Traditional whole hog cooking. It is a simple but rare thing. South Carolina's Rodney Scott, he has mastered how to cook a traditional whole hog. Keep listening. Later in this video, he will reveal the key. Where does it go from here? Right here. We'll take it, we'll add a little bit more seasoning to this, and we'll take this, pull it, portion it up, and serve. How to cook a traditional whole hog, the Scott's Barbecue Way. Hey there, it is Bill West with BBQTricks.com. I made a little short journey to Hemingway, South Carolina. Had a chance to talk to Rodney Scott for a chapter of my book, The Barbecue Blueprint. And I tried to learn exactly how to cook a traditional whole hog, the Scott's Barbecue Way. And although Scott is the opposite of flashy, still I was amazed at the Willy Wonka spaceship style factory that he has created to smoke his hogs. Although he wasn't revealing actual secret ingredients the day I met him, he was surprisingly open about all his methods and his operation. I grew up in the business. My dad started in 1972, and growing up working with my dad, cutting wood, farming, that kind of thing. And I saw that cooking the hogs was a little bit easier than farming. I started to pay real close attention. And here we are, back on it. I mean, it's like, once I found out that food was in supply and demand, I said, wow, we can introduce this to anybody. And your favorite part about this whole thing? My favorite part about it is meeting new people every week, friends through food, satisfying the appetite of the visitor. What's in this mopsauce? Mopsauce is black pepper, red pepper, vinegar, and a whole lot of love. I see some lemons. Little citrus flavor in there. The mop sauce, we go through, wow, about 8 to 10 gallons a day with extra sauces and mopping the hogs, about 8 to 10 gallons of sauce a day. Is that sauce or is that mop? Some people call mop sauce, we call the mops sauce. This is what we will call sauce. Here at Scott's Barbecue, this is sauce. This is the same thing you're getting at the table? Same extra sauce that you would get, that's what this is. Some people call it mop sauce, some people call it mop. According to where you're from, I guess. Give me your descriptions of the different sauces, the different sauce categories. Wow, different sauce categories I've heard of. Vinegar base, pepper, tomato, I've heard molasses. And of course mustard. And the main thing that we've only known in this area is vinegar and pepper base. Is that sometimes considered, is that called Eastern Carolina? Eastern Carolina. From Columbia, which is Midlands West, everybody is considered to use mostly mustard base sauces. And obviously you like this the best. I like the vinegar the best. I notice it's a little sweet, right? Just a little bit, just a little bit. Enough to know that there's a little sweetness there, but not too much to where you have to visit your local dentist when you're done. So you're actually breaking things up a little bit? I like to break it up to make sure all the whole hog is covered with sauce. All the sauce and the juices get through. So while you're baking the skins, all the flavor is still trapped right in and everything is getting seasoned. So when you pull it, you have everything you need. What's your typical day for you running Scott's Barbecue? Typical day, I wake up, get dressed, go get some breakfast. Come to work and I'll flip my hogs over because they're roasted all night. I have a couple guys here all night and I start seasoning the first two hogs to come off around opening time 9.30. And then I'll have some more coming off around noon. And the last batch will probably come off around 3 so that we'll have whole hogs hot all day. So we stage them out to make sure the meat stays hot and moist all day long. Where does it go from here? Right here we'll take it, we'll add a little bit more seasoning to this and we'll take this and pull it, put it in pans, portion it up and serve it. And you're pulling it all by hand? All is pulled by hand. That's why we like to keep it tender, moist and juicy so you can just grab it with no problem. Now you've done this forever, what are you looking for at the very end? Is there something with the texture or is it the skin? There's a little texture on top with the meat that we watch for. As far as seasonings, we want this part right here. We want that to have seasonings on it's sauce. We want it to be covered, flavored so it'll look like such. And on the bottom, the skins, they crisp up and once we get those nice and crispy, we break that off and we'll sell that as well. So if someone says they want ribs, they're getting ribs. They're getting ribs right out of the whole animal, everything's right in there. What's going on in the middle of the night here? In the middle of the night, a lot of storytelling. But the hogs are cooking? The hogs are cooking slow. They go on evening time, early evening, around five, four to five o'clock. We get a delivery, we put them on and we start slow roasting them from then on until the next day. So then the fire has to be built before that, so I guess this process never stops? Never stops. We light the fire on Tuesday nights for Wednesday service and the fire burns from Tuesday until Saturday night.  The wood is definitely something that keeps the operation at Scott's Bar with you fueled. But there is one big thing that fuels Rodney Scott's spirits. What keeps you going every day? Music. Music, motivation, that new person that shows up and want to taste what we got and see how they like it. Hopefully satisfied. Which on your playlist? My play list is everything from Chitlin Circuit to R&B to Country, Little Jazz. Most of the time I'm playing a lot of R&B, old school hip hop, you know, upbeat music. Favorites, favorite tracks? Man, favorite tracks are Best of Me by Anthony Hamilton. It's one of my favorites. Don't Make Me Big by Tucker. OPP, Naughty by Nature. If it goes, it goes all over. In general, what's the key to making this incredible? The key to making barbecue incredible? My opinion is love. You put a lot of love in it, a lot of time and effort. And you're pretty much sure to get the same response back. It's not easy, but that's the main ingredient as far as I'm concerned is the hard work, the effort, the love for the whole thing. Hemingway, South Carolina, the epicenter of the barbecue world, and now Scott has taken his operation a little further to the coast to open a new place on Charleston's historic King Street with the addition of live music too. It's sure to fuel another tradition of whole hog barbecue success. You can find out more about Rodney. We did an extended podcast interview with him. Also there at the website, the free sauces and sides book that we have. And finally, a full chapter dedicated more to that interview is in the book, The Barbecue Blueprint on Amazon.

