Good afternoon, my children. Welcome to the show. I’m the author, Jonathan David, the one and only a majestic man with a majestic voice. [laughter]
Anywh who, did I’ve been self-employed all up on that there internet style for about 15 years. I also do um throughout my online business ventures, I also do in-person stuff, sales. I sell my books, book signing events, selling books. You know, uh I did private tutoring. I used to market to get tutors or students uh with flyers and campuses and things. If you guys are going to start a business, um you got to know how to advertise legally. You can’t just go paste crap all over light poles around the city. I mean, you can get in big trouble for that. It is vandalizing it. It destroys the property. It disrupts the cosmetics and it’s unfair business practices. You guys should before before you start letting your brain rack about how you’re going to market your product. Do it within the confines of the law. Otherwise, your business could be ripped from you. I live in Madison, Wisconsin, and businesses think they think it’s a smart thing. put stickers and posters all over these polls all over the city and then somebody from the city comes by every day and rips them down and has to scrape all the crap off. All it does is waste taxpayer dollars. It’s not an effective use of your uh marketing skills and it’s illegal and it’s unfair to other businesses. Taking getting an advantage in in uh business there there’s like that quote everything’s everything’s uh fair and love and war and business or whatever. It’s a quote. Doesn’t mean it’s true. It just means you’re you’re a prick or not. Some people think, “I’m in business. I have the right to be a prick and rob people.” It usually doesn’t work out unless you get lucky and make quatrillion billion dollars and that nobody can stop you from being the prick that you are. [laughter]
I I believe that that was uh that virality of financial influx was prevented from coming to me by divine intervention as a young man because that’s what would have happened to me. My arrogance and cockiness would have taken me to a whole level of I’m a god in my head, you know. But uh let me let me I just want to I want to address some things. I’m doing a I’m doing today I’m going to show you guys how to start an online business and not lose half or all of your profits to other companies. I have spent 15 years making a living on the internet. Sometimes it’s really good and usually when it gets really good, somebody swoops in and snuffs it out or takes everything from you. You have to understand if you’re going to do an online business, you are entering the game of thrones. That is what you are entering. And you can you can try to get the throne. You can invest everything you have and convince as many people as you can to join your army to try to fight Cersei, the Lannisters. All you’re going to end up doing is losing everything and dying at the end. And one person will be standing. And that is not going to be the person you think it is. It’s always going to be somebody else who was just more clever or had more money or more power or luckier. Doesn’t really matter. It’s a game. Okay? Life is life is a game. Some people live life as if it’s a video game. They’re here. Your body’s an avatar. It doesn’t matter if I lie, cheat, or steal. I’m here to survive and do whatever I want. It’s a it’s a game. Other people are present in reality and are like, “Those actions affect the rest of us. We’re all trying to enjoy our life.” But the other person’s like, “Well, I’m enjoying my life. I came here to play this game. It doesn’t matter what it’s a game.” And and that’s that yin and yang thing when you you you have that conflict with people. This is what you’re going to enter into when you go into an online business is the yin and yang. The the the constant exchange of manipulation of truth and lies. The back and forth and that that that toiling of back and forth is uh is what keeps certain companies in business. They get you so flustered and confused and disoriented by this continuation of never answering your questions and then you just give up. It’s like, keep everything. I don’t care. It’s yours. I I’m done. I can’t deal with this anymore. That’s the game they play. All these companies, you ask any one of these companies a question, they will always respond with a question. The most evil way to communicate with a human being is to respond to a question with a question. The uh uh uneducated high school kids do that like constantly. They think they’re superior in conversation because they don’t answer a question or or say, “I’m not going to answer that question.” They just respond to the question with a question. And and then you have now the choice to either respond to their question with a question or answer their question. Now you’ve given you you’ve given them power over you. People adults do this too, but a lot of high school kids, they they’re they’re unlearned in communication. And so they