4) Lighting : It is better if you have good arrangement of lighting for your videos.
5) Decent Backdrop : If you are filming a vlog or pieces to camera you must have to set up good backdrop.

How Youtube Pay Money to Partners :

The basics of this are companies who pay Google to advertise on your videos and you will get a cut of the profit.

Note :

1) You need to associate an approved AdSense account with your YouTube account. You can create a new AdSense account or associate an existing one.
2) If you want to monetize multiple YouTube channels, you do not need to have new AdSense account. You can monetize more than one YouTube channel with the same AdSense account.
3) Even if your video is not good at first, keep at it. Practice makes perfect. Try to make each video better than the last.
4) There is no universal model for what works and what does not work on YouTube.
5) To gain access to Youtube Partner programs, you need to have 15,000 cumulative watch hours for your channel over the last 90 days.
6) YouTube does not pay out based on the number of views you get, you will make money when people watch ads on your channel.
7) On average, you will make little per view, just a fraction of a penny.
8) Uploading and monetizing your videos is completely free. YouTube will take a cut of your ad earnings as compensation.
9) You do not make money based on the amount of views you have. You make money based on people’s engagement with the ad.
10) Do not expand too far, you want dedicated viewers and they would not come if you do not make videos that are within their interests.
11) Number of views is general indicator of revenue.
12) The use of ad blockers has caused billions of dollars in lost revenue for Youtube creators as it skips showing ads on Youtube videos.

Promote Your Video : Share your video on social networks, Blogs, Forums, Message Boards and anywhere else you can online. You can embed your video on other sites or link to the video so viewers can watch it on YouTube.

First of all, YouTube does not really pay for views or subscribers, instead it pays for the advertisements which appear on your videos. Also, not every time you play a video has an advertisement. It depends if any advertiser is bidding at that time.

Once you finish recording, you can edit your video with a desktop program like Windows Movie Maker or iMovie or a paid program like Adobe Premiere for better features.

Your AdSense earnings are determined by the number of views the video receives which advertisers show up on your video and how many times the ads are clicked. High engagement and clicks are more important than total views but the more views you receive, the higher likelihood of clicks.

Our Review :

1) This is a good option for filmmakers and video creators to generate income from their videos. At present, YouTube is having 1 billion users presence and 300 hours of videos, upload to YouTube on every hour.
2) YouTube is not a good option for full-time money making but great place to share knowledge and earn some passive income.

Consideration :

1) You can start earning money quickly if you have a strong subscriber base.
2) Depending on what you are planning on filming you will need to get your setup sorted from the beginning.
3) Youtube could help you earn more than you would from traditional blogging.
4) As you edit your video, be sure do not use copyrighted music.
5) YouTube Advertising is managed in the Adwords platform. Advertisers choose ads on a Cost per Click (CPC) or Cost per View (CPV) model.
6) If your video gets ten million views but nobody watches or click the ads, you will not make any money.
7) Partnerships with YouTube for most people do not earn very much. Unless you have a large success, you should take Youtube as part time income source, not primary source.
8) If you are not fully into this YouTube, then it is hardly worth the effort i.e. more input less output.
9) In starting, you have to put a lot of resources like time for research, money for equipment etc but you would not get anything in return for couple of months.
10) Background noise in videos can irritate some of your viewers so you should keep that low.
11) Make sure to use a soundproof environment and try to minimize echo if and when you can.
12) There are more than 20,000 partners worldwide with Youtube and its number increasing daily.

To make money from YouTube, as affiliate marketer, you can review your affiliate products on video or create “how to use this product” tutorials. Do not forget to link to your products in your YouTube descriptions otherwise you would not get credit for sales.

YouTube pays you through Google AdSense.

Always Consideration :

1) Just to be clear, you can not monetise any videos with copyrighted material in them.
2) Remember that some people may leave mean comments to bring you down. Do not let them discourage you.
3) If you get famous on Youtube, you can approach companies to talk about advertising or at the very least free sample for you to review/talk about.

Our Advice : Always make sure to follow the rules of Youtube, no inappropriate content, copyright or spamming.

Reliance Jio 4G WiFi Router (JioFi2): Unboxing and Real Speed Test with ...

2016-11-22T22:46:00.001-08:00

After application submission call 18008901977 from registered mobile, number to activate device. Install JioJoin application in your mobile and call 1977 to activate mobile services such as Voice calls, Video calls, SMS, MMS etc.

How to make Voice Call on Reliance JioFi2

How can we use voice calling in this Reliance MiFi device? Whenever you connect your mobile via wifi and download app called JioJoin (only android for now) from play store it would automatically detect your Sim Card No in MiFi device and you can make calls on that app on your android mobile or tablet connected to MiFi WiFi network. So that app would be phone dialer for sim card No in MiFi device. All calls made via app would show Caller ID as that on MiFi Sim Card while all incoming calls to that MiFi Sim Card would ring the app on phone.

