How Do YouTuber’s Afford It All? The Question We’ve All Been Avoiding.

[@lrfox49]

Personally I don’t think about the money people make. I don’t like fear mongering, we all knows what’s going on in the world, so the people I watch is people who encourage and uplift me. I enjoy your channel cause it’s family, Faith, and freedom!

[@peggybachler5952]

I personally don’t care what you do and your financial situation, I enjoy watching you and others, so kudos for ya’ll getting funds!!

[@paulamacdonald7070]

Except we both clicked to watch

[@karenrothery5696]

I totally agree and I love their personal ads! Kudos to GSL for their creativity! Keep up the good work on all levels!

[@davelauraphillips8814]

KZbinrs like you that use this platform for good and help others that are in need deserve to get paid. Thank you and be safe.

[@chrisbray3084]

I enjoy what you do. I also prefer your commercials to KZbin. I’m glad you are able to be paid for your time.

[@stacyvose2489]

I love how honest your family is. What you make is your business, not everyone else's. I love your podcast and your videos, to me it's relaxing to watch. Plus the Fundraiser for the cancer children and their families is so heartwarming. ❤❤

[@Peg-rm4jx]

I've never seen 2 people work as hard as you two, literally at everything you do, I feel so grateful that you allow us to share in your good success and personally I think you're the best youtubers on KZbin,. Melissa you are as good as any Hollywood producer, honestly maybe better, you got the it factor! God bless you!

[@Kb1901kb_kris]

The more ads the less I watch. 2 is my limit. Beginning 1 and 1 in middle

[@50spirithealer]

I’m not sure if I would explain to anyone how I made a living! Just a simple,” yes, we work 80-90 hours per week. Would you do the same?”Plus, we open up our lives and home for the world. Would you do that? “ “ Our income is not the public’s business.” Really enjoy your videos!

[@lauraquigley6403]

Just almost cried remembering the wonderful families that were Blessed through your platform in particular the family that had lost a child. It is just so heart warming to remember all that your family has done to help other’s. This is why I Love your family! The honesty is so true!❤🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@cgreen186]

I agree with you. In fact that is when I first viewed them on youtube. And have been following ever since. I agree with everything you said.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks folks for sharing with us. There are those out here that understand what you folks go through to make a living and we appreciate it very much. There are those who are unable to get out there and work like they use to who appreciate watching and dreaming of those days gone by and how hard we worked to get to where we are watching you guys all the time and we don't begrudge you of anything you earn and can earn more by doing commercials either. Have at it and more power to you. It's an honest living. Stay safe and keep up the great videos , Fred.

[@sharonwatkins9100]

You are doing so much good with your videos. Hope you stay online for as long as you want and make as much money as you can to take care of your family and do all the good things that you do. Love you all bunches.

[@Simple-d9i]

As usual a great articulate explanation! You also need the personality and presence to be on KZbin and you and your family have that and more. I am honoured to be able to watch your family on this awesome journey. Thank you.

[@robinderick947]

I think that as with any job, there are pros and cons. I also think that a you tube channel like yours is a lot harder to do than a regular job. I am also very grateful that I stumbled upon your channel.

[@skjenco]

I came across this channel and a similar one while completing a project. What stands out about your content and similar ones is that you show certain mistakes your not going to see on the how to videos--its a different aspect of "how to". I keep watching because your telling a good story. The effort and time you put into crafting a compelling story is valuable. Why shouldn't you enjoy the fruits of your labor and talent?

[@christinakindler9112]

I just love watching Hood Simple Living and GSL Uncut. It's no one's business how much you make or don't make. People fishing for a dollar amount. You guys ROCK! Keep up the great work 🤗

[@SusanLaHousse]

I see you as "entertainers".... I am 71, so the format has changed, but to me no different than watching a series on TV i liked, always were commercials, and toys associated were sold in stores.... I enjoy your videos... good decent watching that makes me smile and doesn't give me nightmares. Thank you!

[@kimperes5987]

Your income doesn't matter to me. Your family values and morals are what keep me here as a long distance family member. 😂❤🌻

[@Mr7777Mark]

Just keep doing what you do. I enjoy it because it’s real life. One time you guys talked about how you disagreed about this or that. That’s how real life is. For instance , you never seen James Bond stuck in traffic, that’s because it’s not real life.

