Top 5 Vehicles Bucket List
(YELLING) This is insane! What was I thinking? On today's Bucket List, we split up to try to conquer the top five vehicle experiences we could dream of. Hi, guys. Codes here.
I'm excited to present to you my vehicle of choice. You can hear the motor. It is a biplane, and I will be wing walking. (SINGING) I've been waiting for this all my life, good things never come to those who wait in line. All right.
For those who don't know, or aware, or haven't been to an air show, wing walking is the process of climbing out of a perfectly good seat in an airplane and standing on top of the wings. Holy smokes. This is scary on the ground. I've done a lot of training, walked through it at least 100 times. Plane here, and then I climb out.
And then I'm just like wing walking like that. You are wing walking out there.
My son, James, has volunteered to show you the ropes. Oh, James. What's up, buddy?
You're smaller than I thought, as instructors go. Belts buckled all the time. The mags and the master switch, you don't want to be touching these. Duck a little further to get under the wires. I work the throttle?
Did he say that right? I am over it. I think everyone's wondering why we can't go ahead and strap in here on the runway and then take off. That's part of the fun, is you know, getting up there. Yay!
Y'all haven't even met my pilot. This is Mike. Me and Mike go way back. We met about an hour ago. How many times have you done this, Mike?
Couple dozen at least. We're pretty much golden. All the guys are telling me I'm crazy. My wife's kind of mad at me. And I'm just hoping we make it back home.
Woo! (SINGING) I'm losing my mind. Trying to find the perfect line.
I think I'm running out of time. I need a mira-miracle, a mira-miracle.
Yeah, I'm losing my mind, counting seconds passing by. I need a mira-miracle, a mira-miracle. A miracle. Just got the green light. (SINGING) Whoa, oh oh oh.
Whoa, oh, oh oh. I need a mira-miracle, a mira-miracle. Never goes the way that you planned, success is a door that always slams. I'm trying to break it. I'm trying to break it.
Searching for words and praying for signs, I struggle to find the rhythm and rhyme. Don't know how to say it. Don't know how to say I'm minutes away from going insane.
(SINGING) I'm on top of the world. I been waiting for this all my life.
Good things never come to those who wait in line. Oh my gosh. This is crazy! Woo! (SINGING) I was afraid of heights until I learned to fly.
And now I'm staring at the ground from way up high. Oh, he's flipping! Going upside down! (SINGING) I been waiting for this all my life. Good things never come to those who wait in line.
I been breaking these walls in mind. I want my mom! (SINGING) I'm on top of the world. I'm on top of the world. I'm on top of the world.
This is the best experience of my life! (SINGING) I been waiting for this all my life. Good things never come to those who wait in line. I been breaking these walls in my mind. I'm on top of the world.
Woo! Holy smokes! That was insane! That was 50 times crazier more intense than I ever even could have dreamed or thought of.
Cannot wait to tell the guys.
I can't even. I'm still, like-- just the adrenaline is just coursing through me. (SINGING) With every start, we are born again. For the Purple Hoser vehicle, I proudly present the party bus. I'm kidding, guys.
It is my transportation to my vehicle bucket list. I'm not going to give it away now, but you're going be pumped. See you guys in a little bit. Couple of reasons I chose this. Low to the ground.
Can't penetrate it. Heard Cody's getting on like a biplane, had to sign his life away. Out on that. I feel like I'm pretty safe in this bad boy. So that's why I chose it.
How's it going man? What's up, buddy? How's it going? Thanks for having us. Pleasure.
Well tell us a little bit about this bad boy here.
Ever been in combat? Sure has. So this is an M4 Sherman tank, World War II. We saw a little bit of combat in France.
In fact, if you walk around the side there, you'll see four rounds penetrated the turret A couple of reasons I chose this. Can't penetrate it. Wow. What's top speed of this bad boy? This one's going to be about 30.
So if I pulled into a gas station, how much am I looking to fill this bad boy up? Several hundred dollars, at least.
Yeah. My truck's 100 right now, so-- What about shooting out of this bad boy? What kind of shell does it take?
So this one's going to be a 75 millimeter. And we're going to be able to shoot it? We are. Let's get in this bad boy. Let's do it, man.
How did you get in this thing? Tank life is the luxurious life. Drive shaft right there. Your two handles to steer. Turn left, pull this back.
Turn right, pull that back. Brake, pull them both back. All right let's start her up. Company-L is moving tanks in from the east. This is sick!
Let's go take down these bogies. Here we go! Oh, wow, we've got fire. We got enemy fire. Oh, that was epic.
All right, man. So this is the Tank round, 76 millimeter. That's hefty. Oh yeah. So if I like, maybe accidentally shot this through my house, what would happen?
Probably just blow through the wall, all your furniture, then the other wall.
Keep on flying. Oh. It's actually probably repairable. All right, let's go shoot this thing.
Let's do it. Dude, this thing is sick. Got the 76 millimeter main gun on the Sherman. It's now live, so why don't you go ahead and step on it and send it. I'm locked in on the blue target.
So basically just aim and fire. That's all you. Oh. That was a lot louder than I expected. All right.
Need to work on my accuracy with the old tank gunner here.
Not very good. Well, you're a pretty good tank driver, and we have some stuff we could crush so why don't we go do that? (SCREAMING) Ahhhh! No more RV.
That was insane. All right, man, I think we finally got the enemy we were looking for all day. I think you got him, man. We did miss the car. That was unfortunate.
And that thing's just still sitting pretty down there. This was an absolute blast, highly recommend it. I got to head to the airport.
Today is an exciting day. I'm about to hop in a car to go 200 miles an hour with Mario Andretti.
As one of only two drivers to have won races in Formula 1, IndyCar, and NASCAR, Mario Andretti is a racing legend. His name is synonymous with speed. I would say I'm mostly excited, and I'm definitely a little bit nervous. The speed is scary. The fact that the greatest racer of all time is the one driving me makes me feel a lot better.
Yesterday, I got to watch the Indy 500 and help kick off the race.
Drivers, to your car! Nice. Did not see that coming. Today, I get to experience the speed for myself.
I'm hyped right now. This is going to be freaking sick. What's the fastest you've ever been in a car? Well, I drive a Tahoe, so-- In your Tahoe, you've driven maybe 60, 70, 80, you'll be going more than twice as fast. Oh my gosh.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am here today with the legend himself, Mario Andretti, the King of Racing. This is a huge pleasure, a real honor. I'm very nervous. As you can see, I'm shaking a little bit. We're going to be going somewhere in the ballpark of 200 plus miles an hour.
200-300. 200-300. OK, that's news to me. Well, like I said, just prepare yourself and say a little prayer. And then hang on.
You excited, my man? I'm stoked! Oh, you're going to love it! This is insane! What do I do with my hands?
Oh, this is the most excited I've ever been. Oh my gosh! That is insane! How was it, my man? That's amazing.
Not to bad, right? Oh, my goodness, Mario! Oh! My heart is pounding! The coolest thing I have ever done.
The straight-ways, you feel like you're physically on a rocket. And the turns, they don't feel physically possible. It does not feel like you're going to be able to get around. I know that all the other guys are getting do really cool things, but I am super grateful that mine was this. The single coolest thing I've ever done.
What's up, guys? Cory here in Lake Tahoe, one of the most beautiful places in all of America. What makes this trip even better is that I get to drive my bucket list vehicle, the Seabreacher! I'm here with Rob, the creator and master of all things Seabreacher. Rob, how are you doing?
What's up, Cory? Good to have you here. Good to be here, guys. It has been my dream ever since I saw this bad boy on the internet to drive a Seabreacher.
I am telling you guys.
These things are special. They're not just special. They're rad. Yeah. So, these ones are all custom built.
No two are exactly the same. We do different themes-- sharks, dolphins, whales, sports cars, fighter jets. This one is an '80s themed boat. Yeah, we're going to take you out, show you what they do. I'm in.
I'm ready. Oh, my gosh. I love it already. All right Rob, for a second here, let's talk about this bad boy. So here's how it works.
My pedals are kind of like my two dimensional, right? I can turn left with my left pedal. And then when it comes to three dimensional, that's these handles right here. If I go left, I roll to the left. If I go right, I roll to the right.
So now what we're going to do is give it a little bit of power, and just get used to it.
There you go. Faster. Oh, wow. There you go.
Right pedal, right pedal. You can't see anything. (SINGING) Sun on your skin, feel the love sinking in. Woo hoo!
. That was it. Guys, that was my very first mini-breach, it means I broke the water. Very small breach. Nothing to write home about, but I did it.
All right, you got to walk before you run. There you go, keep going, more power. That's it. This is so sick! I get it now.
I love it. I want it. Go, go, go, go, go! Oh, yes, yes, yes! That's a good one.
