Episode Date: August 24, 2025

Disregard all the Outside YouTube Pros Noise by "Just Doing You" my End of Summer 2025 One on OneDongles, Dongles, I Love Saying Dongles as I Test all these Accessories From PS2, 01-05 Xbox Era

Good morning, everyone. It is now eight, no, I'm sorry, six-nineteenth. Today is Sunday, which is our we always love our Sundays. It's August the 24th, 2025. So next weekend is already Labor Day weekend, which is pretty crazy. This month just, I didn't even see August. So I know it was really hot. So last night, my project journey, man, I had over 1,600 views, which is pretty awesome. I had spent a good couple hours with my buddy Zippy working on Raspberry Pi programming to come up with some cool visuals. It's a lot of work. I'm starting to learn how to do it, but obviously he does it really quick. So you have a second brain or brain extension.

I use my ideas. He actually does the programming for me. And then it's not perfect of what I want, but it's pretty cool. And I try to, I only have a small viewing window besides me. behind me to put things so we're working on it so it's coming up pretty cool it got really really hot again and I shut off my air conditioning fan unit behind me so the middle of night had to turn it back on and that was much cool I turned the air conditioner I was like ah so in my bed I was sweating because there's a not only one I run the raspberry pie I have a small little projector

and that runs heat so those are both running heat and that without any air in that corner I was really dying last night. I even had my light face mask on, but I was still really, really hot. Then I changed it to the air ignition, and then I was much cooler. I slept much better for the rest of the night. But we had a lot of views. Pretty cool. So I'm pretty much on YouTube. Now again, 24 hours a day. As soon as I'm done, I get up, and then I come over here, and I stop my podcast for the morning to see what's going on.

I also played around yesterday with some little teeny accessory PS2 era dongles love the word dongle and some other stuff just kind of organize it into little sections so we're going to resell we're going to sell a bunch of that stuff and little lots

here and there later on not video but I also got a lot of the Wii controllers we're going to get some more of those listed today as well so today we'll just do a listing day pretty much maybe we'll do a video or something later around and then again I spend a use a good about an hour yesterday I spent a couple of hours with my buddy Zippy trying to get my visual set for the night so it took me a long time to get that going the way it did pretty cool we'll keep mixing up adding some more stuff it's a really

fun Raspberry 55 program reminds me of I can just look at the program and understand it a little bit it's like it reminds me a basic programming when I was a kid so it's pretty cool I don't think I'd ever learn how to do it myself, but it's cool that at least I can have an assistor of someone assisting me in doing it. So it's pretty awesome. All right, so let's check the news here this morning. Yeah, so 1600 was one of my best view at morning overnight, so that's pretty awesome. And I changed the light. lighting around so it's not as the color was getting in the way so we're still

working on lighting almost almost want to take the color completely out of it but I like the color too it kind of it hits the background a little bit too much we'll move it a little bit more tonight see if we can get so we'll do project journey and every night and then I'm with my brain scan to come in so we're gonna incorporate that in hopefully because I have crazy dreams I don't move around a lot while I'm sleeping, but I do create, you know, I'm having, just, like, insane dreams. So hopefully we'll be able to incorporate, you can see what's going on in my head while I'm sleeping with a brainwave scan.

Hopefully it'll work out. It may, may not. We'll see. We'll see how it goes. So looking around for games, I haven't played any. I have, I just got a, a, tend to switch two in it, and I literally, turned it on two times really just into doing my things right now I just wanted to get the switch to have it and then we'll do something more with it later on switch to that is

and I'm just going to keep them not going to I'm not getting anymore the old days when I had when the original switch came out I started getting lots of them and selling parts I'm not really doing that anymore I can't really afford it anyway really working on my YouTube and other stuff I got lots of parts and other things I can list on eBay so let's get going here this morning let's see if we got it will hit

get a little Etsy up all right I'm going to order on Etsy that's a good start starts the morning out awesome renew listing PS1 I think I can do that so one PS1 the original

1001 top cover so that's what I sold there. Shells, anything in the outer of a gaming system is actually sells a lot more than anything that's inside of it. Covers, cases,

the buttons of any system. That's where all the resell stuff is, really. So who doesn't need a new? Because usually PS1, if you have one, it's really dark. So,

almost like a brown. So I've got some good replacement covers. So that's where that's, why that sold so that's pretty awesome and Etsy is the only place that I have not taken away free shipping probably

without Etsy because I really don't get all of sales there as it is so I don't want to take that way I can't all just not have a lot of sales and only making a few bucks there eBay is the one where I changed everything I had to all right so let's look at

parchment and so So Parchmark social media site. My closet. I have 1,186 followers on Parchmark. 326 listings. Hasn't changed. Hasn't sold.

