So as I've been doing this online endeavor, I have published two books. One book here, Helicopter Checkride, which has an Amazon bestseller status that I got 12 hours after I launched it. And since then, I've taken that notebook that I told you about, this beat up old notebook that started all this training. I converted it into an Amazon book as well. The beauty is publishing books is way more easy than you might think. It's very easy to do. I'm going to walk you through exactly how I've done that. The beautiful thing is once you do the work and you get the book out there, Amazon takes care of it. They take care of the orders, they take care of the shipping. You don't house anything, you don't do anything. You let Amazon sell the book, make the book, ship the book. You every month, get a check at the end of the month. So hopefully that sheds a little light on kind of what I've done, where I've came from and why I am excited about online businesses. And I still enjoy flying, I still enjoy teaching and instructing, but I also enjoy the online part of it. The creation process, building a product and shipping it to people all over the world is an incredible thing. I have a whole system set up with computers and a server. I got all kinds of gadgetry to show you, and I'll show you the DVD process. And it's all very obtainable. Most of this equipment is not very expensive. And the other beautiful thing is you can start with virtually no money. I started with a little camera. You can shoot your videos with, your iPhone, your iPad, you can buy a nice Canon camera. The technology now has gotten so cheap and easy to use. Microphones are cheap. Everything that you need is a very, very small investment. So I hope you're excited, hope you're ready to get going. The next video. I'm just going to kind of start from scratch and start walking you through how I've created and how I operate my online business. During hovering flight, also called tail rotor drift, it's one of the three T's that everybody screws up. Effective translational lift, transverse flow effect and transit.
