's like oh my gosh

[00:32:06] I want that for next year. I'm like I blame you Colton for

[00:32:11] Well, make sure you watch you

[00:32:13] Before you buy

[00:32:20] That's funny no so that's that's another part of it which is kind of crazy

[00:32:23] So I would say after you get 50 75 maybe a hundred videos kind of depends but I

[00:32:30] mean, I say just get 50 up as quick as you can and then you know hit that next milestone of 100

[00:32:37] But once you get past 50

[00:32:40] These sellers will start reaching out to you and saying hey, I need a video done on this product

[00:32:44] Can I send it to you?

[00:32:46] And most of the time I say yeah, you can send it to me

[00:32:49] But you also got to pay me 25 bucks to do the video and give me the commission

[00:32:53] So so I'm getting paid for the product

[00:32:55] I'm getting the product for free and I'm making a commission on the product if anybody buys it after my video

[00:33:00] So I'm like well, that's

[00:33:04] Why would I not do that right? Yeah, I think this is super awesome

[00:33:08] because it offers a very

[00:33:11] Low barrier of entry for a lot of people that want to start making money online

[00:33:15] They might have like a job or they just want to do like a side project

[00:33:20] And get started right you said 50 videos it might sound like a lot for maybe somebody that hasn't created it

[00:33:26] But it's not really right like it's

[00:33:29] It's you sharing your thoughts and something that you already use right?

[00:33:32] So there's obviously some logistics to it

[00:33:34] but this is probably like in our entire like seven years of you know creating content in a sense

[00:33:40] This is probably the lowest friction that we've seen

[00:33:43] Literally for people to start making money online

[00:33:46] And I think that's very attractive and obviously what's gonna separate you, you know down the line is gonna be consistency

[00:33:53] Obviously, you're gonna develop some skills. So obviously the the more you do the better you become

[00:33:57] I'm also thinking on my on the back of my head. I'm like well

[00:34:00] You can also you do that and then you pose those reviews also on YouTube and

[00:34:06] With the affiliate links if you have affiliate links of the products right and then so you have like all these verticals where you can

[00:34:13] Multipurpose the same video for different reasons. So we're definitely gonna be trying this out at home because I'm about to review this fake plant

[00:34:20] I have right in front of me. I'm gonna review everything

[00:34:24] everything

[00:34:25] Do you do it some of those things make I'll tell you the craziest thing I bought this there's like this little tiny thing that goes on

[00:34:33] your hose

[00:34:35] Just yeah, it's like an adapter for the hose

[00:34:38] Well, it's like just in case it freezes. There's like a freeze plug on top or something. Oh, we live in Florida

[00:34:44] I think freezes here. Yeah

[00:34:47] Yeah, you guys don't have to worry about that here in Idaho we have cold weather

[00:34:53] But anyways, like I found this piece at Home Depot for three bucks and I was like I'm doing this anyway

[00:34:59] I'm just gonna record me doing it explain how this is super easy and just goes on and off

[00:35:04] And what the problem is literally took me a minute and I three bucks from Home Depot. Yeah, put it on uploaded it

[00:35:11] I've probably made four hundred fifty dollars on that little product Wow

[00:35:16] Yeah, I was like this is so random

[00:35:19] So seriously like ran the you randomist stuff makes money. Yeah

[00:35:23] It's more mainstream a lot of people might have videos on there like sure throw it up because you'll make something

[00:35:29] But if it's a super random like just review anything and everything like just

[00:35:36] I think

[00:35:53] For the vacation and the trip or whatever

[00:35:58] The commission level you see depending on how much they spend is it percentage wise or is it like a flat fixed rate? Oh

[00:36:07] Yeah, so it's percentage and it changes per thing. So like home stuff is usually a higher percentage

[00:36:12] Definitely want to do anything home luxury beauty is the highest percentage. It's like 10 percent really literally

[00:36:23] Do a make-up review

[00:36:34] Something I want to point out too is like this is this is something that

[00:36:37] The lifetime of the product and when you put your video up you actually keep your spot

[00:36:43] So you don't kick kick down. So you want to I mean the sooner you get it on there the better, you know

[00:36:48] Wow, that's interesting

[00:36:50] As long as that product is sometimes there's like

[00:36:53] Seven ten different variations of that same very like the very same product and you can tag all those at the same time

[00:37:00] Get your video on all of them at the same time. So obviously yeah, like I've got I go through the whole thing right my course

[00:37:07] Lay it out literally like if if you can make an extra

[00:37:11] Six seven hundred bucks a thousand bucks couple grand a month like what would that what would that do for you?

