Auto news on Youtube Dec 14 2018

Hey everyone, my name is Aja Dang

and I have a YouTube channel called Aja Dang

where we talk about everything

from finances, student loan debt,

to body issues, to skincare, natural beauty

and just overall how to feel really good about yourself.

I've had my website with Squarespace for a couple years now

and throughout the years,

my website, as well as my career,

has changed and evolved and now,

I need something totally different

than what I needed when I first launched my website.

Currently, I needed a website

that not only shows off photography,

but also shares my favorite product recommendations,

has an awesome, easy to navigate storefront

and also has a way for my followers to connect with me.

I recently started to sell merchandise on my website

and I needed an online store

that not only was easy to navigate

but showed off my products in a premium way

as well as explaining that proceeds

of the sales of my products

go to some of my favorite charities

and Squarespace is the perfect all in one platform

to display all of these.

Your website should be an extension of you

and feature everything you want to show your audience.

If you're looking to jump into online commerce,

you absolutely need an online store

that allows you to sell your products

while representing your style, brand

and vision to the world.

This is exactly why Squarespace

was perfect for my online store.

I wanted a website that gives visitors a glimpse of who I am

and what my brand is while allowing me

to sell my products, update inventory,

manage orders, stay in touch with my audience

and keep an eye on the data Squarespace analytics gives me

about my website.

Squarespace offers all of these tools and more

and it all starts with choosing the right template.

Squarespace offers such beautiful templates to get started,

that no matter what industry your business is in,

they have the perfect template for you.

If you head over to squarespace.com/templates/online-stores,

you can see for yourself.

Now my website it the template Marta

and I love it, but please makes sure

to choose one that fits you best.

The template is just a starting point

and if you decided later on that another template fits

your online store slightly better,

you can easily switch at any point.

I wanted my visitors to be able to navigate

through my site quickly without having them click

on a lot of pages.

That's why my website utilizes the Index Page feature

from Squarespace and here's how to build it.

Navigate to your home menu and click Pages.

Click the plus icon and then click Index.

Give your Index a title and hit enter.

Hover over the Index and click the gear icon

to adjust the Index's page settings.

Within the page's panel, click the plus icon

within your Index.

Here's where you add any images or blocks

that you want to show your visitors

from the moment they land on your site.

Within my homepage Index is an Image Block

for A Woman's Worth.

I go into more detail later in the video

but this was created by making an Image Block,

uploading a photo and selecting the Overlap feature

in the Design tab.

A button was added that takes the visitor directly

to my online store.

So the index can act as a preview

for the larger features of the site.

Site Styles, also known as the Style Editor,

is a great tool to learn early on

so the tone of your site is established,

allowing you to focus on the content of your site later.

Choosing the right template gets you started

but tweaking elements in the Site Styles panel

is where your website really starts to come to life.

For example, I really wanted a classical looking font

for my logo and other places across my site.

That's why the font Minerva Modern was chosen.

I think it looks like the spread of a fashion magazine

while keeping everything simple and stylish.

You see my name at the top of the page?

I want to make it a little more prominent.

Now don't let all the options

in the Site Styles panel freak you out.

It's a good thing you have so much control over

all of your elements.

What's even better is that Squarespace makes it easier

for the users to quickly navigate

to the elements they want to change.

Watch this.

When my name is clicked, those design elements appear

in the panel so I find it faster.

Now that the element is clicked,

adjusting the size of the font

is very simple and straightforward.

Make sure to explore Site Styles when building your website.

Now once you get the hang of Site Styles,

you can make changes to other elements

of your site's appearance.

You can copy and paste certain colors

to make sure the color scheme is carried across the site.

You can change the fonts and spacing of certain headings.

Just so you know,

different templates offer different options

in the Sites Style's panel.

Squarespace offers great ways

to control several aspects of your site

but minimizes the work involved in doing it.

All right, now let's shift to the main focus

of this video, showing you how to build an online store.

Squarespace makes it very easy

to add products to your online store.

It doesn't matter if you're selling a physical product,

digital product, service product, or even a gift card.

Squarespace has you and your business covered.

What you want to do is create a products page

to display all of the items you plan on selling.

In order to do this, in your home menu,

click Pages and then click the plus icon

to add the Products page.

