News on Youtube Nov 28 2017

what's going on guys it's Brian from BG media innovation and today I'm gonna

talk to you guys about how much Black Friday actually impacts your Amazon

sales as an Amazon seller and how much you can actually expect sales and

profits to increase you know not just on Black Friday and Cyber Monday but also

throughout the holiday season and we're starting right now all right guys

today's gonna be a really short one I kind of just wanted to touch on this

format Amazon sellers and for those of you that you know haven't taken my

retail arbitrage course already because I still feel like there's a vast

majority of people that are sleeping on this concept and I really really really

want to demonstrate the possibilities and the potentiality to make money for

it for you so we're gonna hop into it really really fast and if you don't know

already that what I'm gonna be talking about in this course I actually do do

private labeling as well which is always linked in the description if you want to

check that out I recommend Kevin David's Amazon FBA ninja course something that I

took a couple of the modules myself highly highly recommend it but this is

my retail arbitrage seller account and this is my retail arbitrage course it's

a best seller obviously there's a cyber monday sales going on right now it will

be the first link in the description enough with the plugs just kinda wanted

to bring that to your attention I wanted to talk to my Amazon sellers out there

and the people that obviously follow this channel that are doing my retail

arbitrage techniques and I'd love to hear feedback from you guys you know

what are your sales look like how did they change over Black Friday and what

do you expect today on Cyber Monday because I expect

my sales to do something similar today on Cyber Monday and we're just gonna

jump right in and I'm gonna show you what happened so if you look at my this

is obviously three of my mobile snapshots from my Amazon seller app and

this is all my Amazon a retail arbitrage seller account I have two seller

accounts one of them has three private label products and the other one is this

one which has one private label product that I've kind of just been revamping as

well as what I do my retail arbitrage on now this is not retail arbitrage like

the general sense when you think of retail arbitrage this is a new-age

obviously method of arbitrage that is somewhat online with coupon sites now

I'm not gonna get into it cuz I have a bunch of other videos on retail

arbitrage and you know how to actually implement this process and I'll actually

link them as well in the description a little bit lower if you guys want to

check them out but if you look here in this first snapshot and I did it from

mobile because it's a little bit easier to show you the daily breakdowns you can

see my sales are pretty consistent doing are a really fast you know sometimes

they're at 20 sometimes they're right around 30 generally you have some low

days here where you know I need to restock my inventory because I don't do

this as a full-time job I literally just do this in my spare

time when I want to buy items and ship them into FBA because it

can make me decent money and pretty much pay me about five grand a month as you

see here my balance is you know we'll get to this one really fast clip my

balance right here is it's only Monday and I get paid up until Thursday so that

could be right around three grand so maybe I'll make you know if my sales

can stay consistent on me maybe about six grand doing this this month just on

retail arbitrage alone it's very very easy it doesn't take a lot but I want to

show you how much Black Friday impacted my sales and how much you guys can

expect not just Black Friday but obviously and and clearly black black

threat has passed but if you're doing this today on Cyber Monday you should

see something similar with your sales because Amazon runs so many promotions

and you should really see an increase in your sales and your profits and not just

on Cyber Monday and Black Friday but obviously throughout the rest of the

holiday season because as we get into December your ship your sales should

significantly significantly increase not just with private labeling but

especially with these retail arbitrage techniques because you're kind of

piggybacking off other listings and not just you know attached to one so just to

kind of touch on that really fast you can see my sales kind of dip in and they

go up and they go down this was probably my best day in a long time I think I'd

hit one day where it was like 60 way back you know a month or two ago but

other than that they stay roughly on an average about twenty twenty-five

sometimes thirty you can see this was a good day I was like 45 but this actually

is Black Friday this spike right here and you can see that I almost hit I

think I was like 63 and I literally didn't do anything wasn't really paying

attention because I was obviously traveling if you watch my last video I

was traveling literally up and down the East Coast just visiting family for

Thanksgiving and my Black Friday sales were just ridiculous so well you can see

here that clearly I sold about I think it was like 63 or 64 units and then

obviously there was kind of a dip in the next two days where it went back down to

20 and then I think like you know maybe 15 or something like that

and today Cyber Monday where I've already sold seven it's only 1042 p.m.

and so I can expect you know a similar increase in rate of my sales on Cyber

Monday so what does that mean initially well on on Black Friday I sold roughly

about seven maybe 725 it looks like in sales so I mean that's probably at least

at least $500 profit depending on what you're selling

you know right around there at least so if you can make $500 in profit doing

this a day what are you waiting for so it's just I kind of just want to

demonstrate the uptick not just with Cyber Monday and Black Friday for you

guys but also throughout the rest of the holiday season and December and actually

