Responding to the haters
What's going on?
I think I've made a video about this
probably about a year ago
But this is fun, this is gonna be comical
This isn't a comedy channel, some people think it is
But let me answer some hater comments
that have commented on my, you know, on Facebook
on YouTube, Instagram, things like that
I think these are good for
not just like, you know, for comedy, but also for the aspect of
Like, there's valid things that people are saying here that
you know, either a mindset shift
There's, you know, understanding information incorrectly
or just hopefully that some of these answers that I give
to some of these hater comments
you start to get some value out of it
and, you know, potentially maybe
understand a little bit more about this Amazon business
and what I do, and things like that
Let me start off with Mr. Paul Nguyen
You talk too much, stfu
which stands for, shut the _ up, please
Thank you, Paul
So, I mean, with people who
Like, I only want to help other people that are really interested
and who actually want to be helped
and who actually want to build a solid Amazon business
So like, I have, whatever, 40,000 subscribers on YouTube
a bunch of people following me, things like that
Well, not a bunch of people
But anyway, let's say 100,000 people
watch some type of presentation from me
or some content from me
Majority, probably over 90-something percent
will probably do absolutely nothing
Some people think, yadda yadda yadda
And the thing that I wanna bring out from that
is that should be very good for you
That should be like, awesome
Because what I see it as
most people don't take action, which is sad
However, if you just do that one thing
by taking action on whatever you do
It doesn't have to be selling on Amazon
it could be whatever you're doing, right?
It could be, you know, you being an athlete
it could be you being the best husband or wife
it could be you being the best kid
whatever it may be, right?
Whatever thing that you wanna do
take massive action in a concentrated effort
So people who wanna make that into an Amazon business
I'm here to help you out
With some people, you know, it's
I'm not gonna shut up
but I'm just, you know, people
Some people don't need to be helped
@bugmeatymeatpenman said, U r not a good looking guy
The good thing is that, you know
my customers who buy things on Amazon
they never get to see my face
So, you know, good thing I don't look that good, I guess
Here's actually a really funny one
From a Scott Shafer
This is actually a negative review on my book on Amazon
But I wanna let everyone know, I'll put a screenshot here
it is not a verified purchase
So on Amazon, there's verified reviews and unverified reviews
Unverified reviews don't count towards the Amazon algorithm
it doesn't really mean stuff
Except some people may not buy because they're leaving reviews
Anyone could go online and just leave an unverified review
But it still shows up as a review, it's just gonna say, unverified purchase
So this guy named Scott Shafer
Scott Shafer, unverified review, means he didn't buy my book
it means he doesn't know anything
He put in the thing, Garbage, one star
If you don't know who Beau Crabill is, let me fill you in
He runs constant ads on YouTube trying to convince people to
spend $5,000 to buy his course on selling on Amazon
I don't have a $5,000 course
I have a $997 course that you can check out
at beaucrabill.com/amazon-course
It's not $5,000
I don't know where he got $5,000 from
I don't have a $5,000 course
I don't have a $2,000 course, I don't have a $3,000 course
All the money he's made is from selling courses, that is not true
And the book that led you to his course
Actually, you can read my book with
You don't need my course
Will it help you? You know, probably
Maybe if you like, learning better in video format
You get some minor nuggets of wisdom
He hasn't read my book, it's an unverified purchase
Basic information you can find anywhere
and then he tries to sell you into a super expensive course
Don't buy into this, just Google how to sell on Amazon
Funny thing is
Actually, if you Google how to
Or if you go into Amazon and type in, how to sell on Amazon
my book pops up #1
So I think that's proof in itself that I know what I'm doing
However, I wanna highlight Scott Shafer here
because if I go into YouTube
Let's go youtube.com, I type in Scott Shafer
Guess what pops up?
I guy with a YouTube channel with 9,000 subscribers
talking about how to make money
And he makes videos about Amazon
And guess what he does? And guess what he does?
Arbitrage
So, this guy, you leave in a negative review
Cool
You know, you do arbitrage
you're probably upset because I'd say, don't do arbitrage
'Cause the business model that I do
is where it actually makes sense
It's actually good for the long-term and it's actually scalable
Arbitrage is not 'cause you're running around like a chicken
with your head cut off on going to retail stores and outlets
Which, you know, good luck doing that during these times
And it's just not very viable
So now, he's having to make YouTube videos about it
which, check out his stuff right now
Amazon FBA dead
Okay, yadda yadda
And he has some links and all this stuff
and he does arbitrage
Whatever, so let me go
So long story short, this guy's funny
He's got that ad revenue on YouTube, you know?
