Transcript

One of the things I think the internet has shown us is that you got to directly connect with the people that you're trying to reach. You want as few intermediaries and as few sort of artificial blocks between you and what you're trying to do or what you're trying to say or who you're trying to reach as possible, right? You want those one-on-one interactions. And I don't know if you've seen this app Whatnot, but it's live shopping. So sellers have direct access to their customers in real time where people are seeing your face and not a website, not a logo whatnot is the largest dedicated live shopping platform beauty collectibles electronics luxury fashion even cookies people who sell those things are building real thriving businesses on whatnot anyone can sell whether your business is big or small just starting and people selling on whatnot sell 10 times more than on other major marketplaces because you're not just listing products you're building a real direct connection with buyers across whatnot the number of sellers making over $1 million a year has doubled. That means it's not just a side hustle, but a real path to building something that lasts. Just search Whatnot, W-H-A-T-N-O-T, in the App Store, download it, and you can start selling and buying right away.