Guys, this is not a jet ski. This is way cooler. The only thing I can say is it feels like you are a dolphin. It feels like you are a shark. It's so cool.
I haven't gotten the mega jump yet, but it's coming.
It's coming. Hey guys, I'm driving a shark. Now that was a jump. Yeah, baby!
Oh, Rob, that is unbelievable. You did great. You want to try a barrel roll? Dude, I would try a barrel roll. Little bit faster this time.
Woo! Oh I feel like I'm in Star fox. Guys, 100% worthy of my Bucket List. The Seabreacher is unbelievable. I hope seeing it on camera did it justice.
That was the most fun thing I've ever done. That was unreal. Boys! How were the vehicles? Pretty epic.
How was the wing walking? Dude, I'm alive. OK. And this is the finale of Bucket List. It is almost monster truck time.
Not going lie, a little nervous. Yeah, you should be. But Cody walked on a wing of an airplane. If he can do that, I can drive a monster truck! Let's go!
A couple of real basic things for everybody to know. If the truck were to break down, catch on fire, roll over, any of those things, there's going to be fire, EMS, and a loader all headed to the truck. Did you know it was going to be this big? I mean, worst case scenario, I come up, land short, back tires hit, and then we're just front flipping all the way across. You nervous?
| wasn't nervous till I realized that I have fake headlights. So if it gets dark out here, we're in trouble.
It's a climb to get in this bad boy. Cockpit's tight. I can't see a whole lot other than right here in front of me.
Gas pedal. Brake. Don't push on the brake pedal. You tap the brakes, you're going all the way over. All gas, no brakes.
Except when you're landing. Then no gas, or no brakes. It's a lot of work to drive a monster truck. It's a lot of prep, kind of like grilling ribs. You know, just takes a little time.
So are you doing the big jump? It feels doable. Also feels like it could go bad. But we're cooking ribs, you know? And when you're cooking ribs, you don't stop halfway through the process.
Even if they're a little chewy. It's not easy being a monster truck driver. It's got its challenges. Make some noise for Tyler Toney! Is he going to do it?
Wow! Nice. This is his first time, folks. Here we go.
I think he's going for it.
Come on, Ty! Hit the big one. Let's go! Oh, guys. That could not have gone better.
Thank you to the people of Tennessee. Wouldn't have wanted to share it with anybody else. Guys, comment below. Let us know what you want to see next. Vehicle Bucket List is officially in the books.
Love you, guys. Pound it. And noggin. See you.

Building a Productive Daily Routine + time management
Building a Productive Daily Routine + time management
Hello friends! On today's video I will be sharing how I plan my days, weeks and months with the analog part of my planning system. We will have a look at the ¨Flexible Time Blocking System¨, how I use the ¨Pomodoro Technique¨ and the ¨20-20-20 rule¨, my positive feedback system and also some final notes on planning. It seems like a lot, but we will tackle it all. I have already shared part one and part two of this video series, where I showed you the other 50% of how I plan and schedule my day.
So, without a further ado, let's get started with the last and final part. To make a bit of a recap of a quick my digital planning system, I have a table in ¨Notion¨ with different columns, where I have my tasks ranked in importance.
I have one main task of the day, which I give priority to, two goals and a column for other tasks. Lastly, I have a column for ¨completed tasks¨ where I migrate the tasks that I have already completed. But my planning does not end there.
I complement this table with something that allows me to be realistic and not over optimistic when planning. The reason for this is that, when planning, I tend to overpack my days with a big list, only to feel extremely disappointed once the day ends. How many times have you felt frustrated because it seems that you haven't done much in your day? Well, this can become a probable scenario for me if I do not use something to keep me down to Earth. And that is why the analog part of my planning system is useful for me.
I call this part of the system ¨flexible time blocking¨, but I know that it is also known as ¨window blocking¨. Scheduling every single minute of my day does not work for me at all. It stresses me out and makes me inflexible towards unexpected things that might happen. But at the same time, only having a to-do list makes me extremely optimistic, and I end up believing that I can accomplish more than I actually can in a given day.
So by having a bit of a reference of the actual hours that I can use in a day, I am able to plan a bit more realistically.
For this, I use blocks of time where I focus on specific tasks. I combine this with the ¨Pomodoro technique¨: 25 minutes of work, 5 minutes of rest time. Once I complete one ¨Pomodoro¨ I make a little asterisk in my page.
I try to complete as many ¨Pomodoros¨ as possible within that window of time. I do not always completely finish the task, but I make sure to make progress in it.
For instance, on this particular day I wanted to read and summarize 3 chapters. They were long and full of information, so I could only manage to finish two of them. If I hadn´t marked the little asterisk that shows me how much I have worked on the task, I would have probably felt disappointed, because I could not cross out the task entirely, since it is not fully finished. Instead, I feel great, because I know that I have focused for many ¨Pomodoros¨ and have done my best. I feel that time blocking allows me to be more conscious about the time that I actually do have.
FLEXIBLE TIME BLOCKING Bear in mind that you must adjust this to your personal circumstance. If you work, let's say a 9-5 or 9-6 job, or you have online classes or courses that are at specific times during your week, just mark that time out of your planner.
In this way, you can be a lot more realistic about the time that you have in a day and what you can accomplish in it. For instance, I might be starting a remote full time job in a company, and when If do so, I will mark all the working hours so as to have a realistic look at what my week looks like. The system will be pretty much the same, but I will have a lot less time .
Being overoptimistic when planning, and being unrealistic about the actual time that it takes to complete things has been one of the most disappointing things for me. At the end of the day, if I overpack my to-do list, and see a lot of incomplete things, I feel like a big failure. Instead, I count the little asterisks that equal 25 minutes and I can write down how much time I have worked for and I really like the feeling of reward that I get by doing this.
In opinion, it is good to have a daily, a weekly and a monthly planning scheme. For daily things I use both notion and my paper space.
For weekly goals and chores I have a separate column in notion. And for monthly things I have my agenda or this simple paper calendar which allows me to have a glance at the hole month. This really helps me t have a better idea of how many days I have left until certain important dates. For instance, I have marked the days in which I have to give in the assignments for my course, so that I am aware of them and can calmly work on them before they become ¨Urgent and important tasks¨ For this, you could also use something digital such as Google Calendar. I use the agenda because I happen to have it, but I would probably use google calendars or a monthly calendar in a page instead.
It is important to have in mind when you have important things coming up, to prepare in advance and reduce stress. You can draw a super simple calendar and have it within hands reach. You can also cross each day to have an accurate idea of the days left until your next assignment, test or important work related things that you have. POMODORO TECHNIQUE For the convenience I use the 25 minute, 5 minute rest ¨Pomodoro¨ with the online timer called ¨Tomato timer¨. I have been quite concerned about the health of my eyes.
I heard a specialist recommend the 20-20-20 rule. Basically, every 20 minutes, you should stare at something that is 20 meters away from you for 20 seconds. Our eyes get irritated when we look at things too close to us, and they rest when staring at things far away. Moreover, when staring at screens we diminish the amount of times that we blink per minute, so our eyes get dry. On every pause, I try to follow the 20-20-20 rule.
If possible I also try to stand up for some movement and stretch a bit.
In the pause I might fetch a cup of tea, go to the toilet, walk a bit, play with my dog or do absolutely nothing. And then the ¨Pomodoro¨ starts again, and it is time to get back to work. Another thing that I use in my planning system is positive feedback and reward. In my digital planning table there is a column for completed tasks, where I migrate all of the tasks that I have completed.
At the end of the day it is extremely rewarding to see what I have managed to accomplish. If I have tasks that I haven't completed and are still relevant, I just put the back in the weekly goals list I like this because if I don't see what I have accomplished, my perfectionist mind tends to think that I am one irresponsible person that is not able to accomplish or do anything. Another thing that really motivates me to write down the little asterisks when I complete a 25 minute ¨pomodoro¨. I love to go back to my agenda and see how much I have been able to study or work for.
It is helping me to change my mentality around my own productivity, and to see that I do put a lot of work into things.
Sometimes, I cannot cross out a list, because I still need to work on it the next day, but I know that I did my best in that day, and it is enough for me. This is a time for me to make a small reflection of the day, have a look at what worked, the progress I did, If I got distracted, if I can change anything or improve it and so on. Also, I generally plan things in the night so that I don't waste any time the next morning. And once I wake up, I can start working right away. FINAL NOTES Remember the most important thing: you can have the absolute best, most efficient time planning method and still not accomplish much.
