Highlights

The video outlines a process for building a mobile app without coding, emphasizing the potential for financial freedom and recurring revenue.

The speaker has successfully built mobile apps and generated significant revenue, with $683,000 in sales over a lifetime and $30,000 in the last 30 days.

The app development process is broken down into four main parts: idea, research, design, development, marketing, and optimization.

The importance of solving a problem with an app is highlighted, as it makes the app valuable and easier to market.

Validating an app idea involves market research and checking the competition to ensure there is a demand for the solution.

Sensor Tower is recommended as a tool for market research to analyze the revenue of similar apps in the market.

The speaker shares a personal example of building an app to track macros for diet and fitness, due to dissatisfaction with existing solutions.

Brainstorming and dumping all ideas related to the app is a key strategy for clarifying the app's concept and features.

99designs is recommended for UI design, allowing for a contest where multiple designers submit their ideas for the app's look.

The design process is crucial for the app's success, affecting user experience and marketing efforts.

Hiring a developer is the next step, with Upwork being the recommended platform for finding skilled developers, particularly from Eastern Europe.

The developer should be hired on a fixed price basis rather than hourly, to ensure the project's completion and quality before payment.

The total budget for designing and developing the app can be under $5,000, making it an accessible route to app ownership and potential revenue.

The video promises a follow-up on marketing the app, setting up paywalls, and optimizing for profit.

The speaker encourages viewers to reach out for further discussion and support, emphasizing a community of app creators.

