Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview, Everton vs Manchester City. Half-Five Saturday, go to some park, what is sure to be a tough game. The toughest game Frank Llanpard has had, certainly, a home. Yeah, and a very, very difficult game where Everton could do with picking up some points. Couldn't ask for a bigger ask, really could you? It's weird isn't it, this fixie, cos this used to be a game that you just think they'll beat them. We'd always beat Manchester City, even at the start of the successful period, we were still having good results against them. Won a lot of weight at their place and all that, but I've just seen ever one of the last 17 fixes against Manchester City. And it was the four-nil, which is embarrassing isn't it. And we've lost eight consecutive games against them. Only Portsmouth and United have lost ever more consecutively in their history against the one opposition that we have. So, poor. But they are, I mean they're an amazing football team which is the reason why the record is that bad. But other teams have, other teams have bloodied cities now over the years, even poor teams have beat them. You know, you think of, in order to couple of years ago we got relegated to beat City at home and teams like that. We've seen Spairs who've been in awful form last week. Spairs are their bogey team? Well yeah, sort of me, but Spairs haven't been in good form, just lost two home games on the run and went to City in one of the weekends. They're not totally unbeatable, but they're as close to it as teams are in the Premier League. Yeah, it's certainly for us. It is a difficult one this, it's in one thing you're thinking, let's just get it over and done with and get through it and move on to the next game at home and just get on with things. And then another thing, where you think about it was Man City got beat last week, they drew with Southampton. The feeling, the pressure now of Liverpool, can ever capitalise on them feeling a bit of pressure. Do they come to Gullison feeling the pressure just as much as we are? Can we turn that to our advantage? Well of course we can if we play well and everyone does their job and everyone does what they're asked and they may be not on it fully. And snatch it chances or we can get enough men behind the ball to frustrate them. So I think it's like every game, it's how we approach it, it's how we look at it. For us it's a pressurised game, because Franck Llanpard obviously won his first home game against Leeds, but the two Premier League away games have been awful. So that means where the pressure is on us, we're relying on home form.  We've got to play Manchester United at home. You can't just dismiss these games because we haven't got enough of the games. We've got tough games, tough games against Wolves and Newcastle coming up. So we can't just dismiss anything. For me obviously we have to be perfect, but Spares have just shown how to beat them I suppose. We've got to score three times against them, so we've got to just do our side of the thing. Because loads of those games, what I would say is loads of those games against City haven't just rolled over and the belly's tickled. That's the problem.  So it's got to be a little bit more to what we do in this game. In general, we have had a bit of a go, I mean certainly. I can think of the Michael Silver, Michael Silver was in charge, he beat us 2-0. And it was a tight game and we were in terrible form. We got a goal in injury time of both halves. The year later he beat us 3-1 with Michael Silver, but Don missed the great chance of 2-1 to make it 2-2. With Carlo Ancelotti. He had gone the cup last year didn't he? He beat us 3-1 last year in the league and it was 2-1 and we were in the game in a mares. And in the cup it was 0-0 till the 83 minute and my dad 2-1 off the line had me off a set piece. You know, on this score, to make it Gundo van Schors doesn't even know if he put it to bed. So we were in the games without being in. The only thing I would say was the cup game. We had those 2 set pieces but we nearly didn't do anything else. And we were just keeping it tight with the league game. I thought we were the charlots and scored, we were the first goalie to let in for a while. We were in that game and I think that's the big thing is that we've got to make sure that you've just said we're perfect. We've got to do what we did against Leeds, which is Harry put pressure on, just don't let them get shots away. I hope the crowd can influence it because there's going to be long periods when we don't have the ball. They dominate the ball every week. They have 75 plus per cent possession and Saturday will be no different. I imagine. So what we've got to do is make sure we do all the ugly side of the game. You're hoping for evidence to get the results of the weekend. We've got to be perfect and they've got to have a bit of an off day, which happens every now and again. And we've got to be clinical if we get chances. When the chances come our way, if we make chances, we've got to take them.  Yes, they've had a couple of results that are not typical for them. So you have to capitalise while they're on that little bit of a run. There's a little bit of doubt in the mind, just let three goals in. In fact, space score four, you have one dish left by VAR. So they had the ball in the four-time show. You can play on that a little bit and hope that there's a nervousness, a little bit of a nervousness about them. And obviously Liverpool aren't playing at the weekend in the Premier League. So city for them, the pressure is we need to win, keep the gap, you know, whether we're to win. Then Liverpool, I think, could go level with them if they won the two games or whatever it is. So it is tight at the top and it's up to evidence to try to feed into that. But you're absolutely right, we can't just write it off and go well. It's man's city show, we're expected to get beat. Even if we've got a point, any point right now, adding on to your total, is huge. And also I think the other side of that though is that, Evan have got to get themselves into a level of performance, home and away. And if you play Manchester City and you play really well and you get beat, but you keep that level you have against Leeds and then you take it into the next game. You know, board on board and then you go to space and you've got that level. That will eventually turn into more points of course, it will. And then that's the problem so far, is the jackal and hard nature of the four games. Two home games being good, two away games being pretty poor. We've got to get to a level where we're going to every game, know what we're going to get from the players and they understand. And that will come with more coaching and obviously hopefully, I think the manager mentioned it last week, he says, you know, when we conceded the goal, we went back to, they went back to the default setting. He's got to implant the new default setting, which is that never gets left, what they do. And that means consistent performances. So listen, if we go up against City on Saturday and we do well and we have a good goal and it doesn't necessarily go our way. But then again, it's that's the performance we're seeing, like the performance against Leeds, like the performance against Brenford, Spears, Newcastle, Wolves before that. If every game we're seeing that performance, we will start picking up the points and hopefully, you know, the wins. And that's all I'm looking for out of this game.  I just want to see a level of performance. I want to see Godderson like it was against Leeds as well. So we're keeping that going. So Man City players feel our pressure and the Everton fans know that we're behind them. Cos that's what's going to get us out of trouble. Because going from one week to another, it's going having this jackal and hide, you know, good performance, bad performance, good performance. It's not good for us in our mental state. One week you're on the floor and it's very easy to say, don't go too high when you win and don't get too low. But it's, you know, it's nearly... How can you? We're going into a match very soon. We're starting to all feel that little bit of pressure. But for the players, the players have got to get that level. Cos they'll feel like if they take those performances into those other games, they'll start picking up more wins. It's the demands for each other as well though. If you start getting the level of performance, you're looking at each other for that level of performance, where if one week you're all great and the next week you're all terrible, that's not going to get you enough points. So they do have to get it because it needs to be an acceptable level of performance. And then if two or three, you drop below that, you're out of team. That's how it is if 11 if you do it. It's hard for the manager, isn't it? It's hard to get anything going through. It's a huge game. It's a hugely difficult game. And it's but it's a game that they're going to have to battle and fight in Scraff 4 and hopefully they'll come on the other side with. A positive result. But like you said, they've not at least put in a positive display where you've got something to build on them for the next game. But it's a home game. I'm not sure if I'm able to take a point off them in a week. So like you said, we will have to rely on them, maybe having a bit of an off day missing chances or whatever. But just don't give them chances. Make sure we didn't give leads any chance. No, but now it's difficult because they're amazing. We know that. But all you can do is do your job. One by one. Each player win your battle and hope that they snatch your things. You know, you get in front and then the hostility and the crowd can unsettle them a little bit and you can take advantage of it. That's all that happened when we beat them 4-0. You know, I think we had about six shots that day. We beat them 4-0. They had all the ball. They missed chances. The crowd were off for it. And when we got the chances we were ruthless. And we ended up with a great result in that. That's what you have to do sometimes. Heaven haven't done enough of that. So, you know, let's just battle and scrap and see where we end up. Yeah, I mean, we're going to have a little look at Stalen's numbers. We could have picked anyone, to be fair. But Stalen's 22 performances, appearances, 16 starts, 10 goals, one assist, two shots per game.  It's funny the way the city players, it's like they take turns. It's scary.  I think you got a hell of a knowledge then recently and scored a great goal away in Portugal, yes, in the Champions League. And it's just weird, like at the beginning of the season, it was like Bernardo Silver and then someone else and Maras would take over and then Foden. And it's just, it is scary. It is very scary. You could pick anyone. No, Bernardo Silver's performance against Sporting was just unbelievable. So it is, it is very, very hard because you can't really double up on anyone. You can't really, you just have to, if you get chances, you have to take them. That's the difference. You have to take them. Don't take chances as well. No. Don't mess with them. Don't play out from the back. Don't do it. You love it. What you would do when it's salt answering. Don't do it when you've got time to do it. And it doesn't have to be always, but other times, 10 people get them 10 days. Dom's great in here. You know, Cain's got a good edit the other day, but Carl Walker wasn't even interested. He stood there while Cain went above them. Dom's three times as high as Cain's.  