The planning system is important, but it is more important to get into action. Don't spend all your time trying to maximize efficiency instead of actually doing the things you have to do. In my experience, I have lost countless hours designing perfect time scheduling plans, which was a way for me to procrastinate. Instead, I am trying to focus less on the system, and focus more on the doing. Sounds simple, but it is easier said than done (specially if you are like me and you like to imagine scenarios, and plans, and efficient systems, and stuff like that.
). If you work a bit everyday on the things that matter to you, they will add up as compound interest. Even if it doesn seem that you are doing much on a particular day, the sum of the efforts of the week will make you accomplish things. This is one of the best lessons I learned with the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, which I must always recommend.
Many of you think that this system takes a long time to use on a daily basis.
There were many comments about this. I really doesn't take me much to do it. I would say, 10 minutes on Monday or Sunday (to plan the skeleton of the week in the agenda, and the "weekly goals" in Notion). 5 minutes every night + random minutes in the day whenever I need to list a new task. (the calendar is done once a month, so I do not really count it, but it takes me around 10 min to make it) Another note: Can you have the complete planning system in the digital format, or vice versa, everything in paper?
Of course you can. But I prefer the flexibility of the digital part, and the accessibility of the paper part. I like the combination, and feel that works well for me. Also, you can write things down in pencil, for maximum tidiness and flexibility in case you need to change things in your weekly plan. Because if you remember video number one of this planning system, things will happen, unexpected things will pop-up and you will have to be flexible and adjust your plans as you go.
I also feel that there are several ways in which you can make your time blocking schedule. There is no need for you to get any fancy agenda or anything. I have this one, with the timed columns, because it was given to my mum as advertising. (I will be painting the covers soon haha). But you can use any paper sheet and put the hours of the day.
Another way that I like to use this is by just writing down the periods of time in which you want to do something, and putting the asterisks next to that. the idea is not to have a rigid plan of the day, or to plan ever single second of it. This is to be more realistic and not to over-schedule, because we take into account the actual hours that we have available in a day. It helps me not to be stressing out and not to end the day in disappointment :) There are some days in which I like to plan in the agenda with every single hour of the day, while others I grab a simple notebook and make a list.
It just depends on my mood.
Hope you liked this video. I feel I might have made the system look complicated, but actually it is so simple! Please tell me if you do anything similar or if you think you could try out any of this. I love to read you in the comment section and it alyas makes me happy to read how you are doing and to read all the lovely comments that your leave. Also, there is a part one to this planning series, where I have shared the three main principles that help me to plan my day and part two where I have dived deep in the digital part of my planning systems.
Those videos really complement this one, so make sure to watch them. I will have the link down below for them, or you can just click in the card in the right top corner. If you liked the video, do not forget to hit the subscribe button and the bell, because if not, youtube won't tell you about my upcoming videos. Also, you can follow me on Instagram where I share snippets of my life and also some daily reflections. That is just a fun space where you can find me at.
If you want to make a contribution to my content, to help me keep creating, you can become a Patreon friend. There is a small donation fee which goes to what I call my tip jar, to help me keep creating and make more videos.
Until next time, and please “stay simple”!. https://elacmoneybasy.es//acn5

I love to go back to my agenda and see how much I have been able to study or work for.
It is helping me to change my mentality around my own productivity, and to see that I do put a lot of work into things.
Sometimes, I cannot cross out a list, because I still need to work on it the next day, but I know that I did my best in that day, and it is enough for me. This is a time for me to make a small reflection of the day, have a look at what worked, the progress I did, If I got distracted, if I can change anything or improve it and so on. Also, I generally plan things in the night so that I don't waste any time the next morning. And once I wake up, I can start working right away. FINAL NOTES Remember the most important thing: you can have the absolute best, most efficient time planning method and still not accomplish much.
The planning system is important, but it is more important to get into action. Don't spend all your time trying to maximize efficiency instead of actually doing the things you have to do. In my experience, I have lost countless hours designing perfect time scheduling plans, which was a way for me to procrastinate. Instead, I am trying to focus less on the system, and focus more on the doing. Sounds simple, but it is easier said than done (specially if you are like me and you like to imagine scenarios, and plans, and efficient systems, and stuff like that.
). If you work a bit everyday on the things that matter to you, they will add up as compound interest. Even if it doesn seem that you are doing much on a particular day, the sum of the efforts of the week will make you accomplish things. This is one of the best lessons I learned with the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, which I must always recommend.
Many of you think that this system takes a long time to use on a daily basis.
There were many comments about this. I really doesn't take me much to do it. I would say, 10 minutes on Monday or Sunday (to plan the skeleton of the week in the agenda, and the "weekly goals" in Notion). 5 minutes every night + random minutes in the day whenever I need to list a new task. (the calendar is done once a month, so I do not really count it, but it takes me around 10 min to make it) Another note: Can you have the complete planning system in the digital format, or vice versa, everything in paper?
Of course you can. But I prefer the flexibility of the digital part, and the accessibility of the paper part. I like the combination, and feel that works well for me. Also, you can write things down in pencil, for maximum tidiness and flexibility in case you need to change things in your weekly plan. Because if you remember video number one of this planning system, things will happen, unexpected things will pop-up and you will have to be flexible and adjust your plans as you go.
I also feel that there are several ways in which you can make your time blocking schedule. There is no need for you to get any fancy agenda or anything. I have this one, with the timed columns, because it was given to my mum as advertising. (I will be painting the covers soon haha). But you can use any paper sheet and put the hours of the day.
Another way that I like to use this is by just writing down the periods of time in which you want to do something, and putting the asterisks next to that. the idea is not to have a rigid plan of the day, or to plan ever single second of it. This is to be more realistic and not to over-schedule, because we take into account the actual hours that we have available in a day. It helps me not to be stressing out and not to end the day in disappointment :) There are some days in which I like to plan in the agenda with every single hour of the day, while others I grab a simple notebook and make a list.
It just depends on my mood.
Hope you liked this video. I feel I might have made the system look complicated, but actually it is so simple! Please tell me if you do anything similar or if you think you could try out any of this. I love to read you in the comment section and it alyas makes me happy to read how you are doing and to read all the lovely comments that your leave. Also, there is a part one to this planning series, where I have shared the three main principles that help me to plan my day and part two where I have dived deep in the digital part of my planning systems.
Those videos really complement this one, so make sure to watch them. I will have the link down below for them, or you can just click in the card in the right top corner.

EVE Online - Official Gameplay Trailer - Play Free!
EVE Online - Official Gameplay Trailer - Play Free!
EVE Online is a vast universe, alive with the unrelenting activity and combined history of its players. Pursuing lives of adventure, warfare and prosperity, they share this existence in the biggest single-shard free-to-play MMO of all time. Set 21,000 years in the future, EVE takes place in a distant cluster of over 7,000-star systems known as New Eden. It is a rich and diverse universe, featuring densely-populated havens of relative safety governed by four great Empires, hostile systems where player alliances make the rules, even regions of anomalous and unexplored space that hold their own secrets.
You play as a capsuleer, a revered breed of highly-trained pilot, having achieved immortality through the use of cloning technology.
You navigate the universe encased in an armored capsule deep within your ship, where you have complete neural control and function as one. There are hundreds of ships to fly in EVE. Everything from small nimble craft and versatile mid-range vessels, to formidable warships and colossal freighters. Each has advantages and suited roles, but all are completely customizable as you decide how to equip and arm them. What you do in New Eden is entirely up to you.
EVE’s immense sandbox gives you the opportunity to choose between multiple professions and activities.
The key to this unique customization of your playstyle is skill training. This is a passive process, and it continues whether you are in or out of the game. As a new player, you can focus on one specific area in order to quickly reach the same level of specialization as a veteran. So be adventurous and explore new avenues of development for your character, as you can always change role and reinvent yourself if desired.
If you want to fight, combat in EVE can involve solo missions against non-player adversaries or small group skirmishes, while for some, it can even be the thrill of fleeting up with thousands of fellow pilots and battling over disputed territory. If you want to explore, then the discovery of uncharted space and ancient regions that promise riches, danger and adventure await you. You can also engage in the business of prosperity, be it industry, mining or even interstellar piracy. The beauty of life in New Eden is that all of these activities, and many more, can be done alone or with others. A unique in-game market, unprecedented in scale and degree of player control, is the beating heart of New Eden.
Players are responsible for the manufacture of almost everything you can buy or sell. The gathering and refinement of resources, the building of ships, equipment and even some space stations - EVE’s players are core to how the universe is filled and how the economy thrives. Players in EVE can band together to form corporations where they can enrich their experience, learn new elements of gameplay, and share their wealth and goals. When these player-run corporations grow to become larger entities, they can merge with other corps to form alliances.
Powerful alliances regularly compete for control and influence over large areas of space, waging wars and engaging in record-breaking battles.
