So if all of that is not enough to pack into this short 60 minutes of me just doing nothing but talking and showing and demonstrating, I don't know how else to make it better. Maybe let me know in the chat. OK, so without further ado, I'm just going to go ahead and get started. Let me give a little bit of acknowledgments to what's going on in the chats today. So let me just say a little bit of the hello's. So first of all, hello to Adi. I see you. I've been seeing you for the last several lives. Thank you for doing the live like always. And as you see, I remember you. So thank you for joining the lives like always. And let's just do some hello's before we go ahead and get started. We already have a classroom full of people here, 30 people, so we can get started. Thank you for what you are doing. Thank you for being a part of it. OK, so we've got hello from Turkey. Hello to Zup Pazum. Hello to Edward. Hello to Sajad. Thank you for putting in so much work for us. Keep doing. We definitely will. Remember that our success is mutual, and that's the reason why we're doing all of this. When I help you guys succeed, if I help you guys make money, then it's also the other way around. I want you guys to, first of all, make money with your businesses. I want you to make more money than the money that you're making now. Or hello to Rohi Ishak from Pakistan. So I want to help you guys make more money than you're making today. And when I do that, I hope that you'll also see the benefits of adding automation so that you can make even more than what I helped you make. Until then, you will also join AutoDS, and that is the win-win situation. I am a firm believer of AutoDS being a customer of the system myself, the technology. When I joined it about five, six years ago, I realized that it was way ahead of its time, and it still is to this very day, and that is why I'm doing these episodes. Glad, good to see you're doing well. Yes, I am doing well. Thank you, by the way. OK, I see some questions, so I'm going to get to the questions soon. Good morning to Tremaine. And yes, you remember us. That's pretty cool. Thank you. Of course, I remember. OK, get those likes up. So Tremaine knows what's up. So what's going to happen here is I'm going to reveal the winning products to you guys. And when this live reaches 150 likes, I'm going to give you guys the sheet, the cheat sheet that I will be sharing with you in this live episode. I'm going to drop it in the description, in the video description below, so that you all will have access to all of the links that I'm going to be sharing with you in this live episode. All right, so hello from London. And hello to Francis. And hello to Freddie Carrillo. Hi, everyone. Hey, Leigh Ron. Hello, Freddie. OK, I'm going to go ahead and get started. So once again, we've got winning products. We've got the live chat where I'm going to talk with you guys, and I'm going to announce a lucky mentorship point at the end of the live, as we've been doing as per our tradition. OK, let's go ahead and get started. So I'm going to give you guys the inside scoop. Those of you who haven't been joining the previous lives or those who are simply, yeah, I mean, I've only been revealing this information in the live episode. So if you guys have been, if you guys ever wanted to sell Print On Demand, this is a new feature that's going to come out really soon. And nobody knows about this except for the ones who joined the live sessions, which is you guys. So this is a new feature that we're going to be rolling out soon in Autodesk. And I'm really proud to be a part of all this, because not only am I implementing this in my business, not only is Print On Demand super trendy. It's so fun to sell there because you're completely making these products your own. You're not just drop shipping products that only people are drop shipping. You can actually customize these products for your buyers. And I think that that's just a great, great addition to add to your business. So soon, you guys will all be able to sell Print On Demand products, customize them, and do everything within the Autodesk system. Everything 100% automated. So I think that's just great. And I can't wait for that to come out. One more quick thing, guys. There might, I still live in a place that's considered in a war zone. So if in these 60 minutes, there is a siren, we're all going to have to run to Fortified Shelter, which is this little studio that I have in my home. So if that happens, everybody, my whole family, is going to run into this little room right here. So I'm not going to stop the live. So if that happens, I guess you guys will get to be a part of the action and see it. But excuse me if that does happen. That being said, let's go ahead and get started, because I've been talking for eight minutes. And I still haven't gotten to the winning products. OK, I'm going to share my screen. I live in Israel. Zub, Pazum, you're from Turkey, you said, right? OK, let's go ahead and get started. I'm going to share my screen. These are the winning products I'm going to share with you guys today. Let's go ahead and get started. So what is hiding behind winning product number one? Drum roll, please. This is a spoon scale. This is a kitchen item. And in this item, I added three competitors, because I want you guys to learn, those of you who didn't understand this concept yet, is that when many of you start dropshipping, you think, how can I sell a product that nobody else is selling? And I've been saying for years, you do not need to sell products that nobody else is selling. It's going to be so hard to find these products. And sooner or later, other dropshippers are going to find out about it. So what's going to be the, I mean, what are you going to do here? How are you going to make yourselves? So the good, what I'm trying to show you here, what I'm trying to get through, is that there is no such thing as product saturation in dropshipping. Yes, some products are a little bit harder to sell once everybody else is selling them. But that does not mean that you cannot sell it and make yourselves a profit. Heck, you can even be on top of everybody else. But in order for that to happen, you simply need to have a better marketing angle to your buyers. And by saying marketing, better marketing angle doesn't mean you need to be cheaper than everyone else and make 10 cents profit. Okay, I've always said that profitability needs to be two to three times the source price. However, your marketing angle needs to be better than your competitors. That means that your video needs to be better. Your hook, the first few seconds of the video needs to capture the audience's attention. You need to show the audience what problem this product helps you solve. You need to show them what is the wow factor about this product. And on top of everything else, you need to make a better offer than your competitors. And making a better offer once again, but before I open up the links, I wanna get this through to you guys. Making a better offer to your buyers does not mean being cheaper. You need to make your profit when you're dropshipping. You need to have a return on your investment. However, what you can do by making a better offer is thinking of ways to make the customer want to purchase it from you. For example, giving them a free gift with their product. So if the product, for example, costs you $20 and for the customer it costs $50 or $60, within that $20, you're gonna add a few more dollars and add in an extra gift to that customer.  He's not only gonna get the product, he's also gonna get some cool accessory that goes along with it. One accessory depends on the type of product that you're selling. If you need help with that, let me know in the chat. But that's just one way to make it better than your competitors. Another is to simply have a better looking website, a more professional product page, and simply a website that looks like a big company, a big brand because that's what you are trying to get to. And let's get back to the products. I talk so much. Let's go ahead. So here is the weighing spoon scale product for the kitchen. Let me know if you guys have ever seen this product before because I'm trying to show you all products that no matter how long you guys have been dropshipping for, I'm trying to show you trending products that you still haven't come across. All right, let's go ahead and take a look at the three ad copies that are making a killing for this kitchen spoon scale. Here's the first one. Let's go ahead and take a look. It's a project. So it's an eight second TikTok video. And pretty much jump straight to the action. Let me just turn on the volume. As you can see, pretty much jump straight to the action. It shows you the product, shows you that it's a scale and it's a digital scale. Okay, so pretty cool. It showed you exactly what the product is and what it does in eight seconds. That is what TikTok is all about. You want it to be short, precise, and to the point. And this post right here, as you can see, got 53 million views, 3,695 comments. So as you see, people are really resonating with this product. They really like it. That is the first ad copy. Okay, and here is the website for the person who's selling this product. Okay, so he's selling this digital spoon scale for $30. But that's just one of the people that's selling these products. What about the competition? So let me show you the second and the third ad copy. So from two other competitors selling the same product. Okay, here's the next one. So this is a Facebook. This one is 11. So here's my input on this one. It shows the product, it shows what it does, right? This one is 11 seconds. The TikTok was eight seconds. Let's say no big difference for those extra three seconds. However, the TikTok video shows you straight into the point. Here's the product. I click on this button to tear the weight to 0.00. I put whatever I want on it and here is how much it weighs. That's it. This one shows you it with a few different food products and it's just kind of moving around different food products. So it can kind of sometimes get confusing as to wait, what exactly am I looking at here? Are they trying to show me a recipe for something? Or what are they trying to show me? So this could kind of confuse the buyers a little bit and they'll really need to click on the call to action to get your website to see exactly what it is that you're trying to sell to them. Of course, you can read the ad copy which is a little bit long in this case. It shouldn't be this long. And this one got 2,000 likes, almost 1,100 likes, 215 comments and 148 shares. So as you see, this one is, it's still a good ad copy. It's still getting a lot of clicks to his website. He's still making sales from this copy but it's not as good as what we saw in the TikTok video. Right, straight to the point. The music was a little bit more trendy in the background.  