How Much I Spend Per Month On $200K Worth Of Toyotas | Is It Worth It?

[@TRDJon]

Thanks everyone for your support! I appreciate you all. Get after whatever it is you want in life. You determine your future. Have a great productive week!

[@patrickvasquez2415]

Props for being so transparent with KZbin pay. I wish more creators would do this.

[@TRDJon]

Always man! Thank you so much for the support!

[@andyleo8418]

Why? Who cares what they make? I don't understand why people feel creators owe them something. Weird.

[@elputoamo5686]

@@andyleo8418it's not that they owe us something we simply just wanna know how much they make since it varies creator to creator!

[@ColoradoForestBeings]

@@andyleo8418I agree people need to mind their own business

[@patrickvasquez2415]

@@andyleo8418 A lot of people want to be KZbinrs or pursue other side hustles. Just like any career or job finances is a really important part of it so I think it’s cool that a KZbinr is being realistic with what their channel is earning vs some of the expenses that come with it. He doesn’t owe anyone that but he chose to share it which I thought was really cool.

[@TRDJon]

Thanks for your support!!!!

[@TroutWest]

KZbin really is just about picking a niche and running with it. The niche definitely has to already have a large draw, but you can literally pick anything you want and make money on it. Most of the channels that have a lot of subscribers don't really know much about their topic that they've picked but they make the effort and that's all you really need to do. Congrats on the success. I hope you keep going.

[@TRDJon]

I will!! Well put too. Thank you!

[@HungNguyen-jq2lx]

Someone gives this guy a medal 🥇 for his transparency & honesty!

[@dolfinsdynasty]

This is literally why this is my FAVORITE KZbin channel. Thanks for you, you’ve inspired me to get my first 4Runner, Tacoma, and now the Tundra 🙏🏻 wishing you plenty more success!

[@TRDJon]

That is awesome! I hope you are liking them!!!!!

Happy for you Bro! Been following your channel for awhile now! You were instrumental in our family deciding to go with the 23’ TRD Off-Road Sequoia! It’s been great for us and our families needs! You deserve every single dollar that you earn! Love your content and you’re always on top of everything Toyota/Lexus and have that positive vibe! This might be my favorite video so far, I truly respect you being so open and honest! Thanks again Jon! 🙏🏽🤙🏽

Awesome! Thank you! I'm glad the Sequoia is working out for you all even with some of its pros and cons. Thats awesome! Thank you so much for your support! Have a great week!

[@TRDJon]

Thanks so much. You still have it?

[@AbdelazizAlQaroot]

I was happily shocked to how transparent you were about the youtube pay and how you weren’t making any time wasting introductions about it like many other creators out there.. Props to you man, you just won another subscriber 👊🏼

[@TRDJon]

Hey thank you so much!

[@richardwarfield7386]

Jon - you are absolutely right. I have my own business and still had a side hustle to make extra. Its what I wanted and I did it - and I made it. I retire at the end of the year. I put my mind to it and I worked hard - Lots of nights and weekends but my wife and I will be comfortable in retirement. I have had as many as 4 Toyotas at one time.

[@THirayama]

Jon, as you've seen, I always appreciate your content. As you grow as a youtuber, remember to keep your feet on the ground and humble the way you are. Keep up the good work!

[@TRDJon]

Exactly why I made this video for those who are stuck. Thank you so much for the continued support!

[@hawkeshots]

Thank you! It’s interesting to know how content creators are being paid by KZbin and other media! It is awesome that this is a venue for you to make money and I am happy to watch any ads that might show up so that you are paid as I enjoy your videos! I would only say that I’ll look for you on Patreon!

[@alabamafbfan1985]

Very cool of you to share how much you made on KZbin. That’s always interesting to me. The metrics and How much videos make. I hope it keeps going well for you. That’s awesome.

Great video! Thanks for revealing all this. I think the key thing you said is “you love doing this”. That’s why you are able to continue to grind, it’s a ton of work IF you don’t enjoy it, but it does make it more rewarding when you love the niche…regardless of money.