Get them 10. When you can play, play.  Let's just have a look at the line-up on the city game as well. From the Spades game. Yes, Spades game, yes. So, obviously, the four, three, three days. But that front three can be, they can just rotate it however they want. You know, you've got silver, the folding in there at times, mares in there, I believe Gabriel Casus is back in training. I could be in the squad, he loves to go against ever. You know, there's too many of them really to be able to go. We need to just mark it at the game or we mark him out the game. Because they've got such a wonderful array of talent in them. What you've seen at this last game, people changed five of them for another five-well class plays, Raheem Staling, you know, like you just said, that's the score again. They really have got so much to track on talent, Jack Greelish. You know, they're all there, and that's why they're the best team in the country. You just, the way to beat the best team in the country is you need everything to go your way on the day, generally. Especially for a team like us. You know, when you need to try fighting it, it's a different thing, but for us, we need everything to go our way. We need to be sleish of luck, maybe get a bad decision for once on our favour. But every player must do their job and do it better than cities. Players on the day. If that happens in the crowd, help anything. Do we change formation? Do we go to more of a three in midfield and start looking at, you know, maybe changing things around a little bit? Yr ac, ac 4-4-2, we'll be destroyed by the end. I think we'll be destroyed by them. They don't play a natural formation anyway, so they pop up all over the gap. So you've got to have people who can run around in there. Obviously Adelaide, the corey looks like he's going to be available. That's huge for us. Alan in Donnie van der Beechde, he'll be my three for the weekend. Obviously van der Beechde will want the ball and likes to take it. But if you've got the corey, you can cut things off, because he has loads of ball recoveries and stuff like that. He gets it on a pitch. And then Adelaide and Damari Greys fit again, it looks like, or got a good chance of being available at the weekend, apparently. So whether he's fit enough to start or whatever, but if he isn't, you know, Anthony Gordon on one side, Adelaide on the other, and Donthru in the middle, you know, a time drop into a five in midfield and make it difficult. Then a fullback, that's the other one. I imagine he'll play Coleman this weekend, but does he keep Kenny in or does he play Michael Engong? We need that balance with the left foot. Just if we do get over the halfway line, someone to put the ball in or whatever. Or does he say, well, Kenny might be a little bit more defensive in the crowd. It did a big decision for him, but without a shadow it's got to be three in midfield for me. Got to be. 4-4-2 won't work against these. It has to be three in midfield. And I think that way you can, like I said, you can make it a five in there and make it nearly difficult for them to pass through you. With 4-4-2, I think they just cut, they just run round us. They just picked up all of them past us because they liked it, especially if Gomez was in the side or whatever, but they don't think he will. So for me, yeah, it's got to be a 4-3-3 and try to just say to the corey, try to break forward if you can and get up and support them and make sure we do have the double pivot left in place with van de Beek and the corey can each swap and say to Alan, you do have to sit and be disciplined and you can't go charging out of the players because they drag you out of position, they just go bum, bum, bum and it's true. And we saw it at the end, he had earlier in the season, you know, under beneath us, it was all right for a little bit. We were, we had a bit of shape at the end of the minute, they cut us out and went one and up, it was good. You know, they just won it out of the canter, didn't they? And even then, we made a couple of the mistakes for the other goals, but they won it out of the canter. Was it hard work, was it really? No, that's it, that's it. That happened far too many times. It's been far too easy for them.  That has to change and I'm sure, I'm sure the players will be up for it and I'm sure the fans will be up for it. And as I said, just try and get a performance that is equal to the Leeds game. Well, if the crowd can be the way they were against Leeds, and that was huge, you know, if the fans, and I think they will, if the crowd can be like that, then at least you get that adrenaline into the players that they know, they have to wait. We know we're better at home than we are away. So, therefore, we have to take advantage of it. And us as fans, that's our only thing we can do. We haven't got the shape and we can't do the extra run on all's we can do is do exactly what we did against Leeds and make noisy and boo them and they've got the ball and support your team. And who knows what comes of it. We'll see what happens. This is like probably, to me, this is the most difficult. Certainly for the home games.  It's always a different one. No motion involved for them, for them anyway. Yeah, there you go. A very difficult game, very difficult game. I mean, there are so incredible facts like Everton of... Sorry, Man City have won each of the last four away games. Like Everton, which was as many as they had in the previous 20 visits, which shows you how much they've turned. Everton have lost 13 of their 23 Premier League games this season, which is as many as they've suffered in the whole of the 2021 season. 12 of those defeats have come in the last 16 games. City are unbeaten in the last 12 Premier League away games. No, beautiful. On the opening day. So they haven't lost since the first game of the season away. So they're doing away defeats. And then they can win every other game, eight-nil, till the end of the season. No side has scored fewer first-half goals in the Premier League than Everton, with eight. Manchester City have scored more first-half goals. More first-half goals, 30. And second-half goals, 33, than Everton have been total. That's good, so their first-half goals are more than our total score. Peps won 24 of his last 25 games against English managers. Thomas has not scored since August. Rheir Marr has not scored and assisted a million goals, apparently this season. Thanks for that, Bas. I feel all warm and fluffy inside now. It's a double bluff to City, because we know Peps will play this to their players. And they'll be like, yeah, we always win. They'll be off in the wheel. There you go. Let's see what happens.

How's it? How's it? Can you make money from photography? Of course the answer is yes, all right, but it's not as cut and dried as you think. And I'm going to share with you some of my experiences of running a portrait studio if you are considering dipping your toe into the world of selling your photography. Unsurprisingly, it is actually quite a lot of fun to do something day in, day out and get paid for it that you really enjoy doing. But there are some pitfalls which you need to know about so that you can avoid them.  So right at the beginning, if you think that successful photographers are successful and they sell a lot of images and they have clients coming through to do all the time because they have fantastic photography, then you will be laboring under a misapprehension. The reason that these people are successful is because they understand what is really important in running a photography business and that is marketing. Now marketing doesn't mean a website with as many pictures as you possibly can think about to put on there. And then a bio thing talking about how you've always had a passion for taking photographs since you were like two years old. And you know, here's a picture of me holding an Argo C3 and I have all of the latest gear and I've got insurance and I've got this and yeah, and I use triple backup SD cards and things. The people who are looking to have a family portrait or an engagement picture or some pictures of their kids, they do not care. They don't care at all what camera you use. Do you care what tools the mechanic uses when he fixes your car? No, right? They care about the result. They care about, are you going to listen to them? Are you going to make them feel comfortable? Are they going to have a good experience with you? And are they going to enjoy the result? Now, yes, of course, your image quality is going to play a role in that, but not as much as the words that you use, not as much as the way that you as a person come across. They are buying you as much as the photos. Now buying, of course, leads us into the world of how much do you price these things? And everybody seems to use an 8x10. How much is an 8x10? How much should I charge for an 8x10? Let's get something straight here. If you want to actually make some money from selling images, you can't be selling CDs of photos. The Gern and Bern, so Gern is a thing for smiling in the UK, so the Gern and Bern of putting images on a DVD or obviously these days on a USB stick is a bone of contention. And I will say, I did offer digital images as part of my packages, but they came at a premium. They are actually, if you want to sell them, one of the top end products, not the bottom end, right?  I can hear there's an intake of, that's a lot of money. Yes, you're going to have to change your opinion or perspective about what people are actually willing to spend.  I wouldn't pay this and of course that is, that's the key to know that you're heading in the right direction.  I overheard something at a convention where somebody said that if you can afford your own product, then you aren't charging enough. And I thought that seems a bit weird, but over time, it actually made a lot of sense. If you want to be taken seriously, if you want people to buy in, as it were, to the idea of you know what you're doing, you need to charge a reasonable amount.  Wow, nobody would buy that or it's just too much. And I used to think the same way. And it stymies me how much money I let walk out of the door because I was selling things for what is actually quite cheap.  