 We're going live on Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, I think that's it, I think that's everything. So we're going to live in a bunch of places, but we're going to go through a carousel of items and Amazon of stuff. And the first thing I got in the carousel is my favorite coffee, Deathwish coffee. The strongest coffee you can get, I believe it's the strongest, that's what they call it, strongest coffee you can get, but it is so smooth, it's delicious coffee, drink a lot of coffee. I'm a Java junkie, they tried to send me to Maxwell House to try out the 90 day program and I got out, I'm still a Java junkie, and I drink about 15 cake cups a day. And hey Monica, how you doing? And so I'm a Java junkie, and good evening, thank you for coming by, I really appreciate you coming by on the live stream and hanging around, we're talking about my favorite coffee, my favorite coffee and what's in your cup today, you got a cup, what are you drinking today? Deathwish coffee. It comes in a nice little box, of course, cake cups are the best, right, cake cups, because it's a portion, exact portion, so you get the perfect cup every time, really good stuff. I love it, I love it, most strong coffee. Okay, today we're talking about budget microphones, okay, we're talking about, you're going to get started as a content creator, you want to start a podcast or a YouTube channel or you're doing Zoom calls and you know, you need a microphone, so you start looking around, you're saying I don't want to spend 150 dollars on a microphone, so you start looking at the cheaper microphones, the less expensive microphones, and you're saying are they really worth it, I'm using this microphone right now, this one, Toner sent me this one for free to review, Toner's a good company, and this is the Q9, okay, the Q9 comes in a box, nice sized big box, it comes with the whole cabang in here, comes with the condenser microphone, a boom arm set, a shock mount and a pop filter and the windscreen that slips over the top as well, and I'm using it right now, where it's got a volume control button on it, up and down, and if you long press the volume control, either the up or the down, it's a mute button, okay, so, but there's no LED indicator to let you know that you're muted or that you're unmuted or, okay, I'm getting some, you can't hear me clearly, okay, it's probably the microphones that I'm using, how's that sound, this is the Q9 that I'm using right now, that's highlighted in the carousel, and it's listening to it, so it sounds okay, so what is it, for 43% off, so you know, for under $50 you're going to get this microphone, it's not a $300 microphone, it's not the greatest microphone in the world, but it's good enough to get started if you're on a budget and you want to get started, you know, you need a microphone to do your podcast, to do your gaming, to do your YouTube videos or whatever voiceovers or whatever you're doing, okay, so that's the Q9, that's the first one, now, Toner sent me these things for free to review and that's what happens when you're an influencer, when you're somebody on the internet and you have a following, they brand contact you and send you things to review and, you know, you review them and you get affiliate commissions when people buy the stuff, it's a pretty cool deal, the next item I have is another microphone that Toner sent me, it's a USB microphone, this one is the TC30, right here, I got the box right here, TC30, I'm going to play a video of me using the TC30, it comes with a desk mount and everything else, really, you know, for the price, now this one's under $40, it's on sale 7% off, comes with the desk tripod, like I said, the shock mount and the pop filter and all of that, so here we go. Okay, today we're talking budget microphones, okay, we're talking about the Toner TC30, USB condenser microphone, to plug and play microphone, it doesn't take any software, it's got a 2U warranty, come with it right here, 2U warranty, comes in a nice box, comes with a tripod, a shock mount, the pop filter and the microphone and of course the wire, it comes with a good length of wire and you're listening to it right now, okay, so that's the Toner microphone TC30, budget microphone quality, there's no mute button on there, no cough button, no gain control, no gain knob, nothing like that, there's no button on off switch on it, there's no volume control, it's just a straight microphone, I don't know what do you think, I'm gonna pull it up and show you, you've been listening to it right now, so there it is, the Toner TC30, TC30, let's pull the cord out, now there, that's how it sounds from the back of the microphone, this is how it sounds from the side of the microphone and this is how it sounds from the front of the microphone, now this is a top microphone, it picks up from the top not the side like the Blue Yeti, we'll pick it up from the side, this one will pick it up from the top, all right and like I said, okay so that's the TC30, now pretty cool microphone for the price, you can't beat that price at all and it comes like I said the desk mount, it's pretty sharp little microphone and if you're trying to get started and you want a budget, maybe that's something that'd be good for you, now of