Good morning, everybody. Good to see you here. It is Wednesday morning, and I think we're what the 15th of September Yeah, that's what my screen says 15th of September This is day three of six days that I'm training you guys on how to start running and grow a Profitable yes profitable YouTube channel Do me a favor if you haven't subscribed, please subscribe hit that big red button down there turn it gray turn on All bell notifications so you're notified each and every time I go live I really appreciate your comments your suggestions your questions any Interaction that you can put in that chat box that helps this video tremendously So even if you just want to say good morning or hello or whatever you can put that in there I'm gonna go through a lot of steps today And it's gonna be a lot of information You know if you've got some paper off to the side if you like to take notes Maybe you want to put notes in your phone some along those lines My throat is not through yet. Sorry about that Please do so. I would love to see that This This thing called YouTube that we're talking about all this week is really pretty amazing And I want to wake people up so much to YouTube. I have a friend who worked for me Gosh, I want to say 11 or 12 years ago in a previous industry And I see him still in that industry and he is one of the lowest rungs of that industry right now And he was an upper management And I saw him post the other day and I said hey congratulations You know, I want to make you feel good about your new position and I I personally know that it's not a good position I personally know that he's not made enough money I personally know that he's got a lot of talent and skill and if he had a YouTube channel, he'd do really well And when I congratulated him, he says please tell me how to make money That was his reply and I said well, you know send me a message and I will but I mean I'm telling all of you guys right now who are listening to me YouTube YouTube will make you money guys and it's it's like I know at some point You're gonna have to pay to have a channel on YouTube right now. It's free. It doesn't cost you anything. It's absolutely free And since it is absolutely free that you can make these videos. I gotta ask people why wouldn't you do this? Why wouldn't you have a YouTube channel? Why wouldn't you take advantage of something that has never existed in our industry before it never has there's never been a spot where somebody Could take a camera and do a video of themselves and it go around the world to billions of people I mean think about this think about the power that you guys have, you know, if nothing else I want to convince you that you need a YouTube channel, you know So many people out there are gonna listen to this and do absolutely nothing I know that's gonna happen But some of you are gonna listen to me some of you are gonna actually start a YouTube channel and you're gonna see the benefits of it You know every day I collect money off YouTube every single day And it's like how many videos would you do if you were guaranteed that every video you did made a thousand dollars How many videos a day would you do right and you know, there are youtubers like that There are youtubers that every time they do a video they make at least $10,000 on that video or maybe 50,000 or a hundred thousand dollars Yeah, that actually happens people make that kind of money off a single video So the hump that you've got to get over is realizing in the beginning you're gonna make a video and make nothing But as you make these videos, they're gonna build up and as they build up You're gonna make more and more money Paul says he's taken some notes there I appreciate that and the rest of you guys that are on here, too You know put some comments in there say something I can promise you those of you who participate Those of you who are active instead of just sitting back and watching will absolutely be more Successful than those of you who are just watching trying to clear my screen here I got all kinds of stuff popping up and that's that's the way this stuff works, right? Okay, so we got all that cleared we got our network set up And then I want to jump into the actual content of what we're talking about today And I've been going through a lot of the steps if you haven't seen all the steps so far You'll want to go back to Monday. This is Wednesday and Monday. I try to explain to you why you know YouTube is so useful and then yesterday I got into a little bit more the need of it today I'm gonna get into a little bit more than me and step forward today really is Equipment what equipment do you need for a YouTube channel? You know once you have your content ready once you have your channel planned out It's really time to plan your equipment now. Let's see. It's a shame to see talent wasted Oh Paul they say that they say that the best books never written are in every cemetery in the world You know people have ideas their entire life about stuff They want to do and they never do anything they never do anything And it's just it's such a shame because we live such a short life And I know as I get older mine gets shorter, but I want to contribute I want to have something left where you know my relatives and my kids can say hey he did something he actually worked He actually did something This is people need to take massive amounts of inspired Prioritization action. Wow, that's a mouthful. Yes, they do they do need to do that So let's talk about equipment a lot of you may think well to have a successful YouTube channel I gotta have the best camera or I gotta have the best lighting I'm gonna have a best-looking desk or whatever it is. I can tell you I started my YouTube channel standing up With a green screen behind me And why do you have a green screen in the beginning and I you know when the green screen? I would put some type of fake background. I look really cheesy. Don't look at it Some of my first videos on this channel But that's how I started, you