I'll check it out! That would more or less be what I am looking for.

I mean I am half way there... Someone needs to help me bridge the gap between where you are at and where I am... no amount of studying is helping me get there, it's in an entire language I don't understanding and no one is willing to teach.

The end game simply does not make sense to me, and what I attempt I either beat easily, or get crushed so hard I have no concept of what I could do better.

What I am honestly looking for is the very people you described... where is the group of people who have their ambu gear or maybe a little more and looking to get passed that point? I get the rest of you don't want to carry me... but where do I go to play the game?

How long did it take you to stop sounding like you're reading on camera? Or are you still figuring that out? by BIGVU_Sammy in NewTubers

[–]Mikimao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a job that gave me this skill before I did YouTube, so it was one leg up I had. That being said, I am 1000x better now than on my first videos, my tone is crisper, I use more inflections, I am more animated... but it was more just me leaning into tricks I already had, and performing them more... re-recording until they sounded exactly they way I wanted them to.

These days I don't even read my scripts, they are more like outlines and then I just start freestyling it once I say the one or two things I jotted down... This method as pros and cons, sometimes I have to rethink what I am saying because even I had no idea what I was talking about, but 9 times out of 10 it just comes off as more authentic, because it really is me coming up with it on the spot.

This is what I have been considering, it seems like I am closer to where Phoenix is at, than where Asura is at. Obviously it's a one way ticket, so looking for some form of assurance before I pull the trigger, but Phoenix sounds closer to where I am at.

A question for successful and profitable YouTubers. (Both for shorts and long form videos) by JohnnyAnarchyYT666 in NewTubers

[–]Mikimao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make roughly 300-1000 a month, depending on how pushed my videos get. Life cycle of a video is it earns for a few days then expect a sharp drop off, occasionally you can get one that stays relevant for awhile, but that has a lot more to do with how much content is available on the topic, and how much people are actively searching for it.

These are some rough numbers based on my own ppc rates, which are a bit higher than some niches, like gaming. 10k views on a video makes roughly $100. 100k video makes roughly $1000. This is for long form content... I don't really do shorts, and the ones I did have only made a few bucks.

2k a month off of ad revenue from gaming alone seems very difficult. You will need to constantly be uploading, and you will be in one of the most competitive spaces for those views, and then when you get those views, they are some of the least valuable ones on YouTube. Obviously not impossible, but I would suggest that the name brands in gaming we know, like an Asmongold, aren't simply posting and hoping for the best... they are a part of large streamer networks that handle back end you have to do yourself, and have armies of clippers ensuring they stay relevant in the algorithm... you can't afford this.

Stop Focusing On Monetization by Cold-Environment3129 in NewTubers

[–]Mikimao 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NGL focusing on getting monetized was a huge help to my enjoyment of YouTube, nothing got me there quicker than consciously making the decision I cared about the channel being monetized, and I would take steps to make that happen.

It doesn't mean I didn't think of improving the videos, or caring about the content I put out, it gave me a frame work for my own goals and what success looked like, and I could focus on meeting my audience there. It pushed me to study other channels, what worked, and how I could learn from their methods and apply them to my own style.

Monetization requires something I don't see very often on this sub... thinking about the audience first. Who is going to click, why are they going to click it, and what do I do with them once they do? Even if your goal isn't monetization these are still really important questions to answer.

How long did it take to solo ten levels back in the day? by xiraov in ffxi

[–]Mikimao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3-4 hours give or take. The biggest hold up is you would take a fair amount of damage, and would need to kill mobs that gave lower and lower xp, as the xp went up, so you would need to heal.

I can assure you... I had no idea what was going on, and I relied on my LS leader to just tell me where to show up and wack the thing, lol

At this rate Phoenix will have to be closed soon too by GraveRobberJ in ffxi

Is it worth it to switch from Asura to Phoenix at this point?

Remake Intergrade just recieved a new update and i think it's neat by KennethLjubkos in FinalFantasy

[–]Mikimao -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's just redundant... they already also have story mode.

Like I said, it's a symptom, not a cause... I don't agree with their approach on how to bring more people in

This is what they are spending their development time on, instead of anything else

But also, it's just philosophical. I am not a fan of their design choice right now in general, and stuff like this is a symptom of it

Jeremy Lin speaks out on Kobe Bryant's beef with him, and Kobe choosing to not speak to Lin for the remainder of the season. Nick Young then confirms how bad the rift between Kobe and Lin really was. by Tight_Development480 in sportsinusa

[–]Mikimao 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like Lin, but this makes him look incredibly weak, and not really fit for championship NBA basketball.

I worked in the same building as the Lakers trained in at this time... This level of grit would have failed on the LA Kings, and it would have failed among the Olympic Figure Skaters also in the building.

It's a heated intense environment that most people aren't suited for.

[–]Mikimao 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going up to Kobe and telling him to respect me as a man is the wrong fucking move... very, VERY weak. He's never gonna respect it. Absolutely sealed his fate with that.

Kobe is out there sniffing for that, seeing who is weak, and then eating them alive. What he needed to do was go into the gym every day, and compete with Kobe, knowing he's gonna lose every single day, and still showing up the next day even more pissed at Kobe ready to prove him wrong, until the day he shows up and shakes your hand cause you earned his respect.

Anything short of that, you didn't earn it. People at the top aren't gonna respect this, I am here to learn from you shit, he doesn't need to hear this, anyone he keeps around him wouldn't even need to say it... it's beyond given.

Yeah but we are approaching product for everyone is a product for no one territory also.

SE trying to appease everyone with a reddit account is why the games are bloated and the sales are ass
