Hey, Jeff Bezos, you make $8,000,000 per hour, but you
Speaker:pay $0 in taxes. What the
Speaker:$8,000,000 you're talking about isn't my income. It's an increase of the Amazon shares
Speaker:Exactly. And in Jeff's case, he's simply using the
Speaker:tax system that's been legislated for him to his
Speaker:It's so true. You've got to learn how to break out of the matrix 9 to 5 system.
Speaker:I'm Matthew Fraser and this is Amazon Ecom
Speaker:Secrets. I'll be sharing with you the secrets that helped me go from
Speaker:millions in debt to an eight-figure entrepreneur. If
Speaker:you're ready to escape the nine-to-five and live life on your terms,
Speaker:let me show you the way. I'm going to be doing reactions
Speaker:to hopefully some intriguing videos and
Speaker:hopefully this starts a lot of controversy. Let's do
Speaker:Hey Jeff Bezos, you make eight million dollars per hour but you
Speaker:pay zero dollars in taxes? What the fuck? Well,
Speaker:I don't make any money. What? Okay, look, the 8 million
Speaker:you're talking about isn't my income. It's an increase of the Amazon shares
Speaker:I own. Yeah, but you still made a profit. You've got to pay taxes on
Speaker:that. No, as long as I don't sell my stocks, I don't have to pay anything. Well,
Speaker:you're going to have to sell it eventually. How are you going to get money then? Whenever I
Speaker:Well, let's just stop right there because he just touched on
Speaker:something that I'm absolutely passionate about, which is not destroying the complete
Speaker:system. And right now, the current
Speaker:Labor government wants to bring in a tax on
Speaker:unrealized gains. So right there when he said the stock price has gone
Speaker:up and you haven't paid tax, yeah, it's because he hasn't sold the stock. So
Speaker:therefore, he hasn't realized the profit or the loss. And
Speaker:so therefore, you can't be taxed. And now, I
Speaker:would just urge you, Do not vote for
Speaker:the Labor government. They're going to cripple this
Speaker:economy even further than they already have. But if you love Albonomics,
Speaker:I guess, if you love high prices, then keep Albo.
Speaker:And since debt is tax-free, I don't have to pay any taxes on that. Well,
Speaker:how are you going to pay off that loan then? I'll take out an even bigger loan
Speaker:to pay off the previous loan. And how are you going to pay the bigger loan
Speaker:then? I'll take out a loan even larger than that and do the same thing.
Speaker:Wait, you're going to keep doing that? Till when? Until I die. So
Speaker:you won't ever pay taxes in your entire life? How do
Speaker:the banks allow this if they know you're going to keep taking out loans? Well,
Speaker:the banks get their interest paid back from the loans, and I get to save
Speaker:billions in taxes. So it's really a win-win situation. How
Speaker:does the government allow this? You guys wrote the tax code, not me.
Speaker:Look, the government did write the tax code. But honestly, you
Speaker:would not want to give the government any more than is
Speaker:necessary. And in Jeff's case, he's simply using
Speaker:the tax system that's been legislated for
Speaker:him to his advantage. And if you don't do that, then
Speaker:If you're gonna make millions and millions and millions and millions in e-commerce, you're gonna sell some
Speaker:weird fucking product that if you're at a dinner party and someone says, oh,
Speaker:what do you do for a living? You don't wanna say that you sell glow-in-the-dark teddy bears. Or
Speaker:you don't wanna say you sell dildos. Everyone has this idea of e-commerce like, oh,
Speaker:I'm gonna get into e-commerce and I'm gonna start the next jewelry line. I'm gonna start the
Speaker:That's the reality of the successful e-commerce. That's fascinating. When I
Speaker:got into e-commerce, I started selling what I thought was what
Speaker:I liked, which was automotive type products. And it didn't work
Speaker:out. And I never, ever thought I would end up selling healthcare products
Speaker:amongst other things. So sometimes you just don't
Speaker:know what you're going to end up selling. But I can tell you what, I just want to sell whatever
Speaker:Yes, yes, yes. Don't tell people what you know. Keep them poor. My
Speaker:father was the head of education, PhD, all
Speaker:that stuff. I go home and ask him, I said, why don't we learn about money in
Speaker:school? And he looked at me and says, because the government doesn't let
Speaker:I've got to stop it right there. This is such a bugbear for me. It's so
Speaker:true. Robert, who wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad, a book that
Speaker:you must read, fundamental to anyone
Speaker:going into business or entrepreneurship. He is so true. He
Speaker:is right in the sense that the skill system
Speaker:is geared towards keeping you dumbed down. They
Speaker:don't want you to know how to use the money slash the
Speaker:tax system to your advantage. And
Speaker:this is the travesty of the education
Speaker:system. And my mother was a school teacher, and she
Speaker:did her absolute best and she taught well, but she's constrained by
Speaker:the system, which doesn't allow teachers to
Speaker:teach what really, really counts. Because you know what? Most of the teachers don't even know
Speaker:what's right as well. You've got to learn how to break out
Speaker:of the Matrix 9 to 5 system. It's imperative.
Speaker:And guess what? The information is actually right in
Speaker:front of you. All you need to do is go onto YouTube and start searching
Speaker:how to break out of the Matrix and there'll be a plethora of information
Speaker:there to help you get out of the system. Hey guys, I just want to break
Speaker:away from the episode for just one moment and let you know that I've just launched the
Speaker:Amazon Launchpad mini course. Now, this is designed for people who want to get
Speaker:started on Amazon really, really fast. But guess what?
