Hey what is up YouTube hope you guys are doing good road to 100 of course I didn't check the number this morning but I think I looked at it yesterday I'm about 79 thousand subscribers out of a hundred thousand so far so thank you very much welcome to the newcomers if you guys watched my last vlog I told you guys I was gonna show you my computer back there and I just need to do a dust thing I didn't do it in the last video because it was raining outside but here's my chance and I'm sorry for screwing things so much I've been inside all day I was inside all day yesterday - trying to get that Samsung Tab s2 tablet review up for you guys so I've been I don't know I've been a vampire for for like the last day and a half two days but it's not even sunny right now at least the sun's behind the clouds parking gets sunny real sunny later on but uh I'll show you what the computer looks like I haven't really looked at it deeply so I don't know how dirty it is so don't judge me I usually blow it out every six months or so so you guys should do the same alright guys I know I usually cater to the average consumer review Channel I'm gonna list off some specs here so I know it might get a little too technical what I have here this system is about four years old it's it's ancient in computer years I guess you can say it usually I switch out my computer's every five years that's when it starts to have some hiccups and some issues and whatnot but underneath that coolermaster heatsink thats aftermarket it's a I seven core processor it's the model 2600 Kay but that i7 processor that thing is still a darn beast when I compared the performance against the hospital processors of 2015 I believe the hospital processors compare comparing to another i7 processor it was only about maybe a 15% increase in speed I was expecting a little bit more but it didn't warrant for me to replace the entire system and whatnot but let me show you guys what I think is the best investment ever made hopefully the lighting picks up here if they Samsung pro SSD and I got a 512 gigabyte model this runs basically my operating system all the programs so it launches it really quick and whatnot the best investment ever did much faster than these old school platter hard drives that take some time to spool up and spin down here it's a terabyte each their Western Digital blue models so really economy models going over here we got 16 gigabytes of ddr3 RAM nothing too special those were from Corsair power supply units and this is newer it's a corsair 6 600 watt model and if you guys have been following me for a while on social media i posted photos when i bought this and there's about maybe a year ago so maybe your and a half i bought this and then i bought a new graphics card and this is actually not the new one either this is actually very old long story short i am still using an ancient PCI 2.0 Express video card it's a Nvidia if I can remember here at 9800 gtx+ I believe it what it is and this is why I want to show you my computer yes it is all this crap but you guys see the videos that I produce you don't need a super duper crazy system to produce the videos that that that I do and not even the video is today but if you even go back a year ago my videos even look that great but this is the same system that did my ugly old videos to compare to my good looking videos today it's still the same system that's practically it that's one I really wants to show you guys wireless card in the back I mean the guy saw the antenna sticking out back here Wireless and is not in wireless AC my router upstairs is a wireless AC but haven't upgraded to to the AC standard as of yet so that's about it here this is an old-school cooler master case only one person has mentioned it so far that have seen this this case I had this I bought this after college and that was probably that was 2005 so this case is about 10 years old completely aluminium 100% all aluminium there's no flippin vents except I guess for the top part there but it is old-school look at that there's no there's no filtration either so that's why it accumulates a lot a lot of dust over time and and that's about it keep it as simple man keeping it basic it's about using the tools that you got and just using it efficiently that's all I can say but on that let's go to the next clip here and I'm gonna answer some of your questions that you guys submitted last time hey guys you don't almost forgot freaking unboxing time freaking I'm so out of my element I'm not in the car that's why but I got the questions here but that let's unbox what's in this one here is gonna be most likely the next item to review right if you guys follow me on social media you guys prior uh heard that I was gonna get this anyways but these are the brand new sound link twos from Bose and they look almost identical to the bose qc25 s but I'm pretty sure there's no nose cancelling on these but they are wireless which is the beacon behind the convenience behind that and if I remember I believe these are two hundred and seventy nine dollars I personally pay for this obviously you see it from the Amazon box here I personally pay for this most didn't send me anything Bose has never sent me anything before but anyways got these to try out and I probably see this sometime either late end of this week if not sometime next week so alright question time alright so I apologize in advance if I pronounce your name wrong first one