#why is it so hard to pay for a YouTube channel membership???
Explore tagged Tumblr posts
Note
even if I were the richest mf on earth, I wouldn't pay for xplr club or one sinlge merch which I think are theee biggest wastes of money one could have (no offense miss xplrvibes), let alone for a channel that barely updates and connects with its fandom 😭
Oh, none taken, it's a massive waste of money 🤣.
And this is coming from a person who forgot they were paying for an ancestry.com membership for 3 months, so that's saying something lol.
But I think xplrclub vs whatever the fuck watcher is doing is actually a great comparison because xplrclub is just a paywall for exclusive content for dedicated fans who don't fear credit card debt. Snc barely promote it, and they don't really put anything on there that should be public-facing content. They treat their main and react channels, which are still free and accessible to their 12 million subs and anyone else who's interested, as their bread and butter, use their free platforms to sell everyone on who they are as people, and then have a paywall set up for the .01% of their fanbase who actually wants to put the extra money into seeing what goes on bts, or having access to early merch drops, or wants to be entered into monthly contests to win signed posters or whatever.
Watcher, on the other hand, decided to do the opposite. They are taking 90% of their content and putting it behind a paywall, meaning the casual fans are going to go away and there won't be an opportunity to create new dedicated fans, cause nobody is going to come across any of their *new* content and have a chance to get to know them and decide if they want to invest any of their hard earned money on them. They are making people pay to see them across the board, which is dumb because how is anyone going to know if they want to pay for exclusive access to you, if they can't at least get some free content beforehand to get a feel for you?
They are treating their youtube channel as if it's Netflix, but like 3 or 4 youtube videos a month isn't worth paying the same price that I would pay to subscribe to say, Peacock for, where I could watch over 5,000 TV shows, movies, WWE's entire fucking catalogue, etc.
This, my friends, is hubris. And to come from Shane Madej, the guy who once encouraged e everyone to pirate from every subscription service out there is, is part of why people are so pressed.

Just heard about The Watcher streaming announcement video, and dang. I’ve never seen a company misjudge their fan base so, *so* hard in my life. Like, I’ll concede on the wanting a higher budget and more creative freedom but like. Guys. You have like 2-3 shows *at most* that people genuinely get excited for. That is NOT ENOUGH to justify a $6 (or more if your non-US)/ month streaming service.
Also, if money really is that big of an issue, why don’t you turn on YouTube memberships? Like, you acting as if you’ve exhausted all other options, but you haven’t even turned on the thing that like every other YouTuber turns on to make more money without alienating their audience. Also, in regards to their apparent want to become “TV quality” (something that no YouTube (let alone Ryan and Shane) watcher EVER wants), why??? Cause no (and I mean NONE) of you fanbase have ever even thought the existence of the feeling that a higher production cost was needed. I mean, I literally stopped watching a bunch of their stuff cause it started to feel too overproduced and corporate-/business-like. And also, may I remind you that streaming services have historically been considered literal money pits??? Like, even big dogs like Netflix and Disney have trouble turning a profit on these things, why do you think you — a singular YouTube channel with a singular YouTube channel level of output — could??
Additionally, like, the demographics just don’t add up! Like, even from a purely corporate, sterile, and logical perspective this decision makes absolutely no sense. Like, the vast majority of your audience are middle school to collet student in terms of age and/or budget. What makes you think that these people can afford to pay for this service even if they wanted to? Like, the platform literally only accepts card and isn’t accessible to a lot of non-US countries. Additionally, we’re also in a big international economic downturn. Like, guys, even the people who support this can’t really afford this!
Also also, and this is my personal opinion, but fire Steven. Either fire him or demote him cause it seems like he’s kinda of like a money pit for the company. His shows’ premises are based on things being horribly expensive and they’re also the least popular shows on the channel, making them, if anything, unprofitable and a waste of time and resources.
TLDR; this the most idiotic and greedy decision of I have seen in my life. And I’m a Pokémon fan.

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Mae West
:o) gonna make 3 gift baskets. hopefully my site gets traction soon. how to be seen and heard? like its so hard to just get a social life but why? im not gonna try as hard and just play games. whats the point? 3 yrs of getting 50 ppl and it takes a troll 6 months to ruin this. so i ask you, whats the point? im gonna net 80k in my savings in 20 yrs. at least this is my savings goal. at $300 per month at $150 per paycheck. also saving my spare change and any lower bills that i got. also i have acorns too which im just letting it do its thing. tmw im getting my battery pack for my switch lite. im gonna have to play these games and sell what i finish and in terms of books too. a box of books for $20 or i can sell it as $3 for hardcover and $2 for paperback if its more then $20 but all good condition. i really wanna get my site out there but im unsure if i really can.eatijg a hot pepper tho really gets me views so im definitely doing that more until people get tired of it that is. the first vid i did of it is my most popular vid on my YouTube. like for real its crazy how much attention this vid has gotten. i would do ganing vids if it got this much attention. when i get 1k views and can put ads on my vids ill have a membership thing where they pay to see the hot pepper vids. this way if thet wanna see it they can pay me and ill get something else out of it. it's a win win for me at least. maybe that can be a sub on the discord too. since YouTube needs you to do 1k views per channel to put ads so they csn promote it, im actually well on my way for that. im getting cheapet and cheaper ways to eat tho. hardly eat fast food cuz what you get just isnt worth the price anymore. for what you are getting and the way it comes out needs to be a lot cheaper. and the wiat peroid of 1 hour just isnt worth it for a burger at a fast food place only go to burger king if you are with someone as thats the only way youll get good service

🌸 Updates and FAQs for Watching the TGCF Donghua! 🌸
✴️First, check out my detailed guide HERE if you want to know how to subscribe to YouTube or Bilibili!
Please read through these if you have any questions first before sending in an ask, as it's probably answered here (or the previous guide)!!! If you don't see it here, or still have confusions afterwards, then feel free to send in an ask or DM me!
---
✨Important Notes/Updates✨
Bilibili is allowing non-members to watch for free! No region locks, and you don’t even need to make an account. Free watchers will be one week behind paid members. But this is a legal and free way to support the donghua if you’re unable to pay! (This actually means that you’ll be able to see the episodes faster and for free on Bilibili than you would on YouTube, because YouTube has a two week delay instead of just one week.)
Funimation is broadcasting TGCF in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. These are some of the regions which are blocked by YouTube, so this is an available alternative for those who don’t want to go through Bilibili. They have also stated they will launch in Mexico and Brazil this winter.
ALL broadcasts are in Chinese with hard-coded/embedded English and Chinese subs. (I.e., they come with the broadcast itself, on top of the image. Nothing to toggle on/off, they are automatically there.) They are the exact same across all the platforms.
Please support official releases so that we can get more seasons, and high quality! This is still niche content, believe it or not!
---
✨Frequntly Asked Questions✨
🔹GENERAL FAQs:🔹
1.) "Where is the best place to watch?"
I still reccomend Bilibili's native website/app over all other streaming platforms. This is due to some key points:
Bilibili's website/app gets the episode the very second they drop. There is no delay whatsoever. YouTube and Funimation have been delayed the last two weeks. It's unknown if this is just a hiccup or what, but if watching new episodes ASAP is important to you, going through Bilibili ensures you will not have to worry about any uncertainty.
Price breakdowns: Bilibili's website/app 3-month membership is $10-11 USD. Their YouTube channel's "MBBM Lv2" membership varies by region, but in many places is similar or just a tad more. In the US, the MBBM Lv2 membership and Funimation membership is the same price ($5.99 per month, or $17.97 for 3 months). So you can actually save some cash by going through Bilibili directly.
In the end, this is largely up to personal choice and comfort. Some people may find it difficult to navigate Bilibili's website even with guides and google translate's auto-translate feature. In this case, YouTube or Funimation are fine alternatives. If you also have an existing Funimation sub or plan to use it to watch other shows, then that's perfectly valid too. Similar with the MBBM lv2 sub on YouTube, especially if you want to use it to see other shows (e.g. Legend of Exorcism which is only English-subbed on YouTube).