Think about framed pieces, about collections of images. Deliver value to your client and they will be happy to pay what it is that you're asking. No matter if you have one client, five clients, a hundred clients, you know, you need to keep track of all of the messages, their contact details, what they've bought, their requests for images. You name it, there's a lot to keep track of. And you should invest in some software. I have used a piece of software called Studio Ninja and I've had a chat with the guys and they've got a discount code for you in the description box below. And if you don't do this, what happens is that you are trying to juggle so many things in your head, you know. And I guarantee you will lose stuff. So having at least a system like Studio Ninja to put all the stuff into will make your life so much easier because you're not going to forget things. Because word of mouth in your business is going to pay you huge dividends. So if you forget somebody's name, if you forget where they're actually, you're going to go and shoot them, right? You know, or any of these, you know, if you order the wrong images, that's a black mark against you. So having something to keep track of all these things and of course, you know, keeping track of the sales and the tax, sorry, that you're going to have to pay on these things is important. It's also going to allow you to schedule your time properly. Now there's a great issue and it was summed up by a post that I read on Facebook a few years ago that made me maybe laugh. And somebody was saying, do you, what are your hours for dealing with clients? And it was kind of like office hours, you know, such and such. And then after one, one was kind of like other, let me know. And in the comment section, the lady responded and said, I am available whenever my clients need me because I go the extra mile. And I thought, okay, that's great. How many other businesses do this? Does your pharmacist allow you to just phone them up any old time and say, come along? You know, it just doesn't happen. You need to think about your photographic business as a business. You have working hours. You have times when you're available and times when you're not.  Okay, that's fine. I'll come and photograph your family instead. You're going to end up being led a merry dance around by all of these people who think that you are just going to go out of your way to please them. This is a very different thing to doing a good job for somebody. So again, we come back to Studio Ninja, section off times and dates that you will work, have a calendar and stick to it. If you have people, if you're shooting out on location, don't say I will photograph anywhere you like within like a 50 mile radius.  And then another person on that same Saturday who says, Oh, in the afternoon, can you come and photograph me at somewhere that is actually like the other side of that radius? Use your time wisely.   And this is to have a shoot map. Now a shoot map is an idea of images or ideas of a number of images that you can work through in a session.  And they are tailored a little bit to fit the specific requests of any family. But they're more or less the same image. You don't need to make completely unique images every single time that you have a session, right? There will be moments where you get a chance photograph, but most people will conform to a set of, you know, rough frameworks with photographs. And when you start doing this and when you're shooting at the same places over and over again, it makes the session go a lot smoother. Because you're not having to worry about the technical bits, you're not having to think up ideas for pictures on the fly. The single best return on investment of my time in my studio was to draw up shoot maps for various types of sessions. Once you start doing this, everything becomes so much easier. Now obviously, there's a huge amount to running a photographic business and portraits studios, especially because you need to source products and you need to find all these sort of things. And that goes a little bit beyond the scope of where we are because, you know, I'm based in the UK and most of you are based in the US. But as a guideline, if you go to places here in the UK like the photography show at the NEC in Birmingham or in the US, I think it's WPPI, somewhere where there will be lots of exhibitors of framing companies of, you know, places where you can buy product. Go and visit these places. Look at what they're offering. Okay. Talk to the people on the stands. Ask them about free samples or discounted samples. Once you build up relationships with companies, they will start offering you discounts. They will start offering you payment on terms. All these things that make your life a little bit easier. Don't underestimate the power of networking. I have a wealth of knowledge, information, all that kind of stuff about running a business and I would love to share it in depth. But unfortunately it goes way beyond the scope of, you know, some YouTube videos. So I'm thinking about putting together a course in, you know, how you can just build a photographic business from the ground up. If you'd like to find out more about this, let me know in the comments below so I can gauge a little bit of interest. Now, obviously running a photographic business is not all loveliness and sunshine and stuff. And eventually, because I didn't take some of my own advice, it got a little bit too much for me. And if you'd like to know why I ended up closing my studio, check this video here. Thank you ever so much for watching and I will see you again soon.


Felly, yn y toffi tfini, mae'r rei ei gweld y gwnaeth ymlaen yma oedd Eivarton i'r Rhathor Am Unajtod 1 yn y Carabao Cup yma, mae hyn yn iawn i ddiweddol, mae'n mynd i'r gwahau mwy o'r gael, mae Eivarton yn ymlaen. Mae'n gwneud hynny yn y cyfnod a'r gael. Ond mae'n gwneud ei wneud yn cael ei gael, mae'n gwneud yn ymlaen fwy chwych yn ymlaen, I myfnodd widef, ac yn gwneud ar y cyfregwch cydaeniedig, rôl iawn, byddwn gynhyrch ymlaen mwy. Rhai, Michael Silver, am bryd yn gweithio, rydyn ni wedi amda i atio, ac nid oes ei fod yn fyw am hynny'n cerddol. Eau wentlynedd wedi cael ei chwarae. Martin Stechlenberg, y golyngol? John Joe Kenny ac i fi'nlaf yn gweithgafi. Zuma, cair, Torma, ffyrr ysdabu. Obviously, we had Lucas Dean in for his full debut. We had Cair yn Daol yn Tom Davies yn y Dominic Halbert Llywyn yn neun ni as. Sandro Rameires, who apparently is on the verge of a move to Spain, but he played as well. So, you know, we really mixed it up and we controlled the game. Tom Davies, obviously the captain, I thought he got better and better as the night went on. As did Zuma, to be fair, I thought Lucas Dean was excellent for us down that left hand side. And yet, you know, we knocked it round well enough, but I just think the first 20 minutes, for me, we should be peppering their goal, getting shots away and making them feel like they're in a game. But it was always, I suppose, in some respects, you can understand a little bit of disjoint of football because it's a team that hasn't really played together. But other than that, you know, I thought we'd done very well. I mean, credit to Rotterham, they came and tried to play. They didn't try to kick us off the park, which we've seen from other clubs. We've seen it last week with Southampton, with Hughes, you know, they're a Premier League side. So fair play to Rotterham. And to be fair to them, they had a couple of good chances themselves. I mean, the one that I had to missed right on our time, you know, was an excellent chance. And they had a couple of chances second half. So they done themselves proud without a shadow, without they give a good account to themselves. I think, from my point of view, players that I think you might have in the night, me, let's be honest about it, you didn't have one of his good nights, you know, and yet you could have had a hat trick. You missed three presentable opportunities for him. You could have had a hat trick. But Guilfee was showed his class of times some tremendous change of feet and clever passing. Like I said, I thought Davis did well as the night went on. I thought Sandro had a good game, put some fabulous deliveries into the box. And it was Sandro Ramirez who set us on our way with a low cross shot and Guilfee cigarettes and sliding in at the park end to give Evan the lead. Guilfee should have probably had a second, not long after it. Again, Sandro from the left this time, cutting in and hitting a great strike. The keeper parries and Guilfee blazes over. He really probably should have done better. We had flashes of great football, but the final ball was missing. You know, like I say, it was, you know, it could have been better, but I've seen much worse, don't worry about that. We got him one nil at the break, came out for the second half, a little bit sluggish, needed it speeding up a little bit. And we get the second goal. A free kick, Guilfee doesn't hit the greatest free kick, but Lucas Dain reacts brilliantly, takes it on to his right foot and just stands a great cross to the far post for Domino Calvertlu and he finished it well with a good diamond header.  The one thing I would say about this game is defensively from set plays. We look very, very vulnerable and we need to sort that out. We look very good on offensive set plays now, but the zonal stuff, and I'm not going to bash the zonal marking because sometimes it's players just not reacting to stuff that's by them and I don't necessarily blame zonal marking for that. Zonal marking will work if you practice it enough and if people do the jobs that they are assigned to do, but regardless of that, you have to react to the ball and there was a couple of times, once in the first half, twice in the second half, we just didn't react. The one was a throwing back off flicked on and everyone just stood still. One of you has to take responsibility for that, you know, and that was just something that was a big thing for me and I know this isn't the team and stuff like that, but I think what we need to do is the whole squad needs to know that you still need to defend. They get a goal back, you know, a ball into the box and it was a good header, whipped in a good header into the top corner and it's game on, 85 minutes it's game on and you're thinking, oh no, five minutes they get mother's set play or something and you know, you could go to penalties and what, having had a lot of control of the game, that would be, I don't want to say it's travesty, but it would be really frustrating. But it didn't do everything, you know, Morgan Snidlin came on, he was involved, won the ball, the ball goes down to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, you know, Jen Togson once the ball played inside Calvert-Lewin, shifted inside, whipped in, absolutely brilliant shot into the top corner and that was that. You know, it was over, it was done. We could have added a four through Cairn and Dowley should have scored. There's no question about that, he could have laid it square to Togson for four, but he sighed for to the wide. And yet some good performances tonight, Lucas Dean for me was probably mad at a match. I thought Cairn to him, I got better and better, it was good to see two centre backs with a turn of pace. I thought Tom Davis got better and better as the night went on, really drove us forward at times. I've seen people on social media, it just shows how differently you see the game and a lot of people around me were of the same opinion, Dominic Calvert-Lewin didn't have a good game. For me, he worked, but I've seen him have much better games, but he scored two really good goals and I've seen people saying he was mad at a match. So it just shows you, doesn't it? He was average, but his goals were fantastic and that's what I'd rather him be. Rather than play great and not score, I'd rather him be average and get two.   So yeah, there you go, with three-one-wimber in the next round, let's hope the draw is kind to us, it's not normally in this competition, no-one seems to have a clue when the draw is, apparently it's tomorrow, it's seven now, which is bizarre, but there you go. And we're in the half of the next round, so a home draw against a league two side with the Ninja League crisis will do me fine. We've won the game three, while my man on a match was Lucas Dean and all months and upwards, off we go and yeah, there you go.