Just show one product, it shows the weight and that is it. Okay, straight and to the point. Here is the other competitor. So this one calls himself, he used the same video. This one calls himself HT wholesale bizarre. And he has a different ad copy, just a whole bunch of texts. Not enough emojis, not enough splitting in between the texts. The ad copy is really not engaging here. And this is where I would strongly advise to use chat GPT to formulate a better ad copy for your product. It's really easy. Let me know if you guys want the prompt. It's free. So if it's free and it does a much professional job, there's no reason to have bad ad copies that look like this. The video here is the same. And this one only got 546 likes, 39 comments, 15 shares. I mean, still he's making clicks, he's making sales, but not nearly as much as this guy here on TikTok. So I just showed you three different competitors that have successful ad copies all for the same product to show you that there is no such thing as product saturation. It's just how you market the product, your marketing angle, that is what's gonna make the difference. Not the product, but how you market it to your audience. Okay, so keep all that in mind. So let's go back to the first seller. We saw his ad copy. We saw that he's selling it for $29.99, not including shipping. I see that he is giving free shipping. So, okay, it is including shipping. So $29.99. Okay, sometimes you'll have to add to cart to a fake checkout to see what the actual shipping price is, but because he's writing here in the announcement bar that he's giving free shipping, I'm gonna take his word for it. So $29.99, the one who made two million TikTok views on his ad copy, or was it more? Here is his website. Let's go ahead and open it up. Sorry, the source. We saw that he's selling it for $30. Let's see how much he's buying it for. So here's the product on AliExpress, the same weighing spoon scale, and he's purchasing it for $4.38. So he's not just marking it up by two or three times the price. He's marking it up by over nine times the source price. That is absolutely crazy, and he's making about $25 in profit for every time he sells the product. Is he selling the product? Let's go ahead and see how we can kind of find out how many sales this guy is making. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna open up a similar web extension, and this helps me kind of get an understanding of how many times the seller is making sales for this product. So what I like to do here is see his monthly visits as we can see here on the right side. And we can see that he is making about 5,000, he's bringing in about 5,500 visits per month. Okay, so we know that the industry average is 2.5% sales conversion rate. That means in simpler terms that 2.5% of the amount of people that enter our websites will continue to check out with the product. Okay, so if I take 2.5% from 5,500 monthly views, let's see how much we're gonna get to. So I'm just gonna take out a calculator and the other screen, 5,500 minus 2.5% brings us to about 140 sales per month. 140 sales per month making about 25, it's about $24 because they're selling channel fees and so forth. So let's say he's making 24 clean profit per order. We're looking at a profit of $3,360 for this digital spoon because he did such a fine job with an eight second TikTok video that shows this product, what it does, quick to the action, trendy song in the background and that made the work happen for this guy here. Okay, so what do you guys think about the first product? Have you guys ever seen this product? Even I wanna buy that now. Yeah, I agree. Many times when I'm doing my product research and I'm finding these winning products, I end up purchasing some of these products for myself or my wife sees it and she's like, hey, what is that I want that? These products are really special and that's why they're making a lot of sales. So I'm not just showing you the everyday, I don't know, neck massagers or the products that you've seen for years now. I can do that. I can still show you people who are selling it today. I can show you their ad copies. I can show you how many sales they're making but you guys are here for the good stuff. You guys are here for the juice and that is exactly what I'm trying to bring to you. Okay, so we've got about 40 people here. Let's continue with the winning products. Let me just address this question really quick. But isn't this the theory of monthly visits applicable for all the products on the website and not just for the digital spoon? It is, Rashi, and that is a good point. However, when someone is bringing traffic to his website most of these sellers are trying one product at a time. So they're not running ads on all of their products. They're not running ads on 10 different products at once. Most sellers are running one ad for one product and they're usually doing that for a while. They're not just doing it for a couple of days. So it's for at least a month. So I can, with confidence, say that the traffic that we saw, most of it, at least 90% of it is coming from that ad copy. Okay, let's move over to winning product number two. Okay, I see that some of you have seen this product before. Okay, okay, that's good. I can't make it all 100% that nobody has seen it. Winning product number two is an electric spin scrubber. This is another kitchen tool. Let's go ahead and check this out. Let me open up the ad copy that's making a killing on this one, the seller's website and the supplier slash source. All right, let me share this tab and let's go ahead and see another seven second video that got seven million plays. Almost 600,000 likes, 4,000 comments, 93,000 saves and 24,000 shares. Crazy for what a seven second video can do. Let's go ahead and take a look.  Okay, I wanna ask you guys a question. Do you guys notice a difference between the TikTok ads in terms of the background music? Do you guys notice any difference between the TikTok ads to the Facebook ads in terms of the background music? I wanna know what you guys input on this is and then I'll let you guys know what I think. So here's the seller's website for that electric spin scrubber that got over 17 million plays, or was it more than that, on TikTok. So he's selling it for $34. And this one he says is with free shipping. So again, we're gonna take that word for it and understand that they're selling this electric spin scrubber for $35. One thing that this seller's doing well is he's got a whole bunch of variations for this product. And each variation tells you exactly what you're gonna get under that variation. So this is one of the great things that he's doing here. And there is no way to do this without automation because if one of these variations go out of stock on your supplier's website and you have like 15, 20 different variations for one product, it's gonna be hard for you to know that that one actually went out of stock and then your customers will buy it and really profitable seasons like what we're going through now, which is Q4 and Christmas and New Year's. We're experiencing more sales in our store. Anybody who's been dropshipping you can all vouch for that right now in the chat. Sales are going up during Q4. I'm talking about stores that are working, not stores that are still in the beginning. And without automation, without price and stock monitoring, there is no way for you to be able to sell all these variations and never sell things that are out of stock. So that's one thing that he's doing well. And as I scroll down, one thing that's not really good here is that there's just a one and then there's nothing. There's like a space between each number. So I wouldn't do it that way. It's not very professional. I don't see any big websites doing it like that. Then we've got customer testimonials with images, which is nice. We can skip on the customer testimonials that don't have images. They don't have the same effect. So take that into consideration with your store. And you may also like some other products. As you can see, these are all drop-shipped products. So this is a drop-shipping website. It's really easy to see all of that. Okay, so he's selling it for $34. And we saw the TikTok ad, which again, and we saw the TikTok ad copy, which had over 17 million views, 600,000 likes. Again, super viral, super trendy video. Let's go ahead and take a look at his website. Sorry, at the source. So here is the source. I'm running a little bit of a cold guy. So bear with me. So here's the source and he's buying