course it doesn't have the mute button, it doesn't have any controls on it, like the Q9 had the control on it where you can mute it and you can, it has the volume control, so the TC30 doesn't have that but it's also probably, it's also goes to the top of the mic, not the sides of the mic, like a lot of these condenser mics go from the side, this one goes from the top and that's the TC30 and I like the quality of that one, it was pretty good for the price, again you can't beat it, you're not spending $100, $150, $300 on a microphone, you're spending under $50 on microphones, these microphones are budget microphones, they're starter microphones to get started, okay, you're gonna get started then you're gonna upgrade, you're gonna upgrade to a better, not a better brand but a better model of microphone, okay so we're gonna move right through to the next model of the microphone and that's a TC777, now the TC777, the wire doesn't unplug from the microphone, so if the wire goes right into the microphone, excuse me, also has the desk mount to it and I'm gonna play the video of me using it so you can hear what it sounds, okay, what it sounds like. Okay today we're talking budget microphones, we're reviewing a couple of budget microphones Toner sent me a couple of budget microphones to review, they sent them to me for free, so full disclosure, this one is the TC777, we're using it right now, we're recording with it right now, came with a desk stand, tripod stand, the microphone, a shock mount and a pop filter, all pretty much assembled, comes with a two-year warranty right there on the box, two-year warranty and you know how does this sound, how's the audio sound, there's no adjustments on the microphone, there's no you know cough button or mute button, there's no volume control, there's no gain control, so you're pretty much you know stuck with what you got and as far as the the cord goes it's not that very long and it doesn't unplug from the microphone base you know, so if the cord frays or bends or you know goes bad the whole microphone is bad, you can't get a new cord all right, but other than that what do you think about that, I'm gonna pick it up, so this is us talking into it, now this is me getting close to it right, we'll do the pop filter all right, now there you can see on the side pretty nice little microphone right, pretty nice little microphone, USB plug and play, you don't need any software to use it, it just plugs in and but you're at the mercy of the settings because there's no adjustments to it, okay so as you could see when you talk directly into it, it picks up pretty good, hold on a second, it picks it up pretty good if when you're talking right into these microphones, again these are budget microphones, they're not something, they're not breaking the bank microphones, these are your starter microphones okay, to get started with them, to be a content creator what do you need to get started anyway, when you know you want to get started making content and doing this right, all you need is a phone, you got the camera in the phone or you can use natural light from a window, you

you know, and it's um thanks Monika, yeah exactly, you just got to get started and like I said, it's audience problem solution, you find the audience that you have, right, you build this audience and

amazon channel, you have your youtube channel, youtube channel has links in the description of your videos, like I said, you're cloning yourself and you're out there all over the place, right, and you're making money while you sleep, you've cloned yourself every time you make a video, it's a clone of you that's running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and has the potential to earn you money from work you did in the past, right, that's affiliate marketing, that's passive income that's making money while you sleep, right, I lost my train of thought, that's crazy, but anyway, so go to the,

not enough because it can dry up at any time, you know, the pandemic could hit again, and if you're in a restaurant business or an office business where you can't, you know, you can't go to the office anymore, it affects your income, but if you have side income coming in, side hustles that you've made, and they're coming in a little bit here, a little bit there, you keep building them and you have three, four, five of them coming in, the YouTube channel is what I was saying, so the YouTube channel, you know, you have your links in the description, and then after you have a thousand subscribers and 4,000 watch hours, you get paid for the ads that are on your videos as well, so you're getting two income streams over YouTube channel, right, and you could also have an Instagram channel, you can have a TikTok channel, you can drive traffic to Amazon links, there's always to make money online, if you go to youdidn'tknow.live and go to my YouTube channel, there's just a side hustle shuffle, and you can go check out all the videos that are on there on different ways to make side hustles, and that's, you know, basically, I think everybody needs a side hustle, everybody needs more than one stream of income coming in, okay, and if you don't have it, you should get it, okay, learn how to build it, learn how to build a stream