[00:37:17] You know, so many poker games

[00:37:24] Like for anybody like if I want a new truck like that's a new truck right there

[00:37:35] Society you know a thousand bucks extra month can help a lot of people with you know their debt

[00:37:41] You know, maybe they want to reinvest it on themselves

[00:37:44] You know to grow the other side of the business that they might have they can use it to revitalize their relationship with their loved ones

[00:37:53] Who knows but obviously an extra thousand dollars can meet a lot to a lot of people

[00:37:58] I think nowadays and this is probably for different conversations, but I think now a day the value of

[00:38:05] money

[00:38:06] The perception of value of money has changes because there's so much in social media that is like make 20 grand a month

[00:38:12] May 80 grand like there's all this

[00:38:15] Hustle culture, you know make six figures a day type of messages that people now

[00:38:21] They see a thousand bucks with that is not not that much. No it is

[00:38:24] You know like here in Jacksonville, Florida to bedroom apartment rent is what seven seventeen hundred bucks? Yeah, right?

[00:38:30] So you start making that

[00:38:32] You know you can start paying rent and you can save all the other money and you know pick your debts all that stuff

[00:38:38] So it it can be for some people

[00:38:41] Life-changing money you said at the beginning. It's not gonna be life-changing money

[00:38:45] But you know that I think that depends of course of the circumstance of whoever we're talking to whoever's listening to this right now

[00:38:51] And a thousand bucks. Yes could be life-changing money actually

[00:38:54] I think this is exciting too like if you're a parent

[00:38:56] I think this is something super cool that you can do with your kids as well

[00:38:59] And then guess what that is their money and you can start teaching them, you know

[00:39:03] How to have control over that money and how to grow up so you know

[00:39:07] We've been very blessed that we have family that sends Luca and Mateo presents all the every time

[00:39:12] You know, we've been like limiting now right now same more so we can review it online

[00:39:17] To the park is sweet. It's gonna turn from studio park as we see studio review, so it's

[00:39:23] Gonna start reviewing things here at the studio

[00:39:25] I

[00:39:28] Throw this out there too. Like I know several people that make over 10,000 a month doing this so that is possible

[00:39:35] Definitely possible and there are some strategies to do that obviously you're gonna be more than just what's in your home

[00:39:40] Yeah, but I do know several people that have over a thousand videos that they got done in just a few months

[00:39:46] So it is possible. Yeah, what if you go to?

[00:39:50] This is this is so bad. This is I get don't follow this

[00:39:55] This is probably a little bit of an ethical

[00:39:57] But you know, I'm just sharing it for them for the sake of the pie guess

[00:40:01] What if you go to like Target and Walmart and literally start grabbing you thing by thing and start reviewing them right there at the shop

[00:40:14] They were at Cabela's like just taking videos up like guys come on

[00:40:21] You buy it you review it in your house and then you return it

[00:40:39] People are gonna be like, oh, I'm pretty sure I saw you

[00:40:43] Returning like 150 products yesterday. Why are you doing here again?

[00:40:48] Yeah, you're gonna definitely there are softwares to find like products that are gonna be a high high yield

[00:40:55] You can buy stuff that's gonna be a bit better. Yeah, I was actually thinking about

[00:41:01] Again, this is awful because I'm not one for I like buying the quality stuff

[00:41:08] You know like the good the things I have done the nice brand in the air for whatever

[00:41:12] You know, not just like let me see a product and then look for the counterfeit stuff somewhere else

[00:41:17] But there is a lot of products that a lot of brands that have great products and the people that cannot afford those they go on

[00:41:25] They look for

[00:41:26] You know a variation of that product in sites like Amazon

[00:41:31] So I think that could be good like see what ads are potentially running on social media for certain products

[00:41:37] And then say alright, let me look for very similar products

[00:41:41] On Amazon and then do reviews for those. I think that could be a good story