Even taking down well-defended, sprawling player-built space stations. In the spirit of exploration and mystery, new content and experiences are constantly introduced into the universe, with over a decade of free expansions leading to continual development and evolution of gameplay. While every action and decision has consequences for the universe and its hundreds of thousands of players, the game remains very much about your unique adventure and story. A story that will forever be woven into the fabric of EVE..

3 Free Tips To advertise Your Product For Free Online
3 Free Tips To advertise Your Product For Free Online
Hi, and thanks for watching. Now, if you're really making a killing on Facebook. Making a lot of sales, I don't think there's videos for you. However, if you need to get started, I want to share a couple of tips with you, especially if you don't have money to get started. First tip I want to share with you is go to my profile, scroll down.
Click on this. Purplish. All you need to know about Facebook, this is absolutely 100 percent free course, click on the image. You can click on the link, it will open up in a new window and you will end on a free course. It is absolutely 100 per cent free.
No bullshit. Now, while you're setting up your Facebook profile and you're waiting to get traction, which might take a month or two, perhaps even three, depending on how much time you spend on it, there's another way of getting traffic to your office.
Yes, I agree that there is warm traffic and there is called traffic. But in your instance, sending any traffic is better than sending no traffic. Let me just show you something on the calculator.
If you can send a thousand people to offer. And you can get only 10 percent of them to buy. That is a possible hundred cells now, let's say 10 percent is an extremely high number. Let's work on one percent, so 8000. One positive, it equals 10 possible sales.
So would you agree that if you beaconing to make sales seining, even if it is called traffic, is better than sending no traffic at all? If yes, let me show you how to do this. Go to a site called Easybeats for you, dot com. Open up your account, obviously, you need to verify your email address, log back into your account. And what you need to do is spend a little bit of time, not you would have to earn credit and one credit equals one customer to be sent to your office.
Now, I know you're thinking a thousand seems out of this world.
Let me just show you something a. If you take 1000 and you divide that by 30 days in the math. There is only three per day. Only 30 credits per day is fairly simple.
You have two options. Option number one is you can click on offers. There you have options to review websites. Five credits with for every one of you, so you actually need to do six, seven and you are covered for the day, all you need to do is click on the review. Give it a sec to load, you would be asked to review the website.
Scroll down and click on New Review and you can type in literally anything. Seems great. Ed, you reviewed. Five kids have been added. Simple as that option number two is you can start surfing.
They can start surfing. You will notice this green little bar running, that is how long you actually need to view the website.
Thanks a couple of seconds, but once the ball is completed. You will notice a little window popping up here and all that you need to do is look for two images that match and click on any one of them. I've earned one point five credits and the little bastards training automatically.
Simple as that. Once you've earned enough credits, just click on your account. Now, all that you need to do is go to Fenner's. And you can go to Canada, create yourself a free banner, or you can search on Google for a banner, the SARS's for six eight by 60, which you can then upload and you can just follow the instructions.
And by all means, if you get stuck, please reach out to me via messenger.
And I will gladly make you the short video on how this works. I don't want to take up too much of your time, and in this way you can send a thousand customers a month to your offer and possibly get a cell. Not my third and final tip. Is if you are beginning to get comments on your post. Most of the people that are on Facebook.
Or it may say more of the professional people on Facebook.
Once you've commented or taken the time to comment on one of the posts, you will notice that they will reach out and comment back on your post. Which is a great way of building relationships on Facebook and getting comments..

How To Create A Market For Your Product
How To Create A Market For Your Product
How to create a market for your product? Do you may have a product and you're like I need to create a market for it so there's 2 options. The first is to take the statistically proven 10-year grueling journey to create a market or just take the shortcut that I'm about to teach you inside this video. Let's dive in. Once upon a time, little Timmy wanted to start a product so he went he created a product and he put it out there and then he asked himself gee whiz.
Who should I sell to and then he failed in a blazing fireball because he thought that entrepreneurship was about luck, okay, and he's like who should I sell to and just exploded and failed. I used to think the same thing, that entrepreneurship was about luck and I have my product now, who should I sell it to is the biggest trap of brand new entrepreneurs. So, I'm going to teach you in here 3 quick ways to make sure that you actually have a place to sell to you, we have a group that you can go sell to once your product is done. All right step number 1, repeat after me because this is rule number 1, you do not create a market for your product, that is the kiss of death, all right, that's a kiss of death in all entrepreneurship.
You don't create a market for your product, the wrong order.
Everything has to do with order and I used to do the same thing, I did it out of order. I went through 34 product tries over 5 years. One of the reason, one of the core most reasons that they all failed was because I did it in the order of little Timmy, right? I created the product and I said who should I sell it to? If you're asking that question after the product is already done, you're probably not going to win, all right?
You're dead in the water, you're dead in the water, that is such a secondary small question to ask.
What you really should ask first is where is the market that I would like to sell into, right? This is a big, big mindset shift and it is again one of the major reasons why people fail so much. So once I figured out this whole thing, I went through 46 successes and we did 10 million in about 3 years and it was one of the most key pieces. I remember when I first began this game.
Again, I started, guys, it was honestly was so frustrating and you might be frustrated as well. You're like I have a product. right? If you're watching this right now you might, I have a product. I started creating the product and I put the product together and I put it out there and I remember I was in college.
One of the first big products I ever created was actually when I was in college and it was... it took me 8 months to build it. I was in college full-time, I was in the army, I was at kids, right, it was very it's busy, right?
It's busy and so I was spending from midnight to about 2 or 3 a.m. every day building my own product. I did that for 8 months and at the end of the 8 months I was like so excited. I was like doing the math on the back of the napkin, right?
If 1% buys and 1% of the 1% buys the upsell, what island will I buy? You know what I mean? I was like running the math in my head like, I only need this and we've all done it.
We've all done it what happened in reality though was that I went and I created the product, super good product. Super good product and the offer was awesome but I didn't find my market and how to create a market for the product that I have, wrong order, completely wrong order.
And so, I failed. I failed. Just like little Timmy, I exploded in a big ball of fire, right, and I was like man, this entrepreneurship game like some people just get lucky. It has nothing to do with luck, it has to do with the order that you answer the questions in and it took me a long time to realize that. Funny enough, one of those early.
That same was one of those early info products that I created, I went back and I rinsed it back up and I fixed it and I went backwards and I relaunched it several times but I asked the questions in a different order and it was one of my first, actually my 2nd million dollar product, okay? So it has to do with the order of the questions that you're asking, that's why I get so huffy puffy about this.
It's not how do I create a market for the product that I have? You already did, you already did and the reason is because you're not the one buying it.
You're not going buying it and so where did you get all the data for how to build that product? From your own head. Okay, now don't do this but I did this. My ex-wife and I, when we were going and having our first 3 beautiful little girls, oh my gosh, just so, so adorable. I'm a proud daddy and our first little one was on the way and I remember my ex-wife and I were in the hospital, she had to be induced and we're sitting there, nothing was happening yet, okay?
Nothing was happening yet however, I was texting Noah Keegan.
If you don't know Keegan, he is an influencer and he ha this thing. This is 9 years ago, 10 years, 9years ago and he had this thing, about 8 years ago, sorry. I had this thing where you could text him before he bought his product. And so I did what probably a lot of you are doing or have them.
I said Noah, I went and I've done all this. I'm so excited, I made this thing, there's a problem and I've solved the problem and it's an amazing product and I put it out there and do you think that I should...
Actually I hadn't built it yet but I was asking him.
I said do you think I should build a product now? Yeah, I said do you think this is a good idea and he goes I don't know. I said wait a second. I don't think you get this. I've done focus groups, man.
I'm going in, I've done all this stuff and it's like, I said do you think this is a good product idea? Do you think I should go out? Do you think I should actually pursue this thing and he goes I don't know and I was getting frustrated. It was nothing was happening, we were in the hospital, okay, one we had to wait a long time, I was sitting there and I texted me. Do you think I should do it?
He goes dude, I don't know. He said I let people vote with their wallets, not their mouths. I was like oh, I'm doing this wrong. I had asked, I had gotten past the thing where I realized I'm not the one buying it but I had also made the mistake of letting people say with their mouth not their wallet, yeah I'll buy that.
This is a key piece, this is one of the biggest reasons again a lot of entrepreneurs fail out of the gate.
It's because they first answered their own problems and second of all, they did not try to actually sell the idea, actually try to sell and collect money from the idea. There's so many entrepreneurs successful ones that talk about that this is how they do it, they'll actually collect real cash or they'll figure out ways to, right, and there's rules, there's laws on ways to different do this. I'm not your legal guy, okay, but the concept being try to actually sell the thing. Try to actually sell it and if no one opens up their wallet, don't go waste your time making the product. So, a lot of the more successful entrepreneurs out there, we all, we figure out the idea, of the offer in the product but then we go straight to sales message and we begin trying to sell or at least drum up those who open their wallets, right?
