How Temu Works – The New eCommerce Platform That’s Changing the Game

NY Weekly Staff on November 2, 2022

How building a direct supplier-consumer relationship can lead to cheaper prices and a more sustainable ecosystem. 

You may have heard of PDD Group, the Nasdaq-listed multinational conglomerate (Nasdaq: PDD) that operates Pinduoduo, China’s largest agriculture platform. What you may not know is that PDD Group just launched Temu.com, which is quickly making a name for itself as a fastgrowing eCommerce platform in the United States that is positioned to compete against Shein. Based in Boston, Temu is a relative newcomer to the American eCommerce landscape, but it has already made waves with its low prices and unique features. So how does Temu work? Why are its prices so low? And what sets them apart from other eCommerce platforms? 

So how does Temu work?

Launched in September 2022 in the US, the platform is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, and it only takes a few minutes to sign up and start browsing the millions of products available. You can sign in with your Gmail, Facebook, Apple ID, or Twitter account. After that, you can start browsing products and adding them to your cart. The prices are clearly listed in American dollars, and there are no hidden fees or charges. 

Temu has both iOS and Android apps, so you can shop on the go. Once you find an item you like, you can add it to your cart and check out using a variety of payment methods, including credit card, PayPal, and Apple Pay. Prices are all displayed in US dollars. 

Like Amazon and other major eCommerce platforms, customers can review products and sellers on Temu. However, Temu goes a step further by allowing customers to send direct messages to sellers in order to ask questions they may have about products. This direct line of communication is designed to build trust between buyers and sellers, and it’s one of the things that sets Temu apart from other eCommerce platforms. 

What Makes Temu Different? 

One of the things that sets Temu apart is its focus on low prices. The key to Temu’s low prices is their relationship with PDD Group. PDD has direct relationships with world-class manufacturers who they have worked with in the past decade and they share this network with their child company Temu. This allows Temu to source its products at lower costs and they pass the resulting cost savings to its customers. 

Put simply, Temu’s prices are low because of the direct relationship it has with a large and sophisticated network of suppliers, skipping traditional middlemen or distributors. 

What Is the User Journey? 

Temu wants to be completely transparent with its customers from the get-go. This is why they’ve created a user journey that’s designed to give you all the information you need about an item before you even add it to your cart. The user journey allows you to know exactly where all of your products come from. This is all presented in an easily digestible format, allowing you to make an informed decision about your purchase. 

Temu is strongly committed to their social responsibility values. This is why they offer a wide range of sustainable and eco-friendly products, including recycled paper goods, organic cotton clothing, and renewable energy products, and offsets its carbon footprint with every order. 

Temu is also committed to supporting small businesses and is constantly on the lookout for new and interesting products to add to its platform. In addition to its low prices and user-friendly design, Temu’s commitment to supporting small businesses is one of the things that sets it apart from other eCommerce platforms. Thousands of small businesses have already joined Temu, and the number is growing every day. 

Can I Return Items? 

Of course, you can! While most eCommerce websites offer a 30-day return policy, Temu offers a 90-day return policy on all items. The return process is designed to be as hassle-free as possible, with a return shipping label provided for the first return in every order: 

  • Go to the “Orders” page.
    ● Select the item you want to return.
    ● Click on the “Return/Other help” button.
    ● Follow the directions to print your return shipping label.
    ● Attach the label to your package and drop it off at your local post office (USPS or UPS).
    ● Done! In 3-7 days, you’ll receive a full refund for your order.

How Do I Contact Customer Support? 

Since Temu is a new company, they’re constantly improving its customer support. They currently offer call, email, and live chat support. The best way to contact customer support is through the “Support” button. You can chat with a customer support representative 24/7. 

In brief, Temu is a different kind of eCommerce platform. A few of their distinguishing qualities are their amazing low prices, commitment to social responsibility, and their prominent support of small businesses. If you’re looking for an alternative to Amazon or other major eCommerce platforms, Temu is definitely worth checking out. With its commitment to low prices, our planet, and small businesses, Temu is a platform that you can feel good about using. Welcome to Temu, the future of eCommerce!

