Speaker:

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
