What's going on everyone your boy TheSimonShi is back with another video
in this video i will talk about how i lost 32,000
from solving a rubik's cube now before we get into that this is my
new place my new apartment and it's all set up so i'm all unpacked
but everything's still a little empty i did
solve my 17 by 17 rubik's cube all underwater
last week which took four hours other than that
i've been driving from virginia to california
and we've been road tripping i haven't touched
literally anything any cubes they are all
in this suitcase and bag so i think i'm gonna put a little
on the shelf right now all this untouched gotta bring out all the
essentials
here's an update on my 17 by 17 it is all disassembled and pretty much cleaned
or dried off so all the the rust dirtiness is out and over here
we have the you know the center caps screws
spring so that's an update on that we will see
on the magnetizing of this puzzle um i don't know when i'll put this back
together but it's gonna be another huge project i
don't know let me know in the comments what i
should do all right here's some of my main cubes on that shelf
there's no challenges this week but mainly an information guide for those
who wants to start making money on youtube creating different videos
exactly four years ago i solved this 13 by 13 rubik's cube
it's all wrapped up because the stickers are falling
apart one day i'll have to remove all the stickers and re-sticker it
and also clean the inside because it's very gooey four years ago i posted that
video and within six months it reached 100 000
views so of december 2016 100k
posted august 2016. after that it went exponential
and now it has more than 16 million views and at that time i had 200
subscribers so i didn't really know that you could make money off youtube but let
me take you onto my computer and show you what i missed out now we are here in
youtube studio if i go to videos tab the main number we
want to look at is cpm so on my recent video the 39 000 views
currently when we go to the analytics section we
can click on revenue we can see right now i am making 46.66
so far now if we can see here four dollars and 22 cents
is my playback based cpm what that means is every one thousand views i can earn
four dollars and 22 but some people have ad blockers turned
on and it's based on which area are people watching your videos from so
that's my cpm i average around three to four dollars
i also forgot to mention to be monetized on your youtube channel you need at
least 1 000 subscribers and 4 000 hours of watch time
on all your videos within the past year once you do that you can sign up for the
youtube partnership program and that'll get your videos monetized once
you do that then you'll have to make at least 100
until youtube or google pays you so they'll
send a direct deposit into your bank account
now in my 16 million views let's say i earned
an average of two dollars per 1000 views two dollar cpm that means i will earn
two thousand dollars for each one million views so two thousand
dollars for each 1 million views 60 million
2 000 times 16 that's 32 000 that i could have earned now why can't i
earn any money from that right now it's because i have a
copyright song in this now for those of you who really want to
start youtube are thinking about getting into the youtube space
solving rubik's cube or any hobby you like you want to make sure that you have
non-copyright song in your music because you'll never know when
a viral video will happen on your channel but at the end i also got some
licensing deals with the video so people use the video
instead of the music so just the video itself
and they can put their own music and some of you might know from my
second channel that i also swam at virginia tech so i had to go through
a process and sign some forms so i don't mention that i am
a student athlete i'm a collegiate level ncaa athlete
in the usa that's it that being said that i was a student athlete
a swimmer at virginia tech sergio lopez miro head coach of virginia tech
swimming and diving team has been a great influence in my life so
i want to help him out currently he has around 850 subscribers i want to give
him to the 1000 subscriber mark so he needs 150 more subscribers there's going

of that make sure you subscribe to him to help him out and comment your
favorite thing about swimming in his video and then come back to my
video and comment done but yesterday my Examinx video just been
copyrighted i know it's getting close to 200 000
views and after 100 000 views you cannot edit the sound anymore so if you do have
a copyright song and your video views is less than 100
000 views you can still mute the song or change
the song but after it hits 100k you can't edit it and you're stuck with
that forever and i also saw one of the comments by music by aiden dispute the
claim i'm getting it sorted so i have disputed it hopefully
it'll all resolve with that being said thank you