One time I had an offer. Pretty cool. I like it, though, because it doesn't cost me anything to be here. Like, Etsy's different. Etsy's 20 cents per listing. And you say, well, that's not a lot. But if you add up, how many listings I have on Etsy? 120 something, so 20 cents times that.

And I think it's every few months that they hit you with that again. So it does add up. So if I'm only, I've got to sell enough to at least cover that and then maybe make a few bucks. So even though I sold one thing, it doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to make money from that because I still have to pay for that 20 cents per listing. And I don't know what'll sell and what won't,

so I have to have lots of things listing. listed but i don't have that much only in the hundreds as opposed to parchment which i have 300 something doesn't cost me anything to be here so i can just leave it there for some reason they would say i'll be in charge to have that listing all those listening then i would take it down i would just close my parchment but i don't see that okay so let's go to rss feed i'm excited to see how sorry you guys are getting commercials on my uh podcast but I'm excited to see what it'll do for me monetarily wise we really could use another side hustle I really need a survival hustle eBay being my only survival hustle

Even a side hustle at my Etsy is kind of a side hustle but not quite it's a little bit less than a side hustle They call it a side quest meaning I'm making a not much there. All right so let's see what's going on my podcast here had a couple download two downloads yesterday It's pretty much my average. One to three, 424 in the last 30 days, and that's only because one day, for some reason, I still don't know why. I had 351 downloads, which is pretty awesome.

All the time, 1,148. So, let's see, we've got Canada, Toronto, Ashburn, is always there. Israel, Moscow, and India. Pretty awesome. Little dots. My message in a bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go. It's always exciting to see. I get kind of details already, but I don't know exactly what you know.

And there's no way, you don't get any sort of like a feedback or anything. But it is monetized now, and there is commercials, usually in the beginning, I believe. And my podcasts are longer now, just because I'm doing more in the morning. Plus, now it's a commercial to try to make it more, more time to listen to it. because there's always things going on. So now we're going to number four, which is Shopify. So this is new. This cost me to be here.

And it's a monthly thing that costs me to be here. And I also need a migration program within it from eBay. Between the two of them, it's $60 a month that I just added, which is a lot. Let's see if we had any sales. We have two orders, but no orders through Etsy that I'm seeing. I wouldn't know yet these are eBay orders, so it's integrated. I can cancel that other integration program that I never have to really watch out for what sell or don't sell and have to remove it.

This will automatically remove it, I believe, it does. So let's see. So we just had a couple orders. It looks like actually a quiet weekend. Overall, I didn't actually have any sales just at all on eBay. And I stopped. I took a break from pushing out orders. I mean pushing out new listings, so that makes a difference.

I need to get back to that. Can't take my foot off the gas when it comes to that. Because we start getting slow here. And I got lots of bills to pay. I got my full payments at the K-L I don't know how to say it K-L-A-R-N-A I owe like $800. So all the things I paid up front to get first and then I'm now I'm paying it more. That's a big thing to chop away at. All right, so let's go to YouTube.

Oh yeah, let's check out my really pumped this morning. What I do is when I wake up, I reach over. grab my phone that's running live and then I stopped the live feed although I think it actually had some watching still and yeah we have 1.5k and then I saw how many views I was like oh that's pretty awesome although see this really bums me out so my estimated revenue went down to yesterday forty six dollars and seventy six cents a watch hour is one point four a view views 289.7 K. So even though I had 1.5K views overnight, and I ran it for 12 hours,

the minute I go to bed, which is like around 5, until I get up around 5 this morning. That 12 hours are running the live stream, probably people just coming in and out for a few minutes, or if not even that, because I probably could be a seconds, only generated, and didn't generate anything. I think it. I actually lost money. so that's a real problem that's that's the thing about me out i just wish that somehow that would generate something even if people just come in for a little bit so we'll check some of the new subscribers uh this this one has 58 then all zeros call them fake subscribers but i just subscribed to them you see it's the new ones that i can see zero some out of seven lots of zeros oh here's