Select Products from the menu.

Give your Products page a title and then hit enter.

There are actually two different ways

to add products to sell.

The first is adding them directly to the Products page,

which is what we'll do be doing

but you can also add them to the Inventory panel

which we'll go over in just a little bit.

On your products page, click the plus icon

and select what kind of product it is.

Since my site sells tee shirts, this is a physical product.

In the next window,

you are able to supply all the information

about your item in one place to get it ready to sell.

In the item tab, you can add images

of your product,

the title,

price,

and description.

If you want to include multiple angles,

Squarespace allows you to upload multiple images

for the product.

Within this window, you can add Tags and Categories

to organize all of your products.

This way, visitors can navigate to other items you sell

by clicking on a category navigation link

or by searching for a tag.

More than likely, you have at least one

or more social media accounts attached

to you or your business.

Squarespace allows you to connect your social media accounts

on this window so whenever you add a product,

all of your followers know it immediately.

We'll get to connecting social media in just a bit.

When you're ready, you can hit save and publish.

Once published, this sets the product

as available for purchase.

Earlier I mentioned that there was another way

to add products to your product pages

and that's through your Inventory panel.

It is helpful if you have more than one product page

at this point, so you're gonna go ahead

and create a new one real fast.

Just like before, in the home menu,

click Pages and then click the plus icon

to add the Products page.

Give your Products page a different title

and then hit enter.

Now go back to the home menu and click Inventory.

This is a great tool to manage all

of your inventory across your entire store.

Click on add product and select

which product page your product will be added to.

Just like before, all you need to do is follow the steps

and fill out all of the information about your product.

Even though Squarespace makes it easy

for your customers to checkout,

I wanna go over a few things really fast

so you're aware of the options you have at your fingertips.

You can add a Mailing List option to checkout

so customers can stay subscribed

to any updates about your business.

You can enable Express Checkout.

This way, a customer can go directly to checkout

on each item, rather than adding it to a cart.

You can even change where your customers

are directed on your site

if they click the "Continue Shopping" link.

To make sure everything is working properly

and to get an idea of what checkout

will be like for your customers,

you can go into Test Mode.

In your home menu, click Payments.

Click on Test Mode so the toggle is on

and then click Save.

When you add a product to your cart and go to checkout,

Test Mode will appear in the banner

and a test credit card number will automatically populate.

Go through the necessary steps to complete the order

and you can then see it in your Orders panel.

When you're done, go back to the home menu,

click Settings, then Payments,

and Test Mode to make sure to click the toggle off.

Then click Save.

Each time a customer orders something

from your Squarespace online store,

you'll get a notification via email

or you can download the Squarespace commerce app

to get push notifications to your phone.

These notifications will include the billing information,

shipping information, item details

and any information submitted through product

or checkout forms.

To manage your order, go to Home Menu

and click Commerce, then click Orders.

Once you find the order, click to open it.

When your order has been sent,

you can hit Mark Fulfilled.

Squarespace offers an automatic email option

to send to your customers, notifying them

that the order has been fulfilled.

To do this, leave "Send Order Fulfilled Notification" checked

and the email will be sent immediately.

If the order is a physical product,

this is where you can include a tracking number

so your customer knows when to expect delivery.

I cannot stress this enough

but every person with a Squarespace site

has a tool that they might not be aware of

and that is Analytics.

Squarespace offers their users super detailed information

about the visitors that come to their website

and how they interact with your online store.

Go to the home menu and select Analytics.

Here's where you can find out how many visitors you've had,

if these visitors are new or returning,

which of your pages gets the most hits,

what's the most popular content on your site and more.

The data that Analytics provides

can help target new audiences

and help maintain the audiences

that are already coming to your site.

One of my favorite things is clicking on Geography

so I can see where visitors are based

and this lets me know just how far the Aja Dang brand

is reaching in the world.

You can increase your website's visibility

by using Squarespace's Search Engine Optimization,

also known as SEO.

A good way to think about it is what terms

or keywords would you use when looking online

for something specific and then work from there.

Once you have a list of keywords that could drive traffic

to your site through a search engine,

consider placing them naturally in text

that provides relevant details about the site.

If you are a business selling online

and in a physical location,

make sure you list your business address on your site.

