Greetings! Just discovered your channel - good stuff. Those Merrells are high-end in terms of hiking boots.

[@cya177]

Just came across your channel. Great video presentation. You mentioned upgrading to a better camera. Just wanted you to know that your video audio and clarity on this video is excellent. So on that note, I have some questions and requests. What are you currently using and how is your audio set up? Are you using or wearing a clip on microphone attached to yourself or is it on your tripod stand? What is your tripod and camera you use? What is your set up like? What lighting are you using? And one thing I do t know how to do is video editing. For those of us who unfortunately are struggling and do not have a computer or internet, and just use our cell phones for taking photos and video.... What apps would you suggest? What’s the best way to back up photos and video using apps or Google, etc in way of cell phone usage/access... And lastly.... How do you edit videos? Piecing them together to cut out all the unnecessary or rambling to create a video like you created? Ohhhh... and I’ve seen people using videos now in their ads.... how do we do that? Whooops.... one more thing.... for those of us who do not have partners and it’s just ourselves..... How do we hire out using access to overseas people who we just take photos and video then they create and list the items for us? Costing very little to do vs hiring someone locally? I don’t know the name of this process and or how to do it... but I need that! Hope this gives you some ideas on video to create to help us learn and scale our businesses. By the way, another thing..... I see people absolutely rocking it by doing LIVE SALES via KZbin, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram. Some use a program called “comment sold”. I’d like to start doing this but I don’t have a channel nor following so it’s hard to get seen. Any advice? Thanks so much! ~Kennedy-USA

[@hustlinhooks]

We us the GoPro Hero 8 - sound is captured thru the camera. It cane with a small tripod. We use PowerDirector as an editing software, its about $110/year. We used an iPhone X at the beginning and used iMovie as a free app to edit with. You can back up your videos on a computer or external hard drive. Once we upload a video, we delete it.

[@hustlinhooks]

As far as ads go, you have to become monetized by KZbin before you can earn money via ad revenue. Google it. We have zero experience hiring, so we cannot help you. As far as growing an auidence, we started on Instagram and then KZbin. Advice: add value in your content and be yourself. Hope that helps!

Hi guys... thanks again for the video. Have you considered not using GSP for your international items and shipping them yourself? There are many international customers that won't buy an item through GSP, especially buyers in Canada. GSP charges excess customs fees that many countries do not collect when items are shipped directly. Canada is a perfect example, and I have had several customers thanking me for offering an item that ships directly to them. Just wondering what your take on this is?

[@hustlinhooks]

We don’t want any more risk in shipping, so for now we will stick with the GSP.

[@ernie_smith]

Great video. Could you explain your international free shipping through GSP Thanks

[@hustlinhooks]

We’ll cover it in detail in a video. It’s easy, we just have to ship the item to ebays KY warehouse, then we are 100% covered. Buyer pays for shipping to their location.
