When YouTube is demonetizing their top-performing content creators like Joe Rogan, it should be unsurprising that they leave for better alternatives. The question I want to tackle is why YouTube has been allowing less and less content to exist on their platform. I theorize that it partly has to do with storage space costs and partly to do with them wanting to shift their business model to be in line as a competitor with major streaming services like Netflix or Amazon Prime. Regardless of the reason, this has been a complete flop. YouTube marketed itself, advertised itself, and built itself up off the backs of creators and being supportive of creators. If there were space issues, they could have limited uploads for channels with fewer followers or something and for the streaming service take, I think they would have pissed off way fewer people and made a ton of money if they just made a separate platform or product that you could still access with your YouTube/Gmail login. Either way, YouTube is losing creators and support left and right and they seemed doomed to fail at maintaining their status as the creator haven it once was. With so many innovative and successful alternatives, there’s no reason why anyone should stay. Check out the likes of LBRY, DTube, BitChute, 3Speak, Vibravid, Minds, BitTube, TokenTuber, and Cos.TV. There are many alternatives for people to take advantage of and I recommend diversifying as best as you can. I sure have. What platforms do you use for watching or uploading video content? Do you have a favorite? What blockchain solutions do you like the best? Let me know what you think about all this in the comments below and don’t forget to subscribe!

Time for another update on my investment portfolio and my passive income journey. In this episode, I cover my regular monthly update sharing what I invest in and why. This is amateur investing at its finest! ***Disclaimer: This is not financial advice and is purely for entertainment purposes. All my stock information is 100% accurate, but my crypto data may or may not be simulated*** I share everything so you can follow everything I’m doing with 100% transparency. The point of doing all this is to show you that it’s possible and provide some sort of framework that can be followed. This isn’t financial advice, and you shouldn’t exactly replicate my investing. What you should do is figure out what works best for you and stick to the basics of dollar-cost averaging, investing in good assets, avoid liabilities, compounding interest, be frugal, buy low, and sell high. I cover my rules for investing here: https://bit.ly/3qBgm4p Here is the breakdown for my investing and budgeting templates: https://bit.ly/3EIGFe6 Investing Spreadsheet Template Link: https://bit.ly/investingtemplate Income Tracking Spreadsheet Template Link: https://bit.ly/incometemplate Budgeting Spreadsheet Template Link: https://bit.ly/expensestemplate **Below I will list everything for the monthly report**: I cover the recent stock buys I went through, share my portfolio breakdown updates, and share my thoughts on the current market. I’m back into regularly investing while I focus on maxing out my TSFA. I am currently estimated on average to be making about $263.04 a month from passive income mostly from stock dividends, crypto income, and some from music royalties. This currently covers my portion of the utilities and internet as well as my phone and backup phone bills, rental insurance, and all my monthly subscriptions. My portfolio is roughly rounded to about 74% crypto, 16% stocks, less than 1% in precious metals, and 11% in liquid cash. My total annual projected income from passive sources is $3,156.45. $1,879.83 of those yearly profits are coming from stock dividends, about $1,198.42 are coming from cryptocurrency staking, I already earned about $16.38 from my RealT crypto tokenized real estate before I sold it, and $61.83 came from music royalties. My crypto income continues to climb exponentially from the continued topping up of my accounts and compounding the interest I’m earning. In my last update, my total portfolio value was $320,413 CAD. My current portfolio value with all my investments is $266,755. This is down about $53,658 from last month’s total value. My highest portfolio value ever was around $395,000 which is about 33% higher than where I’m at now. I earned $183.26 CAD from stock dividends, $0 CAD from crypto real estate, and $52.04 CAD from my last month of staking Hive, HBD, TRX, and MTR staking on Den.Social. In the January report I will be covering my ATOM. I’ve been testing earning Tron on Ledger Live, Staking ATOM on Crypto.com, and UST on Anchor Protocol. These were all flops. Ledger live has too many prompts, it’s great for security, but not ideal for regular use. Crypto.com isn’t really that ideal since 99% of it is lending and I figured I might as well stake everything in the same wallet: Trust Wallet. For UST on Anchor, the only reason they can offer 19% is because it’s lending and custodial. I’m not continuing with any of those. In total, I have earned about $556.23 CAD from crypto and $1,730.79 CAD from stock dividends. My portfolio in terms of stock sector breakdown is now 11% Utilities, 18% Insurance, 23% Banking, 18% Real Estate, 2% into an Investment Fund, and 28% into general ETFs. My main purchases were my usual Tangerine investment fund purchase, adding more to my real estate with more Northview stock, and buying more FCCD ETFs for general investing into high Canadian dividend stocks. My goal is to average about a 5% yield on my portfolio and I’m currently at an average yield of 4.85%. For my dividend stocks, I’m up 16.01 % on my $41,461 worth of dividend stocks. This is an increase of 7.5% from last month and will likely continue to increase as I continue to add to my TSFA. For crypto, my main breakdown between ETH & BTC is 58% ETH, and 42% BTC. This is allegedly valued at $167,208 CAD at the time of writing this. I’m now separating all of the different categories of crypto I invest in. I have a handful of XMR, RUNE, BNB, and MATIC as my speculative investments. I hold DASH, BCH, and LTC in case I need them for digital cash. Lastly, I also hold HBD, Hive, ATOM, TRX, BLURT, and MTR for staking. I still expect a big run-up to happen soon in 2022 with the update to Eth 2.0. Was this helpful for you? What stocks do you invest in? Do you prefer growth investing or building passive income? Do you invest in cryptocurrencies that payout regularly?