You can do this in more than one way.

The first is through Map Blocks.

On a page, click an insert point

and select Map from the menu.

From here, a map displays.

This allows you to add an exact address

which is represented on the map shown.

You can also add your business address

through the business information window.

Go to the home menu, click Settings,

and then Business Information.

From here, you can add the name

and address in the fields provided.

The address added here will appear

in your order emails sent to customers.

Incorporating social media into your Squarespace site

is very simple.

It's great to add an Instagram block to my page

so whenever I upload something new to Instagram,

my website is automatically updated

without me having to manually add a photo.

The first thing you'll need to do

is head on over to your home menu and click Settings.

Click on Connected Accounts and then Connect Account.

Select Instagram from the social accounts menu

and from there, you'll need

to login using your Instagram username and password.

Just so you know, you can do the same thing

with your Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr,

LinkedIn, Facebook and even Snapchat accounts.

Once you have your Instagram account connected,

go to the page where you want

to feature your Instagram photos.

Select an insert point

and scroll down the menu to Social Blocks.

There, you select Instagram and click.

Squarespace has done a great job

of giving options for how these photos are displayed.

In the Design tab, there are four options:

Slideshow,

Carousel,

Grid,

and Stacked.

Let's say you want your visitors to go directly

to your social media pages

instead of viewing them as blocks on your site.

For example, on my site, there are different image blocks

that link directly to my Twitter,

Instagram and YouTube accounts.

This is done with Click-Through URLs.

Go to a page and click an insert point

and then click Image Block from the menu.

Upload or add your image in the window

and then click the Design tab.

Scroll to Click-Through URL

and add the URL link you want your visitors directed to.

If you want the link to pop-up in a new window,

make sure you click the "Open in New Window" option.

Click apply and now the photos you add

to your site are active.

That's it!

Believe me, I know building a website

might seem super intimidating

but throughout this process, I want you to have fun

and I also want you to know

that you can build the website of your dreams.

You just need to play around

with some of Squarespace's features to get there.

Now head over to Squarespace's YouTube channel

and how they can help you get started on your own website

and if you currently have a website using Squarespace,

5 Keys That Build A Healthy Romantic Relationship - Duration: 14:51.

Hey everyone this is Bridget and today I'll give you my top 5 tips on how to

have a healthy romantic relationship! We just celebrated our five-year

anniversary so I wanted to give you my five real tips that worked in helping

our relationships thrive and moving through challenges so that you can have

some template of modeling of what a healthy relationship would be. If you're

new to the channel WELCOME, be sure to hit the subscribe button and the bell

button, so that you get notified every time I come out with new videos! Be

sure to watch to the end because I have some controversial tips in this video so

I want to make sure you catch those because it's probably something you've

never heard before. My first tip getting into it quite simply is having

dedicated special time together so this looks like a date night at least once a

week or two times a week or a day that you spend together that is special very

concentrated on the appreciation for each other because one of the things

that happens in relationships especially long-term relationships living together

spending a lot of time together is that everything just becomes flatter or you

know kind of tensions build or it's pretty good this kind of like slight

rollercoaster but not too much and so it's very important to infuse that

passion that connection that appreciation dedicated presence to each

other because when you're in each other's lives

it ends up being that it's just kind of you're at each other's periphery and

might not have that dedicated focus and when you do that it creates greater

depth of connection because you might think that you know exactly what's going

on with your partner because you're with them a lot but there might be something

deeper that never got to be asked for or it evoked from each other to realize

that there's something more going on there in a beautiful way and also to

spend these times together so that it can rekindle attraction can

action and appreciation so this specific dedicated time for date nights and

special communions together is critical to the success of a long-term

relationship number two is radical honesty now the

thing is is if you have this connected bonded relationship that you have

cultivated to say through these date nights these dedicated special times you

know that you're in love you know that you're connected you know that you're

feeling and seeing each other in a bright light so that wouldn't you need

to bring things up and be honest with each other

there already is that dedicated space that foundation of deepened connection

on say a weekly level and that's really important because one of the reasons

that people don't want to be honest is they're scared of what the other person

might do will the other person leave while the other person get mad or the

other person say no and so what happens is we kind of like hide this this stuff

that we might want to address maybe things from the past resentments things

that trigger us and those just kind of stay bottled up in the side sidelines

and you know what I'm talking about comment below if you've seen this before

where you see relationships and people in couples over long term and it feels

really uncomfortable to be around them because you're like wow you guys have

got a lot of stuff going on or there's that digging comment or those kinds of

things and you can feel it in the fields the energy field of the couple and it's

just not healthy and it's not fun for either of you so it feels kind of

counterintuitive to be like alright let's bring up the dirty mess in the

closet and really address it because one of the things that happens is when

you're in proximity so much is so easily to be in that triggered space especially