business a micro SAS if you will it will

play02:27

earn you recurring Revenue that will

play02:29

give you true time freedom and Financial

play02:32

Freedom okay so let's dive into it how

play02:34

to build a mobile app this video is

play02:36

going to be broken down into four

play02:37

separate parts those being idea SL

play02:39

resesarch design development marketing

play02:42

and optimization and this is really all

play02:44

you need right there's four simple steps

play02:46

to making a mobile app and I'm going to

play02:48

go through each one of them and break it

play02:49

down as simply as possible and I want to

play02:51

stress again if you don't know how to

play02:53

code if you don't know how to design if

play02:55

you don't know how to Market if you

play02:56

literally don't know what app you want

play02:58

to build yet it doesn't matter I'm going

play03:00

to show you how to do each and every

play03:02

single one of these things and again by

play03:03

the end of the video you will have

play03:05

everything you need to know so let's

play03:06

move into phase one phase one is your

play03:09

idea slash your research of the idea

play03:12

validating making sure that your idea is

play03:14

actually a good idea and the way I start

play03:17

with building mobile apps is I like to

play03:18

solve a problem for people in solving a

play03:20

problem for someone they're going to see

play03:22

your app as valuable to them they're

play03:24

going to want to invest money and it's

play03:25

also easy to Market a problem you can

play03:27

Market a problem and say Hey you have

play03:29

this XYZ problem here's an app here's a

play03:32

product that will help you fix it your

play03:33

product needs to solve a problem right

play03:35

and then how do you validate your app

play03:36

idea to know that this is a problem that

play03:38

people actually have that there's a

play03:39

market for this and that there's a

play03:40

little bit of competition right

play03:41

competition is good in the in you know

play03:43

mobile apps right because you want to

play03:45

know that other people are making money

play03:47

in the industry or in the sort of Niche

play03:50

that you are building your mobile app in

play03:51

so with this you can do market research

play03:53

and the best way to do market research

play03:55

is you can go to a website called sensor

play03:57

Tower and you can see exactly how much

play03:59

other apps are making so for example I

play04:02

have an idea this app that I'm going to

play04:04

show you that I'm building in real time

play04:06

with you on this video this app that I'm

play04:08

building is a macro tracker I've had

play04:10

this problem I've been tracking my

play04:12

macros manually for the longest time

play04:14

because I think all the apps out there

play04:16

just aren't good right like here is

play04:18

literally my macro sheet I've been

play04:20

tracking my macros manually uh over this

play04:23

period of time I've been tracking my

play04:24

weight Etc right because I think all the

play04:26

apps out there kind of suck at it so I'm

play04:29

going to build a better version of this

play04:31

app and how did I know that this would

play04:33

be a good idea how did I validate this

play04:35

idea I went to sensor Tower and I

play04:36

checked out the revenue of all the apps

play04:38

within kind of this health and wellness

play04:40

track your calories Niche we have my

play04:41

fitness pal which is doing $10 million

play04:44

in Revenue every single month we have

play04:45

yazio which is doing $3 million in

play04:47

Revenue every single month we have fit

play04:49

now which is doing $4 million in Revenue

play04:51

every month and calorie counter plus

play04:53

$900,000 every single month clearly

play04:56

there is a market for this and I think

play04:58

these products quite frankly I I don't

play04:59

think they're good I think I can build a

play05:01

better product and I can Market it

play05:02

better there is clearly a market for

play05:04

this my idea has been validated you can

play05:06

go and you can look on the top you know

play05:09

uh Revenue charts you can look at the

play05:10

top app store charts and see kind of

play05:12

what apps are trending right now but

play05:14

ultimately you want to solve a problem

play05:16

right and then you're going to brain

play05:18

dump everything this is kind of my

play05:21

strategy for initially getting my idea

play05:23

down on paper and kind of thinking about

play05:25

exactly what I want to do so this is

play05:27

exactly what I did I brain dumped

play05:28

everything right we have macr tracker up

play05:30

here this is you know the idea that I

play05:33

have for the app I have the competitors

play05:34

that I just mentioned right here I have

play05:36

ideas for the features that I want to I

play05:39

want to use right so this whole uh app

play05:41

is going to be focused around AI macro

play05:43

tracking you can talk to your phone and

play05:45

tell it what you a and you'll track your

play05:46

Macros but I have all the features that

play05:47

I want on the app right here I have all

play05:50

the pages all the ideas that I have for

play05:52

the app I've brain dumped everything

play05:54

here I've brain dumped all of my ideas

play05:57

I've explained kind of what each page is

play05:59

