Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:04,620
OK so we're gonna talk about what you guys need to be looking for so that you can find the best opportunities
2
00:00:04,620 --> 00:00:05,600
on Amazon.
3
00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:10,890
And we're going to talk about a lot of things that you should look for and then you know some requirements
4
00:00:10,890 --> 00:00:14,490
later after so what you need to be looking for is volume.
5
00:00:14,490 --> 00:00:19,830
So there needs to be dollar bills being spent and there needs to be a good amount of sales so we'll
6
00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:21,600
get more in-depth on those later.
7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,800
But basically there needs to be enough people looking for something to buy it.
8
00:00:24,810 --> 00:00:28,650
If nobody is looking for something then how are they going to buy it.
9
00:00:28,650 --> 00:00:32,640
We already talked about earlier that Amazon is the search engine for products.
10
00:00:32,670 --> 00:00:34,600
And we've also talked about that.
11
00:00:34,660 --> 00:00:36,780
It's they go to find products that they're looking for.
12
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:38,370
They have an idea of what they want in their head.
13
00:00:38,430 --> 00:00:43,710
They put it into words and then they see what there is but you can't put the words into their heads.
14
00:00:43,730 --> 00:00:44,520
OK.
15
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:49,070
So that brings me to the point for Amazon what we're looking for.
16
00:00:49,170 --> 00:00:51,390
We're not looking to make brand new inventions.
17
00:00:51,390 --> 00:00:53,430
We're looking for where people are searching.
18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,950
And then we're looking to find improvements that we can make and fulfill the needs that aren't being
19
00:00:58,950 --> 00:01:00,660
fulfilled for the consumers.
20
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:04,750
So the best example that I had for this was the solar eclipse goggles with these goggles.
21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,310
Basically people were looking for eclipse glasses.
22
00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:12,470
They needed a way to look at the sun and you know have a good once in a lifetime experience.
23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,310
And I was able to then look at that and read the reviews and saw that people weren't having all their
24
00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:18,520
needs fulfilled.
25
00:01:18,510 --> 00:01:21,690
There's a lot of light that will get put in and children couldn't see it the best.
26
00:01:21,690 --> 00:01:24,510
And people wanted more premium quality product.
27
00:01:24,510 --> 00:01:29,010
And I was able to make that by making the goggles that did offer that premium quality that people were
28
00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:29,700
looking for.
29
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:34,950
So that brings me into how I was able to make that a mention or you know the slight improvements that
30
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:35,910
people wanted.
31
00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:41,010
It all comes down to this analysis framework that I think that everybody should understand because this
32
00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:44,540
will decide if products are going to make it or not make it.
33
00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:48,480
Basically it comes down to consumers needs or the customer's needs.
34
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:49,010
OK.
35
00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:54,000
So there's a couple of general ones and you want to get an array of these or you want to get a couple
36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:54,590
of them.
37
00:01:54,660 --> 00:02:00,220
You don't need all of these but you want to have some way to differentiate from the other people.
38
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,000
Because if you're just doing what other people are doing then it comes down to price and the number
39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,130
of reviews and when you compete on price it's not you don't want to play that game.
40
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:17,130
So here's the games that we do want to play for and that's by finding ways to fulfill customer needs
41
00:02:17,130 --> 00:02:18,290
that aren't being filled yet.
42
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:20,580
So there are general customer needs.
43
00:02:20,670 --> 00:02:23,550
These are what people use every time that they go to buy.
44
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:29,460
They're not actually using them like a checklist in kind of filling out like yes it meets this.
45
00:02:29,460 --> 00:02:33,750
Now they're going and they're psychologically thinking about these and somebody goes to buy.
46
00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:35,490
This might be the only important one.
47
00:02:35,490 --> 00:02:38,910
Like you forgot a wedding gift and it's like what is there.
48
00:02:38,910 --> 00:02:39,870
What are my options.
49
00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:40,560
All right.