He got a bit huffed up like, I can't sell you all these. They're too valuable. Hey, Bolo Buddies, thanks for watching. All right, in this video, we're gonna talk about big money Bolo's items to be on the lookout for items you can buy low and sell for a profit. I'm gonna tell you where they got it, what they paid for it, and what it sold for. I shared this in my Bolo Buddies Facebook group and it says, share your best November Bolo. Now the format is gonna be changing next month, so check out this video. I'll post it down below in the description and it'll tell you how to share. So just a little bit different format, same concept. So the first item here, it says paid 55 after winning a Goodwill online local pickup item. It said sold for full asking of 1,000 plus shipping on eBay. So online auction, pickup only. It is a Salisbury Americana mailbox, private access, 30 doors and keys, front loading. So it's like, you know, when you go to the post office and it has little doors that open, it's kind of like that. The next one, paid 37 at a yard sale. It sold for 212 plus shipping. And this one comes from Picker Money Flipper on eBay and YouTube. And they have an amazing channel with awesome sales. Some of the things they sell are incredible. It's a Westinghouse Vintage Antique Electric Meter Brass Table Lamp. One switch, tested and working. And this is what it looks like. Here is another one from Picker Money Flipper. It says two Guardian Pet Safe Wireless Dog Fence Receiver Callers. And these sold for 151.96. And this is what it looks like. Went to a rummage sale on the second day and found these Art Deco enameled place card holders. Paid 25 cents for a bag of 12 sold on eBay within a couple of weeks of listing. Bayer accepted an offer for 167. Who would have thought that these tiny metal place card holders were a bolo? And they are Art Deco Japanese Cloison A and it does say antique enameled place card holders, lot of 12. And they're really tiny, but that's what they look like. Second time in four years selling this same sweater. Wow, that is great. I paid 20 on Poshmark knowing it would sell for more. Sold in about a month on Etsy for 200. So she must have bought it, sold it. No, sit down. So she must have bought it, sold it and then maybe went and searched the platforms to try to find it. And it is a vintage 80s Adele knitwear pink Dalmatian heart fairy key Larex sweater. This is what it looks like. So that's one thing that you can do when you get into these certain things and you've sold them before. A lot of people don't know they're a bolo. So you can look for those items on other platforms. I do have links down below. They're referral links to join Poshmark. You'll get $10 if you use my referral link. And that's money to shop as soon as you join Poshmark. Same with Mercari. When you join Mercari, you're gonna get $10 to shop but you're also gonna get another $20 to shop when you sell $100 worth of stuff on their platform. And we're resellers, right? So that's $30 of money to shop with those referral links down below. So definitely check those out and then I get a little money to shop as well. So thank you for using my referral links. Got at a local desert industries, local church thrift store for $2. I bought three of them, all different, unique, one of a kind, this one sold for $74.99. It's a little souls doll, 1999 Lexi, 23 inch Gretchen Wilson, must be the artist, one of a kind rare Christmas gift. And this is what it looks like. So artisan made items can definitely sell. Sometimes they take a little longer and sometimes they sell really quickly. It really just depends. This one comes from Piece of Scrap on YouTube. And she paid a dollar for these Morrell sandals at a church sale. Sold for a full asking price of $48 shipped on eBay in November. So $40 and 11 cents plus shipping. And they say goldfish. So I don't know if they're like kind of the goldfish color or if that's what they're actually, they market them as that's the style. I don't know. But anyway, that's what they sold for. This one also comes from Piece of Scrap and she sells a lot of clothing and shoes. Definitely check out her YouTube channel. You will learn a lot. She paid $3.75 at the Goodwill for this and sold it for a full asking price of $188 on eBay. And that was the shipped price. So 175 plus shipping. It is a, pervarian, per, peru, I feel like I know this word and I can't remember how to say it. Pervian, per, peru, just look at it. Connection Poncho, Shawl, alpaca, peru, fringe animal knit, Langen look, gray. So a lot of words there, I know nothing about. So if that is maybe starts, maybe it's Peruvian, Peruvian maybe, I don't know. This one comes from Nina's Jewels and she paid $5 at a garage sale for these and sold them for 100 best offer. And they are Teaks by Gavarelli, women's size nine ballet flats. And yes, these are definitely a Bolo shoe to look for. Check out Nina's Jewels on YouTube for more Bolo's. I picked up this Macadamia, Macadamian. I thought it was Macadamian. Is it Macadamia? I've always said Macadamian nuts. I don't know what it is. But it is a nut brittle tin full of vintage buttons at a garage sale for 50 cents. I am in the process of sorting the buttons to add some other buttons that I've purchased and make lots to sell. I listed the can on eBay on a whim just to see if it would sell. It did sell for my asking price of 13 plus shipping in less than a month. The fun part is that I received nice feedback stating it was going into a museum in Hawaii. Wow, that's really cool. And they probably would have paid a million dollars for it if it's going to a museum. That is pretty cool. Check it out. This one also comes from Nina's Jewels, paid $10 at an estate sale. It was attached to the cabinet and we asked if we could remove it. Paid 68, best offer plus shipping. Yeah, this is one of those under the counter spacemakers and they are definitely a bolo. Black and Decker, white spacemaker, coffee maker with mounting hardware. And this is what it looks like. She said, can we take apart, can we take this off the cabinet? Hey, if it works, it works, right? Paid $6 at an estate sale. Took a best offer of 81. They sold very quickly. The lamps appear to be hand, or I'm sorry, homemade from Ironstone Crocs. Very unique. This one comes from Perry Winkle and Paisley, eBay store Perry Winkle 60. And she said, thank you, Courtney, for all you do. They are Vintage James Keeler and Son's Orange Marmalade Jars, Ironstone Croc lamps. Pair, rare. How fun is that? Best offer of 81. This one also comes from Perry Winkle and Paisley on eBay. Paid a couple bucks at a small town thrift store. Had it listed all summer, but it finally sold last week for $79. It is a Dimensions Gold Tree Skirt Cross Stitch Kit. Here comes Santa, 45 inch round, new old stock. And yes, anything Dimensions Gold, look it up. And the tree skirts can do really well. Paid up for this at an estate sale because I couldn't resist, it was $80. Tried selling on Facebook Marketplace because I didn't wanna ship it and got a $35 offer. Finally listed on eBay and it sold in about two months for $250, plus buyer paid shipping. And this also comes from Perry Winkle and Paisley. It is a Vintage Nintendo NES video game rolling storage cart from the 80s. Check that out. Paid for dollars and 99 cents at the Salvation Army. Sold in a few weeks and sold on eBay and Etsy within hours of each other. And before I could de-list it after selling on eBay. Yes, that does happen sometimes, but not very often. You always wanna remove things as soon as they sell. Vintage 80s, 90s, Kauai, Teddy Bear Stars Pastel, quilted, I think it's a travel bag and this is what it looks like. Out of print manual for vintage carburetors. Paid $2 at a thrifty shopper in Syracuse, New York. Buyer was all in for $35.85. This one comes from Edge City Traders. That is her eBay and she is also now on whatnot. So check her out. But it is a manual, bam. And looks like 28 plus shipping. This one also comes from Edge City Traders. Starbucks Reserve Mug. Paid seven at the Goodwill in Portland, Oregon. Buyer is all in for $43.43. It's a 2015 limited edition ceramic mug. 33.88 plus shipping. Found this vintage dream house at the Goodwill Benz. The box had been opened, put the contents but the contents inside were sealed. Sold in less than 24 hours for $84. It is a blue box dream house carry-along light up. So this is a blue box brand. This is not like a Barbie dream house or anything like that. So you can see what it looks like here. Sold this Spin Master Robot Kitty for $50. This is definitely a Bolo. I've sold these a few times. I actually have one in the other room without its tail that I need to list. And I think it'll still sell without the tail. What do you guys think? Found at the Goodwill Benz and sold in four days. Yes, it is a Zoomer Kitty by Spin Master and these are definitely a Bolo. Our November Bolo, we picked up four of these replacement glass shades at a local thrift store for $2 each. Someone purchased all four for $100 plus shipping. This one comes from eBay store, K-Hoff-77. It is a pool table or pendant fixture replacement glass shade. And no fun to ship. Okay, story time. So here's a cool estate sale story. Packed house in the basement. I found a junk box with a bunch of neat items tucked away under a workbench. There were 12 of these vintage ready kilowatt Zippo lighters. Comps were high. So in my bag, they went in hopes for a bundle deal. At checkout, I noticed one similar lighter in the glass case, the valuables priced at 125. When I was presenting my items for checkout, the guy running the sale asked where I found all the lighters and I told him, he got a bit huffed up. Like, I can't sell you all these. They're too valuable. What? I said, well, how about at least one then? Sort of like a finder's fee? He said, well, we would have found them. I pointed out how unlikely it was based on where they were and having overheard him telling someone they come Monday, everything left in the house was going to the dumpster. He actually saw my point and gave me one lighter, no charge. So free to me, non-working, sold in about a month for asking price of $78.99 plus shipping. And this is what it looks like. Man, that is a bummer. He could have got them all. Bummer bummer. Hi, Courtney, bought this for a dollar at a church thrift store in Oregon. Do not tax, I'm sorry, thrift store in Oregon, do no tax. Last year, it sat in my money pile for close to a year. I had dropped price, he offered 100, I countered 110. Didn't want to be greedy, he took it. He was in all in for 124 with shipping and tax. Nice way to start the morning. It is a vintage Avon 1987 countdown to Christmas advent calendar with original mouse. Yes, Bolo, Bolo, Bolo. If you find one of these, they are definitely a Bolo even without the mouse. This one comes from Timeless Treasures by Gina on eBay. Purchased at a church rummage sale in Dublin and paid a dollar, listed for about two months and sold for full asking price of 35 and the buyer paid shipping. 