So this is Development Review Board for Burlington July 6th, I mean, and we will get started. We take up items that as they are on the agenda. And when we call each item, we ask those who are going to participate either as public or as the applicant to indicate to Scott and he will admit people to the meeting. As needed, I will swear people in. Communications are all online at this point. Actually, on the agenda, I should say one thing that the 139 Forster Street is withdrawn. Is that right? Yeah. If anybody's here for 139 Forster Street, we won't be talking about that tonight. Okay. Minutes, I think, I don't see Joe here right now, but I think I did sign most of the, as Joseph, I think I did sign most of the old minutes. Maybe you could have a backlog. I know he's working on it, Brad. All right. I thought we're pretty close. Well, we'll see. Okay. So then with that, we get to our first item, which is a Consent Agenda Item 160 Flynn Avenue, a Switchback Beer Works for External Brain Siloes. Is that the applicant? Tyler? Yes. Tyler Barnard is here. I don't know if Gretchen Langfeld is on webinar, is on Zoom or not. Yes, I'm here as well, Tyler. Okay. So this is recommended for consent. Did you see the staff's recommendations? I think we did. I reviewed them. I don't see any issue with them. I'll let Gretchen speak if she has any. Yeah, no, everything looks good to me. We'll object to treating this as a consent item. And is anybody in the public here to speak on this item, Scott? I'd like to speak on this item. Raise your hand now. 160 Flynn Avenue. 160 Flynn. Nope, it's just the applicant. Okay. So would somebody make a motion on 160 Flynn Avenue? So moved that we approve the application at 160 Flynn Avenue and adopts desk findings and recommendations. Seconds, seconds. Any discussion? All in favor? And do we lose Chase? Chase go. He said, where did Chase go? Yeah, I know. So it's approved for zero, but I don't know what happened to Chase. Okay. Well, anyway, Tyler, you're all set. You're approved. Thank you, Brad. I did have one quick question. The zoning application mentions that there might be a third silo that goes in at some point in the future. I was wondering if there's any, if you have any advice about that, if it would be like a quick zoning approval, like administrative approval for that, or if we'd have to come back through this whole process? I would say talk to Scott or who did you deal with this application? Okay. Ryan, when you're ready to do that. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thanks. Thank you. Okay. And I see Brooks is here. Okay. Welcome, Brooks. Okay. The next application is 58 Hyde Street. Converted one duplex unit with an existing residence to establish a bed and breakfast is the applicant here. I see McCallan Atkins. Is that right? Yes. Yes. I'm present. Okay. Is anybody else here to speak on this application? Just myself. Okay. Anybody from the public? Scott? I'd like to speak on this application. Raise your hand please. I think it's just Mac. Okay. Mac, you need to swear in and affirm that you will tell the truth and hold truth on the pain and penalty of perjury. I swear in. This way you say I do. I do. Okay. I think this is recommended for approval on this. Okay. And I think you have a revised site plan that you submitted on this which shows that you can park that looks like four cars from reading this, right? Yes. That's correct. And I think you also had some comment on when you're not on site. It's the same as the last meeting is that there always be someone on site. And I think you mentioned that when you're not there, you'll have somebody else staying there. Is that the idea? Well, I live there with my girlfriend. So one of us isn't there. One would be present at the residence. And if both of us were gone, we would just not have the upstairs unit available. I see. So if nobody's there to do the parking, you won't be renting it out. Yeah. Brad, the parking became a non-issue with the revised site plan showing two pairs of tandem as opposed to the prior site plan, which showed a longer, a single-width driveway. So they don't need to have... Oh, I thought on-site was just a requirement, but regarding parking, it's not required for someone to be on site for our current layout of the lot, which you'll see on the revised site plan. There can be up to two cars on the left side, which both my girlfriend and I's car would not affect. Okay. Any questions from the board for the applicant? This is sounding fairly straightforward. And unless there's something else that you want to add, we'll close public hearing, and we will probably deliberate on this item at the end of the meeting. Okay? Sounds good. Thank you. Okay, next item is 203 South Cove Road, a Peel of a Zoning Permit, a Decision of Denial. And you are recused on this one, AJ? Yeah. Wait, the South Cove? Yeah. Yeah. This is Stan Weinberger. And is anybody else here besides Stan Weinberger to speak on this? My wife, Christine Weinberger, will be joining momentarily. And nobody from the public, Scott? Jeff Shulman is good as hand up. Anyone else wants to speak on this item? Raise your hand, and I can let you talk as well. So your wife isn't here yet, Stan? She's in the room, Scott. Okay. So I would just swear in, and what's your wife's name, Stan? Oh, there she is. Okay. Christine, is that right? Okay. The thing why we're getting Jeff Shulman, if you would all affirm that you will tell the truth and hold truth on the pain of penalty and perjury. I do. I do. I do. Okay. So... Not seem to be correct. I can only see, okay, all of you. I can't see Stan or Jeff. I'm not seeing them either. I can't see your names. All right. And you're not supposed to see me. Sorry, I've got my camera enabled, but... It's okay. Okay. So, Scott, I always get confused on this one. Is this where you went first? Yeah, it's an appeal of a city decision. So, Ryan would overview it first and then the appellates. Okay. With either thing, and then you guys get into questions. Okay, Ryan, do you want to present? Happy to. Absolutely. So the application to demolish and attached garage at the forefront of the structure was denied based on two reasons. One being the garage itself as it exists is, you know, foremost of the structure, which is, doesn't meet the zoning code for Article 6 and the design standards, which requires that the garage be set back from the front wall of the longest street-facing portion of the principal structure. So there's a lot of garages in this neighborhood, and probably more city-wide, that have old existing garages that are foremost of the main residents toward the street. The proposal to demolish and rebuild in a larger footprint and even closer to the street represents a confliction with the setback standards.  The location is located on a bend in the street, and there are some anomalies with one home in particular that throws the setback standards or requirements pretty far back regardless. But the code requires that the calculation be based on those four neighboring properties. The second reason is that, again, the garage has to be set back behind the longest street-facing wall of the principal structure, which is the house. The proposal to rebuild with a larger two-story with living space upstairs still does not address the fact that it's foremost toward the street than the main residence. The residence behind the garage, as proposed, still has a longer street-facing wall, so that is in conflict with that section as well. So it's denied on those two reasons. The applicants actually submitted, all right, the appellants, just submitted additional petition for your consideration, which I uploaded this morning. It's got today's date on there, so if you want to peruse that, it's there online. I think that covers it. The expanding the footprint is expanding the non-conforming structure. Correct. That's correct. The house. Correct. Is there any, it's a very strange street frontage, I would say. When you look at it, I mean, you know, it's, I mean, just trying to figure out what the setbacks are of the neighboring houses seems, it's difficult. The other side of the street is actually quite regular. Once you get around the corner, this side of the street, is there anything in the zoning ordinance that says something when you don't have enough neighboring houses to evaluate? There is. In this case, there's three, as opposed to four, because one of the four vacant lots, neighboring vacant lots, is vacant. So you take the average of the three neighboring homes. Is that straight out of the zoning rights? Yeah. Is there a limit to, with DRB approval, can we do a variance up to a certain amount on this? Variances go through the DRB. So, yeah, that's true. So, the CDO doesn't have any provision for waiver. Maybe it should, but it doesn't, except for parking waivers. Your variance is a high bar and they could apply for a variance. I raised my hand, but I don't know if you could see it. Yeah, we can, but it's not, we're not up to your part yet. Got it. Thank you. The variance is dedicated on not being able to do anything in compliance. And we've seen those, I think exclusively, where setbacks actually overlap, which can happen, especially on the lakeshore with the regular shoreline versus front-tier setbacks. You know, it's actually impossible in that case to build in compliance, which is not the case here. That's a long answer to a sure, they could apply for a variance. I don't think they meet the criteria. Well, isn't that part of the criteria is, I guess, some of you have none of their Omega, but I guess it's having a two-car garage that makes the setback an issue, the one-car garage. Well, the present configuration is an issue, and I think it's Ryan pointed out in the staff report that could be replaced, as is, with no problem. And the problem arises by