of income that's not your job, I'm not saying quit your job and you're going to be a millionaire overnight, you know, I'm being real, okay, I'm being real, I'm being real, now you start these things and you build them up over time, five years, ten years, and by then maybe you can quit your job, you're not going to quit your job overnight, okay, you got to build them, you got to build a following, it takes a little time, okay, now some people, it happens overnight, I'm not going to lie, it does happen overnight sometimes, but the truth is for most people overnight success takes a lot of time, overnight success takes years, now my dog, I don't know if you can hear him, my dog is going absolutely back shit crazy in the background, so I got something going on outside, the dog barks at everything, it's pandemonium, the dog barks, then the people scream at the dog, and the dog barks some more, and the people scream at the dog, and it's just, it's craziness, it's craziness, so you know, what's the most crazy time in your house when the doorbell rings, right, when the doorbell rings, everybody just goes crazy, okay, Megawise is a company that sent me some stuff for free, they're the next item in the carousel, now I'm doing a review on items that people, that brands sent to me for free to review, now this item is a pretty cool item, Meg comes in a nice little case like this, you put this in your trunk, this is a jump starter for your car, all right, it's a power pack as well, it's got USB charging ports in it, when you open it up, it's got the cables for the, to jump your car, so you don't have to like ask that creepy guy in the parking lot, can you jump my car, do you have cables, you have this in your trunk, and you can jump your own battery, and if you're at the beach, if you're at the park, if you're camping, you can use this battery pack, I'm not going to pull it out, but it's in their battery pack, and it's got like 250 amps or something like that, it's crazy, the amount of amps, 2500 amps, 2500 amps, I'm sorry, and you can charge a lot of cell phones, you can run your speakers off of that, and you can run all kinds of different USB devices when you're out at the picnic or at the beach or whatever, pretty cool item, and like I said, you don't have to ask the creepy guy for a jump in the parking lot when your car dies, when you left the radio on, or you left the lights on, megawise, now this is a good company, this is a solid item, it's got some weight behind, it's really heavy, I shouldn't say really heavy, it's not really heavy, but it's solid, you know how some things you just feel, it feels hollow, plastic, cheap, megawise stuff is really well made, really solid, really solid, well made stuff, I'm real happy with it, and this is going in my emergency kit in the trunk of the car for emergencies, because you never know when you're going to need it, you know, so what does Yogi Berese, Yogi Berese, you don't have to have it because when you need it, that's when you need it when you've got to have it, megawise is a good company, they sent me a couple of things, and I'm waiting on a couple of other things for them to send me, actually it's in the mail, they said, but this one here is the megawise handheld massager, this I love, okay, you've seen a lot of massagers, USB charging massagers, rechargeable, you know, handheld with the pulsating like this, this has that, but this also has the ergonomic handle, now it's got, it's corded, it's plug, this is a plug-in, it's not battery operated, it's not rechargeable, okay, so it's got that that flaw to it, if you need that, but it's got the ergonomic handle where you can reach the back all the way around the back, all the way around the shoulders, I use this when I get home from work, and I go turn around and I work out my shoulders, I work out my thighs, get all the muscles opened up, it's amazing, they're saying now you massage your muscles, they have to work out, or they have to work, they have to physical labor, and you're getting the air and the oxygen, you know, pump, working through the muscles, and you're getting worked out, getting the kinks worked out, so you don't get stiff later, it's pretty cool, and since I've been using this, I've been feeling a lot better, my legs, my shoulders, my back, my neck, you know, I get a lot of, not a spring chicken, and I work hard, and it helps out, I think that it's worth having, you know, if so what, it's got the cord to it, it's not cordless, but that handle, look at this handle, you know, the other one, you can't do that, you can't get all the way around the back with that, you can't, you know, and I'm pretty far from the plug, so if you were closer to the plug, but you can get all the way around, you can get all the way around the side, if you want, you know, pretty cool, and it's got all the settings on it, and here too, the heads, it's got a bunch of different heads, and it screws right off, and it's got different ones, it's got fingertip heads, and pulsating heads, and tip heads, pointy heads, and round heads, so it's a pretty cool item there, pretty cool item indeed, the mega wise, and again, this remember I said it was solid, can you hear that? It's not a hollow plastic thing, this thing has some weight