2.) "Where do I watch for free?"
On Bilibili's website, you can watch episodes for free! You will be one episode behind paid members, but it's a legal way to support the donghua. You don't even need to create an account!
3.) "What episode will be airing when/where?"
Check out the table below for the differences in airing times. Time is 11AM China Time.*
NOTE: Funimation is technically supposed to be the same as Bilibili members/YouTube MBBM Lv2, but the last few episodes have been delayed so I have no clue.... *Additionally, YouTube's episodes have been delayed by a little bit, but they've aired the same day.
4.) "How can I support the donghua?"
Free, on YouTube: Subscribe to Bilibili's YouTube Channel, give likes to TGCF videos/clips, and leave nice comments!
Free, on Bilibili: Everyone can follow the official TGCF account and page, plus leave likes on videos. All this following stuff requires you to have passed the Bilibili quiz to unlock levels: If you are lv2+, you can leave comments and give coins to offical TGCF videos. (Log in daily to get 1 coin/day if you're lv1+!) If you are lv4+, leave a good 5-star review!
Paid: Buy subscriptions to watch the donghua! Also, merchhhhh~
---
🔸YOUTUBE-RELATED FAQs🔸
1.) "What's the difference between Bilibili's YouTube Channel's MBBM Lv1 and Lv2 memberships?"
MBBM Lv2 allows you to watch the episodes on the same day as Bilibili's website broadcast.
MBBM Lv1 has new episodes delayed by one week, meaning you will be one episode behind the others. There actually is zero point in subscribing to MBBM Lv1 (unless you want to watch other subbed donghua) because you can watch the same content on Bilibili for absolutely free, since Bilibili is allowing non-members to watch TGCF one episode behind paid members.
You can also watch two episodes behind on YouTube.
2.) "If I have YouTube Premium/Red, do I still need a membership on Bilibili's YouTube page?"
Yes. YouTube premium is completely separate from the channel-specific memberships.
3.) "Are episodes simulcast on YouTube?"
While originally stated as being simulcast, there actually seems to be a bit of a delay on YouTube as of now. It's unclear if this will change with future episodes.
4.) "Do I need a VPN?"
If you are from one of the restricted countries, then yes, you'll need to use a VPN. You can still pay for the subscription as normal, and then use a VPN to watch the donghua. It will not affect payment.
---
🔹BILIBILI-RELATED FAQs:🔹
1.) "Do I need to take that 100-question quiz to sign up for Bilibili or the membership?!"
No, it's totally optional! You do not need it to either watch the free episodes or to buy a membership. It's only if you want to comment and stuff. It might make you think you gotta do it, or enter a code, but it's actually not needed. Check out THIS post for more info!!! (However, you may still want to do it in order to level up and eventually leave a nice review for the donghua!)
2.) "I'm only able to watch 6min on Bilibili's website when I watch from my phone. Do I need the app?"
You do not need the app. Switch your browser to Desktop Mode in order to watch the video in full.
Be sure to download a browser like Google Chrome, Firefox, etc that supports this mode if your native browser doesn't allow for it.
3.) "Can I get the app on iPhone/iOS?"
This depends on if you are in a country where the app is not region locked in the app store. If you're able to download it that way, great! If not, try using a VPN and setting your region to mainland China. It may work. APKs are not useable on iPhones, so unless you know how to sideload apps onto your device, you may be stuck with the app store only.
Do note that you might be unable to pay for a Bilibili membership through the app, depending on version, but you can always simply pay through the website and then use the app as normal. It will apply account-wide on all devices.
4.) "Why are there two versions of the app?"
One seems to be the international version, which is more basic and lets you pay via GooglePay/ApplePay. The other one seems to be made for mainland China, and allows you to even buy merchandise through it (Chinese address/bank acc required). Mostly, both have to be downloaded via APK on Android. But some iOS users have reported different versions of the app being available for them through the app store (namely the int'l ver, and some have said they can use a VPN to get the mainland one).
5.) "Is there any benefit to having the app over just using the website?"
Not really, no. With the app you can buy very cute hualian themed skins for your profile, though (if you have the mainland version of the app). Plus you can save videos for offline viewing.
6.) "Do I need to enter my area code for Bilibili when signing up/in?"
NO, you do not enter your area code in the phone number field. Select your country from the drop-down list and it will automatically consider your area code. (E.g. if you're in America, select 美国 and enter in your number like 5557779999.)
7.) "I didn't get to set a password when signing up, so how do I log into my Bilibili account after being logged out?"
Use the same phone number you did to sign up. Instead of a password, you'll enter in a one-time key that is sent to your phone via text message. (NOTE: some people have reported not receiving these messages, which may vary by phone carrier!)
As mentioned above, don't include your area code when filling out your number.
Also, if you are signed in on the app on your phone, you can scan the QR code on the log-in page through the app.
8.) "How do I turn off the barrage comments filling up the video I'm watching?"
Select the little button that reads "弹" under the video:
(Website vs App)
9.) Is the Bilibili subscription auto-renewing?
No, the 1-month (¥25), 3-month (¥68), 1-year (¥168) subscriptions will not automatically renew. They are a one-time payment only!
Notice that the renewing payments all say "连续" in front of them, which means "continuing" or "successive" types of subscriptions. They are also cheaper than the one-time payment. (E.g. the renewing 3-month sub is ¥45 instead of ¥68.) Moreover, the renewing types are not even available to purchase with PayPal, afaik. You need Alipay or WeChat Pay, etc.
10.) "Can I use the app/membership to read the manhua too?"
Unfortunately, not quite! Your Bilibili account is universal, but you'll need to download the manhua app seperately and topping up M-coins to pay for the manhua. (One-time purchases, either by volume or by chapter as per your choice.)
11.) "What resolutions are available?"
You can watch up to 480p as a free member. Paid members can watch at 1080p and high-bit-rate 1080p. It's possible to chromecast it to TV, too. (I haven't tried it, but others have!)
12.) "Can I watch across multiple devices?"
Yes, you can!
13.) "Do I need a VPN?"
No, Bilibili is not region-locked. However, some particular countries may have Chinese apps blocked.... :(
14.) "I want to leave a comment/review. How do I level up on Bilibili?"
Log in daily, watch at least one video per day, give coins (attained by logging in) to your fave videos, etc! It will definitely take a while haha.
15.) "Will I be able to watch other donghua like MDZS or SVSSS with my membership on Bilibili?"
No, those two donghuas are produced by TenCent, not Bilibili. You will need either a TenCent/WeTV account, or you can watch them on their YouTube channel (free).
---
🔸FUNIMATION-RELATED FAQs🔸
1.) "Is Funimation's broadcast a simulcast?"
It is supposed to be, according to their initial announcements. They seem to be having some technical difficulties, but those may be resolved soon. I suggest keeping an eye on their twitter for updates if you are interested in watching through them!
2.) "Do I have to pay extra on my Funimation sub to watch TGCF?"
No, afaik, the regular $5.99 sub covers TGCF too.
---
I hope this helps out people further, so we can all have an easy time watching the donghua! And please do support it legally! 🙏
If you still need help, feel free to send in an ask!

Dameraji
2020.12.02
S: Today...
K: Ou
S: I was at the same job as kaito kun before this, which was unusual
K: Mmm
S: This is a continuation from what we were talking about just now but...
K: Mmm
S: I went to rewatch Dame x Prince
K: Oh!
S: Well... that show was crazy in a good way
K: Totally unthinkable right
S: You know, totally, i wanted to watch some comedies, and, i don't really rewatch the ones i was casted in but totally you know... episode 1..Nareku, who is voiced by Kaito kun
K: Mmm
S: Started doing ad-libs all the way
K: Right?

K: That's totally un actor-like
S: You just went ahead and did it right? *laughs*

K/S: HAHAHAHA
K: You did it!
