00:00.080 --> 00:05.960
So just before I start this lecture, let's refer back to the three foundations to Success and remind

00:05.960 --> 00:11.420
ourselves that while we're building a fantastic looking store, the predominant reason for that is to

00:11.420 --> 00:12.710
build trust.

00:12.710 --> 00:15.680
And as well as all the great things that we've already done.

00:15.680 --> 00:19.820
One of the really important parts of building trust is grammar.

00:19.820 --> 00:23.390
And this again is one of those things that tends to get overlooked.

00:23.390 --> 00:29.210
But trust me, if your store doesn't read well, if it's full of spelling mistakes or grammatical errors,

00:29.210 --> 00:33.260
once again you are going to lose trust and risk losing your customer.

00:33.260 --> 00:38.570
And it saddens me sometimes when I do store reviews to see somebody who's put in so much effort.

00:38.570 --> 00:43.940
But their site is littered with grammatical errors because at the end of the day there is no excuse

00:43.940 --> 00:44.450
for it.

00:44.450 --> 00:46.000
So how can we solve this?

00:46.010 --> 00:51.440
Well, the first thing you need to do is to proofread your site, go carefully through all of your pages,

00:51.440 --> 00:55.670
all of your product descriptions, and make sure there aren't any silly grammatical errors.

00:55.700 --> 01:01.770
Now, that said, that's a relatively straightforward process in your native language, but I know from

01:01.770 --> 01:07.260
the thousands of people that I've helped over the years that not everybody is developing a store in

01:07.260 --> 01:08.430
their native language.

01:08.430 --> 01:15.360
So just for example, you might be Italian, but you want to reach customers in the US and therefore

01:15.360 --> 01:18.570
you want to present at least a part of your store in English.

01:18.570 --> 01:24.060
But because English isn't your native language, it's possible that you're unsure or struggle a bit

01:24.060 --> 01:24.810
with the grammar.

01:24.810 --> 01:28.260
But unfortunately your customer doesn't know your Italian.

01:28.260 --> 01:32.250
They're expecting to see a site in perfect grammatical English.

01:32.250 --> 01:35.940
But of course I recognize that not everybody is building a site in English.

01:35.940 --> 01:41.100
Maybe you're based in the states trying to build a Spanish language site for the Central and South American

01:41.100 --> 01:44.460
market, or you're based in France and you want to reach the German market.

01:44.460 --> 01:45.800
It doesn't really matter.

01:45.810 --> 01:51.930
The point being, if you are trying to develop a store in a language that isn't your own native language,

01:51.930 --> 01:54.000
wouldn't it be great to get some help?

01:54.000 --> 01:57.090
And wouldn't it be even better if that help was free?

01:57.090 --> 02:04.260
Well, luckily, I've got two solutions for you and the first solution is this grammarly.com, which

02:04.260 --> 02:10.890
is a fantastic tool, but at the moment at least it only supports English and Grammarly works in a very

02:10.890 --> 02:11.640
simple way.

02:11.640 --> 02:18.270
You can simply copy parts of the text from your site, paste it into grammarly and it's going to correct

02:18.270 --> 02:20.160
your grammatical errors for you.

02:20.160 --> 02:26.850
Now there are paying plans, but if I go up here to the compare plans, you see there is a free plan.

02:26.850 --> 02:33.300
And if I scroll down here a bit, you can see that under the free plan, grammar, spelling and punctuation

02:33.300 --> 02:34.470
is included.

02:34.470 --> 02:40.140
So definitely sign up for a free account and you'll be correcting any of those grammatical errors in

02:40.170 --> 02:41.010
no time.

02:41.100 --> 02:49.080
The second suggestion involves using Chatgpt, which is an insanely powerful AI tool that can, amongst

02:49.080 --> 02:50.730
other things, correct your grammar.

02:50.730 --> 02:55.260
Now Chatgpt at the moment supports more just than English.

02:55.260 --> 02:58.260
In fact, it supports these languages English, Spanish.

02:58.260 --> 02:58.560
French.

02:58.560 --> 02:58.920
German.

02:58.920 --> 02:59.520
Italian.

02:59.520 --> 03:00.180
Portuguese.

03:00.180 --> 03:00.600
Dutch.

03:00.600 --> 03:01.110
Russian.

03:01.110 --> 03:02.520
Chinese and Korean.

03:02.520 --> 03:07.200
So I really hope that that covers the majority of people listening to this course.

03:07.200 --> 03:14.250
If, however, your chosen language isn't included, keep checking back to Chatgpt because it is evolving

03:14.250 --> 03:20.730
at an alarming pace and it's probably only a matter of time before your language gets added as well.

03:20.730 --> 03:23.370
So how can we use Chatgpt?

03:23.460 --> 03:25.710
Well, let's go back to the home page.

03:25.710 --> 03:30.090
The first thing you need to do is to come over to here and click on Try, and then you'll need to either

03:30.090 --> 03:31.440
log in or sign up.

03:31.440 --> 03:32.700
It's completely free.

03:32.700 --> 03:36.720
So I already have an account, so I'm going to log in and I'll see you in a moment.

03:37.230 --> 03:37.650
Okay.

03:37.650 --> 03:43.110
So I'm logged in and I've clicked over here on new chat, and then all you need to do is to come down

03:43.110 --> 03:46.590
to the bottom here where you see send a message and start typing.

03:46.590 --> 03:49.530
So I like to ask it this question to get going.

03:49.530 --> 03:53.070
Can you help me correct grammatical mistakes in English?

03:53.070 --> 03:55.680
So let's send that off and we're off to a great start.

03:55.710 --> 03:59.760
Of course, I'd be happy to help you with any grammatical mistakes you may have in your English.

03:59.760 --> 04:01.320
Please provide me with the text.

04:01.320 --> 04:03.180
So let's do exactly that.

04:03.180 --> 04:07.770
So by way of example, I'm going to give it this a real hope.

04:07.770 --> 04:13.740
You enjoy our fantastical selection of product, which of course is full of grammatical and spelling

04:13.740 --> 04:13.980
errors.

04:13.980 --> 04:20.100
What I really want to say is I really hope you enjoy our fantastic selection of products, so let's

04:20.100 --> 04:23.400
give that to Chatgpt and see what it comes back with.

04:23.430 --> 04:24.540
And here we go.

04:24.540 --> 04:26.430
Here's a corrected version.

04:26.430 --> 04:30.000
I really hope you enjoy our fantastic selection of products.

04:30.000 --> 04:31.860
Exactly what I was looking for.

04:31.860 --> 04:35.220
But not only that, it gives you some tips on where you went wrong with the grammar.

04:35.220 --> 04:38.730
So you have here real should be really enjoy with two.

04:38.730 --> 04:40.500
Wise should be enjoy with one y.

04:40.500 --> 04:41.310
ET cetera.

04:41.310 --> 04:46.650
So not only correcting it for you, but helping you to not make the same mistakes in the future.

04:46.740 --> 04:54.000
And so between properly proofreading your site, Grammarly and Chatgpt, you have all the tools you

04:54.000 --> 04:57.450
need to ensure that your store reads perfectly.