making it bigger and closer. It can be replaced as is, and they can put the second floor on it within the footprint. The single-family home, I think it's only on the side and rear setback, Brad. I don't think that applies to the front. Yeah, it's just the side and rear that allows you to go up within the setback. It's the side and rear setbacks. That's an issue. You can go up with the single-family home, not the front. It doesn't specify the front and the zoning ordinance. But that is an issue of still the setback is what you're saying. The other question that I had for you, Ryan, is do we have any different consideration given the orientation of the garage doors? These are the garage doors are not facing the street side, so it doesn't, from this view, it doesn't look like a garage. It's not necessarily taking away from the inviting street edge. They address design standards, addresses when there's not street-facing garage doors, but that's particularly to make the garage itself and in that particular instance to look like not a garage essentially, which they do in the application, but as far as placement of the structure, that's not addressed. Does the board have any more questions for Ryan at this point? So then Jeff or Christine, any of you or as you stand or Christine, if you want to. So specifically, it was brought to our attention by one of our neighbors who had actually worked on helping the property at 185 South Cove get approved because apparently they're very long driveway telescoping their house to the lake shore or lake shore vantage point was the result of a previous DRB variance that was granted. And so we feel that that's not a fair property to include in the average. So Stan went around and measured every single on the South Cove loop, which we've attached and found out that the average is 55.8 feet. So we have this very anomalous neighborhood curve, as has been pointed out, that we've hopefully done a better job detailing in this newly uploaded information. Specifically, the issue with 185 was brought to our attention and we wanted to have that acknowledged if possible. And what is the setback that you're looking for with the plan that you have proposed? We would like to go to 50 feet. So within a five foot variance, I'm sorry, a five foot. Right, five or variance from the average setback. And from our current garage, it just makes the garage slightly wider. The main goal of the build actually is to add living space above the garage. And I appreciate that. Right, as Ryan pointed out, the garage is kind of a preexisting non conforming structure. It does that and right, we could certainly take down the garage and we build it on the same footprint, although I guess the primary goal is the living space above. It does back up against and is kind of integrated with living space. So there's not a good way to move it back if we took down a garage and rebuilt a garage on the side of the house. Pretty certain we run into side setbacks with our neighbors. One question I had, Brian had noted that 125 South Cove had requested to take down their home and garage and rebuild a home and garage with a garage in front of the primary structure. And I guess the only comment I would have to that is we were not intending to take down our home. That would be a whole different scale of construction than we are prepared to do. It would be an undue hardship for us. Yeah, I do. I mean, we would like to incorporate design elements to make it consistent with the street and not a, you know, obvious garage that didn't look appropriate for the street. But yeah, so there were a number of issues that we wondered if, because of them, you know, made sense to have some DRB flexibility in interpreting this provision. So I know I wrote out the petition, but please, if there's any questions, happy to answer any questions. Just one point of clarity. You had on the new plans, there's a garage that shows these doors. Was that just to illustrate the seat or doors you wanted to use? Yeah, yeah, I think so. Because, you know, when we submitted the plans to Ryan, we had to, I believe, specify, you know, that level of detail, right? Yeah.  And, really, you're looking to go five feet wider, if I'm understanding you. Say you're 55 feet now and you want to go five feet wider. Am I understanding your dimensions correctly? Yeah, yeah, frankly, you know, when the garage was built, it's fairly tight to accommodate cars currently, with, you know, we don't have terribly big cars, but it's just a rather tight space. 20 and a half feet type garage. And we're hoping also to incorporate some EV chargers with the goal to eventually convert to EVs. And right now, it's tight enough that that's very difficult to think about putting into that space. And we know that's part of the city's kind of larger goal also is to move towards reduction of reliance on fossil fuels. So we're hoping this is also in keeping with sort of the city's ultimate goals. Any questions from the board for the applicant? I think there's one other person. Is that a neighbor who's on? Hi, I'm Jeff Shulman, 170 South Cove, and I'm across the street from Stan and Christine. And I just, you know, I'm not not in a position to give a technical report, but I can speak on behalf of, I think, my neighbors and saying that we're supportive of this appeal. We've reviewed their plans and if there's, I think it's already been mentioned, but it is a very odd sort of, you know, curvature of the road. And the neighborhood in general is a little bit odd. I would say, you know, if there's one thing that's consistent about the architecture and design of homes in our neighborhood is that they're pretty inconsistent. So I don't think there's anything about their plan that would be disruptive to the neighborhood. And again, I live right across the street. And I think what they presented ultimately would be far less disruptive than what they might have to do if this isn't supported. So I'll leave it at that. I think certainly of my support and I think the support of our neighborhood as well. Thank you, Jeff. We did submit signatures from 34 residences represented of the 43 around the loop that we've been able to contact so far. We haven't received any negative feedback or opposition and we have full signed support, verbal support of our plans from our neighbors, three houses on either side of us and directly on the inner loop. So anybody who could actually cite the house from their house is fully supportive in writing as well, if that's helpful. Okay. Just give us a couple more hands up in the audience from William Calfee and Ben Travers. Okay. Do you want to admit them? Ben Travers and William Calfee. Ben Travers and William Calfee. Do you have to swear you in? Do you swear to tell the truth and the whole truth on the pain and penalty of perjury? Yes, sir. I do. I do. Okay. So I'll have William Calfee. Do you want to speak first? Yeah. Thanks. Thanks for letting me in. I'm also a neighbor down the road just a little bit and I've reviewed these plans also. I've met 147 South Covert and the plans look great to me. So I'm in support. Okay. And Ben Travers. Thank you very much, Ben Travers. Hope you can hear me all right. I'm actually up in Canada right now on vacation, but I live at 29 South Crest Drive and I am the City Councilor for award five as well. I've also reviewed the plans and understand from a number of neighbors that they are supportive out here. If the board is unable to find a way within the four corners of the law, I would fully support you all granting the applicant a variance here. You know, I think that the applicant here is the precise kind of young family that Burlington is looking to promote and to keep here.  And frankly, I just don't want to give a family like the applicants another reason to be looking to move outside Burlington. So if you can't find a path forward within the four corners of the law, I do truly hope that there's a variance here, especially given sort of the housing crisis and the circumstances we're facing now. So thank you very much. Thank you. Any other questions for the board for the applicant? I want for Ryan. Ryan, so 185 was also used as one of the setbacks. No, no, no, 185. Yes, that's correct. That was at the end of the corner, I guess, if you look the map, I guess, but it'll show this along driveway. I don't know the years built between that house and neighboring. So I don't know if they had the same conflict with setback requirements or even if they exist. Was that one of the setbacks you used to determine the setback for this house? Correct. Yeah. And it's keep going, Scott. It's almost to the left towards the water. It's that one. I mean, there's no provision in the zoning ordinance when there's such an anomaly. I mean, that's an anomaly for the whole neighborhood. There's no such short instance where there, it just speaks specifically to two on either side of the subject lot. So that's the second one away from the appellant's property. Even if it is an outlier in the neighborhood. The appellant mentioned that that long driveway was itself a variance, approved variance. Do we have support for that? I have to pull the files. I'm not sure. I don't recall, but very well, it could be. Sorry, it was in 2002 and we have the details that were emailed to us by the neighbor who helped with that particular case. If we can forward it, it happily do that. I didn't upload it. I apologize. Well, in 2002, that way predates the current front yard setback standard. At that time, the 95 ordinance was in effect. And the front yard setback was either 15 feet, 20 feet or 25, depending if you were on a local collector or arterial road. This was probably a local road. Probably had a minimum of 15 foot setback. And it was a minimum. It's not a bill too long like we have now. You go much further. Right. Still seems like something for our ordinance committee to ponder here. Okay. Ryan, if I understand you correctly, what you're saying is that once the front yard setback is established, that becomes the limit for any height restriction on that side of the house? The front yard specifically. Yeah, that's accurate, I believe.  