In business, there is no room for ego. Once you clean the ego, you already increase your chances to succeed. You like 50 60%. Why do so many small sellers feel like they can't keep up with the big brands? Great question. I think it's actually. Hello and welcome to another episode of the E-commerce Coffee Break podcast. Ever feel like your store is getting crushed by the big brands?
00;00;24;08 - 00;00;45;07
Unknown
You're not alone. Today we're talking about data driven strategies that help small sellers spot winners, optimize listing and scale without guessing or wasting time. Joining me is not hockey. He is the e-commerce intermediary and founder of analytics from a small eBay Dropshipping store to helping over 300,000 sellers grow their business. Now he knows what it takes to win online.
00;00;45;09 - 00;01;02;16
Unknown
We have a lot to cover, so let's get started now. Welcome to the show. Thank you very much. It's a pleasure being here today. The topic that we have picked for this podcast, it's amazing. I think this is where a lot of people struggle with. So I'm very happy to be delivering value and helping people in this area.
00;01;02;18 - 00;01;27;22
Unknown
Yeah, it's that simple. Why do so many small sellers feel like they can't keep up with the big brands? Great question. I think it's actually starting from a mindset problem and people give themself excuses when they are, you know, getting started. They always say, Oh, this is too saturated orders to do much competition. And the deep reason for it is people are afraid to succeed.
00;01;27;23 - 00;02;01;00
Unknown
People have fear to take the responsibility of becoming successful. So I think the first step is fixing your mindset. And I think this is where, you know, you people need to to make the biggest switch. Once you fix your mindset and you believe that you can actually do it. You just need to find a way. This is also when you start looking for solutions, looking for ways to be better than your competitors, even if they're a big brand or a large store who couldn't agree more than this because the mindset is so important and fix a mindset.
00;02;01;02 - 00;02;21;23
Unknown
Data helps a lot there because if you look into data, you see defects. It makes it so much easier because what your gut feeling is, is probably not the right idea and what's really happening in the market. What are the biggest mistakes that sellers make when they are trying to grow without data, without facts? Yes. So I will link these questions to the first questions.
00;02;21;23 - 00;02;48;00
Unknown
And I we are we give a deeper answer for both at the time. So the biggest mistake sellers or new sellers are doing is they're starting by becoming with their own ideas and their own opinions about products without relying any of those ideas on data. And because they love shoes or they love cosmetics or they love any any any kind of product, they think that this is what they need to sell.
00;02;48;00 - 00;03;13;01
Unknown
So they spend time listing those products through their stores and eventually seeing that there is no sales, there are no sales at all. But the way to solve the way to to overcome this mistake and also with link to the first questions is to beat your your big competitors is to rely on data instead of being biased to anything, we should be neutral.
00;03;13;02 - 00;03;32;09
Unknown
I used to say in the webinars to people that in business there is no room for ego. Once you clean the ego, you already increase your chances to succeed in like 50 60%. So the same when you approach product research, when you approach e-commerce, whether it is dropshipping, selling your own product, building your own brand can be on any marketplace.
00;03;32;09 - 00;04;00;03
Unknown
It doesn't matter. It's all about relying on that up. Once you start to rely on that and to find the ways, the tools, the strategies to to analyze your market, your competitors, the products that you want to sell, this is where you start to find opportunity. And there you should act as a detective. Detective It's a great metaphor because, you know, detectives, when they go into a crime scene, they look for all the clues, right?
00;04;00;03 - 00;04;35;09
Unknown
They look for all the signs that can help them find them, whether it is the criminal, the murder or whatever. So in product research is the same. Now, if you take the offline world versus the online world, this is where you see the big advantage online sellers have why the data is fully transparent. You can get access to that that on every marketplace, sales history, reviews, prices and products that other competitors are selling.
00;04;35;11 - 00;05;10;27
Unknown
And of course, the visual aspect of things that which features how to look like the colors, the materials and all this kind of thing. So because you have this access to data, this game becoming a lot easier, but also a lot funner. So if you approach it as a game and you understand, okay, now I'm a detective and I need to find those clues, find the signs, find the opportunities to where I can bring in added value, or I can differentiate my product from a competitor product, I can increase the click trade, all those kind of things.
00;05;10;27 - 00;05;29;04
Unknown
I can have a better pricing, etc.. This what will make the difference in the end? This is what I would say the opposite of the biggest mistake people do in all certain related to beating your competitors. I like the approach of thinking you're a detective there. So for our listeners, we have a whole range of people who have just started.
00;05;29;04 - 00;05;43;29
Unknown
We have people that were doing this for a while. For somebody who was completely new to data, where should they start? Because there's so much data, there's so many tools out there that might be just confusing. So what's the best starting point? Of course. So I of course I would be biased and I would say starting Zeek Analytics.
00;05;44;05 - 00;06;12;00
Unknown
But let's look at it from your perspective in there. We need systems, not just tools. We need to build system. We need to to, to build a system that will from habits. So of course, if you just come to the industry and you just want to start your business and you look all around the all over the Internet and you see so many tools, so many suggestions, so many mentors, everyone teach something else, it's a little bit overwhelming.