So, Steph Curry, as I reported last week, he's got damage to his labrum in his left shoulder. The good news for him, there's no surgery, but he's going to have a period of rest over the next couple weeks, and then he's going to have a really aggressive rehab because he's got to regain a lot of strength in that shoulder, so the Warriors, they're optimistic. It's going to be about a month where he's going to have to be off and then hopefully some type of return. But with these types of injuries, you're always susceptible to re-injury. If you come back too soon, that area can get re-aggravated pretty easily if you kind of short-circuit your return period. So I think this next month, obviously a big moment last night for the Warriors, winning on the road, Jordan Poole massive game, they're going to need more games like that, but this next month is going to be a massive kind of point for the Warriors in this season and just re-evaluating this team and seeing as we get closer to trade deadline, what moves could you make if this season does not go the way you expected to without Steph Curry.


Hello world, it's the surfing scratcher here bringing you another video connecting the world of maths with the world scratch If you haven't already check the description below for previous videos as this one is part of a series in this video We're going to be exploring connecting our expanded notation of all the variables to the score in the top left-hand corner Over there of our space failure game. So let's get stuck into it Okay, so I've got our space failure project open here and I've completed the Hundreds and the thousands code as well. So if I just give this green flag a click a press and then I click all our objects here You can see our scores are updating as they should be which is just what we want it to be doing Okay, I hope you went along and did that if you haven't maybe pause the video and probably copy down what we've done here I've done that all in our place value heading here The next thing that we need to do is connect our place value headings here our variables And actually combine them. So we've got our score one up here So how we're going to do that? Well, let's go across to our planner and I've got a new planner up here And as you can see I've got our stage and our stage has different Numbers filled in for each place value. I've got 1000 in my thousands. I've got 200 here Ten for my tens and two units, okay? Now we know our expanded notation is if we were to add all these together we would get One combined whole number. So if we were to do that, we would get 1000 we would get 212 okay 1 2 1 2 there you go as you can it's probably sport It's taking the first number of each of those place values Okay, one thousand two hundred and twelve. So we actually want that number to go up here. So how are we going to do that? Well, we've got all of our variables here, and we know that we actually just want to add them together So we can do that in our scratch project and I'm going to show you how so let's go back across to our project To implement our plan. All right, so we're currently in our place value sprite Where we're going to be doing this is we've got a bit of interesting code on our stage here Now I'd like to put code in the stage that doesn't really have a visual element related to it Our score lives kind of on its own. It doesn't have a visual element attached to it It's the same thing for our variables here, and you could have put all this code in the stage as well So what we're going to be doing is placing our code on the stage backdrop, okay? Now I encourage you to have a browse around to see what all this code is doing But we're going to be focusing on a block that's been created for us called update score This is going to be a custom block Okay, now let's just go through this to see what it does. So when the green flag is pressed Okay, when this green flag is pressed, we're going to set the score to zero So it's the score here. I'm going to set the units to zero We're going to set the tens the hundreds thousands and the ten thousands to zero as well There's no ten thousands that you can see but the variable exists We've also got a delay here. We won't worry too much about that one right now And after we've settled that we've got this control statement here This forever loop and that means it will do something if you allow it to for ever like forever ever And what that will do it's going to be calling This this block here update score forever So it'll like call update score and then we'll do it again. You just like do it all the time So the reason we're going to be using this is whenever there is a change to our variables It will immediately update our score. Okay, so that is going to be our plan that we're going to implement right now So you'll see as soon as I click this green flag all of these values will be wiped here. We go boom Okay, they're all to zero, which is what you would expect it now It's calling update score, but we've got nothing to update at the moment because there's nothing inside of it So let's go and do that. We know with our plan If we were to take all of these variables and we were to add them together then we would get this number here One two one two, so let's actually go ahead and do that what we need to do is We want to set our score to a particular number so we're going to go across to our variables and We're going to be grabbing the set block. So let's go and set our Score, okay Now at the moment, it's just going to set score to zero all the time So if I press this green flag, it's going to set score for update this to the number one He will always set scored a number one if I put it to any number possible. It will just Update it to that number. That's not what we want. We want to remember add all these numbers together Okay, all of our thousands to our hundreds to our tens to our units Where we do that is we need to go back into our operators whenever we want to do some Action or some work between like numbers like math calculations Sometimes with words when we want to combine them together You're going to be getting pretty comfortable with this operator section because lots of number of stuff that we're going to be exploring Yeah, the one that we're interested in is adding things together so We are going to be adding our thousands and our hundreds together We could start with the units. It's really up to you It actually doesn't matter the order that you add these in so I'm going to go across and get my thousands variable and Then I'm going to go across and get my hundreds very Now I Encourage you to play around with this and play around with the order to see if it changes because for some operations It makes a difference for others. It doesn't okay So it's really cool to just go around and play with it now I want to go ahead and add my hundreds as well And I'll pop that in there, but then it kicks out my thousands and then it kicks it out again So that's not really working. I need to do something. Sorry. I've already got my hundreds there I need to add in