going to do do and this will set you up

play06:01

perfectly because you're going to have a

play06:02

singular place where you have all of

play06:03

your ideas on paper and this will help

play06:05

you really kind of wrap your mind around

play06:08

your app idea brain dumping everything

play06:10

and then at this point we can get into

play06:12

the design of your app and make sure you

play06:14

stick around to the end because I'm

play06:16

going to show you at the end how to

play06:17

Market this and how to make that sweet

play06:19

sweet profit I'm going to show you

play06:20

exactly how you know I'm making $1,000 a

play06:22

day uh with my mobile app and we're

play06:24

going to do it together in real time so

play06:26

stick around for sure kind of the last

play06:28

couple things I'll say about this is is

play06:29

solving a problem more likely than not

play06:31

it's a problem that you experience right

play06:33

so you know when I built my first app my

play06:35

first app that is making $3,000 a month

play06:38

as of right now puff count it was an app

play06:41

that helps people quit vaping I got

play06:42

addicted to vaping in college so this is

play06:44

a problem that I had and I knew a lot of

play06:46

other people had it and I knew it was

play06:48

going to be a big problem so I knew

play06:49

there was a market I knew that the idea

play06:51

was validated because other people are

play06:52

going to have this problem I knew it

play06:53

would be super marketable and I knew

play06:56

people would pay for this because you

play06:57

know it's it's a real problem out there

play06:59

you know I had all these boxes ticked

play07:00

right I was solving a problem the idea

play07:02

was validated I did a bunch of market

play07:03

research I knew that this was a viral

play07:05

problem because vaping was also going

play07:07

viral on social media which is kind of

play07:09

another way that you can validate your

play07:10

idea what's trending on social media

play07:12

right now is it vaping is it you know

play07:15

sobriety what is it right and then you

play07:17

can kind of build your app idea around

play07:20

that and then once you have everything

play07:22

kind of brain dumped on paper you're

play07:25

confident in your idea you're confident

play07:26

that your idea solves a problem you're

play07:28

confident that this is a value idea to

play07:30

people and you've brain dumped

play07:31

everything you have you know all the

play07:32

pages that you want kind of all the

play07:34

features and you know how it's going to

play07:36

look you can start to design the app in

play07:40

your mind you can develop the app in

play07:42

your mind how exactly do you imagine

play07:44

that this app is going to work you know

play07:46

once it's brought to life once it's

play07:48

brought to life on your phone right in

play07:49

doing this you can build out a wireframe

play07:52

you can sketch out a wireframe and I'll

play07:54

kind of show you the wireframe now that

play07:57

I have built for my new app the macro

play07:59

track app and it's literally simply a

play08:02

sketch of exactly how I think the app

play08:04

should look right so I'm drawing out

play08:07

exactly how I think the app should look

play08:09

and kind of the main screens within the

play08:11

app and this is all you need to get

play08:13

started developing the UI and once you

play08:15

have this sketch done what you can do is

play08:18

you can upload it to a site called 99

play08:21

designs I highly recommend this site

play08:23

when you are building the UI for your

play08:26

mobile app because again you can take

play08:29

your entire sheet that you've brain

play08:30

dumped here and you can upload it to 99

play08:32

designs and what 99 designs is is it's a

play08:35

contest platform so you can upload your

play08:37

sketch of your app and you can start a

play08:40

contest and you will get hundreds of

play08:43

designers all submitting their idea of

play08:45

what your app should look like for

play08:47

example I have 86 different designers

play08:50

who have all submitted their designs and

play08:52

this is the best way to go about UI

play08:53

design because you get so many different

play08:55

options of you know what your app would

play08:58

look like that it's easier for you to

play09:00

choose for example like if you had only

play09:02

seen one girl your entire life you you

play09:04

know you might be like okay you know I

play09:06

like her I'm going to marry her but

play09:08

that's the only girl you've ever seen

play09:10

imagine if you had 10 girls in front of

play09:12

you and then also that girl was there

play09:14

you might be like oh wait she was cute

play09:16

but like this one's cute you know what I

play09:18

mean like that type of thing so you

play09:19

don't know kind of what design you want

play09:23

to go with unless you've seen a ton so

play09:25

this is why I recommend doing 99 designs

play09:27

doing a contest in instead of just

play09:29

working with one designer I think it's

play09:31

more effective and I'm going to show you

play09:33

in a second here the design that I'm

play09:34

going with and the design that I think

play09:36

is the absolute best out of this but to

play09:39

give you a better understanding I'll

play09:40

I'll kind of walk through the brief here

play09:42

it's essentially everything that we did