here is to true the bad thing is that this is most likely a Vietnamese name and I'm Vietnamese myself so totally embarrass I'm sorry about this man but he asked did I ever think of giving up YouTube because the channels growing too slow or the support isn't what I set up to have and he also asked was quitting corporate smart to do two part question here regard the YouTube thing I set up a 12 month goal just like any other business that you should do dedicate 12 months to it at least minimum and then I went balls to the walls did what I could and just see if it was something that would be doable in the long run so those first 12 months the channel grew and it grew very well grew fast and every month I have a goal or a number that need to reach and I reach those goals every month and of course at the end of the year as well so thankfully by at the end of month 1212 a it's I broke even I guess you can say I'm able to pay pay for the mortgage pay for my health insurance like I just broke even and it's nothing but up from here so I guess you could say it for me I wasn't growing slow considering that I didn't have any videos that went viral I don't think my videos are meant to go viral there so how you say structured reviews and usually those kind of reviews those kind of videos don't go viral they don't get a million views in like two or three days or anything like that no I it steadily grew and it grew at a pace at a trend that I could easily follow and it's sure enough hit the goal that I needed it to so thankfully it worked out was putting corporate smart to do and I would say hell yeah man I hated corporate um here I can work at my pace and don't get me wrong I bust my butt but I'm able to put what I create out there and I guess it's no different from when you were like five or six years old and you made some kind of painting at school or at home or so and you brought to your parents and you're like hey look mom you know what I got and it's no different here I I want to produce something that I am proud of and I'm happy about and Here I am doing it but am I ever gonna go back I can never say never maybe some catastrophic thing might have in my life and I might have to you never know but for now for the time being I don't foresee doing so and I hope I never will I hated it man all right next question here Ben Smith best advice to give a college student who wants to succeed I would say for your academic career this is what I personally did sounds total nerdish or whatever you call it I kept a sheet of paper folded it until like this little square and I kept in my pocket with a pen I got a total nerd but I put down everything that needed to do that day on there down to the time down to how much time is allotted for each activity and on time by the school and studying but down to working out down to leisure time down to the time that needed to sleep and I'll be honest with you they always probably the best most organized time in my life now I have a kid and whatnot and it's a little bit tougher now but back in the day man I was going to the gym getting my 1 hour 45 minutes to an hour workout was it Monday Wednesday Friday and Sundays and I was setting or a lot of time to cook and eat healthier meals than my other fellow college students and I don't know I just live there really structured but it was real I got a lot of my goals done basically so a lot of leisure time was lated but a lot of work not only you know physically for myself but also academic work as well so a lot of that got done all again by that sheet of paper another suggestion I would say is now in hindsight like I said last time I was in college was 2005 so kind of getting old now looking back I had so much like compared to today I had so much time you don't realize it as a college student you think your day is jam-packed and don't get me wrong I mean it is busy but compared to today and I'm not talking about because I have a kid or because I run a business even when I was working in corporate compared to my college life college life you had so much time on your hands and I would say take advantage of that if you can go out and tour go out and travel go out and do some volunteer work and that time I'll do volunteer work at your local community or whatnot I'm saying that there's a I don't for example if there like some catastrophic event in the world if you can as always programs out there fly out there and there are times when either churches or student organizations do pay for some or half or whatever the expense is so it does help you financially I know it's not cheap but at least look into it at least just ask you won't know until you ask and if it's something that you can do go out and do it it's a life-changing event it opens your eyes to beyond your neighborhood that you grew up in and beyond the city that you grew up in beyond the college life that you know once you go out there and see the world man it just changes your perspective and I didn't learn that and I'll be honest I didn't learned that until after college because at that time I felt like I was very limited whether it be school whether it be financially but now looking back at it I had more time then and financially again those programs they were there in the summer time I work part time I didn't save up my money but I saved up my money to pay off school which is you know a good alternative but then if I look back if I can just do one summer or one