Earnings Potential vs What I Do Now

Image
  Deducting personal expense and all that, let's just say this comes to about $30 per hour. On a good day, I can make this much doing runs on the app. It's not just the hourly rate that I am considering. I also look at the opportunity that you won't find sitting in an office taking customer calls. When doing runs, I can shoot video. I can go fishing when I find a good spot. I can take time off whenever I need to. I get to meet and talk to people. You won't find this with office work like the one above. On average, I make about $10 to $15 per hour. It isn't much. This is enough to cover my rent and food. I don't have much left after that. What helps though is what I make on my channel. It's about $200 per month and growing. This is the long-term cash flow that I am cultivating. Growing the channel is my main job and business.  When I'm not getting enough runs on the app, I shoot video. When I find a good spot, scene or situation while doing runs, I shoot ...

Fishing-Mode is On

Image
  I got my fishing license last night -- I'm good to go. We have tennis this morning, that means I'll do my runs from 4:30pm till I hit my target $100. After that, I'll go to my fishing spot and see how it works out. I also ordered some bait, hooks and accessories off aliexpress. It's $9 total. The similar item I had on my amazon shopping cart was about $29. That's huge savings for me. The only trade-off is that the package arrives two weeks from today.  I will have to make do with what I have atm, take it as far as it will go, do my best, learn with the experience. I checked out the fishing going on in docklands yesterday. There were these two guys with plenty baits with them. I saw a pack of chicken from woolies. One of the guys said it was his first time fishing. He did seem not to know what he was doing. The other man was talking to two other guys on that same dock. They seem to be catching fish and maybe asked for some pointers. I'm not sure how this will t...

Fishing Equipment Ordered Today

Image
  I ordered me some fishing gear today. It's not top of the line. It's mostly what's within budget and recommended by the algorithm. These arrive tomorrow.  I may need a fishing license. I'll get those next week. I can do one hour of fishing after my ubereats runs. That would be around 8pm. I'd get home late, maybe before midnight. I'm ok with that. With such a schedule, I can do ubereats during the afternoons, then head straight to fishing.  I have two power banks on me. I think these are enough to recharge the action cam and the mobile phones. What about dinner? i can skip dinner if I have enough water. I'd break fast the next day. If tennis in the morning, I'd most likely break fast the next day. Interesting times ahead. I'd give it a year to get more resources, but at least I've taken steps given the instruction manual. And I am having positive reflection on this.  Let's see how it goes.

Long-Term Direction for the Channel

Image
  17 March 2026, Tuesday - it's weird that there are no promotions this week. i think there was a promotion last week, but I'm not that sure -- so I'm going to journal about this.  In the past, the old-me would think that this is bad. Did i do something wrong? Am i being singled-out? That's a negative response to the situation. Perhaps the algorithm sees that this particular week of the month would not need as much riders out on the road. I did go out this afternoon at around 4pm. I was able to do a single run, which gave me AU$5.00. I guess the algorithim knows. On a typical day with promotion, the orders would come one after the other. Starting next week, i'm going to use mondays and tuesdays as "bike-to-eat" days. I'd take my bike some place that's outside of my comfort zone and have something to eat...or have coffee.  This way, i'd have different content to shoot, and that it's going to be relevant to the vlog. It gets old if it's a...