think that’s a superior way to communicate when it really it just makes people never want to talk to them again. Um I I see it in adults too all the time. The but all these corporations that operate on the internet that’s the strategy they adopted. The strategy is simple. Never answer anybody’s questions and always respond to their questions with a question. And if they come back you always respond to the question. Never answer the question. They just they’ll let they have the AI like long before AI they just had bots that would do that and they just they’re just programmed to simply answer your question with a question no matter what you what your response is it’s never answer the question just respond with a question because the person will give up and and walk away from the situation and they will never they’ll give up walk away from the situation
and and they don’t have enough money or power to pursue any legal action legal a recourse. So, they just give up. It’s just the end of the show. That you, if you’re going to do an online business, you need to be aware of that. All right? That that needs to be like one of the first things that you address is that if Let me explain. This is lesson one. I’m going to show you guys how to build a a website. Next, this is like just a quick playlist with like 20, 30, 40 videos. I’m going to I’m going to show you how to build a WordPress website from start to finish in like 30 minutes that you can make money on that you get to keep that you can start earning money on today and you get to keep and you can start marketing your website today and start selling today and you get to keep the money. Not only do you get to keep the money, the money actually comes to your bank account that day. This is this is the this is the important thing. So for lesson one, if you’re going to start an online business,
the number one rule that you need to worship, you have to worship this rule. You cannot deviate from it ever. It will it’ll just you’ll just stretch yourself thin or spread yourself thin and and you’ll exhaust yourself. You’ll become disoriented and you’ll give up. This is the golden rule. If the customer does not send the money to you directly, then you’re not going to get that money. You have to worship that rule. If you want to be successful online, you have to worship that rule. And you can’t go into the 1 percentile, but this person made it this way and this way. Okay? You can’t go down that road. If you go down that road, you’re you’re walking into the trap I was telling you about of the answering questions with questions. If you want to if you want to have a successful online business, this is the golden rule. If the customer does not send you the money, you will not get the money. That is how the internet works. It’s a it’s a recycling laundering
circle of thievery that is wrapped around the law to prevent anything bad, whatever. You get the point. It’s it’s it’s a it’s a let me explain. When when you guys send a $100 tip through YouTube and you pay on your phone to a content creator as a tip donation as a like you’re donating $100 to me. I’ve had this happen a lot of times. You’re sending me $100 and you pay from your cell phone.
Pay attention.
All right. So, you send me $100 as a donation, this is pay attention to this. This is the golden rule, okay? If if a fan sends me $100 through GoFundMe, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, uh the thing through the banks, the I get not only do I get all of that money, if you send a $100 donation through PayPal or Venmo, they don’t take a cut. It’s a donation. They can’t legally take a cut. It’s a donation. They can charge a fee, but it’s it’s iffy if they can take it from the donation or if they have to charge the fee on top of it. That’s what GoFundMe does. The GoFundMe charges the fee on top of the donation. So, when you guys want to send a $100 to a content creator on YouTube and you pay on your phone, this is what happens. That $100 is $30 is shaved off by Apple. Now, it’s $70. Okay, then 30% more even up to 50% depending on if you do it as a super thanks or if you do it as this. YouTube then takes 30 to 50% after that 30% from Apple. So that goes to like that takes 28 to like 40 bucks off. So you go from a $100 donation that is supposed to be tax-free. You don’t have to pay taxes on a donation on donations up to like $20,000. Last I checked. It might be more now. If you guys sent like $20,000 in donations through PayPal, I wouldn’t have to pay any fees and I wouldn’t have to pay any taxes on it. So, YouTube found a way, a loophole, a legal loophole to launder that money into their pockets. And laundering might not be the right term, but to recycle it into their pockets. and Apple found the same loophole. Apple and Google have been fighting for years on on how much money they’re going to rob from us. They finally came to the conclusion everything. They’re like, “So, so you make the payment on Apple, that $100 goes to 70. Now it goes to