50
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,530
So that's one where you could essentially go and add value by having Amazon Prime and deliver in two
51
00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:51,810
days or even overnight versus if all the other people in that market were five to seven days because
52
00:02:51,810 --> 00:02:52,980
they were shipping it themselves.
53
00:02:52,980 --> 00:02:58,410
So that's one thing that we can look out for is just offering fulfill by Amazon when it doesn't currently
54
00:02:58,410 --> 00:02:59,400
exist.
55
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,870
And it's also comes into.
56
00:03:00,870 --> 00:03:06,000
So basically the meta concepts of that is that it's about time and convenience and efficiency.
57
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,280
So there's that with obviously the delivery speed but we could also be offering that in their daily
58
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:11,640
life.
59
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:12,570
So does.
60
00:03:12,570 --> 00:03:18,000
Is there a way that we could somehow make this product more convenient or efficient for whatever their
61
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,480
need is.
62
00:03:18,510 --> 00:03:20,330
So what are their needs though.
63
00:03:20,370 --> 00:03:21,650
That is utility.
64
00:03:21,690 --> 00:03:27,030
So there is two needs actually there is self-expression and there is utility and I'm going to explain
65
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:28,350
what those mean now.
66
00:03:28,350 --> 00:03:34,530
So essentially if you're looking for utility you need to achieve something or improve your life.
67
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,520
If I'm in the headphone market I'm obviously looking for something that is functional.
68
00:03:39,530 --> 00:03:44,910
So I'm not looking for a self-expression one I'm not looking for some like ones for a photo shoot or
69
00:03:44,910 --> 00:03:46,390
to make me look beautiful.
70
00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:51,090
There are some people that only care about the design of them but a majority of the people are looking
71
00:03:51,090 --> 00:03:52,260
for utility.
72
00:03:52,260 --> 00:03:58,470
So I would kind of just like we'll just analyze the different needs and why there's so many products
73
00:03:58,500 --> 00:03:59,820
in the headphone market.
74
00:03:59,890 --> 00:04:04,330
There's functionality so Bluetooth these they fold.
75
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,420
OK so that is great.
76
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,430
And what these end up doing is they improve the consumer experience.
77
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,140
OK.
78
00:04:12,180 --> 00:04:16,830
So when you improve experience basically you're just going to get happier customer.
79
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,920
They're going to feel like a G when they put them on.
80
00:04:20,190 --> 00:04:23,440
He feel even better if he was wearing ones without a cord.
81
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:26,970
Because I love that they're Bluetooth and it makes working out a lot easier.
82
00:04:26,970 --> 00:04:33,060
Another factor of utility is gonna be reliability so I know and will pay a lot more for these Bose headphones
83
00:04:33,090 --> 00:04:37,310
because they're reliable they will last for years and they don't break because they're foldable.
84
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,070
So like we're saying it's not like these functionalities are all.
85
00:04:41,130 --> 00:04:43,440
None of them are independent.
86
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:48,960
They all kind of intertwine with each other and are all important and they affect one another.
87
00:04:49,230 --> 00:04:54,600
So basically the customers all have wants and ideas in their heads on each one of these aspects.
88
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,370
And our goal is looking at the market and seeing where are their needs not fulfilled in these are them.
89
00:05:00,370 --> 00:05:02,890
So another one is performance.
90
00:05:02,910 --> 00:05:03,530
OK.
91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,100
Battery life on these.
92
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,200
Now I will.
93
00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:14,290
I like these because they last for 10 to 20 hours and they automatically turn off so I barely have to
94
00:05:14,290 --> 00:05:14,920
charge these.
95
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,470
So the the performance and reliability of the battery is really great.
96
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,360
Now what we also have is performance could be how high.
97
00:05:23,380 --> 00:05:29,950
How good is the base how how high are the highs you know in just that and then and in those overall
98
00:05:29,950 --> 00:05:32,530
effect the experience right there.