~~~
Script: The streets are slowly beginning to look like Christmas eh?
K: Roppongi, or rather Keyakizaka? That area is totally..
S: *giggling*
K: Ah!!
S: Stop it! Stop it! I have recalled it!
K: I remember now!
S: For the details, please refer to... it's already in the archives? no?

-----
~Fanclub~
S: * Talking a bout how the space FC is 440yen per month*
K: Wait a minute, is that price okay for you?
S: We thought about it over and over
K: That's unacceptable! come on! That many services and that price... makes my membership quality seem lower
S: Don't cut in before i'm done with this email, geez
K: But anyway, your FC is finally starting
S: Until now, i've done one concert, so from now on, if i am going to have concerts, or release CDs, we'd like to give fanclub members priority, and we also wanted somewhere to communicate with fans, so decided on the name, "space".
It's the pace of S
K: Oh, "space" doesn't mean that there is a space in between huh
S: No no no, the name of the FC is "space". When I/we thought of it, i realised that it could have different meanings. Like Soma Saito's space, or a space for everyone, or outer space
K: Space right?
S: So decided on this name, it would be great if it is a space created by everyone
K: Nice~
S: But it is still in the works... we will be trying different things so the contents might be changing. I felt that this one song a day recommendation, is quite amazing
K: Yea it is amazing totally, what's recommend?
S: *giggles* Um, like a song a day depending on my mood, or a book, everyday
K: Are you serious?! Crazy
S: This is totally....Well to make it a place where you would want to visit everyday
K: Wow... amazing! amazing! Wait wait can you list out the services you're providing again
S: Mail magazine, one recommendation a day, one person radio with video, and also, bonuses
K: Well, and also you're going to think of new things from now
S: Yes
K:....... That overlaps with mine
S: Wwww well there's one email here too, Ishikawa kaito has started membership on his YouTube channel
.
.
.
.
K: And also actually I also have an FC ahahaha
S: Who would have thought, this is a coincidence right
K: Well you know, when i saw the news that Soma san was going to launch his fanclub, i was actually already in midst of creating mine but, i panicked, and panicked, i thought, oh no!
S: Hahahahaa
K: And posted a video quickly
S: So, like i've heard alot about how Kaito kun was going to have membership on his channel, right?
K: Umm
S: Then i said, ooh this would be good too right... and stuff, while behind the scenes, i was actually planning my FC
K: And also like, you know our services overlap too
S: Hahahaa, what will you be doing?
K: I will be holding live streams every month for members, well probably it'll be like 2-3 times per month
S: Amazing!
K: Livestreams where i just talk casually. And on YouTube "community", i will be writing stuff that happened, like a blog, and also after events or event streamings, i have done some already, i would quickly film my reflections/comments on the events and just upload them
S: Ahhh i guess well you have the chance to talk about those on radio sometimes but everyone would be interested to listen to Kaito kun's feelings about your events right?
K: Yes yes, so i thought, "recommendations huh?"
S: Well well well, that would be a total rip-off wouldn't it
K: Everyday...
S: But for me, it's contradicting but, i have a lot of jobs where i have to write now, but, i'm a poor writer
K: Ooooh
S: Like, i feel that it is hard to write
K: Well because you have too many options
S: Don't know if it's that but, i was thinking about whether i would be able to continue my blog properly. Well but if people were to be paying for the fanclub and the writings are not that good, that wouldn't be ideal so i thought, maybe i could recommend something different everyday
K: I'm so afraid now hahahaa
S: Ishikawa san's membership, is it a monthly payment?
K: Yes.. i wonder how much it was but, i made it really cheap
S: Ahhh
K: I searched up the services and prices of the memberships of other YouTubers, and made mine around the middle quality type of services, and the price low. I am not doing music as well, so the videos i upload might not be viewed as "highly priced" and that would feel horrible so
S: Ahhh, true...
K: And I manage the YouTube myself so, when i have guests over, i might need, outfits and stuff
S: Uh huh..
K: Or certain equipment.. like if we were to be playing games together, I would need to buy the game so... the membership fees would go to that
S: Wow... that's awesome~~ When... shall i go?
K: So, what shall we do?
S: Wwwwww what kind of ... what kind of reaction is that?
K: I thought of asking Soma san on the channel, well we did one story reading before
S: Yes
K: So i do want you to come but, i can't think of anything to do!
S: Come on come on, you're saying that there's nothing to do, in front of me?
K: Coz, we could just do it here
S: Ahh, we should differentiate it from this, things we can do that are not done on Dameraji
K: Yes, if it's the both of us, it'll inevitably be this
S: Hahhaaa, i wonder what...?
K: What, reminisce about "Zankyou no Terror"?
S: wwwww
K: Hahahhaa
S: "AAHHHHHH!! Remember, us" ah that's nine's line
K: Why are you snatching away my line
S: I was already shot before that
K/S: AHHHHHHH
S: Dun dun dun, dun dundun!
K: Ahhh cries~ cries~, Those who have not watched "Zankyou no terror," please do!
S: And well i really want to go on your channel, and i've already told my agency about this
K: Really? Ahh but your manager was nodding just now
S: Yes so it's safe to say that, it's approved already
K: Oooooh, ok so next i'll think about, what we are going to be doing
S: Shoudn't it be opposte?
K: Yess
S: Let's discuss then
K: Let's discuss, we have an expert here too
S: Won't that be Dameraji then!

if you don’t mind me asking why don’t you respect thomas as a person anymore? i’m not trying to be rude or jump to anyone’s defense, i’m just genuinely curious.
I have been getting a lot of asks like these since I mentioned that I’m still upset with Thomas and although I’ve covered it multiple times on this blog, I will go ahead an explain it again because I’m tired of people telling me how to feel.
Here I will complie a list of all of the reasons why Thomas just does not rub me the right way sometimes. That being said, i recognize that Thomas is a very good actor and is a very talented man. He may have things going on in his life that I don’t know about, but the opinion I’ve formed of him is simply based on what I’ve observed and I am willing to change that if he shows reasons for the things that he does. I’m in no way trying to “demonize” Thomas here or make him out to be some crazy, rutheless being. I simply just dont vibe with some of the choices he makes and things he does. So here we go...
1) Thomas appears to have a pretty big ego. He constantly posts pictures of himself on his social media instead of using the platforms as most youtubers would: to communicate with fans about his content. He is okay with fans contantly worshipping him like a god and living off his every word. Even during his birthday he would retweet videos of people literally cellebratig his birthday with cake and candles, and that is just so odd to me... Theres nothing wrong with having a lot of confidence in yourself, but its simply something that rubs me the wrong way.
2) Thomas is a really awful business man. As I have mentioned time and time again, Thomas is running a business here, just like most youtubers with his level of fame. He has merch, a huge following, and a membership program. Despite this, Thomas continues to act as if his youtube channel is just a fun past time for him. His schedule for video releases is atrocious and I’d be surpised to find out that the team even schedules dates for things at this point. To an outside fan it just seems like they release a video whenever they want to or whenever they finish it, with no prior end goal in mind. Thomas treats his job as if it is an opinional past time, and as someone who is in college, works in a fast food job, and has an internship I cannot respect that. The man has no work-life/personal-life separation and it shows... He’s hired all of his friends to work for him and gets work done at a snails pace because of it. He always says that the team is working hard and getting things done, but never has anything to show for it...
3) Thomas is very bad at communicating with his fans. For having such an outstanding and die-hard fanbase, Thomas takes them for granted. Instead of giving fans insight on video release dates and production, he opts to say nothing simply because he doesnt “want people to get mad at him for being wrong”. I don’t know about anyone else, but that is just so messed up to me... You keep all of your adoring fans in the dark simply because you dont want to face the concequences of you not getting your work done is a timely manner? This bothers me a lot... especially when a lot of fanders are paying to get “extra information” when in fact the livestreams are simple Joan and Thomas hanging out and joking around with a very rare, almost completely absent mention of future videos.
