If you're wondering what products to sell on your store and what are the best product research methods to utilize to find those products, stay right where you are because in this very special video interview, I'm going to be speaking with Nar from Zik Analytics and we're going to be going over how to find the best selling products, the most trending products that are most likely to sell on your stores. And not only that, you're also going to see how you can automate the whole process, synchronize those products with Autodesk to continue business automation and also optimize your product pages to convert. There are many secrets that you haven't heard anywhere else that you will find in this very special video interview. This video will be worth your while. Quick intro and let's go. Since product research is one of the most important issues that people have today when starting their dropshipping businesses or when they already got their businesses going but they still don't know what are the right products to sell and what are the best product research methods. Now we're going to talk about one of my personal methods. So, Nar, take it away. All right, so what I'm going to do, I'm going to move now to my share screen and I'm going to just move into Zik Analytics and start showing you how I use Zik to find hundreds and thousands of products and then use the powerful integration without the DS to list those products with just few clicks. So let me share my screen here. One second. Here we go. So we are inside Zik Analytics. This is the dashboard as you can see. We can see here the main features, the shortcuts. There are plenty of features and functions inside Zik. I'm not going to go through all of them today. I'm going to jump directly to our new upgrade of the Zik Plus features and I'm going to show you how I use them, the auto pilot and the turbo scanner to find hundreds and thousands of products from Amazon, Walmart and AliExpress and then use the integration to list them to auto DS. So, of course, we have the product research where you can analyze product from the eBay best match results, find niches, find dropshippers. Then you have the competitor research where you can just analyze any eBay competitor and the title builder and category research where you can optimize your titles or where you can do category research and find categories.  And as I said, I'm going to jump directly to the automation, eBay dropshipping automation, product research automation. Many of you don't have a lot of time. Some of you already need to scale large amount of stores and there is nothing better than automation. So, I'll open here the turbo scanner and the autopilot and we're going to start with the turbo scanner. So, I'm inside the turbo scanner right now, as you can see. And the turbo scanner is basically a feature and an algorithm that sit on a database of over five million dropshipped products from Amazon, Walmart and Aliexpress. The turbo scanner only works with Amazon and Walmart, sorry. And you have those powerful filters here where you can decide which products you want to find. Let's go through the filters. So, first of all, as I said, you have three suppliers, Amazon.com, Amazon UK and Walmart. We are going to add very soon also Amazon Germany, Amazon France, Italy, Australia, Canada, et cetera. I will start with the example on Amazon.com. The second step is categories. You can pick the categories you want. So, these categories are Amazon categories and if I will click on the button here, it will give me the list of all the categories on Amazon and what it can be used for. You can either choose a specific category which helps you to focus on specific niche or on specific holiday season. Let's say you want summer product or winter products, you can go to a specific category that fits the season. The second thing is you can say you want to sell all of them, but then you can avoid all the risky categories. So, this is adding you another layer of the risk management. You can decide that Amazon devices is out of the game, all electronic is out of the game, Apple products is out of the game, art crafts we can keep, CDs and vanills we don't need, books we don't need and then if there are other high risk categories, for instance, if you don't want to work with premium beauty because there is or health and personal care because there are some products with the ingredients which are not allowed to sell or there are just more risks selling this kind of product, you can just avoid it. Now, it really depends on how many products you want to find and what is your strategy but I want you to see the options. After I unchecked all the categories I don't want to get products from, I will click on save and I'll save this category filter. The second filter is the rating filter. Another way to improve your customer service, your return rate and to just sell better products to your customers.  I don't want product with less than three, so with minimum three stars, I don't want less than three stars because then I take risk selling products that will not sell. On the other hand, and this is very important, new product that just got listed to Amazon don't have any rating. So, if your strategy is to focus on new products, you should not check it at all, you can just turn it off like this. Let's go here for the three stars for this example. Then you can put only prime, you have option to include or exclude books and DVDs and CDs just when you go for all categories and you want to just exclude specifically this kind of products. You can choose for review count, so here there is minimum 50 review counts, so the review count again it's from Amazon. So, if you want product with guaranteed success, so probably already sold and customer received them and they were happy about them and they gave them at least three stars, you should put here, I would say at least 10 reviews, if your strategy is to go for new ones, you should leave it blank because new products did not get any reviews. But you can even be more strict and say, if you're getting started, I want product with only, with minimum of 100 reviews, only the top, top, top products, products that I don't take any risk selling them on eBay. And then you have the best seller ranking, which is basically a second layer of demand, but from the Amazon side. So, besides of relying on the sales from eBay, where you say, okay, I want three sales in seven days, etc., you can say I want product with specific best seller ranking on Amazon. For the people who don't know what is the best seller ranking, the BSR, this is the ranking, the ranking method Amazon use to rank the products from the top performing one to the list. So, number one will be top performing. So, for instance, number one BSR in category electronics will be the top selling electronic product. This way we know, okay, these are just top selling products, I will leave it on minimum 5,000. Okay? As you know, in Amazon, there's a lot of products, if you will put this number too low, you're just not going to get a lot of product. And now you have, on the TurboScan, you only have 30 days sales history. This one, this information here, it's already eBay information. So, I want product with at least, let's say, five sales in 30 days. I want it to start from minimum price of 20 dollar. Now, this depends on you. If you look for traffic products, you can put lower price. If you want to look for high ticket products, you can put higher prices, help you to filter. And then I decide how many products I want to get. Now, why this is so powerful? Because you don't want to waste time, right? You want to come here, you want to find 100 products, you want to list them to your store, and you want to continue with your day doing other things. So, instead of just getting list of thousands of products like it was before, now you can come and say, I want only 100 products, I want only 20 products, I want only 500 products, I want only 1000 products depend on you. So, what you're going to do here now is that you're going to choose, I leave it on 100.  The filter by keywords add you another layer where you can search for very specific products. So, for instance, let's give an example, you can go for all categories, okay, any category. But you can say, I want product that having the title, the keyword dog, or the keyword toy, or the keyword's gift, or Christmas, this helps you to narrow down the search even more, and you know, focus on very specific search terms. So, I will not put any keywords now, but just so you know how it works. And now I will just a few tips, just a few tips here, let me stop you for a second now. So, guys, the more you narrow down your product research, the more refined your results are going to be, but the fewer your results are also going to be. So, take that into consideration and really play with a balance here. Know exactly what you're trying to target and try to narrow down as much as possible to really get the golden results, but don't narrow it too much to a point where you'll only find a few products and many irrelevant products. So, just to make the quick distinction here, the left side, what we're seeing from Terbal Scanner up until after the reviews and BSR, the best seller ranking, this is information from Amazon. This is information what you want to search, the filters that you want to see from Amazon. And the right side from the 30-day sales, this is results that we want to see on eBay. So, of course, the search is going to make a combination of them both. And for those of you who are not dropshipping specifically on eBay, but you still want to see product research, you still want to see what's in demand, this is also a good way to do it. So, even if you're dropshipping on other places like Shopify or Wix or WooCommerce or anywhere else, you can still use this data and test those products on your selling channel to whatever region you're dropshipping to. Absolutely. This was a great point. We have users from everywhere, Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce, people that use this data to