00;06;12;00 - 00;06;39;20
Unknown
I understand I've been there as well. When I started, it was the same things. There were less tools, but still a lot of people discussed about different methods and different ideas. The first thing is to find the focus is to find one system that you want to focus on and clean all the distractions around you. If you go to, for example, tools such as Zeek Analytics, there are a lot of training videos, webinars and and training that give you the system.
00;06;39;22 - 00;07;01;00
Unknown
At the same time. You don't even need to go to a tool. You can find a mentor, you can find that you can, you can buy a course, everything transparent. Those are about courses and mentors and tools. You can see reviews everywhere today. You can really know if you're going to buy a course that worth the money. Join a close group that worth the money or subscribe people to that work the money or not.
00;07;01;00 - 00;07;36;12
Unknown
Everything is there. So pick one thing, stick to it. First of all, learn system. Build those habits from those habits that will make you familiar with with product research, with data analysis. Once you mastery, this is where you will find the room to bring your own opinion, your own ideas. And again, going back to the ego thing, don't come up and force your own ideas after you know, after you watch one video, one drink.
00;07;36;14 - 00;07;57;23
Unknown
My suggestion stick to a workflow, execute it blindly. Trust your mentors. One of the things that they used to say, and that changed my life, was that when I got started, I, I join a close group and I just, you know, I closed my eyes. I had the experience coming from a life coaching, training, being a life coach, being realistic.
00;07;57;23 - 00;08;24;07
Unknown
So all this experience helped me and I knew that my only way to succeed is to close my eyes and only focus on the world on the workflow, not let any distractions change After I execute it properly as it should be executed, then I can start analyzing reverse engineering. Worked out. It didn't work out exit. So I have one little story about it, which is from from the Is World.
00;08;24;09 - 00;08;54;02
Unknown
From the time I was an estate agent where following you know and trusting your mentors has changed my whole my whole business experience in 2015 I believe Yeah I returned I returned back to my country and I decided to go into risk because I wanted to start a business that has nothing to do with holding venture. I had I had a bad experience with businesses holding inventory.
00;08;54;02 - 00;09;13;17
Unknown
One of them was in Germany that one was in Israel and I bought a lot of stock and started the business and I lost a lot of money. So my my mind set me on a place where, okay, find a way to make money without the risk of having inventory. So I the idea of starting a business came to my mind.
00;09;13;17 - 00;09;40;03
Unknown
I started as an estate agent. I joined an office in Tel Aviv and I started work. The first one months I was going running between houses, you know, giving 1% of myself. But there were I had no results, no results. And my boss at the time, the owner of the office, he was like maybe six years old. The 55 year old guy with tons of experience in e-commerce in a sorry in real estate.
00;09;40;05 - 00;10;00;00
Unknown
And he came to me and told me, Look, now I see that you work very hard, but I have to tell you something, we stayed is a lot about building relationship fast relationship with people. You have a short time, you meet the personal interest in buying apartment or setting apartment. You need to they need to very quickly feel very comfortable with you.
00;10;00;02 - 00;10;22;01
Unknown
And you have a great name, The name the heart. It's a great name, but it's a little bit complicated for people. For the first time now in Hebrew in Arms River, it's very unusual name. So it can make people feel awkward for the first meeting up. So he told me, Change your name to New. Call yourself New. I was like, What?
00;10;22;01 - 00;10;46;10
Unknown
Why? This guy asked me to change my name to new. Why should they change? Immediately? My ego came, you know, Why should I change my name? Same day I went, I drove back to my apartment and when I came to enter the building, there was an older guy sitting there, very positive guy that I knew that was working in the laundromat, and he was looking at me.
00;10;46;11 - 00;11;04;27
Unknown
Tell me now what happened to you? You look up since everything right? And I was you know, I've been working so hard for months, trying my best, didn't have any result. And my and my boss came to me and telling me that I need to change my name. So he asked me, How long is your boss doing wasting volume?
00;11;05;01 - 00;11;31;13
Unknown
I don't know. 30 years, maybe 35 years. So why don't why wouldn't you take His advice is telling me and I'm like, you know what? I'm going to do it. I came back the day after I told him, okay, Victor, I'm ready to be near this moment. I changed my name, introduced myself as Nero. Six months later, I became the number one agent in the office, sold the house, rented the house listings.
00;11;31;13 - 00;11;51;28
Unknown
Welcome. At the point from the story is that leave aside the ego, find the mentor and do everything he says, Find the system and follow this system because there are so many destruction. And if you will not follow one system until you get the point, you will never reach you to this level where you understand how the market works.
00;11;51;28 - 00;12;15;29
Unknown
And it's the same with anything. So that's my point in my story about this. But this importance, I totally love this story. It shows you that focus is key and experience is key and experience you get by mentors, by role models. But people who have done this very, very long now, you have been on the journey, as you mentioned, in e-commerce from scratch for quite some time, and you started with analytics.
00;12;16;05 - 00;12;42;06
Unknown
Tell me about the story. How did you decide from getting out into ecommerce and looking at the analytics side of things? Sure. So in 2016, I moved to Germany. I tried to the state in Germany, but very quickly I understand with my level of German language I have no chance. So I look for alternatives and I came across Dropshipping and eBay Dropshipping.