play09:43

on our brain dump wordoc here we're

play09:45

going to do the exact same thing on 99

play09:47

designs so you can upload your own brief

play09:49

you can kind of name your app describe

play09:51

it a little bit you can break down you

play09:53

know the screens and the workflows of

play09:54

your app and then what you can do is you

play09:56

can upload your sketches so the sketches

play09:59

that I just showed you I uploaded to 99

play10:01

designs and I said hey designers here

play10:03

are my sketches this is what I want the

play10:04

app to look like and then boom they

play10:06

bring the sketches and they bring your

play10:09

brain dump to life in the form of a

play10:11

beautiful beautiful UI and I will show

play10:13

you the winner here this is the winner

play10:15

by far to me right super clean you know

play10:17

the designer left a comment here it's

play10:19

super simple it's playful uh and it

play10:22

looks gamified kind of like dual lingo I

play10:24

love this design without you know this

play10:26

contest there's no way I would have

play10:27

gotten this design and you know we could

play10:29

check out another one real quick here

play10:30

this one doesn't even come close right

play10:32

like this doesn't even come close or

play10:34

compare to this one so getting a ton of

play10:36

designs like this will help you

play10:39

understand what you want faster and

play10:40

it'll help you get to your most optimal

play10:41

design faster this contest I am

play10:45

currently running there's about 18 hours

play10:47

left so I will be choosing the winner

play10:49

which is this guy right here and then he

play10:51

will send me either a Photoshop file or

play10:53

a figma file that I will then be able to

play10:55

take to the developer and bring this UI

play10:59

bring this design bring this image to

play11:01

life and make it a real functioning

play11:04

mobile app on my phone I'm telling you

play11:05

guys it is so easy stick with me

play11:08

throughout this because this is how I

play11:10

built mobile apps time and time again

play11:12

this is how I make money with mobile

play11:13

apps and it really is simpler than

play11:16

people think so in the next step we're

play11:18

going to work on the actual development

play11:21

so stick around until the end real quick

play11:23

I have to tell you how insane doing this

play11:25

contest system with 99 designs is you

play11:28

could have one designer and pay them the

play11:30

same price that I'm paying right now for

play11:32

a contest or you could start a contest

play11:34

for a couple hundred bucks and you get

play11:35

designs from 6070 80 different designers

play11:38

this is a no-brainer I'm telling you you

play11:41

will after you use this website and use

play11:42

this contest software you will never get

play11:45

a design built another way again like

play11:47

this is the way to go I highly recommend

play11:50

99 designs all right guys it's been a

play11:52

little while and we have kind of our

play11:54

final designs right here as you can see

play11:56

I got rid of a bunch of the other

play11:58

designs I declined them all and I picked

play12:00

kind of the best five here and stick

play12:02

with me I know this is taking a little

play12:03

bit but the UI and the design of your

play12:05

app is one of the most important parts

play12:07

of your app it's going to help your

play12:08

marketing it's going to help help your

play12:09

user experience it will make you more

play12:11

money if your app looks good so please

play12:13

stick with me throughout the rest of

play12:14

this and then after this we're going to

play12:16

get to the fun part we're going to get

play12:17

to the marketing The Profit the

play12:18

development all that so I picked these

play12:21

kind of five just so I could like learn

play12:23

from the other designs what I like a

play12:24

bunch and the beautiful thing about this

play12:26

is like this design right here is

play12:27

clearly the winner for me but there are

play12:29

specific things that I like about these

play12:31

other designs that I can learn from

play12:33

right like for this one I kind of like

play12:36

this layout of the main monitor right

play12:39

here more than I like this right and for

play12:42

this one I like the way that you know

play12:45

the voice recording thing is just a

play12:47

popup and I like how they have you know

play12:49

the name right here up top so all of

play12:52

these small little things I'm going to

play12:53

take note of and then I'm going to tell

play12:55

this designer to implement those changes

play12:57

so without further ado let's confirm him

play13:00

as a finalist boom let's go he is now in

play13:04

the final round and there's 5 days for

play13:06

this designer I will talk with him we'll

play13:09

go back and forth and then we'll

play13:10

finalize the design and then he'll send

play13:12

me the finalized design files on

play13:14

Photoshop or figma and then I can take

play13:16

these bring them to the the development

play13:17

team and then have them actually bring

play13:19

the app to life so we can get it

play13:20

launched on the store so stay tuned for

play13:23

that be sure to watch till the end we're

play13:25

almost done here stick with me okay so

play13:27

thus far we came up with our idea we'