utilize it to amazing result and you're absolutely right. Thank you for this feedback. Very good comments. Thank you. So, I will click here on the scan button. I will continue. And once I click on the scan button, this is going to be very quick. The algorithm going to run through the database, pick all the products based on these criterias. And as you see in a second, basically, the list didn't took even two seconds. And you can see that it was completed, the date, how many products it's found, and the supplier you chose. Now, what I want to mention about the products found, what we did here, we made that you will never get the same result. So, you don't need to worry, oh, this 100 items will be the same like here. So, if this is my filters and I will click scan again, these are going to be the same items. No, as long as you keep your scans here, we have a system to check and we'll never bring the same items. Let me show you how it looks like. We're going to open both of them. Okay. And we're going to start with this one. So, you can see all the filters you choose and everything. And this is the first scan, right? You can see the products. Now, the Turbo scanner brings only data from the supplier. So, whether it is Aliexpress or, sorry, Amazon or Walmart, you will only see the supplier data. And then we see the pictures, the titles, product ID, which is the Asin on Amazon, the price, the sales on eBay, the rating on Amazon, the BSR on Amazon, the reviews, and the category. And all you need to do now is to decide, I want to list all of them or I just want to list a few. If you want to list all of them, you click upload all. This takes you to the integration without the asset that will shortly explain you about it. We will get there. Don't worry guys, very soon. And then you just click upload and the product will go there. And we can also export CSV. Some prefer to export CSV to optimize titles and stuff like this. Now, there are other things we see here on the list. We see the vera sign means this product is a vera brand or a risk keywords. And we have spatial, we developed spatial protection here that together with Autodesk protection, we have double protection. And we'll discuss it also on the part of the integration. Now, I wanted to show you the result. You see, these are the products here. The products here are completely different, completely 100 new products to list. So all you need to do is to come here, generate scan, wait a second, get 100 listings, visit to your store, next. The next day you come, you do again. The next day you come, you do again. As simple as that, less than 10 minutes include optimization on the Autodesk side. So this is how the two was kind of work. It works the same with Walmart. The only things that important to mention on Walmart that I suggest to put sold by Walmart here in the filters and that in Walmart, products has less rating. So don't try, I mean, if you look for just few products, you can go in these streets and say I want only five stars. But be aware, if you need hundreds of products, I would turn it off completely because most of products don't have rating on Walmart. Okay. But it works exactly the same way. So I'm not going to go through it like I did with Amazon. I'll just jump directly to the next feature, which is the Autopilot. Now the Autopilot is an advanced, I would say an advanced version of the Turbo scanner, which brings the data from eBay and from your suppliers, match it, and then gives you the opportunity and allow you to optimize your title as well, and also allow you to filter by profit and return on investment. Let's see how it works. So I will click here on a new scan. Okay. I will start with filling the filter. So first of all, you can name it. Now, why it's important to have the name option, mainly for the big sellers who have working with virtual assistant and want to know which virtual assistant run, which scan. This is one thing. Other things, if you have some specific things you want to mention yourself, like some people focus on prices, some people focus on niches, you want to make, you want to mention it in the name, you can mention it in the name. Then here we also support AliExpress. So if you're dropshipping from AliExpress to eBay, you can also use automation from AliExpress. The rest is Amazon.com, UK, and Walmart. And as I said, Amazon, Canada, Australia, France, Italy, and the rest coming very soon. Then you will do it again with the categories. So again, here I unchecked the books, series, vanilla, electronics, and Apple products. Okay. And other things we did is anytime you will run a scan, you will don't need to pick the filters again. So it will save the filters automatically for you. Then you have only prime. Of course, you want to check in only prime. And you have the include similar items. What are those similar items and how they're beneficial for you? What we did was on top of the algorithm that matched between the eBay products to the Amazon products and supposed to bring the exact same products, we say, you know what, if we can't find the exact same products, let's create an algorithm that brings similar product. Now, I don't know if you ever hear about the similar products method, but this is one of the methods to increase your profit and generate a lot of sales, mainly when you're when you already have a big store. Why? Because you take a product from a niche with high demand, okay, from a keywords with high surge volume and high sales, and then you bring something similar to the market. This similar thing, this similar thing, what it does is it brings something new. So let's say you have a iPhone cover in a green color, and now you bring exactly someone in red color, you bring something new to the market, you offer something new. So first of all, eBay algorithm like it, push it to the top because it's new. Second of all, all the people that didn't like the green cover will now have an option to buy the red one. And the one who like red will take it, right, even if it's cost a little bit more. So if you need to list a lot of product, I highly suggest to check the include similar items to bring a bigger variety of products. It's one of the best ways to differentiate yourself from the competition. You want to be different. It is not a copy and paste game. We're not copying and pasting what other sellers are doing because they're already doing it and they're already succeeding at doing it. So who are you to come and copy and paste? But if you do, optimize your product pages, which I will show you to do in a few minutes, and also add similar items. And I keep stressing over this over and over again, add similar items to those that are working well for you. This way, you're going to start your own selling trends. And with this feature right here, it's going to automate that for you. Exactly. And this is the hard part because usually to bring similar product, you need to do the work manually. You need to see and see that it's much. But here, we did the algorithm for you. And I couldn't explain it better than Iran. We don't want to copy paste, want to be different, want to create value. This is how you succeed with business. Great feedback, Liran. Thank you very much. So I will continue here. I will exclude this right now, just for the example. But you know what? Let's turn it on just so you see the type of similar products that speak. Then I'll keep the average rating on three. Here I have five review count and 15,000 best selling ranking. You can play with it as Liran say. The higher the numbers, the more narrow down your result will be. So you have to play and find the balance. And now on the eBay side, we have many more filters on the Turbo Scanner. You can add more layers of demand validation, competition validation. So you increase the chance that you will sell the product you list. So you can say I want product with maximum 50 competitors or 25 competitors. And I want products that have at least three sales but not in 30 days, in 14 days. So there are more products that are selling right now. You can choose return on investment. So return on investment is the calculation of how much money come in, how much profit you make compared to the purchase price on your supplier, for instance, on Amazon. So if you have a purchase price for $10 and you make $1 profit, it's 10%. It's 0.1 here on the return on investment. I know a lot of big sellers that what they do here, they work with 0.2, 0.15, 0.3. And they don't care. They list thousands of products. So they just focus to make sure all their products have this ROI.  But I will leave it blank for now. You can filter by sell-to-rate. So you want product with a high sell-to-rate and success rate again. And this way, again, you can choose which product and how they will sell.  Let's put here 500. And now I will click start your scan. After I click start your scan, it's come here. This one here takes a bit longer than the Tuber Scanner because we're matching the data and we're bringing the data from IBM, from the suppliers and displaying together. So we can give it a few seconds and see how it works. Let's give it a few seconds. Meanwhile, till this load, I can just give you an insight on how it looks after the result come. And after this, we're also going to look on the result with a similar product. So this is the result, as you can see. Here you have the eBay photo and supplier photo. You can see the accuracy. So in the beginning of the year, we did huge upgrade to our system. We upgrade technology, we change the way we identify the product. And the results are very, very accurate. So really, in the past, and the biggest issue of this kind of tools in other softwares, etc., is that the match, the level of matching products is low and you make mistakes and stuff. Here it's super, super accurate. Take a look. It's just almost like 99% are accurate and it's amazing. The second thing here you can see the titles from the supplier, the titles from eBay that are clickable. Take you to the link, the eBay price, supplier price, the sell to rates, accessories, the sales on eBay, the competition on eBay, the profiting dollars and the return on investment. And then you can decide, you can export my CSV filter by profit, you can list it directly to AutoDS and you are ready to go. Now, how do you list to AutoDS? I will start explaining on it. And before we send the products to AutoDS, Liren is going to take control. So let's start with explanation and see how it works. So you can either choose specific one, okay? Or you can just say, I want to upload all. So I will click upload all. And then you choose your Lister, select Lister, the integration, the connection between Zik to AutoDS, it's super simple. You will come here for the first time, you will choose AutoDS, you'll have a button, you need to click, it will open you a new page with AutoDS login, you do the login and you finish, okay? So we don't even need to go through it because it's super simple. You pick your store from AutoDS. So all the stores that you have connected to your AutoDS account will appear here, you pick them, okay?  