Hi Guys

Here is the update for the last month!

06/08/24 — Weekly recap:

07/08/24 — Monthly recap for July:

08/08/24 — An update on the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided™ Twitter giveaway As you may recall from my previous article on Prime Gaming, I was given this game and wanted to give it away for free to gain more Twitter followers. It was just released today, and here’s the link to it:

I already have fifteen new followers.

This has worked better than I had expected. I will be doing this more often in hopes of getting more followers.

I went from having 40 to 66 followers on Twitter.

09/08/24 — New insight from YouTube via Email for last month:

12/08/24 — Well, a few days ago, Medium released some fantastic news: my region is now home to the Medium partner program (MPP) this is great news, but the bad news is that I don’t receive many views or readers on my Medium account, so I will have a problem trying making money off of the membership price. I will wait to join the MPP until I can increase the number of people who read my writings.

Some new info from YouTube:

My recent shorts videos have been receiving a lot more views these past few days…

I hope it continues to perform well.

New YouTube insights:

13/08/24 — Weekly recap:

Further details:

45 743 views.

Typically, throughout 28 days, I only receive between 22,800 and 29,300.

The channel is expanding and doing admirably.

14/08/24 — New milestone hit:

375,000 views hit.

16/08/24 — I have now finished playing the game Pentiment (I have also finished uploading it).

In terms of the review, I thought the game was nice, but I wasn’t into it. Even so, I was satisfied with the way my game ended, so it was worthwhile to play through to observe how my decision affected actual events.

20/08/24 — I just received a message on YouTube when I went to the “earn” tab:

It is now allowing me to enable earning from ads.

I’ve now enabled this…

I don’t know how this happened, and it happened about a week ago as well, but when it did, it just reversed itself, so I didn’t think much of it, assuming it was a bug.

It happened again today, but this time I was able to enable it, which means I’m now completely in the YPP. Maybe this isn’t permanent, because I didn’t hit the 1000 subscriber threshold, but I hope it is so that I may start earning money from advertisements. I’ll keep you folks informed when more information becomes available on this.

New insights from YouTube:

Weekly recap:

21/08/24 — I received this by email today:

And here is the video that appears when I click the watch right now:

Here is a breakdown of what it’s like when you upload a video and what’s on the earn tab:

Uploading a video:

Prior to adding Monetization to the video, you must select the appropriate option from this page.

Earn Tab:

Ad suitability:

For ad suitability, I have already submitted twenty videos.

Since I provided accurate information for every video I submitted, I have already been authorized.

Nothing else on this tab; clicking on these links will only lead you to the analytics.

22/08/24 — This is the first money generated with YouTube advertisements:

I won’t go into much detail about this since it can cause issues later, but this is the beginning of my being paid for all of my previous hard work.

25/08/24 — New milestone:

Just reached $1, which is a significant accomplishment for the channel thus far.

27/08/24 — I have just started going through all the videos today, enabling monetization on some of the videos that did not have it enabled. It will take 2 days to get all the videos.

Weekly recap:

28/08/24 — Update:

I have been safeguarding my social media accounts and YouTube accounts. Additionally, I switched from solo.to linktr.ee as well.

This is how the updated appearance appears:

This linktr.ee looks much better than the last one (solo.to), but I forgot to take a picture of how it used to look, thus I’ve removed that account and don’t have one.

Here is a link to the new linktr.ee:

30/08/24 — It’s that time of year again when I have to start cleaning up the PC.

Every bit of dust on the fans.

Completely Clean!

Test: It’s working!

02/09/24 — Monthly recap:

03/09/24 — Weekly Recap:

The last Panel I occasionally won’t display this for privacy concerns.

I’ve been working on getting the PC up and running with all the cable management, that I have done over the first week of September (This Month) and the pc clean up I did in the last week of August (Last Month), but I will soon resume uploading videos. I haven’t uploaded anything in a while, and the channel has suffered as a result.

Here are the stats for July:

Views

Monthly:

Daily:

Watch Time

Monthly:

Daily:

Subs Total 837

I did not reach my goal of 845 this month.

I am going to place another goal of only 20 subs, we will see if I can hit this goal for next month.

Goal total subs = 857

I like to add another new goal which is to make $100 (Total)

Goal = 100$

Total Made = 4.42$

I’m very certain that privacy considerations will prevent me from displaying this in the future. For the time being, I will, but I’m not sure how long I’ll display this data.

With Rennes advice and the help he has given me I hope to do better!!

The manner I’m working right now, I plan to post a lot more content that is different and that will help define my channel of a better quality. I’m hoping that this will cause the number of subscribers to rise once more.

For this Month:

This is what I managed to achieve:

Subs: 837 (+12)

“Anyway, do that and you’ll start seeing great follower growth. It’s true that a lot of those followers won’t interact with your stuff- but don’t think like it’s supposed to be everyone reading everything. That’s silly. Instead, think about it like advertising- they’re all now going to see your articles from time to time on their feed. That’s free advertising. If 10 people out of every 100 click, be that’s a 10% conversion rate. In advertising, 10% is pretty standard. Don’t think small- reach for 10,000+ followers.”
