Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Saturday 12-14-2024

Episode Date: December 14, 2024

I had Dalle make me a Dream Loft/Bunk Bed with below Office Workspace image for my daily Morning Pod Cast.

Good morning everyone. It is now almost 7 o'clock. I slept a little bit. Today is Saturday 12-14. I'm trying to get some news on some things I heard that might be going on. So we're going to find out about that right now. So Saturday, did lots of fun stuff yesterday. put a lot of new stuff up listed got lots of more stuff to do today as well so let's see what's going on the news randy moss he's got cancer that's pretty sad but it's pretty relevant everybody now it seems like lots of games coming out i've looked at so many games getting launched so 2025

is going to be a great year for games but I just can't go out and buy games because I can't afford it so it has to be something that's fairly cheap the big games that are like $70-$80 now it's I can't really get into that so fairly cheap and the big games that are like 70 80 bucks now it's

i can't really get into that so oh let's see it's about the news yesterday but i don't really see anything that's quick news look around look look in the main main page when i first turn on is msn and i scroll through quickly to see if there's anything that jumps out besides all the doom and gloom of every day that I really don't like to talk about at all.

So, let's see. Alright, so let's go to Etsy first this morning. I had my two orders now on Etsy. I got excited. I only had the two. So we're getting a little bit. So that's what I like about Etsy. You I have to do it one at a time. And I can only do up to 100. Of course, that requires a subscription. But it'll be worth it once I get some more stuff built up on Etsy. So I may play around with that.

I may do some more of those today. I've just got to concentrate on getting some Etsy stuff. Let's check out my RSS feed. RSS.com. Big fan. Pretty easy to use once I figure it out. And hopefully long term this will have some sort of a help for me. But I just like to do it in general.

So for me mentally and just for for expressing myself i enjoy doing the podcast especially my early ones more because i'm just doing stuff anyway so we'll just sit and i seem to be able to chat pretty easy while i'm doing stuff so i had three views so i've got 114 downloads now so that's exciting um anywhere new on my little dots on the map uh oh another dot somewhere in africa cool so i had a different dot from africa india so it breaks it down i like i like that part that's the funnest part just to see you just put something out there and just see who may download it and that's always appreciated and again i added a bio so anybody that checks out my podcast can get the bio on me so i didn't have that for the first budget i just recently added that all right

so let's go to YouTube. YouTube. Yeah, yesterday I was playing The Thing, the remaster. Now I remember the game. As I started playing it, I was like, oh yeah, I remember this. It's pretty fun. The remaster is pretty good. Pretty, uh... is pretty good. Pretty, uh, uh, feeling pretty,

uh, pretty cool. Um, so I played it for about a half hour, 45 minutes. It's really only I had time for. I mean, I could just sit and play for hours, probably. Alright, so my YouTube

subs are going up significantly again. 4,712. My revenue hasn't changed. $31.87. It's so disappointing. I don't know. It just seems like I'm putting out tons of good content. People are watching.

Yeah, I'm not getting any reward for it. Really disappointing. And financially, it really disappointing and financially really hurts really thought I could once I hit that 4,000 and then I would my hours have gone up my views have gone up and subjects significantly going up but no revenue pretty much sure I have everything turned on revenue wise not the revenue should be everything but i'm not really a money guy at all i just need enough to pay the bill so that i can do more fun stuff

but at this point it's not that's not working out at all i thought this was going to be my little extra boost so for my podcast i've had 1.8 views and i've had 39 35.9 hours viewed so that's pretty exciting i've done a lot more videos most of them are shorts and a lot of them are related to And I've had 35.9 hours viewed. So that's pretty exciting. I've done a lot more videos. Most of them are shorts. And a lot of them are related to listings. So that's the way I go now. I've been doing it for a little bit now.

If I can't make money off of YouTube at all. For just revenue from videos. I'm trying to use it as a mirror back to my store. So $1.50 I made yesterday. I think the most I've made in one day. Is maybe almost $2. So. I don't think there's any other magic buttons. That I'm aware of that I can push.

Although my subs are still going up. And they've significantly gone up. And that is attributed to promotions, which gets me negative. I believe I said I was at negative $100 since I've been doing promotions. But they do work.

And I'm not putting any more because I can't really afford any more promotions right now. I do like $5 promotions, $10. $10. I mean, I might have one that's $20. I had a reel. I did one of my any more promotions right now i do like five dollar promotions ten dollar ten dollars i mean i might have one that's twenty dollars i had a real it might be one one of my shorts i did a promotion i got a lot of pizza that's when we were doing the santa photos i actually had a video this time of us sitting down with santa getting our photo taken so that was awesome and i have my santa photos now on my YouTube. You can see Santa.

Look how real he looks. Doesn't he look like the real Santa ever? I think this is the same guy every year. Just assume he's really Santa Claus. I don't know why. So look at my YouTube and look at my photo. You can see the Santa photo. He looks so real.

Not that Santa's not real at all. All right. So the usual good news, bad news on my YouTube page. Not that Santa's not real at all. Alright, so... The usual good news, bad news on my YouTube page. Again, you don't get paid or anything until you hit $100. So, at least if I could get that $31 to be taken off of my promotions, I'd be happy with that. Not really happy, but it would be a little bit less. That comes out of my account. At the end of the month.

But it doesn't. So it just sits there. And kind of teases you. $31. And 87 cents that is. And that really significantly. Hasn't changed in two or three weeks. At all.