Google. Now Google takes their cut. Now it’s down to like $35 cut in half.” Okay, pay attention. It’s considered It’s not considered real income. It’s considered royalties. So the government taxes it at like 40%. [laughter] Because of the nature of the way the money was sent. Now that $100 that comes, this is why the people that run Google and Apple are going to burn in hell for eternity. There is no escape at this point. That that’s where they’re going. You send me a donation. The intentions are I want to donate Jonathan $100 for his work. You send it to me through PayPal, a payment processing service. By law, they can’t take any of it. And I don’t have to pay taxes on it. I get all of it. I get the whole $100. And I don’t have to pay taxes on it. You send it to Apple or Google via YouTube. Not only do I get none of it, I have to pay taxes on the little bit that I get. It turns into nothing. Nothing. So, some of you may have known me for a long time. I’ve built many websites. I’ve tried many platforms. I’ve used all of them. Shopify, fourth wall, Amazon selling, Walmart, eBay, dot dot dot dot dot, all of these things. I’ve used all of them. They’re all dead. It’s over with. They will not survive. Small businesses are either going to become the dominant force of work or corporations are going to turn us into Hitler’s Germany. The problem with Hitler’s Germany is it’s not sustainable. So small businesses will always prevail. There’s temporary dominance of large powers, but small businesses always prevail because when certain connections are cut off of trades transferring, then it creates a community where you now have to have a small business to survive. There is no glory in becoming the greatest corporate CEO person at all. It’s all going to crumble to pieces. You’re going to end up going to a small business in a small town and just helping your community and just enjoying life. Hey, we’re barbecuing on Sunday. Bob’s selling cars on Tuesday. I’m running the bank on Thursday. And we’re all equal. I make more money than you. But nobody cares because we’ll all take care of each other. That’s what that’s what’s going to happen. If the corporations take over, it’s going to turn into Hitler’s Germany, which is going to turn into Satan’s playground, which is going to turn into a machine that sucks all the energy out of everything as fast as possible, which is going to turn us into dust. It’s been written in the Bible and every other culture has predicted it because it’s happened over and over and over and over for billions of years. But pay pay attention, children. Okay? Lesson one, the golden rule. If the if the customer or the fan does not give you the money, you are not getting it and you have no legal recourse to get it back. So I uh I deleted many YouTube channels, very successful, many social media companies, very successful many web many uh relationships with um companies that host websites to host videos and things. Many times I have done this. I have deleted all of it because they will lie to you. They will give you more at first and suck you in and then once you start once the balls stabilize and things are coming in, boom, they change their policies and oh, we actually take 90% of everything that comes through here now. You get nothing. Thanks for building this for us though. Oh, by the way, you signed a contract releasing your content, information, whatever to us. We don’t have to delete it or give it back to you. It’s ours and we’re taking every penny. Thank you. This has happened to me. This this you you have no idea. I have been through every sort of ass rapery that you can imagine from these corporations. The lies they tell you, the mirage they paint, like wise ant tutoring, saying they’re this prestigious tutoring company, this that they’re helping college students cheat. College students are not allowed to use tutors. It’s a violation of the code of conduct and syllabus unless the professor approves it. And and uh they they lie, but they’re not breaking the law. They’re not violating any code of conduct. The student is they’re using the students willingness to cheat to take advantage of their wallet and they and they it’s just like stat straten stock whatever in the and I told you guys in the Wolf of Wall Street Stratton Stratton [sighs] the guy made this fancy sounding stock company to try to get wealthy people to invest because because he’s like he needed to have that Ivy League. you’re an Ivy League college gradu he’s targeting rich people. So he created this Ivy League looking stock trading company so he could rob the crap out of them. That’s what’s happening with all these businesses. So rule number one, golden rule, okay? Golden rule of starting an online business. Look, I’m not trying to tell you how to become a billionaire. I’m trying to tell you how to survive on your own as an individual business owner like I have for 15 years. Obviously, the objective is that you make a really good salary and you’re your boss. In order for