Latina Influencer Jules Rodriguez Launched the E-commerce Platform, BuildtoBlossom to Deliver Eco-friendly Products to the World

NY Weekly Staff on November 2, 2022

Challenging the status quo is a major quality of changemakers, and elite Latina influencer, Jules Rodriguez, is making changes through her new e-commerce brand, BuildtoBlossom.

Inspired by Amazon’s reach and influence globally and how products from the platform are not wholly eco-friendly and sustainable, Jules Rodriguez set out to change that by launching her brand to sell only eco-friendly and sustainable products. As a media professional with solid experience in e-commerce and strong influence, Jules realized that she could make a change in the e-commerce sector. The brand, BuildtoBlossom came to life and under it, Jules has launched an organic luxury skincare line and an everyday wear and activewear line with unique designs for men and women.

Jules Rodriguez’s foray into the business world was inspired by influence across multiple spaces, from entertainment to fashion, real estate and building ventures from scratch. She is a travel blogger and has received awards for the different ventures she has launched. In 2019, she received the OMMA Award for Best Advertising Campaign Chicos. The brand, BuildtoBlossom is set to feature in the 2023 Grammy Awards Celebrity Gift bags and in Haute Living this September. Her sustainable swimsuit line, which was launched in 2021, will also be a dominant part of the BuildtoBlossom brand, which is set to change the core value offerings of e-commerce brands. She has also built quite a following on TikTok with the funny videos she creates with her fiancé. 

While BuildtoBlossom is in its growth stage, it takes pride in the value it offers, which is being a sustainable marketplace. Jules has also partnered with quality eco-friendly brands while creating branded products for BuildtoBlossom to help the brand take off. The unique product styles and offerings have made many people tilt toward the brand, and Jules is enthusiastic about the growth to come.

As an influencer building businesses competing directly with global corporations, Jules Rodriguez understands that she’s taking on an enormous task and hopes her journey gives other budding entrepreneurs an insight into the world of business. “Everything seems easier on the outside. Being an influencer/content creator is a challenging job. There is a lot of work that goes behind it, and you have to be able to accept rejection and criticism easily. Launching an e-commerce is an extremely competitive space. Do your research. I went as far as obtaining a media degree and putting years in corporate before launching BuildtoBlossom. And if you really want this life, you have to be ready to work for it. Social media platforms and seeing the luxurious part of being an influencer, people assume it’s easy, but it’s really not,” Jules revealed.

Over the next few years, Jules Rodriguez sees BuildtoBlossom expanding to more international destinations and launching more branded products. Currently, the brand has a presence in Germany, Australia, UK and France. Jules’ goal is to be a recognized designer and launch a reality TV show out of her business journey. Creating a brand that makes the world better and safer is the most important part of the journey for Jules Rodriguez, and she’s excited about getting recognized for her efforts and her products globally adopted.

Toki Mats Brings Love and Care Into Your Child’s Play Area

NY Weekly Staff on November 2, 2022

Toki Mats is a mom-founded start-up that sells one-of-a-kind play mats made from non-toxic, natural materials. Cushier than carpet, and far easier to clean, these play mats offer little ones a safe and comfortable environment to bond and explore. Created by Eli Yonas, a mother and entrepreneur, the beloved business is bringing modern, reliable play mats to babies and toddlers all over the nation.

Yonas has made it her mission to create the safest, most comfortable play mats that are as functional as they are beautiful. The emerging company is bringing an innovative approach to its niche with plant-derived latex foam and two types of mat covers in organic cotton and vegan leather. The latex foam core creates a soft and bouncy feel that offers incomparable comfort and durability for the children using it. Both types of covers are fully removable and conveniently machine-washable. However, the newly-introduced vegan leather cover is entirely waterproof, allowing for mess-free play with a quick and easy cleanup. Along with the high-quality, durable materials and removable covers, the products are fully portable with their foldable design and built-in carrying handles. The combination of these unique features differentiates Toki Mats products from its competitors and makes the products truly usable everywhere for indoor and outdoor play.

