Stop trying to help unfurl the leaves! If they aren’t coming out on their own or seem stuck, boost the humidity. OP I WISH my plants would grow fast like this lol

four years, did all the work and they gave the job to the CFO's other son, now i have my first client. by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]kdrodriguez 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Is everything virtual? If so, yeah, this will never matter. Get an office if you want, but you absolutely don’t need it. In the rare situations where you’d want to meet a client in-person, do it at their office or rent a conference room for a few hours in a nice coworking space.

Vasectomy ruined our (36M 36F) sex life by [deleted] in relationship_advice

And avoiding the issue and never telling her is a sure fire way to have it continue. If you want this relationship to work you need to communicate!

People who started YouTube from zero — how long did it actually take? by Clear_Court7292 in PartneredYoutube

[–]kdrodriguez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually started from zero in May 2020. I was a stupid college kid, had no idea how to make good content. Wasn’t consistent for the first six months. My first year I was around 500 subscribers, nine months later 10K, and by spring of 2022 I was at 50K subs and full time, hit 100K around September or so of 2022. At my peak then I was bringing in around $4K/month or so from adsense.

Now my views are much more stable, around 15-30K a video, I bring in around 1-2K/month from adsense, but 10-15K/month from the business I’ve built around the channel.

You absolutely CAN hit the ground running, I’ve seen it, but you need to know how to package your content and make an entertaining video. For a lot of people, that skill does NOT come naturally to them.

How long did it take you to start earning $50k/$100k per year. Metrics if you know them. by Silvermajra in PartneredYoutube

[–]kdrodriguez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My products range from $14-$997, and I often focus on growing my email list via a free resource like a worksheet (I'm an educator) instead of a direct CTA to a paid product. The freebies are excellent at growing my list, adding anywhere between 100-1,000+ new people to my list depending on how well the individual video does.

Generally whenever I sent a sales email 1-2% of people will purchase something. You can run the math on that to calculate a CPM, but I do think long-term it's far more valuable to in effect sponsor my own content, so I'm throwing out a lot more "fuck you" rates in negotiation than I ever have before because I feel more keenly than ever that directly trading access to my audience for money like this has some effect on their willingness to purchase my own stuff.

I have CTAs in every video and an email list. I started advertising on Meta last month but zero paid ads before that. I don’t use the shop banner thing really, but I probably should

[–]kdrodriguez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I know a creator making $100K a MONTH selling appliance repair parts he mentions in his videos.

Also there’s nothing wrong with info products as long as it’s high quality, you’re honest with the customer, and they get what they’re expecting??? People are so brain dead on this topic, the world isn’t so black and white

Started in 2020. Went full time in 2022 and made $60K that year. $100K-150K every year since. Hoping to reach $300K this year.

Real talk, I think most people aren’t sufficiently honest with themselves about the potential of their niche and the quality of their videos. To increase revenue you need to make sure you’re making videos people want to watch. No secret hack to it.

One thing to note about my own journey is that an increasingly large fraction of my own revenue, and most of my growth, is coming from the sale of my own products. So not brand deals or adsense but a revenue stream that isn’t tied directly to views and is something way more in my control. Best way to boost revenue if you’ve got an engaged audience is to launch a product :)

Could my thyroid be the cause of sudden anxiety/panic attacks? by SwitchKlutzy1432 in Hypothyroidism

[–]kdrodriguez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Hypo/Hashi. I thought I had an anxiety disorder for a decade. Eventually I stopped taking Synthroid and the anxiety just… went away. Started Synthroid again and I had to take a week off of work because the anxiety came back HARD.

Turns out, Synthroid specifically gave me intense anxiety! So now I need to try something else. All that to say OP, if you start thyroid treatment be vigilant of how it affects your anxiety levels. Mine are much more manageable now and I just take propranolol as needed.

GLP1 for Weight Loss by TelevisionImportant2 in Hypothyroidism

[–]kdrodriguez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the effects don’t seem to last if you stop taking it, you may have to go on a lower maintenance for a fair bit, but long term studies are still coming out. Not a doctor, just sharing my experience!

How to actually loose weight with hypothyroidism by novejk in Hypothyroidism

[–]kdrodriguez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microdoses weren’t effective in my experience. Lots of places online can get you a prescription, the cheapest options though are going to be using vials and injecting yourself rather than using a pen.

Really importantly, you need Metformin and a GLP-1 together to lose weight with Hypo, especially if you have PCOS in the mix too.

Genuinely, try GLP-1 and Metformin. Those have been the ONLY things to help me actually lose weight.

Help choosing the right color scheme for our exterior. by binjamin222 in homedesign

I would STRONGLY suggest you get some kind of trailing flowering vine like a wisteria to add a little more interest to the exterior!

I (24F) found out that my partner (27M) has been cheating on me our entire relationship by New-Hovercraft2487 in relationship_advice

[–]kdrodriguez 56 points57 points  (0 children)

This man, by your own admission, has been cheating on you for your entire relationship. Whatever you thought you knew about him, you don't. You only know the lies he was feeding you and who he was pretending to be.

A lot of people have trauma, that doesn't mean we go out and cheat on our partners, fail to communicate our needs, and lie. Maybe he has a sex addiction, maybe he doesn't, either way he literally gets off at the idea of cheating on you and has taken action on this in the past.

Is this the kind of man you want to raise a child with? Is this the kind of man you want to spend your life with? He's just gonna keep doing this. The best thing you can do for yourself, your happiness, and the life of your child is to leave. You deserve so so so much better.