99
00:05:32,530 --> 00:05:36,120
Now compatibility this is kind of a hit or miss.
100
00:05:36,190 --> 00:05:40,330
Is it compatible with what you need for example these are only compatible ISIS.
101
00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:42,980
I'm not going to buy because guess what.
102
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:47,990
I'm an Android guy so I guess the question is is we're kind of like what are we looking for.
103
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,760
We can see through product reviews or just blog posts on the Internet.
104
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,630
Few come complaining saying I wish that there was this functionality.
105
00:05:55,730 --> 00:05:56,990
I wish there was more.
106
00:05:56,990 --> 00:05:57,560
Whatever.
107
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:04,340
So essentially we're kind of keeping our eye out for what are the utility that parts where people aren't
108
00:06:04,340 --> 00:06:05,900
necessarily happy.
109
00:06:06,140 --> 00:06:08,380
Then there is also self-expression.
110
00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:12,090
And this is where I suggest that the beginners go in and tell you why.
111
00:06:12,170 --> 00:06:12,940
Why.
112
00:06:13,010 --> 00:06:17,480
Because with functionality there's only like what maybe four things of functionality that people care
113
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,940
about.
114
00:06:18,980 --> 00:06:22,480
Some of these are apparent in a market and some aren't.
115
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:24,710
And oftentimes there's only a couple options.
116
00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:27,230
But with self-expression that's endless.
117
00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:27,940
OK.
118
00:06:28,060 --> 00:06:32,920
Now I for example like the alpaca swim shorts.
119
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,770
But you might like the gorillas.
120
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:43,500
And that's OK but what makes us great is when there's seven choices right here there's no best answer
121
00:06:43,530 --> 00:06:44,500
for anybody.
122
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,340
Everybody ends up choosing a different choice and because of that you could be right down there.
123
00:06:50,340 --> 00:06:55,250
The number six gorillas swim puts shorts because of course no one is the alpacas the best.
124
00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:02,820
But people will continue to choose the gorilla ones so I'll give you now a real life example so that
125
00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:05,520
you can make this a little bit more concrete in your head.
126
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,110
Here's an example where self expression and design is more important than functionality.
127
00:07:10,140 --> 00:07:15,270
So if we were to look up wedding gifts here and I could show you a quick there's quite a bit of revenue
128
00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:16,920
coming through wedding gifts.
129
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:17,250
All right.
130
00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:19,050
So we take a look at wedding gifts.
131
00:07:19,050 --> 00:07:23,610
It's taken a while to load because the Internet's been a dinosaur here in Germany.
132
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:29,280
There's examples look at this is doing seventy six thousand dollars of revenue of a bamboo cheese board.
133
00:07:29,310 --> 00:07:29,720
All right.
134
00:07:29,910 --> 00:07:34,860
But if we take a look at the there's obviously quite a bit of revenue on all the other choices.
135
00:07:34,860 --> 00:07:38,630
But if we take a look at these they're all different.
136
00:07:38,860 --> 00:07:39,660
And why.
137
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:44,400
Because design and self-expression is the answer in this market.
138
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,930
It's not necessarily about functionality.
139
00:07:47,010 --> 00:07:48,600
It's that self expression.
140
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,570
So you're giving a gift to somebody for their wedding.
141
00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:55,200
And it's the choice is different for everyone.
142
00:07:55,290 --> 00:08:01,320
I'm never going to buy this glass right there because I just I'm not going to give my friends a glass
143
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,710
for alcohol and I just miss always right Miss Right.
144
00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:05,290
No.
145
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,220
That's not cool not cool to me.
146
00:08:07,230 --> 00:08:08,020
Maybe it's cool to you.
147
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,180
That's OK.
148
00:08:09,180 --> 00:08:15,180
Or this you know people who love kitchen stuff or people who love wine and cheese but I'm not really
149
00:08:15,180 --> 00:08:18,910
that passionate about alcohol so where where's the one for me.
