I think that now I got it, but it's a little bit too late because we're in the middle of the live already, but let's just take a look. Yep, now it started. Okay, so yeah, so we had a small technical difficulty here, guys. I started the live on a different link by accident. I'm not sure if it was a streaming software, but the live was playing for about half an hour now. And I didn't notice much movement in the live chat and now I can understand why the live simply didn't connect with the right RTMP link on the server and just nevermind, I'm gonna start this live from the middle. So hello to everyone who's just joining right now. Let me just make sure that we're all on the same page. I'll stop sharing my screen because I was in the middle of an explanation. Okay, so hello to everyone in this live Q&A. I'm sorry for starting at 30 minutes late. I've actually been talking for the last 30 minutes, almost to myself. So yeah, I'm Liran, the content manager here at AutoDS. And this is our 31st live Q&A. Thank you, Lee, by the way, for keeping me updated on whether it's working or not. Hello, Handy Trendy. And hello to everyone else who's joining the live Q&A. Now I can finally see people who are joining. Yeah, so I started 30 minutes too late, but once again, I didn't really start at 30 minutes late. I just started at 30 minutes early with the wrong link. So nobody was really here in the live. So hello to everyone. This is the 31st live Q&A.

Arcila. Hello, Born Face. Hello, Dollar Deal. And I think I've said hello to most of the people, at least most of the people who have typed in the chat so far. Okay, yeah, let's get this live started, guys. Am I still sharing? Yep, let's get this live started right about now. One sec. Okay, so we've talked about Q4, and it's starting in a week, right? One week from today, even less. Today we're on September 28th, so we've only got a few days to start Q4. I don't know what stage you're at on your dropshipping business. I don't know if you guys have gotten started. I don't know if you guys are in the middle. I don't know if you guys have tried more than once, and I don't know if you guys had success right from the back, but Q4 is the best time of the year to be an e-commerce store owner. This is when sales are gonna go through the roof. This is when you're gonna have to think of more products that are going to sell well, and that is what you can also learn from us. This is where if you are marketing your products, you're going to have to raise your budgets a little bit more to be more competitive during the best time of the year to sell, but of course, raising those budgets are going to come back.  You've got all of those holidays that I just mentioned coming up. You've got this e-book that's gonna take you through step-by-step all of the products that you need to sell. Take advantage of everything that we are offering to you. Okay, once again, the Q4 e-book is absolutely for free. I want you guys to enjoy that, and don't forget, ask your questions in the live chat, but I'm gonna remind you guys again, no technical questions. I will not be able to answer them. If you've got any technical issues, please open up a support ticket, and our support representatives will help you out there. I'm here to help you take the next step in your e-commerce business. Of course, after you pass through all those bugs, after you went through all of those obstacles, which I always see as opportunities, ask me your questions. Let me know what's stopping you from taking that next step, what information you feel is missing, where you feel like you need a little bit more training, where your weak spots are, and I will help you to the best of my ability with my last five years of doing dropshipping and still doing it to this day. Thank you, Dollar Deal. It is a great book. Handy Trendy, you can get the e-book. I'm gonna leave a link right below this video. You can simply head over to autods.com, hover over resources, click on e-books, and you'll see it, and or just go head straight directly to autods.com slash e-books, I'm not sharing my screen, sorry, okay? Or just head over to autods.com slash e-books, okay? And you will see the Q4 dropshipping book right there. But better yet, just go to autods.com, hover over resources and click on e-books, okay? And you'll see the Q4 dropshipping e-book right here on the left side. And I also want you guys to still check out the 100 best products to sell in 2022. These are the two greatest e-books that we created this year, okay? We also created more like how to run the eight steps to run Facebook ads for your stores, the beginner's guide to dropshipping on eBay, and you've also got 100 products from the previous year, but you should take a look at 2022. So the 100 best products to dropshipping 2022, and Q4 dropshipping events, products, tips, and tricks. This is your go-to right now, because Q4 is right now, and we just published this e-book right now. Take advantage of this before other dropshippers get their hands on it. Even if they do, it doesn't mean anything, but be first to the race, get these product ideas, add them to your stores, prepare before everyone else for Q4, and let yourself have that amount of time during Q4 to learn how to scale more, to see what products are selling, and then add more products that are similar to them, look for more suppliers, and get better stability and better profitability for your business. Don't do it at the last minute. Q4 is now. That means that the time to start preparing your stores is now, the time to start adding Christmas products, which is in December, is now. It's at the end of September. It's at the start of October. If you haven't sold Halloween products yet, I am not sure what you guys are waiting for. Go and add Halloween products to your store right now before it's too late, because in about one month, in exactly one month, Halloween occurs, and your products need time, your customers need time to get to the products on your store. They're not gonna see your products one minute after you add them. It's gonna take some time for the customers to search for it, and for you to show up on your customer search results. So add your products right now, your Halloween products right now, because customers already started buying them one month ago, and even more, and if you're not sure what products are selling for Halloween, head back to that Q4 ebook. That's exactly why we created that ebook. Okay, if you wanna take the shortcut, you can simply head over to our blog page, okay? So resources, dropshipping blog, and you've got the Halloween products should be right here. 15 spooky products who spice up Halloween dropshipping sales. So guys, you've also got the video embedded right here. Start Halloween right now. It's the last time I'm gonna talk about Halloween. If you haven't added at least these products yet, okay? And I'm not talking about one for each. Add 20 of this, add 20 scary bet wall stickers, add 20 inflatable outdoor ghosts and not just ghosts, add 20 outdoor Halloween inflatables, add 20 of each and every one of these product ideas. Do it before it's too late. It's gonna take your buyer's time to see your products. As I mentioned, it's gonna take them time to decide if they want it. Some of them it's gonna take them time to purchase, add it to their cart and purchase. And if your customers are international, if you're not shipping domestically, like from the US to the US, from the UK to the UK, but if you drop shipping from China to New Zealand or to any other country, it's gonna take too much time to reach your customer. And you could miss that time if you're only adding those products now.   But soon drop shipping from China for Halloween is not gonna be very relevant, okay? So when you're about three weeks away, two weeks away from Halloween, stop drop shipping from China, okay? Drop ship domestically so that your buyers will get your products quickly before Halloween comes up. If they're gonna get it after Halloween, that's another return, that's another refund for you to send. Okay, so let's stay away from that and know when is the right time to start. Right now, add your Halloween products right after watching this live, if you haven't done so yet. Okay, and don't forget that you've got more holidays after that. Okay, you've got Black Friday, okay, you've got Christmas, you've got Cyber Monday right after Black Friday, you've got Thanksgiving somewhere there in between and a good way for you guys to not miss out on these holidays is to use the e-commerce calendar. Again, it's 100% for free, guys. You don't have to pay for the calendar. Head over to autods.com. I'm not sure exactly why I think we put it also here, yeah. So resources, e-commerce calendar. Okay, click on that. Click on get your calendar. Enter your name and your email address. Click on get your free calendar and that's it, the e-commerce calendar has now been added to my calendar. So as you see right here, I've got Rosh Hashanah, that's a Jewish holiday. So we've got a three-day holiday right here and today is Ask a Stupid Question Day. But if we continue to the next month, let's see what we have. So let's go to the end of October. Lo and behold, on the 31st of October, we've got Halloween. And if I click on Halloween, then I can see what I should be doing for Halloween. So, oh, check it out. There's a blog article with a link and you also have what target audience, what audience you want to target for Halloween and more store recommendations. And if I click on the link, I'll be directed back to that article that I just showed you guys with a video embedded inside. So if you want to watch, you can watch. And if you simply want to take these products, copy and paste them to your suppliers, add them to your stores, enjoy those sales, go ahead and do that. But add the e-commerce calendar so that you guys will never miss out on another e-commerce dropshipping holiday. It's always good to know when the holidays are going to start and the e-commerce calendar is going to help you with that. Okay, so get your e-commerce calendar, what like I said, 100% for free. And that way you can also set reminders way, way, way up in advance. And you won't be like, oh, Halloween is coming up in two weeks. Let's add those products to my store now and maybe enjoy a couple of