00;12;42;09 - 00;13;09;14
Unknown
And first I was actually pretty skeptical about it. I even made fun of my friend who started starting eBay Dropshipping But they had one moment that they made that shift was a paradigm shift in my mind where on the I visited in Israel and all the way back to the airport, they went to my estate, to the estate office where I was meeting this guy, Viktor, the owner of the office, and he was asking me how it is going in Germany.
00;13;09;14 - 00;13;30;13
Unknown
And I told him, yeah, I, I and I tried to do is stay, but it's not working out. And then he's looking at me, you know, with all his experience of, of utilizing opportunities and he looking at me and he said to me, look, nah, forget about revisiting Germany. You have no chance with your accent. No, I'm going to look to your direction.
00;13;30;15 - 00;13;53;00
Unknown
The only things you can do is sell something online. And he had no idea that I already heard about eBay dropshipping before, but once I hear it from him, a person with so much experience in understanding, like in identifying opportunity, these things clicked. I came back to Germany. I told to my wife, Look, I have an idea. I'm going to start Dropshipping, but I don't have a computer.
00;13;53;00 - 00;14;16;16
Unknown
I need you to loan the money to buy a laptop. So she loaned me the money. I bought the laptop and I was just from morning till evening, studying and learning about Dropshipping. I joined. I joined this closed group and I just followed the strategies start listing products. I came across an outdoor seller that were already longer timing their in the community and it was pretty successful at the time.
00;14;16;18 - 00;14;35;03
Unknown
And I can't I can forget the first two months they barely sold anything and he's coming to and he's coming to me and he's telling me, you know, how try to sell this product. And he's saying, this friend and I need this product to my store. At the time I was dropshipping from Amazon to eBay, at least a part to my store.
00;14;35;06 - 00;14;57;11
Unknown
And like 35 minutes later, maybe one hour later, I hear the teaching from the eBay. I'm running through the computer, I see the product. So I see how it's possible that fast. Then again, again, again. So five time I went to Amazon to order the product. After the third time I ordered the product for Amazon. I cannot order this product anymore.
00;14;57;13 - 00;15;18;04
Unknown
There is a limitation on how much you can order this product. And this is when I realized how to to think demand and supply in e-commerce because there is the guy the seller gave me this product because there is a limited amount of orders. So he felt free to tell me they tried. He wanted me to see for me how the stores are working.
00;15;18;04 - 00;15;37;28
Unknown
And also he even felt like it's a competition because the anyway limited for how much you can see. But I realize it because the supply is limited. The products are selling so fast because there is more demand and supply. So I started digging in eBay and looking where I can see demand, where I can see demand and supply.
00;15;37;28 - 00;16;03;24
Unknown
So I was doing manually through eBay and checking each finding of product, searching the title inside eBay, seeing the results, calculating one by one how many similar products are in the results going inside each product, calculating the sales history, and then things that look out. I start listing products this way, finding a seller, spotting all the winning products, checking one by one, listing maybe 7 to 15 products a day.
00;16;03;27 - 00;16;26;02
Unknown
After eight months, I made $5,000 in profit around $50,000 revenue, and I realized, okay, I figure out something here. I looked around in the community, all what other sellers did was just copy pasting at Furnace from Amazon to eBay. So yeah, it's looking I have something, I have a system in my hands and this is also linked to what we discussed before.
00;16;26;05 - 00;16;44;22
Unknown
I have a system in my now. How can they automate it? How can I speed it up? How can they make a tool that even better data, faster results and can turn all this gain into a habit forming process where I can just keep finding products on it? And this is how the idea of Zeek Analytics game. So it's all came from hands on experience.
00;16;44;24 - 00;17;07;18
Unknown
And then we start building the tool. I found a developer, we become partners and we launched the tool in 2017 and since then we've just added features and features and updated features and then turn it into a all in one market research tool. We also added Shopify into the platform, so you can also do competitor analysis and Shopify and etc..
00;17;07;20 - 00;17;32;10
Unknown
So yeah, that's the start. That's the full start. I love the story that is really bringing up a solution out of an actual experience, out of an actual problem and bringing this to the market. Now you have it was hundreds of thousands of sellers out there. For our listeners who are new to the analytics, give me a quick overview about the features and how the day to day life looks for them when working with the analytics.
00;17;32;12 - 00;17;53;03
Unknown
Sure. So first of all, it's questions what is your sell? It sells channel, whether it is eBay or Shopify. Even if you said on Amazon you or not a marketplace, you can still utilize the data from those platforms because they are huge and you know, the keywords and the private selling on eBay or on Shopify may also sell very well on Amazon.
00;17;53;06 - 00;18;17;16
Unknown
Of course, you need to also check that out, but it starts from the starting. First question is, are you selling on eBay or are you selling in Shopify? Are you drop shipper or are you inventory? Every one of those type of sellers can utilize it different. The main key tools in Zeek are the competitor research tool, the product research tool, the Product Explorer, the category research and the keyword research tool.
00;18;17;21 - 00;18;44;06
Unknown