If they're within the setback, which the majority of the existing garage is, so that the front yard setback based on the neighboring lots pushes their setback line probably closer to their front wall of their house. So the majority of the house is in the set, almost the entire garage is in the setback. To go up within the setback isn't allowed because there's only provision for increase in height within the setback if it's in the side or rear yard setback. So that does create an issue. That's one of the reasons for denial. And you don't have the option of expanding the houses that you use to generate the setback? As far as like going a few extra lots in either direction, you mean? The code doesn't address that? I just want to say, Brad, what it does address is when there's fewer than two basic centers, use what's there if there's less than two on each side. Okay, so in this case, when you have one that's way back, you can't go and do more of them to get a more average average. That's correct. Okay. Okay. I think we sort of understand this. So that for Christine and Stan, I think we understand the issues here and what you're trying to do. I think it's something we have to discuss at the deliberative. If there's anything else you want to add at this point? Stan? Yeah, this is Stan. I would just add, yeah, thank you for considering and discussing. We look forward to hearing. And I think it would be helpful to know, Ryan, you've explained it pretty well, but what should this denial continue? One next steps are what it's a little hard for us to figure out what would be allowed. So for example, it sounds like potentially nothing, neither up to the side or forward. But yeah, any kind of clarity around if not our original plan, if there's any things that are options that's helpful for us in moving forward. Yeah, I'm happy to chat with you at any time. Obviously, I don't know if you want me to get into that now or if that's even pertinent. No, I mean, that sounds like after our discussion. Yeah, totally. Absolutely. And Christine, I see your hands up. I don't know if you wanted to say anything else, sir. So at this point, it sounds like you'll plan to have further discussion. Do we leave the Zoom meeting? Do you have it among yourselves and then let us know? At the end of this meeting, we will deliberate on the project that will be for us tonight. And you can listen in on that, but you just can't participate in it. I see. I just wanted to make sure that everyone had the chance to read through the newly submitted material. That's all. Thank you for your consideration. Okay. Thank you. With that, I will close this public hearing and move on to our last item, which is 69 Orchard Terrace. Is the applicant here for that one? I don't see the applicants here for that one. If you're here under a different name and you're the applicant, raise your hand, please. I see Mary here. I'll promote Mary. We cannot grill her, see what the story is. Being promoted to a panelist has such a positive ring to it. So are we expecting the applicants here or are they just submitting their request in the board or thumbs up or thumbs down? I had indicated to them that there would no longer be any testimony taken. This is simply a request for reconsideration. It's not to be based on the merits and it's the time for the DRB to decide if they would like to reconsider the decision for 69 Orchard Terrace. And I indicated to the applicant that he did not have to be present. Because there wouldn't be any testimony taken. It's a request and I give a couple reasons why they're making this request to reconsider. The staff have a position on it. This is a discretionary on the board's part, whether you would like to take the matter up again. Parking and B&B issue. And we make the decision now or in deliberation? I think it's a gender item, so I think we make the decision now if we're going to consider it. We're not, we're not that. Well, no, I think we, Mary, I think we can talk about the reconsideration in deliberation. The applicant could argue, could have, I don't want to get into this too much. You know, whenever the request for reconsideration, they can argue why we should reconsider it and then we can reconsider the merit changes. I'm looking at this and they're not really saying we got something wrong. They're sort of saying that they've adjusted the application to address some of our concerns. Perhaps I'm being too generous to the applicant with this one. Well, requests in the past for reconsideration have been two part. The first is, do we want to reconsider? And for what reason? And then we would schedule it for an agenda item for that reconsideration. The, the gist of the request is the applicant doesn't feel that the DRB heard their offer in response to how they would address stacked parking. Anybody have on the issue of reconsidering the request, reopening the hearing, I guess is what we would do. Any sentiment on that? My initial reaction is I would not move to reconsider it. They're not saying we got anything particularly wrong or that we got a fact wrong or applied a wrong piece of law. They just don't think we heard them well enough. Whether we disagree with that or not. It doesn't seem like a reasonable basis for reconsideration and reopening. I would deny the request. Is the appellate process and frustrating as it may be that is there for a reason? So he made a motion, right? Right. Take it out of that motion, Brooks. And Mary, they could reapply with their reasoning here if they think it's substantially different. And we got a, you know, they, that they can make these changes that will then bring them into compliance to address their issues. Right. They, they understand that this request for reconsideration is still within their appeal period. So they will have the option if they choose to appeal. Alternately changing regulations may offer them a different avenue. Confusing landscape here. Okay. So we have a motion to not reconsider and discussion on that. All in favor of not reconsidering. Okay. Okay. So that was our last agenda item. And we don't have any other business tonight. So we will end the DRB meeting and move into our deliberative session. Recording in progress. On ZP 22175 58 Hyde Street that we approve the application and about staff's findings and recommendations. Second on that takes. Okay. Any discussion on this one? All in favor? Aye. Opposed? No. So unanimous. Okay. Now. Recording in progress on ZAP 22-3203 South Cove road. I move that we overturn the denial of the application and approve the application. So second on that. I'll second it. Do we want to add the clarity of what we're talking about in terms of the setback? I don't think we need to. Are we going to have to make, I mean, we're going to have to make edits to the staff findings not to support that is the only thing, right? Scott? Yeah. So you're going to need to point to something that is on a basis. What language? Yeah. Go ahead, Kalen. So yeah, I think if we want to go with section 5.2.5 stepbacks, the introductory language there, and then the introductory language in 6.2.2 H, the introduction of new buildings in addition so maintain the existing development pattern and rhythm of structures along the existing streetscape. Those are the two pieces of language that I think we could point to. I have a problem with that. Yeah. Okay. Any other discussion on this? I guess I think I see the logic of it's certainly every law has an intended reason and then it's written as to best address that reason and it's never perfect and they're always going to be mistakes and that's why it's good to have the intro part. I guess this is a new process for me and I just guess I want to say that it's a new process for me. So that's all I have to say. It's not technically variants that we're giving them where we're saying how the establishment of the setback is created is inconsistent with the ordinance in terms of meeting the pattern of the neighborhood. We got a cliffhanger. Oh, sort of it. Hello. Can you hear me okay? Have we gone off the deep edge, Kim? Well, I'm a little concerned. I have to admit I'm not fully familiar with this project. I was just listening in because I was still working and figured I'd listen in. And now I'm trying to kind of come up to speed and read the report as you guys are talking. But I just wanted to make sure I was clear because I keep hearing the word variants come up, but you're not approving a variance because there's no variance application. No, right. We were making an interpretation of the ordinance based on the intent section versus the language in the actual ordinance itself. Right. We're disagreeing with the conclusion about what the setback is. And we think that the conclusion I came up with is creates a setback that's inconsistent with the pattern of the neighborhood, which is the goal of the ordinance is to maintain the pattern of the neighborhood. Right. Based on the measurements of how the ordinance tells you to make them. That's right.  And that, that, you know, it just throws the whole thing off. Okay. Modest ice. Okay. So we have a motion and a second and all in favor. Opposed. So it's four to one Leo objecting. Okay. Recording stopped.