sales and a couple of mad customers for getting it after Halloween. Okay guys, so take those tips into consideration. It's going to help you get a good boost to your business. Okay, I can see a lot of people are typing in the live chat so you guys can continue writing down your questions, whether you're seeing us, whether you're watching me on YouTube, whether you're watching me on Facebook, ask your questions in the live chat and I will address them very, very soon. Sorry for starting this live 30 minutes too late. It's only because, actually I have to get to the questions now. It's only because I created a new live by accident instead of going to the proper one that you guys all had a reminder for and that you guys all joined the same minute that I started it. So yeah, I was talking 30 minutes almost to myself and now I'm finally talking to you guys. Sorry about this one, it won't happen again. We're all human, we're all bound to make mistakes at one point or another. As long as we learn from our mistakes and learn to improve ourselves the next time and that next time again and again and that also of course is very relevant to having owning your own dropshipping e-commerce business. Guys, any questions that you want asked them in the live chat, I'm going to start addressing it right now. I've already addressed the questions that you asked on the Facebook group in the first 30 minutes of the live. Okay, so I talked about aquiline tracking, removing your eBay flag and what to do if you only have three items and you request a limit increase and you couldn't get it. I already answered that so if you want to see the answers to that after this live is over, just watch it again from the beginning and you guys will be able to see it. But yeah, right now let's start with the questions that you guys asked in the live chat Q&A. If you haven't asked your question yet, now is the time I'm still gonna be able to get to it, I will still have time. Okay, let's get started. Haileeran Lee from the UK. Hello, Lee. Haileeran, hello, Handy Trendy. Any questions for me today? Hello, Shakoria. Let me move the screen here. It'll be easier for me. BJ Schultz, he is a great entrepreneur. That's cool. That's cool. Ask him if he wants to be interviewed here, if he's really big. Hi, is there any way to convert TN of Amazon without Trackerbot, please? Hi, Marco. If you're using automatic orders, then Autodesk can handle your tracking conversions for you. If you're not using automatic orders, then I'm not really sure. But yeah, just use auto orders if you want to have good tracking conversions, especially if you want to automate it. Best proxy for open eBay Israel. Okay, 91M, hello. First of all, I recommend using multi-login. We also have a video with them, a video interview where you can learn also how to use their service. They have a very good way to be able to open up multiple accounts without one being able to detect the other. And they also have a list of recommended proxies that they use. There is many proxy service providers out there. Some are high-quality, some are low-quality. Some will provide recycled IP addresses that have already been used in the past, which is not good. And some of them will simply provide really low-quality IPs, even if they are new. If you're dropshipping in sophisticated places like eBay or Amazon, they will really easily be able to tell that you're using a proxy and they'll most likely suspend your account. So you want to use a good proxy service provider and that you can also learn from multi-login. So I just have you respectfully, respectfully go to our YouTube channel. Okay, and here you want to search for multi-login. They watch this interview right here, how to create multiple self-account with multi-login and that's it, whoopsie. Yeah, and that's it, that should help you there. Greetings from Mexico, greeting. Hey, I think I saw you from the previous live, right? When should I hire a virtual assistant to manage my AutoDS eBay account and customer service? Born phase, great question, let's answer that. So when is a good time to hire a virtual assistant? First of all, you want to hire a virtual assistant only after you know your business really, really well. This means that you know how to conduct product research and get good products that are selling on your store. You know how to import them to your store. You know how to use everything that has to do with automation. You know how to price your items the right way. You know exactly what your break even is, what your expenses are and how much you're profiting. You also know how to, of course, use the automation software that you have. So if using AutoDS and you want to add virtual assistants through AutoDS, then you want to go through every section that AutoDS has and how to utilize it to the best when it comes to store settings, pricing settings, pricing automation. You want to learn how to use all of that.  And you can teach them if you don't know it yourself. Don't expect them to go and learn how to run your business. So once you have a clear idea of your goals, where you want to get to, how to control everything inside your business, then you want to only after you have, of course, control of all of that, only then do you want to even think about hiring a virtual assistant. Of course, you're going to need that extra budget on the side, but it definitely, definitely pays off. If you know how to run your business well and if you know what you're looking for in a virtual assistant and to help you with that, if you want to look for places where people are looking to work as a virtual assistant, they've worked for it in the past, they have experience and they can help you get started. You know, they can help you scale your store. They can help you with things like product research, importing products, fulfilling orders, handling customer service. Then we have a post on our Facebook, we should have it on our Facebook community. Let me just see it really quick. Adodias Facebook community. Okay, I'll share my screen. I'll show it to you guys. Let's click on the share. So here on the community page, if you look at the pin posts here and you just move over a little bit to the right, you have the virtual assistants marketplace right here. Okay, and once you click on it like I just did, you're gonna click on the link and down here in the comments below, actually, I think this is the new one that we created. No, this is the old one. Hold on, let me just go back one. No, okay, so this one right here, we've got almost a thousand comments. Okay, these are all of the virtual assistants who are looking for jobs. Okay, so here, just read this one. Read this post, okay? See all of the people who are looking to work as VAs. Many of them have experience, many of them know what to do already. Many of them even show videos of their work. Okay, so go to this post, start messaging them, start testing them out and hire your virtual assistant from here. I'm sure that it's gonna help you find the one that you are looking for. Sometimes you may have to go through a few to find the right one and that is completely fine. Okay, every business owner has to go through that, but this is definitely, definitely, definitely gonna help you find those virtual assistants that you need for your business. So when is the right time to do it? The right time to do it is, like I said, when you know how to run your business. It doesn't matter if you're making sales yet or not, if you have the budget for a virtual assistant, you know how to run your business, you know what you're looking for, you know what your goals are, go ahead and hire them and help them shave off that time for you so that you can focus your efforts into growing, adding, creating more stores, hiring more virtual assistants, but of course only do that after you're making sales and profits from your first one, but that way you can really expand and really make it to huge, huge numbers. Okay, so good luck with that. And of course, don't hesitate to let me know how it went after you hired your first virtual assistant. All right, moving down. My copy to Clipboard isn't working. If you're talking second to none about the Facebook marketplace, you don't have to use that feature anymore. We have a new extension. You don't have to copy to Clipboard anymore. Well, we're going to schedule, we're going to upload a video this Friday to show you how to use the new Facebook marketplace importer feature where you don't have to copy details from one to the other. As soon as you add the products to the drafts page of AutoDS, you will see it on a dropdown menu on your Facebook marketplace account. You'll be able to simply choose the product from there and all of the listings details will be added. Okay, so more information on that coming up on Friday's video. I'm not sure what you're talking about yet, dollar deal. Hello from Columbia, hello, Juan. Jim Smith, hello to you too. And then I bought AutoDS, it's been four days. I couldn't sell anything. It says I can't import because of missing information on my eBay, please respond. Okay, Zane, that's the technical, that's exactly the technical issues that I was talking about. You need to open up a help support ticket with that. I have no idea what's going on in your computer, what you're trying to do there and what happened in the middle. Okay, so that's what the technical support is here for. And I'm here to help you simply with, help your e-commerce business itself in general, what to sell, how to sell, where to sell, what to target, where to target, anything that has to do with helping your e-commerce business take the next step. Where can we get that queue for e-books to write? So I showed you handy-trendy, head over to AutoDS. You've got that book right there, hover over resources on the top and click on e-books. Great book, thank you, dollar deal. Hi, I have joined AutoDS. Hello, Cynthia, good luck. If you need, if you have any questions, if you need any more information even after this live is over, just head over to our blog page, head over to our YouTube channel, start diving deep into the great, huge, vast amount of content that we have out there. And I'm sure that it'll help you even though there's so much content but help you kind of realize where you're at, what you can do and how to do it the best