I love you ELI!!!!!!!!!!!!Because of you I got a job as a System Administrator without any certifications. I just watched your videos about Windows Server. Thank you!!!
Long time subscriber and I really enjoy taking a few minutes everyday to check out your updates. Recently I set up my own web design limited company here in Ireland after years of doing it as a hobby. At the moment it is still a hobby as I currently have a 9-5 business as an I.T specialist. The topics and points you bring up in this discussion are extremely relevant including the need to experiment and identify a need for a service ( affordable web design that is of a high quality and at a price point small business can afford) and the buzz around setting up a new startup. I congratulate you on this. Keep it up Eli.
Apologies: I currently have a 9-5 job as an I.T specialist not a business. I also plan on developing my startup into a full time profession if it is sustainable in the future.Very enjoyable and brings me a great buzz knowing that I am providing a mutually beneficial service and actively developing a high quality product from scratch.
Jamie Comerford Great to hear man. Based in Cork myself and in the same boat. Eli, is just on the money every time with this. He's unrelenting in honesty, and well the advice he gives is from hard earned experience.
True that. The biggest thing I can say though is he has the experience. Just go back to Eli's earliest videos and you can see how much the channel and the videos have transitioned. Also, when you look at a lot of videos in the same category (I'm including SEO help videos) he just trumps a lot out there. And the best yet is it's free, no shows and no ebook scam or anything. Having worked in web development and video design, ideas are progressively enhanced. We have to push through and develop as we go along. The idea of taking your work as a hobby first is great. I did the same myself, took away a lot of pressure and it gave a lot of experience. If it wasn't for doing it that way, I'd be behind a till in some shop somewhere. But the big thing, like you say, is his honesty. There's no bull just get the job done. If it didn't work then reassess and change. Again, progressive enhancement.
+Dark W. Start in a computer store, even if you can't get into the tech bay straight up. You'll get lots of hands on fixing computers until you know them inside out. Then you can move on to servers, etc. in a few years but I'm with you, I'm a hardware guy. Learn about virtualization though and start getting familiar with Linux, as much as you'll hate it at first.
Good advice, thanks again. I am going thru this now and agree with you. It does take the pressure off and let you see if its a passing fad or something that brings you happiness.. Personally Im good at being the professor but need to do more daily grind. The nature shots are so nice.. great way to cap off video... I liked the sound as much as the video
hey Eli ....have you noticed that a video of IT gets abut 7k views in 2 days....rather then the videos of travel or other things...i think that the "tech type" videos are the gold for you ;)
Dude you have a beautiful mind, love your content. Why you haven't you got into the software startup world? with all the connection that you have in the it world I bet that there are a lot problems out there that you can solve with software.
Good one! I learnded a lut fron yuu! I talked to a few small town insurance agents about the computer seminar thing. Most said no insurance was needed, there's nothing to insure, just twenty people or so meeting in a conference room. One agent mentioned "Event insurance, " which is about $500.00 for the day. One told me to just buy a regular small business insurance (even though I was just working from the house and then giving seminars at hotel conference rooms) and that would cover any events/seminars that I do as "trade shows." She said that is what she does for her insurance business.
Hey Eli, my name is Adam, and I'm no pro at computers, but I do know a few tricks up my sleeve about cyber security. You're an IT professional, a lot of users have no idea what viruses are capable of doing. (Etc. Botnets, RATs, Botnets Implemented with Tor, BeEF & Metasploit (If you're into Kali)). I would just think that would be an interesting field to cover, especially how you explain things. document.print("Hope you like the idea!");
LOL! I hear that! When I did a lot of advertising, I could get it up to 60 students a week, at $10.00 a pop. My classical guitar teacher was $20.00 per 30 minutes.
he keeps talking about these other youtubers that should deserve much more subscribers. Is there a video, or a record of him mentioning any particular once so we can check them out?
Love your video's - You make a great point about solving a problem 1000's of times. The first time you build your first custom pc for a customer is great! But the resulting 200 phone calls about how his computer has no internet because he choose Hughes Net and has used up all his data. ...... .. But its your fault cause you built the computer. --- People don't realize these issues. If you clean up a virus and 3 months later their hard drive crashes and you spend 3 hours explain how its not your fault they don't care. I find analogies work great! If you go have your oil changed and 3 months later you get a flat tire is it the fault of the oil change shop that your tire is flat?
Explaining the actual facts of the situation is much more helpful than accepting fault falsely, dumb it down so they can understand. I go through this damn near every day, u can't just keep not defending yourself, explain what the fuck is going on! If the customer actually cares they will be much more appreciative.
