[@gingeredwardsofficial]

Even after a year, this is what I needed to hear! Thanks for all the tips Jeremy!

[@CentralOregonSurvival]

You did well brother!!! Your videos are really well done now, amazing… a lot of people don’t put on the time like you did…

[@805BBQJUNKIE]

Gotta be honest with you my brother after watching you explain all this stuff on KZbin I've been frustrated with my bbq channel it doesn't grow fast enough lol but you broke it down for me just wanted to say a big THANK YOU BRO!!!

[@Gzickgraf]

Initially found your videos a few years ago on how to build an office desk and the office tech tour when you had ~30k subscribers. It has been amazing to see the journey of both you and your channel!

[@KillCoMentalMusings]

I didn't start making content with any hopes of doing... well anything with it really. At best I wanted to document my initial experiences as I venture into trying different types of whiskey. As time went by I found myself in the KZbin whiskey community with people actually subscribing and donating to my channels growth. I've been unemployed for over ten years due to my mental illness, and having this outlet and support has really helped me get through this past terrible year. Now I am doing live streams twice a week and making one video every week with multiple bottles and samples to get through thanks to the generous whiskey community. 🖖😎🥃

[@realtampapickle]

That’s awesome. I’ll come check you out

[@rickrjw]

Nice to see authentic KZbinrs like Jeremy talk about when they started and how awkward it was talking to a camera. I can relate!!

[@salcapone7466]

Bro.... you are the shit. Thank you for the inspiration. Watching this video is exactly what I needed to get off my ass and start doing some shit. Not to mention the quality of your filming, editing, and content, is enough to inspire anyone. Thanks again and I appreciate the time and effort you put into your work. Keep at it.

[@dollardivya]

Really enjoyed your journey to become a full time youtuber and your tips. Your story telling is awesome and engaging. Keep doing the good job. All the best for your future endeavors.

[@TysenWebb]

Speaking of courses...I’d love to see your editing workflow, and how you shoot your videos. Your vids are gorgeous!

[@JeremySiers]

Thanks man!!

[@the_Mike_McCoy]

I've been watching since the early days, and I'm stoked to see someone that's at least close to my age (50) in the game! Still in the hobby phase now, but I enjoy the piss out of it!

[@AnneDaleHomestead]

Thank you for the information, we are in the very beginning of our KZbin adventure. I appreciate your straight talk.

[@JeremySiers]

Good luck and keep going! 😉👍🏻

[@soundingrooves]

Very cool Video and great Channel. Great Information for people who are getting into KZbin like me.

[@carsgolfcigars]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Great advise. I’m in my third full year of creating content and my channel just became Montez. But I’m in this game for the long haul......Thank you

[@JeremySiers]

Keep at it man! 😉👍🏻

[@carsgolfcigars]

Definitely.....I’ve been watching your channel for around a year now. Always great real to yourself content. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I would definitely like to get you for a interview on my channel to have cigar conversation

[@tombuck]

I think I found your channel right at the 10K thank you video. It’s been super fun to see the journey!

[@JeremySiers]

Thanks brotha!!! Big fan of your stuff also Tom. Always check in on your channel for all the great audio equipment info. Top notch content man. 👍🏻

[@JHawk]

So many good tips. I'm grinding to build mine as a side hustle and we will see where it goes down the road! Cheers Jeremys

[@JeremySiers]

Keep after it man! 😉👍🏻

[@EnzoTavs]

Finally, somebody being honest about hardware and the fact that it does matter -- Especially in this ever-growing and massive KZbin space. Thank you, Thank you!!!

[@tobebrockner]

I found your channel about 2 years ago when I was going through a really rough time. I had a lot of personal/relationship things happening with family, my business had just imploded, and I was in a bad spot emotionally and mentally. Your videos were a respite at the end of a long string of really stressful days. It was just a way for me to disconnect with all the BS going on. So, thank you for showing up. Thank you for doing what you do. It helped me get through it all and for that I’ll always be grateful to you.

[@JeremySiers]

Man that is nice to hear. Super pumped the vids helped you though a rough patch. Keep your chin up and keep hammering brotha. 😉👍🏻

[@kevinunger8511]

Hi Jeremy. I’ve been with you since the early days and am still with you. Not every topic appeals to me but I watch anyway - because I really like your style and perhaps similar to other followers, I feel I’ve really gotten to know you over all this time. You’ve led me to the purchase of some very cool things, which isn’t always easy because being from Canada (Toronto), they cost me 30% more plus (sometimes) taxes and duty. All in all, you are one of my favourites, so thank you for being You and being a positive and entertaining part of my life.

[@CarlMurawski]

Excellent video man, thank you for the insights!

[@RhysAngulatta]

Love this kind of vid Jeremy it's really useful, thank you!! I started my channel in January at the ripe age of 31 mainly to get into cinematography and it's been a load of fun so far 😊

[@JeremySiers]

Keep after it man! 😉👍🏻

[@HerTwoWheels]

Perfect tips!! I loved this video!

[@ScottUrbach]

Jess - big fan of your channel. Have been a sub for a couple months. You actually inspired me to make a few motovlogs on my channel. Really enjoy your content

[@f3rthegamer1]

More power to you man💯🙏🏻

[@TabAtl]

You’ve done a great job. Even if the content is something that I’m not necessarily in to, I usually really enjoy the video. You’re an entertaining dude.

[@JeremySiers]

Thanks man! 😉👍🏻

[@MotomojoFL]

Awesome advice. Still in the hobby phase of my channel. Learning a lot from just watching your vids! Thanks for putting this one out there. It would be cool, since you show your desk in a lot of vids, if you’d talk about the equipment you use for recording, editing and the process. Great job on the editing by the way! Love it!

