How I got monetized on YouTube organically. THE REAL DEAL.

Congratulations Rock! A lot of big stuff this year for you like 1k subs and releasing your film on KZbin. Glad that you were able to monetize your channel/videos. Like the description mentions, I recognize the strive for quality in each video you make, and looking forward to anything else you have coming in the future for viewers of the channel.

@@onison8533 thank you, I really appreciate that. Only took me five years. :-) I look at this as starting all over again, headed for the next mountain, and I look forward to the growth. I really appreciate all the support, and I don’t take any of it for granted. Thanks again, and have a beautiful day.

Congratulation, knew you would get there with your daily persistence. Thanks.

@@steveschnetzler5471 thank you so much, Steve! I really appreciate the support and the constant good energy, means a lot to me. Onward we go.

Congrats! This seemed like a very important goal for you and you got it! A lot of hard work by you...

[@RockWILK]

@@judsonbertoch7928 yes, I've been working at it for 5 years, trying to get to this one goal. Now that I got here, I will share honestly what it means financially. At least for a Channel of my size. I can't speak for people who've got numbers so beyond what my numbers are, but I can at least share what it is for somebody who's got statistics similar to mine. And so onward we go!

Bravo! Fanfare! 🎺You made it. You climbed to the top of the mountain. - And you did not cheat by clickbait, you did not do it by inflammatory posting, or trash-talk. You did it with integrity, kindness, respect, honesty and bravery - by being vulnerable. In essence, - you beat the algorithm that thrives on sensation and conflict, by persistence, endurance and original content. So enjoy this moment, this is your sweet victory. And shout out to your niece, tell her to hold her head high - anyone who serve their country, armed troops or civilian, (like firefighters) should not worry about old men's opinions. They have their respect from the majority of the people, that's what counts. 🥁🥁🥁

Ahh, thanks for this, so awesome. Time to begin again now and take advantage of the opportunity, but I can promise you I'll stay ME all along the way, no matter what. We'll see how far doing this organically can go, because the other part I can promise is to work hard at it and not leave anything out on the field. Time will tell, one day at a time, and thanks for the kind words for my niece. Uncertain times for any woman in this country. So sad and infuriating. She's not one to give up though, so the world has no idea what kind of power comes back at you when you try to keep powerful women down. FAAFO. ;) Thanks again, and onward we go!!!

Huge congratulations on getting. monetized. Judith sounds like a cool girl. I feel the same way about social media fostering conflict and bringing out the worst in people. Although I do post on Threads because I find it Is not as toxic as X has become. People share openly more than I ever saw on X/Twitter. You still see some people attacking others and their ideas. But, I just block those people and move on. While social media can be bad, I still think it's a good outlet if we focus on making our own commentary fair and kind. Ignore the haters. Social media may always be around. So, why not work with it and do my part to encourage kindness and openness for others to reach out to. KZbin is a good platform. I think some content creators, like corporate media, seem to get preferential treatment. But, that doesn't stop me from creating for my own channel. For myself, I am mainly focusing on creating content when I can with whatever tools I have. I may not get monetized anytime soon. But, I'm fine with using the KZbin platform to share my ideas, thoughts and projects. Thanks for your commentary and for always keeping it real and honest. I wish you much more success and prosperity now that you're monetized. Onward and upward!

@@AllThingsFilm1 thank you so much for this and for the constant support. Personally, I find myself more and more moving further and further away from social media other than here. And I don't consider KZbin social media really. And also, I try not to get caught up thinking about what other content creators are getting or doing, I do enjoy watching other people's videos and learning from them, hearing other perspectives and seeing other people's work, but I don't get caught up in the minutiae of statistics. I find the best part of KZbin is the fact that we can use it as a tool for free to post things and to improve our filmmaking. On so many levels. And again, it's free to do that, so I can't understand that value, at least for me. But this was a goal for me, and it took me 5 years of hard work, and now I want to see what actually happens, and I will share every step of the way to let you know what it means to be monetized if you have statistics similar to mine. Obviously I'm a tiny channel in the grand scheme of things, but still, I got here, I'm going to get paid, and I'll let you all know what the hard work will bring you if you actually get to the top of that first mountain. I have to admit, for me, and the way I always have been, I feel like now it's time to start all over again and pick a higher mountain to climb. And so onward we go! Time to evolve, time to grow, time to find new and interesting creative explorations.