it. Again, crazy for actually, I don't want this variation. I want these ones that we can actually see what we're getting. So let's compare apples with apples. This one is a six-headed green one. So here is a six-headed green variation. So $16.89. Let's round that up to 17 just to make it easier. So $17 and he's selling it for $34 with free shipping. So he's selling it for just two times the source price. It's not really enough. I mean, you should be around 2.5 to three times the source price, especially in the beginning. After that, you can go four times, five times, and even nine and 10 times like we saw in the previous example. However, he's just selling it for two times the price, which isn't really that much. But let's go ahead and try to understand exactly how much sales he is making. Let's see if I can get that info. That's not opening right now. I'm sharing the wrong tab. Okay, you know what? Let's move over to the next product. I think we've seen this one already. I've seen the scrubber, but for bathtubs, not for washing dishes. I like it. This has a lot of sponges. Yes, it does. Okay. I see more things in the chat that I didn't get to. I'll get to all of you guys soon, of course. Let me just share my screen again and we'll continue with the winning products. Let's just share screen and we're gonna go with the Chrome tab and we're going with this Chrome tab and we're sharing the audio so that you guys can all see the ad copies. Once again, guys, 150 likes for this video and I'm going to give you guys this cheat sheet with all of the products, with all of the links. Get this video, 250 likes and I'm gonna drop the link to this one in the description below. All right, winning product number three is a handheld desktop vacuum cleaner. I have seen variations of this one before, but check out this one specifically. One sec. We're gonna share this tab now. All right, so this ad copy, about 19,000 likes on TikTok, 1,000 shares. Let's go ahead and take a look. Again, an eight second video on TikTok. We got a trendy music in the background. By the way, I see that some of you answered the question of what is the difference between, oh, I wasn't sharing my screen. Sorry about that, guys. Let's show you the ad copy again. Okay, and this is the answer to my question. TikTok ads for a younger audience, right? But do you notice that the background music on the TikTok ads are different, right? They're more hyped up. They're more fresh. They're more trendy, whereas Facebook ads is just like this calm elevator kind of music. So that's what you need on TikTok. You need really short videos showing exactly what the product does and what the product looks like. Showing exactly what the product does. And of course, have music in the background that's fresh, that's trendy, that the young audience likes to listen to today, mainly pop music, hip hop, and so forth. So here is the seller's website. And he's selling these table vacuum cleaners. He even used this as his main image, which really isn't that good at all. Like I wouldn't recommend that at all. You shouldn't have so much text on your main image. You can have it as a secondary or third image or whatever, but having this as your main image really doesn't look that good at all. And everything here is just screaming at you. So many different colors, different fonts, different sizes, and the spacing isn't good, and everything here is kind of yelling spam at you. So I don't like that. And he didn't even work on spacing. He didn't work on good sentences. He didn't use on any AI tools to help him really optimize his product descriptions. He didn't do a good job here at all. Where he did do a good job, though, is in the ad copy that got over 3 million views. But this website is really not doing justice for the seller. But because he had a good ad copy, let's see how much traffic is bringing to his website. So this one here is bringing 13,700 monthly visits. So he's selling it for $25 and free shipping on orders over 99. This is not over 99, so there's no free shipping here. He's selling this one for at least $30, including shipping. Let's see how much he's buying it for. Hello, by the way. Hello to everyone I haven't said hello to. Hello to Berna. Okay, let me just change the language here. I don't know why it switched languages. AliExpress is really annoying when it comes to that. English, please. And it changed again to euros. I don't even have euros. Annoying, right, guys? It never saves your settings. Okay, so this vacuum cleaner, $10. And he's selling it for $30. So that is three times the price, right? So he's making about $20 in profit. Let's take down the selling channel phase. Let's say 17. You know, let's even say $16 in profit per order. He's not making any less than that, believe me. So let's see exactly how much he's making. Okay, so 16 profit, $16 in profit. And he's bringing in how much traffic? 13,700, with Turkey being his number one country. Okay, let's see how much money this guy's making. So 13,700 monthly visits, minus 2.5% sales conversion rate, is 343 sales per month. Let's round that down to 340, times $17 profit per order. So we're looking at $5,780 clean profit every month from this product with a spammy looking product page that really isn't well. I mean, even these trust badges here are too big and it's even getting blurry. Like I can see the pixels and it's just not well. It's just not well. But when you have a good product, sorry, a good product with a good ad copy, you're gonna make it even if your product page looks spammy. Okay, work on that later on the product page on the homepage. Just make sure that everything is in their place. Everything is in the right spot and market your product. You sell your product on TikTok. TikTok is a great place to start advertising your products even with free, with the free organic method. You guys do not need to spend right away on ads. You can order the product to your house, okay? These products are not expensive. We're looking at a $10 product here. So instead of putting $10 on ads per day, first order the product to your home with those $10. Shoot some videos. And once you upload 20, 50, 100 videos to TikTok, some of those videos are gonna go viral. And those viral videos, you can put your budget on them and let them start making their yourselves for you because you already tested through them which ad copies are working well and which ones have the highest chance to really blow up once you put some money onto it. And this way you do not need to spend money on ads before you even know which ad copy is gonna work. Okay, winning product number four, let's go ahead and see what we've got here. Hello everyone. Hello, Shan Shan, Shalom. Hello, Jason. Hello, dad. Hello from USA. Okay. Let's go ahead and move to winning product number four, Galaxy Light Sky Projector. Now, this is a product that there's with so many different variations out there which can sometimes make it seem like it's a, you've seen it around, you've seen it so many times and it feels kind of saturated at some point. However, because there are new variations of these Galaxy projectors coming out all the time, it really makes it, it gives you a much higher chance of making more sales and profits with these products because it just keeps getting better and better. And if the other drop shippers are still selling the old models, you can start selling the newer ones. And I just want you to see how much this type of product has upgraded at least since I've last seen it in the drops being seen. Here's the ad copy or the TikTok post. This one is 20 seconds long. Again, we've got the fresh trendy music in the background. We saw how it works. And one of the things we love about it is simply the quality of the stars that you're getting here. I mean, this has really upgraded since the first time I have seen Galaxy Light projectors. And notice how all of these successful TikTok videos, they're all short, relatively short, right? 20 seconds is as long as we've seen so far, but they're all showing how to make the product work, what it does, and that's it. So you're either gonna get the wow factor or you're gonna understand exactly what problem this product helps you solve. And as you can see, this one right here got about 52,000 engagements. I just gave it another one by accident. So that's the product. Let's go ahead and see how well it's selling. Okay, so this one here is selling for $157. You heard me right, $157. So you've seen projectors before. And you might have thought at some point that these are just not that profitable anymore. Let me show you how much profit this crazy seller is making right here with this Galaxy Light Sky projector. Again, selling it for $157 with a viral video copy on TikTok. Let's go ahead and take a look at his website. I'm gonna open it up. Sorry, the source. I keep confusing it. Let's share the tab, AliExpress. And again, it's not in the right language. AliExpress, you're so annoying. You're making my live Q and A's take longer because you never remember my settings. And now it's back to Euro instead of USD. You're so annoying. You keep doing it without anyone asking you to do it. So again, $157. I don't even care if he's charging for shipping. He's probably not with such a high price tag. Guys, the same Galaxy projector right here on AliExpress, $11, sorry. No, that wasn't the right one. Let's see if it's this one or this one. He's selling, I think, this variation. Let's go ahead and take a look. This is the Hot Cell Milky Way, just the Milky Way. Let's see if we have that variation here. This one is Milky Way. This is with six disks, four disks. Sorry, I'm just looking for the right variation. Like with six disks. I think it's this one, but I'm