my tens. I Can't do that. So what do I do? Well, I'm just going to go ahead and grab another Operator block this addition one. I'm going to stick that one at the front like that and You know what? I'm actually going to stick it here So it's a bit easy to see and then I can put my tens in at the front Cool now I'm going to go get my units because I also need to add my units now. Let's put my units in there and oh Same deal same deal. Yo, so what we need to do is go ahead and go grab out another And this is potentially going to be our final one depending on where you want to stop this We're going to chuck that big block there In the second part and then we're going to start by adding it so units tens hundreds thousands cool so At the moment that's still not going to work because this block is sitting outside of our score So we're not setting anything, but now let's stick it inside it now as soon as I press the green flag It'll be calling it, but we haven't hit anything yet So if I press one of these objects, we'll see it update and then ask or update to so whoops I missed that one there is 1000 and look boom 1000 straight away It's at a couple of units in there. I missed one and there's a hundred so got 1100 and one Let's go one thousand two One and I need a ten to get that same number that we had. Let's wait for a planet there. It's cool. All right Let's stop our game We've got one two one two one thousand two hundreds one ten and two units And that is exactly what we had in our plan as well so now our game is fully functioning and we have Just completed space value and they can go off and play it at home. You've got a version To play with friends family show it off to your uncles and aunts or whoever you want That's it for this video and that's a wrap for our series on space value If you enjoyed this video hit the thumbs up button If you want to know when the next series is released or the next video hit that subscribe button Drop me a comment below to let me know how I can make these videos and these projects awesome for you But until then I'm off to find wave. Take it easy


What's up, guys? I'm hanging out with the amazing teacher Wanjiko. Hi, mama. Hi, how are you? Niko pwaka bisaw nendelea zi? Tami niko salama. Nde onima land. Jet lag? Jet lag naio. El mefraikuru din naskia. Naskia mahewa zingine tufa utu. I'm just from the U.S. and it's a bit cold because it's on the winter time. How has been the trip you've been there for long? Ya, I've been there for a couple of months to hurry in the U.S. I'm excited to be back. I can't wait to share what I've seen or have learned. So I'm excited. Yay, I'm back. How was the reception in Ota in the U.S.? It was very good. In fact, this time round I think it has been a bit different. Not like the other two I did in 2019 pre-Covid. This one was a bit more relaxed and people were so happy to be out because of COVID. So this time round it's been fantastic. And I've done more states than before. How many states have you done? I did seven. That's quite a number. I'm pretty excited to share with my fellow comedian what I've learned, what I've seen, do's and don'ts, the pros and cons. Fibia to Siri Moja probably just one lesson that you've learned. I learned that in my trip at the U.S. that, why? But you have not even scratched the beat of it yet. Okay, now you're here today. Please tell us what you're expecting. I'm expecting a lot from tonight. I'm expecting a lot. I can't see where Shibiawa is here. I'm going to end here. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you.


to exotic wine travel. I am your host Matthew Horky. Welcome back to the show. I'm sorry if there's going to be a little bit of a little bit of background noise. I'm outside. I thought it'd be a nice day. I'm near the street. So you're going to hear some cars going by and everything. I hope that's mitigated. But today we're going to talk about reds and navigating the reds in Valpolicella. So reds from Valpolicella are from Veneto. Veneto is the most productive wine region in Italy. Valpolicella reds and Suave whites are some of the most exported wines in all of Italy. So we're going to go through these. These can be very delicious wines made from Corvina, Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinera. My Italian is not that great. So these are the types of grapes that make up the blend. And you're going to see several different categories. You know most people when they go to Veneto they want to chase the big, powerful Amarones. Amarones are grapes that are wines that are made by grapes that are harvested, then sun dried. So the grapes shrivel concentrate, then they make the wine. The wine's become big, powerful, 15, 16, 17 percent alcohol, rich, full of tobacco, earthy, shit-dried cherry, and plum notes, things that people really like. But really the bread and butter of Valpolicella are Valpolicella reds. Now historically Valpolicella is a cooler region so the reds were a little bit thinner. That's why they had to come up with Amarone style of wines. But there's a lot more to the region than just Amarone. And let's talk about some of those wines today. Luckily we have some wines, the whole lineup from Villa Canistrata. We met them at a business to business tasting. They're nice enough to pass us some samples. So we're going to illustrate the wines using their lineup. So let's get started. You know, at the very basic level you're going to see wines they're called Valpolicella rosso. And those are blends. These are going to be thin, just everyday cup of red wines, usually not that expensive. One thing that you also need to know about these wines, you can see Valpolicella Classico on the label. That just means they're grown within a smaller area, the original area from which Valpolicella wines come from. They've expanded the area because the wines had so much commercial success. So the the zone is bigger, there's more vineyards, there's more wine to go around. The next step up from Valpolicella reds, you're going to see other things like repaso superiore. So what does that, what does that stuff kind of mean? Well let's get into it first of all. First of all, if we have the Villa Canistrata e Lassi Valpolicello repaso superiore from 2016. Now what are repaso wines? Repaso wines are Valpolicella reds. What they do is they take the skins from Amarone wines once they're finished.  