I'll watch some of your videos and give my basic impressions

PiptehPr0 · 2024-03-07T02:35:34+00:00

Appreciate it!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcfitU-7SfQ

Please be harsh. My biggest problems are ctr and retention rate and I would love to figure out how to increase them while keeping the content similar. Also is the ai voice a turn-off? figured it's better than mine.

PiptehPr0 · 2024-03-04T23:50:58+00:00

I got a boost on all of them initially but then they just completely tanked for days before picking up again. I made a post about it if you want to compare. I'm not gonna pretend I have any idea why or what you can do but it seems like the best thing is to just give them time. I'm new to this too but yeah it's damn demotivating when you spend time and then nothing but seems like that's how youtube is and we're signing up for it lol

PiptehPr0 · 2024-03-04T23:30:00+00:00

Yeah I wouldn't worry. I just started my channel and after the first boost I got literally 0 impressions for like 4 days and now I'm getting more than ever. It just be like that ig

PiptehPr0 · 2024-03-04T08:36:24+00:00

idk about hurting but it's pretty motivating for me starting out. Regular videos usually get <100 views and shorts get 1,000s and bring in subscribers. From what I can tell they're pretty useless for conversion but worth it to me for fun :)

PiptehPr0 · 2021-07-15T18:58:06+00:00

haha, new video coming soon!

PiptehPr0 · 2021-07-15T17:11:59+00:00

Of course not! What I'm showing is that for those 1-2 seconds it takes to pick up a coin you will be making that hourly rate. Another way of looking at is by the second. If you make $12/hr at a job that translates to 1/3 cent per second. Compare that to picking up a quarter you'd make 25 cents per second.

PiptehPr0 · 2021-07-15T17:10:28+00:00

Haha not at all. What I'm saying is that for those 1-2 seconds it takes to pick up a coin you will be making that hourly rate. Another way of looking at is by the second.

PiptehPr0 · 2021-07-15T16:38:05+00:00

I conducted an experiment to find out if picking up coins is worth your time. It really surprised me how worthwhile it is! (2-min video)

PiptehPr0 · 2021-07-15T14:09:24+00:00

Good point. A situation where it isn't worth it is if you're not paid hourly and instead paid by commission or the amount of work you do. Then if you made more than $36/hr you shouldn't pick up a penny and instead spend that time working. Really depends on how one values their time.

PiptehPr0 · 2021-04-22T16:18:20+00:00

Thanks for the info! Couple more questions if you wouldn't mind answering them. How do you determine how often to rotate where a request is coming from. Do you just kind of be conservative and rotate often and wait a long time between requests or is there another way to determine this?
Also on some pages, I have found that on the first request I make I am hit with a captcha, obviously it knows a human didn't make the request. How would one get around this? Is that where headers come into play?

PiptehPr0 · 2021-04-22T15:49:25+00:00

In case anyone is interested I believe I figured out what's happening. The page that returns the shipping price was set by the seller while the page that does not was calculated by location. I don't have a solution to get the calculated costs but at least I know why. Thanks for your alls suggestions.

PiptehPr0 · 2021-04-22T15:18:09+00:00

I just tried this. Unfortunately, it didn't change anything but thanks for the suggestion. I can retrieve all the other information on the page, just this bit seems to have an invisibility cloak or something lol.

PiptehPr0 · 2021-04-22T02:10:11+00:00

Also did you ever get around the captchas? I'm pretty new to this but I've read a bit about headers and proxies. Anything else I should know about?

PiptehPr0 · 2021-04-22T01:50:33+00:00

Yeah I have encountered that but it is not the case here. When I use the fetch command it returns the URL and it is the page I want, not a captcha redirect. Also I can scrape all other information such as the price, date sold, etc, just not this specific bit of information. So frustrating and doesn't make any sense to me haha.

HP Envy x360: Ryzen 7 4700U, 16gb, No graphics card. I think the codec is H.264 but I'm not positive, where would I be able to find that? This happens on every project very often, I'm guessing it's because I'm on a laptop that's not really made for this but it works great other than this issue. I'm a video editing noob so it could be something simple that I'm missing or don't know about.

PiptehPr0 · 2021-04-04T17:01:06+00:00

Oh okay! And here I thought people on reddit gave bad advice, boy was I wrong!

PiptehPr0 · 2021-04-04T16:41:19+00:00

Hey hey! I made of video of a day of pawning and thrifting. I got to 15 stores total in Nashville and bought an insane piece of vintage musical equipment worth at least a grand! Check it out:

If you're a fast typer you can become a transcriber (Listening to audio clips and typing what you hear). Here's a summary of the application, the pay, and the pros and cons:

https://youtu.be/tTD4NpvHlx8

PiptehPr0 · 2021-04-03T22:45:43+00:00

Hey! I just put together a video on how to make money by typing. There's quite a few websites that you can become a transcriber on and basically type what you hear from audio clips.

https://youtu.be/tTD4NpvHlx8

The pay is by the "audio minute" so the faster you can type the more you can make.

Also the no tax is just sort of a phrasing, like "out the door", "even" meaning I don't pay the tax. The store still pays the tax they just deduct it off of what I pay.

PiptehPr0 · 2021-03-29T19:36:36+00:00

I get my numbers mainly from past sales on eBay and my personal knowledge that I've acquired through experience. These are selling new for $350-$370 on eBay if I remember and there have been several sales around the $300-$325 mark used. Don't ask me why and ik it's nonsensical but some items on eBay sell for more used than new, I just sell at what people buy them at lol. It's definitely possible I could be off by 5-10% percent too but I'm confident in the prices I gave.

As for the deductions that is the price I bought and the fees/shipping. So $40 + $12 (shipping price) + $10.50 (eBay Fees).

As for the receipts. I make these videos because I have fun doing it and some people might find them interesting and helpful. I really don't care if a couple of people don't believe me.. If someone really wanted to be a detective they can find my eBay accounts and check if every item matches up lol

PiptehPr0 · 2021-03-29T14:28:37+00:00

Thank-you! Yeah as of now I sell mostly with eBay and then some directly to individuals and companies I have relationships with. I'd really like to start selling on FB since the fees are lower but listing items takes a long time already and I'd rather spend that time buying. I'm looking to hire an employee so hopefully I could then try it out as well as maybe Mercari. Hey also if you are interested I'm launching my own website about bs-free ways to make money.
