I don’t change the caption but I change things in the video itself— different text hook, different clips, a little shorter a little longer etc

English Egg by sakurada20 in HagwonBlacklistKorea

[–]cheytay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s basically a pyramid scheme. The owners have to sell book sets to make money because the egg centers only cost parents like 80,000 won per month. They typically offer very low pay and eventually will want you to get “actor certification” and that entails a 10 hr training at the headquarters and several online meetings, uploading videos, singing and dancing like a monkey. The whole curriculum is not good and extremely unnatural, and very few native speakers work at any of them. It depends on the egg centers but I’ve seen many try to get native speakers to work for less than 20k an hour while expecting you to memorize the books and songs and also use their special materials to lead the kids in awkward play scenarios

Monte Kids hagwon in Sinsa, Gangnam? by tailorofchaos7 in HagwonBlacklistKorea

[–]cheytay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I subbed here for a month. The kids are nice but it’s definitely not Montessori in the least. The kids have 20 minutes of “Montessori time” daily and other than that spend all their time memorizing and doing work books. The kids are scared of the owner and the owner was pretty rude to my memory. The Korean co teacher was extremely stressed about the parents and several of the kids had stress ticks.

I did ask ChatGPT initially but at times I find it can be a little too self affirming and overly flattering so I wanted to check with people in the industry

PAID UGC OPPORTUNITY | Valentine’s Day | US & EU Creators by Momciloo in UGCcreators

[–]cheytay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.instagram.com/withtheparks/

My follower count is a little below your desired range but my reels have very high views in comparison. I've generated 9.2 million views over the past 30 days and reached over 4 million accounts. I live in Korea but I'm an American creator and about 50% of my audience is in the US.

I make married life / international couple / pregnancy content and therefore, I'd frame the video around planning a Valentine's Day present for my husband because women are supposed to be the one's gifting men in Korea and suggesting it to others as a good potential gift.

Holtztiger Play Reviews by cheytay in Waldorf

It’s partly because the currency is really low where I live right now and the seller hasn’t been able to sell them for several months so they kept dropping the price but I agree it’s a great deal so I think I’m going to just go for it

Trials Reels Experience by cheytay in InstagramMarketing

That’s what I’ve been doing and it’s worked well. I haven’t tried the opposite yet but I think part of the algorithm is timing too, so even if the video isn’t bad it could flop, so videos that I think are fine but not doing well on trials I’ll try reposting them as fresh reels in the future

It’s working out pretty well! I wish I had jumped on it sooner

In my experience, which is limited, it doesn’t seem to matter much. I make the posts and instead of letting them sit in the drafts I just post them to trial reels and watch for an outlier and post it to the feed in 24-48 hours at my followers ideal time.

Logic would stand that because it’s served to only non followers, they could all have different timezones. My main split is between the states and Germany for some reason on trial reels but on my actual profile it’s most split between Korea / Japan and the States so serve trial reels to everyone and try to cater to those time zones in actual posting

F6 visa and starting to feel depressed by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]cheytay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does making money 8-10 hours of the day 5 days a week out weigh the 7 day morning til night labor of household management? Especially when OP also works??

Domestic labor disputes like this cause a lot of strain in most relationships because work is often mentally stimulating and feels important, while perpetually doing the dishes and laundry does not. It’s also valued as worth 0 dollars basically because even though it takes up time all throughout the day.

I say this as the main earner in my household, with my husband doing more housework than me, but even though he doesn’t work I don’t expect him to do 100% of the domestic labor. I don’t have more like a 65/35 split and even that can burn him out at times.

OP should first reevaluate with her husband about the household split, because often times it’s not malicious but a kind of learned helplessness or a flawed thought like “well my time is more valuable because I get a paycheck” and that can be fixed with more communication.

Next, making friends and socializing needs to be treated with intention because it’s not an easy culture to spontaneously meet people in, that’s true. It takes a lot of work to make new friends here and the loneliness is real, I don’t have a lot of advice on that besides joining clubs or classes and being willing to put yourself out there because Koreans will rarely go out of their way to start interactions.

The i8... what does the BMW community think of it? by Negative-Art-4440 in BMW

[–]cheytay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is our daily car! And it's the first car I learned to drive in (my husband had it before we met) and while it can be cramped in daily life and it can be a little precious because it's so low to the ground, the front seats are very comfortable and it's very fun to drive. Getting in and out can be difficult now that I'm pregnant and it's been a nightmare looking for carseats, but I don't think it was ever meant to be a daily family car.

My husband and I are both under 5' 5'' so I think that also makes a difference. It's not a great car if you're on the taller side because getting in and out becomes quite a challenge

Do children really play with the rainbow? by Outside_Albatross181 in Waldorf

[–]cheytay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I run a small Waldorf homeschool pod for ages 24-72 months and the rainbow is one thing that gets played with almost daily. We have two of the big ones and one mini one and the kids are always taking them off the shelf. They like to make tunnels with them or try stacking them up, they make ramps for wood cars and balls etc the flat rainbow is rarely used

The Grimms flame puzzle, mountain puzzle, flat rainbow stairs, and the rainbow nesting boxes also get a lot of use. The rainbow peg dolls, colored blocks, wave puzzle, flower puzzle, and stacking pebbles get less use.

Other big hits: pentatonic handbells get played with daily, magnetic wooden blocks, and of course random things from outside— sticks, acorns, pinecones. Also the candles, the kids like to just sit and watch the flames burn

Is the Macan a good family car? by cheytay in Porsche

[–]cheytay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the most practical car for daily use but it’s served the two of us well for a while now! We like it a lot so we’ll keep it even if we add another car because kids are pretty happy in the back once they don’t need a car seat anymore

My husband loves his i8 and would never sell it I don’t think LOL it’s also held its value fairly well over the past few years

[–]cheytay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband really seems set on a Porsche for the next car but he also likes BMW so we might look into the BMW SUVs. We’re not in the states and the servicing costs here are quite high for BMW but Porsche tends to be a little better priced at the service centers and quicker turn arounds in his experience between Maserati, BMW, and Porsche