Hey everyone so I heard of this cool challenge in many variations such as #trashtag and #getthebag etc. Essentially it's encouraging people to go and clean up their community by filling up a bag of trash with garbage pollution outside. I decided to clean the area around my house. It's especially bad in places with snowy winters when the snow melts you see tons of waste tossed in the snow because you don't really notice it and can get away with it at the time. I live in a newer neighborhood with tons of construction and things going on, but when there are open garbage bags with waste spilling out and seagulls feeding off it at the kids' school bus stop, I think someone has to step up in the community since the city won't. I hope this was a cool way to vlog as I thought it was fun to film and very different from my usual stuff. Let me know what you think and if you are inspired to participate in this now too! ?

You want to take full advantage of the social platforms out there that use blockchain technology or have crypto monetization. Here are the 14 platforms I used to earn $622.16 CAD worth of fiat & crypto in January as well as some insights. This is my 509th episode/article. I put a great deal of work into this content so if you find it valuable, please do like, share, comment and subscribe! My total alleged crypto social media income earnings are now up to just over $37,593.42 CAD not including crypto appreciation after originally receiving the payouts. ### January Metrics & Content: To briefly go over my social media results for January, I received around 12,000 engagements, 33,700 video views, 2,800 comments, 2,500 followers, and 155,000 impressions. ### January Earnings: Publish0x – 9.5 AMPL - $1.20 CAD = $9.5 CAD + 0.06 FARM - $133.45 CAD = $8.58 earned from post rewards. That’s a total of $19.98 CAD. Brave Browser – 0.791 BAT – $1.55 CAD from ad rewards and 6.41 BAT from creator donations for a total of $10.44 CAD. LBRY/Odysee – 172 LBC - $0.0389 CAD = $6.69 CAD from user earnings, content earnings, invites, etc. Hive – 78.92 Hive - $1.22 CAD = $96.28 CAD and 89.67 HBD - $1.29 CAD = $115.67 CAD. That’s a total of $211.95 CAD from post rewards. LeoFinance – 75.97 LEO - $0.23 CAD = $17.47 CAD earned from post rewards. Cos.TV – 811.67 COS - $0.0228 CAD = $18.51 CAD earned from post rewards. Read.Cash & Noise.Cash – 0.37 BCH - $362 CAD = $132.13 CAD earned from post rewards. DTube – 50.92 DTC - $0.827 CAD = $42.12 CAD earned from post rewards. Bastyon – 0 PKOIN - $0.39 = $0 CAD earned from post rewards. YouTube - $50.41 CAD earned from monetization. Blurt – 1453 BLURT – $0.0435 = $63.25 CAD earned from post rewards. Loop – Loop earnings will be included in the next report. BitTube – 10.76 TUBE – $0.0041 = $0.04 CAD earned from post rewards. Yup – 85.90 YUP - $0.3847 = $33.05 CAD earned from post rewards. Torum – 16.69 XTM – $0.91 = $15.24 CAD earned from post rewards. The grand total came to $622.16 CAD which is about $485.28 USD. ### January Insights: My earnings have continued to go down with the market so I am still seeing a strong correlation between the overall sentiment in the market and how much I am earning. I am again attributing this to the willingness for people to invest and the demand for crypto and how much people are searching for content. My top consistent earners continue to be Read.Cash, Hive, and DTube. LBRY has completely fallen off now only earning about $7 in January. I am continuing to focus on funneling my earnings into Hive to grow them by holding HBD for 12% APY. I will be noting in every post going forward briefly how I do sponsors to keep everyone in the loop. If you’d like to see less sponsors, follow me on blockchain platforms and share this content so that I am able to earn more and have less need to use sponsors at all. I will continue to share these reports every month to give you a breakdown of what my earnings are to be completely transparent and give you an idea of what you could do if you shared on all of these social platforms too. What are your income goals? Are you using any of the platforms I shared above? Is this useful and or encouraging for you? Would you like to see these reports every single month to get a better insight into crypto social profitability?
