Facebook Marketplace: Rent Out Washers and Dryers For 10K A Month?

Image
Facebook is not the platform I use much anymore as, to me and others, it became the domain of parents, grandparents and that one loopy aunt who sells crystals and frequently gives (unasked for) "political insights". BUT Zuckerberg's baby is a massive website with tons and tons of visitors despite my earlier comments. And I've noticed more and more videos and articles about this " Facebook Marketplace " and how it can develop from a short term "make money quick" thing to an actual business. There are a few other options from Facebook but this Marketplace thing seems like it could be developing some critical mass. First question: Who's making a lot of money with Facebook Marketplace? This one channel that I always seem to cross paths with is called the Koerner Office Podcast and the channel posts continuously, having uploaded 700-plus in one year with a bunch being snappy, viral YouTube Shorts. This video, posted August 3, 2025 by the good...

UsefulCharts: King Charles III And British Royal Succession (revised 2025)

Image
Well that's a long title. And speaking titles, who are the next Kings and Queens of Great Britain going to be? You hopefully know King Charles III is the current English monarch with his two sons, William and Harry named as his most likely successors, but who might be further down the line after them with potential claims on the crown? That's where videos like this from the Youtube channel UsefulCharts comes in handy. With the death of Queen Elizabeth II at Balmoral Castle September 8, 2022, her son, Charles succeeded her with his official coronation May 6, 2023, which bumped many up the list. But who's next? Let's take a look. The video is helpful figuring the convoluted cousins, in-laws, aunts and uncles parts which can be confusing it folks who might be unfamilar and it is narrated by Matt Baker (that's actually DOCTOR Matt Baker), the main dude behind UsefulCharts, which Matt have grown to almost 2 million subscribers (1.98 million as of today) with over 2...

Shaytards... ASSEMBLE!

Image
Time for a quick recap on all things SHAYTARDS (that's a link to their main YouTube channel so you can subscribe and stuff). I've covered the shenanigans of the various members of the Butler clan since 2010 or so, with the arrival of kiddos, some controversy but all in all, fun times. Their latest video called "Can you hear what they said at the end?" is below, with the lovely Colette (aka Mommytard) gracing the thumbnail. After that there's videos highlighting the return of eldest son Gavin (who I still call Sontard) returning home after a couple of years abroad doing missionary work, and Princesstard, Shay and Colette's oldest daughter (Avia in real life), who struck out on her own last year but rejoins the family as they all celebrate Babytard (Emmi)'s 18th birthday. ( When did THAT happen? ) Babytard is frozen in my mind as a toddler, okay? Yeah, time passes fast, lol. But you're here to watch the latest Shaytards video, not listen to me blath...

Pacifica Band From Argentina Caught My Ear

Image
There's always that one YT Shorts video that catches your attention while you are scrolling and that you end up watching over and over again. For me its indy music, or just the music people create that feels fresh to the ear. Sounds kinda "vibe-ish" but I guess I enjoy being surprised by how much I like something. And this little band from Argentina sounds like it has something to say. The band is called Pacifica and it's two main group members are Ines and Martina. Ines plays lead guitar and Martina does the bass notes. That's Martina playing an bouncy intro run on the bass before launching into the lyrics (while giving meaningful eye contact) "Premature rejection I'm just trouble in your head. It's just infatuation or your favorite mistake." She continues with the camara flipping between Ines playing accents on her guitar and the drummer who was doing the heavy lifting with the bass to create the bouncy push for the song. I've heard ...

Mike Waters: How to Grow an Audience if You Have Zero Subscribers

Image
The video starts with this guy, Mike Waters talking about how he'd just started this YT channel a couple of months back and how he's surprised to have reached 6,700 subscribers. A month after this video was uploaded, he now has 11.5K ubs, so he might know what he's talking about. Starting a YouTube channel and growing an audience from nothing. Ziltch. Well, he's grown his own subscriber base fairly quickly maybe he has some pointers you cqould use to increase the views on your own videos. "Grow an audience", as I heard someone say once. It turns out that Mike has had several YouTube channels in the past and this one is more of a personal challenge to help people, "to serve, on the highest possible level" his audience as he tries to make this into a business. He started by relating he had been reading subscriber comments when one struck him as important because the person had become a bit bored with his content and when Mark prompted him with t...

DIDDY Verdict: Reaction From Twitch Streamers Hasanabi, Charlie and Asmongold

Image
In case you haven't heard, Puff Daddy, Sean Combs or just call him Diddy, was just found guilty of 2 felony counts of the five he had been charged with. He was found guilty of "transportation to engage in prostitution" but was found not guilty on the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He's still in lockup in NY pending sentencing. Reaction to the news of the verdict pinged it's online way to the ears (and eyes) of these three Twitch streamers who all have something to say about the Diddy verdict. They all have sizeable Twitch audiences (and their names are linked to their Twitch home page). First will be Hasanabi (2.9M subs on Twitch), then Charlie aka moistcr1tikal (5.7M subs on Twitch) aka penguinz0 (17M subs on YouTube). And then, batting third, will be Asmongold on his second channel, Zackrawrr (Where he has 2.1M subs). His main Twitch channel says he has 3.9M subs but Asmondgold says, "Last Live 2 Years Ago". This is a vi...