And then oh, you're ready? You're ready? You want a buy? You do? Cool.
It comes out 2 weeks. I'll be right back and we go make it okay super common on successful entrepreneurship caveat by those who actually have a lot of failure. All right guys before finally answering the entire prompt of this entire video, hey guys hit the subscribe button. Hit the like, hit the bell. Also like comment down below what is like the biggest crash and burn products you've ever put out there?
I'm sure that we all have a whole bunch of them. Entrepreneurs make a lot of products and a lot of offers. I have burnt on so many of them. What's your craziest one down below, also share this video. There are so many people who have this question.
This is a common new entrepreneurial question but it is very much the wrong order, right? So please share.
We'd love to actually help others as well. All right so rule number 1, remember you don't create a market. You got to figure that out before you even start building the product.
Second of all, listen to the dream customer. They're the ones that are actually figuring that out. The second thing, oh sorry, the 3rd thing, I can't count.
The third thing is let's actually talk about how you do the actual thing I'm talking about now, okay? How do you create or how do you find a marketplace to go sell to?
Again, solve that before you even start building the product but let's say that you did and let's say you're like Steve. I'm good. I'm ready to rock, here we are. How do you actually go do that? Let me just ask a quick question here.
How many of you like Black Friday? Thanksgivings come, the very next day there's I know in Canada it's called unboxing day, right, or boxing day. Steep crazy discounts, right? Huge, big, massive discounts. How many guys love Black Friday?
I will say that I hate Black Friday.
I want no part of it at all. It drives me crazy. I cringe every time. I'm like you want to go do Black Friday?
No. Would rather rub some salt in some wounds. I hate it. I can't stand that amount of crowd, that drives me nuts. I'm way more of an introvert than you probably think and so like, no.
Absolutely not. There's a point to that though. Some of you watching this right now, you do like Black Friday, that's great. Wait a second, so does that mean they shouldn't do Black Friday just because I don't like it, no. Guys, I want to touch on a really powerful principle right here that will really help you in your product creation opportunities and it's this.
Think about your dream customer and they're going to a marketplace to buy and sell, all right, some of them like to buy through Black Friday or let me change it. Some of them like to consume the sales message through Black Friday, some of them like to consume the sales message through email, how many is about something through email.
Some of them like to consume their sales message through phones, same message just using a phone. Someone like to use their sales message through content like this, right? How many has bought from one of my videos?
A lot of you have, okay? Some of you guys like to consume sales message through, through, through, through. What you're really doing after you have a product that's done is you're looking at the marketplace and you're asking all the people that go here, all right, how do they like to consume sales message? How do they like to consume and be pitched too, that's the big question and then you figure out what the top 2 or 3 ways are and then just do the same, right? Just do the exact same.
I will not buy through Black Friday but man, I buy through Instagram influencers personally. I buy through sometimes I buy through webinars, sometimes i buy through phone but I typically buy through emails the most and all of them are correct, all of them are correct. And so what you're going to do is you're going to look at the marketplace and ask what are all the ways that my dream customer is already saying this is where I pull my wallet out, this is how I pull my wallet out for that, Perfect but I like to pull it out for that, that's fine, right, and I rank them out and I'm like cool, those are the top 3 ways we're going to attract and approach and pitch my dream customer the product that is already done.
Does that make sense? This shortcuts a lot of the questions about how should I approach them, how should I sell to them so if your customer's not on freaking Clubhouse, don't go to Clubhouse.
It's a waste of your time. If they're not doing this or that, not doing phones, if not, then don't do those things. You actually get easier sales by approaching the dream customer in the ways they already open their wallet for. I got a free gift here for you.

How to create a market for your product? Do you may have a product and you're like I need to create a market for it so there's 2 options. The first is to take the statistically proven 10-year grueling journey to create a market or just take the shortcut that I'm about to teach you inside this video. Let's dive in. Once upon a time, little Timmy wanted to start a product so he went he created a product and he put it out there and then he asked himself gee whiz.
Who should I sell to and then he failed in a blazing fireball because he thought that entrepreneurship was about luck, okay, and he's like who should I sell to and just exploded and failed. I used to think the same thing, that entrepreneurship was about luck and I have my product now, who should I sell it to is the biggest trap of brand new entrepreneurs. So, I'm going to teach you in here 3 quick ways to make sure that you actually have a place to sell to you, we have a group that you can go sell to once your product is done. All right step number 1, repeat after me because this is rule number 1, you do not create a market for your product, that is the kiss of death, all right, that's a kiss of death in all entrepreneurship.
You don't create a market for your product, the wrong order.
Everything has to do with order and I used to do the same thing, I did it out of order. I went through 34 product tries over 5 years. One of the reason, one of the core most reasons that they all failed was because I did it in the order of little Timmy, right? I created the product and I said who should I sell it to? If you're asking that question after the product is already done, you're probably not going to win, all right?
You're dead in the water, you're dead in the water, that is such a secondary small question to ask.
What you really should ask first is where is the market that I would like to sell into, right? This is a big, big mindset shift and it is again one of the major reasons why people fail so much. So once I figured out this whole thing, I went through 46 successes and we did 10 million in about 3 years and it was one of the most key pieces. I remember when I first began this game.
Again, I started, guys, it was honestly was so frustrating and you might be frustrated as well. You're like I have a product. right? If you're watching this right now you might, I have a product. I started creating the product and I put the product together and I put it out there and I remember I was in college.
One of the first big products I ever created was actually when I was in college and it was... it took me 8 months to build it. I was in college full-time, I was in the army, I was at kids, right, it was very it's busy, right?
It's busy and so I was spending from midnight to about 2 or 3 a.m. every day building my own product. I did that for 8 months and at the end of the 8 months I was like so excited. I was like doing the math on the back of the napkin, right?
If 1% buys and 1% of the 1% buys the upsell, what island will I buy? You know what I mean? I was like running the math in my head like, I only need this and we've all done it.
We've all done it what happened in reality though was that I went and I created the product, super good product. Super good product and the offer was awesome but I didn't find my market and how to create a market for the product that I have, wrong order, completely wrong order.
And so, I failed. I failed. Just like little Timmy, I exploded in a big ball of fire, right, and I was like man, this entrepreneurship game like some people just get lucky. It has nothing to do with luck, it has to do with the order that you answer the questions in and it took me a long time to realize that. Funny enough, one of those early.
That same was one of those early info products that I created, I went back and I rinsed it back up and I fixed it and I went backwards and I relaunched it several times but I asked the questions in a different order and it was one of my first, actually my 2nd million dollar product, okay? So it has to do with the order of the questions that you're asking, that's why I get so huffy puffy about this.
It's not how do I create a market for the product that I have? You already did, you already did and the reason is because you're not the one buying it.
You're not going buying it and so where did you get all the data for how to build that product? From your own head. Okay, now don't do this but I did this. My ex-wife and I, when we were going and having our first 3 beautiful little girls, oh my gosh, just so, so adorable. I'm a proud daddy and our first little one was on the way and I remember my ex-wife and I were in the hospital, she had to be induced and we're sitting there, nothing was happening yet, okay?
Nothing was happening yet however, I was texting Noah Keegan.
If you don't know Keegan, he is an influencer and he ha this thing. This is 9 years ago, 10 years, 9years ago and he had this thing, about 8 years ago, sorry. I had this thing where you could text him before he bought his product. And so I did what probably a lot of you are doing or have them.
I said Noah, I went and I've done all this. I'm so excited, I made this thing, there's a problem and I've solved the problem and it's an amazing product and I put it out there and do you think that I should...
Actually I hadn't built it yet but I was asking him.
I said do you think I should build a product now? Yeah, I said do you think this is a good idea and he goes I don't know. I said wait a second. I don't think you get this. I've done focus groups, man.
I'm going in, I've done all this stuff and it's like, I said do you think this is a good product idea? Do you think I should go out? Do you think I should actually pursue this thing and he goes I don't know and I was getting frustrated. It was nothing was happening, we were in the hospital, okay, one we had to wait a long time, I was sitting there and I texted me. Do you think I should do it?
He goes dude, I don't know. He said I let people vote with their wallets, not their mouths. I was like oh, I'm doing this wrong. I had asked, I had gotten past the thing where I realized I'm not the one buying it but I had also made the mistake of letting people say with their mouth not their wallet, yeah I'll buy that.
This is a key piece, this is one of the biggest reasons again a lot of entrepreneurs fail out of the gate.