not sure. Just give me another minute. Could be this one here. Let's see. Requires some research to find it. No, it's not this one. Okay, I might have to do a little bit more research to find the right one here. Let me just do something really quick. And if I don't find it, we're just gonna go ahead and calculate that one. I'm not sharing my tag anymore. This is getting annoying. Let me just share the whole screen. It'll make it easier. We won't have audio, but I won't have to keep turning that one on. AliExpress keeps changing mine to Portuguese. Isn't that annoying though? By the way, AliExpress isn't the supplier that you guys need to be working with, right? There's just one that can help you with your product research, but you guys can use much better suppliers today. You can source them better through AutoDS. You can optimize all of your texts, all of your products, titles and descriptions through AutoDS with the AI Rewrite tool. There's a lot of things that you can do there. There we go. We finally found it right here. This is the variation that we were looking for. And this one costs $22.65. $22.65, $157. That is the difference between them. Actually, it's not exactly the same one. It's not exactly the same one. All right, I wanna move over to the next one. I don't think I gathered enough info on that one. And maybe I moved a little bit too quickly, but I'm gonna make that up with you guys with better products. Okay, winning product number five, four-piece reusable silicone lid set. So this is a product that I have seen around. However, this is a different product. And it's newer. And I'm going to share with audio so that you guys can also hear the ad copy. So one sec. Sorry for all the technical stuff. There we go. All right, let's go ahead and take a look. So there's ones that 66,000 views, 9,600 shares, 1,500 saves, 19 seconds long. Let's see. Amazon kitchen gadgets you need. These are called food huggers. They're silicone covers for your fruits and veggies to keep them fresh after you've cut them open. Let's say you're cooking and you only need half an onion. You simply find a cover that fits, press down, and it's sealed. This set includes five different sizes so you can use it for all different types of fruits and veggies. They also work as covers for open cans and jars. They're reusable, dishwasher safe, and don't take up a lot of space. Amazon kitchen gadgets you need. Now in the chat, who saw this product before? I wanna know right now in the chat if anybody saw this product before. Okay, so this one, I'm gonna open up the seller's website and the supplier. Okay, here's the seller's website. And this one has a cleaner look. And this is the type of website that you guys should be looking out for, for, you know, making something similar in terms of the field. Nothing here is spammy. Nothing here is yelling at me. Everything is clean, the colors. And it's just a breeze to scroll through and to read about the product. What you can do better is the review importer.  However, it's not really done all that well. I mean, there is no text.  And this is just not very convincing that people are really enjoying this product. Okay, so that is one thing that I would definitely do better. And he's making a lot of sales. So he's got this quantity discount. So the more you buy, the more you save. Estimated delivery, free worldwide shipping. So all of that is nice. Nice little add to cart here even though it could be hidden between all of this info here. So you wanna be careful with that. Reasons to buy from us.  So those are some things that he's doing well. And yeah, everything here just seems pretty clean and pretty nice, except for the things that I did talk about, including the review importer app. Review importer apps are free. You guys can just download them from the Shopify app store. If you guys are dropped, should be done Shopify. And again, all 50 of you who are here, stay because in about 15 minutes, I'm going to announce one point that's going to get 30 days of free mentorship from us. And sorry for not smiling so much. Again, I'm running a cold and I'm like on my fourth or fifth day. So it should be like around the end, but you guys know what it's like. So $2.44 and another $1.39 for shipping. So this is about less than $4 and he's selling it for 19. So he's marking up the price by about times four, almost times five in the source price. And that is exactly what you want to do if you want to have a good return on your investment, on your ad spends or simply make some good profits on your orders and actually be able to withdraw some funds to your bank account and enjoy the profits. Okay, so that is winning product number five. And I want to share some more with you guys. Let's see if we'll have some time. For now, what I'm going to do is again, guys, if we get this to 150 likes, I'm going to of course share everything. I'm going to share this whole file with you guys and get this live to 150 likes. Only if you guys appreciate the value of course, and I'll share it in a link below this video. And of course, if we don't make it during this live, which I usually don't, I will update it as soon as this video reaches 150 likes. And that's just about it for the winning products. I'm still going to share my screen, but first I'm going to answer some of you guys' questions in the chat. And if we have more time for winning products, I'm going to share with you guys some bonus winning products. By the way, there is a bonus winning product inside this cheat sheet that I did not share. I will once this video reaches 150 likes, I'll open it up and I'll share the doc file with all of you. Okay, so I'm going to move over to the next screen and read all your guys' questions and start answering them. I can, I see that I even look kind of sick. Okay, so Rashi, you came in with a bunch of questions right from the start. Let's go ahead and read yours. My question is I want to start my e-commerce brand and home decor for which I need to understand answers to questions like, which country to target for my niche? Who will be my target audience? What will my competition look like? What products to choose according amongst to the pool of lax of products? Wait, lots of questions. Let me continue for now and let me see if I can round up your answer. Same question. Okay, you just kind of copied and pasted that. Okay, so you want to sell on home decor, Rashi? You want to know what country to target. So if you guys remember the first product that I showed you, the first winning product that I showed you in this live session, there were three different competitors. Two of them were, I think from the Philippines, I couldn't really understand what language that was. And the first one was from the US.  So if you're selling it to your target audience, you're probably going to have an upper advantage there because you can also speak their language. And whatever other audience you should be targeting really depends on what audience type will resonate needs these products. So you're talking about home decor, it's a very broad, broad niche and people all over the world buy home decor products. So here I would go with the top four or top five countries to target and you'll start to narrow down on your winners once you'll start to see where the sales are coming from. So the top countries to target today, if you're not sure where to target is US, UK, Canada, Australia, I'm missing one. I can't remember right now at this moment, but I'll get back to that. But those are the top four if you want to go for the top four. And I think that that's more than enough because you've got tens of millions of audiences to reach out to there with your product. And that's going to require some work. So it also depends on what are your marketing methods? And let's see what other questions you asked. Who will be my target audience there? I just answered that. What my competition look like? It depends on what products you're selling inside home decor. You can't just say, oh, I want to sell home decor. So who's my competition? What products do you want to sell on home decor? Do you want to sell, I don't know, chandeliers or that's actually furniture. Do you want to sell wall art? Because then you can also sell on Etsy. It really, really depends. Really, really depends. And I couldn't really understand your last question. All right, let's continue. Here's all the good mornings and the hellos and the hellos. I already said hellos to all these hellos. Let's continue. Will Autodesk be introducing a page builder with AI like page pilot and page flight? Sajak, that's a great, great question. So I don't know of any page builder tools that we're working on now. We are working on a couple of the things that I can't mention at the moment, but I did mention print on the mat. So you're going to enjoy that soon. All right, let's continue. Don't go anywhere.  Thanks for the info. As always, I would like to see, I would like to ask does Autodesk work good in Australia in terms of auto fulfillment and sending tracking information to customers and support is good from Autodesk. So first of all, thank you, Amar. We don't support order automation from Australia, but we do support it with, if you're from Australia, it doesn't matter. You can drop it from anywhere around the world.  