These are the main tools on eBay. On the Shopify site, we have Sales Tracker, which is a competitor research tool and product Explorer in-store. Find them where you can find stores and see what they're saying. So the whole idea is the same on both, on both plans, on both platforms. The idea is to from a habit of doing research daily, finding competitors, saving them to your list.
00;18;44;08 - 00;19;14;20
Unknown
So you build a list of competitors who are using the same suppliers like you or use are in the same niche or industry like you. So you can keep visit them on a weekly basis and get new ideas from them about what's selling, what not in what pricing cetera. The second part is if you're a drop shopper, is to always find the the source products or whether it is AliExpress, Amazon and Walmart or you source from Alibaba or something like this.
00;19;14;20 - 00;19;42;06
Unknown
So find the source products. Make the full calculation to see that the product that you found is in profit. So let's say the product on eBay sell for $100. You find the AliExpress version for $70 for $50. Now you can sell it for $97, $3 cheaper than your competitor, but still make profit, for example. Okay, So then the next step it is to save those personal folders.
00;19;42;06 - 00;20;12;04
Unknown
You have a whole system. It's to save your products, do folders, and then list those products through your store. This is when it comes to eBay, and then you just have to repeat every day. Everything I would add on top of it is suggestions for me. Once in a in a week, twice in a week. Also do niche research to find more in-depth like more stronger opportunities because copy pasting products from sellers, it's one way, which is it's work really well and gives you the volume.
00;20;12;06 - 00;20;36;04
Unknown
But when you do niche research, when you analyze a niche, when you analyze the products to the level of features, colors, sizes, materials, and then you go to your suppliers and you find something that can have a better advantage, more features, different color, better material, a bundle, just look better, etc. Then you can bring it to the market.
00;20;36;07 - 00;21;03;19
Unknown
And even if you go to a competitive price, you are still creating disruption. You're still differentiate yourself from the competitor. You are unique and you're able to sell this product very well. So I would spend like 4 hours a week for niche research and then the rest of the week for just spying on competitors, growing the list, the database of competitors and just keep list adding and listing products to my store every day when it comes to Shopify is a little bit different.
00;21;03;19 - 00;21;27;13
Unknown
Why? First of all, there there are a few different business models in Shopify when you dropship on Shopify and if you're a drop shipper. So there are like a one product store, there's so many need to just find one pair and then niche stores and then you can also dropship fashion products and stuff. If it's a one product store, you research for one product, you find this one product.
00;21;27;13 - 00;22;03;24
Unknown
So the process, the habit that you build is the same. You go, you find competitors, you find stores, you analyze them, you you then check the source prices on your supplier. Make sure the calculation is right. Find a way to to outrank the the competitor in terms of, you know, product, visual copy on the website, branding, etc.. And then you launch this product and then you can add extra products, which again, even for adding bundles, I would still use that analytics to analyze, find products that you can just add from your mind.
00;22;03;24 - 00;22;23;19
Unknown
You can be biased or you can rely on that. Right? And that's the first. If you have one product store, I would say I would only suggest don't go for one, find one product, launch the store, then another one that you have to try at least ten products until you find one winner. If you are lucky, you, you find it on the first one, but most likely it's not going to work.
00;22;23;21 - 00;22;49;24
Unknown
So that's one. It's one product. So if you have a niche store, then of course you keep finding product, keep analyzing competitors all the time, the same process and finding all the competitors in your niche. See what they are selling, what are the best selling products, and then just do everything you can to have better branding, better content, better prices, more bundles, more options, things they don't have, or just better than what they have.
00;22;49;26 - 00;23;11;15
Unknown
And if it's fashion, it's basically the same process, just about fashion. And now let's discuss inventory sellers in both areas, inventory sellers, the whole process is a bit slower because the sourcing art can take time. It's not like we drop Dropshipping Oh, I find these products. Okay, let's get it from AliExpress, put it in the store. Okay, so in the sourcing process you need to give more time.
00;23;11;15 - 00;23;51;27
Unknown
You need to, to analyze deeper. You need to do to do a lot more validations before you invest in stock because stock is a it's a capital investment. So I would say beside find competitors, run category and product research to understand what the entire nation is doing, to understand what is strongest players in the in the category, what price they have, and then make sure that the product you bring every unique selling proposition must have must have a unique selling proposition, whether it is in the feature, the color, again, like I said, or just in the branding, you need to have the unique selling proposition because otherwise you will spend a lot of money buying
00;23;51;27 - 00;24;15;23
Unknown
your product, then trying to compete with someone with a lot more experience and know about what about you? First questions that we link it to it because this is where personally this is where I utilize Zika analytics for my stories the most is where I found those windows of opportunities in specific niche niches and then I exploited it.
00;24;15;25 - 00;24;35;29
Unknown
Let me give you an example. Once they listed a radio scanner in the United States, it's very common to have those radio scanners where you can listen to the police in the house. It's a niche. I had no clue about it initially the people ordered these radio scanners and then they just listened to the police, like what's happening with the police.
00;24;36;01 - 00;25;01;23