behind it, mega wise is a good company, I like, I love their stuff, their stuff is well made stuff, it's a good company to go check them out, go check out their website, they have a lot of good stuff on there, now the next thing I got in my carousel is a set of newer lights that I have, and they're on sale, now if you're a content creator, we were talking about microphones, so you also need, the number one reason people are going to tune you out is bad audio, so I don't know how the audio is, this is the Q9, I'm using the Q9, toner Q9, but I'm using the lights right here too, and they clip onto the desk, and there's one right there, and there's one over there, and they clamp onto the desk, and they have remote controls, you can make them brighter and less bright, and they come with also three different color lenses, red, yellow, blue, and white, okay, so pretty cool, I use them, they clamp to the desk, I used to use the soft boxes that were in the back of the room, and they took up a lot of space, and it was a lot to set up, these are a lot easier to set up, they clamp onto the desk, they unfold, and you hit the remote control, they're on, and they're set, they're ready to go, you got them set, they're perfect, and it works just fine, their LED lights, again, I'm all about getting started, okay, don't wait, what are you waiting for, don't wait to get started, get started, get started, get started, okay, because it's not overnight success, it's going to take some time to build, don't give up, what's the number one problem here, what's the number one reason that you're not going to be successful, what's the number one reason, you know, the number one reason you're not going to be successful is lack of action, you're not going to do anything, you're going to listen to me, you're going to watch some videos, and then you're not going to do anything, so you know, and then you're going to complain that it doesn't work when you didn't do anything, or even better yet, you're going to try it for two or three days, and say it doesn't work, you know, or even if you try it for 90 days, you know, most people quit something in 90 days, they can't stick to it, most people just they just they won't stick to something, you know, long term, they'll start something with good intentions like working out or eating a diet or whatever, or whatever it is, trying to change a habit, right, and within 90 days, they're back to where they were before because people just can't stick to what they want to do, they just they just can't do it, so it is that you, is that your problem, do you start things, and then you know, 90 days into it, you're doing something else because you quit, or you just gave up because you weren't happy with the results, well, you know, I'm telling you, something like this, making money online, starting side hustles, it's going to take a little bit longer, you know, than just an overnight success, you got to learn, you got to learn some skills, you know, learn how to make some content, you got to learn some some skills, you know, but you're going to learn that all on YouTube, you can go to YouTube University like I did, you can go to YouTube University, check out my YouTube channel, if you go to you didn't know dot live, like I said, and check out the YouTube channel is there, you can check it out. And all the videos are there for learning how to do side hustles. The next item I have in the carousel is a Casio EK7000, not a Casio camera is, it's like a GoPro camera, but it's on sale, it's $80 camera, right, under $80. The GoPro is like $500, $600 for the GoPro for this one, this one comes with the underwater case, the waterproof case comes with all the attachments, the bike helmet, the bike, the handlebars, all those attachments, right, came with all that stuff, and I used it pretty good, I like it, I'm going to see if I can get some pictures going here, I have, I took some pictures of it with it and some videos, what's going on here, might take me a minute to figure it out, there we go, photos, all right, and if I share my screen, there we go, all right, so there's some photos, I'm going to click onto here, now this is a stream in the background, this is just me taking pictures, now it's a 4K camera, this is a video, I'm going to play this video later, but it'll give you an idea of, I have this on a head mount, the camera, and it's just watching the drone go up, I'm going to play you this video later when I show you the drone, but that's the camera video, oh some pictures of me with the head thing, there's some more outdoor pictures, oh this was some up above Lake Placid, Northern New York where the lakes were still frozen, pretty cool, a couple of weeks ago, but nice little camera, I mean you know for the price $80 camera, I got it for a backup camera for B-roll and stuff, and I'm very happy with the quality for the price, very good camera, you can't beat $80 for a 4K action camera with all the attachments, all the stuff so you can get started right away, look at how beautiful that is, that's Lake George in Northern New York off the back deck, to me driving in some snow, all right that's enough of that with camera, so what do you think of the camera, the camera is pretty good, not bad, for the price