Eli i have a question for you: What do you think will be viable in the tech profession in the next 15 years, Is software engineering going to be a good profession in the years to come, I love your videos, i`ll be grateful for a reply :)
I know this is exactly off topic but I have become impatient for a answer to a question. So I just watched the Introduction to severs video and was curious about something I have planned. I want to host a gaming server. Yes like hosting FPS shooters. You know, something graphically intensive, CPU intensive. In a sense, the same thing as Xbox live for a better lack of an example. I know Eli has said most servers are over kill. I want to know if what hardware would I be looking for to accomplish this. I'm unclear on do I need a Rig just as powerful as mine to dedicate host or can I use just some old tower I got with a low end GPU and CPU. As I look more into, im hearing I will need a computer thats beefy like my gaming computer. I plan to host a server that can smoothly or ideally host up to 300 players and do this at 60 fps with high settings. Idk if there are any gamers here but I play on servers that host 100 players and as it fills up, the performance drops dramatically. Anyway, Ill end it there. You opinions, thank you.
maco de blacko So then I guess the connection to the server would be the biggest issue then? To give you all a little more info, the game I am interested in hosting is Arma 3. This game eats every bit of CPU power you throw at it and to host 300 people seems insane but im sure it's doable and im 100% comfortable with dialing down the host number to 200 or even ~100. My main concern is being able to host the game at a steady performance so if other players with beefy rigs who connect to the server wish to play at High or Ultra settings, they can do so. Thanks maco
I have never setup an Arma server myself and so am probably not the best person to answer this (try posting in an arma forum or subreddit?). But as long as you have a good cpu and fast bandwidth you should be able to host a decent amount of players.
It would not be hard to do PC repair/restoration in your garage, advertise for free on the book of faces, or other such site. Bring it over, I will blow it out, tell you all about it, test/trouble shoot all the parts, Install an appropriate OS, clean it up, maybe sell you some fans You will see a lot of proprietaries, you will see a lot of stupid. Blowing it out, telling you about it, and seeing if it works is free. This is a pretty simple feat. Then just have simple pricing brackets for what you do It will be critical to have a repository of known good parts for most things for testing. Enter the world of PC reclamation
I love surfing and surfed all California and Chicago lakes and Michigan lakes. Today, I have thee surf shops which I visit and make my customers surfboard. The business is not 100 percent. It’s a hobbie. California 🇲🇽🇯🇵🇺🇸🏄🏽♂️🌊🌊🌊🌊😎
You're describing a business, not a hobby. I always thought of hobbies as just something you do for enjoyment, not money. But, maybe that's just me. ;)
+zon3ful True and that's a risk in a way, but on the other hand you have the chance/possibility of turning a job which at a base level you actually enjoy into a profitable enough thing to stop your other job that may be less satisfying to do. It'll really come down to the person if its a good idea or not, for starters there's a big chance you'll have to be self employed to make many a thing work or manage employees if you expand it. Not everybody is able to handle that, either that our outsource it to an expert but that would then be an additional expense.
Enjoy your videos! I am 17 and it would mean the world if you could perhaps stop by in Williston, North Dakota. Its the largest city in the oil boom and you most definitely have fans here. Thank you and please take it into consideration.
Ronald Kelly return 0 is used so your program won't return any value therefore successfully compiling your code. You don't have to use it, I tried with and without return 0 and it still worked. I use the g++ compiler with Linux. Yes thats how they teach you to use it in the days when compilers needed it but now with improved compilers return 0 can be omitted. Try it out by omitting return 0 and you'll see what i mean.
Ronald Kelly compilers nowdays automatically return 0 unless you tell it otherwise. Keep in mind though that if you use the main() function you don't need to explicitly state return 0 it automatically picks it up, but with other functions you do need it so yes you are correct to use return 0, i just chose not to since i used the main() function and i know that it executes it automatically
Ronald Kelly not sure if you use Linux or Windows to code in C++ but I'm speaking from experience of using the Linux g++ compiler. It's pretty much what compiler you use that determines if you get an error or not for omitting return 0. Compilers are not all the same, some are smart and some are dumb lol
Massachusetts - After a rough day of dealing with insane Liberals I relax in the garage while making ammunition for my guns and listening/watching Right wing extremist "Conservative" talk shows & videos. I keep a notepad handy and write down possible business ideas as I go along one of these days I'll get a hit that makes me $millions.
Could you PLEEEEEAAAASSE make a video on how to activate windows 8.1? (: A few weeks ago, my laptop was genuine, then it suddenly asks me to activate windows.. :/