So I don't really monetize my videos
Let's see
This one's actually funny, this was in my Facebook group
From Victoria Bay
This is actually, like
But she said, who here actually sells
and makes a living with this model?
I'm curious, tell the truth
It's actually funny, there's like, 36 comments
I'll actually go into my Facebook group right now
Which, if you wanna join my Facebook group, it's free
There's people who are communicating there
I communicate in there
There's other successful sellers
which, on this post, you know, there's people who've learned from me
Some people, not every single person has
But, I wanna find out this guy
Is Victoria Bay
Yeah, join the group, it'll be down below
So let me actually read some of the comments on this
There's actually quite a few people who responded saying like, they
you know, make a good amount of money on Amazon
There's a Judy who actually responded
how she's actually taken my course
She's making, you know, this is her full-time thing
There is, what's his name?
There's a Ryan who's posting stuff
Birdy, we got Austin, and then Clint
A bunch of people who responds, yeah, it's a legit business
This person was just
And they said something actually crazy
Which, I screenshot another one, which is actually funny
Here she said, I find it hard to believe
with the state of California trying to sue all third-party sellers
and the federal government looking to imprison
those who sell PPE, I guess the mask
And Amazon shutting accounts down left and right
How does anyone even breakeven or not go bankrupt?
I read this and just literally got a headache
So, and this person was like, franticking about
They think that selling on Amazon, you're gonna go to jail
I commented back, they never responded to me
I said, can you please explain to me
about how you're gonna go to prison by selling on Amazon?
This is retail, not drug dealing
So, first things first, in America, anyone can sue anyone
It's like, getting sued is not always a bad thing
Losing a lawsuit, that's a different scenario
Like, I've been sued, but I haven't lost a lawsuit
So like, okay, California has also sued Zoom
California has sued Trump, I think like, three times
California has sued
You know, California has probably sued themselves
I don't know, California sued a bunch of different things
But did they win? Did they win, though?
No
So, is California suing third-party sellers?
I don't know
I actually didn't see any information about that
If they did, good luck
Federal government looking to imprison those who sell like, masks?
I mean, I don't know how that relates to selling on Amazon
I don't sell any masks
Just don't sell masks, I've told people that very clearly
I mean, I don't think people go, you know, to prison
Anyway, let me get to the next one
But I get the point
You know, the person was very skeptical
She doesn't know people actually make money like
Again, if you don't think people make money
join my Facebook group, ask the same thing
Check out people that are doing well
Check out my website, I have testimonials
I interview successful people
or people that are doing well in my Amazon business
Like, it's a real business, but are you gonna take real action?
Are you gonna take real effort?
Are you gonna do the things that actually takes to win
which is not always easy?
Evan Port on Facebook said, you're fake, just selling information
Actually, I responded to him
and I kinda explained to him a couple of things
And he actually was like, okay cool
And then he was like, kinda giving a positive message
And I don't check Facebook every second of the day
Like, I run my business
I'm filming this video
It's like, almost 10 o' clock at night right now
and it's like, come on
Anyway, so I responded to him
and I didn't respond for like, two days
'cause I just don't check Facebook
I'm prioritizing, you know, work with my students
And he says, you never got back to me
Thought you were real, guess not
I'm like, oh my gosh
So, I don't know
Actually, I had some people respond to him
in a good way, it was funny
Gino on Facebook said, if you believe this s-word
then I should believe in the Tooth Fairy
I mean, do you really not believe that people
make money by selling products on Amazon?