way. And of course, join me in these live Q&As. I host them every two weeks where you can personally ask me your questions. If you guys need one-on-one mentorship, we have Daniel, he's our mentor here at AutoDS. So if you guys wanna join the mentorship program, you can also do so. This way you'll have a one-on-one mentor that will help you with anything that you guys need. And we also have a new Discord server. So if you wanna join our Discord server, again, head over to autoDS.com, scroll down all the way, you'll see the Discord icon, click on it and you'll join our Discord server. Our Discord server and our Facebook community are the top two places where dropshippers help other dropshippers succeed. Now, granted, our Facebook community is much larger right now at this point because it's been around for a while and Discord is relatively new. So if you've been around in our community, also join our Discord channel. If you haven't been to both, I highly suggest joining both our Facebook community and our Discord channel. And this way you'll also get help from other dropshippers in the same field as you with better experience. Maybe some will have more, some will have less, but they all help each other succeed. And I also jump in there every once in a while to help out some people who need help. So definitely take advantage of that. And hello and welcome. Hello, Saiku, Saiku, Saiku Turei, hello. How to deal with long shipping days. Do you think I'm going to have any obstacles trying to create my dropshipping start to sell in the U.S. from Columbia? Ah Juan, the question is, are you going to be dropshipping products from Columbia to the U.S.? Then yeah, shipping is gonna take a long time, but there's, I'm not sure if that's a good idea because you can always dropship from the U.S. To the U.S., you pretty much have a range of any product that you can think of selling and sell it to the same audience with fast shipping, domestic shipping. And that's how you're gonna deal with long shipping days. If you still want to dropship products from Columbia to the U.S., by the way, you should also try Columbia to Columbia. But if you still wanna go with Columbia to the U.S., then I highly suggest making sure that your customers are fully aware of the fact that their products are not gonna arrive in like a few days. Okay, so make sure that your shipping policies are clear in how long it will take the product to reach your buyers, but take into consideration that most buyers are not happy getting their products in more than one week, more than one week's time, okay? Which is usually what happens with international orders. My question is, how to manage Amazon packaging and dropshipping? Dollar deal, that is not an issue today, okay?  I didn't really start late, but I hosted it with a wrong link in the first 30 minutes. So your customers, it shows that you haven't tried dropshipping from Amazon yet. By the way, guys, I highly suggest using multiple dropshipping suppliers. Don't work only with Amazon. I know that it's easy, it's convenient.  You can also use automatic orders to help you with that. You can use the Fulfilled by AutoDS service, but right now it's currently handling orders over $25. I highly suggest working with other suppliers like Walmart, like CJ Dropshipping and so many more that you have out there who don't have the same problems as Amazon. Not saying that it's not possible to work with Amazon, it is, but it's much harder today. But still, yeah, you're gonna drop you from Amazon.  Most of them will simply not care. They're not even gonna contact you about it. And in the rare occasion where a customer asks me why did the package come in Amazon packaging, I simply let them know that we shipped from multiple locations around the U.S. And one of those locations can be through Amazon's fulfillment warehouse. And if they're happy about their products, we're happy. They wanna return it, they always can, right? They have those 30 days. I haven't had a return from a customer who knew that I bought from Amazon. I've had maybe one angry customer out of tens of thousands that I'm not exaggerating, who gave me a negative review. That's it. It's so rare that you won't have to put up with it. So don't even worry about it, really. Just try it. Later on, you'll see that I'm right. Can I have your internship? Yeah, you have the mentorship program, which I talked about a couple of minutes ago at our deal. I'll go check it out on our website. Unboarding, the videos, articles are helpful. However, inevitably, as a new user, there are tons of questions once starting on Autodesk. Can you offer live support Zoom option during onboarding? I'm really surprised that you said this. Alejandra, Alejandra, Alejandra, Tehran. I'm really surprised that you said this because we actually were actually doing this. This is a new feature that we're going to roll out soon. So I created an onboarding video starting off with eBay. Okay, so if you're starting off with eBay, you have no idea how to start. You just signed into Autodesk. You just connected to your store, but you're not sure what's next. First thing you're gonna get is an onboarding video. Now, like you said, there's so much content out there.  We're gonna be mixed with questions, and it's inevitable, like you said. So what's gonna happen here is after you watch that onboarding, that quick onboarding video, not quick, it's about almost an hour long, but after you watch that video, you'll also be connected to a live session with me, about 15 minutes long, where I can simply help you take the first steps in your eBay account. Okay, so we've noticed that there's a lot of people who need help with this specific section. And like I said, I'm really surprised that you came up with an idea that we have already started to implement in the system. But very nice Alejandro, thank you for thinking of that. Thank you for the comments. If you guys wanna make any requests, okay, on Autodesk, you can simply do it from within the system if you're a member. Okay, simply let me share my screen and show you guys. Even if you're not a member, you can do it. Okay, if you wanna see any new features, if you wanna have any tips like what Alejandro just said. Okay, so what you wanna do is head over to the Autodesk platform. I think I already have it open. Yup, right here. Okay, and here you're gonna click on the circle icon right up here. Then you're gonna click on feature requests right here. And here you can make a feature request. So you can ask for a feature, you can ask for content, you can ask for anything. First search for it to see if somebody already created a vote for it. And then you can simply upvote them. And once we have enough votes, it moves to the plan section. Like for example, right now we've got drop shipping on Amazon. So the Amazon selling channel is planned, all right, for the developers. Amazon, Australian order automation. Also, just move to planned. It's gonna, it's going to roll out sometime soon.  So when your balance runs down to zero after you have automatic orders, you're gonna have automatic balance of refill if you want it. So we're gonna add that feature. Then we have everything that's already in progress. So the bundling option for importing products, adding WooCommerce as a sales channel. So like I said in this slide, we've got WooCommerce, we've got Amazon coming soon. Facebook marketplace, automatic order fulfillment, fulfilled by Autodesk. This is something that many people ask for. It's in progress right now. More carrier selection for AliExpress. And what's live right now. The last feature that just went live, I think it was last week, is using credit card for the auto fulfillment service. So for the fulfilled by Autodesk service, you can now top up your balance using your credit card and not just PayPal or Payoneer and the options that you had there. Okay, and any other thing that we had. So make your vote here. If you're not an Autodesk member yet, you can do it at feedback. That Autodesk.com and here you can create your own vote. Okay, so we have it internal in the system and we also have it web-based. Okay, and this is where we take a lot of great ideas and we simply turn them into a feature on Autodesk. Okay, so I hope that I answered you there. Let's continue with the questions. Could you explain what are the benefits of using Aqualine? Yes, Elle, I actually did it in the beginning of this live, but the first 30 minutes of this live was done on a different link accidentally and then I added this link to the live. So we were probably gonna have two live videos after this on our channel with the same title. One is gonna be 30 minutes long, the other is gonna be about an hour. But you just watched the hourly long one from the start and I went over Aqualine and everything that has to do with it. Chat support is helpful to a certain extent but live screen sharing on boarding call would be much better and more efficient to start with on Autodesk. I completely agree and that is why we're gonna have that soon. We're working on it as we speak. Do you source products? Do you mean if we are the supplier? We soon will be with that feature that I mentioned about having private suppliers adding products inside the Autodesk product research system that you can easily add to your stores and you can simply see Autodesk as a supplier there. Dollar deal, I think I answered everything. When will Autodesk be available for Facebook shops? So it is Abraar. I think I know that I already showed it in this live but if you wanna learn about it simply head over to Autodesk.com. Let me just show you, share my screen. Okay, head over to Autodesk.com slash blog or just Autodesk.com hover over resources, click on blog and this is, it's our newest article. So how to drop ship on Facebook shops, the ultimate guide. You have a step by step guide on how to get your store started there. You know how to go through the technicalities and then how to actually start your store, research for products, add them to your store, start the automation, start getting yourselves in profit. Okay, so it's all there. All right, continuing. Luan, what is the difference between break even and profit percentage? Okay, Thanos, that's a fair question. Very fair. So break even is what your fees are. How much are you paying before you actually start to see any profit and your profit percentage is how much you're actually gonna profit.  