How to connect Reliance Jio network to Desktop Computer

Most laptop have WiFi inbuilt to connect to Jio WiFi but not desktop. To connect to desktop, your phone need something like USB WiFi Adapter if it is already not wifi enabled.

Our Review :

1) In small cities and sub-urban, Reliance Jio disappointed lot as it hardly touched 3 Mbps speeds that only sometimes in mid night when very few subscribers were on their network.
2) We found that Jio speed at daytime goes upto 2 Mbps and upto 3 Mbps at night after 11 Pm.
3) We believe there is lot of scope for improvement and Reliance Jio needs to do its home work well before launching it commercially.
4) If you leave the hotspot in one side of the house, you would not pick up the signal at the opposite side.

Note :

1) The speed of JioFi depends solely on your location. So if you live close to a Jio Tower, you will be getting good speeds.
2) You just need to charge the router and then you can use even without electricity.
3) It can connect to desktop Computer via USB cable and acts as a router.

Consideration :

1) It cannot be compared to other normal WiFi routers as it is a portable device with a built in antenna. There is no way to extend the WiFI range other than using after market WiFI extenders.
2) Reliance Jio 4G is under Beta Release as of now and hence the speed fluctuates from location to location.
3) Due to non-commercial release, Reliance Jio does not have the proper channel quota for placing the calls to other operators. Due to this reason the call-drops are very often.

Lot of people in small town are getting only 2.5 mbps downloading speed on Reliance Jio 4G networks slower than BSNL broadband before commercial launch.

Reliance Jiofi2 is best wifi internet option still even under welcome offer. As no provider gives 120GB per month free for 3 months in Rs 1999 which includes Jiofi 2 device. One can later unlock these jiofi mifi devices to use it as 4G modem whenever solution comes out.

Difference between Cable and DSL Internet

2016-01-29T07:12:00.003-08:00

Question : What is the difference between Cable and DSL Internet?

DSL sends data faster than it receives data and is not easily accessible in rural areas. Both cable and DSL offer packages that vary in price depending on connection speeds. Basic DSL plans feature speeds that start at 1 kilobyte per second and increase up to 3 megabits per second. Cable plans generally start with speeds of 1.5 megabits per second and increase up to 5.0 megabits per second.

Another major difference between cable and DSL is price. As cable Internet service is faster than DSL and as a result is three to four times more expensive. Cable Internet is generally bundled with telephone and cable TV service.

One advantage of DSL plans is that it allows users to access a steady Internet connection. Unlike cable, the DSL connection speed remains the same regardless of the number of users accessing the service. Bandwidth availability is affected while using cable Internet service when there are a large number of users accessing the Internet. This results in slow service and transfer speeds.

What is difference between DSL and ADSL?

2016-01-29T06:33:00.000-08:00

Question Asked : What is difference between DSL and ADSL? What type of connection is commonly used in India? (Question asked on my Youtube Page)

Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a type of digital subscriber line (DSL) technology, a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines than a conventional voiceband modem can provide. ADSL differs from symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL).

ADSL works by utilizing frequencies that are not used by a voice telephone call. A splitter or DSL filter allows a single telephone connection to be used for both ADSL service and voice calls at the same time. ADSL can generally only be distributed over short distances from the telephone exchange typically less than 4 kilometres, but has been known to exceed 8 kilometres if the originally laid wire gauge allows for further distribution.

At the telephone exchange the line generally terminates at a digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM) where another frequency splitter separates the voice band signal for conventional phone network. Data carried by the ADSL are typically routed over telephone company's data network and eventually reach a conventional Internet Protocol network.

Thus the upload signal is weakest at the noisiest part of the local loop, while the download signal is strongest at the noisiest part of the local loop.

ADSL is a type of DSL where the upstream and downstream speeds differ (hence the "asymmetric" part). There are many variations of DSL technology for different types of application (HDSL, SDSL, etc).

ADSL

ADSL is a broadband connection technology which utilizes existing copper wired telephone networks. ADSL uses a wide range of frequencies over an existing telephone line to deliver much higher speeds than standard 56k modem (between 10 and 140 times faster). It is also possible to use your phone while online.

DSL

DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. Generally if you have a DSL connection, you are getting it right from the phone company. DSL is more like the older 'modems' in that they do use the standard copper phone lines that are in your house. DSL requires that there be a special switch installed at your local phone company's main routing station. DSL also has a limitation of a 4 mile radius. One of the cool features of DSL is that you do not need to have a 'special' line installed - you can be surfing the internet and talking to someone on the phone all on the same line. This is because DSL uses a high frequency that does not affect the normal use of your phone.

