The Problem With Only Fans
People are fascinated by Only Fans. As a historian, I love writing about history. In reality, hardly anyone reads my articles. The most popular posts that I have written have been about Only Fans and social media in general. The popularity of the platform combined with speaking to an aquatint led me to write another post. This particular creator, who wants to remain anonymous wanted to share her experience on the site to help others who may be considering joining, so she agreed to do a Q&A with me.

TikTok Side Hustles
When I scroll through my TikTok ‘for you’ feed, it is littered with creators claiming that they make thousands from various side hustles. I love side hustling and have tried all sorts in the past to make an extra few $$ on the side. So I decided to try a few of these side hustles that people on TikTok were recommending. Some I had tried before, some I already do and some were completely new to me.

Want to Stop Using Google? Here Are Some Alternatives to Their Services
After reading a number of negative articles and posts about Google and their parent company Alphabet inc, I decided that I was going to try and stop using everything that was related to Google and its group of companies. According to Wikipedia, there are currently 243 Alphabet-owned companies and that number continues to grow.

Fed up of YouTube?
If you are starting a YouTube channel in 2021 then getting noticed on the platform can be very difficult. Tens of thousands of creators are signing up every day and it seems like everything has already been done on YouTube. If you are starting a channel with the purpose of getting monetized then be warned, growth on the platform can take years and even when you reach those golden numbers of 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time, you are still not guaranteed to get your content monetized.

The Most Effective Way to Increase Your YouTube Subscribers
I looked at my YouTube Channel a couple of months ago and noticed that I started it in 2014. Instantly, I wished that I had put more time and effort into it years ago as I feel that I have maybe missed the YouTube boat. Regardless, since graduating from university in 2020, I have made a push to create more content on YouTube, but I have found that my growth on the platform has been very slow.

Ways for Small Creators to Earn Money From Their Content
As writers, freelancers, content creators, it can be a struggle to earn a decent living, especially if you are just starting out. We put hours of time into what we create for sometimes little or no rewards, and whilst some of the top YouTubers and Instagrammers make millions, there are hundreds of thousands of smaller creators, like myself that barely make any money.

Should You Pay A Freelancer on Fiverr to Promote Your YouTube Videos?
I have had my YouTube channel since 2014. I uploaded my first video in 2016 and since then, I have sporadically uploaded 54 videos. However, after completing my Master's degree, I had more free time and wanted to try and grow my YouTube channel and so, I read all the advice out there, most of which seemed to tell creators to be consistent. Taking this advice, for the last six months, I have uploaded one video per week on the same day and at the same time.

Homelessness in Los Angeles
I have recently come across a YouTuber called German in Venice. In many of his videos, he highlights social issues in Los Angeles, especially homelessness. I was aware of the number of people living on the streets in Los Angeles, after visiting here back in 2012. However, I was shocked to see how some of the more popular areas have people living in tents by the side of the road. However, since I visited in 2012, the amount of people that are living in camps, hostels and cars in the Los Angeles area has got significantly worse.

Virginia House
Virginia House was once located in Warwick, England, where it had been re-modelled a series of times by various owners before making the journey across the Atlantic to Virginia.[1] Its original location formed part of a succession of buildings that had stood on the site for almost nine hundred years. Between the years of 1114 and 1119, the Priory of Saint Sepulchre was founded on the site by Henry de Newburgh, the first Earl of Warwick. In 1547, the original buildings were pulled down and a mansion built, finished in 1566. The home was once again sold in 1584, to Sir John Puckering, a lawyer and Speaker of the House of Commons. He remodelled the house somewhere between the years 1581 and 1611. In 1727, the house was acquired by Henry Wise, Royal Gardener to Queen Anne and George I, staying in the family until 1851 when it was sold to the Oxford Junction Railway Company.[2] The house was sold in 1925, where it was purchased by American Diplomat Alexander Weddell and his wife.[3]

Agecroft Hall, Virginia
Richmond businessman Thomas C. Williams was part of Virginia's upper-class society. A set that promoted antiquarianism and Anglophile attitudes.[1] Williams was planning on building an English manor-style house on the James river and so he travelled to England, in search of items and inspiration for his new home.[2] Whilst Williams initially travelled for inspiration, he ended up purchasing an entire fifteenth-century medieval manor house in Pendlebury, Greater Manchester, called Agecroft Hall.[3] The Agecroft Hall that Williams purchased can be dated to around the end of the reign of Henry VII, or the beginning of that of Henry VIII, although parts of the south and west wings appear to have been built about a century later. The home once consisted of twenty rooms including a great hall, parlour, dining parlour, several bed chambers and a private chapel. [4] However, the home went through many changes and renovations throughout its years, including a fire in 1894, which destroyed two wings of the house.[5]

The Sheffield Cholera Epidemic of 1832
Asiatic Cholera (also known as Cholera Morbus or Spasmodic Cholera) began in the Ganges Valley Delta, India in 1826. It spread into Persia and then by 1929, it was in southern Russia. It spread along sea routes across Europe and reached the UK in 1831. The British Ambassador in St Petersburg wrote to London in 1830, warning them of the raging disorder that was a sort of plague. Russian ships were put into quarantine as they entered British ports. However, the process was not strictly regulated. By 1831, the disease had reached Berlin, Hamburg and entered Britain via the port of Sunderland in October of 1831.