So first you have your product costs. So let's take this example. Let's say I'm drop shipping a product from Walmart and on Walmart, on Walmart it costs $20. I'm drop shipping this product for $50. So between $20 and $50, we have $30, right? But are we actually gonna make all those $30 on this profit? No, because we have our break even. We have some fees that we need to pay before we actually start to see that profit. So if for example, I have $30 profit, but eBay for example, I'm drop shipping on eBay. So eBay is gonna take let's say 15% to themselves from the product price, from the $50 price tag that I sold for, then they're going to deduct 15% from that. Okay, so that's about $12 from $50, is about 10% is five and another half. So about $7.5 are gonna take for themselves, right? So that is your break even.  So first you've got your break even and then you've got how much profit you wanna make after your selling fees. So your selling fees is your break even, okay? And the product costs, so it cost me $20 and plus another $7.5 because I paid because I have 15% break even on that $50, okay? And then you're gonna make your profit percentage on top of that. So your break even percentage, for example, is 15% because that's how much eBay let's say is taking on average from an order. And then you're gonna make another let's say 50, 40, 30% profit on top of that because you actually wanna make some profit, right? That's what we're here to do. I hope that it was clear, but let me know if it's not. My eBay store is focused on health and beauty. Can I have a problem selling Halloween or Christmas products? I mean, can my clients see it as something strange to make sneezes? Mainly no, I'm not sure, especially because you're in an eBay store, most of your customers, they're gonna go to your product listing because they search for something on eBay, they didn't search for your store, they just search for a product and then they're gonna see your product listing on the search results on eBay.  So most buyers are not going to click on your storefront on eBay. Okay, that's simply what buyers usually naturally do on eBay. So it's not like if you have a store on Shopify or Wix where you have your own domain name and you're on a website, then you'll click to go to see the main page on eBay, it doesn't happen much. So you shouldn't have any problem at all, sell them, okay? Take note of what products sold from them, okay? Add tags throughout ODS. So when you're adding a product from Halloween, add a Halloween tag if you're selling Christmas products at Christmas tags. So that after that certain holiday event is over, like after Halloween is over, check out your Halloween tag and see how well that product, how well that tag performed for you, all of the products that you have under that tag. Take note of the ones that actually sold so that when next year comes, you'll already have your best sellers from your own experience and you're gonna continue adding more products, test out more products so that this way every year, it's the compounding effect. Every year you're just simply gonna grow bigger and bigger and it's gonna be amazing after a few of these holidays. So it's okay to mix niches, especially if you're on eBay. If you find something that's selling really well for you, then you can think about creating a new store for that. But on eBay, it's not as relevant as it is in other platforms like Shopify. How to deal with long shipping delays? Do you think I'm gonna have any obstacles trying to create my drop shipping store itself? Yeah, I already answered this one. Schultz, how can I be given more sales possibilities through FBA fulfilled by AutoDS? Would I get more if I put in more money? No, you will get more sales, B.J. Schultz. If you work hard when it comes to product research, product research requires a lot of work, but it's worth it. And of course, adding more products to your stores. Now it depends on what selling channel you're using. If you're on eBay, the more products that you have, the more relevant products that you add to your store, the more sales you're gonna make. It's that simple.  This means that you need to put a budget aside for marketing. And if you did a good job on product research, if you did a good job on marketing, you're gonna make those sales. So it doesn't matter if you have the fulfilled by AutoDS on or off, it's not going to increase your possibility of selling more. But it will, if you take a look at the fact that it's saving you the time, fulfilling those orders by yourself, it's gonna save you a lot of time from that. So if you have 50 orders per day, just sitting down and typing them all day, fulfilling the orders and making sure you're not making any mistakes, that's gonna take up a lot of time for you from you. And you're gonna be able to make up that time if you have fulfilled by AutoDS or order automation on, because now you don't have to worry about them. You know that as soon as you get an order, it's gonna be sent out. Tracking information is gonna be uploaded automatically and you won't have to worry about if it's gonna get out, if it reached a buyer, did I send it out to the wrong address? You won't need to worry about any of that. So you can see it as something that can save you. Yes, I was in the last live, okay, good to know. I knew it, by the way. Any update on less than $2,500 in Amazon orders, please, sorry, I don't have any. I also, I'm also not the first one who gets updated on it, but you guys as AutoDS members, you will know maybe even before me. What's on the product roadmap to automate Facebook Marketplace listings. What other AutoDS features and capabilities do you plan to release by when that, that you plan to release by when that will be, that will benefit users, thanks. Okay, so Alejandra, I just showed you some ways that you can see what we have on the roadmap up ahead if you go to the upvote section that I showed you a few minutes ago. So you can also see it at feedback.autodds.com or just click on that circle on the AutoDS platform and click on feature request. You can see everything that we have coming up. Automate Facebook Marketplace listings is already up and running. We updated the Facebook Marketplace extension a couple of weeks ago and now you have a better automation there, faster product importing and of course price and stock monitoring. So that's already working. And more features and capabilities, like I said, go to upvote and learn about new selling channels, new features, all of that that I just went over a few minutes ago. What are the differences between API? By the way, we have a lot more than that Alejandra, like we can't list everything that we're working on, but the main things are where I just talked about. What are the differences between API and non-API and does it cause the account to get flagged? So it doesn't cause your account to get flagged. Guys, I'm really sorry, I'm gonna have to wrap this up but I'm gonna try to zip through this really quick. So we have an article on that, it's in me boys. Okay, API and non-API. The main difference is it's not gonna, it doesn't matter, both accounts are gonna get flagged sooner or later if you're using our retail drop shipping. Doesn't matter in terms of account suspensions, it's also the same. If you know how to work right, you can do it both, you can do it on both platforms. Non-API costs a little bit more and it doesn't have full automation because you have to have the extension on at all times. Once you turn off your computer, no more automation because eBay stopped working with the file exchange and it's just not that convenient, not that practical. I would say just go with API. How can I generate traffic to eBay? Items from AutoDS to eBay more than one week have not even one view, is that normal? Not normal, make sure that the account isn't good standing on eBay. And there's a few good things that you can do, you can add promoted listing standard, promoted listings advance. Okay, standard is when you give eBay a certain percentage and only after they make a sale promoting your products, they'll take that percentage from the transaction fee as a transaction fee. You also have promoted listings advance, which is eBay's PPC feature. So pay per click ads, you're gonna pay for every click, but this way you're gonna get great data on what products are interesting and what people are actually searching for to get to your product and lots more information there. And you can also use buyer sending offers, you can send offers yourself. There's much more tips and tricks. You can learn all about that on our blog page. We have an article on increasing eBay's sales. Let's, I don't have the time to search for it, but we have an article on it, eBay marketing strategy, something like that. All of the methods that I just talked about and more are listed there and how to do it. Hi, is Aqualine only used by dropshippers or anyone else using them? I think it's only dropshippers, I like to say import SaaS. I think it's only being used by dropshippers. Okay, question three, auto finder, are there plans to enhance this feature to allow users to control the category and other parameters, price range, reviews, et cetera. That's a great question, Alejandra. Can you ask it maybe in the, can you make a feature request, see if anyone made a feature request for that? I'm not sure if we have, not to my knowledge, if we have anything on that. Okay, if we're going to update that, but I've heard about it before, so I'm not sure. But not that I know of, okay? But you can always make a content request for that. But you can also use our product research tool. You can also use the finder, of course. It helps you find great products, like out of the bunch, but also use the product research tool. I'm sure that it'll help you. How can I manage Amazon packaging and dropshipping already went over that? I'm actually like moving to dropshipping a lot here, I don't think it's an interesting comment.  