Toki Mats was born in the midst of Yonas’ maternity leave, after she found herself in a predicament that many parents are familiar with. She had searched endlessly for products that met her expectations and standards when considering safety, effectiveness, and aesthetics, only to keep coming up short when it came to play mats. Dissatisfied with what the market had to offer, Yonas took it upon herself to fill that gap and create a product that she and other parents could wholly trust to be safe and comfortable for their babies.

Yonas couldn’t figure out how the existing options in one of the industry’s most heavily-used and crucially-designed niches could be so impractical for parents and children. To create the softest, highest quality, non-toxic play mat on the market, she conceptualized the model by keeping her own children’s safety at the forefront of her mind. Motivated and inspired by her own love as a mother, Yonas was able to earn the trust of other parents with the same values and concerns. Toki Mats is a company that thoughtfully and strategically crafts its products with a mother’s touch and warmth, as evidently seen in Yonas’ execution throughout the growth and development of her business.

Distinguished by the dense, springy cushioning that only latex foam can provide, Toki Mats’ products are built to last well beyond babyhood and for years on end. Based on customer feedback since the brand’s inception in 2017, families have responded positively to the soft, comfortable mats that support gross motor development and look beautiful in their homes. Parents love the modern colors and prints, while babies and toddlers are attracted to the colorful, playful designs. The socially and environmentally responsible effort has landed Toki Mats on viral lists ranging from “Newborn Must Haves” to “Products for Greener Parenting,” with many more publications praising their ongoing success. However, what excites Yonas and her team the most about the recognition is that she knows they have merely scratched the surface of the innovation she plans to continue bringing to the industry.

 

How Kquika Saves Airlines Money with Its Innovative Machine Learning Platforms

NY Weekly Staff on November 2, 2022

Kquika is solving problems for airlines and passengers with proprietary data sets and machine learning algorithms. Made by experts in aviation, their products provide airlines with the best flight path and accurate weather delay, maintenance delay and maintenance need predictions. 

With the exception of personal vehicles, the transportation industry has lagged far behind other industries on the technology front — especially when it comes to commercial aviation. Yes, airlines have been using automatic check-in kiosks for a bit, but beyond simple automations, new ideas like big data and machine learning have yet to be embraced and implemented on a wide scale. 

Kquika is working with airlines to change that and bring the commercial aviation industry into the 2020s. Just like Google Maps can find the best route, Kquika solves the same problem for flight paths, delays and maintenance. 

About Kquika

Kquika consists of two main services: a predictive maintenance platform and a disruption and recovery platform. The predictive maintenance platform utilizes use and repair data across commercial airplane models to predict when aircraft components and systems need service.

The platform empowers airlines to understand what parts of the plane will need maintenance and when. This effectively lowers maintenance costs because airlines are able to correct problems before they become catastrophic. The tool is similar to the platforms and data sets manufacturing facilities use to anticipate machine damage that could hold up production and possibly injure someone. 

Therefore, Kquika is helping airlines reduce aircraft damage and maintenance costs while keeping passengers and workers safe and free from emergency maintenance-related flight delays. Additionally, the maintenance platform works for any type of aircraft, making it a great tool for logistics companies with an airborne arm, the military, hobbyists and aviation schools. 

The disruption and recovery platform takes everything about a flight into account, including the weather, flight path, recent and future flight paths and other important airline and air traffic control data. Its machine learning algorithms use this data to calculate possible delays.       

When Kquika discovers a delay, its automated system can be programmed to send alerts to customers along with the option to rebook their flights. This works for any type of delay or missed connection. The platform gives airlines the ability to alert and reroute passengers faster and without the need for human interaction — saving airlines in two ways. First, human receptionists are not needed for rebooking and questions about delays, saving airlines on labor costs. Second, passengers are well-served with Kquika and not left standing in line waiting to speak with tellers, resulting in a good customer experience and better brand loyalty.  