that to happen, you have to have the customer give you the money. I go out in person and I I go to art vending, art shows and stuff and I do book signings. I sell my product in person. I make these books. This is this you may not believe it right now because you haven’t seen it. I I record myself live. I made this book live on camera by hand. Phys the physical product. I printed everything out, cut everything up, glued everything together, put the packaging together, made the bookmark, designed everything that no no AI was used in the design of this except for AI wrote the description in the back. Everything in the book’s original writing, I recorded all of it. This is a handmade product. It’s my business because because I’ve been selling books for 15 years. If I if I get a book from a third party company like this one here, I get nothing. They take everything. So, I make my books by hand. This is a handmade book. I made this book right here. I used my skills and desperation to engineer a way to make these myself on demand right here. However, I do for I do I do pime I primarily for the crash course stuff try to sell you guys the hard cover simply because there’s so much information in it that I can’t get it all into the size that I can glue together here. And if you glue too much together, then the book just it it it the the glue. I mean, I could make it work, but the problem is the paper size, the printers and the paper size. I’m just limited. Um, but I can break them up into multiple books, but most people just the big crash course hard cover. And I and now for that what I do to now if I if I give you guys a link to Amazon or Lulu or Ingram Spark or Drafted Digital or Barnes & Noble to buy this book, they take everything and they hold your money for months before they give it to you. The little bit that you get, they hold it for months. You also put all of your intellectual property rights into their hands and you give them full control over whether or not your product can sell or not be sold. There is a team of people that will investigate every book published at some point and they will decide whether or not you’re just another book on the shelf or you’re the Harry Potter. Now, that doesn’t mean you can’t make a good living as an author like I do. I make a very good living as an author by statistically speaking. I’m I’m actually one of the highest paid authors on the planet. Statistically speaking, that doesn’t mean I’m rich. Doesn’t mean I’m doing super good. Just means statistically speaking, you know, Stephen King’s like top dog and then and he’s like, you know, it’s like X. He’s way up here at the top of the mountain and then there’s people trailing down. I’m right up here at the start of the mountain and 99% of the other authors are behind me. So, it does not it doesn’t mean I’m I’m like a multi-millionaire conglomerate. I’m just saying statistically speaking, I’m one of the top paid authors on the planet, which is fascinating. If you But I don’t sell my books anywhere anymore. I do use a third-party press though to print the hard covers, which I can make myself, which I might do at some point, but it’s too much work. I’d have to charge $1,000 a book to do that. So, so the golden rule here, I use a third-party print to ship these books and I pay them the foundation fee for manufacturing the book and having a human put it together and put it in a envelope and send it over to somebody. As of right now, the rate that they charge is very fair. It’s very fair. So, I use it, but I have set up my business so that if they decide to do this thing where they I start doing thousands of sales every month, they’re like, “Oh, we’re doubling the fees.” Then I will cancel my service with them and I set up my I set up my business so that I can go a different route if they do that. This is this is the golden rule. You you will have to use other companies to assist you in the production of products and sales. And once you start getting traction and you get a lot of sales, guess what? All of a sudden, the prices double. Your sales double, but the cost of everything doubles. So, your profit stays the same, but you’re working twice as hard. This is the Game of Thrones for internet business. the the so I I just I come on here because I have spent 15 years being chewed up, spit up, ripped apart, robbed, lied to, bait and switched, manipulated for 15 years. So, I come on here to help other small business owners avoid this. So, the golden rule is if you’re going to start an online business, this is the golden rule. If you break this rule, your business will crumble to pieces. The golden rule is the customer gives you the money. If you don’t get the money directly from the customer, then you get nothing. That’s the golden rule. So if you’re going to start a business, you need to take that as the pinpoint foundation central unit of the entire structure of your business. That any way you go about doing business on the internet results in the customer giving you