What are the differences between API and non-API? It went over that. I don't mean videos, but live support. Yeah, I mean live support, Alejandra. So you're gonna have a video that will help you. And at the end of the video, you're gonna join a live session with me, where I'm gonna help you with everything that you need during the onboarding process. Okay, so what you actually said is something that we're actually working on, it's in progress. I'm interested in the live session with you. How do I schedule it? You'll know Alejandra, we're working, we're rolling out this feature. Okay, so the onboarding video is finished, and now we just need to create the whole of how it works around it and implement it inside the system and synchronize the live sessions and create the live sessions. And there's still some work to do, but we're on it. We're on it, it's a good idea. We've already thought about it. I'm glad that you thought about it too, because I know that that's one way of me knowing that people are actually looking for this feature, and you're gonna enjoy that soon. I hope to see you soon there. I would like to know if tomorrow it will be available as I said under, I really don't know, sorry. That's the technical stuff. That's the technical stuff, I know. Monthly subscription payments, annual one-time payment. You have both. You have monthly subscription payments, and you have annual one-time. You don't only have one. You can choose whatever you want. Nope, I don't ignore questions. I think I remember you from the previous one also. Hey guys, I'm not skipping out on anything. You guys should know me well enough by now when there'll be better tracking numbers since it fails enough these days. What do you mean? Tracking numbers are working quite well for me. Thanks for answering. My idea is to drop ship China to the US, nothing related to Colombia. So yeah, you can definitely do it, Kuan, but also do US to US. Okay, I know that you're looking for the cheap, cheap, cheap prices at China, and that's fine, but test the waters. Test China, test US, test more places. Okay, US is simply gonna give you really fast shipping. Okay, gonna wrap this up. What's the best thing to put for profit setting? I wish that there was one answer for the profit setting, but me personally, 15% break, even when I'm dropping from eBay with another 50% profit. Right now I raised all of my products below $25 to $150 to 200% profit so that I can fulfill them on my own, even using non-prime accounts, even if I have to pay $6 for shipping with 200% profit margin settings, you won't have any problem paying for that also, and also fulfilling those orders. But 15% and 50%, 15% break even and 50% profit margin is how that's how I roll with my stores. eBay listing promotion is good for giant sales in long-term. Mojure, I've been using promoted listings ever since I know myself, ever since I've been dropshipping on eBay, and I still have it on, like the same campaign for years has been running now. I only give eBay 2% by the way. It used to be 1%, but they recently upgraded it to 2% as a minimum, and that's what I give them because once your account is flagged, it doesn't matter if you give them 20% or 2%, you're pretty much gonna make the same amount of sales. So you might as well give them the minimum and try to get the maximum from that. Okay, so that's my strategy there. It is okay, it is. Thank you, all right. Guys, any more questions? Any more questions? I have an eBay user with three items and I requested a limit increase, but they told me that my account was marked because I buy from a third party to send to the product directly. How can I fix this? I address that in this live, okay? Please watch this live from the beginning. I address that same issue. Feature request, move drafts from one store eBay to another from Facebook. So a draft from eBay to a draft from Facebook or vice versa, this would save tons of time. If you could tell Autodesk where to publish a draft without having to reapply products. But Alejandro, you can do that on Autodesk. When you're adding products, Autodesk asks you what stores you wanna add these products to. And then you can select multiple stores. So you can add it to your Facebook store, to your eBay store, into your Shopify store. At the same time, you can only add it to one store, some stores. And yeah, that actually does exist. So let me know exactly, you don't have to re-upload products. Okay, so let me know if I misunderstood you there. Thank you for the update, you're welcome. Guys, but by the way, we're working on it, right? We're not just sitting on our hands a $25 issue for the fulfilled by Autodesk. I know that it's really important. I'm waiting for it on my stores too. Yeah, just be patient. Just be patient, we're gonna get it fixed. But you can also fulfill your orders by yourself, at least for the under $25 ones. That's what I'm doing with my accounts and it's working. Yeah. Is there a limit to listing products in eBay in a day? And is there a limit to the leading products in one day? Great questions, L, let me know if it's L or Ali. I just wanna say your name the right way. So there is no limit on eBay, but eBay does have a bot scanning to see what's going on. So if you raise any red flags, like if they see that you listed hundreds of products per day, like in one day, then they could suspend your account, not permanently, but temporarily, just to kind of get you on the phone and understand like what's going on, like is this a store? What's your business model? Are you doing something dangerous? You know, just to make sure that you can ship your products on time and that you know what you're doing and that it's not, you know, by mistake, that so many products were added during one day. But usually I have no problem adding 10, 20, 30, 50 products per day, but it really depends on your history with eBay. How long you've been selling for? If you have an established seller account, then it shouldn't be much of a problem. If it's a new account, limit it to about 10, 15 more products per day. Deleting products, same thing as adding products, I would say. I don't limit myself, but I also don't like jump way overboard because I don't want any surprises. Thank you so much. I appreciate, thank you. I also appreciate you saying thank you and appreciating it. What countries should I do dropshipping to and which not? For me, the best countries today to dropship to are the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Australia. I would say these are my top five. Okay, and check around. You'll see that these are the top five countries in terms of purchasing power every year in e-commerce sales and they keep purchasing more and more every year. So that would be my top five. Okay, okay. Thanks for answering. You're definitely welcome. I think we're gonna wrap it up. What countries should I dropship to and which not? We already answered that. How do you know if your ebay account has been flagged? You will notice, you get a message from them. It's really easy from their message. You missed using their item location policy or dropshipping policy if you're dropshipping from retailers. And that's it. They're still gonna keep your account alive but you'll notice a drop in views and sold listings. Of course you can avoid that. You can completely avoid that from happening if you're not dropshipping from retailers and if you're dropshipping from wholesalers and doing, you know, all of that. But even if you do get flagged and you have enough account limits, it doesn't really matter. That's the way that I'm doing it with my ebay stores. And yeah, the more listings you have, the better your product research. That's what matters at the end of the day. Okay, I think that's it. I think that's it. I think that was technical, right? For me this data tracking number is following any solutions. It's working for me. Fufuba AutoDS, what's a $25 limit? It's only sending temporary Alejandro. It's not really interesting at this point because by the time people are gonna watch this live in the future, it's not gonna be an issue anymore. But right now, Fufuba AutoDS only for Amazon works on orders over $25. Under $25, you can simply fulfill it yourself. You can also automatically fulfill it yourself using your buyer account on AutoDS. But yeah, that's just something really, really quick. Okay, I'm gonna end it up. Thank you guys for joining. Thank you, Lee. Thank you for saying good content. Guys, thank you for joining this live Q&A. I wish I would have had more time. Two weeks from now, I'm not gonna create it using the wrong links. So we'll have an hour session instead of the 45 minutes that we just had right now. But I've overall been hosting this live for about almost an hour and a half now. So thank you. I will see you guys in a couple of weeks. Round up your questions. I can't wait to help you guys take the next step. Subscribe to our YouTube channel if you haven't done so yet. YouTube.com slash AutoDS. Go get your Q4 eBook now. I'm gonna leave a link to it right below this video.


Nobody knows what to do with preservation and virtual reality yet. Yup. Because nobody's done it yet, right? We're just at the beginning. And wherever you step in, like they say, it's going to be easier and easier because they're making it easier and easier.  And don't be ever scared because really, it's kind of like a need to know basis, right? You have a challenge because it's, and it's also not about the technology, right? The stories you're telling and the things you're preserving, that's really the heart of it, right? You can't just throw technology and make it awesome, right? So once you figure out what your objectives are, you figure out what tools to use, and you just try it and you just experiment because there are no rule books and it's going to be clumsy at first. You know, one of the things I recommend, the people just block out two hours a week. Block out two hours a week. Just to sit and read about what people are doing or call up a company and say, you have a VR rig. Can I come and try it out? You know what I mean? Like it's really just about getting your toes wet and then doing that every week, you know what I mean? Because this stuff, what you typed in the search engine last month about virtual reality cameras or whatever is totally different than what you're going to type in and the results you're going to get the next month, right? So it's all kind of a moving target. Don't worry about knowing everything. You're not going to master it. Nobody's going to master it. It's a moving, moving target. So just jump in.