4) The babying issue. Thomas has to recognize that his fans baby him and treat him like a breakable doll all the time. This not only makes him incapable of taking and responding to criticism, but it makes him shrug off responsibility all together. If his fans never give him concequences for his actions and simply praise him to no end, then he just keeps going what he’s doing and ignores any ouce of negativity because of it. The fanbase has babied thomas into thinking that he can do no wrong and will never be criticized, and it shows. Never once has he formally sat down and just talked about the concerns people like me and the anons that come to my blog have.
5) This is a newer one I realized with the most recent episode. The whole Trump joke threw me off guard because, while I don’t support Trump, I KNOW there must be fanders who do. And Thomas must have known this when allowing the joke into the show. It’s very inconsiderate to subtly manipulate your fans like that when this show has frankly nothing to do with politics. Had a fan been watching that who has their reasons to support trump, they may have felt alienated and hated by Thomas and that just insnt cool. This isnt the only instance of Thomas being manipulative with his fanbase. He constantly thanks and praises those of his fans who baby him and worship him while ignoring and never talking about those who have criticisms. This make fans who have concerns feel as though their worries make them terrible people and they shouldnt say them. Is this blog is anything to show for it, fanders are scared to speak about how they feel. Thi has created an extremely toxic environment for open discussion, but thomas continues to let it go on.
6) Money. Everyone, believe it or not, but Thomas makes a LOT of money. He is not an independent creator that films and edits videos all by himself simply for the fun of it and not for the money. This is his career. He is a business man and the owner of this company. His goal is to not only produce content, but to make money. And boy does he make a lot of it... Here is some math i did on my own to figure out just how much (granted it is not perfect, but it should give everyone a realization that Thomas is nowhere near the independent artists and authors that they constantly compare him to...):
-The average youtuber with 1m subscribers makes $57,200 a year from ad revenue. Thomas has 3.36 million subscribers so 3.36*57,200 is $192,192.
-The last member livestream has 1.5k views and each member is giving thomas $5.29 per month. So per month thomas is making 5.29*1,500 from members, or $7,935. Per year, Thomas the recieves 7,935*12 from members, or $95220 (obviously this number could be a little smaller because I’m sure youtube takes some of that money)
-Apart from this, Thomas also sponsors nearly every video on his channel that is a decent length. (I’ll admit that the math for this part is up to a lot of interpretation because I have no idea how Thomas sponsorships are handled, but I will do my best). Alright so, youtubers charge brands anywhere from $10 to $50 per 1,000 views, to be forgiving I’ll do the math using the lowest price. On Thomas’ most recent blooper video, he had 736k views. If we divide that by 1000 thats 736. So 736*10 is 7,360. And that is just one sponsorship at the lowest price. I’m not really sure how many sponsorships thomas has done, but in the last year it seems like about 5 (the blooper, asides episode, gay disney prince, intrisive thoughts, and SvS). So that is 5 sponsorships per year, 7,350*5 or $36,800.
-So total income before considering merch sales and by assuming the lowest numbers for some areas is $36,800 + $95,220 + $192,192 = $324,212
Now with all of this in mind... Thomas makes so much money. Money that I could never even dream of coming by. And he does this with minimal uploads and scamming his members into continuing to pay him even through month long periods of no content. Thomas doesn’t even need to make videos at this point, the money that he drags out of his fans is already plenty. And then, not only does he have all of this money, but he uses it for fun trips and adventures those of which he brags about on his social media. He went to new york and saw three broadway shows, he went to vidcon and took a weeklong vaction there. He bought from what I saw, at least three playstations and games for different friend and family members. He is in no way struggling for money... and instead takes money from his adoring fans when he has no content to show for it.

Been on my January Diet for a week
I’m counting calories this time because I got so sick of WW that I just plain wasn’t doing it anymore for long enough i may as well save my $$$$. I’m eating sugar again (in limited quantities) and i couldn’t be happier. It’s not hard sticking to this at all and im just wearing my fitbit and trying to burn more calories than I eat.
So i got a Planet Fitness membership cause its cheap in addition to my regular Jazzercise classes which i go to almost every day. The days I don’t go are usually Saturday cause theres only morning classes and I go out Friday nights and sleep through them... and Thursdays cause im in a different part of town and if i rush over, i get the worst instructor and if i go home and eat first I don’t get up.
I’ve had gym memberships before and i mostly dont use them because if theres not a time to show up and instructor instructing me, i dont do any actual exercise, but PF is great especially for the price. You’re sure to get screwed out of a month’s money when you finally decide to cancel because you will inevitably cancel on the wrong day but thats hardly a tragedy and you can still use the memebership up until you’re really canceled.
As far as using it goes, the gym is friendly and clean and cheap and safe which is all my fave things. I signed up for a “class” which turned out to be a small group w a trainer for half an hour, but since i was the only one signed up, he gave me a personal training session for about 45 min. Said its like that at this location and if you sign up at a not-busy time you can basically get free personal training on the regular.
Sounded good and then i woke up sore the next day! LOL and it was Thursday so instead of rushing across town to the bad Jazzercise instructor, I did an at home yoga class.. I got a groupon for $15 for a year subsciption to Yoga Collective where you can stream yoga classes and do em in your house.
The price was right even if i only use it once, that’s about the price of a drop-in class in these here parts, but i was bummed to find out there’s no Roku channel for Yoga Collective, so i bought a chromecast for $35 so I can stream these workouts on my TV.
Even still, i have to use the Google Home app to mirror my tablet to stream it but it does it and it’s great and im sure i’m glad i bought it. I love Yoga but its really too damn expensive. The cheap yoga places memberships are $75 a month (the expensive ones are $100) and i’m already paying somewhere around $55/mo for Jazzercise. Used to have both when they were both $50 a month but going over the $100 a month mark for exercise seems like a lot to me. I may change my mind because i miss real Yoga.
But seriously, why does yoga cost that much im not really sure.
So the Chromecast, for the record, does a great job streaming YouTube where the Roku channel is a nightmare. That alone might be worth the $35 i spent for it.
Meanwhile I’m feeling thinner. Maybe not stronger just yet but after spending most of this Fall sick in bed with colds and sore throats and sinus infections, I not only gained 10-15 lbs but i got weak and flabby so it feels great to be back in action. I’m not quite at the fitness level i was at before, but I’m way closer to it than I was around Thanksgiving when I got sick for i think the 5th time and relented to just having to not worry about it during the Holidays and just know I’m going on a January diet.
I really wanted to. The holidays seemed endless and I just felt fatter and flabbier as they went on and on... so i got back on track pretty easily.
I’m weighing myself once a week on Mondays. Any more than that makes me a little crazy. Spent, i dont know.. decades.. trying to figure out how to not let the number on that scale decide how i felt about myself.
I’m there which is great. I have a long and terrible relationship with my scale and I’ve found that I basically can’t weigh myself because i get obsessed with what number it gives me. Also i swear that number is +/- 4lbs at any given time..and because I’m talking about having 15 lbs to lose....that can really send me into some bad place quickly if i get a high number when I step on.
anyway its taken me DECADES to ignore the scale. and just do the thing where i watch what i eat and exercise. But ive also found that i have to weigh myself sometimes or I have no real confirmation if what im doing it doing any real good or not. Even weekly weigh ins seem counter-productive sometimes when I know what ive done and the number isnt gonna be good. Sometimes I gain when I do everything right. Which is the madding part. They’re good about not being judgy at WW but I hate that they still make you weigh in and they still put the focus on the scale even though they act like they aren’t doing that.. but you don’t make lifetime for creating healthy habits, you earn it by keeping your weight under a certain number and keeping it there.
If you fall off, then basically they start charging you again. Which is reasonable. They don’t kick you out or shame you or anything but this program is about numbers, make no mistake.