one for this is a bigger one for me 1.3k uh so that was pretty cool those are the ones I'm looking for and then someone that was one and that's all I see so my subscribers now 69,655 oh and yesterday I also did very important I was the most important thing I did yesterday my one-on-one it was a good one too I did it for about an hour really talking about how where I'm at now I put a lot of time and effort that one i'm good so that one's up now uh i promoted that that one and i promoted uh yeah the one-on-one project journey man yesterday yeah so it's the first thing yesterday morning i did a one-on-one i always put a silly hat on but i've had two silly hats on yesterday i put on a my zilda hat

like a baseball hat and then i have some zelda ears and i put those on as well so i'll make a link you'll see the link for a one-on-one it's pretty awesome try to be his detail and try to help out and try to tell everyone to get rid of the noise of all the professionals that just talk about ways to make your YouTube channel better you just do you and then you make it the way you want than anybody else that's no fun all right so let's see what else we got going on so yeah so I have five thumbs up I give a thumb up so actually four That's a pretty good night. But as we can see, it doesn't generate.

But it does generate me more. I'm almost at 70,000 subscribers. Pretty awesome. 16,083 in the last 28 days. As we've always talked about, the promotions are just killing me. Cost-wise. There's no way I would have gotten anywhere near

the amount of stuff I have. I didn't do it. So upfront investing. Project Journeyman, And my new one-on-one, I just started. I put $60 in that one. I also get some sort of a promotion, but I don't know where it is.

I'm learning all about the YoG guys. It's Johnny Kate's Center. I did that one for $40. So I was well over now probably, this month I'm almost at $400 I spent with promotions. Because I was up to three. I was over three, and then I paid $100 and some off of it so that I could add more back to it.

And then what happens is at the end of the month, September 1st, it'll take the whole thing back out. So, it looks like I haven't really selling stuff. So we're going to kind of take a break on it. But I wanted to put a good chunk on my one-on-one because it kind of gives you an overview of where I've been and where I'm going. My project journeyman, I did one promotion for those.

And now we'd just let ride. Each network will come up with some more fun stuff. But they're 1.4K, 1.5K, and they're learning all about the YoGi, 1.9K. So those are my big, overnight, the last 48 hour of use. Oh, so that's pretty cool. All right, so let's go. It's just hit some business here. All right, let's look at it.

I think I only saw two sales. So we have an offer. So we have 1,152. feedback let's see what we got for feedback exactly as described great value all the inner screws for the Nintendo GameCube so screw sets are one of the best things that give back well after you sell everything else I've been selling Nintendo screw sets for for seven years

now still tons left but I'm running out of specific ones screw sets next one ones by my dolls I sold a doll set everything good and then a defective donor motherboard because I sell either working or defective donor meaning you may not be able to fix it but you can use it for parts motherboards and that was for the Sega a CD mk dash 4102 I don't know how to fix anything like that so but I sell them for other buyers to get my brain scan thing I had hoped it would already have been shipped but it has not kind of bummer the guy said he was gonna ship it now he has still says a waiting shipping bummer I'll never get that damn

and the only other thing I purchased was a Tendos switch to travel case the cheap kind comes with the screen protector and all kinds of so that's coming in the butt that hasn't been shipped either says tracking available yet they hasn't put it into the it isn't hasn't put it into the postal service yet because you would see it would say accepted and it still doesn't so that's a bummer all right so let's look i have a message offer let's check out Oh, let's check out before I do that. I always want to do sales first. Where we got?