2006 Wish Pets, Willie Wild Dog, Rare Plush African Wild Dog Stuffed. And this is what it looks like. Another church rummage sale pickup, I paid 50 cents and flipped within a couple of months to a new buyer on Mercari. It is a, okay, you guys, give me a break here. How on earth do you say this? Be-be-che-che-che, be-be-che-che, be-be-che-che, be-be-che-che, I'm gonna say with confidence. Be-be-che-che, pink baby toddler girl, five and a half. Sekiguchi Mancini Monkey Doll Toy. I have no idea what that word even means if that's the brand, because I thought Man-che-che-mon, I don't think that's spelled right. Maybe it is, I don't know. Anyway, this is what it looks like, sold for $20.96 plus shipping. All right, you guys, I really wish I could see its cute little face. Have you guys ever seen these little monkeys? They are so cute. Anyway, thank you guys so much for being here. Thank you for watching. Be sure to like, comment, subscribe and share. I have tons of these videos on my YouTube channel. Definitely check them out. I also have Bolo category videos and just my what solds, all kinds of videos. So if you wanna learn more about what to sell on different platforms, definitely check out those videos. I have what sold videos of items I sold on Poshmark and Mercari, I think I even have one from Etsy, but it's really old. But anyway, I am back on Etsy. So I'll let you guys know how that goes. So far, I've really just kind of put some of my high dollar stuff over there and I imagine it's gonna take a while to sell. I do use List Perfectly. I start my items on eBay and CrossPost to the other platforms. I do recommend however, using the catalog. I have a video, it looks like this. This will teach you how to use List Perfectly, either doing it my way or with the catalog. There's so many more perks to use the catalog than to not use it. So definitely check that out and definitely consider the catalog even though that's not what I do. They do have a special offer running right now where you can get the new ProPlus plan. And I have a video that looks like this that will explain that if you guys wanna check it out. I believe you get three months for the price of Pro and that is going on for a limited time. So check out this video for more information and check out those links down below. Those are my referrals, my affiliates, different things like that. That does help me keep the channel going and I appreciate it when you guys use those and it cost you nothing. So thank you so much. And as always, thank you for being here and thanks for watching.


Hey, Kyle Bears. This is Laura Lee from CalTV Sports here on Memorial Glade Asking the students what they thought about football's big game versus Stanford before it even happened Let's find out what the students have to say. Did you hear anything about the big game on Twitter on Facebook about football being Stanford? Facebook, yeah. Yeah, you what did you hear on Facebook? I'm surprised really. Yeah, because Stanford has a better team Yeah, I mean Because every other year I've been here. It's just Stanford wins every game. Yeah, just everyone was really psyched about it Yeah, it's really really happy about it And I hang out with people that are very knowledgeable in football. Stanford was projected to win in here We were the underdogs in the game and we came out with a win. What do you have to say about this? I don't know what it means yet. Are you surprised? Yeah, but I mean SC just beat Washington Like it just seems to me like the Pac-12 is kind of a wash. All right So over this weekend we played Stanford for the big game and we got a whopping zero points It was zero to 70. What do you think about this? Well, I heard bears are pretty bad So I wasn't surprised on a scale of zero to ten. How bad is bad? How bad is bad? Well, I think less than less than two is bad. Less than two is bad. So where's our team at? Maybe one or something. So what advice would you give Chad Hansen after he fumbled the ball during the second quarter and Pulled out some of the grass on the field and frustration Well, I would say as an environmental science major He should really not do so. I know I think sportsmanship is important to maybe maybe feel a little less aggressive I've never been in that position like where I'm on the field and where that kind of thing can happen But like it doesn't do the fans good. It doesn't do you good It's not like it's not helping anyone to react like that. Davis Webb has this cannonball pose He does after games. Do you think he should continue doing that since it's like his signature move and everything? Well, maybe What does it look like? It just yeah, just goes into this is cannonball. I mean it sounds a little bit fun Also, like really again aggressively And then running out of the tunnel our quarterback Davis Webb actually tripped and fell in front of everyone while he's running out of the tunnel Did you see this on Twitter and like what do you think about this? I think it's ironic that we won the game after He tripped maybe that's like a symbol or something You know, maybe that's what it means to be a Cal bear, you know second-class citizen to Stanford But pulling it out. What did you think about Trey Watson stealing the golf cart after the game and riding it onto the field? Do you think he was trying to copy March on Lynch? He literally just drove the golf cart on the field and he actually hit one of the cheerleaders. Really? Yeah Wow, do you think you should pay for the damages? I think the school should because He's kind of like not technically, but he's kind of like an employee of UC Berkeley Should he pay for the damages? Depends on how aware of like how bad It was that he was doing it when he was doing it.  Well by winning the game We got our axe back from Stanford and one of our players actually took the axe out of the case and smashed it onto the field. Do you think this was poor sportsmanship? I he was caught up in the moment. He was expressing his passion, I guess, you know, that's surprising I guess that's all that pents up a frustration of not winning for so long Big game football versus Stanford That was a Washington game. No, it was literally on Saturday. Did you get are you sure you should check your tickets? You might want to get a refund Couldn't have said it better myself Go Bears is your father who himself was a former professional athlete hasn't still


Hello and welcome to the live stream today. We're talking about affiliate programs and namely my own take one tech affiliate program. I'm going to be talking through how this works and how it's a way that you can monetize my content. So that's the idea about this. I'll just get straight on into it really. One of the reasons that I went with Kajabi as a course platform is that it makes it really easy to just add in your own affiliate program. So the way that you sign up for this from an affiliate point of view is if you head over to my website, you'll see there's a little affiliate button just up here in the menu at the top there. And then that will take you through to this page. And all you need to do is just put in your name, email and then create a password and add in your PayPal email. So that is the way that folks will get paid. And then once you've done that, you'll get a welcome email obviously. And that'll take you through to something that looks like this, which is an affiliate dashboard. And so basically here, there are links to all of my courses, but there's also some other generic links. And the way that the affiliate program works is that you basically get 30% commission on any referrals to either my courses or the Tate One Tech Academy. And obviously the Tate One Tech Academy is a monthly subscription. So that is a monthly recurring revenue for the lifetime of that referral. The other thing to note about this is that you have this thing called cookie duration, which is not the amount of time that cookies lost in the cookie jar, which is not very long in my house, but it is the time that after you've referred someone, how long that that person is still sort of attributed to you as an affiliate. And basically I've just set this to the maximum possible in Kajabi. So the default is 30 days, but I've changed it to 90, which is the maximum that Kajabi allows. So the way that that works is basically anybody that you send to my site through any of the affiliate links that you can find in the dashboard there. So regardless of which one of these links you actually use, once somebody's on the site, they're attributed to you and any purchases made within sort of that 90 day period are then obviously logged against you and those affiliate commissions are paid out. And they're basically paid out on the 20th or 22nd of the month, the sort of the following month. So whatever happens in December, for example, would be paid out in the 22nd of January. So the links that I've added into that affiliate area then, originally what I did was I linked to all of my courses because when I have special offers on like Black Friday deals and things like that, then I obviously encourage affiliates to share those links out as well, because those discount codes apply to affiliates as well. Just be sure to share your actual sharing link, but then give the discount code. But yeah, the links that I created were things like, you know, my Ecamm Live Masterclass, the Zoom Masterclass, all of these kind of things. But I realized that actually it's maybe not always those things that people want to share. So what I've done is I've gone in and created some additional links. And I've just got to give a thanks to Mark from the Take One Tech community in the Discord where recently I'm running a free workshop that I announced and he said, well, could you just create a link for us to share out that free workshop? Because as I mentioned, you know, anybody who you refer into the site on any of these links, it's still attributed to you. And actually thinking about it, you know, when you are looking for affiliates, and I'm gonna speak both as the person running this program, but also if you're thinking of setting up an affiliate program for your courses, your products, your services, or whatever, this has just sort of given me a little bit of a better insight into it. As the affiliate, you know, it's one thing to be sharing a paid product. So if we go over to my site, for example, then you could send a link out to my courses page or to a specific course. And so I do have all of these different courses, the Discord YouTube beginner's guide. I've got some of the beginner's guides coming soon. I've got these master classes that are out. So obviously as an affiliate, you can link out to each of these different courses. If you know somebody who's interested in Stream Deck, for example, there was just an affiliate sale just yesterday for somebody buying the Stream Deck Masterclass attributed to one of my affiliates. So yeah, you can obviously link to people. If you know somebody who's trying to master their Stream Deck, then you could send them a link to this course. However, if you are maybe not, if maybe you haven't signed up for the course yourself or you're not really sure about it, well, there's plenty of free resources on my site as well. So one of those would be over on this resources page, in fact. So if you know anybody who wants to learn how to create content using AI, AI-powered course creation, I've got a free guide here. So you can actually share out a link just to this resources page. And then from here, people will be able to go and go and grab their copy of this guide.  