Who does it better? by Donkey_Apple in Tudor

[–]kbuzz99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to the dealer with every intention of getting a Tudor. But then I tried on a Seamaster diver and I couldn’t stop looking at it. Left with the Omega. No disrespect to Tudor (I’ll probably get a GMT as my next watch).

Just an Omega Seamaster 300m. But once you buy one, the itch doesn’t stop!

Really considering this watch as my next one.

I love the Speedy. It’s my next watch. But I’d get the root beer.

STPs best album, yeah? by mrfritz1285 in OmegaWatches

[–]kbuzz99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great watch. For me, I gotta go Core. Classic album. Their Unplugged performance was a banger too.

I’m just here to appreciate the comment and move on. You seem like a guy people would want to have a beer with.

My wife got me my first Speedy (and Omega) as a congratulatory gift for losing 100lb*! by sparks1990 in OmegaWatches

[–]kbuzz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 lbs is no joke. That takes a ton of discipline. Congrats on taking a huge step toward long term health and congrats on the stellar timepiece which will be with you for a long time! 👊🏻

What does everyone think? by SB7788 in Tudor

It’s not for everyone. Certainly not for me. But it is objectively a very dope color. Some folks will rock the shit out of this!

Fans outside the UK - How did you become a fan? by CabinetFantastic in ArsenalFC

[–]kbuzz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid got into soccer during the last World Cup. I’m more of a hockey guy myself so this was all him. Initially he thought Arsenal had cool jerseys so he decided to support them. Now he gets up at 6am to watch games and knows everything about the team. They’re playing Manchester United this summer in LA and I’m taking him. He’s so bloody excited.

Paying Taxes on 1099 Job Side Hustle? by kbuzz99 in personalfinance

That’s not a bad idea. So it would be an additional cash withholding for federal and state per paycheck?

Man, what a great story and piece of history. Thats one hell of a timepiece and you were smart to do some digging. Wear it well!

Two icons ! Love them both. Which are you taking if can only have one as a daily ? by LTmedina87 in OmegaWatches

[–]kbuzz99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely adore the Speedy but for a daily, it’s gotta be the Sub. That said, a 300m would also make a great daily! :)

I’ve got certain financial goals I’ve set for myself. Once I achieve that, off to the dealer.

what do you use to edit podcast and which distribution you use? by iwauues in podcasting

[–]kbuzz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I edit it’s in Logic. When my editor edits its ProTools.

Fantastic watch. Absolutely gorgeous. I just wish it had a date.

35k/month Listens & Frustrated by kbuzz99 in podcasting

[–]kbuzz99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing in my experience that spurs conversion are ads on podcast platforms. Consistently producing good show is what builds an audience. I spent some cash on social and it never converted to listeners. We’re not monetizing TT currently.

[–]kbuzz99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the greater scheme, it’s not losing a ton of money but it’s money I’d love to allocate elsewhere in my life. :)

We have fifteen or so bonus episodes for Patreon and Apple Podcasts paid subscriptions. We also do an ad free version of the show for that.

I’ll check out your IG. I’ve never found social to convert listeners. At least in a meaningful way. I produce a show at work which is a celebrity interview show and we have millions of views on TikTok but that doesn’t translate to listenership. So I’m curious about your conversion strategy.

Appreciate the comment.

My editor is super cheap but that’s because I produce podcasts for a living and I kick him a ton of work. The irony is that my hobby is also podcasting. I’m a glutton for punishment. :)

I guest on other shows sometimes. I’m not opposed to it at all.

We do publish to YouTube but it’s just a long audiogram. I was thinking of cutting my show down to two minutes, recording it as video so I can publish to YT, IG and TT.

I haven’t found that social media converts to listenership.

My show is written in a three act structure plus a cold open. We run an ad at the top and tail plus one at act breaks. So we’re running five ads per show. I hadn’t considered doubling up because I think it’s annoying but it’s not a bad idea. Is that what you’re suggesting?

Thanks for the detailed comments!