the money directly. Now, the customer giving you the money directly, what I mean is you might have to use a payment processing thing like PayPal or Stripe or something like that. A payment processing company can’t legally charge more than a certain amount. They were restricted so that you can control your money. You still have to give them a fee for processing the payment. There’s no way around that. But you don’t want to get suckered in to a third-party processing company, a a middleman. Okay? So, like like the company FourthWall or like like Yeah, like Fourth Wall is a good example. Fourth Wall is a great great thing, but they’ve got it set up to take everything from you once you get big. So, I won’t use it anymore. It’s set up. It’s set up to just once you get big, once it’s in, once there’s this funnel of money coming through, they got it set up where they can flip a switch and be like, “Oh, we get all of it now.” You get started. You get this momentum. You put all this work into this. And then that’s what happens. You get all this traffic. You get all this money. You’re like, “Oh, this is great.” And then they flip a switch. Oh, we got control of everything now. You signed the contract. It’s ours. We have the right to change all of the rates at any time we want because because they are the middleman to the payment processing between PayPal and Stripe and other banks, but if they’re the middleman, they’re not the payment processor. They don’t have to follow the laws when the money comes through. So that’s what I’m talking about. If it’s like it seems like the customer is giving you the money directly on fourth wall, it’s not. It’s going to them after it goes through the payment processor. They charge you the fee. It goes to them. And then now they have legal rights to charge whatever’s fee they want because you signed the contract. I started I started building momentum on that website and getting a lot of members paying monthly fees and traffic and everything and and uh I could see it. That’s what they were about to do to me. So I deleted everything. Pissed off a lot of people. You don’t want to do that. You do not want to alienate your customers or fans. It pissed off a lot of people. But I had to do it because otherwise I would be working for free so that they could make hundreds of thousands of dollars off me. And that’s just unacceptable. It just doesn’t work. And I’m I’m a self-employed person. I’m an entrepreneur. I cannot go work for a company. I’m not It’s not who I am. There are people that are employees, people that run businesses, and then there’s self-employed people. You cannot force that square peg into the round hole thing. Okay? You just can’t. You can try to. It’s not going to work. And that’s the problem with these corporations right now. They think that they can do that. It’s not going to work. It’s going to destroy their businesses. People like me that devote 100 hours a week to adding content to these companies don’t want to do it anymore. Never again. I don’t trust these companies at all. They just set you up, lie to you, bait and switch you, put the carrot in front of you as a donkey, get you walking, and then they take everything. Once they get you in momentum, they get you locked in. Now you’re screwed. Now you either go back to a job and leave all the work for them to make money for the rest of the rest of your life on or you find a new way. I find new ways. And when I find a new way, they find a way to snuff me out. There’s somebody on the other end just like me. Highly intelligent problem solver. I solve the problem, find a way, they find me, they snuff it out. I’m battling with myself on the other side, the evil version of myself, the it’s really sick. So I uh I find a way to navigate And I will just I will just kick this off today. I’m going to build this playlist. I’m just going to do this whole thing today. I’m going to build an entire website from start to finish. I’m going to share the whole entire process with you guys. I’m going to show you how to set it up. I’m going to show you how to set it up so that the payments come to you for free. All of this will be for free except for the fee you have to pay to the web host. I’m going to show you how to do everything for free. Best to the best of my to the best of to the best that you can. I’m going to show you how to set it up so that you don’t get robbed. I’m going to show you how to set it up so that if something does happen where they’re about to rob you, you can flip your own switch and prevent that from happening. That for me, that’s making my own books. I use a third party press to get these books because it’s affordable now, but if all of a sudden I’m ordering a million copies or something, boom, all of a sudden it’s not affordable. So, I have a backup plan where I make my own books. I have the whole thing set up so that I can flip a switch. So, if you ever do business with another company that is going to have the money go to them before it goes to