So I hope you don't mind me asking, but like so how much do you make with CS Studio now?

So it's kind of tricky because it goes up and down a little bit.

But I would say the average for the past few months has been about 10,000 U.

S.

Dollars per month.

Yeah, Before we continue this video, I just want to say that this video is sponsored by Go Doc.

Oh, now dot co domains are dope.

They're pretty much the hottest domains.

Like, for example, vine dot co Now, if you watch my startup Siri's, you would know that I have a startup called Not fine.

So I actually wanted to get not vine dot cope because I really wanted to mimic fine dot Co.

Unfortunately, when I checked the Web site, it wasn't available.

Someone took it before me.

I wondered if they watch my Siri's, but basically they took it before me and, uh, unfortunately can't get that.

But I was able to get re vine Doc.

Oh, by the way, re vine is basically my nemesis startup, which is exactly the same as not mine.

I haven't fully decided what to do with it yet, but I'm pretty sure that's gonna be something video related either.

I could just have it as an alias for kinda like my portfolio for all my videos.

Or I can have, like a user submitted video platform that I could make.

We'll see.

We'll see anyways.

Back to go, Doc.

Oh, so go.

Darko is a place to find Darko domains.

And like I said, Doc, oh is pretty dope.

Darko is basically like dot io, but way cooler like dot io Just so old fashioned it sze not cool anymore.

Nobody uses that anymore.

It's all about Dot Co now all the hottest star of zoos, Doc.

Oh, for example.

Like I said, find out cold and there's other ones like Angel Doc.

Oh, we dot co bird doc Oh, the's air all like super dope cos they have over 2.2 million domains registered worldwide.

It's short, so you can easily detect it on your phone.

It's memorable, so if you have a startup, it's a very unique name for your brand, which is very useful for a start up.

So if you want to register a dot Kodo me go to go, Doc.

Oh, and register your domain now and then also build something with it.

I can't wait to see what you guys build.

All right?

So welcome.

I usually don't, like, talk to the camera anymore.

Dr you.

Yeah, pretty much same question.

Yeah.

So anyways, um, yeah.

So you want Just give a little introduction toe like my viewers itself.

Like that?

Like for some of your name channel itself.

I guess I'm talking to the camera.

If you Yeah, whatever s O, as you know, my name is why Kay?

Uh, I be running.

You know, my YouTube channel called CSL Joe.

It's a programming discussion YouTube channel that I've been running for the past three years.

Now, the first year I did it part time, you know, while I was working at Google as a soft of over and then the past two years have being full time.

You know, a lot of people ask me like, Can I make a living out of it on?

The answer is yes, I can.

And that's what I've been doing cool.

So, yeah.

I mean, honestly, I'm, like, super impressed that, you know, you were able to like you quit your job at Google and then start like, new tube, like, pretty much full time now, Um, yes.

I was wondering, like is like, I've seen the video of why you quit Google.

But do you want just, like, talk about it again in the house?

There may be more questions about Yeah.

So why did you quick google and start to right full time?

Yeah, full time.

S O.

You know, this is something I already talked about on this channel, like you mentioned, but I sort of thought about it again for this particular interview.

Here is the way I think about it, you know, there there are sort of two parts to it.

The first part was that, you know, I wanted to, like, spend more time on you to get better, you know, making videos and basically helped more people.

And then the second part was that I was, like, pretty happy at Google.

But I felt like I could be, like, happier doing something else.

So maybe like I can go into either of them maybe you want me to.

Both of them?

Yeah, sure s o the YouTube part.

Uh, you know, this one?

I think there are, like, two ways of thinking about it.

Uh, on both the liver Chewed.

The 1st 1 is that, you know, I had about 7000 subscribers.

Maybe like, um, you know, about 100,000 total views at the point.

Like right before I left Google.

Wow.

OK, Yeah.

So it's like it's like it's not like a lot of use, but it's, you know, it's some traction.

That's pretty gutsy, because, like, yeah, I wouldn't like I would be too afraid to do it even now from my channel, right?

Yeah, I like.

I was pretty afraid, but I feel like sort of did it on.

But, you know, I had, like, a few courses going on on.

I was making, I don't know, like, 304 $100 for those courses.

Like a month.

Yeah, basically nothing from YouTube.

So what?

My original idea was Okay.

If I can make it like 10 more courses like that, I'll make like, 3 to 4 k a month, and that's gonna be enough for, like, rent and food and everything else.

So that's sort of the financial plan I had on at the same time.

I, you know, I thought that I would be able to help a lot more people through my YouTube channel them through my job.