it's excellent, for the price it's absolutely excellent, you can't beat an $80 4K action camera with all the attachments, with the waterproof case, you can go underwater with this camera, so I mean you can't beat that at all, we're going to keep on with the cameras, the webcam that I'm using right now is also on sale, now I'm all about getting started, you need a camera to get started, this camera is under $20, I'm using it for this live stream, okay, this is the camera I'm using, it's on my laptop, it's on my camera, it's on my screen right there, all right, clamped on, I needed a webcam back when the pandemic had to do zoom meetings and I couldn't find when they were, everybody was sold out of them, I ended up finding this one and getting it, it was a lot more than $20 when I bought it, because the demand was so high and everybody was sold out of webcams during the pandemic, I think I spent over $60 on the same camera that you're getting out for $20, and USB plug and play, you plug it into your computer, it works just fine, perfect, it's got a privacy flap, if I want to flap this down I can say goodbye, you can't see if I want to, you know, whatever, you know, pretty cool little camera, it also comes with a tripod that you can, you know, you don't have to have it on top of the screen, you can also put it on the desk and it has, it has the screw hole for a doggle, for a tripod, for a larger tripod, if you wanted to do that as well, and you know, again, I'm all about getting started, you don't have to spend $600 on a camera, matter of fact your phone has a great camera in it, okay, the phone has, these phones today have three, four, five lenses in them, right, it's incredible what you can do with these phones today, as far as what they have and what you can do with all the effects and everything, okay, people are filming motion pictures, full length movies on these phones, and nobody can tell a difference, right, nobody can tell a difference, so yeah, so good little camera, good enough to get started, there's no excuse to get started, you can't say I can't get $1,000 worth of equipment, you don't need $1,000 worth of equipment, I'm showing you stuff, you can get started, everything for under $100, you can get started for free if you want with your phone, and you just want to get off your butt and get started, you can get started with your phone, you know, the next item is something I bought for myself as well, these are LED work lights, I needed a pair of work lights for the back of my work truck, but I wanted magnetic lights to go so they would stick to the metal of the truck, and I got these, these are really cool, one of them is still in the truck because it was so bright I didn't need to, I only needed one, so this one I leave in the house, I leave this one on my furnace, so when I change my filters I have a light down there for that, and this is pretty cool, it goes all the way around the light, so any position it goes, it's got three settings on it, and it's got a flashlight in the front, and it's USB chargeable, which is the best part about it, it's USB chargeable, so you never have to worry about batteries, you always plug this into the USB, and it's always ready to go, and I have this on the back of my pickup, and it sticks on the bed of the pickup, and I drive around all day, it doesn't fall off, the magnet is that strong, and so like, you know, I got it because back in October it was getting dark at 430, I needed a light in the back of the truck, and I would just go hit this, and it would light the whole back of the truck, and I would see everything I needed to see with just the one light, and I wouldn't need the two lights, but very happy with it, and it's on sale, two lights under $20, LED rechargeable lights, you can't go wrong, you can't go wrong with that, I mean incredible incredible quality work light for the price, for the price, it can't be beat for the price, all right, we're getting close to, oh it's springtime, people are going to start spending time in their yards, and everything, and that there's coffee, people are going to start spending time in their yards, and I purchased this last year from my yard, and I really love it, it's the endless summer gas fireplace, I'm going to play you a video of me using it, if I can, let's see if I can, yeah this is what I got to do, just give me a second, I'm figuring it out, it's a one-man show deal, I think I got it, can you see that, yes you can, all right, so we're going to play this, this is the endless summer, I'm going to mute it, so anyway pretty cool fireplace, it comes with the blue fire stones, which I really like the blue, that's why I got it, I got it for the blue, underneath here is where you keep your gas, your cylinder, it screws right in, just like your barbecue does, it's got the control on the right, it starts just like a hot water heater, where you hold the igniter down for a couple of seconds, and then it sparks, when you know, came out of the box, put it together, it took me about 20 minutes to put it together, and but then once I got it, the instructions were there, how to start, it started right up, and really good, we have a lot of fun with this, we're sitting by this all night, all summer long, as it gets dark