The creator tested the app for 24 hours using a mid-range PC and shares the results, including earnings, electricity costs, and profitability based on graphics card demand. ### Key Points - **Concept of Earning with PC** [00:01] — The app Salad allows you to earn money by letting AI companies use your computer's components for tasks like training AI models. You get paid per minute of usage via gift cards, PayPal, or prepaid cards. - **How Salad Works** [01:44] — Download the app, and companies use your computer's components (especially GPU) for AI tasks. You earn money for every minute your computer is used. - **Test Setup** [03:48] — The creator tested Salad on a mid-range PC with a 5-year-old graphics card for 24 hours. The app estimated earnings of $0.05/hour ($1.20/day, $36/month) based on the GPU. - **Four Earning Modes** [05:08] — Modes: (1) Always on, (2) Only when idle, (3) Scheduled hours, (4) Disabled. The creator used mode 1 for maximum potential. - **Results Table** [07:37] — Low-end GPU: $0.021/hr, $0.50/day, $15.12/month. Mid-to-high-end: $0.063/hr, $1.51/day, $45.36/month. High-end: $0.175/hr, $4.20/day, $126/month. - **Demand Impact** [09:23] — Low-demand GPUs (like the creator's) experience interruptions; actual earnings were only $0.50 in 24 hours (about 2 hours of work). High-demand GPUs run 24/7, making estimated earnings more accurate. - **Electricity Costs** [10:55] — Low-end GPU is not profitable due to low usage and electricity costs. Mid-to-high-end and high-end GPUs can be profitable if electricity costs are low (e.g., solar panels). - **Target Audience** [11:52] — Best for people with powerful gaming PCs that are idle often, or those with cheap electricity. Payment methods include gaming-related rewards. ### Conclusion Salad can generate passive income, but profitability depends heavily on your GPU's demand and electricity costs. Low-end GPUs may not be worth it, while high-end GPUs can earn significant money if used 24/7. ## Transcript allows you to earn money simply by having your computer turned on. I've tried the app and it's truly amazing, and in this video I'm going to give you all the information about it and how you can use it too. I'll get straight to the point. I have the website in question here. It's a website that's in English. I'm going to translate it into Spanish so we can understand it perfectly, but it works quite simply. This website allows us to do the following. It says, " Cloud services for all budgets." This allows companies to contract servers in the cloud. This is used for perfectly clear. When I use an artificial intelligence, let's say Chat GBT, and I ask Chat GBT a question, Chat GBT will have to think of that answer, and it won't think of that answer directly on my computer, Chat GBT's servers. Artificial intelligence systems today computing power. Basically, they need a lot of computers, both to give us the answers and to train themselves, as well as to generate audio, to generate images, to generate videos; they need a lot of computing power, and that's why we ca n't hear news about Meta, about Google, about OpenI Well, this company, this application, this website, what this allows these artificial intelligence companies is to hire build these data centers, what this application allows is for these companies to use the computing power of different computers that basically computers like my own computer. What interests us is this part, which is making money with a PC. This is basically a literary translation from English. And it easiest way to make money with your PC, start chopping ingredients in your the Salad app." Okay, this translation is a bit strange, but basically what it tells us is that we will be able to make our used to train these directly to run these artificial intelligences and we given to us in several ways; it can come in the form of gift cards, PayPal cards, or even a Mastercard or Visa card so that you can want. To put it simply, it works like this. We are going to download this application. Once we have this application downloaded, these companies are going to use our computer, and when I say mean that they are going to enter my computer, see everything I have and move around like that going to use the components of my computer to do these tasks and for every minute that they use my computer, the components of my computer, they are going to be tried this application, I had two options. The number one option is to end, the computer I use is a use it for work; I use it literally every day. So, when I bought it, I wanted to buy a really powerful computer, you know, with a lot of memory, a lot of RAM, with really good specifications, but I didn't find it that interesting and I preferred to try it using a normal computer. I tested it using this computer I have using this computer I have here. Let's see if I can post it and make it look Well, here we have the computer. It's a computer that might look a normal computer. The only difference is that the box is a different kind of box; it's an all the components of a computer inside. This is a normal computer, like the one that anyone might have. It's even a mid-range computer, and I'd even venture to say it's leaning towards low-end, since the components are quite old. But anyway important and what really has value is this, which is the graphics card. Okay, understanding this, I'm going to explain my experience. What I have done is test this application with this computer for 24 hours. the whole process went. The first thing I did was plug in the computer, connect it. computer, I downloaded the application. I also created an account on Salat i. what the application itself does is analyze what the components of your computer are and based on the components of your computer it will told me I was going to generate, taking into account that this graphics card is a 5-year-old graphics card, therefore it is relatively old in the world of technology, he told me that with this computer I am going to generate 5 cents an hour, I'm talking about dollars, which is 1.2 a day or what is the same, $36 a month. But I insist that this depends on the graph we have. If we have a powerful graphics card, we can earn up to $16 per month. Then he asked me to choose what kind of tasks I wanted to perform. So, there's an option that allows you to perform the most profitable tasks first. So, I left that setting. Then he asked me how I wanted to receive the money, what option I wanted to choose. And I simply you receive the money you can choose what to do with it, do with the money either. This app has four ways to earn money. We therefore have four methodologies that we can activate. The first mode involves