It's because they first answered their own problems and second of all, they did not try to actually sell the idea, actually try to sell and collect money from the idea. There's so many entrepreneurs successful ones that talk about that this is how they do it, they'll actually collect real cash or they'll figure out ways to, right, and there's rules, there's laws on ways to different do this. I'm not your legal guy, okay, but the concept being try to actually sell the thing. Try to actually sell it and if no one opens up their wallet, don't go waste your time making the product. So, a lot of the more successful entrepreneurs out there, we all, we figure out the idea, of the offer in the product but then we go straight to sales message and we begin trying to sell or at least drum up those who open their wallets, right?
And then oh, you're ready? You're ready? You want a buy? You do? Cool.
It comes out 2 weeks. I'll be right back and we go make it okay super common on successful entrepreneurship caveat by those who actually have a lot of failure. All right guys before finally answering the entire prompt of this entire video, hey guys hit the subscribe button. Hit the like, hit the bell. Also like comment down below what is like the biggest crash and burn products you've ever put out there?
I'm sure that we all have a whole bunch of them. Entrepreneurs make a lot of products and a lot of offers. I have burnt on so many of them. What's your craziest one down below, also share this video. There are so many people who have this question.
This is a common new entrepreneurial question but it is very much the wrong order, right? So please share.
We'd love to actually help others as well. All right so rule number 1, remember you don't create a market. You got to figure that out before you even start building the product.
Second of all, listen to the dream customer. They're the ones that are actually figuring that out. The second thing, oh sorry, the 3rd thing, I can't count.
The third thing is let's actually talk about how you do the actual thing I'm talking about now, okay? How do you create or how do you find a marketplace to go sell to?
Again, solve that before you even start building the product but let's say that you did and let's say you're like Steve. I'm good. I'm ready to rock, here we are. How do you actually go do that? Let me just ask a quick question here.
How many of you like Black Friday? Thanksgivings come, the very next day there's I know in Canada it's called unboxing day, right, or boxing day. Steep crazy discounts, right? Huge, big, massive discounts. How many guys love Black Friday?
I will say that I hate Black Friday.
I want no part of it at all. It drives me crazy. I cringe every time. I'm like you want to go do Black Friday?
No. Would rather rub some salt in some wounds. I hate it. I can't stand that amount of crowd, that drives me nuts. I'm way more of an introvert than you probably think and so like, no.
Absolutely not. There's a point to that though. Some of you watching this right now, you do like Black Friday, that's great. Wait a second, so does that mean they shouldn't do Black Friday just because I don't like it, no. Guys, I want to touch on a really powerful principle right here that will really help you in your product creation opportunities and it's this.
Think about your dream customer and they're going to a marketplace to buy and sell, all right, some of them like to buy through Black Friday or let me change it. Some of them like to consume the sales message through Black Friday, some of them like to consume the sales message through email, how many is about something through email.
Some of them like to consume their sales message through phones, same message just using a phone. Someone like to use their sales message through content like this, right? How many has bought from one of my videos?
A lot of you have, okay? Some of you guys like to consume sales message through, through, through, through. What you're really doing after you have a product that's done is you're looking at the marketplace and you're asking all the people that go here, all right, how do they like to consume sales message? How do they like to consume and be pitched too, that's the big question and then you figure out what the top 2 or 3 ways are and then just do the same, right? Just do the exact same.
I will not buy through Black Friday but man, I buy through Instagram influencers personally. I buy through sometimes I buy through webinars, sometimes i buy through phone but I typically buy through emails the most and all of them are correct, all of them are correct. And so what you're going to do is you're going to look at the marketplace and ask what are all the ways that my dream customer is already saying this is where I pull my wallet out, this is how I pull my wallet out for that, Perfect but I like to pull it out for that, that's fine, right, and I rank them out and I'm like cool, those are the top 3 ways we're going to attract and approach and pitch my dream customer the product that is already done.
Does that make sense? This shortcuts a lot of the questions about how should I approach them, how should I sell to them so if your customer's not on freaking Clubhouse, don't go to Clubhouse.
It's a waste of your time. If they're not doing this or that, not doing phones, if not, then don't do those things. You actually get easier sales by approaching the dream customer in the ways they already open their wallet for. I got a free gift here for you.

How Firms Commercialize Their Products: How to Bring Your Product To Market
How Firms Commercialize Their Products: How to Bring Your Product To Market
Hey there, fellow marketers, Professor Wolters here. And today we're going to continue our conversation about new product development. And today what we're going to focus on is the commercialization of our new product. Because we've already developed this product, we figured out what our customers want. We developed a perfect little product or service they're really going to desire.
And now we have to figure out is, how are we going to commercialize it? How are we going to get it onto the market? Where are we going to sell it? All these kind of things, really putting together the four P's. Finally, like together, because we've got the first P, we've got that new product.
But now we have to think about the prices, the place where we're going to sell it. How we're going to promote it and things like that. Because when you think about it, what we really have to start thinking about is when. When are we going to put this product on the market? And the thing you have to realize, is your market that you're selling to, a lot of times will dictate when you release your product.
For example, if I'm going to re- releasing, you know, a water bottle for the beach, right? Well, if I'm going to do this, am I going to release it in December, when it's cold, and no one's thinking about hot weather and taking anything to the beach? Of course not, I'm going to release it closer to the summertime, right? Or if you think about it in terms of game consoles, right? They don't release them, you know, it usually in the spring or in January.
They release it before the holidays, because that's when parents are willing to spend a lot more money to buy them a $500 gaming system. Because you know, you might get that, or Santa might get that for a kid for for the holidays.
But might not get them for a random Tuesday in January, not a really big day. So we have to think about these things. And you think about, with a gaming consoles.
Have you ever noticed, it's about every six years, you get like a new PlayStation, or a new Xbox. And when a new PlayStation comes out, you know that new Xbox is gonna come out about the same time or another Nintendo is going to come out at about the same time. Because they know we have kind of like a generational thing. We need to all be coming out about the same time.
And so if another company, let's say I don't know, Apple wants to come out with a console gaming system.
They're not going to come out with it in the middle of the cycle. They're going to come out when people are ready to buy a new console, after a few years. So you kind of plan those things out. And that's one thing you really have to consider when you're thinking about that when. When is my market going to be ready to buy this?
Okay, so you might think about that in terms of movies. When do the big movies come out? In the summer, you have your summer, tentpole movies. Why, well, you have all these kids that aren't in school, right? And so that's when they're out, they need something to do.
Parents don't have time to stay with their kids all the time. Let's throw them out an Avengers movie, let's throw them out a sci-fi movie. Let them stay there for three hours, so we can clean the house. You know, you have to think about these things.
So really, the when, when we're starting to think about commercialization really is dictated by a lot of factors that you do have to consider.
And then next, I think W word you need to ask yourself is where. Where are we going to launch it first? So you might look at it in terms of this way. Where are we going to launch it in terms of, where is that target market going to be? Right, so if our target market is buying gaming consoles at Best Buy, we need to be at Best Buy.
Or if people are buying their gaming consoles online, we need to have an online presence and sell it there. Because you really have to think about is where's our audience going to be buying stuff? Where are they deciding? That's where we need to be in order to get that target market. Because we're really trying to do is find out is how can we deliver the most value to that customer.
And in terms of that where, it's going to be what what delivers me the most value? It's where I buy it, right? And so we have to think about those things. That's why we do so much marketing research and market research in general when we are developing a new product. Because it's not just making a new product.
It's also figuring out where we're gonna put it, okay? Now the next step I want to talk about is what we call the rollout. Which is kind of like a timing thing, but also a where. It's that where and when kind of thing put together. Because we have to figure out and roll out, which stores are going to get our products first?
Which regions are going to get our products first? See I've lived all over the world.
And I remember you know, I'd be here in the US and the new Nintendo 64 is out this October, I'm like, "Great." And then I moved to Europe in September, and I'm thinking, "Oh, in October, I'm going to get it." No, no, no, it didn't come out till the next spring in Europe.
I'm like, what-what happened? Well, Nintendo looked at and said, "Wait, who are our biggest markets?" Who should get these first? Because we don't want people not to be able to get it.
So they released it in the US and Japan first.
And then a few months later, it was released in Europe. And a few months later after that, it was released in South America. You have this kind of idea of, where am I going to roll it out first, okay? And so you'll see companies do that where, you know, they'll test market in different areas to kind of see what works first. If works there, we're going to go to more stores.
So like, when Burger King came out with their Impossible Whopper, it wasn't available everywhere at first. They rolled it out in certain stores, then in certain stores, and then it went nationwide. Okay, because you have to think about that. Where and when and who's going to go first, who's going to go second, who's going to go third? We have to think about those things.
And sometimes you'll see that with new mobile phones. Sometimes it first comes out, you know, only exclusively at AT&T. And then after six months, maybe it's at the other places, right? So we just try to think about these things out there.