Overall, the powerful and easily integrated Kquika platforms give airlines peace of mind, significant cost savings and increased customer loyalty. It also provides passengers with essential time-saving tools. 

What Kquika is Up To Today

Victor Oribamise, CEO is currently in talks with major airlines about the use of their products. One day they hope to be assisting every airline and passenger on earth with their ingenious products. This busy trio is also working on valuable new innovations to their platforms, so keep an eye on Kquika via the Kquika website, LinkedIn and Twitter for updates! 

Elizabeth Tweedale is Bringing One of the UK’s Most Successful Online Coding Schools to the United States

NY Weekly Staff on November 2, 2022

As an educator and visionary leader, Elizabeth Tweedale has spent her career creating opportunities for children to be both successful and future-ready. Several years ago, Tweedale launched Cypher Coding, a series of fun and engaging coding camps and clubs for school children aged 5-12. The program, led by Tweedale and a hand-selected team of some of the top computer science and coding instructors in the UK, was an instant success, revealing – and responding to – a growing need for tech classes designed exclusively for children.

Now, Tweedale is bringing her groundbreaking program to the United States, launching Coco Coders to fill the gap that many students experience when it comes to computer science education. It is a personal mission for Tweedale and her team – a way to elevate the quality of education in the United States by giving young students the tools they will need to compete for jobs in an evolving digital landscape. In essence, Coco Coders is empowering children to build their own futures.

“When we look at the job market and the shortage of technologically proficient professionals to fill those jobs, right now we see a lot of employers that are trying to upskill their existing staff,” Tweedale explains. “But if we take a step back and look at what is missing in our education system, there is a need for education to transform to meet those demands.”

While American education has traditionally wisely emphasized literacy and numeracy, Tweedale stresses the importance of including computer science as a foundational skill.

“At Coco Coders, we like to say that we are not trying to create a world full of little computer scientists and coders,” Tweedale says. “But when we all attended school, we all learned our times tables without becoming mathematicians; we learned to read and write without becoming authors. Computer science and coding are fundamentals that should be injected into our education system.”

While it may sound like an audacious claim – a dramatic transformation to a system that has been historically slow to change – Elizabeth Tweedale has the rare combination of experience and passion for making it seem possible. She also has the success record to prove it can be done.

After founding a successful AI company, GoSpace AI, Tweedale shifted her focus to teaching computer science and coding to children. In addition to leading Cypher – one of the leading coding schools in the United Kingdom – Tweedale is the author of several coding books for children. She and her team have spent years developing and testing their curriculum, which makes Coco Coders not simply another EdTech platform for children – it is a program that is backed by some of the leading minds in both technology and education.

Students meet once per week for one-hour online sessions, grouped together in cohorts that are intentionally limited to only a few children. This allows the instructors to maximize their learning time and gives the children the opportunity to not only develop their computer science skills but to form meaningful relationships with their online classmates. Tweedale and her team have discovered that this model provides the greatest learning outcomes for their students.

“We have taught over 12,000 students, and we can say wholeheartedly that for children learning this subject, the most effective strategy is the little-and-often approach,” Tweedale says. “Students can make big leaps in understanding during our summer camps, but the rigor of meeting once a week throughout the year, with some homework or challenges in between those meetings, really sets the foundation for their learning and success.”

With Coco Coders now available throughout the United States, parents who want to prepare their children for the future have a successful, affordable program at their fingertips. When it comes to education, technology, and the future of work, this is welcome news indeed.

With More Natural Disasters due to Global Warming, How Can We Protect Ourselves?

NY Weekly Staff on November 2, 2022

Scientists have long proven that global warming is to be taken seriously. And if that was not enough for some to entertain the idea, the extreme warmth of last summer shows that the numbers can certainly not be debated anymore. The problem is that the warmer seas and oceans get, the more devastating natural disasters can become. Here is how each individual can protect themselves by keeping a track record of their documents and belongings.