know, and I started with you know a cheap camera Now I have not really an expensive camera right now. I'm filming this on the Logitech Which is I don't know 79 89 bucks. It's not a lot of money I have a nice laptop, but any laptop will do And you don't have to go live like what I'm doing right now. You could just record videos and upload them It doesn't take a lot So that's all you really need is something to record with you need something to record audio That could be your phone if you're within two or three feet of your phone your phone is fine for audio Now if you get further away Then two or three feet phone microphones don't work that well because they pick up all the ambient sound around you So it's it's kind of muffled. It doesn't sound as good So maybe you want to have a little clip one mic with a wire going to your phone And you know, those are $29, you know, this is not a big investment that you got to put into this And then you're gonna have something to edit the video with most software Can be found for free. I know Apple has there. I think it's a iMovie on Apple and then it's movie maker. I think on Windows. It's absolutely free. Does it cost you anything? So all these things you already have at your fingertips and some of you are searching you're trying to find Well, I got to find the best equipment and the best lighting and the best place to record Just get started just get started. Okay. Now if you have a newer iPhone or if you have a newer smartphone all the things I mentioned are probably already in your phone There are apps that you can get for your phone that you could edit your videos on you don't even need You don't even need to have any of the other stuff.   Let's talk about camera first I like DSLR cameras to record my videos. I use one. I use a mirrorless one I didn't have a mirrorless one for years and then my wife bought one For her channel and we kind of share that camera and that's that's an expensive cameras like five six hundred bucks But it looks good, you know, if you if you're gonna use a DSLR camera, you probably gonna have some kind of microphone I use a Sinehauser wireless microphone You're gonna find links to all this in the description when this video is published You won't be there now because I'm live but when it's published, you'll find that there Let's see here Paul's got some comments my man Paul. He participates. He says I hate that every day I see people that look like zombies in the workplace because they take no action Man, is that true? You know, you go into any Coffee shop and Starbucks and you see people rushing in and rushing out and standing in line looking at their watch Because there's so limited on time Now I have a schedule and I like to stick to my schedule, but you know what if something interrupts it My world does not come to an end. I don't lose my job. None of that's the path But yesterday I had to go to the DMV in Texas and I don't want to get off off track a little bit But you know, my wife says hey you go in there You don't really need to point me you'll be in and out about 10 15 minutes and I had to wait 45 minutes But that didn't ruin my day It didn't and I saw people come in that waited for a while And they had to get up and leave because they didn't get back to work. It didn't ruin my day I just adjusted my day to fit that extension of time that I had to spend at the DMV and they're great here in Texas By the way, they're actually nice to you, which is crazy Like Churchill said never never never give up. That's right.   I make a ton of money You're not you're not it's gonna take a lot of videos. How many videos? I don't know I would say at least six months at two or three a week to really see any traction whatsoever and then to get Monetized where ads can pay you and as we're running your videos anyhow It used to be ads wouldn't run on there unless you allowed them now YouTube just puts them on there So you might as well get paid, but you're gonna need 4,000 hours of watch time in the previous 12 months Plus you'll need a thousand subscribers and it's hard to get to that point It really is hard to get there, but you will get there if you just continue making videos and then the last thing I'll tell you is lighting my lighting today is okay Right now outside it is really overcast. It's kind of windy It looks like it may rain outside But I've got a bunch of lights around me that are lighting me up So it makes it look kind of bright here in my office, which is nice and you can get those I mean they're not expensive you can get a bunch of lights for you know a couple hundred bucks If you want to do that you don't have to you could just stand in front of a well-lit window If you want to do that so Then you have to set up your YouTube account and set up your channel Okay, once you've planned and this is step number five by the way once you've planned a successful YouTube channel It's time to actually start your channel by creating a YouTube account Okay, now you are going to need a Gmail account to do this Everybody does need one of these so you got to make sure you get one. Let me get a sip here real quick Let's see here. What did Paul say do you use a plug-in microphone for your phone? I do not if I'm filming on my iPhone. I may use a selfie stick and that would be about it I know that the microphone on my iPhone is pretty good. I have an iPhone 11 I don't know what versions out now. I try to get them every couple years But my iPhone 11 does a pretty good job So I don't use a microphone if I'm gonna need a microphone It's because the camera is more than three feet away from me if it's more than three feet away from me I'm gonna need a microphone and I would say that's a good rule of thumb for any of you guys So as far as setting up your channel, you know, I have videos on my channel I don't want to get into the details of setting up your channel here because that's not what this training is about You know, that's technical stuff and we're not really doing