We will add the new marketplaces as we add suppliers from those places.  Now, why it's important? Because if you take the eBay title, there is high risk. If there is any mistake with the product, wrong quantity, and you put the wrong title, you will sell the wrong product. So I suggest you start with supplier products. In the future, we're going to add very soon in a week or two, we're going to add option to edit the titles. And then what you're going to be able to do is you're going to be able to edit the eBay titles and send the eBay titles. But I only suggest to send eBay titles if you've been checking them and editing them. If not, don't do it, okay? Go for the supplier title. And then you have the Vera Brands and Restricted Keywords Protection. Now, this is the real magic and people who walk will bulk, they know what I'm talking about. Now, instead of relying only on one side, we have double protection. We join forces together with AutoDS. We bring our data AutoDS bring their data about brand keywords. We check, we remove the Vera Brands, AutoDS remove the Vera Brands, and you are increasing, you are decreasing the chances of getting suspensions of Vera valuation in, I would say at least 85% to 95%. So you've got two sophisticated databases, checking your keywords, checking your listings to see if there are any manufacturers that you're not allowed to resell, trademark, copyrighted, all of those items that you are not allowed to dropship. And don't worry for all you beginners who are watching this. There are tens of millions of products that you can dropship, so no worries. But the ones that you can't, you don't want to risk your business over one wrong product or two wrong products. So on the one hand, you have Zik Analytics database. On the other hand, you have AutoDS's database. Together, you are, if you ever try to import a product that you're not allowed to, one of the databases will let you know, and you can make your decision from there. So even if you're a beginner and you want to tread lightly and you want to take it carefully, this is the right way to do it. Absolutely. And now we just dive in a little bit more. What's the difference between Vera Brands and restricted keywords? Vera Brands are brands you're not allowed to sell, no doubts, okay? So you can leave this checkbox, always check. Restricted keywords are different type of keywords. And let me explain you here, I will go through the result and I will give you an example. So we can see here that this one in yellow color, yellow color is restricted keywords. And restricted keywords are usually high risk keywords. For instance, military and treats and battery. These things doesn't mean you can't sell it, it's just in a high risk group. So you want to highlight it for you, so you can come here and check it manually yourself. Now, if you want to check it manually yourself, you have the time, you don't list, I don't know, thousands of products, you can come here and you can just, you know, let's say you checkbox everything. And then you go through the one and you check the yellow one, you say, okay, this is okay, we leave it in, this battery not good, I will remove it. This one engine I can keep, etc. And then you can upload the selected ones. But if you list hundreds of products and you don't want to take any risk, you just don't want to take risk, you just don't want to even deal with it, you can leave the checkbox on and just list like this with the checkbox on. And what will happen now if I click upload listings, it will immediately be sent to Autodesk. And then we'll be able to edit the products and optimize them on Autodesk. So just before we jump to your screen, just before we jump to your screen, let's see if the scan here finished. Yeah, so the scan here finished and you saw I run a scan with quite, quite a lot of filters and I got 246 products here, ready to be list. And now it's with a similar items as well. So let me give you an example for similar items. You have this camera, and then you have this camera. These are the same product, right? Do the same thing, use for the same need, but looks different. So you can use, you can bring new products to the market, because you know this one's selling very good. And then Zeke does the work for you, the similar product. And then you can checkbox and list.  Okay, I'll stop my share screen. Okay. I'm enabling sharing right now. Very good. You can jump yours to your screen. And then what we can do, I enabled, what we can do is we can see how the products go live on Autodesk. Okay. Okay. So you guys should be seeing my screen right now Autodesk. Let me just zoom in on it a little bit so you guys can see it better. So we're both connected to the same Autodesk account. So what's going to happen now is Nar is going to import those products. He's going to click the import button that you saw before I shared my screen after he selected all of the products. And now you're going to see just how fast they import from Zeke Analytics to Autodesk, meaning to your dropshipping store, and how fast and how efficiently you can optimize your product pages and get them listed on your store. So Nar, I'm ready when you are. We're here at the drafts section of our store. These products are not live yet. They're waiting for optimization or for importing to your store. So now Nar is going to click the button and we're going to see how fast those products are going to be added to the draft section of our stores. All right. All right. Are you ready to run? I'm ready. Perfect. Let's do it. So I will go here to the other scan. I will pick the one here just for this example. I'm going to send all of them. Okay. It's 89 product. Okay. Are you ready? All right. 89 products. Here we go. I will check I will check out the restricted keywords. We'll only leave the exclusive brands. I'll click the upload listings and here we go. All right. So here you can see create draft zero out of 60 in progress. And you can see that the number is starting to go up. We're already at 20. Now sometimes you may see it going up in less than even five seconds. And sometimes it can take one minute. It really depends on the product. It really depends on what you're grabbing. But hey, in the 30 seconds, one minute that we're talking that I'm talking right now, we've already pretty much finished the drafts creation process 55 and we're almost at 60. So it really took just a few seconds on the clock to get all of those 60 products. Now once again, you can find even much, much faster speeds and you can find speeds that could take you up to a minute or two, but it is not going to take longer than that. So if you're here to just import a few products or if you're here to import hundreds or thousands of products, that is going to take you seconds or minutes at the most if you're really importing thousands at one time. But the drafts creation is now complete and we can start optimizing the products. So let's go ahead and begin. I'm going to choose any product here. And I'm going to show you guys, let's just refresh it. And I'm going to show you guys how easy it is to really get the optimization going. So let's choose any one of these products here. Let's go with, let me just show them to another page. I just want to grab an item that I really like. So okay, let's go with this kids building dinosaur toy. Okay, so okay, you know what? Let's go with this vacuum insulated stainless steel water bottle because there's so much of them. So this is an item that you're going to find quite a lot and you want to differentiate yourself. You want to make it look better than other product pages. Now here we need to split it into two. Some people do not want to optimize their product pages and that's fine, especially actually only if you're going with the bulk method. And if you're going with the bulk method and you're importing thousands of products to your store right now, then it makes sense to not optimize every product page, which could take you lots of valuable time. And even if you have a VA virtual assistant to do it, it's still going to cost you a lot of time and money for them to optimize each and every product when you have thousands and thousands of them. So what bulk importers usually do is they wait to get a sale and only once and after they get a sale on a product, only then will they jump into that product page and optimize it. Other people who are not importing thousands of products who are importing tens or hundreds of products, but not in the thousands, you definitely have the time to optimize your product pages and it will definitely undoubtedly significantly increase your chances of closing that sale because now you have a product page that is not copied and pasted that doesn't already exist out there. So here's exactly how we're going to do that, no matter if you're the bulk importer or the single product importer. So first things first, in the draft section, I click on this drop-down menu right here and we have the products information. So we have the products title, we have the category that