January is a really good month for not just retail arbitrage without them at

the set but for Amazon selling as well and then kind of you see a slow dip in

February but the next two months are going to be huge if you haven't taken

advantage of this retail arbitrage method yet you should hop on it I'm

telling you I've been preaching this for a while but I still feel like people are

sleeping on it some people took advantage of it and some people did not

but if you haven't checked out my retail arbitrage course check the first link in

the description I'm telling you I do I don't just say this stuff I don't just

teach it I literally do it myself and I don't even do it that like I don't scale

it up at all so you can see here that you know I'm roughly sitting around

maybe this will hit like 3000 maybe I'll hit like 3,200 I don't really know all

depends on how much I sell in the next couple days before Thursday and how many

how many items Amazon actually ships before them but I'm telling you guys you

can earn maybe five grand a month maybe you know if you really want to scale it

up you can earn ten I have somebody in my course right now that I know of

that's earning about eight eight five a month and you know obviously they scaled

it up slightly but I don't I'm telling you it's not hard it doesn't take a lot

of effort whatsoever and you can definitely do it yourself I've it

literally step-by-step walkthrough in the course so today obviously I'm

plugging the course a lot I think that you know not only I don't make much

money selling my course guys it's literally ten bucks if you go through my

link and I think I'm making nine bucks off that because udemy takes like a

dollar or something like that so I don't make a lot of money

I'm literally this whole channel is revolving around me trying to teach

people that you know it it's not that difficult to make money online if you

just think outside the box so I developed these methods kind of and then

I bring them to you guys and I kind of wanted to show you and not just talk

about it but demonstrate you know the process and the results that I get doing

these methods so that you guys not just you know don't just hear it but you

actually see it and you see tangible proof like you see right here so I'm

telling you you know cyber monday obviously if you haven't hopped on

worse yet it's gonna pass you by we won't be able to take an advantage of it

but this is just a microcosm of what you can expect to earn in the coming month

or two as December in January in the holiday season hits hard so take

advantage of this you can start buying products if you buy the course and you

go through it you start buying products you know as early as tomorrow

realistically and then you can ship them into FBI in like two three days and

start making money and accumulating your balance and get paid out in a week or

two you know depending on the payment period but I'm telling you guys I'm

telling you guys I'm telling you guys take advantage of this right now because

I'm not sure I'm honestly not sure you know how long there's not gonna be that

much competition in this area a lot of people have been buying my course I

think I've roughly sold and of course I exit out of it let's go back and really

fast not even sure how many people are actually in this course I never used

Firefox is so slow retail arbitrage and obviously I am ranked SEO wise retail

arbitrage which is ideal but that's not you know a little bit beyond the scope

of this video and boom there we go so sick about six thousand people have

enrolled in this course now I'm not I'm willing to say that six thousand people

clearly don't take advantage of the methods that I teach in this course

because a lot of people learn but they don't take action on it I probably know

of about a good fifty maybe a hundred people that are implementing this and

making money that I've taught you can beat a hundred and first you could be

the fifty first and I'm telling you there's literally millions of Amazon

sellers you have no competition there's no competition here so take advantage of

this I kind of just wanted to touch on this for you guys because you can make a

lot of money this holiday season doing this method hop on this first link in

the description I'm gonna end it here but before I do if you if you are

practicing this because I know a lot of people that follow this channel have

already actually taken advantage of this course and are implementing these

methods I'd love to hear your feedback from it you know obviously what do you

think of this course not just because I want to hear it but clearly your

comments will demonstrate you know some social proof of other people that have

taken the course and are implementing the strategies and are making money

doing it but not just that because I want to I want to touch and converse

with other sellers and kind of see you know heavier sales spiked heavier sales

increased or you know relatively the same throughout

Black Friday and you know maybe we can touch on the reason that that happened

and you know I really kinda just want to hear feedback from other Amazon sellers

I'm always interested you know in new innovative methods and you know

different people and different approaches to the same problems so I'm

gonna end the video here I hope that you guys have a wonderful Cyber Monday go

out and buy some stuff I probably will that's what makes the economy wonderful

and you know kind of makes everything go around but you know obviously like the

video it really helps the channel grow and really helps engagement on the video

come and subscribe and I will see you guys tomorrow

How to Profit From the Metals Bull Market | Rick Rule Real Vision Video - Duration: 2:17.

The generalist investors weigh early in a bull market, which is where I think we are.

Buying the biggest and the best is the best strategy.