Keep All Your Most Important Documents in PDF Format

When a wildfire rages, there is often no way to know where it will be heading precisely until the last minute. And so, when families are made aware that they have to leave the house and take only their most important belongings, chances are that they will leave one or more important documents behind. And if the house is burned down to the ground, there will start the long journey of recuperation, which after the devastation will make the whole process of getting back on their feet even more difficult than it already is.

That is why these documents need to be turned into PDF files that can be kept in various locations. Think of a USB drive, an external memory and on The Cloud as well, to always have a copy in your hands, no matter what could happen, including losing them to a natural disaster. The great thing about this format is that you can actually edit a PDF online. Therefore, if you want to add notes to them, you can easily do so. For example, on a birth certificate document, you may want to add a picture of the person as well on another page. Just make sure that the documents themselves are not modified in any way; otherwise, these virtual copies that you took the time to make could be useless in the end.

Here is a quick list of some of the personal documents that are a must when you decide to create PDF copies. Of course, they should be done for each member of the family.

  • Birth and death certificates
  • Social security cards (copy of both sides)
  • ID cards and passports (for the passport, make a copy of the cover and the first four pages, where all the personal information is indicated)
  • Wills and powers of attorney (if they happen to change in time, make sure you only keep the last copy in all locations where they can find the PDF)
  • Marriage license
  • House deeds and mortgage documents
  • Pension plan
  • Green cards (if any)

Work and Insurance Documents should not be forgotten

Once you are done with your personal documents, you need to handle everything that has to do with work and the various insurances you may have acquired through time. By using PDF Smart, you can easily do the necessary file modifications by adding elements, as described below. It also lets you do a format change, as well.

Many will simply have a contract for work, which will make it easy. But for those who have a business, they will need to turn the physical business license into a PDF document. This is the most important paper that you will need to carry around. As for the rest, it will greatly depend if you work from home or an office. If the answer is “a,” then you need to make sure with your accountant that there are copies of the fiscal documents and everything that is legally binding kept somewhere safe outside your home. 

When it comes to insurance, PDF files are certainly the most secure way to make sure that if anything happens to any items of value that you own, you will be reimbursed. What you need to do is to take a picture of the object and scan the receipt that you were provided with when you bought it and add it to the document. Do this for anything that you deem worth it and save it with your personal files. If any natural disaster hits your house, and they get lost or destroyed, providing this PDF to your insurance company will simplify the reimbursement process greatly. 

Finally, you should add to these the vehicle titles that you own or are loaning at the moment. In fact, any other loan documents should also find their way on the USB, external drive and The Cloud. This is the best way to ensure that future natural disasters won’t make your life even harder than it will be.

Spanish Actor Gustavo Rojo Makes a Big Bold Move to New York to Broaden His Horizons in Broadway’s World

NY Weekly Staff on November 2, 2022

Sometimes, being is not enough and being more becomes the next desire for an individual. The desire for more is embedded in every individual, but it takes only a strong and willing mind to pursue those desires and bring them to reality. Actor Gustavo Rojo is strong-willed in every sense of the word, so he packed two suitcases and left his home country of Spain to establish a strong foothold on Broadway.

Gustavo Rojo had his start in the film industry years ago. The talented actor has been featured in projects that have been broadcast on Spain’s main networks TVE and Antenna 3 and on streaming platforms Netflix, Amazon and Filmin. His first international production was the Norwegian-Irish film “Sonja: The White Swan,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. This experience inspired him to do more with his career, and eight months ago, he arrived at the Big Apple and soon thereafter debuted in the off-Broadway play “Nylon.” 

Film and theatre mean everything to Gustavo, and in his words, “Acting is living consciously.” He sees acting as an avenue to observe the world, feel it and express it through an act of love to the audience. Thus, in his quest to achieve more, he left everything behind for a new city where he had no job offers, acquaintances, friends, and no family. 

Gustavo’s career began at the age of 15 when he started studying acting and playing small roles in theater shows. Three years later, he got into college, obtaining a double degree in journalism and audiovisual communication. He has also been involved in some people-focused activities like monitoring a project with children at risk of social exclusion for six years in the Red Cross, working in camps for senior citizens with disabilities and teaching his acting methodology called “Theatre Playing” in countries around the world, amongst others.