The wines ferment again so you get a richer, stronger wine than just a Valpolicella kind of classic like classic style wine. They're not as big as Amarones, but they do have richness. I've had this wine before, I really really enjoy it. With these wines you get a little bit of cherry and just a touch of tobacco, not full-on tobacco like you get for Amarone wines. Cherry, fall leaves, touch of a tobacco, earth. These wines are medium to full body, lots of texture, lots of red fruit, lots of earthiness. Fans of central Italian, when I compare them, they're kind of like San Giovesi based wines, but Veneto wines tend to be a little bit more black cherry, whereas San Giovesi tends to be more sour cherry. I think this e Lassi wine is very good. The e Lassi repaso, I'm going to give it to 90 points. I thought it was good when I tasted it in the business to business tasting. I think it's very good when I'm tasting it now. Oh, excellent wine. Let's move on, shall we? Next we have the Villa Canestrari Valpolicella Superiori 2016. Now what's interested, when you see superiori on these wines, you know they have longer aging requirements. The wines have to be a little bit more concentrated because there's yield management that comes into play, but for some producers like Canestrari with their Valpolicella, they're actually making this like an Amarone. So what happens is these grapes get dried for anywhere from 20 to 40 days. The grapes shrivel, concentrate, dehydrate, they become darker, denser, richer in sugar, make wines. This one turns out to be 14.5 alcohol or as opposed to Amarone wines where the grapes are dried from anywhere from three months to four months in the case of these wines. So I have not tasted this wine. This is the 2016. Let's see how it tastes compared to the repaso. Off the bat, you're going to get just a touch, not a little, not a ton, just a touch of darker fruit, dark cherry red plum. There is a little more concentration, a little bit more tobacco notes, a little bit of menthol. This wine slightly fuller in body, just a tad bit richer. You've got a little bit more tannin, a little bit more concentration. I think that a lot of people are going to like this wine. I'm going to score also 90 points for my palate. Personally, I prefer to drink the repaso style wine. It's just a tad lighter, tad juicier, a tad more food friendly. But I think a lot of people that don't want to spring and spend the big time money for Amarones are going to like these superior style wines that are baby Amarones, Amarone like. And then lastly in the Valpolicella red, you're going to have Amarones or Amarone reservas that are aged a little bit longer. This is kind of story's top wine, the 1888 Amarone de la Valpolicella Reserva 2012. It's 16.5 alcohol. It's a big boy. And they've started to make this new wine, just the Amarone de la Valpolicella 2016. They wanted to make this. This is dried on the grapes are dried for three months. These are going to be easier Amarones, Amarones that you can drink more than one glass. Sometimes Amarones becomes so thick and powerful. One glass is enough for me. So yeah, check it out. Let me know. Are you guys drinking a lot of Veneto wines?  Let me know in the comments below. So guys, if you like this video, please subscribe to our YouTube channel, Exotic Wine Travel. I will see you at the next episode.


The authors developed a learning model to evaluate student progress over time by using fractional equations. This model was applied to describe the transformation of students' knowledge, abilities, and skills into a more complex background, which can be used in future professional activities. The model also takes into account various factors such as the youth's neurodynamic and psychological nature. The results showed that students who assimilated the content of teaching information and formed personal experiences were grouped into different categories. These groups were compared to the set of models with equations of fractional orders of aperiodic and fractional power components. Future work will focus on improving this model by taking into account the special characteristics of cognitive processes aimed at forming an individual path of student learning. This article was authored by Alexei P. Cornei, Larisa V. Heresymenko, and Victor V. Busher.


Good morning. Good morning everybody. How you doing today? Got some people here talking a little bit in the chat already. Please feel to join. Yeah, I can't talk.

That way you'll know when I'm doing one of these lives. You'll know when I upload a video. So it's like five days a week. I upload videos. There's plenty of content there. Let's see here. I got people talking. Leone Lee. I'm going to get this. Loen Nadie Squad is here. And I don't know if that's the mom or the daughter. So let me know. I see you are here. It's starting to get to know you guys. Dre, what's going on? Dre. Dre2310 is in the house. I got some really cool people here today excited about that. I've got some cool information to go over. James has already asked a question. I want to cover that. Understand guys, I'm doing these live videos every day right now. I don't know how long I'm going to do them, but at 9am to help you out. So if you want to make money online, you want to know what to do and how to do it. This is the place to come at 9am. Okay, you can ask any questions you want of me. I'm going to be totally honest with you. If I know how to do something, I'm going to teach you how to do it. I have sold millions of dollars of both digital and physical products online. And you know, I'll be happy to help you out in any way. Get a couple of questions in here. How is the name VSRX? Here's what you want to think about, Siddharth. Are people searching VSRX? If they are not searching that term, I don't know what that term has to do with, but if they're not searching that term, it wouldn't be a good name to build SEO. Aldean says, hola amigos. He says, hi friends in Spanish. Hola, como estás usted? Muy bien, muy bien. So yeah, I got a little Spanish going on there with Aldean. Aldean's a smart guy. Smart guy, got all kinds of stuff going on there. So I do want to talk to you about software today, but I do also want to address what James was talking about. And he asked me about Google AdWords. And I am currently running ads. I have to record some stuff today that I'm going to be posting in a video for ads. And I use these on YouTube ads. YouTube ads is incredibly complicated. I'm not going to kid you about that, okay? It's just been really tough to figure out. I actually paid a company $10,000 to figure out the ads. And I've got them figured out, got them dialed in, got everything working, clicks working, pages are converting and all that stuff. I just have to put the webinar back in here. So I do want to talk to you about that. Let's see what Dre has to say. Hi, I have been a little busy. I was going out of my car to start the shower. So I'm just getting home now. It's a big day. I just have my car and I need a car. It's okay. I am not a fan. I'm going home to get, I don't know, got a lot of stuff going on there. Not quite sure what the comment is, but good to have you here. Glad to have everybody here. I really appreciate you showing up. I appreciate your time here. So let's talk about first off, and let me get my screen set so I can see real time what's going on. Let's first off talk about, do you even need software to make money online? Now, I would have said 10 years ago. No, you probably don't. I would say today you most definitely do. You do need software and I don't care if you're selling digital products. I don't care if you're selling physical products.  