And you kind of put that where and when and where and when together.
You got to think about those things when you are doing your commercializations of your product. And the thing is, it's not just the where and when. Because if you think about it, the where part really is that kind of place part of the four P's. 'Cause what we're really trying to figure out is, where should the product be initially sold. And things that might kind of really influence that as well.
You might look at in terms of, where we're going to sell, do they have delivery options? Or we might look at it in terms of, will they be able to handle the extra inventory that we need to have them in there? Because if we're going to have a big huge TV kind of thing, are we going to have space in a small store to sell it? No, we probably need to put it in the big box stores, like a Walmart or Best Buy or something like that.
Now another the four P's we have to focus on the commercialization is promotion.
A lot of times new products fail, because people don't know to even exist, right? And so we really have to think about is, where are all the places we need to promote our product? Yes, we need to promote it to that end customer that's going to get that benefit out there, right? So we gotta make them- make sure they know how good our product is, what the difference is, what makes it special, why it's gonna be perfect for them. But the thing is, it's not just about promoting your product to the end customer.
You also have to promote your product throughout the supply chain. You have to explain to Best Buy, why it would be a good idea to carry our game console. You have to explain to Cartoon Network, why would be good for us to have their-our commercials on their TV channels. You have to explain all the things out there. And you have to consider all that when you're looking at your promotions.
Because what you might end up doing is having trade promotions.
You know, you might have a slotting allowance. "Hey, Best Buy, we're gonna pay you to put one of our consoles at the front door, so people can see the new graphics and the new controllers and try things out." But we're gonna need to pay them to do that, right? We have to think about those things, with those slotting allowances.
Or maybe you do a trade allowance or an advertising allowance. "Hey, if you advertise our product, in your promo flyer, we'll sell it to you at a lower price. So you can get it- you can make more money in the end in your markups." Or other things you might think about in terms of promotion. You might have, you know, the promotional, you know, introductory pricing.
I mean, think about it, how many of you have signed up for cable, because the first month was $19.99, and then went skyrocketing prices after that? Well, we might think about that, those promotions, that goes into there.
I know that kind of ties in with pricing, because you do have to think about pricing when it comes to new products. You know, launching, right, and commercialization.
And we do have a video that goes into a lot of different new pricing or new product pricing kind of setup. So do watch that video to get some of the ideas of the specific kind of new price, new product pricing strategies that companies can use. But we do have to think about is what is going to be our manufacturer's suggested retail price.
Because we have to make sure that everybody in the supply chain is making money. Because if the delivery driver isn't making money, they're not going to deliver your products.
If the in store, you know, Best Buy's not going to make money selling your products, they're not going to carry it. And you got to make sure you're making money. You also got to make sure your customers are feeling like they're getting value out of these things for this new product.
So you really have to think about a lot of things when you're developing your pricing. And there are those slotting allowances, where it helps to figure out where it's going to place also could affect the pricing and stuff like that.
Because hey, if we're going to be paying for that stuff to be there, we got to factor that into our cost and our pricing development. So a lot of stuff you really have to consider. And the last little thing about the commercialization thing I'm going to talk about. I'm wanna kind of go back to the promotion side of things. And what a lot of people don't realize is when you're promoting your product throughout your supply chain.
Sometimes it's about finding new suppliers, new retailers, new ways to get your product out. So you might actually go to a lot of trade fairs just to talk about your product, so people know about these things. Because if you look back into history, people thought the Nintendo, you know, the Wii would be a failure. Right, like, oh, the graphics isn't very good. Nobody's gonna want this because they get a PlayStation that has way better graphics, where you can see the person's head fly off when you chop it off in-in Mortal Kombat.
And, and they don't even do that on the Wii, right, back in the day. But the thing is, when they went to the trade shows, and they were showing people how it works and stuff like that. It's like, hmm, you know what, this might just work. This is actually something that might work for everybody. Because sometimes seeing it in situ actually working can help your product sell better.
That's why when you go to the trade shows and show how it works, that might help it out. How many times have you gone to a Macy's or a Walmart or, or maybe your local grocery store, and they had the free samples kind of stuff, those kind of things? We had to think about that. Will that entice people to try that new product? So it's a lot of things you really have to think about when you're doing your commercialization of your products, okay?
And this is just touching the surface, right? You remember, make sure you're looking at the four P's when you're developing your commercialization.
Also the where and when you're going to sell these things. Stuff like that all comes together when you're looking to commercialize a new product. So I hope this helps you get an idea of how that commercialization phase of new product development kind of comes about.

I'm like, what-what happened? Well, Nintendo looked at and said, "Wait, who are our biggest markets?" Who should get these first? Because we don't want people not to be able to get it.
So they released it in the US and Japan first.
And then a few months later, it was released in Europe. And a few months later after that, it was released in South America. You have this kind of idea of, where am I going to roll it out first, okay? And so you'll see companies do that where, you know, they'll test market in different areas to kind of see what works first. If works there, we're going to go to more stores.
So like, when Burger King came out with their Impossible Whopper, it wasn't available everywhere at first. They rolled it out in certain stores, then in certain stores, and then it went nationwide. Okay, because you have to think about that. Where and when and who's going to go first, who's going to go second, who's going to go third? We have to think about those things.
And sometimes you'll see that with new mobile phones. Sometimes it first comes out, you know, only exclusively at AT&T. And then after six months, maybe it's at the other places, right? So we just try to think about these things out there.
And you kind of put that where and when and where and when together.
You got to think about those things when you are doing your commercializations of your product. And the thing is, it's not just the where and when. Because if you think about it, the where part really is that kind of place part of the four P's. 'Cause what we're really trying to figure out is, where should the product be initially sold. And things that might kind of really influence that as well.
You might look at in terms of, where we're going to sell, do they have delivery options? Or we might look at it in terms of, will they be able to handle the extra inventory that we need to have them in there? Because if we're going to have a big huge TV kind of thing, are we going to have space in a small store to sell it? No, we probably need to put it in the big box stores, like a Walmart or Best Buy or something like that.
Now another the four P's we have to focus on the commercialization is promotion.
A lot of times new products fail, because people don't know to even exist, right? And so we really have to think about is, where are all the places we need to promote our product? Yes, we need to promote it to that end customer that's going to get that benefit out there, right? So we gotta make them- make sure they know how good our product is, what the difference is, what makes it special, why it's gonna be perfect for them. But the thing is, it's not just about promoting your product to the end customer.
You also have to promote your product throughout the supply chain. You have to explain to Best Buy, why it would be a good idea to carry our game console. You have to explain to Cartoon Network, why would be good for us to have their-our commercials on their TV channels. You have to explain all the things out there. And you have to consider all that when you're looking at your promotions.
Because what you might end up doing is having trade promotions.
You know, you might have a slotting allowance. "Hey, Best Buy, we're gonna pay you to put one of our consoles at the front door, so people can see the new graphics and the new controllers and try things out." But we're gonna need to pay them to do that, right? We have to think about those things, with those slotting allowances.
Or maybe you do a trade allowance or an advertising allowance. "Hey, if you advertise our product, in your promo flyer, we'll sell it to you at a lower price. So you can get it- you can make more money in the end in your markups." Or other things you might think about in terms of promotion. You might have, you know, the promotional, you know, introductory pricing.
I mean, think about it, how many of you have signed up for cable, because the first month was $19.99, and then went skyrocketing prices after that? Well, we might think about that, those promotions, that goes into there.
I know that kind of ties in with pricing, because you do have to think about pricing when it comes to new products. You know, launching, right, and commercialization.
And we do have a video that goes into a lot of different new pricing or new product pricing kind of setup. So do watch that video to get some of the ideas of the specific kind of new price, new product pricing strategies that companies can use. But we do have to think about is what is going to be our manufacturer's suggested retail price.
Because we have to make sure that everybody in the supply chain is making money. Because if the delivery driver isn't making money, they're not going to deliver your products.
If the in store, you know, Best Buy's not going to make money selling your products, they're not going to carry it. And you got to make sure you're making money. You also got to make sure your customers are feeling like they're getting value out of these things for this new product.
So you really have to think about a lot of things when you're developing your pricing. And there are those slotting allowances, where it helps to figure out where it's going to place also could affect the pricing and stuff like that.
Because hey, if we're going to be paying for that stuff to be there, we got to factor that into our cost and our pricing development. So a lot of stuff you really have to consider. And the last little thing about the commercialization thing I'm going to talk about. I'm wanna kind of go back to the promotion side of things. And what a lot of people don't realize is when you're promoting your product throughout your supply chain.