We appreciate it
I learn so much from your vids Eli. Thank you.

Really superb and clear convey of valuable idea / thought :)
When you shoot a video inside your travel trailer, b/c people are outside zipping around on their little motorboats. So relatable.
Good one! I learnded a lut fron yuu! I talked to a few small town insurance agents about the computer seminar thing.

Eli = talk show host that can talk for hours and hours and know about technology. And no accent. Niche.
vincentnnyc Are you bothered by those that have a "accent" ?
If you did Austin I'd show. I've been watching you for years and I live in an RV. I do WiFi repair for RV parks but I won't live in one. I have solar.
We just have to thank Eli for snapping us back to reality.
Eli please upload the tutoriols for c and java programmi.g language. I love ur way of teaching
He hates programming mate!😂
I highly suspect that he will upload more programming videos
Lakshami Johri Check out Udacity...
Lakshami Johri Derek Banas has some good tuts.
Eli The Computer Guy awesome vid eli
Zarko Cekovski thx but who is he ? Do he have any site for programming language
Good Advice! Really Wise! Very Helpful!
Hey Eli, my name is Adam, and I'm no pro at computers, but I do know a few tricks up my sleeve about cyber security.

I thought you were gonna talk about golf, tennis, croquet. Hobby..how about private home music lessons for bored housewives! Now there's a HOBBY!

Loved this video Eli, very good insights!
Thanks, definitely will keep these in mind!
One of your best videos. Good stuff!
Thanks again for your thoughts on this topic!

did he just say i don't like repeating my self
Eli i have a question for you:
What do you think will be viable in the tech profession in the next 15 years,
Is software engineering going to be a good profession in the years to come,
I love your videos, i`ll be grateful for a reply :)
Where are you from in the USA that you have this slight accent? I have watched many of your videos, and I've noticed there is an accent.
Do you have to backdate any of that if you turn it into a business?
What's wrong with stamp collecting?
Very nicely done :)
Still easier than the grinding in Warframe!
why shouldn't i start a computer repair shop?
If you need a presence in UK, hit me up. Currently starting the it journey. Peace.
So, when are you coming to Europe? Bet your behind that you got interested folks here.
Hey Eli make videos of the geek camp!
Josh Aguirre what I meant was to make videos of geek camp when he start's it. so that international audience can also watch it.
I know this is exactly off topic but I have become impatient for a answer to a question. So I just watched the Introduction to severs video and was curious about something I have planned.

since the server is only sending data and not rendering anything a decent cpu and a cheap gpu would be fine.

Hi Eli please make a video how to control a computer without people knowing that you teach so good i always look at your channel and like every video
because i want to creep out my sister
OK i will change my mind how about spying on them without knowing
i know people that can do this
Seyed Mohammad Alavi then go and ask them
I love surfing and surfed all California and Chicago lakes and Michigan lakes. Today, I have thee surf shops which I visit and make my customers surfboard. The business is not 100 percent. It’s a hobbie. California 🇲🇽🇯🇵🇺🇸🏄🏽♂️🌊🌊🌊🌊😎
I read through all the comments in this video. 90% are either off topic or do not relate to Eli area of expertise. What gives?
You're describing a business, not a hobby. I always thought of hobbies as just something you do for enjoyment, not money. But, maybe that's just me. ;)
OmgLoLw2gLuvUidkROFL If you can somehow make a hobby your career it's a beautiful thing haha
+Omoiyari23 Not too sure about that. Making a hobby your job sounds like another job to me..

i do all the things u talk about, as a hobby ;)