[@jamesholland5761]

With a subject that many consider taboo, you both handle with simple explanation and grace at the same time. Thank you for this and all your content! Enjoyed it very very much! Hope you and your family have a wonderful week!

[@susannepope6197]

I grew up in a family business so I enjoyed this session. So many people do not understand that it is really a 24 hour a day life. Years ago I taught a video film class in a middle school. The hours I put in editing were overwhelming. Thank you for sharing the hours needed to edit.

[@helenslak6407]

You two know how to figure things out no matter what it is. The power of positive thinking. ❤ your Children have wonderful roll modles. True example of what a family is ment to be ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ty without you tube we would never get to know you.

[@NewWorldOldSoulPodcast]

Thank you so much!

[@nruegner]

I am glad that you are making videos and are able to support your family in this way. We are in a "whole new world". I am an old gal, but I understand that you need to be able to make money when you spend so much time video taping. People think that if you own your own business you are rich and don't do much to get $$. I love watching both channels and I loved the grocery store hand outs last year. It would be great to be able to do it again. Thanks for all you do. Joanne Gaines called me and said they will be in contact with you soon, so that they can be on next week. Wink, wink.

[@palaminopony1]

Love how you explained all this, and expanded on the things that can help others.🥰

[@GeorgeinScotland]

I cannot believe the neck of some folks actually asking how much you get paid or what you do for a living. Do they think your projects are completed in the 1 hour video then you sit down with your feet up until you think of something else to do that might bring in some viewers. I have a lot of respect for you and your lovely family

[@flyinthebug35]

I was surprised to hear you get paid less for Canadian viewers vs. US viewers. This was a very informative video guys, thanks for sharing the "inside information" about how KZbin creators get paid. Very interesting and must be a bit stressful for you guys. I am sorry my views from Canada don't pay you as much as a US view, but I always watch and never miss a single video so that is something. We are bracing for a ton more snow this week, and I have already plowed twice this fall. I hope you guys are still having a nice mild fall. As always, sending love from our acreage to yours.

[@GoTo-KleckfilesDOTCOM]

When a commercial comes on watching the whole commercial versus skipping it after 5 seconds or whatever pays higher too.

[@myztery4934]

lol. What you do is absolutely work. Your whole channel is built on you making progress on your homestead. You literally have to work to even make the videos. And I so appreciate the work you put in and I hope it continues for as long as you enjoy doing it for us.

[@karenhall4371]

Thankyou for your raw honesty, I personally pay a monthly fee as to not get the ads. I prefer to see what you recommend, being in the uk it doesn’t actually affect me but still it’s something you believe in. You guys are my favourite youtubers and I look forward all week to your videos. Great podcast, very eye opening. Well done, god bless you all ❤

[@Ourownstyle]

Wow!! An honest thank you for your transparency and articulation about the process. Really it makes me want to watch ads more on your channel just to support!! Always wondered why people would take hours for a hazy video that never answered this question…it was informative to learn.

[@JamesWrightLBC]

We have YT premium so we dont see most ads, but we dont mind the sponsor ads - they're content you work on as well, and often theyre cute. Your coffee skits used to make me laugh...good chat, you guys are refreshingly candid as always.

[@teresasmith7928]

Also, I meant to say a big THANK YOU, as I noticed one of your charities is Childhood Cancer! My youngest grandson was diagnosed in 2010 at 4 yrs. old! I’m very happy to say that tomorrow November 4th, he will be cancer free for 13 yrs!! So again, THANK YOU!!

[@NewWorldOldSoulPodcast]

Absolutely incredible ❤️

[@deb9711]

I have been watching your Videos since you locked up your old home and Drove into the big shed in your caravan. You 2 work seriously hard for your family. I have always hoped KZbin treated you with enough respect to at least help you generate what your worth. It's seems to me it would be really hard to make it work. Most KZbinrs I watch seem to work damn hard doing a pretty stressful job. Self Employment is damn hard especially in the beginning. 100% don't envy how hard this would be. Thankyou for your honesty 😊

[@karolynshaw8082]

We watch ads on TV so thinking KZbin creators shouldn’t have ads is silly. Yes ads can be annoying but I would rather be annoyed for KZbinrs ad than the stuff in TV. Keep on doing what you to, it’s awesome and refreshing ❤🇨🇦

[@cindyconnor9178]

It feels like you are a guest in my home because you have let us get to KNOW you so it seems like you get paid to come visit us even though we are pushing the buttons to be able to visit with you. I'm glad you get paid for your hard work entertaining me. So thanks!