And so any sales that come after that fact are gonna be attributed to you as well. So it is a great way to be sort of sharing your sort of, the free value or the free content that I have, but that's still then leading into sales within the next 90 days or whatever it is, then that's a great way for you to just share the free stuff and let me deal with the selling for you. And then obviously you'd get paid your commissions on top of that. So what I'm gonna do is I'll just first of all say hello to you, your past driving, what's your name by the way? I'm not sure if I have ever known your name, I'm not sure I do, but hello, great to see you here. Hey George, great to see you. Great to see your lovely headshot as well from Creator Camp as well. It's been great to see everybody that was at Creator Camp and I heal did everyone's headshots and so it's great to see all these nice headshots of folks. So yeah, great to see you here, George as well. So what I'll do is I'll talk through some of the products and things like that that I do actually have to offer so that you can understand what you might want to share out. So I'll start off with the courses. I did sort of briefly touch on those, but I'll just come back to those and I'll talk about what is planned and then also what I'm planning to build out in the future, both from a course point of view, but also from the free resources and the affiliate program in general because it's something that I've had set up for, well, since I've moved over to Kajabi, I guess a year and a half ago, two years, something like that and yeah, I'm planning on now focusing on having done a lot of the course building really working to improve on the affiliate program. Hey, Terry, to you too as well, just a quick hello. So let's get into the courses and the sort of paid content then that you can sort of share out or that people may well end up sort of going on to purchase through the affiliate program. If I come over to the right screen, it might help. I'll just talk about the master classes and the courses. So first of all, I've got the Discord and YouTube beginner's guides and incidentally my sort of naming convention for these. I see beginner's guides are things that are, may well rename them actually quick start guides. The idea is that it's just to get people up and running although I guess the YouTube one's quite a large course in itself now. But yeah, the beginner's guides are just intended to sort of help people get up and running with things. So there is also a beginner's guide for Ecamm coming but that is in contrast to the Ecamm Live masterclass which I have, which is basically sort of all encompassing, covering absolutely everything. So beginner's guides are maybe not covering everything but are intended to be, as I say, quick start guides. The master classes are more about being all encompassing, covering absolutely everything. So you go from coming in potentially as a complete beginner and then knowing everything there is about the subject by the end. So that's the sort of idea behind these. I've also got a studio masterclass which I'm working on that'll be coming out shortly as well. The Kajabi masterclass. So my whole site and course platform that I use is built on Kajabi and then finally there's an automation one coming as well. This is the last one that's been long awaited actually but it's all about using keyboard maestro and all these different tools that I use for automation on my Mac. The other type of courses though that I have are accelerator courses. So these are basically cohort based courses. All of the beginner's guides and the masterclasses are sort of learn at your own pace. So you sign up and then you have access to those pre-recorded videos. The accelerators though are where we have a sort of week where we meet every day and go through a process. There's pre-recorded content in conjunction with that as well. Incidentally, the next Kajabi accelerator is coming up in January and then there's basically gonna be the ECAM one after that a YouTube and a content creation one after that as well. So yeah, the next Kajabi accelerator though is scheduled for Monday the eighth to Friday the 12th. So give yourself the first week off after the new year. But then the idea of this is to just get straight on into building your education business out of your content. So that's gonna be happening from Monday the eighth to Friday the 12th. These are available to sign up by the way of course. I'm talking about this from an affiliate point of view but yeah, obviously these courses are there if you just wanna learn yourself too. One thing to note is you don't actually have to have signed up to any of these courses to become an affiliate. Sometimes the affiliate programs are limited to you actually owning the product or service or whatever yourself. The way that I view this is because basically I do the same thing in my product, my courses as I do here on YouTube. So if you have liked my teaching style in any of my YouTube videos, then chances are you'll probably find the same kind of thing in my courses because it's me doing the same thing just in a much more structured manner. So that's why I didn't limit it to people who have previously bought my courses because you may well have followed all of my videos or some of my videos on YouTube and figure that I may well be a good person to teach on any of these particular subjects in a paid product. So that's why I don't put this sort of restriction on it. So you don't have to have done my courses yourself to become an affiliate and share out these things. And also that's where I think this idea of sharing out the free content comes in because then you are just sharing out something that's free to other people and they can take that or leave it and then as I say, I can sort of follow up with that and do the sales part of it for you so that you still get the commission when somebody signs up to one of these courses. So yeah, the accelerators then as I say are these cohort-based courses where we sort of get together and learn and grow together on over a particular period of time. One of the benefits of doing these accelerators is sometimes people find that they learn better in this kind of environment where they have a specific period of time where they're gonna do this along with other people and have that sort of live interaction. The other thing is there is then obviously a commitment of actually being there and doing the course whereas what happens often if somebody buys a pre-recorded course, there is a quite a high percentage of people that get it with the best of intentions but then because there is no time element to it, sometimes it can slip by and I've done that myself, I've bought courses before that have sat there and watched for quite a long time sometimes. So yeah, that's the idea behind the accelerator courses. The other thing though is there is my Academy and basically the Take One Tech Academy then and there's links to all of these pages by the way in the affiliate dashboard but the Academy is basically a way for people to get access to all of these courses on a subscription model. So obviously there's quite a lot of courses that are available and so the Academy provides a more sort of cost-effective way to get access to all of these courses on a subscription model and obviously all the new courses that come out, they get access to those as well. In the Academy, we also have monthly workshops. So these are basically deep dives in some particular topics. So here's just a few previous ones, technical setup for virtual presentations and webinars, strategies for effective task and file management. So it's more than just about the tool itself. Often these workshops are related to the sort of business of what we're doing here as well, unlocking the power of AI for content creators, practical guide to building an online content business. So these are just a few of the workshops that we've had. So those are included in the Academy as well. Then there's also weekly Q&As that we have at one particular tier of the Academy. So that's sort of a group coaching environment. And so these are the different tiers. We've got the professional and the premium, which are basically for the professional is giving you access to the monthly webinars and all of the pre-recorded content. The premium, what that gives you over the professional tier is that as well as all of that, you also get access to those weekly Q&As, plus you also get access to the in-person, sorry, cohort-based accelerator courses as well. And that's available on a sort of monthly or annual basis there. So of course, any referral from an affiliate point of view, if you were to refer somebody to my monthly premium tier of the Academy, then that would be basically $60 a month there about revenue for you on an ongoing basis for as long as they were a member of the Academy. So those are my sort of paid products, but as I say, there are a few other options in terms of what you can refer people to. I've already talked about the resources page, but the thing that sort of triggered this different sort of thought process in me about the whole affiliate program and this idea of actually creating links for you to share that are links to my free content, that all came about because I was talking about this upcoming workshop that I have. And the workshop is called Meeting Tech Mastery. It's in collaboration with Vivo Meetings. Vivo Meetings is an online meeting platform that is a sort of alternative to Zoom. It's got some benefits over Zoom in that first of all, you can just set the resolution that you want. So anybody who's used e-cam live virtual camera and use that with Zoom will know that we do occasionally have some issues with resolution when we're using a virtual camera into Zoom. Well, Vivo Meetings allows you to just select, yes, I want 1080p, I want 720 or whatever it is. So that's a great thing right out of the gate for my audience for using e-cam with Vivo Meetings or with a meeting platform, I should say. The other thing it's got is AI transcriptions and also the recording as well is 1080p recording too. And then there's the price point. It is actually quite considerably cheaper than a Zoom thing without the Zoom restrictions. So I know there's some people in my academy, for example, who use Zoom not particularly regularly with they don't want to necessarily have a paid Zoom account, but then you've got restrictions on, certainly the resolution is then definitely an issue if you're not on a paid Zoom account, but also the issue with the time limit that you've got if you're on a free Zoom account. But the jump up to go to a paid account is sometimes a bit of a leap for people who don't necessarily need to use it all that much. Vivo Meetings offers a much more cost-effective way of doing that. But anyway, aside from that, that's just who Vivo Meetings is in case you are wondering, but this is a free workshop that I'm running for them on their channel. And the idea of this is that it is for the benefit of the Vivo Meetings users, it's all about, it's called Meeting Tech Mastery, it's all about how to basically transform your online meetings, as it says, just there in fact, let me just read that, transform your online meetings with pro-level video and audio. So it's over five days, it is a each day is basically 60 to 90 minute stream and it is going to be day one, it's gonna be all about video and lighting, so how to improve the way that you actually show up and look on your meetings. Day two is gonna be about audio. Day three