YouTube Revenue Remittance
YouTube transfers money to bank cards from the 20th to the 25th of each month (times may vary in different regions)
My YouTube only earned $30 last month, far from the minimum threshold of $100
If you want to receive a remittance on the 20th of next month, you must have at least $70 this month, but currently you only have $20 (still $1 a day)
Before this, I have received two remittances, and I have collected $100 every few months, which is a pretty good experience
From the perspective of YouTube’s settlement cycle, it is slower than the day when you get paid at work. Some wages are settled on the 10th of the next month, some on the 15th, and some on the 20th. It takes 2 months to get income
If you don’t have a certain amount of savings, then relying solely on YouTube’s income, you would have starved to death in 2 months, and you can only treat it as a side job
By the way, I tried a new YouTube video yesterday, and when I woke up this morning to check the data, I found that there was basically no playback volume. It may take a week or a month to get better, so I can only try and optimize slowly
Daily efficiency
As a programmer, dual-screen monitors are a daily habit
It is recommended that you also have a secondary screen monitor, which is used specifically for viewing documents, etc.
When I edit or upload videos, I usually put the progress display on the secondary screen, and use the main screen to write blog documents, etc.
This is equivalent to handling two things at the same time, and the efficiency is at least doubled
It would be better if there were three screens, but since I don’t have a fixed place to live now (I don’t have a house I bought myself, so I don’t need three screens)
There is also n8n automation, which I heard is very popular. I haven’t studied it yet, and I haven’t used it yet
All videos are edited manually and blog documents are written. I hope that the current process can be automated or semi-automated in the future to achieve real passive income
WordPress Blog
It has been more than 20 days since I created the Digital Nomad Blog on June 1st. Google has not included this blog, at least there is not much traffic from search engines. Basically, only I am viewing my blog.
So if you are a novice and plan to start blogging, it is recommended to keep a normal mentality, write when you want, don’t worry about traffic and advertising revenue, and wait three months or six months before worrying about traffic and other issues
Ask a Question
If you are Google, you are a search engine, why, what is your basis for putting your blog, such as Digital Nomad Blog, on the top of the homepage rankings?
If you are a reader, what do you like about this blog? What factors will make you subscribe to this blog and interact with this author?
Think more
After all, even if Google puts your blog on the homepage now, do you think your blog is qualified? Why?
Think about the problem from different perspectives
Google is a commercial platform, it needs income to maintain its operation, so it not only needs good content, but also needs content with commercial value, such as financial content with high unit price, such as weight loss content with high unit price, such as food content with low unit price, etc.
If you are a reader, search engines usually search for answers with the purpose of solving problems. Usually the ten best xxx, or how to xxx content is more suitable for readers, and other blogs or daily life have no value
But for the author, I just want to record my daily life, I am not interested in business and finance, nor in the ten best xxx
So the above content needs the author to balance it with your own needs
Today is better than yesterday
This is also a daily section
I posted a lot of long videos to YouTube yesterday, but the data showed basically no views
So I plan to spend a small amount of time today, such as half an hour or an hour, to post only 3 long videos, and then check the views tomorrow. Don’t spend too much time on meaningless long videos
The number of short videos is still normal. The content, quantity and quality of short videos have been verified. There is no need for too much optimization for the time being. Just keep updating daily
I plan to save long videos for about 20 minutes, at least more than 8 minutes (15 minutes is the best period)
It’s raining today, so it’s still not suitable to go out
I need to think carefully about the content of YouTube channels at home. What other areas of content are suitable for me and YouTube, and have the potential to gain more traffic and revenue?
Power outage, Internet outage, agency outage
When I went downstairs to take out the trash, the power was still good. When I came back, I found that there was no power at home.
When there was no power, only the USB fan was still working, the laptop still had power, the mobile phone still had power, and the power bank still had power.
I quickly charged the mobile phone with the power bank, and then called the landlord to deal with the power outage.
After a while, the power was back, but the network was not restored. I called the landlord to restore the network.
After restoring the network, I found that the agency service had just expired, so I renewed the agency service.
It took several hours to restore the normal state after some operations above.
When there was no power and no network, I found that I could not do anything, and I could only keep watching short videos to kill time (the mobile phone had network)
The initial judgment should be that the circuit breaker tripped, because the elevator and the corridor lights had power.
Because it is Xiangcheng Pi and Raspberry Pi, so after the call comes, the server will automatically restart, but the previously deployed docker needs to be manually opened and closed
Due to configuration issues, some unused services are started by default and need to be manually closed to avoid occupying memory and other resources
Some need to be opened, such as the document services of WordPress and Showdoc in this article, which are not opened by default and need to be opened manually
Every power outage will bring some problems. It is recommended to pull down the switch when you are free. By default, the power will be restored when there is a real power outage, ensuring that the power outage and restart can still work normally when you leave home
It is recommended to buy a power bank for backup, which can charge laptops, mobile phones and other electrical appliances
It is also recommended to buy a portable USB WIFI, so that whether it is normal or going out, there is a power outage, there is a network, as long as there is electricity, there is a network, and the temporary power bank can keep running
Raspberry Pi can also be powered by a power bank to keep running