Anyway i learned a lot in my on/off WW time about how to just not diet in secret and not be ashamed of it cause literally everybody has struggles with their weight and if they don’t, they’re the weird one, not you. And getting on the scale isn’t terrible at all if you don’t let the number you see rule you. Because whatever it says you’re gonna keep eating right and exercising, and if you don’t you’ll start again tomorrow. and if you keep doing that you’ll get where you want to be eventually.
I’m loving the exercise. Now that I’m active i want to do even more stuff but my body isn’t cooperating just yet. It wants to rest. I know i need to rest but my brain is so ready to do this.
My knees also didn’t get the memo but theyre holding up well. Years of exercising w arthritic knees and ive figured out what not to do the hard way mostly already and im so much stronger than i ever was, but i still have problems sometimes and im trying to be careful.
My heel is swollen. It does that sometimes and i have to stay off it, but im not going to. This is an old injury that never healed right from about 5 1/2 yrs ago so it probably will never be any better than it is now. Its Yoga funny enough that messes it up worst for all the weight bearing one-legged moves. But i’ve got Tuli’s heel cups or heel cushions of some variety in all my shoes and yoga jellies and extra padding for my already-thick mat and its getting better while I’m still exercising so i’m not stopping, but i did ride a bike at PF the other day instead of doing weight-bearing cardio.
I’m just trying to do something every day, and burn a certain amount of calories per day and eat less calories than that. Should work out.

Student Karl Andersson at the University of Manchester was researching a genre of Japanese comic books called “shota” that feature teenage and prepubescent boys in “suggestive or erotic” situations. Andersson wrote in his abstract for the project, which was published by the university, that he desired to “understand how [individuals] experience sexual pleasure when reading shota.” So he set about masturbating while reading the comic books for three months, recording detailed notes of how he felt after each session. An angry backlash to the project on social media branded the research a “Ph.D. in masturbation” and conservative lawmaker Neil O’Brien tweeted: “Why should hard-working taxpayers in my constituency have to pay for an academic to write about his experiences masturbating to Japanese porn?” The university said it was investigating Andersson’s work, adding that it was taking the complaints “very seriously.”* *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.

HOW I SAVE $18K A YEAR AND HOW YOU CAN DO IT, TOO!
I know you scoffed and raised an eyebrow when you read the title, but you clicked anyway just to have a laugh and maybe leave a sarcastic comment. I have my own reasons to laugh, about 18 thousand of them!
Follow these tips and with some discipline you can save up for that down payment on your first home or that trip around the world or whatever big thing you want to do in your life!
Weekdays:
DON'T get coffee to go, that's $3 a day, Monday through Friday. DO wake up 5 minutes early and make your own at home, you'll save $780 a year.
DON'T order lunch- that lunch special is delicious and convenient, but it's $10 a day, Monday through Friday. DO pack up lunch the night before or the morning of, you'll save $2600.
DON'T use vending machines. I know you're thirsty, but $1.75 for a small bottle of water when you can buy the 2 liter bottle at the market for the same price? Just use the water fountain! And that $2 candy bar? You can get the King size for less than that at the dollar store! DO invest in a travel mug so you can bring your coffee to work, then wash it and refill it with water throughout the day. There are some cold-brew teabags on the market if water is too plain for you. Also, get cheap candy in bulk or from the dollar store and carry some in your bag at all times instead of wasting cash at the vending machines. This bring your own water and candy trick will save you $975 yearly if you can stay away from the vending machines for 5 days a week.
DON'T get take out for dinner and don't order in : you're too tired to start cooking and you're too hungry to wait, but that $15 dinner adds up. DO eat a snack as soon as you get home and start cooking right away. You can prep your meals on your days off so you have them ready to warm up after work. So forget about ordering in 3 nights a week, that's $2340 a year you could be saving instead! Not to mention what you cook at home is very likely healthier than what you order in.
DON'T get a personal trainer! I won't say DON'T get a gym membership, even though you could technically work out at home, find a place to jog or go as a free guest with a friend or family member who has a gym membership...But if you can afford a gym, by all means invest in your health, just don't get a personal trainer if you live on a budget.Yes, they'll show you a few exercises that target the areas you want to work on, but in the end, it's you who has to hop on that treadmill or elliptical and lift those weights, not the trainer. The trainer is there to get his or her $60/ hr. One training session a week will cost you $3120 at the end of the year. DO get your information watching trainers on YouTube and do your research on fitness blogs when you are looking for specifics.
DON'T buy groceries in the spur of the moment, especially when you're hungry. So you're on your way home and you decide to stop by the market, assuming that once you're there you'll magically have an idea what to make for dinner. Chances are you're going to rush through the aisles because you just want to get home already and cook the damn dinner. A few items are going to catch your eye: the unhealthy frozen pizza and TV dinners, the expensive salad in a plastic box, the pastry section because what's wrong with having only cake for dinner? I can't tell how much you'll spend but take my word for it, shopping when you're hungry and in a rush is not likely to save you money.
DO plan your meals and make a list of the ingredients you need. Stick to your list. Buy in bulk when possible. Use coupons. Choose quality over quantity. In the long run, healthy eating will prevent you from spending thousands of dollars years later to treat affections caused by bad eating habits or poor quality food.
Weekends: DON'T go out for drinks. Yes, it's been a long week and you deserve that cold beer or that Mojito, but having 2 drinks every Friday or Saturday night for a whole year will set you back $1560, tips not included. DO call your friends over. You'll get the beer, they get the wine, you can even split a bottle of liquor between all of you. Plus, you're already home, so you won't have to call a taxi or have someone give you a ride home. I'm not saying it won't cost you a bit, but you'll be getting a lot more than 2 drinks per night for this money.
DON'T dine at restaurants. No, not even Sunday brunch! Sure, home-cooked meals can get boring, especially if the fanciest dish you can make is lasagna. But a meal out at a restaurant- and we're talking popular chains, not fine dining- will cost you somewhere in the $50 range ( $10 cocktail, $10 appetizer, $15 entree $10 dessert, plus tax and tips). So don't go out to eat every weekend and at the end of the year you'll have saved $2600.
DO dine at restaurants on special occasions. Dining out only on special occasions really makes going out to eat an event you look forward to. It's what marks the occasion as special! But if you really want to save, browse through the online menus of fancy restaurants and then find the recipe online and make it at home. Serve it in your fine china, add a mini candle in a jar or two, or go all out and put flowers as the centerpiece.
DON'T go to the Mall because...what else is there to do? Going to the mall means impulse buying because yes, this world is full of beautiful things and guess what, they're on sale this weekend only! This one's especially hard for the ladies. Having something new to wear, whether it's a pair of jeans, a pair or earrings or that divine new body lotion- these are the things that make us feel like we can take on the world like the fabulous superwomen we all are. But life will soon feel anything but fabulous when you realize every trip to the mall costs you $20 at the very least (even if you found a great top at 75% off for only $10, you'll most likely spend another $10 on snacks and drinks because all that sale hunting got you hungry. So skip the weekly impulse buying and sale hunting and save $1040 yearly at the very least.
DO research fashion blogs. I know, we all have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear...Waste a little time on fashion blogs and you'll learn about contrasting or coordinating fabrics, patterns, colors and accessories. So instead of always wearing the white cotton shirt with the navy suit pants, try those stretch marigold skinny jeans you regret buying because they don't really go with anything. A little research and creativity can get you a new outfit with a $0.00 price tag.
DON'T go to the movies! So you're paying $200 a month for your Cable bundle and you can't find anything to watch on TV? I guess paying $12 for a movie ticket and another $10 for popcorn and soda in addition to your cable bill will satisfy your desire to be entertained. But if your financial needs hold priority over your entertainment whims, skip the monthly trip to the movie theater and in a year you'll save $1144.
DO check out what's new on your favorite cable channels, use Netflix and other cheap subscriptions. Now, if you are really frugal, cancel your cable subscription, get a library pass at your local library- it's free- and check out their DVD/ Blu ray section and ask for the new releases! Why, of course they have the last season of Game of Thrones, glad you asked!