is about thinking differently about presentations and the way that you actually present in your online meetings. And then day four is gonna be about the Vivo Meetings platform because although this is obviously for existing Vivo Meetings users, there will no doubt be some people completely new to the platform. So day four is gonna be a sort of deep dive into all the functions and features of Vivo Meetings for new folks, but also to existing users to make sure that they understand all of the new features that have been added in and how to get the most out of it as well. Finally, day five is going to be about how to use live production techniques into your meetings. And anybody who has obviously been following my stuff will know that I'm a huge Ecam live fan. That's what I use to make all of my videos. It's what I'm using to stream now. Well, you can take all of that production quality into Vivo Meetings as well until I'll be talking about how to do that. So whether or not you are interested in this new meeting platform, whether or not you're an existing user or not, there is still plenty there for folks to maybe using any other platform. And this is a free workshop. As I say that I'm running, you can find a link for it in the description. And then also I've dropped a link to it in the chat here as well. And this is a great way for you to share out to your community to bring people in. You're giving value. People will come in to find out about how they can level up their online presence. It's a free workshop. Plenty of value there. Five days, as I say, an hour, hour and a half each day. And there will be downloads associated with it as well. Incidentally, it's Monday to Friday, but on the following Monday, there is a sort of bonus session which is gonna be a live Q&A in a Vivo meeting itself. So we'll all come together. We'll be able to see each other face-to-face and then any questions that you've got out of the workshop, which will be basically the workshop will be live on YouTube, on Vivo Meetings website, on Vivo Meetings channel, I should say. So the questions there will be sort of chat-based questions. And I will obviously answer all of those. But yeah, the following Monday is the bonus session in Zoom, sorry, in Vivo Meetings, I should say. Bit of a slip there. In Vivo Meetings, where we'll be able to have a chat and people will be able to come up and ask questions and things like that. So it's a great thing to share out though, because that means that you're just sharing value out to your clients, your contacts, whatever it happens to be. And then they're coming in and getting all of this free value. And then obviously, I make no secrets about it. Guess what's gonna happen at the end of this five-day workshop? I'll be contacting people to say, hey, if you found this useful and you'd like to learn more about any of the things I've talked about in this free workshop, then I have courses available on X, Y and Z. And so that's the sort of process with these free workshops there. They're intended to give total value, but then also, there's a limit to how much you can cover in a five, one and a half hour session. So there's always the scope there to go on further than that. So yeah, if you sign up to become an affiliate, you will find in the affiliates list here that there is somewhere in this list, down at the bottom there, meeting tech mastery workshop. So all you would do is you just literally copy that link from there, and now you've copied that link, and then you would share that out into your network or whatever, and that would take people through to this landing page. But then that contact would then be attributed to you, so that when they then potentially go and sign up after the fact, then those sales would be attributed to you for commission. Just a quick check in. Hey, Gary, thank you very much. Great, it's always great to have a name to put to you to folks, so great to see you. And thanks George, I really appreciate that. Your multi-day workshops are amazing. I always learn something new. I'm really pleased to hear that. Yeah, I've done a couple of those for ECAM before, so I did the ECAM tools and tech workshop, not was it two months ago, three months ago, and then the ECAM advanced one previously. So I will be doing more of those in the future as well. So yeah, sharing out the link to this free workshop though is, as I say, a great way to just, you're just giving out free value. There will guaranteed be value for folks in coming along to this. And the same thing then applies to having done this. Thanks again, Mark, for the suggestion. What I've also just added in, if I go to my right page, I'll go to this one here. There's also a link down at the bottom to my free resources section. So if you click on this one here, where it says free resources, that's a way that you're basically gonna be sending people through to my resources page, which has just escaped me for a second. Here it is. This one, so if you've got somebody who wants to know more about these things, then as I say, they can go and grab their Zoom settings, Sony ZV-1 guide, five step digital marketing blueprint, these checklists, ECAM live shortcuts, live stream checklist. What is on my agenda for next year or my plan for next year is to really build out these free resources to make plenty of them in the, they're technically known as lead magnets, if you wanna use the very technical term for them. So when you put something like this out there, obviously it is to provide free value to folks and demonstrate your knowledge as a creator or whatever. So it's giving something for free, but always there is the exchange there that that's in exchange for an email address. And people can opt out of subscribing to your future email marketing, but that's the reason for part of those being there is to then drive future sales. So I've got a huge list of these sort of guides, things like that that I'm gonna be adding in over the coming months. And that's kind of one of my things for next year. I won't go too much into the evolution of Take One Tech. I talked about that in a previous live stream, but this year very much has been about sort of building the infrastructure, putting in a lot of the courses. And next year is about actually then, putting that more out into the world. And that's part of the reason why I'm talking about the affiliate program now. But there will be a lot more of these guides coming. So definitely worth watching out for that. Incidentally, if you want to know where you can find out about these things, I will be sending out sort of emails to affiliates when anything new is added in. But if you wanna have a sort of conversation about this, and I mentioned Mark suggesting this thing about promoting the free event, you can find that in Discord. So if you haven't already joined the Take One Tech Discord server, it's free to join. Don't be daunted if you're not familiar with Discord. There's some guide to help you there, but you just simply join by going to takeonetech.io slash family. And there you can sign up. And once you come into the Discord community, you'll see that we've got these different channels. So basically, if you wanna talk about Ecamm Live, questions about that, Roadcaster. We've got little channels down the side for all of these different things where you can go and get your questions answered. It's so much more efficient than, well certainly, than certainly in Facebook groups if you've got a community. Discord's a great place for it. But it's also much better than the YouTube comments because it does become a little bit of a black hole of somebody posts a comment on YouTube and may well respond to it, but then the follow-up conversation is lost. The beauty of this is that the conversations can be sort of followed by everybody, so everyone gets to benefit. But also it's not just then about me answering a question. There is quite often, in fact, always somebody with a much better response or idea than me that can answer in there as well. But anyway, enough about Discord. The point is that you'll see that there is this affiliates section in there just down on the sidebar. And when you have not sort of signed up to become an affiliate, you'll just see that this takes you to the affiliate signup page. So this is another way to find it if you are in the Discord already. You'll find the link to go and sign up there. Once you sign up, you just need to let me know that you have signed up and then I can give you access to these other two areas, which is basically the affiliates area. This is where, as I say, Mark asked the question. And so I sort of implemented his suggestion. I'm looking to really build out my affiliate program next year. So I'm open to any and all suggestions of how I can improve it, things that you want, resources and so on. To that end, I do have a resources section here, which again, I'm looking to build out. But here is where you can find things where like notifications for affiliates. So when I launched my keynote course, for example, I always let my affiliates know the link is now available in your affiliate area. Same with my Black Friday deal that I recently run. So that was 30% off all courses. So that was open to affiliates to share out as well. So they could share that with their contact base or social media or whatever and share the graphics as well. So I'm looking to do a better job though of creating a dedicated area where you'll have all of these resources to all of these different things that you might want to share out. And yeah, this is part of my plan for next year is just to make this a much better experience for everyone as well. So if I just come back over to here for a second, let me just switch this off something weird has happened with my Discord has just gone a little bit funny on me, but there you go, all better, all better now. So that is a little bit about the affiliate program. I'm gonna keep this one short today because that's really what I wanted to focus on is just making people aware of the affiliate program. No doubt there will be an email going out about this to everyone as well. But if you've watched and enjoyed my content and you think that somebody else could benefit from it, then this is a great way for you to share that content and then also go on to actually monetize it yourself. Just one thing that has come to my mind now that I think about it is a great way to share this would be if maybe I should create a dedicated page on my site just with all of my different links to my social media and specifically to YouTube. So that if ever you wanna share the YouTube out, then you send it through to the page. And so if you sent somebody to my YouTube channel, you would also get attributed for that. So let me just make a note of that and I will add that one into the links as well. So there we go, that is all for today. Thanks so much for watching and let me just have a final check-in with the chats to see if I've missed anything out here. Just had a very odd thing happen with my chat, there you go. And no, it looks like I haven't, so great stuff. Thanks so much for watching though and I will see you all next time and I'll leave a link to some of my other content over on here, look at that huge hint. I've just transitioned over to my new Mac and it looks like this scene, I forgot to update. Thanks so much for watching, I'll see you next time.