Some of Gustavo Rojo’s film and television appearances include “Apaches,” “Servir y Proteger”, “Centro Médico“, “Cuéntame Mómo Pasó,” “Sonja: The White Swan,” “22:23,” “Guillermo en el Tejado,” “Mario, Kike and David,” “I´m not human at all,” “Todos Los Hombres vemos porno,” and “The Gallitos”.

He has also starred in seven plays in the last four years which include, “Tabú”, ”Barcelona 92”, “El viaje de Sofía”, “La Alegría de vivir”, “Tres en conserva,” “Los años elásticos,” and “Veneno Azul Espera.”

Despite having such an impressive and extensive resume as an actor, Gustavo Rojo still believes that there is much more he can achieve in the acting world. He hopes to continue working in challenging projects and become a huge crossover star in Broadway and Hollywood while dazzling audiences and bringing relatable characters to life. “I have big dreams, and I will stop at nothing to achieve those dreams. So, I look forward to the opportunities that New York has to offer”, Gustavo said.

How Safe is NYC Compared With Other Big Cities for Pedestrians?

NY Weekly Staff on November 2, 2022

There are many incredible reasons to live in New York, but safety concerns often prevent people from moving about. A rise in subway crimes has instilled a fear of returning to the office, and driving can come with its own frustrations. With that said, is NYC a safe place for pedestrians?

Contacting an Expert Lawyer if You’re Hit by a Vehicle

If you were hit by a motor vehicle, it’s in your best interest to contact an award-winning team of pedestrian accident lawyers like Munley Law. Even if you don’t feel hurt or you’re able to walk away from the scene, there’s a possibility your injuries are worse than you initially thought.

A lawyer can represent you in court, help you collect evidence, and ensure you receive compensation for your injuries. A head injury, broken bone, or internal wound could make it impossible for you to work for some time, and a settlement will help keep you comfortable.

New York City’s Pedestrian Safety Index

According to the New York City Pedestrian Safety and Action Plan released in 2010, New York City had a staggeringly low pedestrian fatality rate. Of 100,000 residents, 3.49 were killed. Still, pedestrians accounted for 52% of New York traffic fatalities and 33% of all severe injuries.

In this same paper, Atlanta, Detroit, Lost Angeles, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Chicago, Washington, DC, San Francisco, Boston, and Seattle had higher pedestrian fatality rates. Only Portland had a lower pedestrian fatality rate than New York at 3.39 per 100,000 residents.

In 2019 and 2020, New York achieved a .90 per 100,000 residences fatality rate, but 2021 saw a 15.5% increase in pedestrian deaths to 1.04 pedestrian fatalities per 100,000 people. New York had the fourth-highest rise in pedestrian fatalities from 2020-2021, from 10 to 55.

How Does New York City Compare to Other US Cities?

New York City isn’t the safest city for pedestrians, but it also isn’t the most dangerous. In 2021, most US cities saw their pedestrian safety rating and pedestrian fatalities increase significantly.

America is Becoming Unsafe for Pedestrians

Pedestrian fatalities are the highest they’ve been since 1982 for four reasons. For one, the US is lacking sidewalks and favors drivers. Unlike many European cities, it’s difficult to get anywhere without a car. But if you can’t afford a car, you have to put up with public transit or walk on the grass or road. Most US drivers won’t yield or stop for bicycles or strollers. 

This infrastructure forces more people to drive, which puts more dangerous or neglectful people behind the wheel. Distracted driving and speed limit offenses are more common than ever. 

If you can’t afford to drive, you typically live in more dangerous or rundown neighborhoods, where the bus system is subpar, or roads are difficult to drive on. This means more people are walking, drivers who drive these roads may be aggressive, or the roads make it hard to stop.

Finally, the number of trucks and SUVs on the road outnumbers passenger cars. The biggest cars on the road tend to be more deadly, but little is being done to curb their sale.

