1 December - Nett Balance: R500

On this 1st day of the Silly Season, I'm expecting a R5k balance payment for the emergency University SRC Elections website I did, as one of the online income channels listed in my Hackpacker Lifestyle M.O. mindmap. So, that's part of the Web Hosting Business's associated products & services, while the other short-to-medium term Online Income streams identified to be worked on are:

• Sports Betting Arbitrage, and
• AI Development & Training

We then have the mid-to-longer-term Online Income Stream to work on, which is getting my YouTube channel monetized. I won't get into detail about BucketUnlist & GWAPSA, because those are lifelong joint ventures you can get in on as well, and check out for yourself.

Otherwise, this is indeed the planned Modus Operandi for December, starting today...

We're sitting on 682 subscribers to my Banelihackpacker Youtube channel, so 318 away from getting AdSense monetized. The main theme of the long-form videos, under the "Videos" tab, is travel videos in which the Make Money Online & Travel content is more of a lived experience, as opposed to an explicitly discussed or narrated one.

Now, in lieu of having the money to resume the international hackpacking exploits, we're going to be living out the hackpacker lifestlyle by documenting local field-trips, which will hopefully continue to add subscriber numbers to help reach the 1k-subscribers monetization threshold.

Under the Personal Development module, is working on my immediate health & fitness goals, a specific one of which is to build bigger arms that balance out the thrown-off appearance of my post-op gut. I'll also be easing into eating healthier, something which is natuarally quite the challenge for someone in the financial and living-arrangements situation I'm in. I've also listed "Learning Brazilian Portuguese" as part of the Personal Development resolutions, simply because I have plans to head back to Brazil, after having visited for the 2016 Olympics, but this time to stay there as my Digital Nomad base, like I did in Phuket, for at least an entire year.

So all of this is going to be journalled as part of the content with which to get YouTube monetized, with the more formal presentations going under the "Live" videos tab, while as mentioned, the main "Videos" tab will be reserved for the more immersive MMO & Travel content.

As far as it goes with my immediate M.O -- I was interrupted with some AWESOME news of my bro CAN's baby boy being born, today!!

So, as far as it goes with my immediate M.O., for today and tomorrow, I'll be working to complete the Sulcatas Leather e-commerce website, which is the second one I'm doing for what was my very first client post my 2023 five-month hospital stay. I did the Phrenology Tech site for him back then, followed by a shuttle service one for which he was the middleman. He's incidentally the middleman for the University SRC elections project I was roped in to complete, overnight, as the original web developer had apparently absconded...

So yeah, I'll be working on HIS own premium leather goods e-commerce site, which is a hand-coded, ground-up rebuild of what was an existing WordPress site.

It's now 9:53 and I've had my bath, but I've not yet had breakfast and I decided I'll start tomorrow with the recommencement of my workout regime. Otherwise I'll need to withdraw the R500 I have in my Supersportbet account in order to access the money, to be partially used with the hope that those SRC-elections-website clients will follow-through on their promise to pay today.