So those radio scanners, I listen to the radio scanners and he starts singing very well. I went to eBay. I search the title in the product usage of Zika. And I looked on the results and I saw that I am the only one selling this brand with this specific title. Plus there is only few, like the three versions, like different models and all of them black car.
00;25;01;25 - 00;25;23;12

I went back to Amazon. I search for the same thing. So I did the whole mystery research, the same on my supplier on Amazon and I've seen wow, there are so many colors, so many bundles, pack of five, pack of two with extra batteries with long antenna and camouflage color, red color, orange color, yellow color brands. Sorry, models did not even exist on eBay.
00;25;23;15 - 00;25;51;19

So what I did, I took this state that differentiate me from all the compact competitors, which were the competitors were very technical. They use the brand name and all this thing. And I only use radio scanner, police transmitter and some other keywords. So I took it. I brought all the other products from Amazon one by one. I put the title on them and they just added the difference like yellow, red, extra batteries, five pack and all those, all those kind of things.
00;25;51;21 - 00;26;15;14

And I started, listen, what happened is that this window of opportunity, once it was exploded, I ruled the first page of result TV. And I'm a dropship here. I'm not even holding stock. And then I start sitting a lot in the second advantage was that I stick to the highest price. So even if I could find the same product for cheaper, I did not reduce my price on eBay.
00;26;15;14 - 00;26;42;16