I don't care what you're doing. You need a particular software that I'm going to talk about today. That's going to do a lot of things for you. It's going to help you market to your audience. It's going to help you do funnels. It's going to help you if you have courses. It's going to help you with everything. It's called CARTRA, K-A-R-T-R-A.  Use my affiliate link, which I will have in the description at the end of this training today. You can use that link and you can actually get a trial for only $1. Make sure you use my affiliate link. It will appear in the description at the end of this video today. Let me answer the question that James had about Google AdWords. First off, Google AdWords, they have an AdWords tool where you can actually use that tool to find different things. You can also use Google AdWords on my videos here. People put ads on my videos and I get paid on those. You can do ads on people's websites. You can do retargeting. You can do video ads on YouTube, which is what I'm doing right now. There's a lot of things you can do. To talk about all of it is really complicated. What I may do in the future is break that down into some different components. I'll show you some of my ad spend. I'll show you how our ads are working and what we did. That way you can see this stuff. It may make it a little bit easier than if I just say, hey, AdWords are this because there's so much to it, guys. It doesn't mean you can't do it. What I'm saying is you just got to know what you're doing. You can't just jump in there and start running ads. It won't work for you. You really have to know the process. You have to have the templates. You have to know how to target. You have to know how to do all these things. Super important that you do that. So let me get a sip real quick here before I get going. And it is Monday. I hope you guys have a big day playing. I hope you have stuff you're doing. I know my wife is doing a interview with a food expert in pet food, raw food, feeding pet food. And that's what she does. That the lady that she's interviewing, my wife teaches dog training and everything about dogs and nutrition and health care and everything about dogs is what she trains. She has great courses on that. It's called the Furry Family Coach. You can find her channel here on YouTube also. So she's got a lot of great content. If you want to check that out, if you got a dog, you want to go over there and check that out. So why do you need the software nowadays? Well, I would say, or the surface, the main reason is because there is software out there. And if there is software out there and other people are using it and it works, they're going to be ahead of you. So if nothing else, just to stay in the game, you're going to have to have some software. Now, there's a lot of different softwares out there. There are softwares that will help you email people. Okay, like let's say constant contact or MailChimp or something like that. There are softwares out there that will help you build funnels like ClickFunnels, something like that. There are softwares out there like Kajabi. And Kajabi will help you build memberships, you know, which is pretty cool. There are softwares out there like lead pages that helps you build pages, sales pages to get people to opt in or to buy your products. So there's a lot of different softwares out there. The reason I like Cartra is because everything I just mentioned is in Cartra. It's all there. You don't need all these other softwares, you'll need all these other programs to be able to do what you want to do. To give you an example, you know, we ran a promo on our 14 and a half ounce canned meats, which we did not have available for a while. And we use all those different things in there. Okay, we built our sales pages in there. We built our opt in pages in there. I have my email list there so I can email people there. I built sequences so that these emails would go out on a daily basis based on, you know, what the person activity was. So if I sent out an email the first day for a 14 and a half ounce meat, and they bought it, okay, the next day where the emails are going out trying to get them to buy it would first look at everybody in that group and say, do they already have this tag that they already buy this product? If they already bought this product, it would pull them out of that funnel. And it would not send them the email if they didn't buy the product, if they didn't have that tag, then it would go ahead and send that email. So that's an automation process that Cartra will do for you. And you don't have to worry about it. The other things it does is that when people come to the page, okay, so they come to the page. And I showed you this the other day on one of the lives, if you didn't get a chance to see that you may want to go back and watch that. I think it was about three days ago, something like that. But the other thing it will do is when they go to the page, it shows them the product. And of course, it has a page with all the information on the product. And they can click on the button for chicken or beef, and it's going to take them to another page that sells them the chicken or beef. Okay. Now on that page, in addition to selling of the product, it has a little upsell at the bottom that little upsell button, you know, says, hey, would you like to join this survival academy? You know, and they could click that button and they could add that to their order. Once they did that, they went through that process, it would then take them to another page that would offer them a bigger case of meat. Okay, so maybe they, they bought the small cans and now they can buy the big cans. So it automates this entire process for me. And I could just sit back and work on something else and do something else and go do edits or go write other sales letters or whatever I want to do while this automated process is actually making me money. So that's pretty cool stuff. If you have any questions about anything that I just talked about, the sale, the bump, the upsell, downsells, you know, email sequences, I want you to put that in the chat section. And once again, let me remind you, the more you put in that chat section, the more often you post in that chat section, the better this video does, the more it helps this channel. Because YouTube sees the interaction. And if they see the interaction, they're going to be more willing to distribute this video out on the internet, more people see it, I'll give more subscribers, it just, it helps me all around. Okay. And I don't charge for this training here. I never do charge for okay, I'm just doing this to help you guys out. So if there are other related questions you have about sales pages about products about anything, making money online, put that in the chat section right there, let me get a sip real quick. And you can get all your questions answered. Normally, when I do consulting, it is now $2,000 an hour, if I take on a client, which I don't even take on clients right now. If I had somebody really special that I wanted to work with, I would, but it would take away from something else I'm working on, I have too many other