belongs to everything here, of course, was automated. We didn't have to do anything. We simply imported from our product research on Zik Analytics now to the draft section of our store. The draft section means that it's not published yet, only once we are done optimizing and we click on the import button right here, only then will it import to your store. It'll move from the draft to the product section and then you know that it's live in your store and anyone can go in and purchase it. But until then, let's see what are the best ways to optimize our product page. Now in this example, we're dropping on eBay and eBay, one of the most important things is the product's title. The more relevant your title is to what the search, to what the online shopper is searching for, the closer it is, the higher the chances that you're going to be ranked on the front page. Now, of course, there are other things on eBay's Kazini, eBay's algorithm to be able to rank well. For example, once you start having a sales history, eBay is naturally and organically going to upgrade you further and further higher up on their search engine, even if your title wasn't that good, even if you could have made it better. If your product is relevant to a target audience, if a lot of people are clicking on it and a lot of people are adding it to their watching list, it also helps you rank higher on eBay's search engine. But you want to start with a good title because this is the first thing that's going to get the online shopper to your listing, to have your listing on the front page and not page two or three where the online shopper will never make it. So of course, product research is really, really important. It's the number one most important thing because if you're not importing the right products, they're simply not going to sell. But now you want to increase the chances of that happening once you're done doing that great product research that you did from Zik Analytics. So here's what you're going to do. First things first, like I said, the most important thing is the product's title. So you have the maximum amount of characters on eBay's title, which you can see right here is 80. And right now we've used up 70 of that space, but we're not going to keep this title. So first things first, I want to open up this product on the supplier's website and see what I can do there. See what other information I can get on this product. So I'm going to click right here on View Source Product and it took me directly to the product on Amazon because in this case, of course, we did the product research from Amazon. So you can see that first of all, this is a very good product. It's got 485 ratings, four and a half stars and up. A lot of people are purchasing this product and it also has lots of different variations. So that's great. This is a good product to test out with. So let's see what we can do to optimize the product's title. First things first, we can see that the seller added his name to the beginning of the product's title, which is something that 90 plus percent of the Amazon sellers do. So his name is Camelback Eddie Plus. And he started the title with Eddie Plus. We don't need a seller's title. So we're just going to remove that. Now we want to keep only the main keywords that really describe what this product is in the best way possible, starting with what the product is and then added features and other things. So we're not going to start with stainless steel. We're going to start with, in this case, insulated water bottle or water bottle and then insulated. But I would go as far as to say insulated water bottle, stainless steel. Okay, we'll also keep a vacuum because it has the vacuum effect, which could be something that people are looking for. And 32 ounces is something that people also search for. Some people search for 16 ounces. Some will search for 25 and some will search for the standard 32. So we're going to keep that in the title. Excuse me. So we're going to keep that in the title and let's see what else because everything else is not really relevant. Look at the title. What is Larkspur? What is this product ID or number right here? It doesn't have anything to do with the title. And I guarantee that no one on eBay is searching for this or there's no reason to keep that on your product's title. But let's see what other words we can come up with. So right now, we've used up 52 out of 80 characters that we can on the title. Now let's make the best of it. So we know that it's a water bottle. We wrote down that it's a water bottle. We can write the variations color. So in this case, we're looking at a blue. So what I'm going to do is I'm also going to add blue because people, of course, who are searching for a specific color are going to write the color that they're searching for. Okay. Let's see what else we know. First, we want to look at the product's features. So let's read really quickly about the item. 25% more flow, leak proof. We can maybe add leak proof. Okay. Some people could be searching for that, but we're not sure yet. So let's leave that on the side for now. Vacuum insulated. We already got that. It stays dry. We're not going to write that. Easy to carry. No. And outdoor lifestyle sport type. So those are not keywords that people are most likely going to search up. How do you know what people are going to search up?  You've got a pretty good eBay title builder over there. So I'm going to grab some more keywords from there. And from whatever is missing in the end, I'm going to make up for it. So let me show you how that's done. First, back to Zech. We've got the title builder right here on the left side. Okay. So I'm going to keep the location on the US, the date range from the last 30 days. eBay is my marketplace. Exclude phrases if you want to exclude any keywords. But in this case, I'm looking for water bottle. Okay. That's the title. That's the product. Don't add features. Just what is the product that you're trying to sell? Okay. I'm going to search for that. And here I'm sure that we're going to see insulated and we're going to see other things too. So let's take a look. Okay. So first you've got long tail keyword idea. So this is more than one word that's being put together. So water bottle switch, bottle switch pump. It's not a pump. So we're not going to add that water bottle with so people are searching for water bottle with something motivational water bottle. That's the water bottles that have motivational speeches printed on them, bottle with time, water bottle cage. So in this case, we don't really have anything that's relevant. Let's move to the one keyword ideas, the keywords that people are searching a lot for. So for example, you can see that almost 200,000 people in the last month search for the word bottle and the word bottle has almost 3000 sales on it. So yeah, people like people are searching for bottle and they're selling it and they're buying it. But that's not enough. Of course, you're not going to be able to rank only with bottle. So water is also so we've already got that gallon. Well, we put the ounces free that has nothing with free. Let's see if it has a straw. Yeah, so it's not exactly a straw, but it's not exactly a straw with motivational switch pump electric. So in this case, let's move to the second page because there's still a lot of searches here automatic universal dispenser steel. So stainless steel. Let's see if we added stainless steel to the title. Yes. Okay. So we added that. That's good. So we've already got pretty much here and insulated to. So we've got all of the important keywords. Okay. Also from Zik. So we already had that in the title. Now, where are we still going to make up what we're missing? Here's one of my personal tips. What I like to do is I like to go to the product rating. Okay. I want to read the customer reviews because one of the things that Amazon does and even if you're not using Amazon as your supplier, some people like to use wholesale suppliers. Some people know how to drop from these wholesale suppliers like Amazon. But in this case, what I like to do is you see that they have all of the reviews that mentioned and you have all of these buttons with words. Many times I come up with really good words, really good keywords to add to my title from what people are writing in their reviews. So these are words that are being repeated in the reviews. And if I can find anything from here, I'm definitely going to add that to my title because of people are typing that this is what they like about the water bottle. Then this could also be what people are searching when they're searching for a specific water bottle. So here we've got leak proof. And remember that we spoke about with leak proof. We said, we'll put it on the side. We're not sure if people are searching for it. This is going to give you a better indication because if you've got leak proof right here and if you click on it, you can see what people are saying. So I love it. It's insulated. It holds 32 ounces. It has a handle. It's easy to clean and leak proof. Handle could also be a good word. But this is another, this is a great way to add more words that are relevant. Okay, this is one of my personal strategies that I have no problem sharing with you guys because like I said, thank you. Like I said, product research is really important and you don't want to miss out on this. So if you're not dropshipping from Amazon, you can still use them to search for a specific product that you're getting from another supplier to see what people are searching for on that product and what they're saying about it. But if you, if you're going to another supplier like AliExpress or Walmart or anyone else, and you're reading the reviews and you don't have this, the repeated keywords that people are writing, right? Just go over the reviews, okay, read the top 10, top 20 reviews and look for patterns in the words that they're writing. Okay, so that's another strategy. So I'm going to add leak proof and we'll still have more room. Leak proof. Let's see what other words we can get from the reviews. Water