Pride is about remembering where the LGBT movement came from. Before pride was a parade, it was a march for our lives. We should not forget the life-saving act of making ourselves visible to someone who feels invisible. Though we may only participate in the parade once a year, each of us has the opportunity to help spark pride in another just by being who we are. This is Holy Work.


Let's move into the conversation slightly more towards Rezo, the new streaming platform. I'm just going to bring up some stats, which I think are interesting. Yeah, I'm interested to see these. So this is just like, this is a bit of a projection, obviously. So this is how many downloads are up for TikTok, Rezo's Spotify. Now imagine if a fraction of these downloaded and became subscribers to Rezo by Dancers is a new streaming platform, it would instantly be bigger than Spotify. They're going to have to be worried. Yeah, I remember in this stat, it's probably, well, I know for a fact this stat has to be outdated because I really took hold in this like about two months ago, but when TikTok surpassed 1.2 billion downloads at that point, they were at 800 million active, engaged daily users. I think it's 1.5 billion. That was in terms of total downloads. Probably, see, exactly. Because at that growth rate, I know it's more, but let's just stick with the old stat, 800 million actively engaged daily users versus the fact that Spotify as a whole, actively engaged, not engaged, free, free, like all that as a whole, they have 248 million users. Yeah, like that's that's ridiculous, right? So you're already dealing with a far greater number at that point. And how are they going to compete? Because that means more people are discovering music and interacting with music on Spotify, whether it's you want to position it that way or not. As a music app or not, it's just a reality of the interaction. And I'll say they've been quite clever. They've started in India and Indonesia, just starting out in emerging territories and already bigger than Spotify there. As you can, you know, of course, so it's a good place to start. Obviously, I imagine it will come roll out in the US within the next six to nine months as well. I don't think it'll be too long before we start seeing it in, you know, in the US and Europe. And I just think that even if like, you know, a quarter of 25% of users moved over to Rezo versus like Spotify or music, you know, it's already a massive market share. And I like the social aspects as well, the elements of this stream platform versus the rest is much more focused on, you know, you generated content and social sharing. Let's talk more on that. Speak more on the social aspect of that. Yeah, so I'm just going to bring these off the screen just so I can see, just give you a proper detail breakdown of what we're looking at. So the main focus right now is going to be on focusing on like you generated contents. You'll be able to, you know, create guest space on the songs and you also be able to comment on the track. So when you're listening to a track, you'll be able to see loads of different users' comments about what the song means to them and also share their gifts and videos that have gone to create it as well.  So I actually encourage you to stay on the app and actually, you know, lock your phone.  That's if that's like if SoundCloud did it right. Yeah. Yeah. And on a minor scale of that spot, SoundCloud allows you to see those comments as it streamed through. And that is something that's still unique to SoundCloud. And I actually, you know, it's cool to see and watch at times. So and that is that, which is. Yes, that's ridiculous. And it's interesting how they really take those learnings from the TikTok and they're applying it. And because they're so ahead of the curve from an innovation point, I think Spotify, they really have trouble. And they've taken over those emerging markets from when it doesn't hurt because Spotify is a platform that have been trying to capitalize and make money at the point. Well, TikTok will have to. They've been kind of ducking some of the regulation. But as opposed to having the answer and having that expectation of money that people have, like people, artists expect to make money off of Spotify. We need to make money. Y'all are playing our stuff. Y'all are taking our stuff. TikTok, yes, the record labels look at it like this. But artists aren't thinking like that about TikTok, right? The general public, you're not expecting it. It's just social media, right? From that standpoint, the front facing, you're looking at it like an Instagram, Twitter, Facebook. It's like, man, this is just where we interact. This is where we engage. They're not injecting that expected. So because of that, it being free and positioned that way allows it to expand in emerging markets for one. A lot faster. But understanding that we can get our first mover advantage and take market share here before Spotify has something meaningful. And then we're going to move into the places that you that you are already powerful like the US, because that's also another thing when it comes to it's just a weird game, Amazon, Apple. They do it with multiple companies. Them two are the most prevalent Amazon, Apple and Google. They'll oftentimes get into markets that they know that they aren't going to be the hugest in and kill, but it's more about hedging your bets and playing defense. It's like, we're going to come take some of your market share over here. Our main business is this. We don't truly care about our streaming platform like that, like that when it comes to Apple, Amazon, Google. But we have to have presence for one, we can take the learnings and invest it somewhere else. And two, we're just we're showing you, hey, you know, don't come on my block.  And it kind of slows things down. And they do that with multiple industry because they just have the ability to do it. But Spotify is number one in America. Now, what I try to explain to people when it comes to TikTok. It's still so new in America and people don't realize it. It's still so new in the UK. Like there's still a lot of stigmas attached to it that don't exist. But not realizing one, there's already millions of people in their thirties and forties on TikTok already. All right. And I'm like, this isn't me like selling TikTok. This is just what's happening.  I don't haven't read a newspaper. I don't know why I said papers, but reading articles and things like that and seeing even the government, the geopolitics of, you know, related to it. It's it's very interesting. And it makes it's one of the most. It's one of the best at globalization. I've seen even through media experiences and largely because of how they are rhythm. So TikTok is it has a lot of things that are worth watching. Even if you aren't engaged, even if you don't believe in it from a music standpoint, what they're doing and the things around it, the business implications and industry implications alone are extremely interesting and entertainment for somebody like me who can kind of nerd out on business and marketing. And then, obviously, for for artists, for for Rezo, when this launches, you know, you know, worldwide, it's a whole new stream platform to market yourself on.  So I imagine they'll be the first to do that as well. And what when you say that Spotify is thinking about tipping artists, they are, they are looking into it. Yeah, they've publicly said they are looking into it. But I imagine that TikTok would probably and by dance would be first. But with Rezo, when from what I've seen from the images and visuals that you go on your stream of track, you'll see like the, you know, Spotify camera, the visual looping. You'll see something similar to that to go the track. Then you also you're going to see like lyrics floating around, comments from users floating around, gifts floating around on the screen. So just a different listening experience to any of a streaming platform. It is. And it changes why you engage and why you stream. So what I would say coming from something like that, right, understanding how there's always been these parody songs that can blow up. And but a lot of times those parody songs don't necessarily make money. You have the ones that become that make money. And then you have a lot of parody songs that just become like a big YouTube video or something like that. But now that it's associated and it can be on a streaming platform. You'll have music that truly makes money, at least from a streaming standpoint. Not because it's good, right? And not that whole subjective thing that people talk about and whether it's good or not. No, I mean, where everybody acknowledges this isn't good. And it is a joke, but because you're on this platform and you're seeing not only you're hearing this music that might not be that great, but you're engaging with people and seeing comments that might be funny. It's going to keep you on that track and listening at the same time. Rather than going to Twitter or Instagram to see what people are saying about it. You're on the platform and you're still listening to music at the same time. So you're getting royalties anyway. Exactly. It's like if you were listening to Blueface and they had that whole thing about him being offbeat and you were getting the commentary about him being offbeat there and the jokes him being offbeat, kind of like a YouTube video except it's actually playing and looping and the money's being paid out. And like there's this entire truly engaging social space at the same time. I think if they do that like I'm imagining it, I think that's going to be really interesting.  Like if they get it right, like that is the potential. So exactly. Nobody has done gifts well yet to me on social media. I think Twitter is the best when it comes to how they've leveraged gifts.  It's truly underutilized. It's funny as well because obviously we've mentioned this before, but Spotify was very social when it first came along and it's gradually become more and more like reserved on that front. But they are looking at a it's going to find the article. But they're looking at this feature called taste buds where they're trying to bring back, you know, the friends and social sharing back into the platform a little bit. But it feels like a bit bit too late really, doesn't it? But too little too late. So this is the let's just put up. This was the article quietly testing its taste buds and they pulled down the website they had for it as well. But it's interesting that also this obviously has come about from a direct result of TikTok. There's no it's no coincidence that they're looking into this now because they've had these features before, but. Yeah, that's work in the road, man. Yeah, it's when those type of apps are you going to build it for the people or are you going to build it for business and investors and those corporates that be right. And so we discussed last time. Yeah, yeah, they made the decision to earlier haven't figured out how to do both. Like I guess you say they were, you know, they were pioneers in what some of the things that they did. So, you know, I think they I guess they had to take some of the arrows in dealing and probably allowing the licensing and record labels to take a little bit too much of a stronghold over them. And that's affected the actual user interaction and innovation and the things.
