It’s the Solstice! Happy Spring!Nice day out aaaaaand… first sunburn already? WHY?Walked home from the university recording yet another walk n talk / lookaround vlog.Watched El Estepario Siberiano’s video about how much he makes through his CHANNELS! Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. He makes more of his money from MERCH sales through his channel.Instagram? Nothing. (He uses copyrighted work.)TikTok? Nothing. (He lives in Spain so can’t monetize.YouTube? 2300 EUR per month or about 30,000 EUR per year. Not bad, but FAR below what his “Revenue per RPM” is.Dinner takeout,串儿, but still in Changping… why waste the evening in a car ride?Got the workout in. (Mostly unweighted. Tried with a 5 kg dumbbell but that didn’t work.)100 pull ups200 push ups300 squats30 sec on the eliptical in between sets20 kg plate per hand farmers’ carries after 65 pull ups (felt I had to up my game a little and use what was around me.)6.57 km run in 53.14 = only TWICE around the block!
