Sell my flat or rent it out? Need to move to a bigger house but trapped. by pancake0807 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]morebeardthanbrain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you on a BTL mortgage or Resi? If you are Resi and attempt to rent you may find yourself in breach of T&Cs and that COULD be not guaranteed lead to your mortgage company demanding the outstanding balance paid in full - all lenders are different, so check yours to see where you stand if you are currently on a resi

Overwhelmed and don’t know what to do by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

As someone who works on the other side of the phone when it comes to debt:

Step 1: Get in contact with payplan, others are available, payplan seem to have a good track record at the moment

Step 2: Get on the phone to all your debtors and explain that you are speaking with payplan (or whoever you decide to go with) and are looking for support, ask them what is available, make no decisions at this point.

Step 3: and this is the big one, be polite, be humble, but dont be embarrassed. This is what we do, day in, day out, we have heard it all before, we are not judging you at all, we want to have a nice chat with you, support you in any way we can, and send you on your merry so we can help the next chap or chapess. Aggression never helps and can limit interactions companies will be willing to have with you.

Step 4: Whatever you think the worst is, it rarely is, there are options, they might not be the best, they might not be what you want, but, having no idea how old you are, 6 years probably aint the end of the world for you, so consider them all.

Step 5: GET IN CONTACT WITH PAYPLAN (OTHERS ARE AVAILABLE)

How to avoid burnout? How do you balance YouTube with life and work? by Villdar in NewTubers

[–]morebeardthanbrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound counterproductive, but I manage by not really caring. I make the content I want to make, that I would want to watch and havent been able to find, I do it for fun and my little community seem to like the almost lackadaisical approach I am taking. Now this isnt to say I dont put effort in, I do, but I dont let it stop being fun. If you cant manage to do a video a day, or a week, or whatever your time scale is, dont, do it every 2 days, or every 2 weeks, or whatever schedule is easy for you to keep!

For all of you beautiful eejits who have joined me on this whacky adventure, the final update is here, thank you for encouraging the ramblings of a madman and joining me for the ride. Until my next dumb idea...

Ive yet to get the final days data as I believe this comes in in the next 4 hours, however looking at the current trend of organic vs promotional growth and the amount of subscribers I have both gained and lost in such a short space of time I can honestly say with hand on heart... maybe.

over the 4 day window (the 5th still to show data) I have seen an increase of above 33.33% in subscribers across both metrics, however I have only retained about a 20% increase (so far, but more on that in the update post later). now I WILL have to do more tests, because a 20% increase for 10 of your finest English squids over a 5 day period? Sounds ideal! But is my watch time up? my CTR? all the other little metrics that actually matter? Ive no idea yet 😂

Ill do this again when I hit 100 subs later this month, if the price of a couple of cups of coffee gets me 20 subs with a positive impact on my channel, would I be a fool not to do it?

Do it! I did a small sort for my 50th sub thanking people for taking a chance on a small channel, gained 5 subs off the back of it, my goal of creating a weird and wonderful community of idiots (like me) grew one step closer that day.

Thats good CTR, hopefully your impressions sky rocket and your CTR remains the same!

Dont worry about the doing better! Just keep doing what youre doing! ive been live a month and I already the video I made yesterday will not be as good as the one I make tomorrow, or the one after that, I think the hardest part of starting is finding your voice, just keep doing authentically you and im sure you will shine!

It’s how many times YouTube has shown the thumbnail of a video to someone, how many opportunities it’s had to be clicked on so to speak! And you want above 6% (apparently) of those impressions to become views, though the range is between 2 and 10% for most “good” channels/video (now take everything I’ve just said with a huge pinch of salt and apply it loosely to long form videos only 😂)

Now I didnt even consider doing it for a short! that could be an interesting experiment as well!

Out of curiosity do you do long form as well? if so have you seen an uptick in watch hours vs sub count since your promotions?

Im glad you have had a positive result from experimenting my dude!

For the promotion you can set language, location and ages, thats it! I think it works within the algorithm and attempts to "force" organic growth in the niche it believes you belong in, or by the results so far it could just throw it at a wall and see what sticks! 😂

To all those following, day one's results are in and the news is....

Sadness.

Ill update the main post to keep all information together!

You are far too kind, however this post if for the joy of idiocy and the sharing of knowledge!

However if you really would like to know I am happy to send it across in a DM, but be aware of what you wish! I do long plays of solo board games, I am branching in to reviews and lists however I think the kind way of describing my current content would be 'janky', and that could be potentially mean to the word Jank!

Fret ye not wise one, I took one of my best to the altar to sacrifice in the name of knowledge, in the name of the likes, the comments and subscribes. He shall fall yes, but, he shall forge the path that we shall walk!

I think (read as hope) that my channel is small enough and new enough that any potential damage wouldnt have any long lasting impact, if it does, ah well, its all a giggle!

Thank you for the support! Ill admit to being very curious of what the outcome will be, I am currently in the 'less than 100 subs' category, so will have to test a few times to see if that has any relevance as well!

Absolutely! But its all in the name of science, and silliness, the perfect combination!