projects I'm working on right now to even do that. At one point, I did do that. It was fun. I guess the only frustrating thing that I mentioned it before is that when I'm doing coaching, if the people don't do what I tell them to do, I get very agitated. Okay. And it's usually out of laziness. They just like, Oh, I didn't get to that. I'm gonna get to that. I just haven't done that yet. And it drives me crazy for somebody to pay me money. And then I tell them what to do. And then they don't go do it. Can't stand that stuff. Okay, it drives me just crazy can't stand it. So those are the things that really irritate me. Now, understand that I use cartra. And I love cartra. And somebody may say, Well, what about all these other softwares? Well, the truth is, I've used a lot of these other softwares. I've used click funnels. I've used a Weber. I've used MailChimp. I've used constant contact. I've used infusion soft, which is now key. I've used I've used lead pages. I've used all these other not all of them, but I've used a lot of these other softwares. So I know what I'm talking about because I've applied them.  But nothing is like cartra. Nothing is like cartra. And once I once again, I want to remind you in the description at the end of this video, you're going to see a link for cartra. And you can just click the link and go watch a video on all it's going to do for you. It'll blow your mind. It'll blow your mind. And then if you're interested in it, you can get it for $1. Who do you suggest for web hosting? It depends. Okay, it depends on what platform you have. Like we have a Magento platform. So we have web hosting for that platform. That is a very high level, because Magento is very high level. If you have a WordPress website, I would suggest Bluehost. There will be a link also in the description, because I do recommend Bluehost. Bluehost is the recommended provider for WordPress website. So check out that link in the description when the video is over with. And that's who I would recommend. See here Aldine says, I truly appreciate all the great advice you provide. I've learned a lot from you so far. Well, that's awesome. I'm glad. I'm glad you did. And guys, really, if you hang out here each day and you pick this stuff up, you can just apply it. You can make money.  It's not, this is not rocket science. You know, a lot of people say, oh my God, it's so mysterious that people make money online. It really isn't. It's not that big of a deal. It is a lot of work.  You got to sit behind your screen a lot. You got to do a lot of typing. But as far as making money online, it's just it's not that hard. It really isn't. James, you're welcome. No problem, buddy. I appreciate it. And these are good questions. I appreciate these good questions. I really do. And it keeps us going. If I don't have a lot of questions, I mean, I'm going to run out of steam. I won't have that many things to talk about. I don't want to bore you. I only want to talk on here if I'm giving you good value. I don't want to talk to hear myself talk. That's not necessary. I will give you a little scope of my day today. So I'm going to do this right here. And then I really do have to get my webinar recorded today. I've been, I guess, putting it off. I don't know. But I've got everything written out. It's all set. And I need to get in here and just get the thing recorded. So I will do that later on in the week. I'm going to be talking about recording and microphones and all that stuff. If you notice on all of the lives right after it says a day in the life, excuse me, it's going to say what subject I'm going to talk about. So you can look at those different subjects and determine if it's something you want to learn. You don't want to learn or whatever it is. That doesn't mean that if I have a subject listed that you can't come in and ask a question about anything about selling online. Like right now, you can, you could ask whatever you want in that chat section. I'm going to answer it and I'm going to get ready to do that right now. It says here, Aldean says, do you think WooCommerce is good fit for drop shipping? WooCommerce is an integration with WordPress and it's good. But if you're really going to be serious about drop shipping, I highly suggest Shopify. Shopify is a really good platform. I will have a link in the description for Shopify. I am an affiliate for Shopify. I've used Shopify. I've used WooCommerce too because not bad.   But Shopify makes it a lot easier for you. It's set up a whole lot easier. You have integrations that are a lot easier. You can use Oberlo and integrate with Alie Express if you're shipping from there. And I do think that you're probably going to see E Packet again. I know it got rid of by the last administration, but I think it's going to probably come back again. And what that's done right now for drop shipping is it's just really slowed down the shipping times and up the cost a little bit. Aldean says, I know that Shopify is recommended, but I already have a WordPress site. So wondering if it works. I understand what you're saying and I get what you're saying, you know, you already have something going, you're already working on it, you want to find the easiest fix. Sometimes the easiest fix is switching. Okay, unless you've built up, you know, hundreds of thousands of people that are going to your website right now, switching to Shopify is not a big deal. And it also doesn't mean you have to get rid of your website. Okay, you can start a Shopify store. I don't think it's but like $29 or something like that to have a Shopify store. So you can switch and do it in Shopify. I really would recommend you build it up in Shopify. You know, unless you've got millions of dollars you're already generating on your website. It's not that big of a deal. You know, I went from infusion soft to cartra. It took us six months to move everything over. So I literally had to pay for two platforms for six months. But it was so worth it. And I knew it would be worth it. So I just did it. Okay, so I don't let the fact that it's difficult. Okay, remember, anything that's difficult is probably worthwhile doing. But don't don't let the fact that it's difficult prevent you from doing what's right. Okay, never let that happen. I know last night I was sitting on the couch and I looked at my wife and I'd already worked out I think six days last week. So I'd been pretty, pretty good about it. And I looked at her and I said, gosh, I just feel like I ought to get on that bike and work out again. And she just kind of raised her eyebrow at me. And I was like, God, and I got on there. And I stayed on there for an hour. Okay, and I burned like 700 calories on that bike. So I'm so glad I did it afterward. But I knew it would be difficult. And I knew I didn't want to do it. And as soon as I said I don't want to do that, they kind of spurred something in my brain is like, Oh, my God, if you don't want to do it, then you know you should do it. So that's what I did. Okay, I understand plan to start Shopify with your products. Okay, yeah, cool, you can certainly do it with our products, not hard to do at all. The plan to only drop ship USA products.  