Speaker:I can get you launched your first product on Amazon with just five
Speaker:hours. You just have to click on the link below, join my community, and the course
Speaker:is absolutely free. All right, thanks guys, and back to the episode.
Speaker:So I made a completely new channel. The second video got half a
Speaker:million views in like two weeks. That's wild. The video ended up
Speaker:making about $5,000. And then from there, like I just
Speaker:never stop uploading, bro. So all YouTube automation is, it's just a
Speaker:faceless way of doing YouTube without creating the videos or ever
Speaker:showing your face on camera. All you're doing is going off freelance sites like
Speaker:Upwork, Fiverr, all these freelancer sites have script
Speaker:writers, video editors, voice actors, and thumbnail artists,
Speaker:right? And so you build this team to basically produce the
Speaker:This is so powerful. You could actually make money without
Speaker:even putting your face on YouTube like what I'm doing right
Speaker:now. I'm putting my face on YouTube. But you can do it without
Speaker:putting your face on YouTube and automate the whole process and
Speaker:monetize that channel. And it could make you millions of dollars. This
Speaker:guy is onto something here and I tell you what, I'm on
Speaker:the verge of going down this path myself because after
Speaker:now doing e-commerce and Amazon for so many years, there's some
Speaker:other business models that I'm really interested in that
Speaker:can help grow my wealth but do it with less friction
Speaker:and less inventory and potentially less
Speaker:Hey, excuse me. How much money do you make a year in New York City? I make over six
Speaker:I'm about to head to the warehouse right now. What is this place? This is the warehouse.
Speaker:How'd you
Speaker:And what retail arbitrage is, is when you drive to a store, to retail stores,
Speaker:and you buy products off their shelves. So I used to drive to the Nike outlets,
Speaker:and I used to scoop all the shoes off their shelves. Day-to-day, usually from
Speaker:9 to 5, I'm looking at catalogs, searching for profitable items to buy. And
Speaker:Getting to be your own boss and making money in your sleep. I realized that you
Speaker:don't even have to do any of the branding and marketing yourself. You can just take a
Speaker:brand that already sells very well and you can buy it in bulk and then just
Speaker:plug and play. It's that simple. You can make money from well-known brands that
Speaker:Look, this is one way to make money online and I take my hat off to this
Speaker:guy for doing it, the retail arbitrage. Just like he said, There
Speaker:are some issues with it, of course. One is that you're now competing with other people
Speaker:who are selling the exact same brand. What I like to do is find existing
Speaker:brands where I can get exclusive distribution, and I'm the
Speaker:only one selling that product in the marketplace. Now,
Speaker:A lot of people aren't going to like this one. Poor people usually
Speaker:spend their money and invest what's left, whereas
Speaker:rich people invest their money and
Speaker:spend what's left. And here's the kicker. You can have very little
Speaker:money, but still have a rich mindset. It's just about the philosophy.
Speaker:I really like this guy. I've been seeing him on social media recently. He's
Speaker:definitely worth a follow. He comes up with some really, really good quality
Speaker:information that'll help get your mind thinking. Check
Speaker:Let me show you how to take a side hustle or an idea and turn it
Speaker:into a company. Level one, proof of concept. Sales
Speaker:go directly into your personal account. You have no protection, no tax benefits,
Speaker:no write-offs. Nice, you made it to level two. Form
Speaker:an LLC, tax is a sole prop, and open up a business bank account. Money
Speaker:comes into the business, the LLC, and then you can take write-offs and
Speaker:expenses. Pay yourself by taking an owner's draw. Now
Speaker:you have the protection of an LLC. My personal favorite, level
Speaker:three. Time to form a holding company, an LLC taxed as
Speaker:an S-corp owned by you. Sales flow into your business, which
Speaker:is now a disregarded LLC. This company is
Speaker:now going to pay your holding company a management fee. Your
Speaker:holding company is going to pay you a salary and quarterly distributions. This
Speaker:allows you to avoid self-employment taxes and take advantage of
Speaker:This is a pretty novel idea of course geared
Speaker:towards Americans. You can do something very similar in
Speaker:Australia using trusts but it does get very complicated and
Speaker:you absolutely have to check with your own account before you set anything like
Speaker:this up because it can incur a lot of accounting fees
Speaker:as well. So not for the fainthearted but definitely
Speaker:something that you should look into if you're going to become a multi-millionaire Amazon
Speaker:If you buy a property in a super fund, if it's residential, you can't live
Speaker:in it, you can't move your mates to live in it, it's prohibited in there. But if you buy a commercial property
Speaker:or a business property in a super fund, you can. So you're on your business premises, area of
Speaker:retail operation there. And you think that through, you go, well, if I've got a business premises, it
Speaker:might be my workshop or my surgery or where it is, and I'm paying
Speaker:rent to myself, I've got to pay rent. So you as a mechanic or as a doctor, your
Speaker:company pays rent to your own super fund. On the one hand, you're giving me tax deduction for
Speaker:that, and your rates as a company rate is 25%. The super fund gets
Speaker:that money in there, it's probably paying tax maximum 15 on the
Speaker:earnings of that thing. So it's a pretty easy math to work out. You're making 10% at
Speaker:least on the changeover. And then over time, you pay less tax when you
Speaker:Be for Bitcoin. All right, guys, thank you for tuning in to that episode of
Speaker:Reactions. I hope you enjoyed that. Probably not so controversial as
Speaker:I thought it was going to be, but all in all, great fun. All
Speaker:right, guys, thank you so much. See you in the next episode. Take care. Thanks for tuning into
