Starting work and Cracking 100 almost

By Shivan Sivakumaran • Issue #74 • View online

Kia ora e hoa,

I’ve had my first week of part-time work done and dusted. I thoroughly enjoyed it despite being extremely nervous.

I started taking YouTube more seriously back in October 2021. After almost 3 months, I’m on the verge of cracking 100 subscribers. What does that mean? It means a custom URL and not a random hash.

How long does it take to get monetised? That is going to take far longer. You need at least 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours. So far I have 75 hours of total watch time.

Thanks to those who have subscribed and supported me.

This weeks video is about remakes and rechecks. I don’t like rechecks because they make me feel incompetent as an optometrist.

Feel free to share this or any content with anyone who you would think will benefit. Thanks for reading and talk soon.

Ngā mihi nui, Shivan