Shopify is pretty good. And you know, if I mean, I'm not saying you have to get Shopify, I'm not saying that I'm just saying that if you're going to really scale up on down the road, you're going to wish you had started there because it's a little bit harder to scale it up on WordPress. But whatever you want to do, they're both good. Okay, I'm not going to say one of them is bad because they're not, you know, they're both pretty darn good. So anyhow, I'm going to work on that webinar today, try to get some of it recorded. I know it's, I know it's like a two hour proposition, solid two hours. But I've got to, I've got to get my brain that I can also break that down into 30 minute increments, and then walk away. Okay, if I get that in my brain, then maybe I'll calm down a little bit about this stuff. Because I know it's a long, long time to do that. And I've probably got to clean up my computer a little bit and get some files off it. So I have some room. So it's just a whole thing right now. It's just a whole thing with me. But I'm going to get it done today. I'm going to have a little bit of lunch. We're going to work out today. My wife's going to have her live and live. And I already mentioned that. What else is happening today? I'm probably going to work on some of the descriptions in my videos. I have automatic uploads in all my videos. And you know what I noticed and it was this was dumb. And, you know, I've been doing this for 11 years. And I noticed an error in my description in my videos. And maybe this will help you guys out. I have several different courses. And in the bottoms I listed the website for each one of those courses like WebCache Academy, DigitalCache Academy and so forth. And I expected people to click on them and go to them. But that's dumb.  What I should have put is put, you know, free training for dropshipping click here and then had a link. And then I would have had more people going to it than if I just put the website. And you know, it's like, I know how to do this stuff, right? And every day I do marketing. I market every day and I'm pretty good at it. And yet I still make huge mistakes like that. How are people going to know from a website link what it even is? Makes no sense, right? So, you know, I make these mistakes just like everybody else.  So I've got to make those changes. Now, fortunately, I can change those links on hundreds of videos all at once, because I have a software called TubeBuddy. And TubeBuddy will let you make bulk corrections or changes or whatever you want on all your videos by just clicking a couple buttons. If you're interested in TubeBuddy, it's a great tool. You're going to need it to market on YouTube. If you have a YouTube channel, I do have a link in the description when this video is over with and you can click it and get TubeBuddy for free. 100% free doesn't cost you a thing. If you want to get the upgraded version, you can also save 30% and like TubeBuddy is like 10 bucks. I mean, it's not expensive at all. Let's see. I decided to take the plunge and started the setup of my YouTube channel. Awesome. Any tips for getting your first views and subscriptions SEO tips? Yes. TubeBuddy, TubeBuddy, TubeBuddy. You need TubeBuddy and you want to watch their tutorials are really good. And like I said, at the end of this video, look in the description for my TubeBuddy link. Okay. And if you go to that link, you can get a free subscription to TubeBuddy. Now, the other thing I'll tell you, Aldean, is the first mistake that everybody makes when they have a YouTube channel is they make their first video and their first video says, this is my first video. I'm starting a YouTube channel. This channel will be about blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Don't make that video. Don't make it. Why? Because nobody's searching for my first video. Okay. Nobody's searching for this video and they really don't care. Okay. They really just don't care. You want to start your first video as your first video. Some good content. Period. That's it. You don't have to introduce to the world that you now have a YouTube channel. And almost everybody makes this mistake. And I get it. Everybody wants to tell everybody that they have a channel, but it's pretty obvious that you have a channel because they're at your channel. The other thing I would tell you is make sure you use TubeBuddy to put tags on your channel, not just your videos. That's another big mistake people do. And then when people are searching, they can't find your channel. They can only find your videos because you've tagged your videos, but you haven't tagged your channel. Make sure you put tags on your channel. Super important. I would also use the TubeBuddy little meter that tells you how well optimized your videos are.  I see that. Yeah, everybody does. Everybody does. They think, oh, that's what I need to do. No, you don't need to do that.  So no intro video. No, you don't need it. Now, some people like to have a description video for their channel. And that's different. That's different.  And I had one of those. I didn't like it. So I pulled it. And I now have where you go to the channel. It's my most popular one. And I let YouTube select that video. And the reason I let YouTube select that video is because YouTube knows the person that is coming to the channel. And they know what they like and what they're going to want to watch. So I let YouTube select that same thing with what to watch next where you can put the videos on the end screen. I let YouTube select that because YouTube knows the viewer. I don't know the viewer. OK, I don't know who that is. They do know who it is. They know what their viewing habits are. And since they know their viewing habits, they'll know what video to put in front of them to keep them watching. So that's another thing I would recommend for you. Let's see here. Let me get to somebody's comments. Got a bunch coming in here. Do you have a checklist would have helped for YouTube? Is that what you're talking about, Paul? I'm not quite sure. Definitely need to take action because life is too short to work for idiots. Yes. Does TubeBuddy have tutorials? They do. TubeBuddy's has some pretty darn good tutorials. In addition to that, the guy that started TubeBuddy has a YouTube channel and I would recommend you go into that. He does some lives every now and then. Very educational, very helpful.  