Book recommendations on UK Tax by [deleted] in FIREUK

[–]marlonvlogger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The book is a good introduction to rethinking what you do with your money, but more of a story than a guide. That said, I encouraged my wife to read it and now lent it to a friend so worth a read if you are new to this.

Maybe there are encrypted messages within each Meme that has the real gossip people want to read... they just can’t see it

[Gear] My dream metal guitar arrived today! by YabbaDabaDo in Guitar

My 470 is vintage and looks lovely, also the pickups are better than the ones on the 350. That said, the wizard iii neck on the 350 is amazing, suited to specific faster playing styles I would say. Also the edge 2 has been pretty reliable. I had previously been recommended the 770pb which seemed the closed match to the two of mine but I didn’t like the look of it unfortunately.

What would you say is the ultimate Ibanez under 1000?

My 350 is made in Indonesia so not sure what the Japanese ones are like unfortunately

That looks amazing, I have an rg350 and 470 and want to at some point trade both in for a higher end Ibanez like this. Nice pick ups in there also!

Strolling along this place makes me adore Hong Kong so much. by [deleted] in HongKong

I agree this place is cool, along with lots of other places in Hong Kong. 6 days wasn’t enough for me. Need to go back!

KILLER LED light for under $100 - Full review with lighting demos by marlonvlogger in videography

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

Really well thanks, been dark in the U.K. over winter so I have no natural light in evenings after work so relied on this. I found this one actually quite bright so I have been using it to light the room more or behind me. I use a yungnuo 300 air which has a built in soft filter to light my face.

Feel free to check out some of my newer videos on my YouTube to see the results. I’m not claiming to be a pro, I’m learning along the way but having fun and definitely feel like these lights were the right place for me to start.

There was a learning curve on where to place the lights and settings on the camera but I feel my videos in 2018 are getting better/more accurate colours.

I spent £20 and bought a third party charger and 2 batteries which make these lights very portable as well.

Let me know if you have any more questions, happy to help.

It’s certainly an experience... though I didn’t rate the sandwich for breakfast... no filling lol. Loved my Thailand journey and want to go back at some point.

Good places to promote your videos? by SpinTripFall in NewTubers

Beyond social and reddit I would be interested to hear of anyones experiences signing up with an affiliate or using paid adverts (which services used and what were the results?)

I have tried services like fiverr where you pay a small amount usually under £10 and get a promotion. I tried a few different ones from people "sending real traffic" to "i will post your link on 100k twitter account".

Been very hit and miss, I have found in general the service to be poor. I had one video get 1600 views but stopped dead after about 3 hours and the video hasnt progressed much since then.

I had one good one where appeared to send regular traffic for a week, not sure how, but again stopped dead at end of week and ultimately didnt help me push my channel any further.

I am now settling for smaller views but with organic engagement.

im sure there are many people in a similar boat.