The Safest Cities for Pedestrians in 2021

Despite these findings, there are plenty of safe places in the US for Americans to walk. An Insurify survey revealed that an average of 66.3 out of 100,000 drivers across 80 cities had a prior citation for failing to yield to pedestrians, and every region has four cities in the top 20.

The top 5 safest cities for pedestrians in the US include:

  • Portland, Oregon: 27.6 per 100,000
  • Chicago, Illinois: 43.7 per 100,000
  • Miami, Florida: 40.2 per 100,000
  • Newark, New Jersey: 37.1 per 100,000
  • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: 17.2 per 100,000 motorists

New York City wasn’t in the top 20, but Buffalo, New York, has a 49.6 per 100,000 failing to yield rating, which is 25% lower than the national average. Chesapeake, Virginia, was the most dangerous city for pedestrians in the US, with a 155.2 out of every 100,000 failing to yield rating.

How Caleb Boxx and YouTube Automation are Guiding Clients to Becoming Highly Successful Content Creators

NY Weekly Staff on November 1, 2022

To put it frankly, Caleb Boxx, the founder of YouTube Automation, is helping everyone, especially Gen-Zers, supplement their income on the video streaming platform.

Boxx has built what has steadily become the top agency in serving creators to potentially produce nearly six-to-seven figures each year out of sheer grit and determination. In fact, some clients, who have a combined over 10 million subscribers, have even gone on to produce a staggering $100K in a single month.

He attacked an under-utilized space and made it his own.

How does one man and a team of 200+ employees help clients generate revenue on YouTube? It’s simple. There are two programs they can take advantage of, but he primarily focuses on videos that you can not only watch, but also read.

“We manufacture ‘faceless’ videos on YouTube while outsourcing cost-efficient, online freelancers to create the content,” said Boxx. “We start off by doing our market research by helping clients find the niche that is the most profitable for them, followed by delegating talent and building a system. All the while, we offer clients both consistency and virality methods to help them generate revenue. In fact, we only profit from the ads displayed on YouTube.”

The Pillars of YouTube Automation

Boxx and his team currently sport two flagship offerings as part of joining the YouTube Automation family, the Elite Membership Program and Automation Program.

The Elite Membership Program requires just seven hours each week for busy entrepreneurs who may have some time, but not all the time, to contribute to their YouTube automation efforts. Boxx and his team will set clients up in this program with an expert group, one which is collectively hardworking, reliable and helpful, YouTube University training videos, weekly Zoom mentorship calls, a mentorship group invite and 1-1 mentorship calls, possible access to brand deals (dependent on the growth of one’s channel), and graphic designer (for logos), plus so much more!

In fact, with this program, clients are set up with a pre-monetized channel that will see an immediate 1,000 subscribers and as many as 4,000 watch hours. Many YouTube personalities and high-profile, high-earning celebrities have gone through this program, including Foeko, who has over 1.2 million subscribers.

“Caleb (Boxx) changed my life. My channel was not going anywhere. I reached out to him and he showed me to work smart instead,” he said. “Immediately, in two weeks, my channel grew from 300 subscribers a day to over 5,000! Worth the money so long as you execute on the knowledge.”

Additionally, the Elite Membership Program is not reserved for high-profile YouTube automators and seasoned personalities. It is also offered to anyone looking to boost their personal brands or newcomers to automation as well.

The other offering from Boxx and Co., the Automation Program, is for those who have little to no time to dedicate to their channels. All that is required is 30 minutes to one hour.

The 12-month campaign calls for Boxx and his team to not only formulate, but also manage the content and automation team dedicated to the client who opts for this program. Clients will garner eight videos per month and have access to consulting calls with YouTube automation professionals, be included in group chat channels with managers and consultants, are offered courses to help with automation tips and backend system management and maintenance, and can even be offered brand deals if the channel performs and grows.

Some clients have seen a 10x spike overnight, while others have generated more than $50K in additional revenue per ad revenue.

Origin Story

Boxx, a former gamer and streamer, first started making websites for clients at just 11 years old. He launched his first YouTube channel in 2016, followed by another in 2017, which grew to well over 80,000 followers in just three months.