beginning at verse one reading to verse three and then I'm going to give you a prolonged introduction and Get into the study Jonah chapter one beginning at verse one now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of amity saying arise Go to Nineveh that great city and cry out against it for their wickedness has come up before me But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish So he paid the fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord Let me give you an introduction to the book of Jonah and then what we'll do is we'll develop this study and Look at some very basic things about it's only 17 verses And so we ought to be able to cover most of this tonight in a very Fairly casual, but factual way. Let me give you the background Jonah is a prophet Jonah lived around 760 before Christ and he was from a region called Zebulun Which is by the in the north by the Sea of Galilee according to second Kings 1425 Jonah ministered as a prophet during the reign of a king named Jeroboam the second who was the king of Israel Jonah is often referred to as the reluctant prophet and That's because after his initial call he chose to flee rather than fulfill the commission God had given to him Now I immediately find this interesting especially when you compare it with the call of other Galileans When we're looking in the gospel of Matthew for example in chapter 2 verses 20 and verse 22 Those verses tell us that Peter James John and Andrew after receiving the call from the Lord immediately responded and answered But Jonah on the other hand Rejected the call and actually tried to escape from God Now in this book God has a message he has a message for an ancient and evil city called Nineveh Nineveh was the ancient capital city of Assyria Assyria is ancient Iraq and It was the greatest city of its day When you look at the Bible you discover in Genesis chapter 10 verses 8 through 11 That this city was founded by a man by the name of Nimrod When you read concerning Nimrod you might find it interesting to know it and I'm not going to give you a study Concerning Nimrod, but it's interesting when you look at him that his name meant rebellion and So this city was actually founded by a man named rebellion in Genesis chapter 10 verses 8 through 11. It says Kush was the father of Nimrod who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth He was a mighty hunter before the Lord That is why it is said like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord And when you look at like Nimrod a mighty hunter The literal translation as I have seen it through commentators is like this like Nimrod a mighty hunter of men Before or against the Lord. That's what he was all about so the first centers of his kingdom were Babylon Eric Akkad and Colne in Shinar from that land he went to Assyria where he built Nineveh, so it's a very ancient city During the time of Jonah again 760 BC Nineveh had become a great city According to chapter 4 when we get there verse 11 it had a population of no less than a hundred and twenty thousand Now to you that may not mean much because obviously here we here in the United States have cities that number in the millions When you combine for example Chino Chino Hills you have over 120,000 people by itself Ontario's got like 180,000 people So we don't really think in terms of of that being large But indeed it was because most of the cities in all would have been very small in population and and many would have really been called Like villages so when you have a city of no less than a hundred and twenty thousand that really in ancient times Was an immense an immense city it took three days to walk around this city if you include walking through what would be called the suburbs and If you began to go into the center of the city it was a full day's journey It was an extremely wicked nation It was known for extreme cruelties when you look into some history related to to Assyria and all There are certain things that I gleaned so I can give you instances of this from some of the The chronicles of its kings from the histories of its kings and there are comments that they wrote that were discovered That have been preserved and these are things that were written by some of their kings for example there was a king named Asher Nasser Paul and He wrote he wrote I stormed the mountain peaks and took them in the midst of the mighty mountain I slaughtered them with their blood. I died the mountain red like wool the heads of their warriors I cut off and I formed them into a pillar over against their wall their young men and their maidens I burned in the fire He wrote concerning the capture of a leader He wrote concerning this I flayed him his skin. I spread upon the wall of the city He spoke of mutilating bodies of live captives stacking their corpses in piles That was Asher Nasser Paul Shalman Esser Boasted the second boasted of his cruelties after campaign. He said a pyramid of heads I reared in front of his city their youths and their maidens. I burnt up in flames Then you have Sennacherib.  I cut off Then you have Asher Bonapal He was describing the treatment of a captured leader. He said I pierced his chin with my keen hand dagger Through his jaw I passed a rope put a dog chain upon him and made him occupy a kennel He later boasted of hanging Egyptian corpses on stakes and stripped off their skins and covered the city walls with them These were nice guys No wonder the prophet Naim wrote concerning Nineveh in Naim chapter 3 verse 1 woe to the city of blood Full of lies full of plunder never without victims He said in chapter 3 verse 19 nothing can heal your wound your injury is fatal Everyone who hears the news about you claps his hands at your fall for who has not felt your endless cruelty so Assyria its capital city Nineveh had a terrible reputation an evil reputation It was horribly evil and yet in spite of this incredible evil God Desires to deliver them from impending judgment When you look at the book of Jonah, what is its message? Let me give you some things to see again lane its context so that as I read through it You'll get a grasp of it a better grasp One of the things you see the first thing you see the message of the book is that God loves the whole world God loves the whole world not just a single person and not just a single nation He loves the world John 3 16 God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life First lesson we can glean from this is God loves the whole world You see Israel was to reveal the love of God to the world as The elect Covenantal nation of God Isaiah 49 3 Reads he said to me you are my servant. Oh Israel in whom I will be glorified Paul and 1st Timothy 2 3 and 4 said it like this This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior Who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth? God loves the world and would have all men to be saved So this book serves to remind Israel of its missionary purpose Secondly the book reveals that God will have his way because after all he is the Lord of all the earth Israel has been unfaithful Unfaithful in his mission yet. God still wants his message to be delivered And he made sure his message of salvation is delivered even as we'll see in chapter 2 verse 9 Where Jonah says salvation is of the Lord A third thing we see is the response of the Gentiles because the response of the Gentiles serves as a rebuke to sinful Israel You see the response of the pagan sailors serves as a contrast with Jonah's hostility These these people were concerned with a Jewish prophet But he wasn't concerned with a great city and his hatred for the Ninevites prejudiced him against preaching repentance for salvation You know, there are people even today in the church who would not have any problem whatsoever Hearing that somebody that they don't like died and went to hell They still have that kind of mentality Somebody offended somebody hurt them somebody did something wrong to them and they're almost reading their obituaries waiting just to see that name in it So they can rejoice and that was unfortunately the heart of Jonah And a fourth thing before we get into the actual study of the book a fourth thing is Jonah is a symbol to Israel of the nation's disobedience to God and indifference Jonah was disobedient to God He fled when God said to go and When he's taken into that great fish It's a picture of God's displeasure with the nation of Israel But when he repents it represents God's desire to forgive and to restore and to use for his glory That's what we're going to see as we begin this study of the book of Jonah verse 1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amitye the word of the Lord The word of the Lord came is a phrase that reveals Jonah to be a prophet He was to speak to the people the mind of God As it says in Deuteronomy 18 18 and we'll put my words in his mouth and he will tell them everything I command him Or Amos 3 7 surely the Lord God does nothing unless he reveals his secret to the servants his servants the prophets So when it says the word of the Lord came it's another way of saying Jonah was a prophet God's word came to him so that he might speak forth the message of God to the people that he intended God intended to communicate to and so God intended to use him to preach God's message and As a prophet join is under the order orders and he and he ordinarily would have obeyed Immediately because that's what prophets do But he got his orders and when he got his orders Well, he didn't he didn't respond. Well, here are your orders arise go to Nineveh that great city cry out against it for their wickedness Has come up before me So God gives them orders you're to go to Nineveh now Nineveh was located 550 miles to the north and the east of Samaria it was on the Tigris River if Jonah rises up and walks there It's going to take him about a month So it's a month's journey to go from Israel that area of Israel all the way up to the northeast Into this place and he's going to bring a message notice the message you are to preach against the city and When it says you're to preach against the city, this is a message of impending judgment You are to pronounce its doom God is about to destroy for their wickedness Now according to chapter 3 verse 8. It's an evil city filled with violence Again in the book of Nahum in chapter 3 verses 3 and 4 as Nam was describing Nineveh He spoke of it as having charging cavalry flashing swords glittering spears Many casualties piles of dead bodies without number of people stumbling over corpses All because of the wanton lust of a harlot Alluring the mistress of sorceries who enslaved nations by her prostitution and people by her witchcraft they hated Nineveh and God was looking down from heaven if you will and God saw it. It's not that God ignores. It's not that God doesn't see there have been times when when I have said oh Lord It seems as if your eyes are closed to this Don't you see God's eyes are not close to it God's eyes weren't not closed in but God does have patience But what are the things we need to know about God's patience is God's patience has its limits You may be an immensely patient person You may be one of those people that seems unperturbed and unruffled under any circumstances But eventually your your patience gets to its limit You might find this interesting I'm I've grown to become a pretty non-reactive person so my kids my kids Often don't know when something's bothering me They just because I don't tell them I don't act as if it is I am actually if it's really bothering me I take it to the Lord And and that's what I'm doing or if there's a concern of some sort I kind of keep it to myself so they really don't know when something's going on that they should be concerned about so Not that long ago. We had a barbecue during the summer.  