So if I answered your question correctly, you cannot automatically fulfill orders to Australia unless you're using your buyer accounts. If you're using fulfilled by Autodesk, it's mainly just for US suppliers. So hopefully I answered your question there. I'm a seller from eBay just started in October. Sells are slow. I guess I'm not selling the right thing. Yes, Trish. And I would also like to tell you, Trish, to go ahead and check out this video. Let me just share my screen. We just posted this one the other day, just yesterday. Let me just see that if it's on. And if you go to our YouTube channel, is this this video? No, this is the previous video. So there was a video that was posted yesterday and it's called How to Start Drop, should be on eBay. And I shared everything, all of my, yeah, I even shared my story. You can see here. Let me see if I'm sharing my screen. Yeah. So you can see my story here.  I'm not like, I don't know, whatever I've been doing this for years now. I share my strategies there. Everything, this video is one hour and 47 minutes long. Not a lot of YouTubers today post two hour long videos, simply because many of them simply don't want to. They don't want to share so much information. They only want to like keep it limited and have a whole bunch of things that they're trying to do on the side without not adding in all the important information and all of that. But here, everything is set out for you. Whether it's what products to sell, how to set your business policies, how to sell on eBay, how to list your products, how to raise your limits, how to work around all kinds of issues that may come around. Two hours of pure knowledge just to help you start your eBay to actually business the right way. I know how difficult it is, especially in the beginning. Also, of course, promotions and everything I shared it all from my store. I have a few of them but I shared some of them in this video and you can simply gather all the info that you need in that video. I guarantee that you're gonna learn a lot from that video. Okay, so go ahead and check that out. But mainly, if you still want me to enter that and summarize an answer, you have to start slow on eBay. You're usually getting started with just 10 items and $100 or $500 in listing and in sales so they don't give you much to start with and you'll need to raise your limits as much as possible before you start dropshipping from retailers because once you do that, they may flag your account. Your account will still be active, you'll still be able to sell but you will notice less traffic coming from your store as they're going to give the advantage to other people who are not dropshipping from retailers in terms of their search engine and it'll also be difficult for you to raise your limits because they will cap that. So before you start that, make sure that you're either working with private dropshipping suppliers which you can also find within AutoDS. I mean, if you want more information about that, it's inside our marketplace or you can just sell products that you have around your house, locally sell products, call eBay on the phone, let them know that you need to raise your limits because you have so many more things that you need to sell and once they upgrade your limits a few times and you have several thousand items that you can list, that's a perfect time to start dropshipping. Okay, so hopefully I answered your question there. Okay, let's move over to the next questions. I'm new work on Trent UK, nice to meet you. Can you do one for women's fashion? Okay, let me know guys, if there's anybody else who wants to learn about what women's fashion products to sell and of course I can do a whole live session just around that, hello to all 55 of you. I finished going over some winning products, we'll see if I have time for any more left ones and done with your questions. In any case, they're where you are because in less than 10 minutes I'm going to announce one lucky leadership winner and let's see who that is going to be. Okay, so for women's fashion, we do have a content on women's lingerie and beauty products. If you guys are not familiar, just go to our YouTube channel at youtube.com slash autoDS or head over to autoDS.com slash blog. We've got all of the articles there. So if you want to read, go to the blog. If you want to watch, go to the YouTube channel. And here, for example, am I sharing? Yeah, so here, for example, you can search for lingerie in our blog and then you've got this article right here, the 15 best products and suppliers for drop screen lingerie. You can search for the word beauty. Okay, and then you've got the top beauty products, the 25 hottest beauty drop screen products and that should get you started on your way. Let me know if you guys want a session based only on women's products. If everybody's interested in it, I will do it or most people have a UK based account. I was running to add, but also, but still couldn't receive sell on my drop screen. You mean you're running ads on UK Rocky? If you don't mind, because it's a very broad question because I don't know what products you're selling, what niche you're on. If you don't mind selling, if you guys want to get a store review, you can just drop the URL to your store in the chat. Because YouTube doesn't really allow external links, you can just leave a space before the dot com or after the WWW just so that YouTube will let you write it in the chat. And then I'm gonna open up your website and I'll let you know what you're not doing well, whether it's the product, whether it's how it looks, whether it's how you're marketing it. So if you don't mind, that'll help me give you a much better answer, not just a random one. I already answered this one. I'm really sorry you're going through that. Apologies at all to you and your family almost. Thank you, Adi. You're really nice for saying that I appreciate it. But it looks like we're good. It didn't happen in this life. Hello, Mawish. Yes. We answered this one. This was a great question, Raji. All right, next question. Sending you to you love from Pakistan. Thank you, Abdullah. Well received back at you. Adi Ran, I'm from India. I need marketing for my store, but here TikTok is banned, even though I use TikTok with VPN. When I tried to put my store link in bio, it asked for business license. Okay, so here's what I want to say about that. So yes, you can use VPNs. You need to use a burner phone. You need to use a burner SIM card and add a VPN to that SIM card. And that should get TikTok to work. If you cannot put your link in bio until you have 1,000 followers, unless TikTok recently changed that, that's what you need in order to be able to post a link in bio. However, you can still post the link, just put a space or play around between the www and the.com by spaces and other things to make the viewer understand how to reach your website without having to click on it. Hopefully I answered you there because it's a very large subject. Most of the time import from Autodesk face eBay policy violation. I check many times reading eBay help center but the same error, we're moving all issues but same any solution. Yes, I am reach out to the support team and see why the product are not importing. I'm importing from eBay every day. No issue there. Make sure that your seller account is active. Make sure that you have business policies and that you can list on eBay. We answered this one. Hello to all 60 of you. I did finish going to the winning products but in a few minutes I'm going to announce one lucky mentorship winner. Stay where you are. And I'm going to share the winning products spreadsheet with all of you once this video reaches 150 likes. Okay, I already saw this one and answered it. And then drop-shipping give me some tips. Hello, Harshad, a very broad question. You guys need to narrow it down a little bit more but basically drop-shipping you entered a business model that has a low risk and a high return but there is a learning curve. You're not the only drop-shipper out there but it is now definitely still the best time to join and to start a drop-shipping business. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. There are more online shoppers that are joining online shopping every year. We're increasing their average order value, their online cards and there's always going to be a need for more sellers, for more drop-shippers to be able to market more products to their target audiences. It really depends on where you want to sell. You can sell on eBay, Shopify, Facebook, Wix, WooCommerce, Etsy. It depends on do you want to bring organic traffic to your website? Do you want to run marketing? Do you want to keep the customer's email addresses meaning you can sell on Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix? Or do you want to sell in market places that can give you free organic traffic like Etsy, eBay, Amazon but you won't be able to keep their email addresses meaning you won't be able to send them email address, email campaigns. I can go on and on and it's just such a broad question that the answer, I can talk for weeks about it. Hello from USA. Okay, we answered these and all of these hello to that. I've seen that. Other express keep changing way to Portuguese and that. What is the best time the best days to run Facebook ads? A great question from Tremaine. So a good time to run your ads depends not on you, not on the product, but on your target audience. Okay, so if you're targeting this, you want to be able to sell to market to them at a time where they're more comfortable in front of their computers or in front of their mobile phones because most of them are going to come from the mobile phone. So when is your target audience most active on their mobile phones and not just active but ready to purchase? Because if they see your ad copy while they're at work and they don't have the time to click on the website and enter their credit card information because they're in the middle of a business meeting or a call or they're in the bathroom or anything like that, they're probably not going to go through with the purchase. So you need to find what is the best