You entertain us all and definitely deserve to be paid for your time. Thanks for all that you do!

[@annettes7460]

Super interesting video. And so refreshing to subscribe to a genuine, well-meaning channel. You and your family are aspirational! (I'm an 80 y.o. quilting grandmother and mainly use You Tube for quilt ideas/techniques and enjoyment, plus keeping an eye on our political environment... hoping that the latter drama will soon be over. But then, it's always something.). All the best to you and your family!

[@LynnBachman-f9y]

It’s like a tv show. You must consider what the show is… content. Then cameras and moving them to get the shot the angle. Then writing, voice over, adding music. Editing so the story flows from one thing to the next. It’s a skill to make the video flow and make it seem natural like you’re standing there with them. It’s a full time job that takes way more than 40 hours a week.

[@oldveteran7992]

I have control of the advertising ads that pop up on YT, by skipping ever ad. When we watch the NFL, we DVR it and start watching a half hour later, so we can blow through the commercials. I enjoy both of your channels. I love being able to watch your family on this awesome journey of growing up and all your projects over the years..Thank you.

[@dblake3806]

No adds for me. I pay for KZbin. Worth it. Too many adds are just too much, make even good shows not worthwhile. I would buy souvenirs from your channel. I have bought from others and not found anything poor quality, yet. I get how much work y’all do especially for the level of quality. I have created training videos, the scripting, planning, execution, and editing. There is so much labor and thoughtfulness required. Y’all make it look easy. We’ve watched y’all faithfully every week since you started the foundation of the main home. And we watched all your past videos and saw your kids grow. Amazing and inspiring. God Bless you folks. We wish you continued happiness and success ❤ PS who’s Mr. Beast? Sounds like someone sold their soul?

[@joyceb5864]

You may not be professionals, but you have great videos and I never miss one. It is wonderful to see such a close family and I have become so attached, I feel you are my relatives. Those children are precious and so are the 2 of you. Keep doing what you are doing and I will keep watching!

[@billinfallon2634]

I'm amazed how a lot of people don't realize the amount of equipment, fustration, commitment to the entire process goes into making a video or podcast! Have looked into a lot of YT's channels that talk about being content creator... I just wish i was younger and knew more about the computering world! It is so complex and so many different working parts! Y'all do an AWESOME job putting it all together and just melts my heart that the family is rock solid! Bless y'all! I'll say some extra prayers for Jeremy... think he might need it... Gonna be a really tough one to swallow 😮😅 Your podcast (uncut) really helps me get thru hump day😊... What surprises me is that ya don't have more subscribers to this channel... It's more in tune with the importance of being the adults in families... Just thank ya both for being examples what more parents need to be!

[@heidipustelniak652]

I enjoy knowing that I am helping to fund the channels that I love watching! Loving the podcasts!

[@marebear09]

You make it look easy! P.S. I much prefer your ads from sponsors to Google ads. Thank you for not overdoing it with those!

[@kaylashomecrusade]

Melissa your back to Eden gardening videos was the beginning of me thinking that I could possibly take what I do best and make a channel out of it. But I didn't actually put it into action until I saw you guys move to Idaho and make your dreams come true. I got on skill share and learned the basics of editing and went for it! You all are my inspiration for turning my stay at home mom life into a cleaning motivation channel! Granted I'm still a newborn channel and under 500 subscribers, I'm having a ball doing it and praying that this will, in time, help me to help others get motivated and help me to help my husband with bills ❤ Thank you so much for the motivation that you gave me to step up and try this for myself! You guys are amazing!

[@charliemtaylor]

I really miss you in the Washington garden growing jewel corn and showing us your fruit trees. I am so happy for you all though, what an amazing opportunity, and what a great job you did taking advantage of it.