at night, you know, I don't have a fire pit in the backyard, so we use this, we put the chairs around this, it's got the little table edge around this, you put your drinks on there, or whatever you're using, your ash tray, or whatever you've got going on, and you know, pretty cool item to have in the yard, and it's a gas, you don't have to worry about putting out the fire, you just shut it off and it goes out, you know, and you know, like I said, we love it, we use it all the time, and it's a really good item to have in the yard, and it's that time of the year, and again in the fall, when it was fall, we were out there, it was something to do to keep you warm, so you actually enjoyed your yard more nights, you know, in the long run, because, and this is the canopy, we're going to pause this one, okay, that'll be the next item that I got going on in the carousel, so anyway, that's a cool fireplace to have, and we get a lot of use out of it, and you know, the guests last, I think I went through two of them last year, in two months, okay, two months I had it, it was a really cool item to have, and we were able to barbecue toast marshmallows on it, and all that kind of happy stuff that you do around a regular fire, and like I said, the really good part about it is when it's time to go to bed, you just turn it off with the switch, and it goes off, you don't have to worry about the coals being hot, and you start in a forest fire, and all that craziness, it just goes off, so this was a great item to have, and you know, they have all different kinds, I wanted the blue one, you know, just because I like blue, as you could see, but I thought the blue one was cool, but it comes with all different stuff, all different kinds of rocks, and you could buy the rock, you could buy just the blue rocks, if you wanted to just get the blue fireplace, you can get those, just those, so the next item I have in the carousel is a canopy, this canopy is pretty cool, we're gonna share the screen and go right for it, this is me putting it together by myself, you're not supposed to put it together, it goes a lot easier with two people, but this is one of my longest videos, I'm gonna, this was like the part where I wish I would have had help, you know, putting that out, spreading everything out, you know, because when you pull one side, the whole thing moved, but if you had two people, this thing would go up together really, really quickly, I had to keep going from one side to the other to make it to pull it apart, but I was able to do it, and I got it up, and you know, it's high enough that, you know, a six-foot guy could be underneath it, you know, you don't have to duck to get under it, and this is not it fully extended, we're gonna extend the legs to get it up high enough, there you go, and again, with two people, it'd be a lot better now, and it's got the little velcro straps to hold it in place, yeah, pretty cool, pretty cool item to have in the backyard, you know, or you go camping, you go picnicking, you know, maybe you got an RV, and you need a shelter, you know, perfect, or you know, you go to sporting events, you want to put a shelter up because, you know, you want to get the kids out of the sun when it's half time, or in between innings, or whatever the sport is, you know, you want to, you know, in between meats or whatever, you want to get them under the, into the shade, you know, pretty cool item to have, I think everybody needs to have something like that, and you know, this one was good, because as you see, I was able to put it together myself in a pinch, you know, it recommends two people, but you were able to do it by yourself, pretty cool, pretty cool item. All right, so Holly Stone is another company that sent me stuff for free to review. Now, this is a drone that they sent me, now the drone, this was a starter drone that I said, you know, I'm not a good pilot, I'm going to crash the thing, I always crash the drones, but they said, no, this is, this is a user-friendly drone, and you're gonna, you're gonna be able to, you're gonna be able to do this. So I said, I'm gonna take it, I'm gonna take it right out of the box, I'm gonna put it on my table, and I'm gonna try and fly it. So this is me taking it out of the box, trying to pair it, let me mute the mute, because you don't need to hear that. And so you turn it on, now this, it folds, this thing folds up, and it fits inside that remote control, the remote control is actually the case that it fits in, this little drone, right, and you pair it to the remote control, you do it, the directions tell you with the remote, you pull them in to sink it, and you pull them out to start it, and then there's a one button takeoff, the thing took off, and what I really liked about this drone was that it had different speeds to it, had a slow speed on it, so there was no panic, there was no, it was going crazy, and then it's me flying it right out of the box, and I was able to control it, and get control of it, and learn how to do it backwards and forwards, spinning it around, I even bounced this off the wall, and it recovers, and is it right here, bouncing up, if I go further over, pretty cool drone, and this is in real time that the video, that's how slow it's flying, and