if it's something that's come up over time for a long time and so it's

challenging to be in a present kind loving space to then address these

things so developing really clear and loving communication is critical and I'm

going to do a whole video on that with Patrick about

and communication because that's fundamental to a healthy relationship

but nonetheless just starting to get that idea that we really have to be

completely honest with our partners and that develops intimacy that develops

connection so to begin creating a space for that is to return to a place of

cultivated appreciation and love and depth with each other which can happen

through such things as date nights radical honesty is also with yourself of

how you're feeling of what you need of you bringing up crap from the past and

being honest about maybe the things that you could do better on your end so it's

not just about the other person so it's really about radical honesty of taking

responsibility for yourself in the relationship and when you do that and

when you take that in then you can let it transform in you and that'll help if

the relationship because then the person will feel open to that space of you

taking responsibility for that and you're not on the defence number three

is a common vision what is the relationship for like why are you in

relationship right if you ever asked that question asked that question to

your partner asked that question to yourself it's a very important question

and for me one of the things in our relationship that's so pivotal is

personal growth development because relationships especially intimate

relationships are an absolute mirror and bring up your stuff and are very

revealing also can be very confronting because they're so deep and connective

and can be quite vulnerable and scary so it's a real place for growth and

learning and so that's one of the reasons that I love actually being in a

partnership now customarily people are in relationships because that's what

you're supposed to do and you like you know you're attracted the other person

you want to have sex or end up living together or you know something happens

or that's just what you think you're supposed to do but actually having a

clear and defined vision for wieder together makes it really easy then when

you need to have those honest conversations to go okay we said that

we're all about really becoming better people and really

becoming more loving so let's have this conversation and if you already have a

foundation of what your vision for the relationship is then the other person

can be like oh okay I agreed to that so let me move site my

trigger let me move aside my ego in this moment and and go towards the common

goal of the relationship and this means also being on the same team you're going

towards something together and that's really significant too so clearly

defining what is the vision of the relationship and why are you in the

relationship in the first place so it's very important to clarify now number

four is the controversial one okay let me just do me a little story here but

this is worth it okay so I had a boyfriend when I was 22 and he was 32 so

he was a bit older more experienced two had girlfriends they had lived with for

years so he had experience and relationships and what worked and what

didn't work and one of the things that he said to me is that I can't sleep in

the same room with you nor could i with the other girlfriends because I need to

be in my own energy and I was absolutely devastated I was like like what is wrong

with me even though he said that that was the same with all of his girlfriends

it was something that they had figured out that doesn't work and this is an

interesting a concept so let's get into it a little bit the idea of maintaining

your own energy in a relationship it seems counter to because it's a

relationship so we're supposed to be together right and we have these painted

pictures from fairytale movies and romantic comedies that you're supposed

to just be like this forever you know every day every night and have this like

passion and connection and depth 100% of the time and it's just not to reality I

think maybe some people have that I've never met those people but one of the

things that if you're not that kind of person what can work whether you're a

codependent person or not you're a very free person is that we need to maintain

or own personal soul sovereignty we have

our own beautiful essence and is meant to express things in the world and so

what happens when we are making love with our partner all the time or in

their space all the time is our auras become intertwined we can't use that

idea of like two people becoming one and in ways yes that's going to happen there

are going to be commonalities and that merging of energy and consciousness is

beautiful and at the same time it's not really sustainable because we didn't

come in as one person we came in is two people so it's very important to develop

this and maintain individual sovereignty within relationship now why no I don't

want to so you might be asking why what is the advantage to me keeping my

individual sovereignty one it really helps that resentment and triggering in

the field that is actually the part of your soul that starts to get angry

because it wants to express itself its own way so that's one of the advantages

but the huge advantage is it actually creates much more attraction and sexual

energy so this idea of after the honeymoon phase and things fade and

there might not be as much sexual activity or attraction is in my opinion

connected to this merging of energies where you're so each other's energies

that there's no polarity anymore there's no synergy to then create the attraction