DON'T get a manicure, pedicure or haircut too often. I know, every time I pass by a window that says "Manicure+Pedicure = $ 50 ONLY!" my mind goes "Treat Yo Self". But $50 on nails every two weeks plus a monthly trip to the hair salon will cost me $1900 a year.
DO get high quality gel nail polish and LITERALLY treat yo self. Also, avoid going to the hair salon too often by having healthy hair. If your hair is fully hydrated and shiny it usually sits well and not many will notice that it's not styled. But good hair means buying high quality hair products. Sure, it will cost you a pretty penny but it won't cost you $1900, guaranteed.
So there you have it, a lot of DON'Ts will get you to save $18,059 in a year. But it's all very doable, notice how for every don't there's also a DO! So what will it be for you? A year of Don'ts or a year of Do's?

How to Optimize Your Digital Presence During COVID-19
Adapt Your SEO Approach and Content Marketing Strategy
Consumer trust in governments and large brands has been on the decline for some time now, not just after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. A recent report by McKinsey & Company shows how COVID-19 is and will continue to affect consumer behavior, stating that, “Consumers across countries will remain hesitant to return to international travel, large public gatherings, and trips to the mall once the effects of COVID-19 decrease. Across most countries, consumers say they will increase online shopping. Overall, consumers intend to continue some of the digital and low-touch activities they have adopted during the pandemic.”
With continuing lockdown and physical distancing measures in place, most people are more likely to trust the recommendations of friends and family, while also feeling more inclined to support local businesses. Whether you are a local, national, or international business, you need to re-establish customer trust through a strong, credible, and customer-centric brand presence.
While digital marketing and its cornerstones of SEO and content marketing are still your best chance, your approach and your messaging may need to change suitably in the current scenario.To do this, it’s important to recognize that a contact-free economy is here to stay.
During and post COVID-19, we will continue to see an increase in online inquiries and purchases for both goods and services.
Consumers are adapting quickly to the new normal and in some cases, prefer the shift.
Consumers still expect their needs to be met by their favourite businesses and brands.
Never has digital marketing become more necessary or relevant to consumers. Customers are increasingly shifting their buying activity towards online options, and brands need to be present if they expect to survive. Is your digital presence optimized for profitability and growth in this next normal?
As businesses work to remain top of mind with their customers throughout this pandemic, maintaining a strong digital presence through SEO and content marketing could be one of the most important steps you take. If you are a brick and mortar business, you may be slowly re-opening amid strong physical distancing restrictions that limit your ability to generate higher sales volumes. How long can you keep the lights on if revenues don’t bounce back?
Why Should Your Brand Care About SEO During and After COVID-19?
If your business has survived on traditional marketing in the pre-COVID-19 era, that’s miraculous. No kidding, but it’s time to make a change! So, for those of you who are not familiar, we’ll take a moment to explain…
What is SEO?
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing your online content (i.e.: web pages, videos, blogs) so that a search engine (Google or Bing) wants to show your webpages at the top of the SERP(search engine results page) for searches of a certain keyword or key phrase.
So, why is SEO critical for your business right now?
Here’s some food for thought:
According to Google Trends, the search term “SEO” and related SEO search terms have seen a spike in recent weeks.
People are searching online more than they ever have before.
SEO-focused content is the most cost-effective and direct path to maintaining your business during economic downtimes.
Foreseeing the Future of Search Now & Post COVID-19
Here are the most significant trends we notice:
Ecommerce sites selling essentials are up in traffic.
Health & Wellness sites are exploding.
Travel websites are all over the place.
Publisher websites are in high demand.
Restaurants and retail are having to pivot.
Volatility is present in almost all websites.
Traditional business leads are slowing down.
What Can Smart Business Owners Do Now?
Monitor consumer patterns and behaviors: It’s crucial to monitor customer conversations to have a clear understanding of how their habits are evolving, how their interactions with your brand are shifting, and where your brand can meet their changing needs. Looking at your analytics data is so important right now. Use the data to make smart decisions. Also look at your competitor. Follow them. Now might be a good time to invest in a competitive business analysis to see how your competition is pivoting and selling.Ask questions! Use social surveys, email marketing surveys etc.… and get the information you need. Your local WSI consultant in the Ottawa area can help you craft a plan.
Strive for expertise, authoritativeness, and trust (E.A.T): Google doesn’t want to serve up links to pages that share uneducated advice, opinions, or potentially fraudulent information or websites. To rank well on Google, you need to nurture your brand by building its expertise, authority, and trustworthiness — which is exactly what E-A-T stands for!
Show Expertise: This begins with keyword research and understanding the searchers’ intent behind the keywords you discover. Don’t forget your brands. Brands that are searched for by name often own top positions for keywords. Find out what questions your customers are asking that are relevant to their needs now and craft content that answers those questions.
Show Authority: Still a fundamental, backlinks from High Authority sites shows Google you’re producing original and compelling content.
Show Trust: Positive reviews, site security (SSL Certificate), website is associated with a location, privacy andcookie policies, CMS updates, are just a few examples of trust building elements in your digital presence.
Proactively manage your web presence: A strong search engine optimization (SEO) strategy can help you direct more high-quality traffic to your website, but to do so, you need to manage and control the narrative on your channels.
Ownedmedia are channels you created and/or control. This could be your website, company blog, YouTube channel or even your Facebook and other social media pages.
Earnedmedia is when customers, the press, and the public share your content, speak about your brand via word of mouth, and otherwise discuss your brand. In other words, the mentions are “earned,” meaning they are voluntarily given by others. Albeit hard to control, it’s your responsibility to try and shape this perception to be strong and positive.
Paidmedia is when you pay to leverage a third-party channel, such as sponsorships and advertising on third-party sites.
Audit your upcoming content campaigns: It’s okay to take a second look. In fact, you must!
If you or your marketing agency had designed and built out campaigns at the start of the year for every quarter, it’s important to re-evaluate.
Buying patterns and trends have changed. Digital marketing needs a new approach with tools, technologies and tactics that are relevant and effective in this new normal. Talk to us at WSI eStrategies—we have a pulse on what works and what doesn’t.
Take stock of the keywords you are currently targeting: Your products, your service, and the way you deliver them might have changed. Possibly, so have the search terms being used by your customers.Smart business owners and marketers are foreseeing what terms, questions and platforms are trending. Remember, many of these search terms may not exist yet in Google’s database. You need to be proactive and ensure your content is ready and optimized to take advantage of this new search traffic when it takes off.
Ensure your mobile presence is exceptional: Consumers today demand a seamless and fast mobile experience. To thrive online, everything you do should be done for mobile-first.
Focus on the user experience of your customers: When we talk user experience, we often talk about site navigation, clear calls to action, accessible forms, and anything that can help improve conversion. Although these factors are all still applicable today, we need to consider our current state and provide a different user experience that is reflective of the care, concern, understanding and empathy your organization is showing towards your customers during these difficult times. For example, your branded, gated content that previously may have required sign-ups, subscriptions, and memberships, can now be made available to all users. You stand a better chance at converting new customers than of losing existing ones!
Narrow your focus. Think about what you have that your customers need right now and speak directly to those needs front and centre on your website.
Don’t squeeze!Move from hard selling to soft selling. Focus less on the product or service you’re offering, and more on what it can do for your customer.
Make customer service easily accessible. Phone numbers email addresses, hours, instructions for pick up or delivery should be quickly discoverable.
Give assurances: Show that you can deliver, even if it’s slower than usual. Stand behind the products/services you’re offering and let customers know you’re following your country’s public health guidelines.
Want to discuss your optimization strategy and find out which short-term and long-term SEO tactics you should be using? Rely on the experts at WSI eStrategies in Ottawa. Book a discovery meetingand learn how we can help optimize your digital presence during COVID-19, and beyond.

