It's been a while since I talk to you so I thought I would give you a quick update on 434. As you have noticed after a few weeks of vacation in August from the beginning of September I started working really hard releasing regular videos. It is the first time I publish so many of them in one month. It will stay like this from now on and I decided to do what I'm supposed to do here with transmitting all the messages from the entities, as requested and according to their plan. Since I decided to dedicate my whole life to 434 there is no reason to delay our growth and learning process.
I must say that I really enjoy doing this and it is incredible how positively everyone reacted to it. The channel is growing at a steady pace, not as fast as it used to but that's a separate issue that I will address soon in another video.
So what is happening at the moment? I have a very long list of new videos to be published soon and I'm starting to slowly collect all the necessary materials to write the book. I think I will get to it at the beginning of 2020 and it should take me a few months. I'll let you know as soon as I know more.
Now I'm in the process of organizing conferences, Manchester and London are organized and I'm also working on Berlin and Amsterdam but I want to see how many tickets I sell for the UK venues first and then I will see about the rest. I'm in the process of organizing America and it's a bit complicated because of the immigration issues. It turns out that as long as I'm in the United States for non-commercial reasons I can do whatever I want but once I want to take any money out of America it becomes a big problem and the current administration is not really helpful from what I've heard but I'm about to hire an immigration lawyer to see what my options are. It might be very simple or it might be a long process that will take a few months. I'll keep you updated. In the meantime I'm about to organize a few more additional locations in Europe and Canada and you will hear about it soon.
There is something I wanted to talk to you about regarding Patreon. Getting new patreons is not as difficult as keeping the old ones on this platform. I've recently noticed that a lot of people are leaving only after being here for two to three months and it is something I really need to talk about because the future of the 434 structure depends on you.
If I'm wrong about this do let me know, your input means a lot here. Every patreon is important to me and I really appreciate all your help. But every month I lose about 30% of the number of people who join. The ratio of joiners and leavers is 3:1 which is really high in my opinion. Of course it indicates growth wich is great but I would want to know what makes you leave. I do understand that people's financial situation changes but I remember supporting other channels and I used to stay with them for at least a year so I am not sure if this is the type of content that is changing on 434 or whether people just want to make one time donations through Patreon but I must admit it's a bit problematic for me. I understand when we're talking huge amounts of money, then it's obvious that you cannot afford to do this every month but when it's small amounts like $5 it is something I have a hard time understanding. In no way am I being disrespectful or ungrateful here, please keep that in mind, and I understand that $5 might be a lot of money for someone who is struggling financially, but if you can afford it please understand that this money every month allows for me to do what I do regularly, for thousand of people to have better lives and it allows the 434 structure to grow and become what it needs to be to make an impact on this reality. I am already in a battle with the social media algorithms that try to limit my reach and adding financial issues on top of it makes it a lot to deal with. Please remember that the money you donate means a world to my future and the future of this project. I really don't have any other source of income at the moment.
All I'm saying that if you want all of this to exist in the future I would really appreciate if you could stay here for as long as you can. I am really grateful for your generosity and what you do - you are in a tiny 0.5% minority of all youtube subscribers and you have a giant heart and you make it possible for 434 to exist for thousands of others. Thanks a lot. The total Youtube views is at 1.7 million and remember that all those people watching the videos have access to them because of you.
I thought that I should make this more rewarding for you so I decided to make Patreon an interactive platform for us and I will be sharing a lot of my personal stuff here and things related to 434. If you wish for your name to be included in the video end credits please let me know! I will be happy to do it. I have never done it because I know that some of you want to stay anonymous but if not, let me know. Also if you have any other ideas how I can say thank you for your support do let me know.
If you need any insight into the finances of 434 send me a message. I can discuss this with you in detail. When it comes to where I'm at financially I would say I'm halfway through of what I need to achieve to have financial freedom. Currently I'm living off my savings and I gave myself three months to see if it works, about six months to get to a level where I don't need to use my savings and I gave it a year to achieve financial freedom through your donations. So far everything's on track and things look good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything will work out and that combined with the conferences and the merchandise shop - things should be okay I think.
Right, I forgot to mention the shop. I'm few weeks away from starting the merchandise and I'll probably use Teespring, if you have had any experience with them please let me know because they seem to be the perfect solution for me right now and I would like to know if there are the right type of a company to partner with.
In the next few weeks I will make videos about how to find purpose in life, about moments of awe and bliss that machine elves talk about so much, I will talk about how the establishment wants us all delegalized and I will invite new guests to the have podcasts with. I am also joining a few more platforms, I am in the process of building VK, Bitchute and I am planning on doing Twitch and Vimeo and few others.
If there is anything you want to talk about send me a message.
Please stay with me longer, I really need your support and you mean so much to me and others who don't have anything else but 434 in life.
May the 434 river flow through you freely.
Love. 434.

of course! I absolutely agree and I really appreciate you decided to help out. It means a lot. Thank you Birdsong
Thanks for the update. To touch on the financial side of things. People are all in unique financial situations so everyone has their reasons why they do or do not continue to support. For me, I support several different people. Two people I have followed their work for several years so once they moved to Patreon it was an easy decision to support them long term. Whilst there have been others that I have known about that once I started supporting them I realised that I didn't fully align with the direction they were taking so I dropped my support after about 6 months. Then there are those, like yourself that I have only come across this year, whose content intrigues me, so I will continue my support. The bottom line is that no one owes anyone anything. Whilst someone may stop supporting you with their $5, they may then support someone else instead. It's all about choice.
I can tell you now that Manchester is booked for December 7, London will probably happen on November 10, I am still talking to venues in Berlin and I will start looking for Amsterdam soon. America and Canada are also in the making. But the tickets should go on sale within the next few days. It really means a lot that you're willing to support 434 financially, it means a lot to me and everybody else 🙌💖 ⬛🔺⬛
I’m so happy to hear about how you’re doing and how on track your financial transition is. That’s wonderful! When do you think we will get concrete info about tickets for the Europe meetups? I only just started doing regular freelance work myself after dropping out of my third uni degree (clinical psychology) and the first thing I did sign up to your Patreon. My situation is still precarious, but I hope I won’t have to reduce my pledge and for now it doesn’t seem like I’ll have to. ◾️🔺◾️