I start to drink it It won't go down Because the food is blocking the water so I can't flush my throat so I stand up and I start walking and I'm looking around to see who's gonna save me. I have a son-in-law who's trained To take care of people in emergencies and my son David So my son-in-law looks at me because I'm walking very slowly. I'm not saying anything. I'm not reacting My son-in-law says are you okay?  I'm not I'm not a quick reactor If somebody does something that is really bothersome to me You probably won't even know it for a while until I tell you, you know, that's probably as far as you need to go You need to stop now because you're crossing a line and I do it like that. I don't get all red faced, you know What man? I don't play that, you know Because I learned a long time ago that you need to have reserve right and and God is reserved He's very patient But you may think that you are okay with God and You stay in sin and and and you think he must be okay. He hasn't done anything about it yet When the Lord is just Showing his patience to us the Lord is not slow in keeping his promise as some understand slowness He is patient with you not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance So what gives us the impression that he's all right with us is really God's long suffering with us and He was suffering long with Nineveh But it had reached the top It's time It's over It's time to deal with it and he's sending a prophet and he says you tell them Destruction is coming Destruction is coming so Jonah verse 3 arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord He went down to Joppa found a ship going to Tarshish So he paid the fare went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord Jonah I want you to go to Tarshish.  You didn't ask me to go He was motivated by his hatred for Assyria and his misplaced nationalism Now the thing is Jonah is not afraid of the difficulty of preaching to them But he was afraid and you'll see this when we get to the end in chapter 4. You'll see this. It's very clear there He wasn't afraid of the difficulty listen preaching can be difficult Especially when you're preaching to a group of people like these Ninevites these Assyrians who are bloodthirsty monstrous savages But that is not what he was concerned about what he was concerned about is that they would listen to the message and get saved That's what he was concerned about You're asking me to go preach to Isis Contemporary they need to burn Jonah Jonah I Don't want to go there. So what's he do it goes in the opposite direction. It's kind of like this. It's It's that attitude only people I love can be saved my mom had a Silly sense of humor if you knew her you would know that People say David you got your humor from your mom In some ways.   You don't receive the Lord here Go to hell and but the fact is that's a literal place And so it's really like only those people I love can get saved the rest I don't really need with me forget about it Somebody said this because Jonah was sorry that God was so kind He would rather not preach. Yes would rather die Than that the grace of God, which was to be the peculiar privilege of the people of Israel Should be communicated to the Gentiles also who had neither the word of God nor the laws of Moses Nor the worship of God nor prophets nor anything else But rather strove against God and his word and his people he didn't want To go and give this message to these people. So what did he do? It says he he fled from the presence of the Lord the word presence speaks really of faith literally it represents Jonah's relationship with God when he's fleeing from the presence it represents his relationship with God and That would include his relationship with God as a prophet When it speaks of presence Genesis chapter 3 verse 8 says it like this They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord Among the trees of the gardens. So he was hiding from his relationship with God and forsaking his position as a prophet he was renouncing his calling he was saying I'm Literally I'm making a choice if you will to backslide. I'm out of here. I'm not going you want me to go to the east I'm going to the west now He goes to Joppa. It says he went down to Joppa Joppa is the sea sea Seaport we go we've been there many times It's it's 35 miles or so from where he had been and he boards a ship and he goes off to Tarshish Which would have been around a 2,500 mile journey by ship Tarshish is modern is modern Spain So he's going to the southern tip of modern Spain is where he's fleeing to Well Verse 4 the Lord sent out a great wind on the sea It was a mighty tempest on the sea so that the ship was about to be broken up The mariners were afraid every man cried out to his God through the cargo That was in the ship into the sea to lighten the load But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship had lain down and was fast asleep So the captain came to him and said to him What do you mean sleeper arise call on your God perhaps your God will consider us so that we may not perish They said to one another come let us cast lots that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us They cast lots lot fell on Jonah They said to him, please tell us for what causes this trouble upon us. What is your occupation? And where do you come from?  I'm a Hebrew. I fear the Lord doesn't appear that way at the moment. Does it I? Fear the Lord the God of heaven who made the sea and the dry land Here you go. Here's something practical. It's not that easy to run from God It's not that easy to run from God There are people in this room who understand exactly what I mean because you've tried to Well, I'll just get away. I just leave.  I'm only in the church I'm nowhere else They run from God. God has given them a call and has said this is what you're to do and They say it doesn't fit my agenda. It doesn't fit my preference. It doesn't fit my life it doesn't fit in With what I want to do and what you're telling me to do is Something I will not do so instead of doing what you're telling me to do I'm going to do what I want to do Anybody in here running from God right now There are some who are Every time you have a group as large as this there are people running from God. There's no doubt There's no doubt. That's just a law of average. It's not like I'm a prophet. They'll say to the Lord off to my right I feel a No, it's just a law of averages Anytime people grab gather together. There are some people who say that's me Because God spoke to your heart. God told you what to do. He told you you know it. You know it You do this Some people jump from church to church to church running from God Running from God they stay there until they're convicted When they get convicted they run to another church So people say are you still going well? I was going there, but you know they so I'm going over here So they have the appearance of really walking with God because they go to church But in reality, they're just running from place to place because when the Holy Spirit has his laser beam and he puts it on them through conviction Man they're jumping trying to get out of the way kind of like the matrix, you know My dad only spanked me a couple times in my whole life Part of the reason why is because he didn't want to kill me and the other reason was because He would laugh When he tried to spank me because as a little boy, I would jump All over the place when he would grab me by the hand and say it's time to get your spanking I would jump and I would dodge and I would move and I would try to run and He'd start laughing. He always said yeah, and he'd say just don't do it again, and I I Learned how to dodge my father's punishment, but I've never been able to dodge God's chastening Because you can't run from him You know the psalmist asked the question. It's found in Psalm 139 verses 7 through 12. Where can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you're there if I make my bed in the depths you are there If I rise on the wings of the dawn if I settle on the far side of the sea even there your hand will guide me Your right hand will hold me fast If I say surely the darkness will hide me the light becomes night around me Even the darkness will not be dark to you the night will shine like the day for darkness is as light To you you can't run from God Best thing to do is give up Best thing to do is trust him and do what he says And so what happens he decides he's going to go to Spain going to the coast and he's going to just body serve Well, the Lord sent this great wind on the sea There was a mighty tempest on the sea so that the ship was about to be broken up the sailors the mariners were afraid Every man cries out to his god through the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the load Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship had lain down and was fast to sleep And so he's trying to hide in his rebellion. He's completely dull to the things of the Lord So the sailors on the other hand are lightening the ship's load because they want to save every person on board But Jonah, where is he? Well, the bible just told us he was asleep Now some suppose that he had gone to sleep before the storm actually hit and wasn't aware of it But others believe that he was simply settled in his decision and wasn't concerned He had what would be called a careless self-assuredness Because he had become callous. He was hard as a rock against the conviction of the spirit But he failed to realize something he failed to realize that God could reach him wherever he was Included on a boat going off to Spain But in his rebellion he had become completely dull to the Lord. That's what happens by the way and we know this When we are in sin You become callous Callous to the things of God You at one time had a tender heart. You at one time had had a spirit that responded quickly The Lord would whisper and you would hear him. You wanted to serve God Something happened And you got disappointed in one form or another And you got hardened and it started out Not as hard as it ended up But it does slowly dull to the point of insensitivity Whereas at one time when people would speak to you about the Lord you would say oh, I know him And then eventually what happens is I just don't talk about him anymore Jonah became insensitive hardened and there he is in the boat. He's completely dull But what happens according to verse 6 is a pagan sea captain has to call this prophet to prayer And he says perhaps the true god, that's the literal translation Perhaps the true god will consider will assist us and perhaps he will be kind to us So while men are in danger God's man Is asleep Today there is a whole nation called the united states That is asleep guys and it's in danger The nation's in danger We're in danger slowly but surely There is a Concerted effort. No not a conspiracy. I'm not a conspiracy person who believes in conspiracies I'm just not human wrangling and Human effort can't achieve that end People can unite against the Lord and the Bible says that God simply laughs.  