10 Best Passive Income Ideas In 2020 (Review and Comparison)
Have you ever thought about how billionaires are making that much amount of money?
Do you know how many streams of income an average millionaire has?
The answer is 7.
The average millionaire has 7 streams of income. It is obviously not about the harder you work, the more you make. If it goes like this, then probably farmers would be making much more money than these millionaires because they work extremely hard.
The reason that these millionaires are making such a huge income is that they have found a new source of income i.e. called passive income. They leverage the most valuable commodity which is time.
So, today I will be sharing with you some of the best passive income ideas of all time.
But before diving into our amazing article, I recommend you not to go for all of them in order to make more money. As a beginner, you just need to focus on 1 idea that you like the most and you are serious about doing and which can let you make money while you sleep.
Every idea that I have discussed in this article has the potential of making passive income. So, without wasting much time let us talk about the top 10 best passive income ideas to do in the year 2020.
10 Best Passive Income Ideas In 2020
Below you’ll see some of the best passive income ideas in 2020:
1. Cash Back On Credit Card
You can get the cashback on the purchases that you already have. Credit cards have great reward programs. Whenever you spend money on a restaurant, Amazon, rent, etc. with the help of a credit card, then you can get a great cashback points.
A lot of credit cards actually give you a bonus if you spend some amount in a certain time period.
You have to choose the credit card that works best for you. But utilizing cashback from credit cards is one of the best passive income ideas.
There are some credit cards which have 0% annual interest which you can choose.
Although the fees are ridiculous if you don’t pay this off. So, if you don’t have proper knowledge about credit cards, I recommend not to use it.
2. Real Estate Property
You might be thinking that it is not easy to buy a house in the region where you are living. So, if you find it difficult to search the real estate property in your locality, search on the app called Zila or go outside your town and find the people who can easily pay the rent of your house.
Roof stock is a website that lets you buy investment properties where the tenants are already living.
The benefit of investing in real estate property is that you can have long termed financial security.
You don’t have to worry about losing your money. Initially, your mortgage will be paid by your tenant itself. Your rental income will be enough for you to overcome your expenses.
If you sell your real estate into a million-dollar, you can put that $1 million into a bigger property and avoid paying the taxes on it.
These are some of the best advantages of investing money in real estate.
3. Flipper
Sometimes it is better to not start something from scratch. It is better to choose an existing business that can make you loads of money instantly and taking that business to the next level with only some investment.
There is a website named flipper.com where you can buy existing blogs, eCommerce stores, websites, and domains. Here you can find the things that are already generating money or have some value behind it.
This is a great site for those who are ready to invest some money to start making a bunch of money right from the beginning without putting much effort.
4. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a process where you need to sell the products of other eCommerce companies with your affiliate link and make a commission. There are many people who are making thousands of dollars per month by just doing affiliate business.
Let me give you an example of an opera’s book club. She is one of the best affiliate marketers of all time.
She is in a billionaire’s club. She has such a huge influence on the people that whenever she brings up a product, people start buying that product like anything. The product that she recommends gets sold out within a week from Amazon. The sales of that product become unstoppable.
This way eCommerce site likes Amazon makes a huge profit in just a few days. This is one of the best affiliate marketer examples of all time.

5. Online Courses
It is a great way to generate a passive income where you need to do the work for just once and you get paid for months and years.
There are some people who are making more than $10 million from just selling online courses by utilizing the power of paid social media and Google ads.
There is a site called Udemy where you can find thousands of online courses sold every single day. You can upload your online courses on this site.
You can also sell your courses on your own website or YouTube channel.
The best part about online courses is that they are digital, you don’t need to spend a lot of money in order to make passive income.
It is one of the coolest ways to make an unlimited profit in this digital world.

6. Ecommerce Business
If you are one of those who are still confused about what to do next, then you must definitely give a try to eCommerce business.
It is one of the most impactful business ideas that still work in the year 2020. It is necessary that you take the opportunity of creating an eCommerce business today.
You can use a website called Shopify where you can connect a buyer and a seller which is similar to affiliate marketing. Here you can sell the product by setting your own price.
For example, Shopify sells a watch of $40 and you sell the same watch at $100. You will be getting $60 profit from just selling a single watch.
You can also use Amazon FBA where you can list your own products but Amazon does the handling of those products such as packing, shipping, providing customer service, etc. This can literally help to scale your business to the maximum reach.
Ecommerce has made a lot of millionaires in the past 2-3 years, as there is a huge increase in internet accessibility.
So, you can also become one of them and make passive income as long as this opportunity is available.
7. Selling Photos and Videos
If you have good skills in photography, then you must sell your photos online.
There is a website called Shutterstock. This website pays $500 million to their contributors since they have started offering this program.
Here you can sell your images and then people can license them or use them in their articles, projects, blogs, etc. Every time people buy or download any of your images, you will be paid for that.
You can be making around 25 cents to 30 cents for every downloaded image. It can further increase up to 40 cents once you complete a $10,000-lifetime earning milestone.
Although you cannot become a billionaire from this business, this can help you make a passive income for a lifetime.
8. Membership Sites
The best part of having a membership site is that you can get a recurring commission. It means that the customer has to pay a monthly fee in order to access your website and buy goods and services.
For example, if you have 100 members and they are paying you $100 every single month, then you will be making $10,000 a month doing nothing. So, if you have a lot of traffic coming to your website, you will be making a full-time income every month.
The other advantage is that you don’t have to produce a lot of content on your site. It depends upon you how much content you have to prepare for your audience.
Membership sites are usually of low cost and are affordable by your customers. Most of the subscriptions have a very cheap rate so that people can keep that in their budget.
I recommend you start with BlueHost hosting which is quite affordable and beginner-friendly for starting membership sites.

A membership site allows interacting with your customers whenever you post a blog or you have a built-in community of over 10,000 members.
It is one of the best passive income ideas in 2020.
9. P2P (Peer To Peer) Lending
P2P lending is the process of lending money to the company and individuals for their benefit when they might don’t want to go to a bank. It can be for anything whether they want money in order to pay rents, bills, loans or to invest in their business.
There is a website called Lending Club which is very well known for this. It is a place where you can connect with borrowers and investors.
They claim to unlock a new asset by investing in people with comparative returns of 3%-8% per year which is pretty much similar to the stock market. You can start investing money at a very low amount as well.
So, if you want to help people who actually need money, then you simply join a lending club and connect with these people.
It can make you passive income as well.
10. Create A YouTube Channel
Have you ever thought of starting a YouTube channel? If yes, then why haven’t you started yet?
YouTube is one of the best platforms in the world that can make you loads of money with advertisements, affiliate marketing, selling online courses, etc.
Although you will not be able to make money from ads when you first start your YouTube channel, this is because, after January 2018, you need to have around 1000 subscribers and 4000 minutes of watch time to monetize your YouTube channel.
You must have heard about a 7-year-old boy “Ryan” who runs a popular toy review YouTube channel has made over $22 million in the year 2018.
The highest-paid YouTuber in the world is Jeffree Star whose net worth is $50 million.
So, if they can do it, why not you?
On average, YouTubers charge brands around $10-$50 per 1000 views.
Conclusion
These are a few one of the best passive income ideas which you can try to do in the year 2020.
Although there are hundreds of ways to make passive income which you can find on the internet, these are the easiest ones according to me.
You must have noticed that in almost every idea you need to invest some amount of money. In fact, you never become rich until you won’t invest in it. Even if you want to start a small business, you still require money.

99designs Review: Is This the Right Place to Get Your Logo?
If you’ve ever needed a good logo (or ANY type of design work – whether it’s for your website, book, packaging, clothing, merchandise, etc), you probably know there are a lot of good designers on the internet who can get the job done.
I’ve used a handful of different designers from websites like Upwork and Fiverr in the past, but when I look back at all the design projects I’ve hired for over the past decade, a website called 99designs is the place I’ve had the most success with.