bottle, drinks, cold, bite valve, bite valve might be something. Let's see what people are saying about that bite valve. So it's not a straw in this case. It's a bite valve. Let's see. And biteable valve. I like the biteable bite valve. The bite valve is great. Yep, let's go ahead. People could search for something that they like. So with bite valve, remember that from Zik, we said that people like with or and right. So people are actually adding that to the titles. But the thing is here now we've got 83 characters out of 80. So we're going to have to remove one word. And when this comes, it's this is always the right way to do it first exceed and then remove the weakest keywords. So from this title, let's see what we came up with. Insulated water bottle, stainless steel vacuum, 32 ounces, blue, leak proof with bite valve. What is the weakest link here? What do you guys think? I think it's the word with because I mean, people are searching for it, but it doesn't describe the product and you want more words describing the product. You can't rank for the words with. So I'm going to remove that, but we still have two more characters. So I will, let's see. That's not going to give us enough. So we're going to leave it like that. So 78 out of 80. So far, I'm going to save the draft just because I like saving every few minutes. So we've got a perfect title for this product. Let's move on. Next, we've got category. So in this case, the auto DS system first, first of all, of course, automates everything. So it automated the category in bicycle accessories slash water bottles. Now I'm sure that there are other categories that it could fit under, but bicycle access accessories is actually a good one. It could also be maybe home appliances or anything like that, but it also matches this. So we're going to keep it under bicycle accessories slash water bottles. Then you've got the products tags. And this is something that you do want to add. First, you have the automated, you know, what the system was able to automate for you. So we've got sports and outdoors, sports and outdoor recreation accessories and sports water bottles. That's great. Now, if you can think of a category that you can categorize this product so that you'll be able to later on come back to the product section of your store and say, I want to analyze how well water bottles sold on my store. I'm selling a whole bunch of products, but right now I only want to see the performance of my water bottles. Okay, we're right before summer. People are going to start, you know, going out on bike rides, traveling and they're going to need water bottles. So let's see, let's analyze how well this went for me and let's see what other products, what other water bottles we need to add. So what you want to do here is think of one category that you can add water bottles. Now in this case, we already have it. We've got sports water bottles, but if you didn't have a good tag, or let's say if you want to try this out, like if you want to add this to a summer products analysis, what you're going to do here is add a new tag called summer products. Then I'm going to click here on the plus and now it was also added as a tag. Then later on, what you're going to do is you're going to go to the product section. Okay, you're going to go to the products menu of your store. In this case, we still didn't add any, so I won't be able to filter it, but let's see. No, we won't be able to show it here. Okay, never mind, scratch that. But what you'll be able to do is go to the product section of your store and then you'll be able to filter a tag called summer products. And then I'll only see the products that have that tag and I'll be able to analyze it really, really well. Okay, so that's regarding product tags. Then you've got policies, payment policies, return policies. I'm not going to go over that in this video. You've got item location. And then you've got the monitoring. So do I want stock monitoring? Do I want price monitoring? Do I want automatic orders? I highly suggest using all of them. So of course, price and stock monitoring means that if the price changes on your supplier's website, it'll also change accordingly on your Autodesk system and on your eBay store or wherever you are selling. If the price has changed, that change will happen on your store. If the stock status changed, it'll also happen on your store. So you won't have to worry about selling products that are not in stock and you won't have to worry about selling products that now the supplier raised the price and now you didn't make any profit and you'll have to lose money. And automatic orders of course will automate your orders as soon as they come in. So even while you travel, even while you're asleep, even while you're in the middle of a vacation, you're making sales, that that sell is going to happen automatically. The product is going to ship from the supplier to the end customer and you won't have to do a thing about it. So all of that is automated with automatic tracking number updates. So all of that, of course, we're going to keep it on. Let's continue with the product optimization. So now we're on the product subscription. The product subscription is important. It's not as important as the product's title, but it is important nonetheless. You don't want it to look unprofessional. You don't want spacing issues. You want it to look good. And most of the sellers, even on Amazon, you have a lot of Chinese sellers there. A lot of products that you see on Amazon, you'll also see a cheaper on Aliexpress or on Alibaba because what people did was they reached out to the manufacturer in Alibaba and they said, hey, can you create 50 units of this and send it to my Amazon warehouse? And that's exactly what they do. That's how most of the products arrive to Amazon. Many of them are from Chinese sellers and you can see that by going to their storefront on Amazon. Look at the business's name and address and you can see where they're coming from. So many of these Chinese sellers don't have good product descriptions. And that happens a lot on Amazon. So you do want to go in and you do want to make sure that that spelling is right, the grammar is right. And sometimes on Amazon, you can find even more images down below in the product's description like these right here that you can also add. So what I'm going to do is I'm simply going to highlight it. I'm going to copy, go back to the product description, come down here and paste all those images. So that took me about a couple of seconds and now I've got a much better looking product page. So of course I'm going to go over the spelling, the punctuation, the grammar, but for now I'm going to save the draft and continue. You can also select what template you want to use for this product page. You also have free templates on AutoDS, so no worries. And in this case, we didn't say that we want to import variations, but in the settings of AutoDS, you can also say that you want to import variations. And then in that case, what's going to happen is all of these variations are going to import to your store. But if that didn't happen or if you want to add your own variations, you can always do that. And this is one of the best tips that I can give you here to really differentiate yourself. So let's say you added these variations or let's say the seller only had one variation and you want other 32 ounce water bottles. Now it needs to be the same because the title is not going to change. So you want to have the same product, so 32 ounce water bottles right here. And let's say I want to add this one because this one I've got like the measurements here and it's pretty cool. So let's say you want to add that this is a variation. So what I'm going to do is I'm simply going to copy the URL, head back to the variations and here I'm going to click on add variants and I'm going to paste it right here. It just took the product ID from the URL and added it here. Then I'm going to click on add variant. Now what's going to happen is I'm going to have another variation to this product and nobody else is going to have this and nobody else is going to have this variation. So nobody else is going to have a product page with these variations and this way you can really differentiate yourself from the competition. You can add as many variants as you want and inside the edit section you can edit the fees so your break even, how much you want to profit in percentages, how much you want to profit in fixed dollar amounts and if you want to include the shipping price. So if the supplier charges you $5 for shipping it's going to be automatically calculated into your source price and then you'll still make the same amount of profit that you want while you will offer free shipping to your customers. So that's another thing there and you've got the general so what you want the variance name to be, the color, the quantity, the weight but everything was automated so we really don't really have to do anything here. So I'm going to close that then you've got the products images. So all of the images from the insulator from the blue insulated water bottle are right here so of course you don't have to download and reupload and do all of that and you've got an advanced image editor so I just click on edit and now you're going to see this advanced image editor right here where I can do a whole bunch of things like add text. I can add more images. I can add a watermark. I can add my branding. I can pretty much do whatever I want here so I can write just for example free shipping. I'm not really optimizing and I'm just showing you guys really quick and of course you can play around with the sizes and just pretty much feel free to do whatever you want. Make yourself different from the competition. I've already said that a few times. It's very, very crucial. Lastly you have item specifications. Okay so the item specifications once again are automated. I didn't add all of these and they're being taken from the category so if you're not in the right category you're going to see some weird item