I want to show one of the little guys. I sold a fan. So the Xbox 360 has the N-I-D-E-C fan, which is hard to find. I found a few more. And the way you can find it is if you look in the back through your grill, if you don't see the whites of their eyes of the fan, then you know you don't have that good fan. it's a black label so it would be black you wouldn't see it so i sold one of those fans the three

pin i found some more so i can put a couple more up and then i sold two white beasles for the xbox 360 i don't know we're going to update that listing so those are again at the xbox 360 fat most of them are chrome some of them had the white white beasles are much better looking at And then if they have the matching, matching eject button, that's white also. This, I sell them both ways either, this is for two beasles only, but I also sell the eject button with the beasel. All right, so let's, I think my six. sale ends today we'll do a new sale done tomorrow through the labor day probably so we'll see that and then we're gonna get on the look like these are really easy peasy things to

ship out and today's sunday so all right says now i'm asking someone's asking me how about a price for top and bottom Yeah, yeah. So he thought it was all of it, but it's not. All right, Sega, $9. I've had a little quiet weekend, just fine. But I've got to get back on, again, I've got to push down the gas pedal again because I don't. You can make an offer on each listing.

this thing everyone needs something different so I a la carte everything a cart everyone needs something different you make it more fine each list And then we had some of the offered $9 and attracted it. What? That's craziness. And my listing already has 30, 25% off. It was that $10.50, you're offering down $9 and then decided, no, that's probably not what I wanted. And then took the offer back.

That's crazy, man. So it would be $10.50 plus a $4.4 flat fee. So for a $4 flat fee, I admit it made. a huge difference but it was time and we're compensating by adding a lot more stuff although this weekend you wouldn't know it because we're really quiet but we did lots of other fun things my goal hopefully is I can keep ratching up my YouTube here and at some point this will be a survival hustle I can't even get it to be a side hustle meaning I can't even get it to make a hundred

bucks a month. I only get you only get paid through Google after a hundred dollars and it's only at the end of the month I'm I'm I think I think I saw it the Google ad sense like sixty dollars I would really need to make like hundred dollars a day I thought by now I'd be well into that way this many subscribers but as we've talked about they're mostly faked subscribers so I can't really so what are the 69,663 maybe a thousand of probably people that actually watch anything that i do so the rest of them just kind of just sit there so it's kind of a moot point there it's it's fun to say i got that many but it's not really

helped me out but it's so fun still i'm building the way you again you have to do you and this is how my how my story's going here on youtube so this is how we're building there not looking at other people's there's no magic buttons you can turn on or off within a listing uh to, I mean, within a, to make it do any better, it's just your content. My content is just quick in, quick out, people watch for a few seconds, or listen to a podcast for a few minutes, and then they're out. And I just have to have a lot of them. That's 69,66 now.

So we should hit hopefully 70,000 today, maybe. Pretty exciting. We'll, of course, put this podcast up. It goes up. And I'll have the link of the two things I did yesterday, which was the very, really good sit and watch that if you can it's pretty cool I like doing one-on-ones that way you get to see me a little bit see what I'm about I've got a nice big TV now showing my screen all the things that actually showed you the exact

Google promotions that I paid I don't it so then you so you know that I'm talking about is true it was over $1,200 almost $1,500 in Google promotions it's in there you can see the actual price paid per month and everything else i'm doing and then i did dongles i called it dongles dongles i love saying dongles for about an hour we played around with all kinds of little accessories stuff from the ps2 original o one o five xbox error and also a lot of plugs and stuff for i want to say the nintendo game game boy game boy era two lots of that kind of stuff so it was fun what I was doing is I was organize it into

piles and then I was able to test all the power adapters work for one those little three volts it'll at least it showed a red light on the little charger I had and I organized it so today we're gonna throw all that stuff up in little little listing lots it's not cheap then a bunch of cables that original I believe also for the game Game Boy for like more than one player kind of deals. I don't know if they were it uses anymore, but things like that are worth a little bit. There's a little stuff that can be worth a little bit more and just and lots of big stuff. Plus it's a lot cheaper ship with that way. So we'll put them in my little piles and then we're going to that's what we're going to concentrate on today. I'll try to get a video on later on, but today is going to be a listing day. It looks like for me. Okay, so I was about it. this morning a little bit i have a little about 25 minutes or so all right so keep it on my project journey man i'm pretty much like as i said i'm on youtube 24-7 i can at some point

somehow uh and we'll get some more listings on ebay today we'll probably do a video sometime i was going to go outside but i don't think i'm going to get outside today i got to get some more video of some more listings up and some more things going on so all right so you guys have a wonderful sunday enjoy it how weather here is pretty good our hurricanes gone so we're all safe right now until the next one but besides that it should be a good day every day is a good day all right i'll talk to you later all right bye