you, make sure you have a backup plan to flip the switch. But see, in this situation, the money doesn’t go to them to the third party print. It doesn’t go to them. It goes to me and then I pay them for the book. If I they have a Now, here’s the thing. They have a link that I can use where I don’t have to handle the processing of the payment and the and the order and everything. and they do it and it’s very fair right now. So, I could give you their link and then you just fill out their form and they handle everything and then they send me a check. Here’s the problem. The money that you pay to them, I don’t see for months and months and months. What’s the point of doing it if I don’t get paid? You these companies don’t their their logic is skewed. People have to be paid when they work so that they can pay their bills and buy food. They take the money and hold it for as long as they can, but the customer bought it from you. This is what you want to avoid. So if you want to start a successful online business, the golden rule, the central pivoting point of the entire construct that your business needs to be focused on the golden rule. Do not ever do business in a situation where the customer does not give you the money directly. PayPal and Stripe are payment processing and Square. PayPal, Stripe, Square, payment processing companies. That’s the only that’s the only middleman between you and the customer. Period. Can’t use fourth wall, Shopify, YouTube. Can’t use none of that. You can use a payment processing company and have the customer pay you directly. End of story. If you deviate from that, you are going to become a victim and you are going to waste thousands of hours and probably hundreds of thousands of dollars to find out that you built this beautiful thing that some company just reached up, grabbed and took from you and it’s now theirs and you signed the contract and you can’t get it back. And I have been down that road from every possible company there is. There is there is no honor in business on the internet like honor among thieves. These people are thieves. There’s no honor among thieves. So don’t work with thieves. If you don’t want to be robbed, don’t work with them. That So that’s the golden rule. So we’re going to start now. I’m going to start from I’m going to show you how to do this. I am Check this out. This is what’s going to happen today. I’m going to build a website. I’m going to set it up for sales. I’m going to show you how I’m going to get sales and I’m going to get sales. I’m going to show you how to set it up in like two hours and I will get sales and that money will come to me to my bank account. I’ll show you how to do it. Here’s the problem. When I do this, the algorithms and all these social media companies catch wind, then I’m not using fourthwall or Shopify or Wix or Woo Commerce and YouTube and Facebook and Instagram. They all own the internet. Google owns the internet. Everything’s found through Google. Then they catch wind with this. then Google doesn’t want to show you my content because I’m getting all the money. Their entire business, 99.9% of the internet is owned by Google and Amazon and Facebook and their whole entire all of them together is to take everything from everybody. That’s all they want to do. And so that is a very illegal thing, very illegal because Google has monopolized the internet and I can’t conduct business unless they allow me to. And they won’t allow me to do business unless they get everything. That is an a very illegal act. And can you prove it? Well, government keeps trying to prove it. They keep deleting their hard drives. They finally got some stuff on Facebook. You’ll you’ll understand this from the back end when you experience it. When when you experience it, you’ll understand what I’m saying. So, you either do it right from I’ve been doing this for 15 years. I’ve been making a living for 15 years doing this. I can build a website. I can host my content. I can sell product to people directly and have them pay me directly. So the golden rule is that. Now the second rule is marketing. How in the world do you get people to go to your website when Facebook and Amazon and Google own the internet and they have the right, not the right, but they have the option to prevent you from being found. That is the next trick. And I will divulge this information with all of you. I’m sharing this with you guys as a marketing strategy to sell my book or my other books, my handmade books. You know, this is such a cool product. It’s awesome. My tiny books. I have little tiny books. I make these by hand. I’m selling you guys my product. It’s my product. If I sell you this book, I can pay my bills. If I if you buy my book through Amazon, I get nothing. You understand? I did all this work to create this product. Even if I sell you this physical handmade book on Amazon, I get nothing. They take everything. You don’t understand. They take everything because they take like 50% of the sales. 