technical stuff here So you do want to check out One of my videos will have to set up your channel pretty simple to do you're gonna need a Gmail account number six How to create videos on YouTube, okay? This is this is where we're kind of getting into the meat of this stuff right here last time DMV had a guy Had a pizza delivered while waiting Yeah, I guess you could do that. I wouldn't have been a bad idea I actually had Indian food yesterday amazing Tarka look up Tarka in Round Rock, Texas TARK a oh my gosh It's like it's almost like a fast food Indian joint, but it was really good So you've planned your research you've created your account you've done all that stuff now It's time to be seen and create great videos and I mean great videos Don't put junk out there. Don't do a video without any planning without any research without doing any setup I mean a lot of people go well I'm just gonna try to record my phone and see how it works out if it works out on my phone Then I'll start working harder on now work hard on it first try to make it look good first, okay? The last step to starting a successful YouTube channel is really creating editing and uploading videos And that's where the real work comes in guys. This is real work. Okay. This isn't this isn't some little hobby off to the side You know creators who are successful in YouTube put a lot of time and effort into it And you will need to do if you don't if you don't want to put in the effort If you don't want to put in the time don't start but realize you're missing out on a wave of money a Huge wave of money So I would say yeah, I would say you should do it when it comes to being on camera It can be a little scary at first putting yourself out there You know, what are you gonna look like? Are you somebody gonna make fun of you? They're gonna say something probably they will so what who cares I don't care because I appreciate every day I wake up, you know one of one of Just to motivate you a little bit one of my favorite comedians of all time was Norm McDonald I saw Norm McDonald along with gosh, I can't think of the name of the comedian my wife bought me tickets one year And he was amazing. He was an amazing guy and he passed away. I think yesterday or the day before And he'd been battling cancer for almost a decade. They said nine years and nobody knew his friends didn't know his family didn't know his audience didn't know nobody knew that he had cancer and He just kept going out there working every day guys if you don't have cancer You're not battling cancer today. You have a step up above everybody else But why are you not using your your God given time every day? I mean Norma Norma was actually my age He was a month younger than me And funny guy what a cool guy probably one of the best weekend update guys ever on SNL And he got fired because the executives there didn't like him on SNL They thought he was no good and I'm like my god. That's the best what you've ever had So opinions don't matter when you put your video out there You're going to have people who are going to have opinions about you.  There's always somebody that's going to like you no matter how You know bad or good you are you can gain an audience. Yes. So that tells you something right there Most people give up after 50 videos probably short of making it lightning Definitely has come down and price Oh, I'm sorry short of making it lighting Definitely has come down in price, especially led type. Yeah, and I've got I think these are the led type They got like hundreds of little dots on them. I guess that's what they are These are newer in e rr lights I think they're called And I do have a link for those in the description if you want to check out some of the lights I use Let me get another sip here and remember this And I want to give you a few steps a few steps that will help you the queen is within is here Great to have you here. The queen is within. Hey, you didn't friend me on facebook. I haven't found you Don't forget to friend me on facebook. I do want to see you Okay, so think about this when it comes to being more natural and camera Here's a few tips for you that may help you out. Okay, imagine that you're talking to a single person Right now. I'm talking to the queen is within Right now. I'm talking to paul right now. I'm talking to james. I'm talking to an individual person And that's how you got to do it You don't want to think of an audience as hundreds or thousands of people because quite honestly in the beginning You're not going to have hundreds or thousands of people But you want to think about one-on-one, you know, it makes it more comfortable if you're talking to somebody One-on-one and that's what I think, you know, I always think I'm talking to a person because I really essentially am You know all there may be more than one person out there, but I'm essentially talking to one person at a time. That's it Um, you also should have and I do this myself have like a bullet list of everything you want to talk about Get organized. Don't just turn on the camera and hope that great ideas will come to you Um, it might and some people might be able to do that. I think gary v is probably very good at doing that But you know, he spent years he said he said he made videos for two years before anybody even noticed him For two years he made videos How many of you guys are going to devote two years of your life and not really get much results back?  