[@pamb5977]

This was a great conversation and explained so much! It solidified your values and why we choose to watch your channel and only a couple other channels because of these aspects. For example I appreciate the companies you choose to work with as their products are are useful for most people and you are not just using that opportunity to get free things for your family. Many other creators are getting thousands of dollars of free merchandise which we couldn’t afford to buy at all, doing a rush job on a video promotion and only giving viewers a hundred dollars off enrichment. As a result we have unsubscribed from many channels as we see them like your friend said as a sellout. So thank you for the work you do, not only for your channel, but for the fundraising efforts you do that again very few channels engage in. You give back to the community and I am thankful for that! Thank you for your inspiration and insight!!

[@cherylandersen434]

Great topic! You never disappoint . . . . . .Your discussions are thorough, in-depth and very informative. Thank you for all that you do . . . . .

[@tencyross3156]

As if I couldn’t like you guys enough. I really appreciate your candid answers and the fact you make this a business but not the same or as encompassing as other channels. Y’all do it on your terms your way and it makes you more likeable.

[@stevenwatkins5834]

Love and pray for you and your family! Lost our son to cancer, so what you do for those kiddos and families touched my heart! The Lord has blessed our 2, homeschooling, daughters with 7 and 5 kids! Love, also, that you respect the privacy of yours ❤.

[@jgirl18515]

I love the ads that you do -- one that really stood out for me was awhile back in the tiny home -- for Harry's Razors, and Melissa was shaving her legs, and she put out "her" leg which was really Jeremy's hairy leg and then he gives the eyes like eeww. Your ads are so fun and they don't even seem to be ads.

[@NewWorldOldSoulPodcast]

😆

[@kellyribar5976]

I think most of us that watch you understand how y’all make revenue with ads. I believe most of us want to know how you are making so much money to fund not only all of your builds in todays economy but the equipment you use, your retirement, medical insurance, etc. The curiosity comes from The amount of money you’re making.

[@GoTo-KleckfilesDOTCOM]

That's easy. The amount of views obviously generates more income Some of the previous internet families who are generating money from ads are making in excess of 500,000 a year. Not saying GSL is However, all anyone would need to do is go research the market. That way you could get the answers you need without having to ask such personal questions. I mean, after all. There are very weird people in the world who would get the information for bad things.

[@lynnteneyck8487]

I love wstching. I believe if I may be frank, I watch a lot of homesteading videos, and I am so proud of you all for the building and homeschooling and just bringing family together as it should be. Its only that it starts out great and then in a year or so it goes down from 3-4 spots a week to maybe 30-40 minutes a week. Then its said because they need to spend more time with family. That's wonderful but you have to remember you have put yourself out there for us and made us feel like family and it sometimes feels like we are just being used. Not everyone like you take us on journeys for birthdays or trips to Texas and California and shopping which is wonderful and I do understand your need to protect your children at all costs. But in my situation I look so forward to seeing your videos every week and look forward especially to your endings and words of wisdom to your subscribers. You have truly been blessed!!! You have to know there are those of us who truly love you and your family. I thank you for making that time so wonderful for me!!!!!!

[@maryyarwood4691]

You should not have to answer how much or how you make your money on KZbin. Just simply say You do the very same thing that is done on mainstream television. You produce a show as entertainment or a how to do show. Mainstream people are paid to create shows, and so are you. The real difference is that you are regular people who open up to your audience. Mainstream entertainment shows are actors who evolve into Hollywood Elite. You are one of us who work hard, have problems, pay bills, and do without to make things work for your family. At the end of the day, you make dinner, home school, preserve food, and help others when you see the need. You don't do it for fame. You do it to earn an income for your family, and this is just a new way to do it, and you all do it well, thank you.

[@NewWorldOldSoulPodcast]

Thank you 😊 💓

[@grammaluvs10]

Thanks for helping us understand this whole you tube thing better.

[@silentepsilon888]

when people watch TV or streamed shows, they know and accept that actors and show hosts get paid for the work they do and they know there is supporting production staff behind the scenes that gets paid too. People accept commercial interruptions as well, yet when it comes to KZbin or other social media channels the productions are expected to be commercial free. I am glad you outline how much work goes into the creating of content and explain that this is a full time job that needs to earn a stream of income to be able to support the process and your family.