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Footed Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. I want to talk about a few things that could be happening this Friday, FIFA Ultimate Team, with the start of Premier League Tots and whatever second league Tots we are going to get. It is all but confirmed that we are going to be getting two team of the seasons dropped at the same time on Friday, since they did that last week with EFL and the most consistent team of the seasons, both being in packs. Now, I don't really want to talk about what is going to be coming out. We basically know it's going to be Premier League. Premier League is always the second team in the season that follows behind most consistent. It's been that way for multiple years and just the way that they do it. And it helps EA build up the hyper team this season. It's early on. They are going to deliver some big time content with the Premier League early on and not make people have to wait for that since that is the most popular league inside of this game and in all of football, you know, for most people. So I want to look at a few things pertaining to the market and what we could see on Friday today. Excuse me, not today, tomorrow. Tomorrow is Friday. I want to prepare you guys beforehand for a few things that we could see with, you know, some market movements beforehand. Now, today, obviously we have weekend league rewards. A lot of people are opening those and probably some people are saving their rewards because of the fact that there are going to be more team of the season cards coming out tomorrow. And obviously, some people are going to try to see if they can take their weekend league rewards and pack a new blue card out of those rewards. I don't blame them for that. But I do think we're going to see some interesting market movements leading up to the six p.m. drop of the new team this season. Now, right now I'm looking at the most consistent team this season because a lot of people want to know, hey, I want to buy one of these guys for my team. The lowest, a lot of people have said will be on Thursday. I think that is true. Today you should be looking at those cards because of rewards, watching those cards and their prices might be going down. They might already be trending back up by the time this video goes out early on Thursday. But I want to talk about some of these cards in here from the Premier League and also some other special cards and some panic that we could see on the market. I think there's going to be and a lot of people are with this too. This isn't just me talking about this. We saw it even last week. We called it correctly last week. There's going to be a lot of panic selling before the six p.m. UK drop. Now, this is the time that I pointed to a couple weeks ago when I was looking at cards on the market and looking at graphs from last year. I said, this is the time last year where we saw the biggest drop in price before the Premier League team of the season came out. And after this, a lot of stuff rose up in price from the Premier League. And it makes sense, right? Premier League Tots comes out. You want to try out some of those Premier League cards. You're going to make a Premier League side and that also changes a lot of things on the market because you have cards that are panic sold because somebody might be selling their 89 Sun because they think that there's going to be a card that is better during team of the season that could replace that card and its value on the game. And that's absolutely correct and that's absolutely true. But there's also a great way to invest for this and building teams around this market is very interesting as well. And you have to kind of do it in a specific way. We have to be mindful of the timeframe of this panic sell that could come Friday. Now I want to talk about a few things in relation to that. Will the panic sell come early? Will the lowest point be before 6 p.m. UK? Or will it be at 6 p.m. UK and after 6 p.m. UK when the promotion drops? My feeling so far is that it is going to be a combination of both but mostly after the drop because last week we saw a lot of people panic selling before but also people bought a lot of teams last week just because they were wanting to buy teams. Just a lot of people have been holding their coins and not buying cards and this is now the time where they're gonna go and start buying teams. And this is a great time to do it. Premier League Tots, there's gonna be a lot of panic on Friday into the promo but I think most of the panic is going to happen at 6 p.m. UK when we see team of the season. Now that's gonna be a very crucial time for you guys. That's why I talked about planning ahead, planning your squad, what players are you gonna need if you're building a team this weekend which I think is the best time to build a team until the ultimate team of the season which is in like four or five weeks, maybe a month away at the end of team of the season. This is the second best time to build other than ultimate team of the season because prices from here generally go up, they stay up, they kind of trickle back downward and then for ultimate team of the season they hit a new low as the best of the best team in season cards are put back into packs but this is a great week to build a team especially with Premier League players and we need to watch some guys like this Gabriel Jesus is one example that I mentioned in a video previous to this one a couple, about a week ago.  Now we looked at cards like Abamiang from FIFA 18, we looked like cards from Team of the Year Conte last year, he did not get a Tots card but he was in a lot of people's end game teams for either a French side team of the season or excuse me, a Premier League side with other team of the seasons. That card is an end game card and a lot of people have that in their end game squad. So what we saw with those cards is a massive sell off in the panic sell heading up to Team of the Season and then boom, they exploded the day after, two days after Premier League Tots came because everybody went back out and bought teams and put teams together and tried out cards on the game. Now, obviously we haven't seen a ton of just crashing, crashing prices on the market as we go and look through some of these past Team of the Week squads because we had a lot of that crash happen before the most consistent team of the season came out. I think there's more crashing to be done this weekend and I think a lot of that crashing still has yet to come because we had a bit of an uptick last weekend as people bought some teams, bought some players, I think it's gonna come crashing down again and once we see all these players that are in Premier League Team of the Season, people are gonna go and they're gonna panic sell a lot of the cards that they do have in their team. So obviously if you're looking to build a squad with Premier League players in it, especially a guy like Conte or KDB who probably won't get a Team of the Season card, even a guy like Pogba who is projected to get one, you might see this headliner card. It's already taken a massive slice in price but if that Team of the Season card comes out and it's two million coins or 1.6, 1.7 million and this drops to almost, if this drops to any lower than this, if you see this card down at like 850K, under 900,000 coins, I think that's a huge buy for a Pogba like this because it's still an insane card. People are gonna see the price of the Team of the Season which might be very rare, be it like 1.67, 8 million, probably two million in first day and they're gonna go back and they're gonna buy back this card while it's more affordable. So we're gonna see kind of a mix of two things. Cards that do get a Team of the Season that are very highly valuable in this game, they're gonna get Panic Soul because that card now has a Team of the Season but when that card comes on the market and we see how expensive it is, especially for a guy like Pogba, maybe Hazard, a Bomb Yang could be a decent shout for that as well, you're gonna see those other special cards underneath it, especially the second highest to the Team of the Season so this card would be the highest rated card that is not a Team of the Season. You're gonna see this have a Panic Cell initially and it's gonna uptick in price over the next couple of days as people go out and they buy this card. Pogba's a good example of that because he's probably getting a Team of the Season card but then also you have guys that aren't gonna get into Team of the Season like a Team of the Year, Kevin De Bruyne, if this card has been lower, see it's 1.66 right now and you see it's kind of went up here in the past couple of days on this weekend, you see this card at like 1.5 and it could very easily get to 1.5 million coins because there's gonna be some other Team of the Seasons that come out that have statistics similar to this. You know like a Team of the Season Ericsson might have similar stats to this but people are gonna Panic Cell, they're gonna go try that new card, you might see this De Bruyne card take a hit in price but then it's gonna go soaring back up into the hype as people go out and they build their teams because there's so many high rated players on this game. Now obviously people want the best of the best when it comes to Ultimate Team, they want the best players that they can get and KDB has one Inform and a UCL Rare card and then he has the Team of the Year card so this is a really good candidate, same with Conte, he's got a Inform, his Gold card and then the Team of the Year which are all at very different price points but a lot of people have so many more coins this year because of all the rewards on the game and more packs that have been on the game, more promotions that just causes people to spend more money in open packs so you can definitely look to see some of these cards rising up in the hype. Now I wanna make one special notice, it's always interesting to look at which positions from Team of the Year, which ones there aren't very many of so I'm gonna talk about for a second here, we're gonna look at Right Back I think and also