Tip number one you got to sign up for amazon prime um if you want to take advantage of amazon prime day you have to be an amazon prime member and um if let me know are you an amazon prime member i've put a link in the sitebar down below and uh all the links in the sitebar related to amazon are my affiliate links and um there's so many benefits and

 so many things that you may not even know about it let me know by the way if the audio is even working because i don't even know what i'm doing today um okay so uh sign up for amazon prime that might be a given but in order to take care of amazon prime day you have to be a prime member and again um you can sign up and you get a 30 day free trial and you can cancel if you want or you can see if you like all the benefits and there's a link to those benefits in the sitebar down below if you need those details um all right

Tip number two calculate how much you are actually saving and let me give you a couple examples with some deals that are already out at the time of recording this by the way um amazon uh prime day does not start until midnight tonight now if you're reading this tutorial  on the 13th or the 14th the deal's already happening so if you click the top link in the sitebar that will take you to the deals page where you can see all the deals that are happening and you can see deals start at midnight amazon is a west coast company here in the united states so i believe that's midnight pacific standard time so we're just a few hours away from those deals starting right now you can see the early access deals and then the official deals will really start pretty soon but here's an example of calculating your savings i think this is one of the deals that's out right now that i think is pretty amazing is you can get a 55 inch toshiba smart tv a fire tv for a hundred and fifty dollars off so you wanna make sure you see the price and then you see the deal in some cases it will show you the percentage here it does not but that's one example and there's also a 43 inch the 55 inch a couple different options on deals the 32 inch for a hundred dollars my reason for putting this here too is maybe you want a new gaming monitor or even some kind of like maybe you want to use that for your computer as a content creator you might want to check out some of those tv deals here's an example of an ipad now apple products don't really get discounted that much but you can see that there's a 16 savings on this deal and maybe we like to use ipads for teleprompters so that's one thing to check out macbook pro now notice this and this is some of the stuff you want to study yes it's five percent off on the sale but see it says save 100 at checkout and so what you actually do is add it to your cart it's going to add that promotion onto it later and so notice all around this shopping area here what certain specific deals are now another thing that's really important is it's not just the deal this is one of my favorite early deals is these hubs if you are a macbook user and let me know are you mac or pc tell me in the comments are you are you team mac are you team um and so notice that it's not just the savings so i actually have this exact hub with the ethernet plug-in cable why because of live streaming so i want to be able to hardline in critical for your macbook see it's got audio ethernet it's got all the things so the savings in this case is a little coupon click here that you have to make sure you actually check the box to add the coupon to get the actual savings now on top of that look at this guy if you if you grab this one you get the ethernet it's a little bit less ports you've got 54 normally on sale 27 off click the coupon an extra 10 off and so if you want to check out these uh va vava i don't know how you say it but they work i have two different hubs like this for my macbook link in the sitebar down below if you want to check those out but the tip my friends is calculate how much you are actually saving and so uh check that one out and thank you so much everybody for being here sean's world good to see you face sasha j mike john we got five tips coming up for you and um we are on

Tip number three: returns until january first yeah how how dope is that so um amazon is in full holiday mode right now that's a pretty big deal because that's almost three months of returns now amazon with prime date it seems kind of strategic doesn't it i'm curious your thoughts they're jumping like a whole month ahead of black friday and cyber monday in the holiday deals i think they're trying to take some of the pie as the biggest e-commerce store to say do your holiday shopping now so i have a feeling they're going to come out strong at midnight with some sick deals over the next 48 hours and by the way it's funny that it also is like a two day thing amazon prime day is like two days or at least one and a half days um i think they're going to come out strong with some deals because they want to take that market share from other retailers and by the way other retailers are doing deals at the same time too because it's it's an e-commerce kind of competition um in preparation for the holidays so i think maybe are you shopping for somebody else or are you building out your own battle station and your own content uh let me know and so uh returns though are extended so you could take some action make sure that things are actually right for you or you're actually gonna use them actually you know you can grab whatever deals you want and then take advantage of that extended return so that's cool tip number four master lightning deals my friends this is where the magic happens so if you haven't really shopped before make sure you're signed up for amazon prime the way the deals work is their lightning deals now what is a lightning deal when deals are available it's usually one per customer and there's a limited promotion period so here's what you need to know there's a time limit to claim the deal so starting at midnight you're going to see upcoming deals and you're going to see goes live maybe at like 6 a.m 12 a.m p.m whatever it is so set a reminder when you look ahead at the deals and where you'll see them you can't actually see them now because it hasn't started but when you go to the prime home page you're going to start seeing the deals got it okay now a couple things lightning deals usually last only a few hours or why surprise supplies last there's also purchase limits so there's only maybe like 100 units 500 units 5000 units available if you miss it you'll be able to join a wait list and then a huge key and i can't quite do it yet but you want to filter your uh choices by category so it's uh here's a tip definitely make rec i recommend using a desktop to shop on amazon prime or a laptop you get onto your web page over on the left side you could say filter by category so you look at all the lightning deals but for content creators in particular a part of the think media community you might check i look at like computers and tech i look at gaming because sometimes there's headsets or maybe gaming stuff i look at cameras and photography i look at those different categories you check those boxes and it filters the deals down then you want to look ahead and maybe set reminders on your phone or set notifications so as soon as maybe you're like oh sick there's that lighting kit i want or there's that microphone i want set that reminder so you've got that deal cued up for you okay.