Thoughts on multi-part videos norm was the good. Yes, loved his material. Yes, I did too. Um repurpose my videos Yes, I do. Uh, I repurpose them sometimes. I'll put them on sales pages Sometimes I'll download them and make them into other training modules and edit them And yeah, you can do that and I have a lot of content because you got to figure it right now I'm going live six days a week. So I've got six times 30. That's 180 minutes worth of Time which is what three hours a week So I've got three hours a week of a video a lot of people don't put 10 minutes a week into it So I've got that plus every Two weeks. I'll record about 12 recorded videos. I had those edited and uploaded so monday wednesday and friday I have those videos that go up And yeah, those do get repurposed matter of fact I've got so much footage now of other stuff that I haven't put anywhere I have some training that I did for Vera heal And paul, you know the guy at Vera heal That was sam I did junkie. I can't remember his last name, but he was from africa and he had a really weird last name And actually he's he's from the u.s. But established from africa and I helped them out and they four times their sales After I helped them out. I think they went from like 100,000 to 400,000 a month And I trained their whole company Brought them into my office recorded all this video and that was four years ago Three years ago and I haven't used that video yet. So there's some great video there and I was training them like six seven hours a day So I've got probably 12 or 13 hours of training on how to do digital marketing Which I can use from that company, which is great The next thing I would tell you is practice The more you do it the more comfortable you're going to be the more you're going to be yourself The more you will lose your fake video voice And you want to lose your fake video voice as soon as you possibly can Everybody seems to develop that fake video voice where they're like, okay, I'm doing a video now and this is how I'm going to talk You'll lose that if you keep practicing and you want to lose that okay?  Like they're building more houses in our neighborhood now And I'm so excited watching them do it. I mean the the roofer guys are walking up down this roof with no ropes or anything Uh, and most of them are from Mexico and they're amazing You know, I'm I've always called him my wife. I'm like check this out. Look at this guy. Look. I always walk up down the roof Be excited. That's another thing.  It may be that way It's okay. You'll get through that pretty soon your personality will pop through um I have seen people put a picture of someone behind the camera for focus People put somebody behind the camera. Oh, we all you like have a like a picture of somebody there. Yeah, you could do that I know you guys. So I feel pretty good about talking to you guys and I know you Um, let's see Actually, I fritted you a while back. I didn't use the same username on facebook Tell me what your name is on facebook.

It will never be perfect There is no such thing as perfection. It doesn't exist You can try to do your best and you can always try to do better But you will never reach perfection and if you're using that as an excuse for not starting or not doing something You're just a procrastinator. Sorry. Just going to tell you the truth when I get to sit here How much is the event? It's absolutely free tyan. Uh, you can sign up Uh, and all these trainings are free from all these, uh speakers from around the world Like I say, it's based in ireland. I'm in the u.s. And I'm one of the speakers there It doesn't cost anything. Uh, my training is a 97 dollar training, but you get it absolutely free So it doesn't cost anything. Let me get my sip there. Um, next up editing now It's time to edit your video. You want to ensure that you are removing any parts of the video Where you're rambling? I'm saying a bunch of ums. Um, I say a lot. I say uh, and uh, and I say that a lot when I'm recording a video Now on a live when I can't do anything about it, obviously But when I'm doing a recorded video, I try to wipe out all the uh ands and the us And sometimes it's really close to my words Like I'll say, uh, and then we're gonna, you know, and then I've got to just find that little uh thing and clip it out But I do that a lot Uh, when it comes to the best video editors, um, you know, I I like camtasia more than anything else Let me put this in here camtasia Get camtasia for video editing Okay, no, it's not going to Let me speak that cam tasia by tech smith Okay So that is one of the best ones This doesn't mean you got to run out and buy it if you don't have the money Matter of fact, don't run out and buy it if you don't have the money use whatever editing software you have whether it's You know iMovie or whether it's um Movie maker, you know those come free uh with the softwares that you're going to be using Uh, but I like camtasia, uh, it's not cheap. I think it's like $299 something like that. Um, but I love it and it does a lot for me. I can I can work in it real easy I also have final cut pro, uh, and I would recommend that And I think that's like 299 dollars too, but keep in mind Don't use that as an excuse for not starting if you say to yourself Well, I don't have 299 dollars to buy video editing software. So I can't put up videos bs You can put up videos. You just won't use those softwares yet And once you do a whole bunch of videos you make some money then you can reinvest that's what I did I mean, I started my business with 100 bucks guys $100 and I really didn't even start with 100 dollars because I put it on a credit card Um, so that's what I started with it's 100 bucks. Okay, and then I just worked on it and worked on it and worked on it Um, and now when we sell stuff daily, I mean a bad day is $10,000. That's a bad day You know, I mean we have days we do $100,000 a bad day is 10 grand. Um to me that's Phenomenal now it's nothing to somebody who's making hundreds of millions of dollars I know I'm not at the top of the list of people top earners on the internet or anything like that. However I can tell you, um 10 grand a day to 100 grand a day is not bad. It's not a bad living You know, I live comfortably. I don't worry about bills. I don't have any credit card debt And I have any car payments or anything, you know, so it's nice to wake up every day and just go Nobody's going to be calling me to collect I did I did go to the dentist the other day and I I had to get a new dental policy So they sold me one because I got