Goalkeepers so Right Back, I don't know if we're gonna get multiple tots but obviously we are gonna get a Andrew Robertson card because he should be getting a Team of the Season card, now that would probably be a Left Back card so he would be the big time Left Back in the Premier League. Now I don't know about any other Left Back that could get in but also at Right Back you're looking at the Liverpool man, Trent Alexander Arnold and we have a plethora of other Right Backs in the game, especially his Future Stars card. Now if that Alexander Arnold card comes out and it's gonna be better than this one, let's say it's 93 or 94 rated, it's gonna have absolutely mental stats and everybody is going to wanna use that card when they see it. So what's gonna happen is the Right Backs are gonna tank, Aurea Bellarin, they've already started to go down but they're gonna continue to tank and if you can get in on some investments it's maybe even that Aurea card especially since that item is technically still live. I'm thinking of the Aurea Right Back UCL Road to the final card right now. This card is arguably the best or one of the best Right Backs in the game right now before we hit Team of the Season. You might see this card take a massive dip in price and he's also very affordable compared to what the Team of the Season Trent Alexander Arnold would be. I would imagine that card be somewhere around 5,600, 700K. Last year Kyle Walker Right Back card was like 550K and it went shooting up out of packs. So you could see this Aurea card hit 200K or under 200K in a panic sell right away. I do think you could and that's a decent look because this card is live and it still has the chance to get upgraded and it still has very insane, very good stats for a Premier League Right Back but you can watch trashes like that across the board. Now remember last year I looked at the Team of the Group stage Hugo Larisse and this example is like ingrained into my memory because I saw this card last year. He had a 89 rated Team of the Group stage card. It went to 89K. It went to like just under 100,000 coins in the panic sell before Premier League Tots, after Premier League Tots it shoots up in price to 150,000 coins. So it doubles, not doubles in price but it goes up 50K from 100K to 150K basically because of all the hype. And if you think about it last year I think there were two goalkeepers. We had Team of the Season De Gea and we also had a Team of the Season, who was it, Pope? Yeah, I think it was Pope who had a Team of the Season card last year and everybody hated packing it. I might be wrong with that name. I'm thinking it was Pope. Everybody hated packing that Pope card. But it was De Gea and then it was that other lower tier Pope, you know, goalkeeper card. So then you had Larisse who was still a solid option and very much more linkable than some of those other guys you know, French goalkeeper. That's a very linkable card in this game especially if you're gonna do some hybrids or you have an icon, a French icon center back which there are two of them, Blanc and De Gea. So you got a lot of options there when it comes to that. But I would look at your Reese again this year. Now, when you're looking at cards this year what cards are gonna rebound the most? The ones that are gonna rebound the most are very high rated cards like this Rashford or like the Sun, Gabriel Jesus or Conte who do not get Team of the Seasons. Now some of these guys might get it. Rashford might sneak in and get a Team of the Seasons card. Might have some panic but if he doesn't get a Team of the Seasons card you're gonna see this card get a lot of hype because Rashford is very sought after in this game this year. This card is almost tot's quality with his stats already. I mean he's almost, you know, if he gets a Team of the Seasons card it's gonna be crazy. He's almost 90 rated on his shooting, passing and dribbling. He's just under 90 in those stats and honestly 84 physical as well.  It might hit 350,000 coins in the panic and maybe shoot up to 500K after people buy back their teams especially if there's a Pogba in this team.  The Man United guys are gonna come out and get their players that they love so dearly in the game, same thing with the Hyunmin Sun. He's kind of on the edge of getting a tot's card. He could be like an SBC version. That'll be somebody that a lot of people wanna go after. That's another interesting take. But then this one's one of my favorites, Gabriel Jesus. He is from Citi, Citi has the hype of winning the title as I talked about yesterday with the Guero for Thursday Flipping. He's Brazilian, he's gonna link to a tot's Firmino if he gets one, a tot's Felipe Anderson. You know, he's gonna link to so many different players in the Prem and just Brazilians in general and of course he is Manchester City. So if Bernardo Silva gets a tot's that's gonna be a Team of the Seasons. A lot of people are going to wanna try. Raheem Sterling's gonna get a tot's, Aguero could get a tot's. That's gonna be a card that a lot of people wanna have in their end game team to link up with some tot's players as they try them. So you're looking at the high rated meta and out of pack special versions, in forms and special cards of Premier League players. And basically all you have to do is just, again, scroll through the Team of the Week tab on here. Look at some FFS cards that are very high quality. Maybe even a Phil Foden could rise up in the hype for the Premier League. Not a ton of Premier League guys, Genduzzi. Genduzzi, boys. This would be a huge one. 245K, he's been 230 this week. You see this card even lower than 230 in the hype or the panic sale this weekend. That would be a perfect one to look at. He's an all around great player. A lot of people probably have them. You know, if you're somebody who has a million coins or like two million coins, this might be the type of guy that you put in your end game team. Club 80s, a very hype card, very good card in this game. So that's the kind of cards that you're gonna wanna focus on this weekend. I wanna touch on one more thing. And I talked about this a little bit at the beginning of the video, but Team of the Season most consistent. We don't know if they're going to include Alderwild, Stones, Wannbee, Saka, these Premier League guys, we don't know if they're going to include them in the Premier League Tots. They may throw them back into packs. They might not. Once we figure that out, if we find out right away that they are not going to be included in the Premier League Team of the Season, that is a great investment time to buy them, but also be careful. We're gonna have some center backs coming out. We might have a center back La Porte Team of the Season. That could hurt Alderwild's value depending on where that La Porte card is at. Same thing with Stones. I mean, you have some Premier League guys here down on the bench, Stones, Saka, Wannbee, Saka. You're gonna have to kind of watch and see who comes out. Wannbee Saka is gonna be overshadowed by the right back Alexander Arnold, and even if Kyle Walker gets a Tots card, this card will be overshadowed and it might drop, but that could also be an investment opportunity, as this would be a very good budget Team of the Season card that people would wanna use because it's still hyped up. It's a Team of the Season card. It's brand new on the game. So, excuse me. Watch these Premier League guys. I do think some of the other ones will rise out of packs. Ibra being the exception. I think he's overpriced right now at this moment, and there's gonna be other cards on the game that are higher rated and have stats similar to his. They're gonna drop his price when Premier League comes out. Allen could be a good one out of packs. Alex Tellas as well could be a good one. But again, watch these Premier League guys because they're so hyped up. Even Atobi Alderwireld, 200K. This is a very good card. And if you're making a full Tots Premier League side, which a lot of people are probably gonna chase after at some point, that's a card you're gonna wanna have in it. Same thing with, I know I pointed out the Wambi Saka already, but I end on Bailey. He's French, links to just about any squad that you wanna have. There's so many French players in this game. His card prices fluctuated a lot already. That's a card to watch out of packs. But just be careful with these cards, especially with the Premier League ones, if you're trying to catch them in some panic sell this weekend. But again, focus on, you know, if you're building a team, watch those player prices this weekend. Start to formulate a plan for, if this player hits this certain price, I'm gonna buy my team and we're gonna look, not gonna look back, just buy the team that a lot of people have been looking forward to this week. So again, watch the prices this weekend, watch the panic sell, get on the bids. There's gonna be a lot of stuff to do during lightning rounds that we always talk about, we always go through. And of course, we'll be covering that this weekend as well with Premier League Tots. And boys, I am hoping, hoping, hoping, hoping for some big time upgrade packs. The league specific upgrades, for sure. Right now, we are sitting on close to, I think about 1,000 unassigned. I just keep bidding and bidding and bidding on these gold cards because I'm gonna rip so many packs with those 17 million coins you see in the top left. That's what I'm gonna be doing during team this season. And of course, I will be building some type of team as well, probably a little bit later down the line during ultimate team of the season. But if you enjoyed this video and you thought it was informative, you learned something from it, smash the thumbs up button and comment down below if you have any questions. It's been Nate, The Foot Accountant. Catch you guys later. Peace out.