play13:30

validated our idea we've brain dumped

play13:32

everything we know everything that we

play13:33

want in this mobile app we have our UI

play13:35

designs done now we just need to find

play13:38

someone to help us bring this to life

play13:40

and by that I mean a developer and the

play13:43

way we're going to find our developer is

play13:44

on upwork.com I highly recommend upwork

play13:48

it's way better than Fiverr in my

play13:49

opinion and I'm going to show you why

play13:51

right now okay so this is upwork.com it

play13:53

is essentially a freelancer platform

play13:56

where you can find people to do work for

play13:58

you and and I am going to show you how

play14:00

often I use upwork and why I trust it so

play14:03

much as you can see I've had this upwork

play14:05

account for quite some time now I've

play14:06

posted 103 jobs 100% higher rate I've

play14:10

spent

play14:10

$119,000 on this website right so I've

play14:13

used upwork a bunch I've used all the

play14:15

the freelancer platforms I used Fiverr

play14:17

I've used agencies I've used all this

play14:19

stuff upwork is by far the best so how

play14:22

are we going to find a developer on

play14:24

upwork what we're going to do is we're

play14:26

going to post a job I'm going to walk

play14:27

through this with with you right now

play14:29

this is going to be a short-term project

play14:32

and this is going to be build a mobile

play14:35

app developer needed to build AI macr

play14:40

tracking mobile app for

play14:44

iOS Android so this is our job title

play14:47

right developer needed to build AI macr

play14:49

tracking mobile app for ios/android Next

play14:53

we're going to go to skills iOS uh

play14:55

mobile app development Android app

play14:57

development

play14:59

react native is the coding language and

play15:04

the rest of this really doesn't matter

play15:06

right next to our scope we're going to

play15:07

do medium this is a medium-term thing

play15:10

it's going to take us one to three

play15:11

months probably a little bit less

play15:13

honestly depending on the complexity of

play15:14

your app right and we're always looking

play15:16

for an expert we're never looking for an

play15:18

entry-level person that's just that

play15:19

doesn't exist in what we're doing right

play15:21

here so we're looking for an expert

play15:23

right could this become full-time sure

play15:25

why not let's say that location we're

play15:27

going to make it world wide and I'm

play15:29

going to tell you why I'm going to break

play15:31

this down a little bit further but

play15:32

there's really only one part of the

play15:33

world you should be hiring developers

play15:35

from and there's really only one part of

play15:36

the world that I recommend you hire

play15:37

developers from and it's not the United

play15:39

States it's not South America it's not

play15:42

Asia it is Eastern Europe Eastern Europe

play15:45

is where you are going to find the best

play15:47

developers out there they do great work

play15:51

high quality work they're driven uh very

play15:53

smart and you know they'll they'll do it

play15:55

for like 50% of the cost of of us uh

play15:58

develop Vel opers so just trust me on

play16:00

that I've been around the block enough

play16:02

to know um that you should be hiring

play16:05

from from Eastern Europe right so as for

play16:08

a budget this isn't really going to

play16:10

matter either for the post that you do I

play16:12

could say $20,000 right here and then I

play16:14

could talk to people and try to you know

play16:15

negotiate or whatever but let's say you

play16:17

know we're going to keep our budget for

play16:19

this at

play16:20

$3500 so this is what we're going to

play16:22

build the app for and then in the

play16:24

description right we are going to

play16:27

explain what the app is right now we can

play16:30

pull up kind of our brain dump right

play16:32

this is super useful for us and we are

play16:35

going to explain what exactly our app

play16:40

does we're going to describe exactly

play16:42

what we need the profile page blah blah

play16:44

blah the macro app right we're going to

play16:46

explain a little bit more this app is

play16:49

intended for users trying to track their

play16:54

macron nutrients SLC calories and weight

play16:58

loss the app utilizes AI to make the

play17:03

user experience seamless boom five main

play17:07

Pages blah blah blah and then we're also

play17:08

going to mention we have the UI has been

play17:12

designed completely more details to come

play17:17

upon application we don't we don't

play17:20

really need

play17:21

to explain all this so we're just going

play17:24

to make it short and sweet this app is

play17:25

intended for users blah blah blah track

play17:27

macronutrient calories blah blah blah

play17:29

and then boom we are going to review the

play17:31

job post and we are going to post the

play17:35

job so one thing that you're going to

play17:36

want to do is set job success as 90% or

play17:41

up we want someone who's experienced so

play17:44

we want their amount earned to not be

play17:46

zero if someone applies to your job and

play17:48

we're going to we're going to go through

play17:49

the applicants on this later but like if

play17:50

someone applies to your job and they

play17:51

don't have at least $100 of earnings on

play17:54

upwork you you just don't want to you

play17:56

don't want to work with that person okay

play17:59

perfect amazing all right so we're gonna

play18:01

post our job now and our job post is

play18:04

live so I'll be back when we have a

play18:05

couple applicants and I'll kind of walk

play18:07

through exactly how we're going to be

play18:09

managing those applicants I wanted to

play18:11

quickly mention if you feel a little bit

play18:13

lost right now uh don't worry by the end

play18:15

of this video it will all make sense and

play18:16

we'll all come together and if you have

play18:18

any questions at any time throughout

play18:20

kind of this video what I'm talking

play18:21

about please shoot me a follow on

play18:23

Instagram shoot me a DM on Instagram

play18:25

that is where I'm the most active by far

play18:27