Sometimes it's about finding new suppliers, new retailers, new ways to get your product out. So you might actually go to a lot of trade fairs just to talk about your product, so people know about these things. Because if you look back into history, people thought the Nintendo, you know, the Wii would be a failure. Right, like, oh, the graphics isn't very good. Nobody's gonna want this because they get a PlayStation that has way better graphics, where you can see the person's head fly off when you chop it off in-in Mortal Kombat.
And, and they don't even do that on the Wii, right, back in the day. But the thing is, when they went to the trade shows, and they were showing people how it works and stuff like that. It's like, hmm, you know what, this might just work. This is actually something that might work for everybody. Because sometimes seeing it in situ actually working can help your product sell better.
That's why when you go to the trade shows and show how it works, that might help it out. How many times have you gone to a Macy's or a Walmart or, or maybe your local grocery store, and they had the free samples kind of stuff, those kind of things? We had to think about that. Will that entice people to try that new product? So it's a lot of things you really have to think about when you're doing your commercialization of your products, okay?
And this is just touching the surface, right? You remember, make sure you're looking at the four P's when you're developing your commercialization.
Also the where and when you're going to sell these things. Stuff like that all comes together when you're looking to commercialize a new product. So I hope this helps you get an idea of how that commercialization phase of new product development kind of comes about.

The Best Marketing Strategy For A New Business Or Product
The Best Marketing Strategy For A New Business Or Product
- Hey, it's Rick Kettner here and in this video, we're gonna explore the best marketing strategy for promoting a new business or a new product. Essentially, we're gonna be looking at a simple method that you can use to choose and execute on the best marketing opportunities for your specific business. Now, this is a follow up to a previous video that I published on 33 ways to get more customers. You can find the link to that video in the description box below. And of course, if you're interested in learning more about how to build and grow your business, then I recommend that you subscribe to the channel and turn on notifications so you don't miss out on future videos.
But let's get into it. The number one reason why new businesses fail is that they don't attract enough customers. And the reality is a lot of businesses make it through the other stages like coming up with a brand name, coming up with a logo, even building out a basic product or service, but unfortunately, many of them fail when it comes to actually attracting prospects and converting those prospects into customers.
So that is the entire focus of this video. We're gonna be going through a simple four step framework called the bullseye framework.
This is from "Traction" by Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares. A really great book for startups that are looking to attract customers to their business. And this is a simple like I say, a four step process that you can use to attract customers. The very first step is to brainstorm marketing ideas. So what you wanna do here is you wanna go through all the different ways that you could possibly attract customers to your business, and you wanna come up with realistic scenarios for how you might execute on those opportunities.
Now, I mentioned earlier that I recently published a video covering 33 ways to get more customers. You can go through that video, that's 33 different marketing channels that are covered in that video. And the idea here, even though we're not gonna be pursuing all 33 channels at once, we'd be spreading ourselves way too thin.
The idea here is to come up with realistic scenarios for each and every one of them just as an exploratory process. So, for example, if you go down the list and you see content marketing, you wanna come up with a realistic scenario for how you might promote your business using content marketing.
What kinda articles could you create? What kinda videos? Would you create a podcast? You wanna explore exactly how you might pursue that opportunity if you absolutely had to. And then you wanna do the same as you go down the list with search advertising, social advertising, hosting live events.
You might consider, would you host a local meetup, a small meetup group with enthusiastic customers, or would you try to put on a big fancy event and invite other speakers? Whatever the marketing channel might be, the idea here is to simply explore the possibilities to reasonably brainstorm what you could do if you absolutely had to pursue the various different marketing opportunities that are out there.
And the reason why this is important is because oftentimes, businesses get stuck in a rut where they really only pursue marketing channels that all of their rivals are pursuing. So if you see another potential competitor using search advertising, you might be tempted to just say, "Okay, search advertising is the way "that you market this kinda business." And that really limits your options.
And unfortunately, when you follow that kinda strategy, you're actually playing into your competitor's strengths and you're pursuing a channel that is already gonna be competitive, right? So by its very definition, the most popular channels may not necessarily be the best opportunities.
Sometimes they are still, sometimes they aren't. So, that's the entire point of this first step is to actually explore what you might do if you had to pursue different channels in order to just flush them out and see what might be possible. Step number two is to select promising channels.
So this is a very important step where we start to narrow the field. Instead of pursuing all 33 channels, we're gonna narrow it down to about three to five of the most promising opportunities. And when I say promising, because you're a startup, your number one priority should be speed. So you wanna find channels that are likely to create results for you quickly. And of course, you also wanna choose channels that are likely to offer a lot of customers, right?
So you're talking about both volume of customers and speed at which you can actually attract them.
And of course another consideration would be your ability to attract them profitably. So just because a channel can deliver a lot of customers, and can do so quickly, it might not be cost effective to pursue it. So that's the kinda thing you wanna be thinking about as you narrow down the field to three to five of the most promising channels, or the most promising opportunities based on your initial brainstorming.
Then it's time to move on to step three.
And step three is something that I think a lot of businesses skip over just naturally when they try to pursue marketing opportunities. And step three is to perform inexpensive tests. This is critical because even if an opportunity seems really promising, and as you go through how you might pursue it, it seems really attractive and it might be really exciting, the fact is not all marketing channels are equal. And sometimes you might be really surprised to find out that one channel just isn't that effective. And if you don't compare its results with another channel, then you're really never able to make that differentiation and to realize, hey, this might be a half decent opportunity, but over here is a much, much better opportunity that we should really be focusing all of our time and attention on.
So this step is all about just simply performing inexpensive, simple tests to validate the potential of each of your promising opportunities. Now, one mistake a lot of businesses make when it comes to testing marketing opportunities like this, is they try to overly optimize in the process.
So for example, if you were gonna place ads on Google AdWords, you might go on there and say, "Okay, I have a $40 margin on my product, "I can't afford to spend more than $40 per conversion here. "And so if I'm spending more than "that then this channel just isn't very promising." And that thought process leads them to aim for targets and to set their ad spend in a way that is unlikely to provide really great results.
And the reason why this is bad is because the only goal of this step here is to validate two things. One, that there are enough customers in this channel that it's worth pursuing. And two, that you have a vague sense that if you took the time to optimize your efforts, and to improve your ad copy and to improve your landing page and your entire marketing funnel as it relates to that channel, then over time, you almost certainly will be profitable.
That's what you're trying to figure out. You're not trying to actually optimize because if you do that too early, you're ruling out a channel before you even give it a chance to breathe.
So what you wanna do here is just simply perform inexpensive tests to validate there are customers there and that it's worth your time and energy to pursue things further. And then afterwards, later in the future, you can worry about doing all that optimization. In some cases, it takes months if not years, to really perfect your entire approach to that channel. And that's perfectly okay. You can do that in the future, and it's not gonna affect your long term potential with that channel.
But the idea behind this step is just simply to validate that it's worth your time to explore things further. And then we move on to step number four, which is to look at all these tests that we've performed and to select one promising channel.
To select the single thing that we're gonna focus on when it comes to building momentum with the business. And this is incredibly important when it comes to a brand new startup because you really can't afford to be spreading yourself too thin. And the reality is that when it comes to a lot of marketing channels, there's a bit of a winner take all dynamic that happens with marketing channels.
Google Search is a great example of this. The person that is able to best optimize and best outperform their rivals when it comes to advertising for a specific keyword or a specific family of keyword phrases, they tend to far outperform whoever is second in that area, whoever is second best at utilizing that marketing channel.
So it really pays to become an absolute master at at least one channel when you're growing a business. In fact, that's pretty common wisdom within the marketing community that you really, if you wanna have a successful business, there should be at least one channel out there that the entrepreneur or founder, or at least one of the co-founders of the business, is incredibly familiar with and is very proficient at using. And that really gives the business a lot of strength.
And so the idea here is really simple, right? You just wanna focus on one channel, you wanna become really great at that one channel, and you wanna absolutely focus your efforts on capitalizing on all of the potential of that channel, until of course, you hit diminishing returns. And that's the point at which spending more money on the channel doesn't really give you more results.
You might find a point like let's say, Google AdWords, you might find spending more than 50,000 in a given period just simply does not increase results. And at that point, it's time to revisit this process, explore other channels and figure out what second or third channel you can tag on to expand your business.
But that's really the process here. It's really straightforward. It's really simple. It might almost seem too simple, but that's okay. And it's a very powerful way to like I say, select and test and ultimately find the one channel that is most promising for your business.
Anyway, that's it for this video. If you have any questions or if you have any thoughts or even suggestions for better ways to attract and convert customers, please share them in the comment section below. And of course, if you're interested in learning more about how to build and grow your business, then I recommend that you subscribe to the channel and turn on notifications so you don't miss out on future videos. But with that said, thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next video..