Here on mate! He stacked it and I got it on film look. Stacked it. I saw it, I got it on film. I got the aftermath on film. Look it, camera didn't go mate. Right, here I am. I'm out with Jack the filmmaker. We're doing a bit of a promo thing for Northern Monk. I'm going to go spearfishing and then we're going to hook up with the owner and the head brewer of Northern Monk, Russ and Brigh. And do a little bit of a wild camp on the coast. We've just come down the first half and then Jack's just gallivanting around in his slippy shoes. So I thought I'd bring you along with me for some behind the scenes. I mean he's going to make something a little bit special and this is for my next Patrons Project beer which I'm excited for you lot to try and for me to try as well because I did seven weeks but I'm back on it now. Back on juice a little bit. Right, I've got to go down here and make me still look outdoorsy. I've got a bead on because Jack's trying to get a shot so I've had to climb up and down this cliff three times now so you can get a shot. That's what you don't see on real film.  I am up this cliff sweating like a gibbon. Yeah, there's Jack. Hump beach look, he's gone for his wide shot. That's what they call it right. Okay, there he is look. Jack's just getting another shot. I'm all suited and booted. It's coming up to high tide now so the chance of a lobster is very slim unless I swim right far out so I'm going to try and do a little bit of stealth hunting and see what I can see if I can see any fish first of all let alone shoot one. Visint too bad. I've seen a bass, that was good. I've seen a bass but he's just in the distance.  Just saw that go back empty handed for Jack. All right let's carry on. Right I'm out. Poor Jack's going to have to go to the car to re-do his batteries because it was in for so long. Oh mate, sorry. Sorry about this. Oh well. This is the uncut version, isn't it? Rough as you like. I'll tell you what was good though. As soon as I got in on my way out I saw my first bass which was it just skidded off but I could see its fins. It was definitely a bass which gives me hope. That gives me a lot of hope. No lobsters. As I was diving high tide when I got out past the low tide mark it was a bit hard work mate. It was good 15-20 meters down so I couldn't have as much bottom time as I'd like. And then near the end I got into all this bait ball of little fish and I was waiting for something bigger to come and get them but no joy. No joy. But the visibility was excellent and I loved it. I absolutely loved it down there.  One, two, three, four, four. We can make some up with them. Chop them up, put them in a bit of coconut cream or something, make a little crab curry for the lads. There's Jack filming the fourth wall getting broken down and this. The beer cooler. Can we have a quick look before we set off? Because it is. There you go. That's what I've earned. Well earned it. Yeah, that's normally my spot but you can have it. But I guess, yeah, where are you going to, where are you going to lie anywhere, can't you? I'll sleep next to the fire. There you go, look. It's been seven weeks without a monk. Seven. What perfect, what perfect time to break the seal then with the northern monk crew, with one of these bad boys after walking all the way over there. I'm getting better at scenes on this. There you go, look. Actual cool box with table on it. I haven't been bringing you in a lot because I'm doing stuff. Bit busy, working. But I do want to bring you in to see this. There you go, look at that.   Probably can't even play all this actually because I've just realised that music's on it background. Oh, nice and peaceful, look.  There you go, look. La beautiful. La sunset. Got a beautiful sunset down with northern monk lads. Smashing northern monk beer. There we are, look. There we are, look. There's Russ and Bri. These are the men that make it work. And not only do they make it work, but they make seats and they've just gone down to get this sleeper rail and they're going to bring it up for us to sit on, which is absolutely, it's heroic. Absolutely heroic. Not all heroes wear thongs. But and then, I mean it's a bit of a, campsite's a bit of a mess, but that's just life at the moment. Got a fire going. La fire. And I'm cooking this evening. I'm cooking for everyone. I'm going to do a, I spoke, doing like a tie, tie a quarry, like a lamb tie a quarry, but I'm going to do it veggie first because for the veggies in the crew and then do the meat separate and add it. I don't know why I'm telling you it. Content in it. Content. I'm happy as a pig. Yeah, I've watched this. It is better content. Come and have a look at this. Look at this. Look at that. That what we've got there is a professional cameraman filming the owner of Nova Monk and the head brewer of Nova Monk carrying a sleeper rail. That is, that's life is that now. Fueled on, and also fueled on beer. This is tough mudder.  Dennis Bird Camp. The Willy Wonkers have craft ale. And now look what's manifested itself is I'm in the same place with Northern Monk camping and talking about my next beer, my next Patreon beer. And I couldn't be happier. I couldn't be happy about that. I feel like it's just, I could weep with it. I could weep with full circleness of it all. Absolutely brilliant. And there you go. Look, there's Northern Monk doing, and also look, professional camera crew down there as well. Professional camera crew doing a film about me for Northern Monk. Winged it and I winged it and it's happened.  The Northern Monk get me on a can phase and who pestered Northern Monk and followed me through it. This is for you. And I keep pinching myself and I'm just so grateful about it. I'm so grateful for it. Oh, he's filming me look. Do you need some, do you need some muscle? Do you need some muscle, so I'll catch you guys later. Bye. Banging some, some lamb steaks in there and done some lamb breads as well. There we are. Thai red lamb curry over the fire. Looks good with charred limes smashed on it. It's the lot with some partly charred lamb breads. Tucking boys. Morning glampers. Lerpethon. I've probably covered in ticks. I know I am. Definitely going to be covered in ticks like, I'll just keep like this, it's bracken. But yeah, check this out. Not a bad view. We'll get a coffee on, get some food on and then we've got to find a place to wild swim just to get these, these last few cobwebs out at noggin. Oh, so glad it didn't rain. Didn't film breakfast. Knocked up bacon, eggs, avocado, treating these lads, just treating them well. And there, and there you go. That's our campsite. There's Russ and Brian on the way. Jack packing up his film gear. Say bye Jack, bye. And there we go.  So sorry for if it's cack, but also thanks for watching. I'll see you, I'll see you soon. Tata.


Okay, so we're going to talk about making some money today with ClickFunnels affiliate program. In this video, I'm going to show you about the ClickFunnels affiliate program. We're going to be following along right here on this affiliate network sheet. I'm going to walk through all of the information you need to know about promoting ClickFunnels as an affiliate, how you can get ClickFunnels paying you, what countries are accepted, how much you can expect to get paid, how to promote, how to get accepted as an affiliate, all the communities that you can go and training. And I'm going to go through other affiliate networks as well as walk you through everything you need to know about ClickFunnels in this video. And I'm going to show you how to get help, how to get resources, and how to start making that nice monthly recurring revenue, aka passive income baby. Let's get it. Hey, Jon Cristani here. Once again, we're going to be going through the ClickFunnels affiliate program right here. If you want to follow along, I'm going to be going through this sheet right here where we have a lot of information on the ClickFunnels affiliate program. You can check out this sheet by going to JonCristani.com back slash networks. If you want to go to the link, just pause the video, check it out, open it up and follow along. Now I'll be going over the countries. Any country can do this. No matter where you are in the world, you can be any age. It doesn't matter if you're in Morocco, Pakistan, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, whatever. Stop asking me questions. Does it work in this country? I'm going to ban you from ever speaking on my channel again, okay? I'm also going to be going over some of the advanced terms later on in this video, such as hold back, MRR, trial, turn, and stick rate, which we'll get to towards the end of the video. And I'll explain why that's important to you and why you should care and how that affects how much money you make. So, once again, we're talking about ClickFunnels here. Who here is a fan of ClickFunnels? Type in, I'm a fan down below.  I'm a huge user of ClickFunnels. I love ClickFunnels. Again, I don't know programming much. So, you know, I rely on ClickFunnels and other, you know, programs like it just to not have to do programming. It's really amazing. Affiliate marketing has never been easier. So, once again, follow along on this sheet, johncrestonning.com back slash networks. And let's talk about this. So, ClickFunnels is an affiliate program. The specialty is called BizOp, okay? BizOp stands for business opportunity. I mean, there's really two main things you can promote. Health, you know, helping people be healthy and look good or helping people be wealthy, which is making money, okay? Now, there is no approval for this affiliate network, which is really cool. You don't actually need to be accepted. You don't need to go through an application process, which is cool. And there are no excluded countries, meaning wherever you are in the world. Once again, don't ask.  