I will always get back to you on

play18:28

Instagram I even take calls with viewers

play18:31

so if you want to talk if you want to

play18:32

take a call if you want to you know Jam

play18:34

a little bit on your app idea hit me up

play18:36

on the gram and I'll get back to you so

play18:39

let's get back into this okay so it has

play18:41

not even been half an hour and we

play18:44

already have nine new developers who

play18:47

have all applied for our job so I'm

play18:50

going to go through these real quick and

play18:51

just kind of show you typically what I

play18:53

do here's our top guy right here like I

play18:55

can already tell right off the bat

play18:56

because you know he has 5K earn earned

play18:58

100% job success he's top rated and

play19:01

guess where he's located Eastern Europe

play19:03

baby that is The Sweet Spot that is the

play19:05

golden spot where we want to hire from

play19:07

just trust me on that you know these

play19:09

other guys they look somewhat impressive

play19:11

you know we got a guy from Bahrain right

play19:13

off the rip though I'm not hiring this

play19:14

guy he has zero earned on upw work so

play19:16

you know I'm I'm not he's not it us 50k

play19:19

earned but the problem is he's

play19:21

associated with an agency this can be a

play19:24

good or a bad thing but typically

play19:25

working with an agency isn't the way you

play19:26

want to go unless you're a higher budget

play19:29

right like if you have an unlimited

play19:30

budget and you have 20

play19:31

50,000 to spend like by all means work

play19:34

with an agency get an account manager

play19:36

and work with developers that way but I

play19:38

wouldn't recommend it this guy has $ Z

play19:40

to earn so he's out I hate to say it but

play19:42

like Eastern Europe is where you want to

play19:43

hire from so like this is our guy again

play19:45

it's only been 30 minutes so if I gave

play19:47

this a little bit more time I would

play19:48

definitely get a ton more developers in

play19:50

here probably from Eastern Europe that I

play19:52

would want to hire so what I would do is

play19:54

I would send this guy a message and say

play19:55

hey thanks so much for your interest

play19:59

would love to hop on a quick 15minute

play20:04

call to discuss details and then I'm

play20:07

going to send him my calendly link if

play20:10

you don't have cly I highly recommend it

play20:12

it's completely free and boom I am going

play20:15

to schedule a call with this developer

play20:17

it's going to be a 15-minute call just

play20:19

so I can feel him out a little bit right

play20:21

like I want to tell him my idea I want

play20:23

to hear his thoughts on it I want to

play20:24

hear his excitement level and see if

play20:26

he's a professional guy face to face

play20:28

because a lot of the times these upwork

play20:30

people can hide behind like I hate to

play20:32

say it like they they hide behind fake

play20:34

profiles right and like a lot of the

play20:36

times what you see on upwork is not what

play20:38

you really get so I know this guy's

play20:40

going to be good I'm shooting him this

play20:41

message I'm going to say hey let's hop

play20:43

on a quick call together I'm going to

play20:44

tell him about my app get his you know

play20:46

kind of vibe and then see if I want to

play20:48

work with this guy and more likely than

play20:50

not this guy's going to be really solid

play20:52

you know you can take a look into their

play20:53

profile you can see some of their

play20:54

previous projects etc etc this guy has

play20:57

great reviews boom boom boom all five

play20:59

stars you can scroll through so like

play21:01

this is probably the guy we're going to

play21:03

go with hop on a call hire a developer

play21:05

and then you're off to the races all

play21:07

right so let's quickly recap what we've

play21:09

done here we've come up with an idea we'

play21:11

validated that idea we've brain dumped

play21:13

everything we've gotten our UI designed

play21:15

and now we're hiring a developer

play21:17

congratulations you are now a Founder

play21:19

you are now an app owner this is the

play21:23

exact flow that I follow every single

play21:25

time I build a mobile app I'm going to

play21:26

work with this developer that I just

play21:27

showed you I'm going to hire him you

play21:29

know we're going to work on the app

play21:30

together and then we're going to get it

play21:31

launched into the App Store the

play21:32

beautiful thing is the developer will

play21:33

handle everything once you hire him

play21:35

never hire on an hourly basis always

play21:37

hire at a fixed price so when he

play21:39

finishes the entire project and the app

play21:41

is on the App Store there's no bugs etc

play21:43

etc I've tested it only then does the

play21:45

developer get paid and I'll remind you

play21:47

our budget for this project wasn't that

play21:50

insane you know like our project on 99

play21:52

designs was you know 800 900 bucks and

play21:55

then this developer has just applied for

play21:58

for the job for 3500 you could probably

play22:00

do even a little bit lower if you want

play22:01

to wait a little bit and get a little

play22:03

bit less applicants in there for less

play22:04

than 5 grand we have pretty much the

play22:07

entire makings of a full mobile app

play22:10

ready to go again you know I will work

play22:12

this developer and I will get the app

play22:13

finished and uploaded to the App Store I

play22:15

will put that in the next video so be

play22:17

sure to subscribe stay tuned and in the

play22:19

next part we're going to have a ton of

play22:21

fun marketing this app once it's fully

play22:23

live on the app store I'm going to show

play22:24

you exactly how I set up the pay walls

play22:27

and how I optimize it for the most

play22:28

profit possible so I hope you enjoyed if

play22:31

you got any value out of this video I

play22:32

would appreciate a like I would

play22:33

appreciate a sub and be sure to leave me

play22:36

Instagram I'm more than happy to chat

play22:39

with you guys I'll like let's take a

play22:41

call together like let's chat about your

play22:43

idea I love talking with you guys I