99designs is a service that uses a contest model to source several different designs from several different designers in an effort to find the right design for you.
It all starts with YOU providing some basic details about what you’re looking for in a design (e.g. – any names or words to be included, preferred colors, other design examples, and concepts you like, etc).
Within hours of creating a new contest, dozens of designers from all over the world will start competing for your business – submitting many different logo concepts for you to evaluate and provide your feedback on.
How 99designs Works
When you order design work through 99designs, the process starts by selecting the type of design you’re looking for.
Let’s say you’re looking to create a new logo.
You can submit a design brief and provide the information that will help the community of designers understand what you’re looking for. This includes things like:
What words will be included in your logo?
Are there any specific colors that should be included?
Will the logo have a tagline with it?
Are there other designs you like? Pick out some of your favorites and explain why you like each one!
As you can probably imagine, the more details you provide, the more likely you are to get some great initial options to work with.
These were some of the sample logos and color templates I liked the best…
After you provide all the required information and select your pricing package (which determines the reward the winning designer will receive), 99designs will display your design brief to its community. The designers will evaluate your information and if they want to participate, they will start creating design concepts and submitting them to you.
Once you start getting designs, you can rate your favorite ones and leave comments about what you do or don’t like about each one (or if any of the submissions are really bad, you can just decline them altogether and remove them from your dashboard).
It’s not unusual to get several designs that are pretty good.
These are just a few of the submissions that came in for the Deal Finding Guide logo I ordered (we ordered the Silver package on this one for $499):
As you can see, many of these designs were very good, even though none of these even made it to the final round for this design.
Within the first 48 hours, you’ll be strongly encouraged to leave plenty of feedback and rate each design. This feedback goes a long way in helping the designers understand whether they’re hitting the mark or not.
You’ll eventually be prompted to choose a few designers for your “shortlist” (when a designer has been shortlisted, it notifies them that they’re in the running as a finalist, which gives them more motivation to keep working toward a final design for you).
After you make suggestions for changes to your favorite designs, you’ll eventually pick the winning design.
Once you’ve selected a winner, you’ll receive all the final files for your design work (usually the files will come in .psd ai. png. .jpeg .swf etc) and you can then use these finals to upload your final design to your website or deliver them to whoever will put the final design in its proper place.
Once you sign off on the final copyright agreement, 99designs will credit the designer with the award funds.
How Much Does 99designs Cost?
There are a few different pricing tiers available for a design project with 99designs (with various upsells that will be offered to you as you place an order).
At the time of this writing, the lowest price is $299 and the most expensive option is $1,299 (not including any of the optional upsells).
In the past, I’ve hired projects at the Bronze ($299), Silver ($499) and Gold ($899) levels, and I found both the quantity and quality of design choices to be pretty much in line with the price I had to pay for each project.
With each of these pricing options, I received plenty of design submissions that were way off the mark… but when I paid more, I found there was a higher number of good and great designs to choose from.
Here are are some of the designs I got from the various pricing levels:
Bronze ($299)
Back in 2013, the first logo I got for REtipster.com came from 99designs. We ended up using this for several years and got a lot of mileage out of it.
I even went so far as to get a cool video made from this logo, which I’ve used for a lot of videos on the REtipster YouTube Channel
youtube
When I look at most startups and small companies – the $299 package is probably sufficient to find a design that looks good and will portray the right visual brand image.
Silver ($499)
When I ordered logos for the Deal Finding Guide course and the Land Investing Masterclass, both of which are part of the REtipster Club membership site – we got some great results from each contest.
The Silver package gave me PLENTY of great designs to choose from. Even from the designs I did not end up choosing, many of them could’ve worked just fine.
Gold ($899)
When I ordered a design with the Gold package, it was for a revised and updated logo for REtipster.com
Of all the different businesses and brands I have right now, this is probably the most important one – because it’s highly visible and the visual identity of this logo has a ‘trickle-down’ effect on several other logos and visual elements that I work with as well… so if there was ever a time to splurge, this was it.
The final product came in both a horizontal and square format:
As you can see – it looks pretty sharp!
For each of our contests, I made liberal use of polls in our various communities to get everyone’s feedback on which of these designs people liked the most. This was hugely helpful in making a decision because even though the final choice is mine, there’s only so much I can see on my own. Getting input from my audience went a long way.
Getting the Most from 99designs
If you decide to use 99designs for any logos or other design projects, I cannot stress enough the importance of giving feedback to your designers as they submit their ideas to you.
It’s not just about saying “yes” or “no” to the multitude of designs you’ll get. It’s about communicating what you do and don’t like about the best designs that stand out to you.
This takes time, but it will play a big role in getting the best final product from each design contest.
The more feedback and direction you provide, the better your end result will be.
Is There a Money-Back Guarantee?
If you’re worried about getting nothing but terrible choices in your contest, don’t worry. By default, you do have a money-back guarantee when you work with 99designs.
None of the designers on this website are given any guarantees of being paid for their work.
However, it is possible to forfeit your money-back guarantee when you place your order. By doing this, you’re sending a message to all the designers that you will be giving the reward to someone.
If you promise NOT to pull the rug out from underneath these designers who put their time and effort into your design, it usually has an influence on how seriously these designers take your project.
It’s only reasonable to assume that the best designers will only consider working on the projects that will pay out the most money and/or will offer this kind of guarantee… so it’s worth considering if you want to get the best results from your contest (I forfeited my money-back guarantee with each logo I ordered, and I didn’t regret it).
I also found there were better quality designs when I chose the higher-priced plans… but even when committing to pay more money from the outset, there were still plenty of bad designs to sort through – so the higher-priced packages aren’t a magic bullet that will guarantee 100% great designs.
99designs Controversy
Because of how 99designs works (leaving many of these designers empty-handed and unpaid at the end of each contest), I’ve noticed a general sense of disdain and contempt toward 99designs from other designers around the internet.
Since the website is making design work MUCH less expensive for customers like you and me, while also providing many more design options to choose from, I understand why a highly-paid designer who normally charges 10X more for this work would feel threatened and intimidated by this kind of competition in the market. I can’t fault them for not liking 99designs (heck, if I were a designer, I’d probably hate this website).
However, from an end user’s perspective, this kind of well-managed contest website that actually delivers a solid end product is a HUGE value for the clients who are paying for the work.
Even though it strongly favors the customer over the designer, it’s simply operating in a free market system. Designers don’t have to participate in these contests if they don’t want to… and yet many of them do – so even with the significantly lower odds of getting paid, there are still a lot of designers who think it’s worth their while to participate.
Is 99designs Right for You?
If you’re working on a shoestring budget – there are less expensive ways to get a logo (even cheaper than the $299 Bronze package with 99designs).
However, for the sheer quantity of designs you’ll get in this kind of contest, I really do think the value FAR exceeds the cost.
Perhaps the biggest benefit I found was in the ideation process.
With most of my logos, I had some very vague ideas of what I was looking for. I would’ve had a very hard time instructing a designer what to create for me, because I didn’t have a very clear vision in my mind. All I could do was say “I like it” or “I don’t like it” to what I saw.
If I was limited to choosing one design out of 3 or 4 concepts, it’s highly unlikely I would’ve found an acceptable logo that way.
With 99designs, I was able to see dozens and dozens of different logo options with each contest, which went a long way in helping me see possibilities that never would’ve occurred to me if I was just working with one designer.
This gave me a whole new vision I couldn’t have seen on my own. Getting this kind of insight and inspiration from a large group of designers was a huge benefit that played a major role in getting a great logo from each contest.
Get Started with 99Designs!
Note: As you can see, I had great experience with 99designs, but your experience may vary. All the 99designs links in this blog post are affiliate links and at no additional cost to you, this website will earn a commission if you order a new logo through those links. I recommend this website because it was very helpful to me, not because of the small commission we will make if you decide to buy something. Please do not spend your money on this unless you feel it will help you achieve your goals.
