0:00 So if you're running an online store, you know that feeling, right? 0:04 That frustrating gap between listing a product and actually knowing if it's a hit. 0:08 Well, today, we're going to break down a tool that's designed to close that gap for good. 0:13 The live tool from Hustle Got Real. 0:15 It shows you what's happening in your store as it happens. 0:18 I mean, this really is the million-dollar question, isn't it? 0:22 You've got dozens, maybe even hundreds of products out there. 0:25 But which ones are people actually clicking on? 0:27 Like, right this second? 0:28 It's usually just a guessing game. 0:30 And you know that uncertainty? 0:33 That's the exact problem we're talking about. 0:35 Your online store can sometimes feel like a total black box. 0:39 You list all these great products, but you can't really see what's catching people's eyes in real time. 0:44 Think about it. 0:45 There's always this lag between putting something up for sale and getting the actual data back. 0:50 And in that gap, you're pretty much flying blind. 0:52 You're missing that initial buzz, that little spark of interest that could tell you, hey, this one's a winner, long before the first sale even rolls in. 1:00 Okay, so how do we fix this? 1:02 How do we get rid of that guesswork? 1:04 Well, this is where the live tool comes in. 1:07 It's designed to completely wipe out that guesswork, giving you this direct, real-time window into what's happening in your store. 1:13 And what's so cool about it is that this isn't just another boring report or a static dashboard. 1:19 Nope. 1:20 It's a living, breathing, interactive map. 1:23 Every single time someone views one of your products or adds it to their watch list, boom, you see it happen right away. 1:30 And this is what it looks like. 1:32 It takes all that abstract data, you know, clicks, views, and turns it into something you can actually see. 1:38 It's a global event happening right on your screen. 1:42 That little blip of light you see, that could be someone halfway across the world checking out your product right now. 1:48 It's literally a live feed of your store's reach. 1:50 All right, so you're probably thinking, this looks awesome. 1:54 How do I get it running? 1:55 Well, the best way to do it is with this super simple one-time setup that makes sure you never miss a thing from now on. 2:01 It really couldn't be easier. 2:03 You just pop over to your settings, then select your store, and from there, just click on the product tab. 2:08 That's it. 2:09 Three clicks. 2:11 Okay, this is the most important part, right here. 2:14 You're just looking for this little toggle that says add new listings to analytics. 2:19 Just flick that switch on and you're all set for the future. 2:22 So why is this the way to go? 2:24 Simple. 2:25 It's a set it and forget it deal. 2:26 Once you do this, every single new product you add gets tracked automatically. 2:31 No more going in and selecting things by hand. 2:34 And most importantly, you'll never have a blind spot on 2:37 your newest stuff ever again. 2:38 Okay, but what happens if you've already been using the platform for a while and you never turn this on? 2:43 You might log in and see nothing. 2:46 Don't panic. 2:47 This is super common and the fix is incredibly fast. 2:50 So 2:51 if you open up the live tool and you see this yellow warning bar staring back at you, seriously, don't worry. 2:58 It's not a bug. 2:59 It's not an error. 3:00 It's just the system's way of saying, hey, let's get your existing products tracked. 3:04 All this little message means is that, yeah, you've got active products in your store, but you just haven't told the system which ones you want to see on that cool live map yet. 3:14 The tool's ready to go. 3:15 It's just waiting for your green light. 3:17 And getting that green light is, you guessed it, just three clicks. 3:21 First, you're going to click the link right there in the warning message. 3:24 Second, you can either pick and choose your products or, my favorite, just hit select all to grab everything. 3:30 And third, just click that track button to lock it in. 3:33 Done. 3:34 So when you click that link, it brings you right here to this nice, clean list of all your products. 3:39 From this screen, you are totally in control. 3:42 You can get super specific about what you track or you can just track the whole shebang. 3:46 It's all about what works for your strategy. 3:49 Okay, so you're all set up. 3:51 You've got the map. 3:52 Things are blinking. 3:53 Now what?