You can be approved. Now, there are 18 offers. What an offer is is it is a product that you can promote. And we'll talk about all the different products that you can promote within ClickFunnels. We'll go over those in a little bit. There's no offer approval, meaning you don't, you know, some networks you actually need to be approved for the offer after you've joined the affiliate network. You can make a lot of money from one sale. In fact, you can make about $500 from just one click, one customer, which is pretty exciting. The average commission is $40 a month. And there is support. There are tools to help you promote their products. There is training. There's a lot of training. This is what makes it so exciting. ClickFunnels just packs on the training. And there is a community that you can join and be accepted to. I don't know. I keep getting banned from Facebook, so I'm not in the account. I don't know. And also, I get a lot of annoying messages on Facebook, so I just don't use it. The one downside is there is a cost, okay? It's $97 a month to join this affiliate network. Now, the training is well worth the price, but I know many of you don't have any money whatsoever. I get messages all the time from this. If you don't have any money, join all of the other affiliate networks that don't cost any money to join. Although, if you do have money, I would highly recommend you join and you're looking to just get started in affiliate marketing. I'd highly recommend you actually join one of the programs that does cost money because all of the programs that do cost money include training with them on how to promote them, such as my affiliate program, too. You can join Super Affiliate System and you will learn how to promote my product as well as many others. And for $49 or $97, it's actually a really good price, okay? You can get paid through a number of ways. You can get paid through PayPal. You can get paid through check. I think Payoneer and the payout cashout limit is $50, okay? And even if you aren't going to join this affiliate network, I actually would suggest you stick around just to learn about the different terminology around things. Once again, join, click the link, and I suggest you join as many affiliate networks as possible because that'll give you the best chances of getting accepted. All you need is to get accepted to one affiliate network, one offer link, and one customer. And then you're on your way. All you need is one customer and you earned your first commission. And the next customers will be very easy for you. So let's move onwards and upwards. Now, ClickFunnels. ClickFunnels, for those of you who don't know what ClickFunnels is, it's a very popular program that has over 100,000 people actually using it to create sales funnels for their business. Now, each member of ClickFunnels to use the software pays $97. So if we actually do the math, 100,000 members times $97, that's about $10 million a month that ClickFunnels makes. It's a pretty big company, okay? And that's times 12 months. So they make over $116 million a year. So this is no small beans company. It's created by this guy, Russell Brunson, that you can see right here. He's known for getting a start in marketing by selling a book on how to build a potato gun. Not even joking. Has anybody here built a potato gun? I'd actually be really interested. Type in the chat, I have built a potato gun. I might give a special reward. So you'll see what is a funnel. So that'll be the first basic term we explain as a funnel. So a funnel is a series of marketing pages that leads people down a process to buy a product. Most people don't just click on an ad and buy a product. Most people need to be convinced in order to actually buy something. For instance, if you wanted to buy Super Affiliate System, right? Likely, maybe you'd watch, you know, five to 50 YouTube videos of mine. You'd get frustrated and you say, okay, I just want the step by step program. And then you check out my webinar. You'd register for my webinar. Then you'd show up on my webinar and you'd watch my webinar. Then you'd read through my sales page and understand exactly what my program includes. And then after you see what my program, you know, my six week training course includes, you'd go over to the order page, right? And then you'd pay for my program. And then after my order page, I offer, you know, I offer people if they want to actually pay me more money, an additional $247 a month to have group training with me. People love the group training and everybody who's a member of it, some people might say, oh, that's a lot of money, John. My time's valuable. So and then that's what sales funnels are. Okay. So sales funnels really help sell products, any type of products. The next thing, let's get into ClickFunnels dashboard. So here's what it looks like when you're logged in. And let's go over to sales funnels. You'll see we have funnels right here. And if we scroll down, we can see these are some of the funnels that I share with my students just to help them promote any product they want. And these are all kind of top ClickBank products right here. Let me show you an example. So here's a product called the Lost Ways. It's a survival product. Now ClickFunnels, the way it works is you can edit pages, you can view the pages. This is what the funnel looks like. It says the ultimate survival superfood lasting up to 50 years. And then you'd answer a few questions. And for people that are actually in this market, this is actually really interesting information for them. And then they would agree to see a video. And it's a funnel. Again, we went through multiple steps there in order to bring people over to this video and help convince them to watch this video. Using funnels is a lot more cost effective than just sending people to a random page. It's kind of like trying to get laid on the first day. If you walk up to a girl and you say, hey, can we sleep together? You're probably not going to have a very good chance. You're probably going to have a lot better chance instead of going up to 100 girls and asking them all if they'll sleep with you tonight. You'd have a lot better chance if you went out one day and you spent an hour with 10 different girls. You had an hour long conversation with 10 different girls.  That's a more effective approach. And that's why we use sales funnels. Building a relationship, having people go through pages is more effective than just spraying and praying. That's why we use landing pages. And that's what I do. ClickFunnels also, here's the edit page. It allows you to really easily just chain stuff around. You can type stuff, blah, blah, blah. And without knowing any programming, I can switch around any of these images. I can switch around any of these stuff in the quizzes. I can change the answers and questions. I can do whatever. So it's a really effective software. I really like it. Let's talk about the affiliate program. So the affiliate program pays 40% monthly recurring commissions. And what's really cool is they even give you a lot of nice perks. So once you get over 100 members right here, you will get $500 a month additional towards a car. Once you get up to 200 members, you get $1,000 a month towards whatever car you want. So this is a very affiliate friendly program. And they pay out a lot of money. Keep in mind for a company that does $116 million and they're paying out 40% commissions, that means affiliates of ClickFunnels are making $4 million a year. You heard it. $46 million a year are being paid out to different affiliate marketers. Now, if we were to just break that down into something that might be more reasonable, let's say that there's really a thousand big affiliates of this program that really focus on this program a lot. Each affiliate is making a nice income. So you can make a lot of money from this. That means a thousand people are making $4,000 a month. There's a lot of money to go around for everyone. Now, that brings me to my second term, which is recurring commission. By the way, before I get into this, let me know if you like this new format. Let me know if you like me explaining terms. Just type in keep explaining terms or type in, you know what, no terminology. Just type in no terminology in the comments below. It's actually important for me for my understanding. These are kind of uncommon words, which is why I'm taking more time to explain some of these terms because I really want you guys to get this and start making money with this. So just let me know if I should keep explaining terminology or stop. It's you guys' choice. Recurring commission means that you are getting it every single month as long as the customer is signed up. As long as the customer is signed up. So that going back to our calculator here, if you get a customer that signs up for ClickFunnels and they're paying $97 a month, you get 40% of that, which means you get about $40 as long as they're signed up. And what's great about this program is as you've seen by my numbers here, where did we go? I have 188 members that are paying for ClickFunnels every single month because people like me, I've been signed up for ClickFunnels for five years. You know, many other people, once they start using ClickFunnels, they keep using it and because it's so useful. So they've really built a good product here and you can make a lot of money long-term and this just keeps stacking. The next term to understand is you might have heard you see affiliate program and you might see that some people call it an affiliate network. Now the difference between an affiliate program and an affiliate network is that an affiliate program is of one company. Whereas an affiliate network is many different companies whose products you can advertise. So ClickFunnels is just one company. You can't advertise other companies affiliate programs through ClickFunnels, if that makes sense. It's a little confusing, but that's the explanation. Now another thing that comes with ClickFunnels is they have a lot of different resources for help. As you see, they have a affiliate Facebook group called the ClickFunnels Avengers and there's a lot of stuff that's very useful in here.    