The truth is that metals markets are so volatile and so cyclical that it's not unusual to

enjoy threefold gains over the course of a bull market in the biggest and best entities

in the market.

If you can enjoy threefold gains with, at least from

a sector point of view, fairly minimal risk, the idea that investors that

aren't willing to take the time to do the work to go farther down the quality chain,

the returns to them relative to the risk that they would take without doing

the work are minimal.

So the names, if you believe in the copper cycle-- which I do-- would be names like BHP

and Rio, the first names that you would come to.

And from a generalist investor's point of view for the next two years, I don't see any

particular reason to do anything beyond those two names.

For industry investors-- that is, people who are willing to do the work, people who understand

how to evaluate mining company balance sheets and income statements,

and have access, at least, to technical information-- there's more money to be made in the smaller

companies, and better money to be made in the private debt

markets associated with the copper space.

But I think for probably half the viewers of Real Vision, the truth is that there's

going to be fairly easy money to be made over the cycle in the biggest and

best companies in the sector without the volatility and the occasional

heartache that you'd suffer in more challenging but more lucrative names.

I, of course, will ignore that advice, and take the more challenging names.

Discover how to use your camera's ISO to take great and better baby pictures - Duration: 12:37.

Discover how to use your camera's ISO

to take great baby pictures

In this video I will explain what ISO is

and how you can use it with digital baby photography

Back in the day before digital cameras were used

ASA film was used

When we wanted to take great baby pictures in the light of day

we would usually use an ASA 100 photo film

When the Sun went down

We would have to change it to the ASA 400 photo film

Nowadays everything is digital and so is your photo camera

That is why in digital photography ASA

has been replaced by ISO

When you're in a dark bedroom at night

you won't see much because there is hardly any light

If you stay in that room for a while

your eyes will adjust to the dark

and you'll find it easier to clearly see your surroundings

How does that work?

The little light that does enter the bedroom enters through your eyes

Your brain notices the lack of light

and will amplify the small amount of light that is available

so you can see something in the dark

Your camera works in the same way

In a photo camera the light will enter through the lens

If there's little light the camera can amplify the light

so that you can still clearly see the subject

You are now shown two pictures

The left baby picture is taken without the camera amplifying the available light

You can see that the picture is dark

The baby picture on the right on the other hand

has been taken when the camera has amplified the light

Do you notice the difference?

Your brain amplifies the light

This doesn't happen consciously it happens automatically

If there is too little your brain automatically amplifies the light

In a photo camera a computer inside your camera amplifies the light

If there is too little light

the computer in your camera will automatically amplify the light

The computer in your photo camera is not nearly as advanced as your brain

A photo camera doesn't know how exactly you want to take a picture

That's why your camera is equipped with a setting

so you can manually tell your camera

how much you want the light to be amplified

The setting in your camera to set this information with is called ISO

ISO is expressed in a value

For example: ISO 100

ISO 200

ISO 400

ISO 800, etcetera, etcetera

The higher the ISO the more your camera will amplify the light

This is not an exact science but you can usually say that with

ISO 100: the light does not get amplified

ISO 200: the light gets amplified 2 times

ISO 400: the light gets amplified 4 times

So the higher your ISO the more the light gets amplified

You now see an example of a baby picture in a dark bedroom

that has been taken with an ISO 100

The light in this picture is not amplified by the camera

which makes the picture look dark

In this example the same baby picture is taken with ISO 200

So in this picture the camera has amplified the light 2 times

Did you notice that this picture already looks somewhat lighter?

In this example the same baby picture is taken again

This time with ISO 400

So in this picture the camera has amplified the light 4 times

Do you notice how well exposed this picture is despite the lack of light

On a beautiful day

there will be enough light outside to take a great baby picture

If the camera is set to ISO 100

you will get a well exposed baby picture

This baby picture was taken outside on a sunny day

with ISO 100

You now see the same baby picture

taken outside on a sunny day with two different ISO values

The first baby picture is taken with ISO 100

and the second baby picture is taken with ISO 400

In the second picture the light was amplified

and the picture is clearly overexposed

On a cloudy day there won't be enough natural light

to take a great baby picture

To be able to still take a well exposed baby picture

you could set the camera to ISO 400

The image sensor now gets exposed to light that is amplified 4 times

so you still get a well exposed baby picture

You are now looking at a picture taken outside on a cloudy day

using two different ISO values

The first baby picture is taken with ISO 100

and the second baby picture is taken with ISO 400

In the first picture the light did not get amplified

and this picture is clearly underexposed

If you use the flash your flash will provide the necessary light

to take a well exposed baby picture

When using the flash enough light is provided

so it is not necessary to increase the ISO in a normal situation

You are now looking at a baby picture that is taken with a flash on

and with ISO 100

The downsides to using the flash for your pictures is that it lacks warmth

and the colors are often hard

Now you see the same baby picture taken without a flash

and with ISO 400

Do you notice the difference in comparison to the previous picture?