He knew he was onto something when he made his first $20K in just six months, which prompted him to venture out on his own for the first time, away from home, in 2018, when he moved to Dallas, Texas. This is when he created his business model for YouTube automation and began schooling others on the business and helping them too.

With over $10 million in revenue generated already in 2022, from sales and client ads, the sky’s the limit for Boxx and his team at YouTube Automation.

The World’s #1 High Stakes Performance Coach Tom McCarthy Shares the Secrets to Success in His Groundbreaking Book “The Breakthrough Code”

NY Weekly Staff on November 1, 2022

People who have cracked the code to success are few and far between. Anyone can aspire to succeed, but undoubtedly there are numerous limits that come into play once people start striving to reach the top. It is an arduous task that only a few have been able to achieve, but knowledge and passion can be the great equalizer, and with a seasoned entrepreneur’s guidance, success is all but guaranteed. Fortunately, Tom McCarthy’s groundbreaking book, “The Breakthrough Code,” discusses his methods in intricate detail, helping aspirants break through their limits and reach their maximum potential in business, athletics and life. 

Earning his keep as one of the world’s most inspirational coaches, Tom has forged a path of success not just for himself but for anyone who has had the pleasure of working with him. Currently, the firebrand individual is the CEO and a board member of eight companies, an early-stage investor in over 40 companies and a worldwide Philanthropist. 

Tom has built a pristine reputation in the industry, earning him the title of the World’s #1 High Stakes Performance Coach. With Tom, peak performance is the name of the game. Throughout his seasoned career, he has been the coach for athletes who have won World Championships and Olympic Gold Medals.

With a burning passion for helping others, Tom decided to write not just any other self-help book but one that could ultimately shape the lives of those who read it. Earlier in 2022, he published “The Breakthrough Code,” a powerful narrative tale that recounts the many successful principles and habits he shares with top executives, Olympic athletes, and successful entrepreneurs. 

“The Breakthrough Code” is foundationally rooted in Tom McCarthy’s three big ideas. The main character, 24-year-old Jonathan Bowman, portrayed as the archetypal success most people dream of being, learns these big ideas alongside the reader, as the book prominently discusses the intricacies on every page. 

The first big idea, “Focus on Less, Then Obsess,” revolves around figuring out one clear path to success instead of diversifying one’s focus into vastly different facets of life. After all, no obstacle is too big for a laser-focused individual to break through. 

The second big idea, “Upgrade Your Story, Upgrade Your Life,” explains the remarkable ability of stories to shape the lives of people. Upgrading one’s story is about gaining a new perspective and building a better outlook by looking inwards. Tom says that the stories we tell ourselves become our own capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Thus, confining oneself to a limited belief will result in living a life with nothing but limits. 

Lastly, “Pack Your Day with Effective Actions” ties all these concepts together by seamlessly blending visualization with effective action. Tom separates these effective actions into two categories called “recovery actions,” such as meditating, sleeping, or spending quality time with family, and “achievement actions,” such as conceptualizing ideas, creating content, going to meetings, writing emails, negotiating and selling. 

Renowned American author, life and business coach, keynote speaker, and philanthropist Tony Robbins holds “The Breakthrough Code” in such high regard. In his remarkable review of the book, the New York Times #1 Bestselling Author said: “Tom McCarthy is a masterful breakthrough coach with a gift for helping others see the power in their story. When life doesn’t work out according to your plan, that is actually the plan. Adversity is what allows us to grow, and nobody understands that better than Tom. This book provides the blueprint to crack the code and live a life without limits.”

Tom McCarthy has cemented himself as one of the greatest thought leaders of his time. His wildly entertaining and insightful “The Breakthrough Code” has helped countless aspirants live a life without limits by absorbing the many details on every page. To this day, Tom continues to create informative content on Instagram to help people create life’s biggest breakthroughs. Recently, Tom was also a guest on Ed Mylett’s podcast, where they talked about reprogramming the mind to achieve one’s maximum potential.