I would recommend that. What checklist do you guys want? I see Aldean agrees with you on your checklist, but I'm not sure which checklist we're talking about. So if you would put that in there, you can get another drink here real quick. Paul says yes. Yes, what? Yes, what? What checklist do you want? Tell me. What checklist do you want? I'm not quite sure. I think it's YouTube and I said YouTube and you said yes. So I'm going to go with that one. And if it's for a YouTube channel, I think I may actually do a video on that. So maybe we could do that on one of the lives or maybe I could just actually record one with the checklist because it's a lot of stuff. I mean, it really, really is a lot of stuff to do everything you need to do. I do have one or two in my channel. So if you search YouTube in my channel, you're going to find some videos on that. I don't have a complete one. I don't think from beginning to end. I think I have some about descriptions, some about tags, some about SEO. So search my channel for YouTube. And I think you're going to find something on that and that should be helpful to you. So yeah, so after I do the workout today, I will probably get to writing scripts. I got to write scripts because I need to record again this week. It's time to record again, recording time again. I just recorded a couple of weeks ago. Checklist for hitting everything on YouTube. OK, yeah. OK, Paul, I will do that. And like I said, there are some videos already on my channel on that, which will help you out tremendously, I think. Any other questions you guys got for me today? I've been at this for about 25 minutes. I like to try to keep it at 30. Sometimes I go for an hour because I have some great questions and people are really interacting. I know a lot of people are back to work today. Super Bowl hangover or whatever the case may be. I did not watch the Super Bowl. I do not care about the Super Bowl. And it's not like I'm here again or better than that. I just don't care. It just doesn't matter to me in the least. I read one article on it. I think Tom Brady did great. He won seven awards of something. Two more than anybody else. You'll see here. Do you do your own copywriting? Yes, I do. I do my own copywriting. I think because I have a pretty strong sales background and that's what I've done. I'm not going to say I enjoy doing it, but I love the results of it.  And I'm like, wow, this is pretty cool. So I like the result of my copywriting. And I like tweaking things. I like knowing how to do that. I think copywriting is probably one of the most important skills that you can have as a digital marketer. And if you're not good at it, it doesn't matter because you can get good at it. There's another book that I like called Words That Sell. Words That Sell. You can find that on Amazon. It's a great book. Let me see if I can find my link to that. Oh, I can't put links in here anyhow. Anyhow, it's Words That Sell. But that's a great book. What's your recommendation for a good affordable microphone? You know, I have one here and let me, I'm gonna, oh, move things around here for just a second. I like if you want affordable and if you have an iPhone or something like that. And I think this will also work I think it'll work on Android too, but I like this one right here. This is a corded one, okay? This is a corded one. This is not a cordless one. This is a corded one, but this one here is like $29. And I like it so you can look that up if you want to on Amazon. That's where I got that one. But my wireless one that I have is a Sinehauser and there is a link in the description to that microphone. This one here is like, I like I said $29. The Sinehauser one I use for all my video recording is $600 and something dollars. I mean, it's expensive, but it's really, really good. It's a German made microphone and it's a wireless, lavalier microphone. So I like that one. So you go from $29 to about $650 or something like that. I don't know what the price is now. Best way to learn copywriting is start to write. Start to write and look at other, you know, I'll tell you the best way to learn it. I'll tell you the very best way to learn it. Go to any grocery store that has magazines and look at the headlines. Look at the headlines that are trying to snatch your attention, okay? Five ways to lose weight in seven days, you know, 10 ways to make outside sheds or whatever it is. And those headlines are written by some of the best copywriters in the world. Take, just take snapshots of all those headlines, you know, that are on the front of those magazines that's tabloids or whatever and switch that to your product. That will really help you. Those people are really, really good. I think those are some of the best headlines. I love reading those. That's an awesome book. Also like a Jim Edwards copy secrets book, good read. Okay, thanks for putting that in there, Paul. That will be very beneficial to people. But yeah, copywriting is super important. And don't be scared if you're not good at it. You were never good at anything that you know in the beginning. Think about that.  You had to talk in the beginning. Quit using I'm not good at something as an excuse to say I'm not good at this, so I'll get good at it. It's that easy, I'll get good at it.  And I said, what are you gonna do? You know, what are you gonna do when you retire? And they had a list of countries they wanna travel.  She had two languages she wants to learn. They've got stuff planned. They didn't just say, well, we're gonna sit in the recliner and wait to die. Okay, and that's what a lot of people do with retirement. That's why I never wanna retire, ever, never. It's not about a money thing. It's about a, I wanna feel like, you know, I've got something to do every day. Imagine getting out of bed and going, I got no place to be and nothing to do. Woo, that, I mean, that weighs on me more than anything I could imagine. That is scary to me. I wanna know that I've got stuff I gotta get done every single day.  That's what I wanna know. That's what I wanna feel every single day. And why wouldn't you wanna feel that? Because what else is there?  I mean, come on, you gotta have something to do.  And I watch a lot of videos, travel, blog videos.  That's what keeps them going. See here, Paul says, women's, weekly, and Oprah are great for headlines. Yeah, yeah, I love magazines for headlines. I really do. They're really good. So guys, I do recommend Cartra. There is a link in the description at the end of this video. The description's not there yet, so don't be looking for it, but it will be there as soon as this video ends. You gotta get Cartra. I think it's one of the best marketing softwares. On the market, you can click my link. You can watch a free video, and if you wanna get it, it's a $1 trial.  I will also have a link for that. That's absolutely free. It doesn't cost you anything, so you do wanna use my link for that. And then if you wanna get a paid version of it later on, you wanna upgrade, you can save 30% by using my link on that. So yeah, Words That Sell, great book there. Those are things. And if you guys have any suggestions that you want me to cover, like Paul was mentioning a checklist for YouTube, so I'll do that. I'm here to serve you guys and give you what you want, that's for sure. Don't retire is great advice. Thanks. Thank you, James. I appreciate it, buddy. I really do. And thanks for being here, guys. I'm gonna go ahead and end it now. I hope you guys have an awesome day. Make sure you get something accomplished. Try something difficult today. Try something difficult. It'll make you feel...