[@ScottUrbach]

Thanks Jeremy. You have been a huge inspiration for me and my channel - for some obvious reasons!

[@JeremySiers]

Love hearing it man!! Keep on getting after it! 😉👍🏻

So awesome you’re able to do this full time!!! If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life! Congrats brother keep on growing!

[@stoker653]

Love hearing the story of how you went full time and took the leap. Well deserved and looking forward to many more years of content! Been following you since back in the day and was able to watch the Videos that are no longer published.

[@RafaLases]

Your videos motivate me to keep going with my channel. Amazing content as always Jeremy!

[@Silverback_Yeti]

A cup of coffee and a little Siers makes for a Great way to start off my Sunday. Because of you I’ve started to recorded stuff with my phone. I just haven’t made the videos public yet. I just need to get over the fear of what others might say.

[@Larsschipper93]

For me, it wasn't the fear of what other might say. I just couldn’t get over the awkwardness of talking to a camera. But I did, and it's a fun thing to do now. Publish that video! And then another one!

[@tacoma_jon]

Just do it Timothy. More then likely you’ll never meet anyone who comments, in person. Don’t let something you want to do die because of what someone else might say

[@JeremySiers]

Man just do you and don’t worry about what other folks say. As long as you are happy and being real that is all that matters. 😉👍🏻

[@Silverback_Yeti]

@@JeremySiers Thank you for the encouragement. I made a video this morning and posted it.

[@realtampapickle]

I went the opposite route Tim. Went public immediately and it is awful but I want to be able to reference back to it a year from now and see the progression. As far as the fear goes, who cares about what other people say or think....

[@MarkNealJr]

The tip about getting into storytelling is a great one! It's something I just started working on and it was cool hearing that I'm on the right path.

[@TheSifuentestx]

Came here for the vlog years back. Those kids and dogs are a hoot! Also enjoyed the comical sped up "going to the hardware store" montages. Happy Sunday!

[@christinecamley]

These are fantastic tips, for anyone thinking about starting to You Tube, or even people who have been doing this for awhile. Thanks so much!!

[@MikelHunt]

Loved it man. Very inspiring. I've been doing this almost a year now and struggle with the same things. Started as an interest and turned into a passion but I struggle with the direction I want to go and what to make. The idea of making a living doing something you love keeps driving me but it easily causes me to think about views and likes and making content people will watch rather than what I enjoy!!! The struggle is real!

[@Vardash]

I also remember my first videos, I took them offline too, they were horrible :) Diversity your income is probably one of the best tip in your video, but that doesn't just apply to youtube, it is generally a really good tip :)

[@JaredMarker]

Thank you for these tips...I see a lot of tip videos for being a KZbinr, but this is one of the most genuine, heartfelt videos of the bunch...thank you! Keep doing what you do, bro!

[@midwest0pe]

It’s cool seeing how you’ve come along

[@TylersEclectic]

This is great! I'm on that cusp of being monetized, but I look at any potential income from KZbin to be purely diversified extra "fun" money. I mostly just do my "streams" as a fun way to interact with the communities I'm in (mostly audio, but trying to bring in other hobbies of mine).

Love the channel. Keep doin what your doin so I have great content to watch.

Thanks Jeremy... been watching you for about a year, maybe more & I think this is my first comment (as you say, Marathon not Sprint!). Just wanted to thank you for the great tips, your videos are so watchable & relaxing (even the slightly off-the-wall stuff!). Where your videos stand head & shoulders above others is quality, quality, quality be that in technical ability, style or just good content. Thanks for what you do brother! 👍🏻

[@swissgator6312]

These are great tips! I especially like the one about don't chase money, sponsorship, etc. It's very powerful to be able to pick and choose who one works with. The only equipment I think is really important is whatever gives good audio (even an iPhone corded headset). I can live with subpar video with good audio, but not the other way around. Question: About how many hours a day do you spend editing, filming, etc. and do you miss the social interaction of "going to the office"? Getting to STA at the end of the month....can't wait!

[@adammunger2288]

That intro compilation was phenomenal, nice job

[@TommyD44]

Hey Jeremey...long time listener first time caller ;). Just wanted to give you a shout out brother of how much I appreciate what you're putting out here. Found you when I was looking for videos on the leaf side of what you do and thought "Man, this guy has it going right!" Great videos, great content and just wanted to you know that've you've inspired me to get out of my own way. Best advise in this piece "...just do videos on stuff you enjoy.."

[@JasonMcLemore]

Love your channel man. Interesting to hear how you got where you are. Even if for some reason I was putting in the work to make my channel worth a damn, I'm currently in my 15th year in a career that doesn't exactly lay off. I work for "the man" here in Florida and have a nice retirement package coming my way. I see the end of the road just 10 short years away. I'm still in my early 40's. I'm not much of a risk taker and quitting to go full-time honestly terrifies me. It would have to be the perfect storm. BUT...seeing as how my job sucks the creative juices right out of me, it ain't happening! Oh well, at least I can afford bourbon and cigars.

[@darksideemt]

While I have absolutely no desire to do YT, though now that I'm starting to do camping/overlanding I feel I could, I am so glad that people like you, Taylor and many others I follow did. I will be totally honest as well and I was always kinda against joining people's Patreon until you guys as well and you 2 are the only ones I support. So I will say thinks for taking the leap and doing all this cause it definitely provides good stuff for your followers, and also keeps my wallet hurting cause of the sweet drops you do.....sigh.