time, let's say you're targeting the US audience, what is the best time that Americans or anyone living in the US, what is the best time that they'll actually be open to see the ad copy and click on the website and purchase the product. It's most likely not going to be during the regular daytime unless it's the weekend, but on weekend they're mostly busy. So look for the evening times, not too late. In the evening times where they usually finish with work or they're finished picking up their kids from school and now it's just nothing between what's happening after work until they go to sleep. That's usually around the time, but not too close to when they go to sleep because then they're tired or mostly go to sleep early or some that will go to sleep early, you'll miss them. So try to find that sweet spot. How do you know what the sweet spot is by simply doing A, B testing. So you need to try out different times throughout the day and see which one is working the best. Okay, and the ad copy should be the same when you're testing different times because you wanna make sure that the difference is the time and not the hook or the video that was different from one copy to the other. Can we insert website link in TikTok account without license ID? I already answered that one. When's the giveaway in just a few minutes? More than just money. By the way, more than just money, the then should have been an A instead of an E. More than, not more than. What are the best places to buy ads? I found someone new and their ads are phenomenal but they're expensive, might be better than below. What exactly do you mean by places to buy ads to remain? So if you're running ads, then you can run them on TikTok or on Facebook. These are the top two performers that we have today. Most dropchippers are running either on Facebook or on TikTok and as you've seen in this live too, the ads are usually between Facebook and TikTok because that's usually what's working best for dropchippers today. So let me know if that's what you meant. If I can find a product on AutoDS and I wanna use the other link via AutoDS, that's to be okay. Like we still have the same long shipping time. So here is something about shipping times. Guys, in a few minutes, I'm going to announce one lucky mentorship winner.  Let me enter the party card really quick. So if you find a product on AutoDS and you wanna use the AliExpress link through AutoDS, is that still okay? Like we still have the same long shipping times. So what are you gonna do about long shipping times? Let's see if I've got AutoDS open here. No, so let's open it. Okay, so I think your question was from here, right? You're using the marketplace. You chose a supplier, AliExpress. By the way, those of you who are new here, you can use AutoDS suppliers. We've got private suppliers who can send out your products with a quick two to five days shipping time to the US and also brand your product with your logo, even if you're sending out one order at a time. So I'm not gonna get into that now because there's no more time but let's just answer your question. So you're using AliExpress, like I say from here, you imported a product from AliExpress only you don't want it to ship within 11 to 20 business days or 10 to 20 business days. You wanna get quicker than that. You wanna get five to 10 business days or up to that, no more than that. So in order to do that, you can simply use the sourcing function. You see that you can make a sourcing request right here in the system and this will simply allow you to take a product that you have, I'm not sure if I opened it, to take a product that you have and make a sourcing request for that product. What that means is you're telling the system, hey, I've got this product right here, I sold it or I'm gonna sell it. And I want you to find, I stopped sharing my screen and I want you to find a better source. I want you to find a faster supplier for the same product that I'm selling right here. And what the system will do is it'll take about one to two days max, but we're gonna bring it down to one to find a better supplier for your product, faster shipping time in a cheaper price. So you're also gonna profit more and you're going to be able to ship faster to your target audience. So that's gonna enter your question regarding the long shipping times. So try out the sourcing option in AutoDS. When AutoDS introduces AI product, we already answered that one. All right, let's round up the questions. In India, it's totally different types of areas. If I'm taking video for US target, it's totally different from them. So how can the video in their language or can I take others video and edit it? You can take a video from your supplier and edit it, but I don't really understand the issue here. Here's totally different types of areas. If I'm taking a video for the US audience, it's different from them. So how can my make a video in their language? You need to make your own video then. You can either send it to a video service provider that can record videos for your product. So you need to send them the product. Like for example, you've got, what's their name? Waving Pandas, that's one service provider that can do that for you. But then you're gonna have to, of course, pay them for their service or you can order them to your house, record the video with your US VPN on your phone or with your TikTok account and publish to the US audience. And it's an organic video and they're gonna see the product and you're gonna have it in English because you used the TikTok editor or CapCut even better to do the editing for that video. How about Germany? You mean the automatic orders? Automatic orders using your buyer accounts, you can do it in pretty much anywhere, but for fulfilled by AutoDS, New Zealand, nice to meet you. For fulfilled by AutoDS, it's mainly for the US suppliers. Fulfilled by AutoDS, for those who don't know, is using AutoDS as buyer accounts to fulfill your order. So you don't need to have your own buyer accounts and you don't have to worry like about account suspensions and all of that because it's not your buyer accounts. I have an electronics niche store. The store is new, I'm targeting USA. Let me know how many products of electronics should I add to my store? So Abdullah, it's a good question, but this question, the answer is not like, okay, so if you had a hundred products, then you're gonna become super successful. It's what electronic products are you selling and which target audience are you targeting and what is the marketing angle that you are offering to them? That is the question that you should be asking and not how many products to add to your store. Your store can become super successful with just five products, one main products and the others that are simply complimenting the main product either by upselling or processing techniques or 50 products, 100 products are being automated, of course, so you won't lose your price in the stock, monitoring and automatic orders, but you can have 100 products on your store and most likely not all 100 are gonna sell, but you will be able to test and see what products people are resonating with, what they're adding to their cards, what they're purchasing and then start to narrow down on those winners and put more of an effort marketing that to a larger target audience. Okay, so it's all about testing. The question is not how many products to add to my store. Unless you're selling on marketplaces like eBay or Etsy or Amazon where the more you'll add, the more sales you'll make, of course, product research is the number one factor here, but the more products you add, the more sales you make because it's all coming in organically and you don't have to put in much efforts. You'll just have a good title, have a good product page, description and images and the sales are gonna come in automatically because people are entering Amazon, people are entering eBay, people are entering Etsy with an intent to purchase and they're gonna get to you by your titles. Okay, so it really depends. My area of concern is the fulfillment section. Don't understand the point system much. Could you please explain that? Not exactly what you mean by the point system. Let me know what you mean by point system. Yeah, let me know. I don't really understand that question. Guys, I kind of need to wrap it up. I wanna announce the one lucky mentorship winner. So let me get to that. Can we connect Etsy with Shopify? Yes. So you can connect your Etsy store with Shopify if that's what you meant. So you're selling on Etsy and you wanna use Shopify as your supplier and you can also do it the other way around. You can sell on Shopify and use Etsy as your supplier. All of that can be automated with AutoDS which is what makes it so great. It's really an all in one platform for automation. I re-answered this one. Hey brother, I hope you're doing well and thanks for the info. Can you please make a video about payment gateways like Stripe and LLC company setup? Thank you. So yeah, Dress, I do have a new Shopify video on AutoDS's YouTube channel and I did go over the payment gateways there. However, I did not show step by step on how to add the payment gateway because there are so many different payment gateways out there and I want the video to be very specific. But what you can do is you need to simply reach out to one of those payment providers. Let me show you guys a quick example even though we're out of time. So just open up Shopify's payment gateways. It depends of course on where you're from, right? So it doesn't matter where your audience are from, it matters where you are from. So here for example, you're gonna say, hold on, let's click on more. But this is not from the target location. One