I dont want to reveal too much, but I recently spent pretty much all of the earnings thus far (as little as they are) and some out-of-pocket cash on some extra giveaways that I am going to do during an upcoming break. I am going to announce it in the auction listing, so be prepared for something "Great". I will reveal more once I have the item(s) in my possession as they are being shipped to me now from Canada.
My philosophy is that I want break even. I know sometimes it seems like we are making money hand over fist, but thats not the case. The 643 team believes in bonuses so much that it hurts. Sometimes people dont factor in the hidden costs of what we do. The cards, packaging and shipping are the tangible items, but please dont forget about the time that we put into it! When an auction ends, I am always watching and as soon as all teams end, I am filling out the team sheet as well as starting to hunt for bonuses to give away to the 5+ team buyers.
After that, it takes about 2 hours for arm and hand makeup and vocal warm-ups. At this point I am almost ready, but I then find that I need to calm my nerves with a quick shot of Jim Beam and a Cuban Cigar. Once that is done, I have to take a 30 minute steam, shower off all of the makeup, and I am relaxed and ready to go. I have my hair fixed after it falls flat in the shower, and comb my beard. After about 20 push-ups, I'm psyched up enough to rip open the cards.
Ok, that last paragraph is completely made up, but it does take time to make the final product. I like to post-produce my videos to give them a polished look. It takes more time, but its way worth it when the breaks are published out on youtube for millions of eyes. It almost gives a degree of free advertising to the causal onlooker. It also lets me join two videos into one, if they are short enough. This way you can watch it all without having to click more links!
As usual, if anyone has any suggestions to how I do my breaks, please feel free to email me @ StackThePads40@gmail.com. I am open to suggestions on how to make things better for you!