a crown and they said if you buy this policy Um, you're you're you're not going to have to pay but 1400 bucks if you don't buy this policy And it was like a hundred dollars. Um, you're gonna pay 2000 So I opted for the pay the hundred dollars and only pay 1400 bucks and then they sent me a bill the other day So I got a column But the point is I don't have to worry about it now somebody can send me a bill and I can go oh I can afford it. I can afford it. That's nice. I can afford to pay my taxes. That's nice Which plan by camtasia do you recommend? They only have one Camtasia only has one piece of software It's just called camtasia and it's I think the 2021 version now I think we have the 2020 version. I don't know if we have the 2021 But it's just it's one standalone piece of software You're going to download it on your computer and it's going to reside on your computer It's not a monthly plan or level or anything like that Um, somebody's yelling procrastination is the thief of success Absolutely, absolutely now once you've edited your video guys, it's time to publish it Recently youtube has changed the way you upload videos. They've changed the platform often. They're going to keep changing it so You can you can go into my channel and find Some of the explainers on that but you know, it changes so much It's hard for me to keep an update video on there But if you have any questions, you can send it to me in chat You can also email me if you want and once you've uploaded the video the final steps to optimize the video You can get more eyeballs on your content And I've got a checklist or my channel if you look for video uploads or youtube video uploads You'll find a video on that in a checklist the queens within I'm on the autism spectrum And i'm concerned about how I can relate to people How do you tell if people are understanding what you mean and not misread them As something else, how do you engage? Wow, that's a good question.  You got to do that. You got you got to tell me the queen is within I got to know who you are. I want to put a face To your name. So please put that in there Um procrastination perfection and excuses are fear disguise taking action Here's that oh, it does doesn't it? It's like, you know, when I go to the gym I don't feel like going to the gym, but once they start lifting weights I don't stop halfway through, you know, I go ahead and complete it because I'm already there I'm already in it getting into doing something will make you feel like doing something All right, it's the hardest part is just getting started. Um, but um the autism spectrum I will tell you I I call the autism spectrum the genius spectrum I call it the genius spectrum because what it is in my opinion And I have a nephew that is um, I guess he's autistic Um, but he's brilliant. Okay. He's really smart and his dad Who recently passed away who was my nephew? Um, uh He he I would think was on the spectrum. However, he was extremely accomplished. He was a singer He was a painter. Uh, he and his team developed the capital one app on your phone Um, uh, Robbie Dylan, uh, and you can you can look him up. He passed away at the age of 38 or 39 Uh, because he had a lot of a lot of issues going on but brilliant person And number one, I wouldn't worry if people connect with you or not because everybody's different You know, I don't I'm not I don't think I'm on the autism spectrum, but I could be I don't know Um, but some people connect with me and some people don't and that's okay I don't even worry about it and you shouldn't worry about it either. You should just do your thing Elon musk is on the spectrum. Uh, he says he has a form of autism And if you notice when he talks, he has a lot of quirks his hands move around his head moves around a lot It hasn't hurt him As a matter of fact, there's a little kid. He got beat up all the time one time so bad I think he was eight or nine years old at putting him in the hospital the other kids picked on him and beat him up Uh, but he hasn't done bad since then. Okay. Uh, he's one of the top, I guess smartest people in the world business mind helping the Group of people in the world just live better lives. Uh, he's amazing Tanya Nelson at queens within can you share your channel or site so we can see how it looks from an outsider perspective? That's a great idea Queen is within can you do that?

I wouldn't listen to anybody My opinion was the only one to count it.

Oh, hi! Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I forgot to text you. We don't have that many reservations tonight. Can we do it next week? Oh, great, you're here. So just a reminder, it is background music, so we want to make sure we keep the volume down. So, you know, if we could just... Great. Thanks. I'll back a little bit. Hi, so we've had a couple of complaints about the volume from a few tables. What kind of piano was that? What? Yeah, I thought about getting ignored, but I was just like, you know, man, they're super overrated. Can I sit in on the next tune? Hey, can you play Uptown Funk? You want Uptown Funk on solo piano? Yes. Can my son sit in on the next tune? Can my second cousin twice remove his best friend's uncle's stepnap you sit in on these three tunes three weeks from last Thursday? When? How do you do that? Like play the piano? Well, it takes a lot of years of practicing. But what should I do if I want to do that? Like, right now? Yes. Do you teach lessons? My best friend's nephew would definitely take lessons from you. Yeah, actually, no, I do. Please have them call me. Let me give you my card. Thanks. I'll call you. Okay, okay, great. All right, could you turn down a little more? Thanks. Okay, I'm sorry. Why even have live music? Oh, marketing. Yeah, see, we want to say we have live music because that'll entice people to come through the door, but we'd rather put you in a corner and have nobody be able to hear you because in reality, nobody actually wants to hear live music while they're trying to have a meal.


