Today, we will learn how to place the Sonos Sub, or any other sub for that matter. You've already spent good money on the sub. Make sure you place it for maximum benefits! I measure the output levels from each position and orientation to find out in an objective manner the best placement for your Sonos Sub!

Where should you place the Sonos Sub? IS the placement important? Does the placement affect the sound?

Do you place the sonos sub on the side? Or standing vertically? If you stand it up straight, do you face the port opening towards you? Or is it ok to face it to the side? Does the orientation affect the sound?

All these questions answered and more!

This section is about me trying to figure out how to fund this channel for future expansion. Tech reviews aren't always cheap. I have to figure out a sustainable way to fund the gear that I am getting so that I can review them for users. I have put in the initial investment of getting the production stuff, including a machine for post production, camera gear and lights.

Each video also requires time. And a lot of it. I didn't realise until I started doing it. And in order to produce content that is differentiated and adding value on top of every other video out there, I had to invest a lot of time to think of ideas, research on methodology, run and conduct the test, record the results, script them into a coherent video, film the video, edit and finally post. The 10 mins that you see on my videos take me an average of 8-12 hours over a couple of days to produce.

All said, I have not gotten direct sponsorships from equipment manufacturers or distributors. Primarily because I am still too small a channel. And on top of that, I feel that having sponsorship obligations mean that I may not be able to say the things that my viewers need to hear, which mayhem not necessarily be the things that the sponsors want me to say.

Which means I have to figure out other means to fund my work on this channel. I am learning and have not figured out the best way to do this. But so far, I have learned about Amazon Affiliate programme, which gives me a small referral fee for every sale that I link to them. I have started doing this but the results aren't showing. The idea is that if I convince my viewers to buy the products that I am talking about through the links that I am providing to the product on Amazon, I get compensated for the effort. I am providing the links, but it isn't always the case that Amazon provides the best deal. And to my viewers, I say, find the best deal. On the internet, it's easy, just a few clicks might nett you a couple of dollars savings. So I don't want to push Amazon Affiliate links if it is not in my viewers' interest.

The second method I have figured out at the suggestion of one of my viewers (John Robinson), is through Patreon. Again, this concept is alien to me and I am not sure how I can provide extra value to my patrons. No doubt I will slowly figure it out but for the moment, I can only list it here -   / peterpee  

The third, which is through youtube monetisation, is when I post videos and ads play on the videos that you watch. This is great and it helps but I also recognise that this gets irritating for some viewers. I can only ask for your understanding on this!

At the end of the day, I don't need to fund the full purchase of the equipment that I am to review. I only need to fund the loss of the value of the equipment when I resell them.