So that's sort of one way of looking at it, Thea Other way of looking at it, which is also true, is that I saw this business opportunity and I didn't want to miss it, right.

That makes sense.

Yeah.

Okay, so I hope you don't mind me asking for like, so how much do you make with CS Tojo now?

So it's kind of tricky because it goes up and down a bit, But I would say the average for the past few months has been about 10,000 U.

S.

Dollars per month.

Nice.

Yeah, and then the breakdown was like, 40%.

Yeah.

Okay, that's the same break.

Now, that's pretty cool.

Nice.

Do you want to make more or like, are you okay with that?

I'm happy with it, You know, like I said earlier, I want to be able to stabilize my come a little bit more, but I don't see any reason to, like, make more?

Because, like, I can do everything on my own.

Like anything shooting anything cool.

Awesome.

Yeah, but like, it's crazy how you validated this business opportunity just with, like, your YouTube channel.

Because a lot of times when you hear about start ups, they always talk about okay, you build a nd p.

Yeah.

Validate your idea, and then you go all in.

So can you kind of say that your YouTube channel, when it was only 7000 subscribers that was already on M V P?

Yeah, that that was that was one of the Emmys I had.

Okay.

Were you ever scared that, like, Oh, maybe it won't growing.

And I was, like, top.

Yeah, I was like, I was actually super scared on to likes maybe, like, six months in.

So, like, I left school two years going, April May, something that, uh And then I think if I remember correctly in August or September with the same year, like six months after I quit my job, I was making, like, $1000 a month, and I was like, I like I was spending a lot more than I beg Yeah, but like, I just, you know, just like going what was like the biggest pulling factor was that that Oh, there's like a big business opportunity.

Yeah, or was it like, Oh, I really want to help people, but like I would say, equally equally important for the business opportunity.

Like, were you more motivated by, like, how much money potentially can you get?

So So not not, like, not the amount of money.

OK, I would say it's more about the sort of this stability that comes from being a business owner, because when you're on employees, no matter how good the company is, there's always a risk over either being laid off or fired on.

Like I don't see Google doing that anytime soon.

But it's possible, like in 10 20 years.

So I thought, like by having a business, you know, my financial situation will be like a stable in the long term.

Basically, that's very funny, because, like most people, when they don't want to go, you know, starting with business or start your own startup is because they have more financial stability right in a company.

I'm very surprised that you're actually thinking like that is it.

Yeah, it's It's a funny way of thinking about it.

Uh, but the way I think about it, isyou know, in the short term, it's obviously more state.

What, do you have a job in the long term?

I mean, my visits is still pretty unstable, but if I have, like, two or three businesses, I don't have to, like, rely on, you know why don't you?

God.

Yeah.

So?

So, like when I made those videos back then I was definitely making a lot of West money.

I would say I don't remember exactly, but I think it was, like 23 k a month ago.

But now it's like comparable to what I used to make it used to make.

Okay, Yeah.

So you can tell me more about, like, the old the reverend, like all the sources of being sure that you get which was the biggest if ever You guys want to do it?

Yeah.

Try, You know, Are they at least know how goes?

Yeah, of course.

S o.

I guess the first thing I would say about that is that it's really tough, you know, doing doing business with you.

Choose for me at the breakdown, I think is about, like, I would say, 40 to 45% YouTube ad revenue 40 to 50.

40 to 45.

Someone something.

Yeah.

This is not the exact number, but that's sort of the rough number.

And then the rest is my courses, you know, really?

A marketing ex paan, sir.

Ships?

I did a little bit, but, you know, it's not.

It's not known.

Going payment.

Okay, sponsorship.

Meaning, like a flat rate, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

That's pretty funny, because, like, for me, um, ad revenue is very little.

I think it's probably, like, maybe 20%.

Okay.

Yeah.

And then everything else is just a flat race Sponsorships, right.

I just started doing the affiliate link recently.

Yeah, with Al Gore.

Expert die and actually used the other one, too.

That you use, which is daily coding problem.

Yeah.

Use my promo code if you want to be.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And so far, it seems like that's okay too, but yeah, like for me?

I just do like a lot of flat rate sponsorships, and yet those ones are pretty good.

So far, they are.

You thinking that you might expand in terms of monetization.

How?

Yeah.

So for monetization, I'm happy where I am.

Because I'm at a point where I can basically afford my rent and food and everything else.

That's basically all I need, but, you know, content wise.

Yeah, I'm still thinking about it.

I was thinking maybe, like, more interview kind of videos are podcasts or maybe going into machine Learning's.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I remember you making available quantum computers?

Yeah.

Are you interested in, like, the most in awful attack and stuff like that?

No, no, no, no, not necessarily.