150
00:08:18,940 --> 00:08:21,270
Where's the muskrat where's the alpacas.
151
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:21,630
All right.
152
00:08:21,630 --> 00:08:22,470
There's your opportunity.
153
00:08:22,470 --> 00:08:24,850
Go build a alpaca wedding gifts.
154
00:08:24,870 --> 00:08:25,250
Just kidding.
155
00:08:25,260 --> 00:08:27,990
But I mean look we're still all here.
156
00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:30,580
This one is good except I don't have a beard.
157
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,670
It was as we're seeing this.
158
00:08:31,670 --> 00:08:32,850
They're all different.
159
00:08:32,850 --> 00:08:36,230
So you could come in and make a different Oh Legos.
160
00:08:36,270 --> 00:08:40,320
You could come in and make a different product and have an opportunity.
161
00:08:40,470 --> 00:08:43,180
So what that self-expression was important.
162
00:08:43,470 --> 00:08:46,050
Design was more important than functionality.
163
00:08:46,050 --> 00:08:49,630
And obviously it just had to meet the bare minimum of utility.
164
00:08:49,770 --> 00:08:53,390
But the most important part was that self expression.
165
00:08:53,400 --> 00:09:00,540
Now if we go in we'll take I'll just show you guys quickly where a market where utility is the only
166
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:05,970
thing that's really important and why you probably don't want to go after one of those where there's
167
00:09:06,030 --> 00:09:10,050
not many options to differentiate on utility.
168
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,880
So if we take a look at the famous pet gloves which most people who are getting beginning they always
169
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,530
think this is a great market.
170
00:09:16,590 --> 00:09:23,900
This is what I'm looking at this and I look at my framework here functionality OK.
171
00:09:23,940 --> 00:09:24,450
What's the.
172
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,440
Let's take a look at functionality.
173
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,440
What is the function that people want.
174
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,610
They want to get that fur off their hairy animal.
175
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,510
OK it looks like they're all about the same.
176
00:09:35,530 --> 00:09:43,280
So I have no way to really differentiate between these based off of functionality alone now we take
177
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,150
a look at experience what.
178
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:53,250
I don't know if any of these really have a different experience for me getting that fur off my animals.
179
00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:57,980
Another option could be reliability but they all look just about the same reliability.
180
00:09:57,990 --> 00:10:02,670
Maybe these look a little bit more reliable because the image looks like they're a little bit spike
181
00:10:02,670 --> 00:10:08,970
year and that they are just the plastics built in a little bit more but that's about it.
182
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,980
And I guess you could also make the argument that they'll have a better performance because they've
183
00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:20,220
got those high quality spikes but in the compatible I guess you know like what's the difference compatibility
184
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:27,990
maybe there's one that's more compatible with alpacas or cats or something but I mean as we look here
185
00:10:28,020 --> 00:10:32,050
I mean you could try to say or is the best one for cats but it looks the same as the other ones.
186
00:10:32,070 --> 00:10:39,480
So this is why essentially the market is decided they want to just get the fur off their animal and
187
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,290
that's it.
188
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:40,550
All right.
189
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:48,680
They're not looking to go to you know a fashion show or a party you can take the fur off their animals.
190
00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:52,420
They're just look into get a get the deed done at home.
191
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:58,200
So the summary is we want to look for places where we can add that value by looking at all of the things
192
00:10:58,230 --> 00:11:03,660
and there's just not much value to add here other than maybe an image with a different cat or animal
193
00:11:03,690 --> 00:11:05,100
but that doesn't do anything.
194
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:09,940
So now you guys have this general framework of what to look for.
195
00:11:10,140 --> 00:11:15,030
We're going to just gather as many ideas as possible and I'll show you guys ways to actually go and
196
00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:16,390
find new ideas.
197
00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:20,010
In case you run out of the ones in your head and so we'll go into that now.