But it says in the last 28 days. I've added 2,745 subscribers. And my average duration. up to 2 minutes and 22 seconds. So I just have no retention of viewers at all. I've never really had. Therefore, I had to do tons and tons of videos just to compensate for that.

But it works. It just doesn't pay. Alright, let's go on eBay. My lifeline here. Let's see if we have any luck. Nope. Three something. Uh, we have any luck? Uh, no. Three view, three order, three, three something. Uh, let's see what this is.

Uh-oh. Let's see something that could be. No, I'm not sure. Uh. Uh. Uh. sure. I think I'm with the one I bought. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yes.

I figured it was. So this is the Inspiron. There's a battery beeping. I have two Dell Inspirons listed for sale. One keeps beeping. And I figured that's what it is. Yes. It's battery beeping.

It's the actual. It's not the battery itself. It's the actual, it's not the battery itself. It's the little battery inside. I figured it was the CMOS battery inside. CMOS battery inside. Yeah, that's right figured see we have here bummer although I do need sales

if the offer is still too low I'm just not going to do it so I'm kind of a little pickle here we'll put more stuff up today maybe let's see what else we got I have one sale from yesterday oops We'll put more stuff up today, maybe. Let's see what else we got. I have one sale from yesterday. Oops.

Let's see what else we got going on here. So let's check. So I'm still on my eBay, which is usually the last thing I check per morning. Let's see if we got anything else. Or if it's just that. We can just be really busy. Like really busy.

Now there's like. One order. No feedback. I got to print out one other thing. So I'll get my printer up and running here it's funny thing is I have lots of listings and I have lots of oh shoot I gotta turn that on um interesting interested buyers yet nobody's really buying anything Texas instrument TI pulled out Texas Instruments TI something pulled out

we're going to play around with those later so let's see my printer I took the thing off let's see My printer, I took this thing off. I unplugged it to plug something else in my printer. Alright, now the sound of my printer coming up.

Before I do that, let's check something else here for the morning and so i'll have another wide open day so we'll really i'm gonna concentrate on more stuff for um etsy and also to put on eBay Etsy you have to have $25 before they'll transfer it to your account it's automatic but on Mondays even if you have like three dollars then they'll transfer i think right now i have like three dollars so so i've got two orders i need to do the one i did yesterday i need to print this out three motherboards for Sega Dreamcast and they're all defective donor boards so things don't have to work to sell because

buyers buy those buyers that need parts for off boards so therefore you never throw away anything you always resell busy motherboards I do miss I do my defective donor boards and then buyers get them and do what they will with them so I did sell those That helped me out a little bit. I need lots of those. So that's that order. And then I just had an order. Just one order.

So it gives me two orders. So now it says eBay's got, it says there's a, every once in a while you get something new. It says faster listings without heavy lifting. Turn your product images into detailed drafts in seconds with ai powered bulk listing tool now available across all categories so i so that's the second integration of ai i've seen on ebay now the first being the descriptions however i haven't used it uh just because i like doing my own way and what i really need is ai that i can uh ask to crop my photos but i haven't seen that option yet

uh there's really no way to have ai actually make your listings because you gotta take the pictures and you gotta do all that. Plus I do videos every listing now. Although it hasn't really helped much. I do do it as well. So we have that listed and that listed. I mean that printed so it's two orders. I have two power supplies coming in and I want to see if I'll get them today or probably not. It was only in Georgia. Because I have three Apple Duo laptops.

Where my two Duo docks don't work right now. But I found power adapters for the laptops themselves. So that way I can at least test them and get a couple of those listed. And he had two of them that were fairly priced to a fair amount All right. Alright, so let's see, no I'm not going to get it. I thought maybe I'd get it by today. So it's two power supplies, they're the M2693 power supplies for my PowerBook Duo laptops. Oops. It's coming from Georgia. And it looks like it's not going to be here.

No, it's still way in Georgia. Nope. I try to keep an eye on my shipping orders. That's really the only orders. Oh, my other order. Oh, my boxes came in today. I have to check my boxes. I'll check those in a minute. Alright so that's my morning.

Pretty quiet. So that means I'll go on to lots of. Stuff for eBay today. So you'll see lots of new shorts. Of different things listed and then we'll do some... Oh we're going to play around with Texas Instruments. I've got lots of power adapters and all kinds of fun stuff for

Texas Instruments. The TI-99 TI-99 4A I think it is called. I've got five of them. And I've got a couple more somewhere. They're pretty fun. Most of them are the silver ones. Texas Instrument. But I also have a tan one

downstairs somewhere. or one or two tan ones. I'd probably keep the tan one, and I'm going to sell all these, and I'm also going to do Commodore 64, I think I have three or four, so I'm going to sell motherboards and keyboards for those as well.

So those will probably be on my list of stuff to do today. And then we'll come up with yeah I think I probably will pretty much fill the day and try and do a little get a little time where I can play a little bit I uploaded all my games back onto my ps5 Pro and I want to replay or haven't really played yet. Yesterday I played the thing. Just because I had just gotten it.

It wasn't too bad. It was like $30. It was worth it. It was alright. I'm a fan. It's nothing spectacular but fun. I'm stuck right now. I can't figure out where I'm going to go next but we'll figure that out. So that's the morning and then we'll see what uh the rest of

saturday brings and then i'll talk to you guys later i'll figure out some system we'll talk about uh uh aisley i mean um actually i want to talk about drones later because just look at that drone thing going around uh flying around so we'll get some history on drones and where they're going pretty scary stuff there all right so i'll talk to you guys later all right