[00:41:46] I'm sure I'm sure you cover all these strategies on the on the course as well. See you smiling. You're like, I got you covered

[00:41:51] Dude, I got you. I remember what it was

[00:41:53] I recently got rich wallet. I've reached wallet right you see the influencers doing their rich wallet whatever

[00:41:59] I've been seeing for years and I and I remember I was like dude my wallet is like literally a dead wallet

[00:42:05] Was it that reason or you're like I want to be an influencer. Let me get a rich wallet

[00:42:10] Actually looks cool like they finally sold me after three years of watching their content

[00:42:13] But I saw an ad but I didn't buy it from the ad I saw the ad and then I went to Amazon about it on Amazon

[00:42:19] Right, so it's like that's what that's the behavior of the consumer

[00:42:23] Right. It's like I don't really fully trust this website that's serving me these ad and also, you know

[00:42:28] We're a prime member. So it's like the convenience of that

[00:42:30] So it's like as a consumer that could be like a really cool straight like you said like let's see

[00:42:35] What are the ads that are being served in your phone and then go to Amazon?

[00:42:39] Is it listed there perfect that could be like a perfect opportunity to to continue finding products

[00:42:43] Man, I by the way, I cannot wait to go through your course man. We're gonna link

[00:42:48] We're gonna link it right below

[00:42:49] We're gonna put all the social media or any links at Colton senses so you can get in contact with a special business

[00:42:58] So we're gonna keep you posted to month one more month two we're gonna send you everything see how it goes

[00:43:05] Hey, maybe we can do it. We can do a YouTube series documenting the experience be like

[00:43:13] I

[00:43:19] Your channel should be Batman reviews and just do all the reviews in Batman voice. That'd be funny

[00:43:25] I wonder how humor plays a part on actually reviewing some of these elements how how personality

[00:43:32] Alright, we gotta head out here soon. We got some people come into a studio, but I'm curious. Have you noticed?

[00:43:39] some sort of change between

[00:43:42] Reviews that have the personality versus voiceover reviews for example that people might not see your face

[00:43:47] Is there like some sort of difference?

[00:43:50] You know, that's a really good question. I'm not 100% certain on that

[00:43:54] But some of my videos where I'm actually faceless so it's not even me in the video

[00:43:59] It's literally just me talking about the product

[00:44:01] I think some of those perform better than others maybe just because it's the nature of the product like

[00:44:08] They just want to know a couple like there's those two questions that everybody has about it

[00:44:13] Like how does it actually look? How big is it really and they just want to know a couple things, right?

[00:44:18] But obviously if you do have a little bit of personality, it's probably be better in any way like just

[00:44:24] The stats do show that videos with faces on anything anywhere do better anyway, so

[00:44:31] Yeah, but you don't have probably female faces do a lot

[00:44:35] Alex or mostly talked about that like the data points out that post with female faces they do they do better

[00:44:41] They get more traction. Here's a fun fact. Is that why you're trying to get your wife into this?

[00:44:47] The faceless side because she's like she doesn't want to be on camera, which is totally okay

[00:44:51] But I think like it'll be interesting to be like, okay

[00:44:53] You have a faceless review then you have the male face the ma the male review

[00:44:57] Then you have the female review, right?

[00:44:59] And you have this inventory of reviews that you can put out there if you have the capacity to do that

[00:45:04] Obviously it'll take more resources and time, but I mean funny story

[00:45:08] We had the I've been getting to trading cards lately

[00:45:10] And I will go to the shop and part of their business model is the the streaming

[00:45:15] They break the boxes and they break the cards and all this and they have three on staff full-time

[00:45:21] People that stream and do this right and the guys like this is awesome

[00:45:26] It's like the main part of our business

[00:45:28] But if you know a female that can do this, please let me know right and the female obviously have to know about the cards

[00:45:33] They have to know about the sports or whatever they're doing because they have to talk to it

[00:45:36] But it's like if you have a female breaker, that's a position a breaker

[00:45:41] You will make a killing right and it's like I immediately call Katie. I'm like hey, do you want to do this?

[00:45:46] I

[00:45:53] This has been absolutely amazing. I do have to head out here. We got people in the studio

[00:45:58] I got a help out set them up, but uh