Back in 2012 when humid tropics, a CGIAR research program on integrated systems in the humid tropics started, the people and organizations behind it were thrilled. What could be more exciting than transforming the lives of the rural poor in the tropical areas of Africa, Asia and America and doing so with innovative activities and new technologies? But it soon became clear that while using new tools can be a lot of fun, it's not always easy to leave behind the traditional and adopt new technologies. So in 2014, they invited a team of experts to form the humid tropics capacity development unit and work on how to make the introduction to innovation and technology as smooth, easy and cost effective as possible across all action sites of the program. In the three years since then, the CAPDEV team coordinated and worked on different disruptive projects, everything from transitioning from the traditional onsite workshops to developing e-learning materials which are accessible both on and offline, adapting existing materials to the new blended learning approach and scaling them up, studying the latest tendencies in teaching and learning and applying them to the learning processes in humid tropics projects and developing a learning Android app to finding ways to connect all of the humid tropics facilitators and stakeholders so they can form a community to showcase their work or seek inspiration and advice from other community members. More than one barrier has been overcome. Connectivity, communication, location, background, technical skills, gender, these are no longer limits when it comes to learning, exchanging ideas and developing skill sets and a knowledge base anyone involved with agriculture in any way can put to great use on a daily basis. And the best part? Most if not all of the projects were set up in a way that they can go beyond humid tropics. Whatever the need, whatever the context, the tools, activities and materials the capacity development team has worked so hard on for the past three years can be customized and adapted to fit every situation.

I spent $1,000 on TCG player, let's see how it's going. What's up guys, we're back with another epic video and at the beginning of this year, I spent $1,000 on Yu-Gi-Oh cards on TCG player just to see like how our money would do by the end of the year. And we've done one update so far about five months in and now we're about eight months in, we're getting into September, so it's been eight full months. We're gonna see exactly how our money is doing. It's gonna be interesting to see because last time I think we made like 20 bucks total, you know, which after shipping and everything we probably actually lost a little bit of money. At the beginning of 2022, the card boom was still kind of in effect, but now we're kind of getting towards like a tanking period. You know, not necessarily saying cards are going to nothing or whatever, but the cards are much lower now. So let's see if that affected like the cards we spent or if we're actually doing okay. But first we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away a $50 TCG player gift card which usually ends up being me just PayPaling you 50 bucks because I don't even know how to get a gift card. So $50 giveaway basically. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed, turn on notifications and let me know what you think about this video. Let me know about the cards we bought. Should we have bought something else? What is a really good card we could have bought in January and we would have made a ton of money on? Like let me know in the comments what you think. All right, let's get into this. So the first thing we have, let's just go over what we got previously. The first card we got was a blue eyes wide dragon, ultimate rare. I think this was supposed to be near mint but we got it in light play. Is that what happened? I think I still should have marked this as near mint but it was actually light play. So the cost was $25.99 because it was supposed to be near mint. And then last time we checked it was only 11 bucks because it was actually lightly played. Same thing with the silent swords but it was supposed to be near mint. It wasn't that actually killed the value which if we'd gotten near mint cards I think we'd be doing a lot better right now. And that is something I wanted to like highlight in this sort of experiment because like when you buy cards a lot of the time they come in a different condition than you expect and you have to return them and I didn't, I probably should have for the sake of the video but I didn't. So we've got the astral Leviathan, lightning storm, starlight, solid morning, ulti, unlimited. That's like the one of the only unlimited. I guess we got the blue eyes as well. A dusted goal I thought was gonna do all, I think that card's doing terrible. We're gonna have to see. Stratos is probably one of our heroes right now. Literally, get it, Stratos, hero. Ah, ah, okay that was bad. Then we've got the flare metal dragon and the warriors triumph deck. So I still have all these cards obviously because it's for the experiment. So let's see what the update is. We're gonna go check the blue eyes, white dragon ultimate rare from the starter deck. We just graded a few of those. Maybe if we got some grade it would be interesting to see like if we graded one and it got a 10 that card's like $700. I could like make almost all our money back. So let's just see how they're doing on TCG player. All right, so we're gonna go for the blue eyes. The annoying thing about this is TCG player does this weird thing where they like have a designator as UTR as an ultimate rare. So like I kind of wanna just show you guys this just so you can see how annoying it is. Like let's say we just search like blue eyes. Like a normal person would do it. If you don't know this you're like, oh blue eyes, white dragon. Let's see what they got. Okay, first of all it saves on Pokemon for some reason. I don't know why. So we go to Yu-Gi-Oh.  