Tip number four: is master lightning deals i don't think i said that right i said lighting deals but you know hey whatever it's it's i'm a new dad right i'm trying to figure it out um and so all right here's my content creator checklist and let me know in the comments what is it you're shopping for in fact if you're here live shout me out here's here's what i'm looking for all holidays whenever i i always upgrade my battle station i think about what do i need for my business during this time of year so cameras camera lenses right it's maybe a good time to pick up some lenses shop around live streaming gear man that's everything right it might be computer monitors it might be an audio interface it might be uh lighting for live streaming it might be anything related to live streaming gear smartphone accessories smartphone tripods um smartphone clip-on lights smartphone microphones smartphone accessories like that maybe it's a backup usb drive to clear off that tutorial  footage on your smartphone so what i'm encouraging you to do too is you always want to go in with the game plan it's not really about impulse buying right it's about writing down hey what do i need to take my content to another level what do i want to upgrade this year what do i want to invest in lighting right lighting and so lighting could be like right now i've got some gbm uh the new gvm desk mount lights on me for for this live stream clips onto the back of the desk i'll be talking about those in a future tutorial  it might be a lighting kit a softbox kit for for your uh you know uh just your home office or or wherever microphones um podcast gear are you thinking about podcasting zoom's got that new portable kind of multi-Account Builder Website  podcast of course the road podcasters sick uh you know and even like zoom age friends now this stuff might not all be on sale by the way i'm gonna do another stream tomorrow morning which will be the morning of amazon prime day once the deals open up and hopefully i can look far enough ahead to pick out some of the best deals off of this list i just want to give you the tips for how to actually get the deals help you create your game plan storage sd cards hard drives uh wi-fi routers you know maybe you want to up increase the speed of the wi-fi in your house or maybe there's some networking stuff maybe you want to make sure you get hard-lined one of my biggest tips for live streaming is make sure you get hard-lined get plugged in uh wherever maybe you want to get a switch so you can you know i just got a switch so i could plug in my apple tv uh my it's pretty sick my smart tv the amount of the nvidia shield the playstation 4 plus i wanted to plug in my other laptop plus i wanted to plug in my nas my network area story whatever and so this might be beyond what where uh you're at let me know if that sounded crazy uh accessories it could be batteries a lot of times that stuff won't be on sale but maybe it's like camera backpacks camera straps um other types of except camera mounts um i got a joby in the picture right maybe it's different vlogging tripods and whatnot things to shop around and again i'll be doing another stream laptops and computers that could be a big upgrade look around for those deals and then maybe software maybe there's a deal on like adobe uh premiere pro maybe adobe elements photoshop and those types of things uh come out as well and so um definitely uh check some of that stuff out and then hey shout out on the stream before we get to

Tip number five: though coming up for you and so let's dive into that um compare deals on other sites and stores so people are competing with amazon prime day let me just give you one example but there's a couple others to maybe check out like this is the dji osmo pocket um really good can you know kind of gimbal a lot of people use this for vlogging because it's so stable and steady really cool of course really great reviews so notice this this is a hundred and twenty dollars off instant savings for 297 for the kit right you got a little charging dock thing and you've got uh the micro sd card that comes with it so sick deal with the expansion kit right and the offer deal ends midnight on october 14th so this is an example of uh b h photo and i've linked to this deal if this is if you're in the market for this camera that's my affiliate link but that's in the sitebar so check that out notice it's only open until the end of prime day so there's a few other websites that or i think a lot of people target walmart best buy uh not my favorite stores but you know maybe adorama b h so there may be some other places out there that you want to look at and you always want to potentially shop around so make your game plan um let me know some of the things that you're looking for uh and um and then write those down and then execute and just dive right in you know six sigma 16 millimeter 1.4 i don't know if there'll be a deal or not i'll be going live in in about 16 hours or so and we'll talk about some of the deals um but yeah write it down like make it your your target list and figure out what the prices are you know let me give you like um if you've ever heard of camel camel camel here's a bonus tip for those that made it to this point in the tutorial  smash like uh camel camel camel is a site that uh is is pretty cool it compares all of the history of amazon pricing so it's not going to compare it to other sites but read this so if we take the sigma 16 millimeter 1.4 to camelcamelcamel.com you ever heard about it this is why you come to think media for the tips sigma 60 millimeter 1.4 and what you can see is you can see the pricing history over time right so you can click on amazon here third party used and check that out so you can see that it's 419 right now it's peaked at much higher at a certain point around 400 and you can maybe get it used for 365. my point is do your research to figure out man what's it priced at which you'd probably know the highest was 900. what the heck and then and then you can the lowest was 300 probably used but maybe that was in good condition or an amazon warehouse deal so anyways think about resources like that that's camelcamelcamel.com and uh cool url right and uh think about resources like that definitely something to check out and um and then again i'm going to be back with actually some specific deals so those are the five tips get signed up for amazon prime. make sure you actually are seeing how much savings there are i put the link to some of the deals that are available now but like 16 on the ipad apple doesn't really discount their stuff that's like decent but some deals like that dji osmo deal on b h like that's some serious that's a really good deal so think about the actual pricing master lightning deals or lighting deals for the misspelling and um uh i think that amazon prime they're not gonna cut corners i don't think on amazon prime day i think the deals are gonna be pretty remarkable because they're trying to jump ahead of everybody everybody pushes the holidays earlier that's what we've been seeing right they're trying to get in like like notice black friday mark my words it'll start at the beginning of the month there'll be some people who are like it's black friday month and they'll like literally start at the beginning of november because they want to get the best deals in front of you before everybody else so i don't think this is gonna be a day of hype we'll have to see but i actually think that amazon's gonna come out strong so again check out links in the sitebar down below yes uh g9 you can read the replay of this tutorial  uh thanks so much for being here and of course we got tons more tutorial s coming your way soon uh here from think media um and uh if you want to actually check out my top recommendations for cameras this year. click or tap the screen to check out that tutorial  hit like if you got value out of this tutorial  or click or tap the screen for another tutorial  from think media and i will see you in the next one appreciate you.
