- ITS A YEAR LATER SINCE I STARTED THE BLOG
A few people have asked how they can support the madness that happens here. Producing videos is a labour of love and a net loss for me, but if you enjoy what I create and would like to support my work, you can do so through Buy Me a Coffee
While I'm not starving, your support encourages me to keep at it and continue producing the content and honestly it will mostly get spent on postage.

Keep doing what you're doing. You provide honest opinion and when you are wrong you even correct yourself. Sadly the world isn't like that and would rather take the few extra pennies to sell thier souls.
Congrulations on great content.Happy new year to you from New Zealand.
Happy new year! I am guessing you had yours allready
Decent video, 90k turn over not bad I myself been self employed 16 month now. I just contract with other firms mostly but wanting to be more on my own doing my own jobs etc. I find training is an issue where I go no one wants you to learn.. I've done the metering din rails a few years ago didn't realise there was a lot in that to be honest. I finish end of January but hopefully dropping on to renewables or something as a ltd company. Happy new year pal
Straight forward and to the point mate. How it should be! Looking forward to seeing where you take things in 2025. Also Happy New Year!
When you going back on the podcast?
Not any time soon and only as a guest
Fair enough!
Yeah, definitely a lot of ups and downs when going self-employed that you have to get used to, on top of having to do business stuff now and finding your own work. I looked at units around my way, just so I could get some more space and separate work and home life some more, but they are quite expensive and tied into long-term lease out my way, unless I go further afield.
You made some good turnover for your first year 👍👍
You can often get little offices on lower terms so it’s worth keeping an eye out and asking , turnover is all vanity but it’s nice to have some work
I bet you haven't taken into account the amount of time it takes to sign in and out of these distribution centres. Ive worked in loads over the years!
Why do you think it’s all being Mande and tested before hand
Yeah mate, makes total sense!
I was at a food distribution centre today, and I had to wait 1 hour for the sites engineering team to sign off my work.
@sunshine3187 I'm guessing joining queue for a permit to work at Greencore. Been there done that one.
Best electrical content bar none. Would you become an agent for someone? Mate of mine was electrical maintenance in a big company and got pain in the arse with it. He started up on his own doing jobs here and there in industry but found it hard like you said. Some weeks mad busy, some weeks scratching. He's signed up with a metal detector company and an in line checkweigher company. He's guaranteed at least 4 days a week and subs work out to his mate when he's busy.
I’ll do any work that’s honest for anyone
thanks for the videos. so have you lost the sponsorship then? that's a bummer.
Ovs I gave no sponsorship as I am not on the pod but I’ll still be showing off some of the CA kit in my videos as I still have a very good relationship with them
@@Actual_electrical_content fair enough. i kinda hoped/thought that you would return to pod but now it's clear it's not. oh well. at least you can continue to afford the office space - you cram lots in that space it would be a mare to downsize.
It’s rammed but it’s smaller than it looks on camara
£90,000 turnover?
Some people make that by getting 18 people on a 'how to get 1000 subscribers' course *cough* *cough*.
Pull your finger out mate 😂
Nice to hear the blogs are going to continue 👍Happy new year to you! 🎉
I can’t sell the snake oil
You want a small tripod for your new camera?? I’ve got one I’ve used once I can send you, I’m feed up falling over the cunting thing
I’ll allways take a donation mate , and if I don’t use it I’ll shift it to somebody’s that can but I am allways short of tripods
Keep telling it like it is in 2025! 👌
Been doing that since 1982
Shame you couldn't get away with the shelly 3 EM.
It’s a good little meter but is really a toy for homes
Slow your talking down a bit. I can't understand everything you say. Wouldn't fucking mind but I'm also a sparky and from Nottingham! 🤣
Sorry duck , put the subtitles on