Like, when you buy something
Let's think about this, you buy something on Amazon
60% of the sales come from third-party sellers
Someone is making money
Best bit of advice I can give to you, Gino
Follow the money
There's money to be made in a lot of different aspects
But if you continue to be a consumer only
Which, I'm not saying that being a consumer is bad
But if you're just buying things
and if you're not investing into things
if you're not investing your money
and if you're not being an owner to some aspect
Like, yes, you're probably gonna believe that
anything in regards to making money is being the Tooth Fairy
because you're probably working for someone
who's making money from you by you working
So, that might be a little deep, but that's it
Todd, which is actually a YouTube subscriber
And I actually, I kinda understand him a little bit
He says, you spend so much time bibble-blabbing
jumping from one thought to another
never clarifying what you started to say, yadda yadda
Which isn't clarified enough
Some of your syntax is incomprehensible
because it's blurred out so fast
I actually kinda grew up with a speech impediment
So sometimes, when I like
roll my words or don't pronounce things
it's actually 'cause like, I literally
Like, there's certain words that I can't pronounce
I had a speech impediment until
I guess my entire life
There's, I mean, I got
I worked on it really hard
I had to take speech classes when I was younger, so that
Sometimes, maybe a little bit of it
Anyway
Maybe this is supposed to be cool or something
No, it's not
I don't know
If I'm teaching a subject that I know 100% better than the students
I make a point to slow down
I mean, I wouldn't say all my YouTube videos are specifically
just trying to teach
Sometimes I'm, you know, trying to educate and, you know
try to tell some stories to get behind it because
I realize like, the more kind of, you know
stories and ways that can explain it, the better it gets learned
I mean, if you're looking for straight like, boring
Like, 1+1=2, going step by step by step really slow
Or I wouldn't say like, really slow, right?
But if going like, at a very easy rate
my course goes over that
And like, YouTube videos are not
Like, when I think of YouTube videos, I'm not always like, okay
Hi guys, I'm here to teach you, here's a whiteboard, here's this
this is the agenda
In my course, I go over, hey
this is the agenda of this lesson, this is what I'm gonna teach you
Then I teach you
then I tell you what I taught you and recap everything
So that's where like, okay, I understand what he's doing
but like, this YouTube channel, it's not always for me
Like, we're not in a class right now, it's my YouTube channel
I mean, I don't know
Maybe I'm wrong on that, whatever
Someone named A.n.g 43
By the way, to anyone watching this
So I posted a video, October of 2017, which is a long time ago
Like, just showing some products like, to sell, things like that
Obviously things change in Amazon, I mention that all the time
So, this is actually a good hater comment
just because of, you know
Anyway, it's like, it's just a misunderstanding, right?
And just people being, you know, whatever
He said, by the way, to anyone watching this video
if you wanna sell items like bleach
you have to go through an entire chemical training seminar
and it's super long
Of course though, he didn't mention that in video
to make it sound easy
So, back then, 2017, it was easier to get ungated in certain products
So you didn't have to go through a seminar
except like, whatever
You watch the videos, you watch the webinar in chemical training
just do it
Answer the question, right? They're probably common sense questions
But that's good, you know?
'Cause, so A.n.g, whatever your username is
the reason what that is is because
Amazon changes up their policies with restrictions
Which is good if you're staying on top of things
So yes, I didn't mention it back then in the video
'cause that wasn't an issue
You just had to probably get, you know, sell it and call it good
Maybe in a category
So anyway, long story short
it's not that I purposely didn't leave something out
It's 'cause Amazon updates their stuff
So I think we got one more hater comment by Rob
I think this is
Again, this is, there's two like, unverified reviews
on my book on Amazon
And they both say like, the same things
which makes no sense
He said, another guru promotion to buy his overpriced
$5,000 bs course and rob you of promises
It's not a verified purchase, this person did not buy my book
and I don't sell a $5,000 course
Maybe it's the Scott Shafer guy who's
I don't know, maybe some other person
But like, it's weird, they both said $5,00 course
I don't have a $5,000 course
I don't know
It could, I think it's some person who's just leaving a review
Anyway, the way to answer that
I mean, I don't know
I mean, I fulfill on practically everything that I say or promise
I don't really promise the moon
And, you know, Amazon's a good business, but it takes work
Like, I can't promise that you're gonna make a bunch of money
But if you put in the work, you know, it's gonna go
Another guru
I mean, people use the "guru" quite a bit
I mean, I would say I definitely know what I'm doing
with selling on Amazon
The reason why I started a YouTube channel was not
to just sell a course, or a $5,000 course, except
Anyone, can you please show me where
Maybe someone's reselling my course for $5,000
That'll be interesting
Buy low, sell high, just kidding
You do that, I will get a person that's gonna send you some
pretty bad things
And if you wanna do so, you know
full legal action on you, and good luck to yourself
Who was, someone was doing something
Yeah, I've had a couple of other people who like, copy my stuff
It's funny
Literally like, word for word
There's like a Mikey guy that
Like, he literally watches all my videos and then just like
makes a new video about it, it's weird
Anyway, long story short, that's me responding to haters