specifications but here for example it makes sense. So you've got the volume. You can click on the edit button right here to write whatever you want and then the style. So we've got 32 ounces. The capacity is two pounds. The color, I don't know what larks per is but it's actually blue. The material stainless steel and special features that it has. Now you can of course add more item specifications add as many as you want. The more you add the better because you're answering questions that the customers might want to ask and many times they may be too shy to ask or they simply won't do it and you'll miss that sale. But if you answer their question before they even asked it that increases the chance of them purchasing the product from your store. Once you are done optimizing the product page and really making it unique, really making it stand out, no other seller will have the same product page as you and as long as you did your product research correct on Zik Analytics and remember guys product research it requires practice. You're not going to sell the first product that you found and you may not even sell the 10th or the 20th first product the first 20 products that you found. It's going to take some time but the more time you put into it the more you research the more you get serious in the business of product research I guarantee the results will start to follow and once they start to follow once you get your first sale first of all you'll be excited you'll get that small feeling of I just made money online and I did it my way and right here you're going to want scale it you're going to want to do it more and that's when it's going to start you know like like an avalanche it's going to just start getting bigger and bigger and better and better because you're getting better at product research you know what categories are selling more and you know how to optimize your product pages you know how to automate your product research research with Zik and from here it's all going to look pretty good but put the work hours down if it was really easy if it was too good to be true then it would have been it's not too good to be true with the right amount of research you will make it so remember this guys a lot of people usually after trying once or twice and not seeing any results they end up quitting and that is really sad for me to see because I see what happens on the other side to those that simply don't give up they put a few hours down and they finally start seeing those results amazing presentation liran thank you so much this was really great and guys thank you so much for watching there is anything else you want to add oh yes yes yes there is the special offer we have for the guys right we did it also on the live but I mean let's give them second chance let's give it here too let's give it here too okay so so what we're going to give here and only to people who are watching this video and we're going to share the links under this video what you're going to get if you sign up to autods and to zik well now I will say zik side but if you sign up to autods you will get a 50 discount for the first three months for the monthly subscription for the yearly subscription because you watched this video because you're serious about this business because we want to show you how it can and will work when you really work hard on the product research section of your store and you will see the results I want you to see it I want you to grab that 50 offer enjoy your first three months and then hey decide if this is good for you after three months of hard work believe me you will stay so use the promo code right below this video in the description that is what you're getting from autods nar thank you absolutely great offer liran and the same goes for zik analytics you get 50 off for the first three months whether you take monthly or yearly we leave you the coupon codes below in the description in both videos and thank you so much liran it was great guys if you have any questions you can always leave questions on the comment below we will answer your questions and do you want to add anything else before we finish guys for more content check out zik analytics youtube channel check out our youtube channel do not forget to subscribe this is where you're going to get the best drop shipping knowledge out there go ahead check it out and like nar said if you have any questions any comments any suggestions let us know in the comments below and we will personally answer thank you for watching and best of luck with your product research

Taylor oh then you yeah I thought I'd better let you know this is the kind of situation that might mess up the whole series now we've always enjoyed playing the blue socks and we'd like to see it continue but of course I'll try to straighten them out I'll try don't worry sergeant yeah sure well it's all on mr. Taylor see you at the next game when you've been in the army as long as I have you get to learn about men and from what I saw of Bert especially with those barbells I thought I was beginning to understand him I knew it might take time before I was sure but I still hope his father would be able to straighten him out though sometimes the closer you are the less able you are to get a perspective but the next game between the blue socks and our team I went along before the game got underway hey sergeant Parker yes Bert what is it listen if you've got something to pick on me for why don't you come to me I didn't pick on you oh come on cut the stalling you went and blabbed to my own man the other day didn't you I wouldn't call it blabbing maybe you don't but I do listen sergeant I'm big enough to handle my own affairs the next time you got anything to say about me don't go behind my back hold it hold it boy there's nothing I said to your father that I wouldn't say to you well why didn't you then when the time comes I will you can bank on that yes sure but if you do keep it short the game started soon after that and it was in the first inning that it happened we were at bat and smithy would been on first with a walk tried to steal second he slipped into the bag and Bert came down with the ball right on the back of smithy's neck with full force I jumped out of the dugout but before I could get there mr. Taylor was there ahead of me I've had enough Bert going back to the bench you're out of the game for the first time I saw a new birth the real one and from what I saw if anyone ever needed help it was he you were listening to the proudly we hail production the second look we'll return to our story in just a moment young fella how about this hurry on down to the local army recruiting station that's right I said the army recruiting station since you have to plan for military service your army recruiter is a good man to know here's why only the army offers you so many different ways to choose how you'll serve before you enlist for example he'll show you how high school graduates can pick their own technical training from more than 150 different courses he'll get you a written guarantee that a place in the class is reserved for you all before you enlist or your recruiter can get you into the army branch of your choice armor artillery infantry engineers name the branch you want and it's yours or your army recruiter can even help you get your choice of overseas assignment army personnel travel to many exciting places all over the world believe me if you want to choose the way you serve before you enlist your army recruiter offers you the best deal in town see him right away there's no obligation get the facts on your future you'll get choice not chance from your army recruiter you're listening to proudly we hail and now we present the final act of the second look and so when he laid that heavy tag on Corporal Smith there was a wholesale blowing of tops his own teammates walked off the field refused to play anymore so the game was called and that's the way it was Captain Jackson it's too bad he's into a sports contest between the post and town of always been fine way to promote good relations yes sir they have it's good for our men to know the people of the town appreciate them as human beings as well as soldiers I'm sure of it and that's why I think it might be a good idea to suspend the games suspend them sir hmm just for a while in the interest of harmony until a solution can be found what do you think well sir here's the way I look at it I believe a person should learn to live with the community rather than the community learning to live with him like we do in the army and you think I think Bert will learn soon he's beginning to already but if we suspend the games he may not get a chance I see all right Sergeant if you think so you've been close to the situation and I have carry on as you see fit thank you sir now to get on to something else we are getting that tank sent to us for the weekend exhibit oh glad to hear it sir should prove to be very interesting it is they sent me a list of the tanks crew's names and the awards they received for the combat action plus a story of how they earned their medals thanks great reading here listen to this the tank commander a lieutenant platoon leader stood up in his open turret with his tanks right tread was inoperative and directed his fire and an advancing force of at least company size well it did make a great story listening to the exploits of our army men in Korea and fighting against overwhelming odds against a treacherous enemy but still fighting with honor never stooping to dishonorable means to achieve their objective and as I listen to the captain an idea began to form my mind or maybe I should say the beginning of my sergeant these were men that is they are men as a good possibility the Pentagon will arrange for the same crew members of the tank to be here this weekend well I hope so sir I'd certainly like to meet them by two in any event arranged to have somebody stationed at the tank to tell a story of it and its crew to the spectators that come this weekend right sir it'll be either Corporal Smith or myself fine I've got to get