To be able to take a well colored and natural baby picture

you can turn off the flash and increase the ISO to 400

to ensure a well exposed baby picture

There is always something called picture noise in a photo

Noise in photos looks like grains or spots

At ISO 100 this noise is usually invisible to the human eye

You are now shown baby pictures taken with ISO 100

ISO 200

and ISO 400

Do you notice the difference between ISO 100 and ISO 400?

In the ISO 100 part the noise is invisible

because the light is not amplified

At ISO 400 the light gets amplified 4 times

The normally invisible noise also gets amplified 4 times

Because the noise gets amplified 4 times

it might be visible in your picture

Every camera treats noise in a different way

Whether or not the noise will be visible in your baby pictures

depends on the type of camera you have

The only way to figure out at which ISO you will see noise in your pictures

is by experimentation

If there is too little light

your camera is able to amplify the available light

The setting which allows you to set

how much you want the light to be amplified is called ISO

ISO is expressed in a value

The ISO value

It is not exact science

but general rule of thumb in regards to light amplication of the ISO

is as follows:

ISO 100: the light does not get amplified

ISO 200: the light gets amplified 2 times

ISO 400: the light gets amplified 4 times

There is always noise present in a photo

which is usually invisible to the human eye

When you increase the ISO

you don't just amplify the light

you also amplify the noise

The higher the setting of the ISO

the higher your chances of having visible noise in your photo

Now you know what ISO is

and how you can use it when taking beautiful baby photos

Before you set the ISO while taking baby pictures

It is a good idea to first practice with it

1. Find out how to set the ISO on your camera

2. Grab a doll or a teddy bear

3. Take pictures of the doll or teddy bear indoors with different ISO's

4. Take pictures of the same situation with ISO 100

ISO 200

ISO 400

and if relevant ISO 800

5. Look at the pictures on your computer

and pay special attention to the difference in exposure and noise

6. Repeat this exercise with the doll or teddy bear outside

7. Take pictures of the doll or teddy bear with varying ISO's outdoors

8. Take pictures of the same situation with ISO 100

ISO 200

ISO 400

and if relevant ISO 800

9. Look at the pictures on your computer

and pay special attention to the difference in exposure and noise

10. Make sure to practice

so that you know how the ISO influences your pictures in each situation

Once you are totally familiar with it

you can use the ISO setting with confidence

while taking your own baby pictures

Important: don't forget to check your ISO before each photo session

You won't be the first person to find out

afterwards that you have a lot of noise in your pictures

because the ISO was still too high

Ask Admissions: How much time will my child be in class versus out of class? - Duration: 1:22.

How much time will my child be in class versus out of class? So your child is

going to take a certain number of credit hours each semester, and the average

number of credit hours ranges somewhere from about 12 to 15. What that means

is that your child will actually be in the classroom for about 12 to 15 hours

each week, so when they were in high school they likely took the same classes

every day. They were probably there from about 7:30 to 3:00 or some variation of

that. But now that they're in college, they're going to be taking a different

class at different times each day, but often times no more than about 12, 15, 18

credit hours. A typical class ranges from about 3 to 5 credit hours, so you're

looking at somewhere between 4 to 6 classes each semester. And that's great,

given that the college experience is intended to be a holistic development of

your students abilities and skills. So for example, at Illinois we offer over

1,000 registered student organizations in which students can get involved in

and participate, anything from the squirrel watchers to the Quidditch team,

to sports to fraternities and sororities. So there's a lot of opportunities for

students to get involved and get actual hands-on experiences that also includes

internships through the career service center.

Discover how to use the aperture of your camera to take beautiful baby pictures - Duration: 10:39.