[@lindasuerussell4398]

Thank you, I was always curious about the money aspect of KZbin. I am an avid KZbin watcher and have learned so much, love your presentations.

[@dixiehurley1743]

[@thehobbyrancher]

I recently started a KZbin channel and I can’t believe how many hours it takes to edit a 20 min video. Hope to be monitized soon because it would be nice to have some money to invest in my property to make more content. Love what you guys do, keep up the good work.

[@lindawatson3356]

You put forth so much thought and effort in making your videos, all the while capturing the building of your homestead. Your endings are so thought provoking and just ties the week together. That's why I love your channel. I do watch other channels that have paid platforms and I won't join to watch. You explained the workings of KZbin very clearly. I just wish I was younger, I would have loved trying to make it on KZbin. I want you to prosper so that you continue to make more awesome content.

[@edduffer1637]

Personally, I have a huge problem with people who are so nosey that they even begin to think it is their business how much money someone else has or how someone else supports their family. If you aren't out there selling dope or robbing banks, it's no ones business. I have followed your channel from the beginning. I see through the videos how your family grows and flourishes. I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. You guys don't hide it. You put it out there for others to learn from as you have. I respect your choices of moving out of the city and raising your children in nature. I admire the courage it took you guys to drop it all and move someplace completely new and start all over. The determination to see your dream though is admirable! It doesn't matter what anyone thinks except for the ones involved, you and your family. Keep leading the way and paving the road for others to learn to follow their dreams. And I will comfortably sit here and watch the videos and support you. By the way... Is Neveah still interested in cooking? I have shelves of cookbooks covering everything from soups to desserts to vegan and paleo diets and I would be glad to share them with her to further her interest and skill.

[@donna1018]

I agree with many who’ve commented, it actually isn’t anyones business! I just enjoy your videos!😊

I agree it really does not matter how much money you make or anything else. The fact of the matter is you guys put out great content and it is a pleasure to get to know you guys and to see what you're doing.

[@jtwhite2084]

Thanks for the behind the scenes view into being a KZbin creator.

[@Lex_Koncord]

You took a chance on KZbin, investing a LOT of time, energy and effort before you ever saw it paying off. You work hard, you make parts of your private life public, you sacrifice. And NOW you get paid well for it. I don't understand the problem? We're happy for you (most of us I guess, ignore those that are ignorantly jealous) Keep doing what you're doing for as long as you both want to be doing it... we'll enjoy the ride with you as long as we're a part of it.

[@juliericheson222]

[@jameswulzen590]

It's a lot of work and to gain sponsors along the way it's an effort. I don't have a pod cast but would like to have one because I know there are people out there that would be interested. I like watching you and see as you go along ( local boy makes good ) your path. I'm just aware of the cost of everything out there and as a builder here in Hawaii ( on my own stuff now only ) In a wheelchair I have slowed down big time and just work on what I can at a local level. I know what the price of lumber is here and I check on loads on the mainland and it is less but still expensive. I love to watch you all and keep up the views, I'm 84, Aloha.

[@jinxie228]

I've been on KZbin since 2006 and made some money from it a few times but a lot of us stopped making videos years ago when the KZbin's model changed and became more of a gimmick.. the thumbnails that look so stupid, and the gimmicky titles for bait. BUT that being said, we also hunt out great content and ignore the gimmick crap. I do the same thing on KZbin that I do when watching TV, I mute the commercials or skip the ads.

[@damoncanfield8142]

Your channel is probably my favorite and the real you always shines through. Question on the YT ads, I have a premium account to get passed those. Do you still make something on YT premium views? I think the stigma around what a youtuber makes is in part due to the human nature of getting something for free. Many people will feel offended if someone made a profit for something they "paid for" by spending an hour watching it. Luckily for your fans, you can make a living doing what you love and we get the benefit of being part of that. Thanks again!

Yes, creators get a premium payment each month, but it's a bit less. I think it's great though, enjoy KZbin the way that you want as a viewer. It's a nice option to have.

I love you guys. Don't stop making videos. I treasure your family and your videos. What you do for work, and what you make financially is NOBODY'S BUSINESS. How rude can people get! This is FREE Entertainments...I'm just Grateful for your contributions! BTW, I don't mind the ads at all...I take that time to read all the comments.