I don't want to hear it anymore. Okay. I don't have negativity in my life. So I'm not going to send everybody money. Okay. I'm just tired of these messages. So I don't really use Facebook anymore, but ClickFunnels Avengers, there's a lot of training in here. Affiliate and Best Fact is training. There's promotions, announcements, really useful to be a part of groups when you're starting out affiliate marketing. Again, community. I know a lot of people watch me, but they don't trust what I say or whatever. If you need motivation, join a community because then you see what everybody else is saying and you're kind of like, oh, light bulbs start going off and you start thinking to yourself, oh, wow, this is like, there's actually real people. Like I can look at their Facebook profile. They're making money. Okay. And it's pretty exciting. As you see, 44 new posts today, just today only, there's 78,000 members in this group. So there's a lot of activity here. There's a lot of help. You can learn a lot and they have, they post a lot of training in here, affiliate and best practice training. ClickFunnels also has a boot camp. If you want to go through their boot camp, you would just go to this link. This is my affiliate link, johncrestani.com backslash boot camp and they have a 100 day boot camp to turn ClickFunnels from a hobby into a full-time career. I'm not sure what the cost is. Let's see if we can scroll down to the bottom here. I don't know, but I think it's under $100. Oh no, it's free. Get free access to the 100 day interview series. Sorry. So the boot camp is free, but I think they sell stuff. So still use my affiliate links if you end up buying. And then they have this center. So this is the interesting center. This is your affiliate dashboard and this shows you how much money you make each day. So as you see, I record most of my videos in the past. You can see, some days I earn $500. Some days I earn nothing, but overall, I've made about $200,000 from this affiliate program since I started promoting last year. What's really cool is you can see all of the products here if you want to get links. So if you want to get links to different products to sell, what you do is you would click affiliate tools and you click get my link. Okay, so once again, you're going to click this button. Let's say we want to promote the traffic secrets book. Click this button right here and we would get our affiliate link and this would be our affiliate link. And if we open it up, you'll see this would be the page that people would get on. I think I have too many tabs open. So it's going slow. There we go. New free book shows 20 virtually unknown secrets and get tons of traffic. Now, ClickFunnels is very popular amongst network marketers, digital marketers, affiliate marketers, e-commerce guys, drop shippers. Anybody who's interested in affiliate marketing and Russell Brunson is a monster sales person. This guy on his mission must have converted like entire countries of people. He's LDS. So this guy is a monster sales person and he's just a great business owner. So that's how you get your link. If you want information on the commission details, you click right here. This will give you a little more information on how much money you've earned. You can get a download link. You can get more analytics on that stuff. Now, the best product to promote out of all of ClickFunnels products, as you see, they have just a ton of products.com secrets book, expert secrets book. They have funnel scripts. They have network marketing secrets. They have affiliate boot camp. They have copywriting secrets. They just have a ton of different products you can promote. The best product is just straight up ClickFunnels right here. This is where you'll get monthly recurring revenue.  Now, to get your links for the ClickFunnels, you know, just the main software, which I believe is the best, and you'd get your link here and it would go to a sign up page for somebody to sign up for ClickFunnels. Now, ClickFunnels also gives you a lot of different resources. They give you banner ads if you want to do advertising. They give you emails that you can send out if you have an email list or if you build an email list, I go over how to build an email list for free in one of my more recent videos right there. This video will probably be taken down soon. So you want to go through it. You'll want to check that out. I've had a number of my videos go down be taken down by YouTube because the methods I teach are so, let's say they hit that gray line, but they're so effective. And you don't want to miss those videos. Make sure you subscribe. And if you're into free traffic, just type in free traffic, make sure you hit a like, hit the subscribe button, and make sure you enable the notifications because, again, my videos do get taken down from time to time because the stuff I'm showing on this channel is so cutting edge. But I show it to you because it works and it makes money. Okay, so we have the affiliate links and this brings us to some of the some of the more advanced terms. So let's first go over hold back. What is a hold back? Now you may notice now you may notice that if we zoom in here, it says ready for payout today ready for payout next Monday and in holding past Monday. Now why are they holding on to my money? Okay, why don't they just give it to me if it's money I'm owed? Why do they have to wait so long to give it to me? Now one thing because affiliate marketing is so cutting edge, we're the cowboys or vikings or pirates, whatever you want to call it of capitalism. There are some people who take advantage of the system. There are affiliates out there that literally that will buy or find stolen credit cards or just steal credit cards, other people's credit cards, and buy products like click funnels with them so that click funnels will pay them affiliate commissions from people that never actually really signed up. It's just kind of fraudulent activity. So for that reason, a lot of affiliate programs have hold backs just to prevent fraud because fraud is a real problem in affiliate marketing. There are a lot of people, usually they're in like Eastern Europe or China that are using stolen credit cards, not to be like offensive, but it's just kind of a thing. The next term we're going to get to is MRR and what MRR stands for is monthly recurring revenue. And you'll see down here we have MRR. That means my monthly recurring revenue with click funnels is $10,202. So every month I can expect to make $10,000 from click funnels affiliate program. Now this is an important number because let's say you want to quit your job, but you want to be safe before you quit your job. You want to make sure you have a steady income from affiliate marketing, let's say. Focus on programs that have MRR and that way let's say you want to get paid, if you're in the U.S., maybe you want $4,000 a month. You'd wait until your MRR gets to $4,000 a month or let's say you're in India. Maybe you just care about $200 a month. I think that's middle class in India, right? So for my Indian followers, what is a middle class income in India? And actually for all my followers, let me know what is a middle class income in your country. Just type in the amount of money that's what's considered a middle class income in your country. I'm pretty interested. Now the next term you see is trial. Now what you'll see if you go to clickfunnels.com is you will see that you sign up. You don't actually have to pay anything on when you sign up. You get a 14-day free trial. So that's an important number because if you get somebody to sign up for a 14-day free trial, it means you hopefully a percentage of those people will end up actually paying the $97 a month and you can start making money. And you'll see right here I have 34 people that are currently trialing. So 34 people that are on a free trial currently of clickfunnels means that my potential trial monthly recurring revenue, sorry, this is getting a bit confusing, let me know if this is too advanced or too beginner. Okay, type in the comments below if this is too advanced and you don't want me to go over two advanced terms. You want me to stick to the basics, type in too advanced or just say stick to the basics, John. And if this is valuable, type in monster value. Okay, type in monster value below. Again, it's sort of difficult for me sometimes catering these videos to everyone. So your potential trial MRR is $1,959. And if we bring out the calculator, we can kind of do the math and we say, okay, 34 trials and times I think what we can get a $48 a month. So you know, it's around the same thing, right? Some people may be trialing on a higher end version of clickfunnels. So basically that's how they calculate that number. Now the next two terms are actually pretty cool terms. And they apply oftentimes to software companies or SaaS companies. And that's churn and stick rate. And if you want to be a billionaire, these are really important numbers to kind of understand churn. Well, let's first talk about stick rate. Stick rate is the amount of people that actually end up staying what people who sign up for a free trial, how many of those people end up paying the $97 a month. And my trial stick rate is 100%. Now yours may not be. Okay, but you know, for me, when I recommend clickfunnels, I explain everything about clickfunnels. So when people understand the pricing, people understand the value, people understand how to use it. So when I recommend clickfunnels, which I have in other videos, people stick around. So my trial stick rate is really as good as you can get. If your trial stick rate is 20%, for instance, that means you're not sending very good quality traffic or customers. The next number is called churn.  But what churn means is, eventually people will stop paying for clickfunnels. People may use it for three months. Some people may use it for six months. Some people may use it for a year. But eventually people are going to stop paying the $97. And churn is what percentage of people stop paying the $97. So as you saw in my case, I have 188 members. So if my churn rate was 10%, that would mean that each month, 100 out of 188 people, I would lose 10%. So I would lose about 18 customers. Each month would stop on the trial or stop paying for clickfunnels. So that means if I want to keep making this money, this recurring revenue, I need to get 18 customers every single month in order to remain at the same level. So just let me know in the chat if that's too advanced. If it's helpful, type in helpful.  My free traffic methods are, we have a ton of videos on them, just type in this link.

Again, you're not going to make any money by watching my videos. You're only going to make me money because there's ads and stuff.

Spark Plasma Centering is a new technology for preparing ceramic materials. This technique involves heating a powdered material in a chamber using electrical discharge, which causes it to fuse together under high pressure. A thermal electric mechanical coupled model was developed to simulate the process, taking into account the effects of temperature, electricity and mechanical forces. The model was able to accurately predict the centering behavior of boron carbide powders at four different temperatures. This article was authored by Song Zhang, Wei Lu, Weiman Wang and others.