So my profit margins great. And then when they find those opportunities there, I started to look for more similar opportunities. Then I do the same with the LED lights, with the with the motion motion LED lights for the security LED lights, the one that you put in the garden. And I exploded this niche. And then I found the not only generics, but it's so so that's that's what I meant when I when I say like, this is how you beat your competitors.
00;26;42;18 - 00;27;02;16

The advantage is a small seller. You have you have the time to go into deals with everything. The big sellers, they don't go into details. They they just put tons of products in their store. They just rely on their brand and they miss a lot of opportunities. They can allow themselves to miss a lot of opportunities because their brand is strong enough.
00;27;02;18 - 00;27;23;20
Unknown
And you as a small seller, you are farming those opportunities with with that the data analysis, with research, and then you exploit them to grow and become big sellers. Most of Etsy. Hmm. I like that I didn't interrupt you because that was a masterclass in how you build a dropshipping business either on eBay or on Shopify and other platforms.
00;27;23;22 - 00;27;46;00

And a lot of things you mentioned like the exciting proposition is so important and a lot of people do not really know about it. Just how important it is to find a unique selling proposition, to find a actually angle to sell it. So I really like this for our listeners. I think you have to listen to this at least twice, maybe a couple of times more, just to get all the golden nuggets that I just mentioned in there.
00;27;46;02 - 00;28;04;14

Now things have become easier. I started Dropshipping, I think, in 2015 and there was a lot of manual things that was not that much on data available. That was analytics. I think that makes it much, much easier. What's the onboarding for analytics? How does that work? Yeah, it's a great question. Onboarding is is something we always try to improve.
00;28;04;14 - 00;28;22;01
Unknown
There is always a lot to improve. You joined Zeke, you get seven days for right now is seven days for free, but normally seven days for one day for $1. Sorry. So you pay $1, you get seven days to try to, then you get access to the market insights dashboard, which is a place where you get a lot of data concentrated into one place.
00;28;22;04 - 00;28;46;10

A competitor's products, everything ready to use so you can get started quickly. We are now working on a new dashboard and upgrading audit tools to work to a better onboarding experience where you, we get suggested, suggests we selected filters and things that can make you. But every featuring Zeke have a 10 to 15 minutes training we use. That also includes strategies.
00;28;46;10 - 00;29;07;24

It's not just the trial, okay, this is how it works, but it's also include strategies that you can use with the tool. And I would set anyone that want to become successful in Dropshipping in e-commerce and find winning products. Just watch these videos. You can also find them on YouTube, master these training videos one after another. Learn how to utilize each tool.
00;29;07;24 - 00;29;27;25