sec. Yeah, type in your country. Okay, so let's say you're from France, okay? Okay, and you wanna know I'm selling on France doesn't matter where you're selling to doesn't matter who you're, your location is France and you wanna sell, you wanna use Shopify's payment gateways. So here you can just write where you're from and you can see the whole list of Shopify payment gateways that you can use. So here for example, you've got this company called BitPay for example. So what you can do is open up Google, search for BitPay, see who they are, see how they're trustworthy even though all of Shopify's payment gateway should be trustworthy. And then you simply reach out to them. Okay, so you can call them, you can reach out to them by their customer support and be like, hello BitPay, I'd like to integrate you to my Shopify store. What are the steps that I need in order to do that? Go over their fees, see how much you take for transaction fees, see how long it takes for them to send you your payouts once the customers pay using their payment system. And they'll show you how to integrate that into your Shopify store. They'll show you how to do it. So all of these payment providers, they all have their own codes and their own way to integrate inside your Shopify store, which is why you need to reach out to them. And I can't just do a video on all of them, even though you asked on specific ones like Stripe and LLC, which mainly just work if you live in the US. If you don't live in the US, it's gonna be difficult to use Stripe. So hopefully I answered you there. How I target to my electronics niche audience on Facebook and TikTok, just give me an example. How to target my electronics niche audience on Facebook and TikTok.  So if it's paid ads, you need to find out the audience interests that you want to target. So for example, you wanna sell electronics, what electronics do you wanna sell? Because it matters, right? If you can't just say I wanna sell electronics niche, so I need to find one target audience for it. Are you selling a men's grooming kit, or which is mainly men for target audience or women who are in a relationship, right? With men so that they can buy it as a gift for them.  Or are you buying a pet's electronic toy? It really depends because that way you'll know exactly what type of audience and what type of audience interests you need to target. If you're not running ads and you just wanna make organic videos, then simply open up TikTok, open up Facebook, shoot some viral ads even though some viral videos, even though it's gonna work on TikTok. It's gonna work on TikTok shorts, YouTube shorts, and also Instagram reels. So if any of you guys are marketing organically on TikTok, make sure that you're also uploading those videos to YouTube shorts and Instagram reels because they all have their short videos and the video could go viral on one of those platforms. Some from your video that you have two orders on your store. Yeah, I don't remember how many, I remember that even while I'm recording I'm getting sales and I'm showing it to you. How does a mentorship work? Yeah guys, let me get to the mentorship. Do you need to have a registered business in your own country where you're operating from to start an e-commerce brand in another country you are selling in. You need to have a registered business in your own country. The country that you're selling to, for example, if you live in India, you need to open up a business in India. If you wanna know how to do that, you need to contact a local accountant in India and let them know because you're gonna have to pay your government income tax and whatever else. And if you're selling to the US, you're also gonna have to pay US sales tax to the US government. If you're selling on marketplaces like eBay and Etsy they're gonna do that for you. But if you're selling for example on Shopify, you're gonna have to collect it yourself and pay the US government at the end. So it really depends. What is your Instagram? So it's autoDS tools on Instagram. Let me send it to you, autoDS tools in Instagram. Here's our Instagram. Guys, I wanna announce a lucky mentorship winner. Let me do that. I can see that we already replied with the Instagram. Okay. Thank you to our social media manager who's watching the lives and answering questions to women's products sell like candy. Yes, they do. Can we get the eBay cheats here? No, Paul, but you need to watch the video. You need to learn and request it after you finish watching the video. Otherwise it's not gonna do you much justice. You can't just jump straight to the shortcuts. You need to learn the long way and then summarize through the cheat sheet with all of the resources and tools. All right. Thank you for learning my story after the live ends. No, do it in the next live so that I can actually go over it during the live. Can we get the eBay and Amazon cheat sheet and what is your IG name? So I already gave it. If you want the cheat sheets, go to the videos, watch the videos and request the cheat sheets at the end. I'm just wondering how to market the best way. What's the important parts? That's a little bit general right now. We need to have a registered business. We already ran. Okay. We already talked about that. I'm looking for a good place to buy ads. We like bands off ads, viral comments and launch ads. Okay. Got it. So you don't want to create your own ads. You want other companies to make the ads for you. I know that bands off ads did a lot of marketing. They've been targeting me like crazy. So that's probably worth checking out. I don't have any experience with them because I usually run my own ads. However, what I do recommend for you to do is open up TrustPilot and write these companies' names and see which ones have the best reviews. And I would definitely go for that one. Viral e-com ads. Yeah, they're also very well known. I'm not sure if you can go wrong with those big companies. Not big companies, but big service providers. Amazon has an established comprehensive set of rules for drop shipping sellers which can be challenging to meet. Yeah, but what check out our Amazon drop shipping video. Alex, it's a very, very good video that shows you step by step how to do it in a way that it'll be good and your store will go on and on and on and you shouldn't run into any problems. Just showing everything from what I'm doing. So, I mean, it's all from experience. Is all of this available in Pakistan? Yeah, it's available anywhere and everywhere around the world. I live in Canada, but my sister wants to start from Pakistan. You can wish. You can start from Pakistan. Yes, thanks, thanks. Okay, so I can start mentorship. That's it. Can I add design products to AutoDS? And then you're not drop shipping, right? Cause you're, you mean print on demand cause we're going to support that soon. Okay. All right, I'm going to announce a lucky mentorship winner. That's enough. Thank you to all of you, by the way.  And even if you're not the winner, stay where you are because I want you all to be eligible to enter the next competition for all of you who didn't win this specific one. Okay. I'm not, sorry. We're out of time. We're out of time. Let's go ahead and share my screen. Okay, so going to announce the lucky mentorship winner and why do that by going to the previous live and taking one random comment from that one. And then in the next slide, I'm going to take one random comment from this one, but not the random comments that you guys are leaving in the live chat.

Okay, and we went with hashtag winning products. Going to click on confirm. So we've got all of these comments who commented hashtag winning products. By the way, if the winner didn't add his favorite product or his top take away, sorry, like this one, just winning product, it's not good enough. I asked for hashtag winning products and your favorite winning product or top takeaway from that live session. Let's go ahead and see who the lucky winner is. Five, four, three, two, one. And the lucky winner is, you're not because you only wrote winning products. And like I said, that's not going to be good enough so you want to work on that. Okay, this is not good enough. I need to replace you with someone who actually wrote what is their favorite product or what is their top takeaway? Two more seconds of work, ZP Diver, and you would have gotten 30 days of free mentorship. Let's round that up again. Didn't add top takeaway.