it's flying the slow speed, I'm trying to find them right bump into the wall, right here, no, well it's in there some way, I'm not going to play the whole video, it's kind of long, but you know it says 14 and over, but I think somebody younger with dexterity could probably control this drone pretty easily, I was very happy with the drone, and it's on sales, under $30 this drone is under $30, where are you going to find a drone for under $30, pretty cool, nope that's not it going against the wall, sorry, it would have been nice if I would have found the spot, there goes, no, right here I think I touched the wall over here, right there, boom, and I just turned it around and recovered, just bounced off, didn't crash, didn't crash, didn't break, pretty cool little drone, right, um yeah, so that's the first drone they have, so then they sent me that one, so then they sent me the next one, the hollystone, the 175d, I think this one is the 175d, now this one has a camera to it, a little bit better, a little bit better drone, and I have a video of me first flying it, and we started looking at it before, so we'll just listen, it's not a long video, and it's not the greatest because at the time it was the end of the winter when I was filming this, and it was windy and gloomy, and this is the video from the drone, from the camera on the drone, going up, up, up, up, pretty cool, it says it's 4k, you know, I'm pretty happy with this drone, I can't wait to get this out on a nice day without wind in the sun, and take some quality photos with this, and get some a lot of fun, easy to fly, fast, real quick, and I have a lot of trees around my house, I don't want to take it to a field, and this one has an automatic takeoff, has an automatic home return, so you could send it out and not worry about losing it, there I go sending it out, and you hit the home button, and it'll come back to where it landed, and it was pretty close, it was pretty, it wasn't exactly on, it took off from the table, it landed next to the table, and that's it zipping, it was pretty quick, you see how quick that is, pretty quick, a lot of fun, very quick responding drone, and I'm still not too good on the stick, you know, on the remote control, I'm like moving it backwards and followers trying to get it, you know, steady, you know, I'm not really a good pilot, but I'm working on it, I'm going to get better, and I think I took some pictures later on in the video, there it is going up again, up a little higher above the tree line, and it's got an up and down on the camera, it's only got up and down, it doesn't have the gimbal, it doesn't go sideways, and pretty cool, right, and you can see this, I'm going to take a picture of the car, I think, right there, or maybe next time, I got to get rid of that dead tree, yeah, like I'm just like hovering in one spot over there, but this is where I take the picture, yep, so it takes a picture, and there it is, there's the picture, 4k picture, not a bad little drone, I'm just not a good pilot, and it is a little windy, it was, this is like the end of winter, actually this was like two weeks ago, and again, I'm not a good pilot, I'm trying to get the hang of this drone and trying to figure it out, and like I said, I really can't wait to take it out and get it into a field, nice area to where I can fly it without worrying about losing it in the trees and stuff, making a mistake, now I'm going to up the camera a little bit, and I'm going to take a picture of me, there you go, and that's the picture, it takes pictures, all right, pretty cool drone, actually I didn't have the drone highlighted, that's the Hollystone GPS drone right there, that's the drone in the carousel, and that'll be that with the drone, okay, because how much more do you need to see, I'm not a really good pilot, there wasn't a lot more nice scenery to be seen, but in the future I'm going to have a lot of fun with that drone, definitely, definitely a good drone, so everything in the carousel we went through, we talked about side hustles, we talked about making money when you sleep, we talked about cloning yourself, and we talked about Dead Wish Coffee, my favorite coffee, Dead Wish Coffee, I wish they were my sponsor, they're my dream brand to work with right now, we really wish that somebody from Dead Wish would get in touch with me, send me a free mug and tell me they want to sponsor my streams, because 15 K cups a day is putting me in the poor house, but no, I'm only kidding, but it's definitely delicious, it is a delicious strong coffee, so we got cloning ourselves, I said, so I'm going to lean forward into the mic, because this is the Q9 microphone, right, we were talking about the Q9, this is the tone of microphone they sent this to me for free to review, not the greatest microphone, so as you can see it's on the $50, it comes with the scissor arm, comes with the windscreen, the pop filter, USB microphone plug and play, simple enough, and it's good enough to get started if you want to start a podcast or a YouTube channel or voiceovers or something like that that you're doing, okay, very, very worth, I don't know, what do you think, when I get close to it, it's a lot better I'm sure than when I'm all the way back here, you know, it