Let's see ultimate, I can't, I can't type. Ultimate, I literally can't.  Okay, maybe they fixed that because it used to be where like, or at least some cases the rarity's not even there. So like you have to actually specifically type in UTR to fix it but maybe they fixed that. That's actually really cool. Okay, so first we're looking at first edition. We gotta look at lightly played because ours is lightly played. Oh, and we're going with verified. So we always go with verified because like, yeah some of these guys they're probably legit, you know 100% and stuff but it's just the best to go with the verified seller to you know, pretty sure that those guys are legit. These guys not having a lot of sales. Well actually 624 is not that bad. Could be like a scammer or something. So and sometimes they're stuff listed for like a dollar. So unlimited gaming has that at 798. So that's what we're gonna do. Okay, so we're back. Hey look, we still made four cents. So oh wait, whoops I wasn't supposed to update that one. All right, so as you can see we have a .005% change since we bought it. So that we kind of lost a little bit since last time when it was at 999. Wait, oh this is first edition.  Is the unlimited, well at least this one's near meant. So maybe, maybe a five box. Oh no, we're getting destroyed this time. All right, all right, we've already lost a ton of money so far. This is not looking good. Okay, let's hope the other stuff's better. All right, next up, what is it? Silent Swordsman level five. This is another one I think could have done really well. Okay, let's see it. Let's try this again and see if they've actually updated. Let's see if the ultimate rare is available. Okay, here's what I'm talking about. See there's no ultimate rare. Let's see if we can see and there's no option on the rarity. It should say I have an ultimate rare option but because we didn't type specifically the UTR or whatever, then it doesn't pop up, was that level three, whoops. And then this happens because there's 20 different Silent Swordsmans then there's the ultimate rares for multiple different ones. It's just very frustrating. I wish they would not do that with the designators. Just have them all in one spot and then you can filter to the right one that you want instead of having to do this. It's just kind of annoying. Like if you know it's there, it's actually pretty easy but if you don't know it's there like most people probably and me for a long time, it's just obnoxious. So we have Ulti first edition. Let's see what this thing's at. I kind of want to see what the Nirmit would be at but we'll start with the light plate 3340. So it's gone down a little bit even more. So 3340, not looking too good. Let's see what it would be if it was a Nirmit. I want to see what that would be. See, look, it'd be $124.95. So $124.95. I mean, we would be crushing it right now. We'd be up almost $40, which would be insane. So unfortunately that is not what's actually happening because we've got a light plate copy but still really nice. Yeah, okay, not looking so good so far guys. All right, next we've got the Leviathan. I paid $110 for this card. Oh, that's rough, man. That card's definitely not that high. Let's just see. Okay, Leviathan dragon, number 17. Come on, baby. I should have bought the Gosher. That would have been a lot cooler. Let's see Astral. Okay, we've got the specific designator again. Oh, okay, that's a light plate. Come on, 16. Oh, okay, that's Spanish, okay. 61.99, this thing's even lower than before. This card is doing so bad. So currently we have lost money on every single card. The change in percent, okay, I just fixed this. And now we are literally negative on all four so far. We've lost almost $50 on the Leviathan dragon. We've lost $53 on the silent source and mostly because it came in the wrong condition we'd actually would be plus on that, which is unfortunate. This is not looking good. Lightning Storm's up next. I don't think people are playing this right now so we probably are not looking too good. Our decisions so far have not been good in terms of value. So let's see what Lightning Storm can bring to us. Come on, first edition, you're mint. Oh, yes, we finally made some money. 