the computer always being operational and artificial intelligence, and therefore always generating income. Then we have the second option, which is that it will only artificial intelligences when we are not using it. We have day, and when it sees that we are not using it, it will be available to these artificial intelligences and will only be generating income when we are not using it. Then we have the third option, which is to For example, we're going to tell him, "Hey, from 11 pm until 7 am, he should be generating income and be available, and then we have the last option, which is to simply disable it and not generate anything at all. In my case I used option one which basically consists of the computer being available 24/7 to generate these tasks, since the only use I gave this computer during this time is this. So I wanted to see the maximum potential. After that, I did three setting is that by default the application shows that the application has up to 150 GB of access to the computer, and I set the maximum which is up to 500 GB of the application administrator access, which maximizes profitability. And finally, I disabled the mining option, since this that basically makes cryptocurrencies when you're not using the application, but in the end that wasn't my goal, since I wanted to focus artificial intelligence thing. Once everything was set up, it maximum profitability. I left it a message appeared saying it was looking for the first task to perform, but nothing happened, it was just there waiting. I went to sleep that day, woke up the next day, and when I woke up the next day I could already hear that the graphics card was making a bit more noise and it was noticeable that it was working. And when I logged into the application, I was indeed already performing a task. Once the computer started working, I left it until 24 hours had passed since I turned it on. And now let's talk about results. To talk about results, the first thing I have to show you is this page within the website of this application, and here we see several graphics cards. Something interesting to note is that the one we have here is the worst one that appears, okay? Several graphics cards are listed here, and they give us curious is that, for example, the estimate given here for my graphics card is lower than the estimate given when we connected the whole computer to the program. Honestly, I don't know why. I imagine it's which will vary, right? Depending on the number of people connected or the number of services, it will vary. I don't know exactly, but this is the this data, I've made a table to be able to see the results. I picked up three types of graphics cards. The first graphics card is the one I have, the one I have here, which according to the website is categorized as a low-end graphics card. Then I got a mid-to-high-end graphics card, and finally I got a high-end graphics card . So, let's look at the income compared to what I have. We're talking about 0.021 We're talking about 0.021 per hour, which is 0.5 per day, which is 15.12 dollars per month, and $1.44 per year. Regarding the mid-to-high range, we are talking about 0.063 per hour, $0.51 per day, 45.36 per month and 544.32 per year. And with respect to the high-end one, we're talking about $0.175 per hour, $4.20 per day, $16 per month and $1,512 per year. Once we understand this, we need to talk about demand, as this is something really important. If we go back to the demand for each of the graphics cards, right? High E, moderate E here, and low E here. The problem is that this graphics card has low demand, and ultimately it's a matter of supply and demand. contract these services, they will select what type of graphics card they want. So, based on supply and demand, if there are many people with this graphics card offering it and fewer companies needing these services, what happens is that for a certain time the one who wants to hire it. And this is exactly what has happened to me in these 24 hours. Of these 24 hours it has not been working for all the hours, it has only been working for some hours. Therefore, what this has generated is that in these 24 hours this card has generated 0.5, which is basically that it has been working for a little over 2 hours. But on the other hand, we can see how other graphics cards, like the ones we've been looking at, do have high demand, and according to what appears here, which I'm going to translate into Spanish, graphics cards that have high demand should experience minimal interruptions in their income. This means that they are operating 24/7, or practically 24/7. Therefore, the revenue figures shown here are quite close to reality, unlike a graphics card which has low demand, which won't be used all the time, so revenue. Another thing to keep in mind is that this computer, or really any computer, electricity when it is not being used, while when it is being used it will consume electricity costs, this is something really important for calculating profit. So, to do this I go back to the table and we have to keep in mind that the low-end one, as they call it, is not profitable because since it is not is not profitable because since it is not working 24/7, in the end it is something electricity than it generates, therefore it doesn't make sense. But with respect to the mid-to-high-end and high-end models, yes, with respect to the daily electricity cost of the latter, we are talking about 1.13. And regarding the daily electricity cost for this machine, we are talking about To conclude this video, I'd like to say that this application is definitely something interesting if you have a computer you do n't use, or if you have a powerful graphics card in your computer and income while you're not using it, or if you have solar panels or some other method that allows you to have free or very cheap electricity. In that case, then it this application is designed for people who have a gaming computer, a computer they use for gaming, and who, while they're not gaming on that income. And that's why most of the prizes they give you, the payment method they several payment methods, but a fairly popular one is money for games or for skins or things like that. So anyway, in the end I'm doing this test to try it out and so you can see a real result with a fairly normal computer and so make decisions based on that information . This little money for others; for some it is worth it, for others it is not worth n't have to, so you can see the real experience and own decisions based on it. So that's it, that's the end of the video. I really hope you found it case, don't hesitate to leave a like. I'm Adrian Saence and I'll see you in the next one.