What I try to do at the end of this is take all the different points of view, side conversations, and find some synthesis and major themes that have gone on, why we've discussed this. And I'll talk a little bit so I don't forget addressing Joey's provocation after Joyce's question, which is around kind of mapping what's going on. And it's something that we've really looked at and tried to figure out, is it a Salesforce solution, whatever. But we recently did conversations with all of our active grantees and many of our active prototypes, our first class of prototype grants. And we're asking them, what kinds of things can I do better? What do you need from us? But we heard over and over again that this type of thing, this type of convening, is vitally important to it. And we found that people were reticent to talk to each other if they hadn't physically met before. So once you find that, there's something here that's very special that we're very focused on. I'm saying how do we be very strategic about these convenings are? How do we do signal to noise right? When you have someone, when you meet someone, how the best thing to do is think about how you can follow them, how you can even touch with them. But we know that the physical connection for that is really important. And after that, it becomes easier to do that. Mapping the entire universe of what's going on is difficult. But I think if we get better at thinking about this through convening, and what I heard from everyone that I talked to, was that that was really important. So just a little bit of an answer to that and why this is so important are these ideas that we have. So this is one of the things that came out for me on this, is a lot of this stuff that we're talking about, there's a real disconnect. And it's something that you may have heard and something I said, which is to say that a lot of the conversation about the open web only occurs on Sandhill Road in K Street. And usually oppositionally. So how do we move this?  So I think one of the things to talk about that's a continuing conversation that came up increasingly in our thoughts during this conference was, why isn't this something that's more important to everyone? And we addressed it a little bit and I'll go through some of those. So first of all, being open might not be enough. It might not be enough to pat ourselves on the back and say, wow, we're doing all this open stuff and it's a great, and it is great. But increasingly, what we find and what is I think a conversation here is when you produce these things that are beneficial and positive for our culture, country, world, you're really at a brand warfare moment with the rest of content on the planet. So what used to be where if you're developing a truth-telling app, that's a brand, you have to think of it as a brand, really. Because what you're going up against is the walking dead in Game of Thrones. You're not going up against another truth-teller app. You're not going against another media site. It's the flow of information so high. How do we make these things? How do they get attention paid to them? So opening your being open is key. It's vital as a cornerstone. But I think what we heard is how do we extend that? How do we push that? How do we make sure that once it's open and that it is open, how do we build community around that? Really important. This came up a lot. And what I mean by think water not plumbing is we tend to talk about the pipes. We tend to talk about the infrastructure. The fight for us is often around making sure that these things are. And even the metaphors that we use tend to be around fast lane, slow lane, you know, these kind of systems idea. And really what we heard over and over again is the thing that turns people is content, right? When something I get eliminated from something, when I can't see something, when I want to do it, that's when I realize there's constrictions on what we're doing. So we have to think shift the conversation to being a lot more about water and what type of water we have and why that water is important or perhaps beer. But not necessarily what the plumbing is for it. And that's going to be really important as we move forward in this tension around making these types of issues much more open. This, I think, came up a lot. I don't think we know who we have some idea of who are important in these spaces and have been, but I think we have to make sure that we're finding new heroes and celebrate them, large and small, technical, non-technical. This morning around, we saw a lot of people like that with the examples in Turkey, people taking opportunities to work in very heroic ways around journalism, openness, fairness, those types of things, finding them, celebrating them, moving them to the forefront, I think is going to be really vital. So a recurrent thing that's happened in this conference is the need to remember the human. We just had a great example of that with human-centered design, a brief overview of that in this last couple of hours. But there's a sense that there's all this machinery going on. And I think it was, especially with the city and the sensor moment, where you're losing the sense of what the human is and making sure the human is centered into this. So as we talk about these issues, it's easy to forget that there's people behind it. And that the notion that there's something behind there and that the technology is overriding what it is about humans that humans are using that technology and that's what they're about is, I think, really important to keep in mind. And so that they're not ghosts, they're actually humans. So there's actually something there. And we need to pay attention to all the time we need to be building for. We need to think about. We need to interact with. And it's not the tech or software itself. I was really struck by this. And again, this notion of how do we make all these principles more democratic. The notion of a grandmother in Turkey changing their DNS is a great, and when we think about that, it's like, how can we make those types of skill sets ubiquitous? How do we enable people to understand the internet in that way? And thinking about that that's so vital to do and it's so important in their lives that they will figure out or look up or find someone else to help them do that. And we need a lot more, I think, again, on this notion of democratizing a lot of these issues across. So it's not just specialists. It's not just people in this room that care about it, but actually people everywhere. What came up a lot, I think, weirdly, is that we need more policy people. We don't have a lot of policy people actually even here. And these are issues that we need to start interfacing with that just as a lot of what Knight has done and what we have tried to do with the MIT conference is an interface technologists and developers with journalism, with information, and what those things are. And I think what we're increasingly running up against is the need to do that in governing bodies. We find we do a lot of open government work or a little bit we try to do open government work. Over and over again, it's the things that you heard throughout the conference that it's a leadership at the top that defines the time and space that allows those changes to occur. And we need a lot more people in those. So there's new heroes that we have. We had to find them, I think, in the wonks. So another aspect of what we have is how do we layer those people into government with these issues that we care about? How do we interface with those? How do we give them tools to do it? It's amazing when we start getting into open government, people will say, I don't know if it's legal for me to give you this spreadsheet. They have no idea. It's not that they don't want to. They just don't have any aspects of it. And Jim Parker tells this great story from Code for America, where she said, I go into a city, and I say, well, why don't we release this database? And they say, well, it's against the law. And she's like, OK, well, show me the law. And then they can't find the law.  And she goes, OK, well, find me the policy, right? And they try to find the policy. And there is no policy. And he's like, well, there's probably a memo. And you go, OK, well, find me the memo, right? And then they get sounded, it's like Doug said, we're not supposed to do it, right? And then Doug hasn't worked there for five years, right? So we need to figure out how to get those people in and really work and help them get the strategies around that. So this is the coin I turned to coin, which is getting at the tensions between what we talked about with the potential of what urban spaces is and what sensors and surveillance and that. So a combination of this very connected, complex thing that is utopia and penopticon at the same time, right? So something in this notion that the sensor networks that we have could build brave new cities that are really exciting at the same time. What does it mean for the individual? What does it mean for surveillance? What does it mean for freedom? And these are things that I think we really have. They are conjoined and weird. And we have to unpack it. And not that I think this is going to enter the dictionary anytime soon. But the notion is how do we think about these things in really smart ways and how do we pay attention to it and not block the things that are going on? So one final meme moment, which is to say this is something that has heard over and over again and not that I want to leave on a pessimistic note, but because I think a lot of the conference has been optimistic around these things. But it's very real. I think all of us sense that at this 25-year turn of the internet anniversary that there's a real potential of losing many of the things that we've worked, a lot of us are whole lives on building. And vigilance is key on this. And I think if we're active in it, we can get through it. But being very aware of the Mark Sermon saying, I think we're losing is scary. So these kind of convenings and having everyone interact is super important. And these are the kinds of things that if we have more of these and we stay in contact and we develop new ideas and we think refreshed and anew, we won't have to worry about this other than making sure that we're vigilant in what's going on. So Ethan did an amazing job of thanking everyone. I would also like to thank you and a big thank you again to Laurie and Ethan and Laird and C125 for coming. Thank you all for coming here. And just a final shout out, I have to say to Megan if she would stand up a bit. And the reason for that is Friday is actually Megan's last day at the Knight Foundation. So she's leaving for a terrific opportunity to have very great nonprofit as a project manager in Miami. But we'll miss her desperately. I know you all will miss her desperately when these things happen. She's just been an amazing person to work with. So just on that note, good luck to Megan. Thanks to all of you. And we'll see you on the internet. Thanks.