There are two commonly type of DSL, DSL (also known as SDSL) and ADSL. DSL or SDSL is the more expensive, but offers the most bandwidth. The S in SDSL stands for Symmetric or synchronous, which means that the bandwidth of both upstream (sending data) and downstream (receiving data) are the same speed. The actual speed you get depending upon the package you sign up for, and how far away from the switch you are. The most common speeds are 256k (256kilobits)/second and 1Mb (1megabit)/second. ADSL (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) is the same as SDSL, but the upstream bandwidth is smaller than the downstream. This version of DSL is generally more affordable than SDSL. Common ADSL speeds are 256kb downstream - 96kb upstream, 1mb downstream - 256kb upstream.

DSL was developed and patented in 1988 by Bell Communications Research, Inc. The main advantages of DSL at the time were the speed it offered and the fact that, for the first time, it allowed people to use Internet and phone service at the same time. The main disadvantage was that the digital signal's strength decreased as distance from the provider's central office increased.

Although it uses the same wiring as previous technologies, DSL sends information digitally. This greatly increases the amount of information that can be sent at once. ADSL is the most common type of DSL connection.

Note :

The opposite of ADSL is SDSL, which stands for symmetrical digital subscriber line.
SDSL provides a high-speed data connection that gives equal priority to upload and download speed.
Other types of DSL include Internet protocol subscriber line, rate-adaptive digital subscriber line, Uni-DSL and Etherloop.

There are many reasons for not booting of your computer. It can be due to following common reasons.

1) RAM : RAM is not properly installed on your computer’s motherboard. And it make beep sound twice from motherboard’s speaker.

2) Processor : The processor is not properly installed on motherboard.

3) Harddisk Connection : The hard disk with operating system is not properly connected to motherboard, or hard disk does not get enough power from power source of computer i.e. SMPS. (This is most reason when your computer do not boot on starting.)

4) Operating System : The operating system of computer (example Microsoft Window or Mac etc) is corrupted or need to reinstall or repair by operating system’s DVD.

5) BIOS Setting : Lastly, your booting option is selected incorrect in BIOS of your motherboard of computer. That means, in BIOS, computer is having option to boot from other source of booting rather than of hard disk, example like DVD ROM or floppy or USP device etc.

Our Experience : The main reason of computer is not booting due to RAM error or Hard disk connection.

If your computer is showing BIOS menu on your LED screen, that mean, it’s processor or RAM is well connected on motherboard.

If it show Boot Error on your LED’s screen, it means, it is not connected your Hard disk or not allowed to access your hard disk in motherboard’s BIOS.

Only computer expert can guess actual reason for error in your computer for not booting up.

Can I install windows 8 or 10 in old model computer

2015-11-30T11:54:00.000-08:00

Question : Can I install windows 8 or windows 10 in my old model computer or laptop?

Solution : May be but it depend on your computer or laptop configuration. If you have purchased latest computer with high speed processor having high capacity hard disk and RAM (3 Gb DDR2) at that time, then you can install window 8 or window 10. If you have dual core processor with high RAM (3 Gb DDR2) and hard disk space (20 Gb), then you can install Window 8 or 10.

But they can be little slow as latest processor are now having more cache or core. And now speed of RAM also improved (Like 1600Mz for DDR3 as compare to 800Mz for DDR2 in older computer).

But you can improve your operation speed by upgrading your processor with latest motherboard or RAM.

Note : You can issues to arrange driver of old motherboard for windows 8 or 10 as they are not easily available after few years for new operating systems.

Easy Steps for Installing DDR2 RAM (Hindi) (1020p HD)

2014-02-06T00:45:00.000-08:00

RAM is sensitive to static charges and should be handled carefully. Never touch the metal conductors and only handle RAM by their edges.

Depending on its architecture, there will always be at least one notch in a RAM, but never more than two.

RAM modules are keyed with little notches that fit over corresponding tabs in the RAM slots. Before inserting the RAM module, make sure that the notches and tabs are correctly lined up.

Installing RAM is easy to do and probably the easiest task in building a computer.

There will be one or two indentations on your RAM (depending on type of RAM). These indentations need to face the notches on the RAM slots. Now take the RAM carefully and push them into RAM slot, the little RAM clicks should snap into place.

If the BIOS screen comes up on your monitor and there is not a series of beepings then your RAM is successfully installed. To check if all your RAM is recognized by your computer, then you need to go to the BIOS setup, which will display the amount of RAM that is recognized.

This video can be useful for a new user who wants to change their DDR2 RAM in their Pentium computers. Same steps are applicable for installing other type of RAM (DDR1 or DDR3) in their respective Motherboards. (Voice : Hindi)