to then continue to develop in a sexual sensual manner I have a video on this

you can go check it out so one of the things that we've done for the past five

years is we've had separate bedrooms okay so this stemmed from my

relationship with this guy that I was devastated about

but then after I got over my own ego wounding so possibly not being enough

for whatever I realized it was actually genius and this is something that I've

developed in relationships and this has created an immense

of attraction and excitement to be together when you haven't been together

for a night of sleep so it is a real amazing trick and I would recommend it

if this is something again controversial to say your partner show them this video

and then it doesn't have to be necessarily coming from your mouth but

they can maybe see some of the advantages to it it's been really

amazing for me to continue on my own spiritual journey and have my own dreams

literally my own dream space and for my partner as well and other friends and

such have had wonderful experiences with it too it's really important if you're

empathic it's really important if you're a sensitive sleeper and it's really

important if you're on a spiritual journey so that you can accelerate in

your own direction and the thing is is that when you then kind of build back up

that energy of you and you come back together it's so much more vital and

alive just in the sharing and the connection and the depth so another

piece of this is maintaining your individuality within the relationship so

there's the energetic of maybe sleeping in different rooms but there's also the

idea of maintaining your own individual interests and sovereignty because this

then creates something new to come back to and to share and having other

experiences with other friends or doing things that you love is so important to

your own heart and souls desire so that you feel alive and vibrant and I feel

one of the reasons that people get like crusty and negative in long-term

relationships is because they've sacrificed everything that they are and

everything that they've loved and when we actually include that and we make it

inclusive within the relationship the relationship can be so much more juicy

and vibrant and new and fresh all the time now number five which is the exact

opposite of that is maintaining common interests so funny enough uni it's

important to have separate interests and that you love and passions you pursue on

your own and not needing your other partner to do that

with you and then the other piece is to have common interests because the thing

is is if you go towards this path radical honesty you start doing all the

things that you love and then also you just might not have any commonality and

that might tell you something so that's something to look out for but also in

that space that's really important to add into the vision add into the energy

pot of the relationship well what do we want to develop together what do we want

to do together and this goes a little bit back to the visioning and so when

you have these common interests together it makes it so much again more dynamic

and fun like maybe you exercise together maybe you do spiritual courses together

maybe you travel together there's certain things that you develop and

enrich and have those vital experiences together so that's also very important

as well is this separate energy and this connective energy so that you're growing

in the same direction because one of the challenges that come up in a lot of

long-term relationships is that one person is like like accelerating

whatever that may mean that I mean in health in in spirituality in these

different categories and then the other partner is just complacent and not doing

anything we're not going in that direction and so all of a sudden you're

two different people and that's where the challenges start so it's really

important to come together and see if you do have those common interests and

the common vision of what you want to create in a relationship together so

that it is vibrant and alive and a living breathing being of your guyses

connection and intimacy so these have been my top five keys to have and

cultivate a healthy long-term romantic relationship and I hope you've enjoyed

TWO STEPS to build a stronger sales pipeline - Duration: 1:29.

- Here are two steps to build a stronger sales pipeline

in global commercial banking.

Earlier in my sales career back in the UK,

I was tasked with selling premium commercial cards

to a very cost-conscious industrial

and agricultural customer base in the North Midlands.

Anyway, I hadn't won a single transaction in six months.

So it made me really step back,

and I ask myself,

what are the characteristics of my ideal customers?

And what events generated demand for my services?

I determined I need to be targeting IT businesses

with frequent international travelers.

I asked for transfer to cover the Heathrow Airport,

business travel area,

and I won my first transaction in three days.

Now I learn the hard way.

But I learned by employing two simple steps,

you can build a sales pipeline that moves so much faster.

Step one, really understand

your client ideal characteristics.

And step two,

what are the events that generated demand

for your product or services.

So my challenge to you

is to look at your current sales pipeline

and make sure you're spending your precious time

with your ideal clients at the right time.

Now let me know how this works for you.