semester where I saved up that money and used it to travel just help somebody somewhere out in the world through some kind of program or organization man that would have been great but I didn't do a lot of that stuff until after I graduated but then I'm limited to how many pto days how many days off that a gift from my employer at the end day I am so restricted and it could be a week off you know helping people that's great but I don't know man I think I want to do more than that you know I mean it's just not just a one-week thing an entire year out of 52 weeks I don't know I I just I find joy in it that's just me personally but again the most important thing is you use your time and you have more time than you think open up a business look into business investing so things that school doesn't teach you look into those kind of things next one Stuart Phillips where do I envision my channel two years from now and he also says to check out Casey nice that Casey nice that's a badass man I really do like him after watching his videos I really want to do a time lapse as a video transition I swear to god I really want to do so but I have I have held back in doing so I don't want to imitate his style but answer his question where do I vision the channel from two years from now I I don't know man I'll be honest with you I'm I'm just going with the flow for now obviously like I said in my previous video I am trying to you know eventually make enough so I can put my little girl in preschool that would be you know four years or so down the road we do need a new car on the house so we need that up obviously and so I mean that that's probably my goals it's more personal goals but other than that the channel it's it's doing fine I don't I don't want to be like I don't know I don't want to be sold worldwide known I guess you can say it's nice but I don't know I I'll be honest man I'm I don't even know if I want to strive for a million subscribers the reason being is because once I had that number focused in my head it's a numbers game I still want to focus on what I want to do and just help people and and no matter how long it takes to get to a million than it is what it is and I know I'm doing a video about a hundred thousand subscribers but it's more about you guys to be honest with you I'm doing these vlogs so you guys get to know me a little bit more as you can see the vlogs they get what two thousand views and whatnot and compared to my other videos where they get 50 60 80 100 thousand views you know I'm doing these vlogs they don't make me any money which is fine if I'm doing it for you guys and I'm taking my time answering this question so that's what I want to do I don't know it just money money is evil man that's all I gotta say next question Wesley erlan and Marko Napolitan sorry if I pronounced it wrong where should you start if you want to get into YouTube more specifically on a budget like I said if you're on a budget I start out on a budget just now recently like I said I just bought the camera and whatnot and prior to that man for a good year and a half and my channel is only two years old full-time a year and a half I was using a old Nikon d5100 today it's the equivalents of d50 500 or so and that's how I was using and some cheap lighting forty dollars for a set of two or three off of Amazon and I had a crappy tripod the thing that I would recommend tripod do you know you don't have to get a decked out camera you can use you can use your phone's camera but the more important thing is proper lighting spend a little bit of money on lighting spend a little money in your tripod and a video head tripod that is and other than that practice on your speech I know my speech isn't the best when I'm doing vlogging that's why I do two narratives that's why I'm not on camera focus on your strengths and be consistent that is the number one rule I know so many people who want to do this they put up five videos maybe eight videos which seems like a lot but over the course of 365 days 52 weeks a year it's not much it's not consistent and then they just fall off the bridge and no one no one remembers your name no one remembers Jim's review room if I just stop doing videos and whatnot you know I mean so consistency is key um first do it as a hobby don't focus on the money don't focus on the and the I don't know popularity that you would gain just just do it with a personal purpose and of course it shouldn't be money because you will make nothing in the first several months that you do is you make nothing you probably won't even pay your own cell phone bill but on that you just got a start be consistent and again yeah okay camera more importantly the lighting and a video head tripod that's about it so that's all the questions I know this is long-winded these questions this question session alone was freaking eighteen minutes so far sorry about that but um I don't know I try to answer these questions because they're genuine questions and I try to answer them with a lot of meat and hopefully I I don't know man if I can influence somebody to do something you know great down the road I know some people in the past have done so for me it's because they taking the time to do so and I hope I've if I can then be great so more questions write them down below I'll answer them next week and this video is about an end I'll talk to you guys later count subscribe and I'll see you in the next video you guys
