CJR Electrical - really poor workmanship video

Sort by date Sort by votes
Not sure if it could be considered a mitigating factor, or if it makes the situation worse, but a few of his comments lead me to believe that this was his own house.

At least he butchered his own wall and not some poor old paying customers....

there is or was a version of the MK master seal range that could be flushed in and rendered around but that Is for a new Wall being completely rendered

Just watched it again. It’s even worse second time round!!
Good job he knows his inches, bet his mrs loves his 16 inch pecker!
Twin and earth insulation not brought into the socket, not doubled over connectors, using bloody grip fill as fillar, using a RCD socket in his own house (Surely he’s atleast put a RCD bord in his own house)

Do they make any money on their posts.

Yes but in most cases it's peanuts, possibly appropriate in some cases.
Financial reward from Youtube is calculated on hits and overall popularity and number of adverts attracted to it, another one of these algorythms does it.

The greatest financial reward comes from sponsorship of the videos or promotion of products by the "Star" of the video.

Very few people (of the hundreds of millions that post) get rich or even make a living from Youtube.

There is money to be made though.

But you have to be big in something popular, that's going to continuously get hits, so something debunking flat earth/other rubbish; or some "influencer" being as vapid as possible.

Anything specialised like electrical, plumbing etc - just peanuts for monkeys

Fair play he held his hands up, but why put it on YouTube???
There is a saying “it’s best to keep your mouth shut and let everyone think you’re an idiot than open it and remove all doubt!”

Because regularly posting videos on YouTube is essential to being successful on, and making money from, YouTube.

Posting regularly, getting lots of comments, having lots of views and getting lots of subscribers shows that the YouTube channel is popular and active so will attract better sponsors, get more advertising revenue etc.

I appreciate that Dave, but what is the point in making a few quid from YouTube if you cannot get any work because everyone thinks you don’t know what you’re doing. You will hardly be able to retire on the proceeds especially if you have no new content to post.

Once you get to the 300K Range of subscribers That’s when you can take the YouTube game seriously. A bloke I watch has just ditched his full time job as at 358K subscribers he can make more money making videos. Also these people make money through live streams and Donations. Apparently said guy is making Twice his
Annual salary and was an “Electrical engineer” based in the UK.

YouTube is a fickle master, they have a habbit of just banning creators and your job/income and years of graft would be gone over night.

Did someone the other day ask how much you tubers could potentially earn....

uk.yahoo.com

Top 50 YouTubers earn an average of £172m a year, study finds

Salvadoran gamer Fernanfloo is the highest-earning YouTuber, raking in $205.8m (£158.6m) per year, according to a study.

Social blade is a website that gives estimations of earnings from social media, a lot of content creators make more from Patreon donations than YouTube adds. There is a Canadian engineer called AvE that makes about $40K/m from Patron alone.

You can see an estimation of CJR here

That's because the guy is a firkin genius and stupid like a fox!

He's the only YouTuber I actually contribute to on patreon.

I don’t know if he’s a genius but he’s entertaining and appears to be a fairly well versed mechanical/manufacturing engineer. I’d assume he’s a mechie that’s done a degree, certainly appears to have a fair bit of practical experience.

Always interesting to watch a guy with a passion for what he does. Not sure what he’ll do when Patreon implodes as it looks likely too soon after recent court rulings.

I get the impression his background is hydraulics.

I suspect he'll carry on making money however he can, the guy has skills so he'll always be able to make money.

Fairly sure his background wasn't in hydraulics as his knowledge of the subject is decent, but far from comprehensive. He has an impressively broad knowledge of most engineering fields and gives me the impression of having worked in many industries.

Yeah, my guess would be some sort of makers man for heave equipment with a mechanical bias. There is a fair bit of surface mining in that part of the world.

Some of the content on YouTube knocks the socks off broadcast TV.