I don't think so well Is a stronger opponent than the political system And the wave that we are experiencing right now of anti christ sentiment That is not generated by simple human will That is a satanic attack That is the enemy of our souls We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers There is an orchestrated effort To remove every vestige of god and faith In this nation And it's going on right now, but the church is like that proverbial frog in the kettle of water And all of us know this that you can take a frog and you can put him in water And he'll sit there and you can turn on a flame a burner very very low And because the frog doesn't have the capacity to notice degree changes He can't He can't notice he will boil the death And the church has been called a frog in the kettle Because We and this sounds condemnatory. I'm not condemning anybody. I'm speaking I'm just speaking about it, right? So please don't think oh, you're picking on me. I'm not But maybe the holy spirit's telling you something What we do Is we do watch a philosophy of antichrist hatred That is in it's it's in various forms You name all the cults and it's in them It's antichrist from the benign type cult that says oh, we do worship Jesus We just call ourselves by this name Mormon or Jehovah's Witness or Christian science to the Anti god atheist movement and everything in between You see the thing is guys keep this in mind. This is an important point. Keep this in mind People say oh, there's so many religions in the world. That's not true. There are two There are two gods and satans That's it satans has a variety of forms via Islam Buddhism You name it Everyone denying who christ is That's satanic and when we as a nation have Have even prayer in in school board meetings attacked Wake up Because the attack is here It's in our colleges every college student here knows that Every college student here who hasn't gone to a christian college knows that Because you have I've had professors Who had actually opened the class? I remember one on my social psychology class The professor said and Cal Poly Pomona How many of you Are christians born again evangelical christians how many in this class are Three or four of our hands went up This is the first day of class I feel sorry for you Because you trust in that little black book To tell you how life is And that was my opening From this professor who's getting paid by tax dollars To undermine the faith of the only thing that can keep This nation From being destroyed, which is christian faith It's christian faith Right now. Did you know that in england they're kicking out missionaries? Christian missionaries are being kicked out of england many calvary chapel pastors who have been there doing missions work in england Are being kicked out right now Well islam is taken over the one thing That can change and save that safeguard that nation Is being kicked out of that nation the faith of christ That's what's going on right now. Do you think that came through parliament? Do you think that the men in parliament and women in parliament just decided we don't need jesus christ That's the tenet That spirit is not a full lord, of course, and it's not simply a human spirit Now that may sound ridiculous to you But it's true That's what's going on That's what's going on and there is a battle going on right now That is huge And christians We need thank god you're here. We need to be in the word of god Do you have friends that are that should be here? Not because oh, I need a crowd. No Do you have friends who need to be here? invite them They need the word of god churches shut down on sunday super bowl sunday because men don't show up Because they're watching the game That's what's happening here and That's a major problem In Ephesians 5 13 and 14 it says this everything exposed by the light becomes visible For it is light that makes everything visible This is why it is said wake up. Oh sleeper Rise from the dead and christ will shine on you Wake up Well in verse seven they said to one another come let us cast lots that we may know For whose cause this trouble has come upon us and cast lots and the lot fell on jona Now casting lots was an ancient way of determining an answer to a question in this case God used it It's kind of like throwing dice or something like that It's just it's the casting of the lot in this in this case. God used this to show them About jona now they believed that this storm was a direct response to sin by an angry god They thought that they were being punished because someone else's sin And that's why they brought this up and so when they cast the lot and somehow The way that they did it it was the disclose that it was jona. And so what do they do verse eight? They said to him Please tell us for whose cause is this trouble upon us? What's your occupation and where do you come from? What is your country? What people are you? They wanted him to openly confess his guilt for whatever it is that he'd done Um, perhaps his occupation was the kind that would cause gods to be angry They wanted to know his city his nation his people that would help them to understand how to bring sentence upon him It's interesting in verse nine how he says i'm a hebrew. I fear the lord the god of heaven who made the sea in the dry land Now that wasn't evident at that moment that he feared god I I have been in that position where Though I was a believer in god my life wasn't showing it I've been in that position. Have you where I I just wasn't letting the light shine and and When I said i'm a believer in christ you could almost hear the gasp of your kidding me you Because my life was not showing it And so the fact is he says this is what I am and there are times that your life doesn't evidence what you really are But he's saying it I I fear god And he says this is the god this god that I worship is the god who controls the sea He's the god who controls everything. Uh, he's the god of the sea as well as the dry land He's not a what would be called a regional or a tribal god during that day. They had tribal gods So their tribe their people had their god. He's saying no my god is the god of the entire earth So their question why have you done this verse 10 the men were exceedingly afraid. Why have you done this? And the men knew that he fled from the presence of the lord because he had told them they said to him What shall we do to you that the sea may come for us? The sea is growing more tempestuous. He said pick me up. Throw me into the sea The sea will become calm for you. I know that this great tempest is because of me In other words kill me because I don't want to go to ninobah Nevertheless the men rode hard to bring the ship to land but they could not Sea continued to grow more tempestuous against him Therefore they cried out to the lord and said we pray. Oh lord, please do not let us perish for this man's life Do not charge us with innocent blood for you. Oh lord have done as it pleased you So they picked up Jonah And threw him into the sea, you know, I can almost hear it one two three Then you hear him say marco No And the sea Seized from its raging Then the men feared the lord exceedingly offered a sacrifice to the lord made vows Now the lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah And Jonah was in the valley of the fish three days and three nights So a couple of things will close and we'll pick it up next time When they're asking you versus 10 and 11 why have you done this in reality? They're saying if you worship a god as great as this and why Why have you fled from him? You know what that is that's conviction from the world. Hey the god that you worship If he's true if you know, I'm not believer myself though. I do have religion But what I've heard the christians talk about the god that they worship He sounds like a pretty awesome god So if your god is everything I've heard him to be Why have you rejected him? It's a good question. That's called conviction from the world You see they saw that his sin was affecting not just him. It was affecting them because that's what happens You see they were in danger because of him So we need to remember of this listen sin will always affect more than just you It always does Somebody says well, I'm just not in love with my wife anymore. I'm out of here. Every everything will be okay. No your sin If there's sin involved in that And just casually saying I'm up and gone It doesn't just affect you it affects everybody Sin always does It affects everybody you never sin in a vacuum You see and so when they're saying what's going on here Jonas says listen There's the answer just pick me up throw me into the sea it'll become calm Jonah obviously becomes sorry for them, but he's not sorry enough to go to Nineveh At the same time according to verses 13 through 15, they don't want to take a human life, especially the life of a prophet They don't want to be responsible for his death It's interesting that their care for him contrasts with his lack of care for them So they intensify their efforts. They try to to save themselves But eventually they have to let them go and when that happens verse 16 says the sea ceases And the result is the men fear the lord exceedingly You see god had done what their gods could not do He answered prayer still the storm Because false gods never can outperform god because they could never answer a prayer and they never can still a storm But verse 17 and obviously we'll close here. It says the lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah so We'll get the picture Jonah goes down into the boat Jonah goes out to sea He's traveling in sea There's a great fish somewhere over here And all of this is going on While this great fish is slowly but surely Just making his way Towards Jonah picture that in your mind for a moment Just a god had prepared this fish And in a sense, I don't know what he did fish go. I don't know all I know is that fish on his way And there goes Jonah overboard Thank you Takes him in God anybody here ever gets swallowed by a fish that god had prepared for you you have been you just don't know it You just don't know it trying to run from god and god prepares circumstances That you will intersect with and he'll say gotcha I got you That's the truth I have you Now what are you gonna do You can't do anything We'll see what happens, but it's interesting as god breaks him God allows him to To go through this he becomes a songwriter And he begins Actually, there's a song found in chapter two that we'll see And what happens while he's in that fish for three days and three nights Is he repents Three days and three nights it would take me three seconds I'm sorry Can you imagine how obstinate He is think about it. How long would it take you? Inside of this fish. How long would it take you? It would take me no time The minute I saw those lips open I'd say sorry But he stayed three days We'll look at that when we get back to this passage the next time to think about it. Don't be obstinate
