I do my best to by using an app to track and schedule all my spending. If you mean entirely separate, then no. I keep all my money on one bank account. I do want to look into having a second bank though. I have read that having one you put a bit of money into each month and just don't touch for emergency funds is a good idea. I do have my savings but this would be a bit different.

I was trying this out after hearing about it from a friend and I really like it. So much so I mentioned it at work and we are very likely going to integrate it into our support system and use it moving forward. It will save the company a lot of money!

I would not worry too much about this. Usually when you put links to socials on other sites, you do so with clickable links anyways. Once people follow the account, it won't make much of a difference if the names match or not. Just make sure the title name matches and the bio-info is the same.

I would, yes. I have a fairly large account on there that accounts for almost 15% of my monthly traffic. So if you can boost your traffic by that much, it is worth it. Heck I would say it is worth it if you can just boost it 5%!

If you want to boost your viewership on X, you need to be active DAILY. I can tell you from experience, you want to aim for 3 to 5 posts and 5 to 10 replies daily. Also liking stuff helps too. You can make use of the bookmark feature but I don't know if that impacts anything or not.

It is crazy how many companies have adapted using these systems so quickly. I am glad though cause it is better than using them instead of people. I would personally use ChatGPT over Claude though.

From my understanding, Basic lacks team collaboration, GitHub integration, and advanced branching. It is for people doing solo projects so this is what you would be after.

A big one is more personalized wellness overall. So think things like testing DNA, microbiome testing, and functional nutrition. Basically, individualized planning for the best health possible.

Printful is for sure higher quality. I did a few print test runs to compare them. I was shocked I got both shipped out to me so quickly. I just wanted to add this to the thread for anyone wondering. You do get what you pay for!

This does work well for Minecraft but most other games are not quite like this one. There are a ton of topics and avenues to take with it.

That is a bit of an issue if the video is tied to current events or media. I wonder why it does this. I just assumed all shorts get boosted cause they want people using the platform.

Content creation usually means you are the product. So what you create is what people are enjoying. A fan base for such a thing takes time and sales come after the fact. Don't even think about sales if you are just starting out.

For gaming, I don't know if it matters in the long run but it seems like people that focus on a specific game, console, or genre have better growth. I know there are people even to this day that exclusively do Minecraft content and even though the game is 16 years old, their videos still perform great.

I was going to mention this. A lot of what they offer can now be managed by AI for free. I am sure there are still some useful things under the platform or else they would have gone out of business but I personally wouldn't bother with it.

I think so. I find myself being annoyed by them. A lot of people also know how to use ad blockers as well, at least on PC. I know mobile takes a bit more tinkering to block them and not everyone knows how to do that.