probably doesn't pick it up as great as good, but we were talking about cloning yourself and making money when you sleep, so every time you make a YouTube video about a subject and you put an affiliate link in the description, you have the potential to make money with that video in the future, that video can be played 24-7, 356 days a year, right, so you could be somewhere else, you could be at the beach, you could be sleeping, you could be at another job, you could be making more content, you could be on vacation, right, you could be anywhere and those videos that you've made on YouTube are being watched and people are clicking your links and you have the potential to make money in the future or stuff you did in the past, that's passive income, that's making money when you sleep and that's very attainable, so an Instagram channel, a YouTube channel, a TikTok channel in a niche in a subject, okay, you get a subject whether it's, like I said at the beginning, the Lego guy, the Lego guy makes the Legos in the video, he's making Legos and in the description he has a link to go buy the Lego that he's making, people click the link, they go buy the Lego, he makes a commission, right, and then again on top of that the YouTube videos, you're going to make ads sense, you're going to make money on the ads that are on your videos too, so that's two income streams you get from YouTube, from your YouTube channel, all right, is it worth it, you got to put time into it, it's not successful overnight, you know, like I said this before, you know, it takes a long time to be an overnight success, sometimes it takes years, it might take you five years, you know, it might take you two years, it might take you three years, it might take you one year, but it's not going to be overnight, and it's, and I said most people are going to quit in 90 days, people aren't going to stick to something for more than 90 days, they're not going to get the outcome that they want, and they're going to quit, and that's why people say things don't work because they quit before it happens, you know, right before the dream happens you're going to quit, and that's just the way it is, but making money when you sleep, so every time you make a YouTube video you've cloned yourself, you've made a clone of yourself that's out there working for you while you're doing something else, potentially, right, has the potential to make you money, so let's say you do two videos a week for a year, that's over a hundred videos, five years, okay, it's just compounds, it just gets more and more and more, it's definitely worth doing, you know, they say when I was a kid, they've said where did you want to be when you grew up, you said an astronaut, you said a fireman, you said a movie star, a baseball player, today they're saying content creator, today they're saying an influencer, that's what they want to be when they grow up, and it's attainable, anybody can do it, all you need is a cell phone to get started, I've been saying it all along, don't worry, don't wait to get started, don't wait to get started, get started with what you have, get started with your cell phone, right, go to youdidn'tknow.live, all right, go to youdidn'tknow.live, get the ebook, do I have what it takes to be an influencer, get the ebook,

has all the free videos on side hustles and way to make money online, and that's what I do on my YouTube channel, I explore different ways to make money online, side hustles, everybody needs a side hustle, one stream of income isn't enough today because you never know when it's going to stop, okay, the pandemic taught you anything, your income can change at any time, okay, the government can shut you down at any time, anytime they feel like it, it's pretty scary if you think about it, but it's a fact, so you know, I'm not saying quit your job, I'm not saying quit your job, I'm saying get yourself some security, get yourself some side income so as that, wouldn't it be great to have side income come in that started to pay your expenses, that were covering your expenses, see I consider myself a success when my passive income exceeds my expenses, then you're a success, then you're a successful entrepreneur, when your expenses are covered by your side hustle, okay, then you're a success, right, what do you think about that, what do you think about that, leave a comment in the comment section if you think that that's something that's doable, you know, you just keep starting them over and over again, build them up, it's crazy, YouTube channel, Instagram channel, TikTok, affiliate marketing, start a course, write books, okay, you can publish free e-books on and even hardcover and softcover books on Amazon, KDP, all right, you can do that for free, write a book, have it published for free and start earning money on Amazon for free, crazy, it's crazy, partner with Amazon, okay, I partner with Amazon, I believe Amazon is the best partner they have, they're the giant, right, so if you're going to partner with somebody, imagine this, you want to go into business, you don't have any money, right, but you want to go into business for yourself, you're going to partner with Amazon, you're going to partner with YouTube, Amazon's the largest retail, online retailer