40 50% of the sales. So I’d have to charge $500 for this book. They take $250 for me to make a profit. I You want to pay 50 bucks for this book, they take half of it. I’m actually paying I’m losing money. You understand? Is it making Is it coming clear to you? These these companies are going to crumble to pieces. Nobody is going to do business with them in the next 5 to 10 years. They nobody will. It’s pointless. They have set up this this relentless system of robbery because I think they foresee that nobody’s going to do business with them in the next 5 to 10 years. So they’re like, “Take everything you can right now while you can because this is over with. Put ads on everything. Take everything from everybody. Rob everybody as fast as you can because this is over with. Nobody’s going to use any of these companies for business going forward. I would never sell on Amazon, eBay. I would never sell on Facebook, anything. I would never sell on Shopify, Woo Commerce. I would never use FourthWall. I use PayHip now, right now, temporarily, because they send me money. They take a big cut though. They charge extra fees, too. So, I’m going back to my own individual website, and I’m focusing on that. So, then the trick is the next part of the puzzle is how in the world do you market a website that Google will not allow people to find? I can get it in the search engine. I can get it to show up top in search, but once Google’s algorithm catches wind that you guys are paying me and it’s not going through all these other companies, then boom, suddenly I’m not there anymore. That is called monopolization and unfair business practices, all kinds of other legal lingo. And then they would come at me and say, “You’re that’s you’re you’re making up lies. It’s defamations. It’s hearsay.” And I would say, “Sure, okay, show me your algorithm.” They say it’s confidential. And I go, “Well, then you’re accusing me. I’m accusing you. I I I I can’t prove it. You won’t show me the evidence. So, you know, it’s what I said at the beginning, answering questions with questions.” So, the golden rule is if you’re going to start a business online, the golden rule is the central focus of do not ever put yourself in any situation ever where the customer is not handing you the money. If they’re not handing you the money, don’t do it. Walk away from it. It’s a scam. It’s a joke. It’s a lie. And don’t slip into that one percentile and be like, “Uhuh. Well, this one person, yeah, dude, it’s a lie.” You ever gone to a casino and they show you the jackpot winner? You could be the next jackpot winner. You’re like, “Yeah, don’t go to the casino and try to make a paycheck, but mom, this one person won, so that means I’m going to win. If I try hard enough at putting coins into a machine, I’m going to be the jackpot winner.” That is the same algorithm that the social media companies and Amazon uses. They they show you a fake grown account that they manufactured behind the scenes illegally. The jackpot winner. They show that to you to brainwash you into thinking you’re going to win that jackpot. You’re not. If the customer does not hand you the money, you will never get the money. Golden rule. That’s it. So, if you’re going to start an online business, this is the golden rule. If the customer does not hand you the money, it’s not yours. So, do not do business that way. You just walk away from anything in that situation. I know 15 years of doing this, okay? 15 years. I’m 42. I’ve been alive since the internet began. I grew up on this thing. I know how it works from behind the scenes in a way most people don’t. Take my advice, you’ll be successful. If you go the route where somebody takes the payment for you, they are going to make you seem like you’re going to make a lot more money faster by tricking you, by getting you to build their company, then they’re going to flip the switch and say, “Oh, we changed our policy. We get to keep 90% of everything.” Now, that’s what’s going to happen every single time because they listen, they are following the golden rule. Their business is get to get the customer to give them the money and they they they operate that business by tricking you into creating it. They follow the golden rule. That’s why they’re successful. The customer gives them the money.
Golden rule. Okay, that’s lesson number one. So, let’s build this website. I’m going set it up. It’s going to be awesome. You’re going to be very impressed. Take like an hour or two to do this. It’ll be set up for sales and I will have sales and I’ll I’ll tell you when I get the first sale. Come on. I’ll say, “Look, I I just made this today. I got a sale. I’ll tell you I’ll tell you. Boom. Customer paid me through that platform and I I actually got the money. It’ll I I don’t I can’t say for sure I’ll get a sale today, but I’m pretty good at this. The trick is maintaining consistency because once once you get once you start getting sales, these companies find out and they try to take everything from you. So, all right.