Like I said in the beginning, the aim of all distractions focus on one thing mastery and then reverse engineer. Focus on one thing, master it, then reverse engineer and then you will become successful very quickly. It's not much time to be honest, to learn about it. Yeah, I like this approach. Was focusing on mastering one thing after another.
00;29;27;28 - 00;29;44;10

I had a lot of chats in the last couple of years for people to say, I want to build a brand. Yeah, that's the wrong angle. A brand that takes a long time, or they're just saying, I want to, as you mentioned before, I want to sell this specific product. For what reason ever it is, was my own journey in e-commerce.
00;29;44;10 - 00;30;01;12
Unknown
I did dropshipping a lot of products, a lot of research, as you said. And then I found a very specific niche like was the radio scanners that you mentioned that I had absolutely no clue about it, turn it around and make it successful. And I think that's the way to go. And also for our listeners probably ever Dropshipping is that which is nonsense.
00;30;01;12 - 00;30;18;09

Dropshipping is not that. It's a business principle that is there for a very long time and it will stay so slick. Analytics helps you to get started and obviously there's all the training that you need in the world. Let's talk about the pricing structure. How do you charge on a long run from Zeek Analytics? Yeah, so yeah, it's very simple.
00;30;18;09 - 00;30;36;10

With a monthly annual subscription. Depends on the plan. On the Shopify, it's fixed. So there is one plan, but we are going to we're about to launch edits by and a store builder, so we will add more plans. And for eBay, there are three plans depending on the features. If you want to use the bigger plans, they are mainly for eBay.
00;30;36;10 - 00;31;07;07

Drop shippers who want to automate and find hundreds and thousands of products from Amazon, Walmart, not Express but for getting started. The first plan. The plan is totally enough. Okay, before we come to the end of our coffee break today, is there anything you want to share with our listeners that we haven't covered yet? Yes, actually, there is something that they want to share with everyone here, and it's not related to e-commerce, but it's something that will definitely going to transform your life and make you grow also in entrepreneurialism and e-commerce.
00;31;07;09 - 00;31;29;01

And this is building a strong morning routine. I know it's out of context completely, but I can tell you that it's completely transformed my life having a proper morning routine, waking up early, as early as possible. It's five, 530 in the morning, you know, doing sports and meditation, reading books, enriching your mind, nurturing your mind all the time.
00;31;29;02 - 00;32;09;04
Unknown
You know, read books, biographies of successful people, read books about money, read books about mindset, about psychology. Do this for yourself every morning. You don't need to read a lot, you know, 20 minutes every morning. Do this for yourself every morning and you will start the day so powerful that everything else will become a lot easier. I can tell you as a person that I was a person that have had a lot of challenges, you know, with the discipline and the very, I would say, addict addictive behavior, you know, easily going to the phones, running shorts, easily, you know, going to mean coins or or or bed eating habits in the night and stuff like
00;32;09;04 - 00;32;35;13
Unknown
this. And focusing on this on the morning routine is automatically taking this discipline muscle in your mind and strengthen it to to be so strong that everything has become easy. It's easier for you to say no and you don't want or when you think when you're think things are good for you, it's easier for you to sit down and focus and do your dropshipping training, watch videos, take action.
00;32;35;15 - 00;33;01;00
Unknown
It's easier for you, everything. So on your morning, elevate your life, as simple as that. So that's the only thing I wanted to say before, which I think it's a very good end to our chat today. I'm a big, lifelong learner myself and I think for our listeners, if you get in contact with nature, there's so much more wisdom and mentorship involved than just talking about a product and on that note, where can people go and find more about you?
00;33;01;03 - 00;33;20;27
Unknown
Yeah, of course. There is the YouTube channel of Zeek Analytics and this is where most of the content is released. There's my Instagram channel. I'm not that active, to be honest, but mainly in the YouTube channel. Facebook Groups Discord of Zeek Analytics. I will put all the links in the show notes as always. Then you just one click away now, huh?
00;33;21;00 - 00;33;35;25

Thanks so much for the chat today. I think there was a lot of content in there that our listeners can definitely put in place and start working on it and become successful. And I hope a lot of people will reach out to you and start their business. Specific analytics. Thanks so much for your time. Thank you very much, Class.