over to headquarters for staff meeting see you later sergeant yes sir hello mr. Taylor sergeant Parker sergeant Parker how are you I'm fine thanks say mr. Taylor you having a get-together with your team anytime within the near future yes a matter of fact uh-huh where they'll be on my front porch at eight o'clock well do you mind if I drop in on you about then I don't need to do that everything will work out all right well I'll see you then eight o'clock it's not a very pleasant task that I've set for myself but it's one that I've got to do I oh hello sergeant Parker I I'll just grab a corner of the steps here mr. Taylor don't let me interrupt okay sergeant now fellas I want to keep this team together and I know now there's only one way to do it even if it hurts I've already talked to Bert yeah and it's all right with me if you can't behave like man bird I'll handle them I've asked Bert to leave the team Joe Perkins will take his place at second okay with you fellas now while the team put its heads together I kept my eye on birth I really he didn't seem to care if he was on the team or not but I could see that he was upset because the team was giving him the cold shoulder ignoring him completely okay mr. Taylor yeah well okay fellas it's settle then okay fellas that's all mr. Taylor you mind if I say a word or two not at all thanks say fellas and I'm glad you made a decision to continue and I know the post team will be too but that's not what I came here to tell you as you probably know the post is holding an army day open house this weekend and I want to invite you all to come out Saturday morning as my guests have some things I especially want to show you that okay all right fine fine and since I know most of you are planning on enlisting as soon as you're out of high school I think maybe you'll get something extra out of it now my invitation goes for everybody here everybody as I spoke I looked directly at Bert but he turned his back on me and walked into the house and it was then I figured my idea was going to fail because if there was anyone I wanted to show up at that open house it was Bert I sat in the morning the whole team arrived right and early but no bird hi Serge we're all here okay fellas all right first let's go over to that tent where all the weapons used in army training are on display I got quite a kick out of their enthusiasm as they looked at the equipment but I sort of kept watching out the door for Bert hoping that he'd still show up the caliber water cooled heavy machine gun either time the fellas had seen everything in the tent I gave up hope it was one time in my life that I was really disappointed it was great Serge and where do we go now let's go over to the parade ground and take a look at the haymaker haymaker yeah that's the nickname of a medium tank that landed the haymaker of a blow at the enemy in Korea the very same tank you see there that's a Corporal Smith tell us about it for 12 hours they stuck to their disabled tank fighting off wave after wave of enemy infantry until finally there were no more after partially repairing their damaged tread they hobbled along toward an ordinance repair station in the rear on their way they happened upon a badly wounded enemy soldier they could have gone on to leave him to die but they didn't picked him up brought him back to the aid station see even in war a man's game there is such a thing as fair play the names of that crew are engraved in brass plates here on the side of the tank take a good look at them and if you will remember them they helped to make it possible for us to be standing here now like this in peace that's all okay fellas now if you like you hey bird I didn't see you how long you've been standing here I've been here a while well I'm glad you came oh as I was about to say fellas you can go inside the tank and take a look if you want to after that I throw them to the machine gun field firing range and the rocket launcher range and the 81 millimeter mortar range and then back to an area where a dry run hand grenade throwing demonstration was set up it is the same hand grenade used in Korea right Sarge yes Perkins now listen to the commands stand open just as the soldiers prepared to throw the wind which was pretty strong at the moment blue Perkins hat from his head out into the field throw instinctively Perkins chased after his hat just as the throwers let go but Bert like a flash was out on the field and with the full backs headlong leap knock Perkins into a depression in the ground jumping on top of him to protect him from what Bert thought would be the shrapnel of the exploding grenades but of course there weren't any explosions hey bird what are you doing hey but those were only dummy grenades and then right Sarge that's right but you mean what a jerk I am you could have at least told me I'm sorry bird I thought you heard yeah sure thanks for the ride Sarge I won't forget it hey Bert come back but he took off his face red with embarrassment I continued with the tour and at the end of it saw the blue socks off from their home with bound bus Sarge thanks for showing us what goes into the making of a soldier I think I'm speaking for just about all of us when I say that better start ordering some uniforms that we can get into when we take our blue socks uniforms off for good you bet Perkins for these uniforms it takes the man to fit them but I'm sure you will when the time comes so long that evening I drove downtown to deliver a new issue of special services dance recordings to the USO Club and on the way back I saw the very guy I was thinking about Bert Taylor walking down Main Street toward the bus station with a suitcase in his hand hey Bert oh what is it Sergeant come on come on sit down for a minute unless you're in a hurry all right are you going on a trip you could call it dad a long trip where to anywhere just as long as it's away from here oh well is that what you wanted to know are you satisfied now stay here but I want to say something to you it'll only take a minute first your dad's one of the finest and on the level men I've ever met second you're making a mistake in running away that won't solve anything and third I know the real reason you're doing this oh yeah yeah you're a big fella Bert 180 pounds of brawn and somehow you've got the idea that because you're big on the outside you have to try to live up to us but you've been doing it the wrong way kid anyhow there's no need to prove it not after what happened out there on the post today I'll say Sergeant I know that I make you did the right thing no no I mean sure you did let me tell you something you don't know the lieutenant the commander of that tank the haymaker yeah well he's a major now and he arrived at the post just before we got to the grenade range and he was driving past when you ran out to save your buddy oh no oh yes and I met him later you know what he said he said meaning you that's the kind of man who would fit right in with his crew okay that's all I wanted to say you can take it from there Bert good night well it's been a year since then and here in the courthouse there's a special ceremony that'll take place any minute now that's wearing in at the 1000th and listee from the town since our post was activated here the town newspapers are covering the story but the story behind the story is also important because the unless he is Bert and the administrator of the oath by a special arrangement of the post special services headquarters will be the major who commanded the haymaker and there he is now raising his right hand and holding the Bible and the other repeat this after me I Bert Taylor do solemnly swear I Bert Taylor do solemnly swear I will bear true faith and allegiance that I will bear as he takes the oath I see his father standing behind him proud of his son and in a way I'm just as proud that all statements given by me and stated in my records are true and correct congratulations Bert if there's anyone who has the makings of a soldier in them it's you thanks Sarge I'm gonna try I hope one day I'll fit the uniform the way you do young men today's United States Army is made up of skilled technicians and

Today I'm delighted to announce that the province is contributing $7.3 million to build affordable low-income housing for single moms here in the Tri-Cities. And when it's complete, it will provide a safe and affordable place for single mothers and their children to call home. It will be a place where there are supportive services that can help families stabilize, find a new path and move on to a better life. I am so proud of projects like these because they aren't just about bricks and mortar. They are about families. It's a project for women with single moms with kids who are basically putting our families first in BC and living up to our housing agenda that puts those in need at the front of a line for projects like this so we can help them turn their lives around and have a better life. The YWCA has provided me with the freedom to gain my independence with my daughter in affordable housing and to enjoy the comfortable living in nice housing apartments. Because of all the support that my daughter and myself have received, I have been able to focus on the future. We were very fortunate to be able to get a commitment from the City of Coquitlam to provide land at nominal value to build this housing project. We were also very fortunate to attract an interest minister, Rich Coleman, in this project. He's provided really outstanding support for the expansion of affordable housing throughout this province and we appreciate that so much. I have a potted apple tree plant that I'm going to present to Janet Austin. Now this plant is important because it will be planted on this site and it will bear fruit just like the work here will bear fruit. It won't be fruit that will stay on this site forever, but it will be fruitful in terms of the incredible benefit to the families who are able to stabilize and find a way forward to something better because of their time that they were able to spend here at Como Lake Gardens.


