I've got a video of my then-2-year-old hilariously REPEATEDLY mispronouncing "pump" (as in, what we needed to find to inflate a flat football) as a very naughty word that begins with c. I've always wondered if I could make any money from it

Get it up there and see! Make sure to put a nice clickbaity title and share the heck out of it on social media

Don't you have to have a lot of views for existing videos before you start getting paid? Or sign up to something before you upload it? Or does something automatically kick in if you get over X amount of views? I have no idea what I'm doing!

Im not so sure these days how it works for new signups. When i started you had to be invited to have adverts on your videos, but I think you can from the start now. Its all done through google adsense. Look for "Monetisation" in the video settings.

Ive been a naughty boy this week. Spent £300 on a new graphics card and 2 new games for my pc (Fallout 4 and Star Wars Battlefront). In my defence, MissWillow is going on a 8 day business trip so i will be oh so lonely

. The card should last a good 4-5 years though I recon and should get some good views on an install video i have made. Its an investment! :rotfl:

I was thinking of getting a 980 but went for a 970 in the end to save a few quid. Anythings an improvement from my 460! What games do you play?

Thats a good point about the videos! They will render quicker! Excellent!

They will render much quicker :]

There isn't a huge amount of difference from the 970 to 980 anless your are hardcore which im not both im still running an old monitor tho running 1050 so the card has a easy life currently haha can tun 4k easy

Games mainly car game f1 as i used to be in a league so race once a week in the winter months dont play on pc much really anymore i will be once i sort a 4k monitor out but house has been first on the list this year just on the ps4 few hours a week far cry crime wave fifa few other car ones

4k monitor! i will be super jealous. Im using one that my dad stole from his work for me. Randomly its 16 x 10 aspect so i play things in 1200p!

I had a look on ebay and a 460 should fetch about 20 squid. Not bad for a 4 year old card.

The 460 is about half the size of the 970. I had to remove one of the (luckily unused) hard drive racks to fit it!

Luckyinlife · 18 November 2015 at 1:01PM

Oh thats good :]

Thing is with 4k for me i wouldn't be getting the full potential out of it right now so no point in wasting my money on one

Ya the 460 is small but £20 is £20 thats half a game haha or few off the mortgage :]

Youll love the 970 tho even when i hook my tower upto to my Sony bravia tv the quality is amazing

Hi all, I haven't checked in in a while. I'm away with work at the moment so it means we are saving on the fuel it takes me to commute to work which is saving about 5 hrs worth of driving fuel. Also our grocery bill was lower last week as it just catered for my husband. I have been tempted by some of the Black Friday sales but i'm going to resist and keep this a no spend week:) i'm very excited about xmas this year and all our xmas shopping has been spread over the last couple of months to ease with the cost of it all. It is quite good as we shouldn't have any big bills in December and should be about to do our savings target for the month. In 5 weeks its a new year and we will be able to make our 10% overpayment for no penalty which i'm super excited about. Really looking forward to getting that much closer to mortgage freedom.
