Hi! my name is Evan and I'm super stoked you want to learn more about me!
I show people how to build their businesses. I learn a skill, test it with my own companies and share it!
I got my start by selling CDs at 13 years old. I’ve worked as a fry cook, I’ve mowed lawns, built go-peds, managed restaurants, sold mortgages, worked in Hollywood, and sat at a desk. I’ve cold-called, done graphic design, pounded pavement, traded crypto, and worked on an ambulance.
I finally settled down and devoted my life to becoming a firefighter in my early 20’s. It took me 5 years of training, fire academies, and paramedic school to finally land that job.
I spent 8 years of my life answering 911 calls. Now I get to pursue my real passion, which is building businesses and educating.
My first successful company is called Scorch Marker.
I was building a commemorative plaque for the fire department in my woodshop and desperately wanted to burn our motto “together in, together out” into the wood. So I pulled out my wood-burning tool, plugged it into the wall, and screwed the whole thing up!
But my wife and I had found another way. We created a chemical solution that reacts with heat. We were inspired by KZread creators! You apply the liquid to wood, apply heat, and the wood burns only where you drew! Pretty cool right? We invented the world’s first wood-burning marker - Scorch Marker.
Little did we know that this was the beginning of something big. We agreed to spend $500 of our savings to see if we could turn the idea into a product. 2 years later and we got into retail, became a bestseller on Amazon, created jobs, and made a lot of mistakes.
It’s the mistakes that are important. Those are the valuable, teachable moments that doers get to enjoy and learn from. They make you stronger.
Building, maintaining, scaling, running, or managing a business is not easy. But it can be done!
That's why I'm here. To teach what I've learned so you don't have to make the same mistakes that I did!
One of the things I feel I was put on this planet for is teaching. I absolutely love connecting with other humans who want to do what I've done, build a DTC company.
That's why I built my personal brand Vanader. I test the things I'm learning with Scorch Marker, make the mistakes, lose the money, succeed then I teach it.
It keeps me sharp, keeps me progressing and most importantly it help me make friends in the space.
Can't wait to hear from you!
Evan

    You did the best thing you could ever do... Starting you glue business in your garage and doing it yourself. Now you know your product inside and out.. If something goes wrong with your co-packer, you have the knowledge of being able to do this yourself, o you will be able to supply your customers and not lose any accounts. I have seen people go straight to a co-packer without knowing their products etc, and their co-packer goes under, or decides not to make their product and now, the people have lost all their sales, and customers etc. Keep up the good work!

My biggest digital economy disappointment stemmed from my hope that people would use a search engine to find small e-commerce websites and order directly from them, but e-commerce went the other way where there are a few large online distributors that are more efficient than brick and mortar retail but not as efficient as manufacturer-to-consumer sales.

    There is no "perfect growth method" but honestly you're kind of already doing something by interacting with videos like this and social media posts of creators in your niche. This associates your account with other accounts in the niche and increases your chances of your content being shown to people who will like your brand and products. If you made more social media posts focusing on the crafting/diy niche while interacting with accounts, you can train the algorithms to show you to the right people and increase your conversion. Instagram likes posts daily or almost daily, KZread likes weekly uploads. I tell my marketing clients to make 20-30 social media interactions a day on specific creators in the niche per platform (some big, some medium, some small). This could be liking a post, commenting, etc. Like, if I were to break it down, in a month the full marketing load would be producing 4 KZread videos and 20 Instagram posts a month (Carousels that tell a story do the best, then reels, then single image posts), with the intention of directing viewers to your Esty shop, or something like a free e-book download where you can capture their email and use email marketing to encourage the sale (I think you can also just do that with Etys' tools) When it comes to etsy, I find their SEO is really easy to game. Just find your top competitors selling similar items on the top of related search terms, read their description and try and think about the specific keywords they might be targeting in search, and write your descriptions to include those same keywords. I've gotten a few listings on the front page of relatively hot search terms by doing this. Just don't copy/paste it, try and reverse engineer the keyword research they already did. Good luck, and because youtube is dumb, you'll probably never see this comment.

    This is awesome - way to go! Good to see someone that comes across as humble and grateful winning. I have been working in manufacturing as an engineer, then manager, director, etc... for over 30 years now and at the moment. Back in 2019 I thought of going out on my own to consult, started building a few relationships and opportunities and finally pulled the trigger - about 5 months before KO-Vid hit!!! I got wiped out! No work, no sales, no place to get hired cause no one was even open... it sucked. So now I am back in the grind and there is no end in sight so I have been thinking of doing something, CNC milling, design a product, something. I have been researching lately for good ideas, opportunities, etc... I do not do too much on line stuff other than watch videos, I do not have social medias other than YT, etc... that stuff makes me a bit uncomfortable. Anyway I am hoping to do something and you probably know the saying "luck favors the prepared". I am very glad to have found your channel.

    Evan this was fantastic! With the loss of manufacturing in USA, even straightforward, packaging arts have fallen by the wayside. So it’s great to have you sharing on these processes. The end of your video, I could see you being onto something where in this channel becomes of support for Small Business, fabrication and packaging, technology and processes . I mean, yes, there are courses on how to set up with Amazon, but an actual operators lessons learned and tutorial I think, would be both fantastic in superior. Want to cover the business side with taxes and liability in those kinds of things. And then, of course, the manufacturing aspect, Warren may be others that have different types of products that are produced could share their processes all the while, not revealing their secret sauce, that invites unscrupulous copycats . I love what you did with this and look forward to more! Got You both a thumbs up, and a subscription :-)

    A good idea is labeling before you pour the product(Unless labeler is putting date on.) This will make it your "Mise en place", everything is ready before you produce. Lets you be more prepared if a big order comes in. There is also gains to be had when doing the same thing over and over. When you are real good, you can watch a movie while producing :)

    The order shouldn't matter, because this should be done in as close to one piece flow as possible. Batching the bottles in advance would not be a good idea at all. It seems counter intuitive sometimes but a study of lean manufacturing will nearly always end up with this conclusion. Also, depending on the pressure applied by the label applicator, a full/sealed bottle may work better to remain closer to rigid, but that is just a guess.