If, indeed, there once was, as we often postulate, an incredibly capable ancient civilization, which after their mysterious demise over the following eons has become lost upon our planet, dependent upon the time in which this occurred and the more which passes, one would expect to find less and less evidence to support their once existence. If this people created monumental structures, somehow effortlessly carved or built from the bedrocks and cliff faces of Earth, then these remnants would logically outlast any of the biodegradable objects left by this mysterious people, which would have long ago been consumed by entropy. These stones would be their final remaining mark upon our planet, cast in stone for many more years. These structures, we are convinced, exist all over the Earth, most attributed to civilizations within known history, who were often simply incapable of completing these tasks, and the castles of Eagle is no exception. According to academia, the Eagle Stone castles were built by Assyrians in 5000 BC. During its life, the castle would have been an extremely formidable fortress. It was surrounded by walls which have partially survived. Interestingly, excavations made in 1946 suggested that the castle might actually date back far before 5000 BC, with dates of 20,000 BC or more showing up on several occasions. A lot of local carved caves, which were once inhabited around the castle, nearly all date to this period. Could this dating be a more realistic proposition? Could Eagle Castle, an entire structure once masterfully hewn from a solid chunk of bedrock, actually be a pre-Diluvium ruin? Like many of the other formidable, and for their functioning lives, virtually impenetrable fortresses, Eagle has been the cradle of many civilizations. Assyrians, Utarians, Byzantine Empire, Roman Empire, and even the Ottoman Empire, all exploited this once grand ancient fortress. Who built Eagle Castle? When did they build it? How did they build it? How did a civilization within our distant past manage to create such astonishing structures, either with enormous stones or out of them? They seemingly mastered the art of stone masonry at a very early time in our history, and thanks to this, their legacy lives on to this day. Tokyo's Imperial Palace, home of the Japanese Emperor and a place which holds many secrets. Some it seems hidden in plain sight for countless centuries. For many years people have visited this marvelous building, and the perfectly kept grounds it is placed within to gaze and wonder at the beauty of this ancient building and garden. What is interesting regarding its historical history is the fact that much of it is hidden and yet to be told. The oldest historical accounts for the palace date back to 1457 AD, when a great warrior known as Edo Shigetsugu built the castle Edo on the site. Edo's clan would perish in the 15th century as a result of uprisings in the Kanto and Ota-Dokan regions of Japan. However, what is interesting regarding the palace's construction is its foundations. Including the exterior wall, which many now believe was already in existence before the castle's construction, and also the reason the site was chosen all those years ago by the warrior Edo himself. The construction techniques visible in the original construction are clearly evidence of highly advanced building techniques, completed by a clearly highly advanced civilization. And these methods used within the foundations were not replicated throughout the more recent structure, as if forgotten between builds. Additionally, a piece of artificial evidence was recently covered. A highly compelling building technique, which unquestionably links many ancient sites to one another, found all over the world, showing an intercontinental sharing of building knowledge many millennia ago. Known as the missing metal clamps, their carved seeds still present upon many of the most ancient stonework at the palace, eroded away metal clamps used to keep the stones firmly in place as they settled over the following years after construction. Present at countless sites across the world, a technique somehow shared worldwide, only differing from country to country in their process of manufacture. The evidence to suggest that the palace of Japan is in fact built upon a far older and possibly once far more spectacular structure seems overwhelming. What questions remain, most obvious of which, who built the structure to begin with? When did they build it, and what was its purpose? Thankfully, the more we understand regarding the perplexing techniques used by this elusive, yet clearly once highly advanced civilization, the more of these ruins we are seemingly spotting, allowing for their study and subsequent preservation before lost forever. Thanks for watching guys, and until next time, take care. Scotland is a country which holds many mysterious tales of ancient beings who were said to once dwell within the astonishingly beautiful highlands. From fairies to ancient sea monsters, many a legend is said to be found here, including the odd piece of compelling evidence to back up such claims. However, our next Scottish mystery of focus is abundant with evidence. In fact, the evidence left surrounding this mysterious ancient technology is actually the mystery itself. Over 200 years ago, archaeologists exploring the ancient ruins found to dot the rural countryside began to notice a remarkable characteristic of about 60 mysterious structures found dotting the Scottish highlands. Made using rocks with no mortar, instead, the rocks on the outer layer of these structures upon completion went through an as yet unknown process of vitrification. The builders of these extreme ancient forts were somehow able to heat the stones to such a degree that the outer layer actually turned to glass, fixing the stones in place and making them virtually impenetrable to erosion, meaning that the true age of these miraculous structures may be far, far older than we are led to believe. Although for the first 250 years of study, these forts were presumed to have been exclusive to Scotland, thanks to the results of the research they have actually begun to turn up in other regions of the world, most specifically Western Europe. With such overwhelming evidence in the face of adversity, academia it would seem have reluctantly been resigned to agreement with the extremely controversial facts displayed within these ancient stone forts. Quote, no lime or cement has been found in any of these structures, all of them presenting the peculiarity of being more or less consolidated by the fusion of the rocks of which they are built. This fusion, which has been caused by the application of intense heat, is not equally complete in the various forts, or even in the walls of the same fort. In some cases, the stones are only partially melted and calcined. In others, their adjoining edges are fused so that they are firmly cemented together. In many instances, pieces of rock are enveloped in a glassy enamel-like coating, which binds them into a uniform hole, and at times, though rarely, the entire length of the wall presents one solid mass of vitreous substance. It is not clear why or how the walls were subjected to vitrification, end quote. Although the explanation put forward after examining these facts could be seen as a desperate attempt to continue to deny the existence of a highly aware, highly capable, intercontinental ancient civilization, which once flourished here on our planet. Who built these forts? Clearly advanced yet ancient heat technology did they use to turn the outer casing stones to glass. With the pace of such discoveries being revealed to the world increasing, it is only a matter of time before we find out.
