12M+ Monthly Shorts Views - But don't know how to monetize.

Hello, everyone.

Over the past 3 months, I’ve learned how to edit short videos and have built a network of channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) with nearly 20,000 subscribers.

I average 12 million views per month. At first, I was hoping to monetize through the platforms themselves, but I realized that’s not very effective. I’ve noticed that major content creators use affiliate links to make money. I want to give that a try.

I’ve spent a couple of days reading up on how it works, but I’m new to choosing an affiliate partner - can you recommend where I should look?

My videos cover news in the fields of technology, video games, and interesting DIY projects related to PCs / console.

My audience is roughly:
90% men aged 24–36; 40% in the US, Canada
30% in Europe, UK
30% in India and Asia.

I’ve signed up for the NordVPN and SharkVPN affiliate programs. Ive been approved for both. But I’m not going to rush into a decision just yet.
I’m waiting to choose one.

Has anyone had experience working with these platforms?
What affiliate programs would you recommend for my situation?

THX GUYS!

Air m4 Setup

Hi, everyone. I finally managed to set up a new workspace after moving.

I bought a used MacBook M4 with a broken screen on Facebook Marketplace, and I’m using it kind of like a Mac mini.

I have a Dell monitor with a 4K, 120 Hz screen. Inside the monitor, I have a 1-terabtte SSD.

My desk and shelves are from Jusk. All the other peripherals are from Logitech. I have a Gulikit joystick, but it’s just an accessory- I don’t play games on my MacBook.

All the plants are from Jusk. They’re all fake.

Have a great day, everyone!

I'm looking for a game like Euro Truck Simulator but with regular cars

Hi everyone, could you please recommend a game similar to Euro Truck Simulator but with regular cars?

I'm not looking for a racing game, but rather just a place where I can drive around real cities or highways.

I like to drive a car in the game before going to sleep.

Zelda Twilight Princess on Steam Machine is insane

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share how great Dusklight (recompiled TP) runs on Steam Machine. I’m playing in native 4K with additional 4K textures, and it’s a real blast.

I can play more Zelda games on Steam Machine than on my second Switch. That just amazes me.

Steam Machine Overheating

Hey everyone,
I received my Steam Machine today. I really like it.
But I have a question: from time to time, I notice that it overheats and displays a red bar for 1–2 seconds. This happens in demanding games; it doesn’t happen in simpler ones.

I was able to take a photo of it when it overheated.

The console is sitting on a shelf under my TV. Before that, I had a PS5 Pro there, and it never overheated, and before that, I had an Xbox Series X, and it never overheated either.

Can you tell me - could this be due to the fan firmware not being fully optimized yet, or did I choose a bad spot for the console?
Has anyone else experienced this?

Love this console

My wife went to visit her parents for the weekend, so I decided to go on a date by myself.

I played Zelda, drank tea, and ate pizza. Switch 2 gives me more excitement than any other console ever has.

I bought a Nintendo 3DS at an auction.

What are your top 3 games?