Discover how to use the aperture of your camera to make beautiful baby pictures

In this tutorial I will teach you what aperture is

and how you can use it to make great baby pictures

Look such a pretty and cute baby picture

Notice how good the lighting on the baby is

and how the baby appears sharp in the foreground

while the background is nice and blurry

You can achieve this result by setting the aperture of your camera manually

Before I tell you how to do that

and how you yourself can take great baby pictures like this

I will first explain to you what the aperture is

A camera can be compared to your own head

Think about this

A camera has a lens

A lens works the same way as your eye

A camera has an aperture

In your eye that's called the pupil

A camera has an image sensor which registers the image

In your head the image is registered by your brain

Simply put the aperture of your camera is the light opening in your lens

The aperture determines how much light will enter through the lens

and onto the image sensor of your camera

So the aperture of your camera works similarly to the pupil of your eye

Aperture can change size

and determines how much light can enter into your camera

If there is a lot of light

your pupil will shrink to prevent too much light coming into your eye

On the other hand if there is very little light

your pupil will enlarge to let more light in

Aperture works the same way

If a lot of light is present

the aperture in the lens will shrink

to make sure that your camera will not pick up too much light

If there's very little light

the aperture in the lens will enlarge

to allow more light to enter into your camera

Let's look at a couple of examples

These cute baby pictures were taken at night

inside and in the dark

As you can tell from the picture there isn't much light present

If you want to take a great baby picture at night or in the dark

it is recommended that you use the large aperture setting

The larger aperture will allow more light to enter into the camera

Which is desirable because there is not much light available

If you don't use a flash

your camera will automatically use a larger aperture at night

to allow enough light to enter the camera

This will ensure that a well-lit picture can still be taken

even in the dark

These baby pictures were taken outside during the day

To take pretty baby pictures during the day

you want to use a smaller aperture

because there is usually sufficient light available during the day

a smaller aperture will ensure that too much light won't enter your camera

If you want to take nice baby pictures on a very sunny day

It's best to use a very small aperture

It's necessary so that too much light won't enter into your camera

On a sunny day your camera will automatically use a smaller aperture

to prevent too much light from entering the camera

and to prevent overexposed baby pictures

Aperture is designated with the letter F and a number

As you can see

a big aperture has a big opening and is designated with a small number

Vice-versa

a small aperture has a small opening

and is designated with a big number

This is what aperture looks like at F1.4, F10 and F22

The smaller the F-number the bigger the opening of the aperture

So at F1.4 the aperture is open wide

For aperture

the smaller the F-number the bigger the opening of the aperture

The bigger the F-number the smaller the opening of the aperture

When taking baby pictures

aperture does not only influence the amount of light

that comes into the camera

But it also influences the sharpness of the items in the pictures

Let's take a look at how

you can influence the amount of sharpness in a baby picture

You've probably seen a picture like this somewhere

The baby in the picture is sharp and the background is blurry

Rather similar to the picture at the beginning of this tutorial

Do you see the difference with this picture?

In this picture the baby is sharp as well as the background

You can influence the amount of sharpness in the picture with aperture

This is also known as depth of field of a picture

In baby photography

it can be really cool and worth your time to experiment with this

The depth of field of a baby picture is the depth in a picture that is sharp

In a picture with a lot of depth of field

The items in both the foreground and the background are sharp

A picture with little depth of field

has a subject in the foreground that is sharp

and a blurry background

You can influence the depth of fields of your baby picture

by changing your aperture

This rule is important to remember

The number of your aperture

is related to the amount of sharpness in your picture

If you set the aperture on a low number

you will have the sharpness on a small part of your picture

If you set the aperture on a high number

a big area of your picture will be sharp

Let's take a look at the different aperture settings

If you set your aperture at F2.8

then only the subject of your photo will be sharp

and everything around it will be blurry

If you set the aperture at F8

your entire picture will probably be sharp

The setting possibilities of aperture are different for every lens

Often the reach of aperture is written on the front of the lens

In this case it says F3.5 through 9

In other words

This lens cannot be set smaller than F3.5

and cannot be set higher than F9

Aperture is the light opening of your camera lens

and it determines how much light

the image sensor of your camera is exposed to through the lens

In case of a lot of light you use a small aperture

and in case of very little light you use a larger aperture

The aperture is marked with the letter F followed by a number

A large aperture has a big opening and a small F number

The depth of field of your pictures can be determined by using the aperture

If you set your aperture at a small number

a small area of your picture will be sharp

If you set the aperture at a big number

a large area of your picture will be sharp

Now you know what aperture is

and how you can use it to take great baby pictures

it's time to start practicing

Figure out how you can set the aperture on your camera

Find a spot with subjects at different distances from you and your camera

Take pictures from this location with different aperture settings

Pay attention to the difference in sharpness

blurriness and the exposure of your pictures

Then find a subject that is close to you and has a lot of space behind it

Try to adjust the aperture in such a way that the subject is sharp

and the background is fully blurry

This will isolate your subject from the background

Now do the same thing but in reverse

Find a spot with a view

and take a picture of your baby in the foreground

Set your aperture in a way that both your baby

and the background are sharp

Use this setting

if the background is important for the story that you want to tell