364.90, let's go, there we go. All right, we are positive $66.49. I paid less than 300 for this. I felt good about this when we first did it just because it's a really good card and it's like, you know, it's a starlight. It's one out of 10 cases to pull, really difficult. Wait, actually at that point it might have been one out eight. I don't know if they had the throwback starlights yet. But that's still really nice. Okay, we made a little bit of money. So far we are still pretty negative. That's a 22% increase here though. I mean, we have a 61% decrease and a 69% there. So now looking too good. Those are lower value though. This is the highest value card we have. So like actually increasing there is really nice. Let's check out the solid warning. This is near-mint, ulti unlimited. If this was first edition, it'd be really nice but that would have cost too much. I really wanna do this again at some point. Probably next year we'll do it again. If you guys wanna see this again, let me know in the comments and we'll probably make it happen next year because I'm actually really enjoying these update videos, just seeing what happens, really fun. Let's go, near-mint unlimited. Okay, we might have lost a little, oh wait, six, seven, three, four plus seven, eight, shouldn't shipping? Okay, six, seven, three, four. So we are down a tiny bit. We're actually up though from five, 12, so or May 12th. So that's actually not too bad. I would say, yeah, it's hanging stable which is not bad for an unlimited card. I did buy this because like a solid morning, like can be used in older formats. It's also an ulti, it's really nice. The first edition was just way too expensive and I didn't have the budget for it, but so really cool. I'm next up, the Evil Hero Dusty Gold. I don't think this one's doing so hot but let's check it out. Evil Hero Dusty Gold, okay. Brothers of legend, let's see how you're doing. Okay, wait, am I gonna clear this maybe? Let's do near-mint, $4.50. We paid $13. This was a bad idea. This was a bad idea. I didn't really realize that this is a one-off in the deck. I thought it might've been a three-off and because it was so expensive, like 80 bucks, I was thinking, okay, this is a nicer looking like version. There's only two versions, but I should have known. It was a new card at the time. It had just come out like a month ago. Of course it's gonna go down. We can learn from this though. We can learn from this for potentially next year. Let's check the Stratos. I have high hopes for this one because Stratos did really well last time. If it can do well, maybe we can actually do something. Elmets or Stratos is not coming up with the UTR. So hopefully we can find it. There it is, okay, come on, come on, come on. Give us something good. Nearmen, okay, that's Portuguese, it's called German. That one's not verified. Verified German, verified French. Okay, 150, no, 150, all right. So we're up one cent. Literally up one cent. We paid 149.99 and it was 150. So if you include like tax and the stuff we're gonna need to destroy it right now. Okay, so that was one of our big ones last time. It was only $14 increase, but still it was pretty nice. Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon. Let's see what that thing's looking like. Ghost Shure First Edition. I actually think I need that for my binder. So I like, it was like a dual purpose for buying that. But yeah, it's a nice one. If you guys wanna see an update on my like, my Ghost Shure binder that I'm doing with the Ultimates and the Ghosts and the Secrets from like every set, let me know cause I've actually added a lot recently. So let's see how the Ghost Shure is doing. What was it, Nearmen First Edition actually? Okay, 139.97, okay. 139.97, no, last time it was 190. We made $1, everything's back to the exact same price. This is insane. Okay, all right, we're back down. Okay, we are definitely not doing so good this month. It is not looking good. All right, final item, Warrior's Triumph Structure Deck. Is there any chance this is actually like, I mean, is there a chance it went up? I highly doubt it. Let's see, Warrior's Triumph Structure Deck First Edition. It is exactly what we bought it at, $100. We made 26 cents. Okay, theoretically, let's say we had put in the Silent Swords, but we would actually probably be like dead even right now, which is surprising. Let's go look at the Blue Eyes. Let's see what the Blue Eyes Ulti is unlimited. All right, if we had actually gotten Nearmen First Edition, we would only be losing 10 bucks instead of the rest. And then the other one we would be making a lot more. So we'd have an extra, we'd probably exactly be right on the dot at $1,000. So still losing money after like shipping. And I think we had to pay like tax and everything like that. So we would definitely be getting killed right now. So next time, I don't know, we might need to switch up our strategy. I think I might have bought too many like new cards. Like I was hoping maybe like specific new cards would go up, but it didn't seem to work that well. Basically Lightning Storm is our hero here. We only made money technically over $1 once. So we made 26 cents, we made $1 one cent, we lost, lost $66, lost, lost, lost, lost. So everything else is under a dollar. So we did not do so hot on this update, but we're gonna check it again one more time at the end of the year and maybe do this again and see what's gonna happen. And then maybe we'll like, when we add 10 more next year, we'll update these as well, just to see how they do like year two. I think that'd be actually really cool. So let me know what you think about that in the comments. Make sure to enter the $50 giveaway so you guys can buy stuff on TCGPlayer as well. Maybe do this along with me.
