How much YouTube paid us the first month of being monetized

[@AudreyLynnStudios]

I want to add, your kind spirits just shine through everything I see on KZbin. Kim, you have the gift, not only of pottery, but of words. You express yourself and send the kind message through your words. Thanks for sharing them.

[@undsethpottery]

That's so kind of you to say, thank you. 😊

[@suzanne3OH]

I agree with you about my non potter friends, they listen politely but I can see their eyes glaze over when I talk pottery. You tube is a delightful place to connect with those who enjoy pottery.

[@undsethpottery]

Right 😂 Love our community!

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

I really appreciate this video just as much as your kiln unloadings. I've only just started my KZbin journey with my pottery and I am 45. I can't wait to see my first $3 KZbin income 😄

[@undsethpottery]

So glad it was helpful for you! I will check out your channel! Happy YouTubing 😊

[@seahorseceramics]

I just started following you and enjoy your videos. Jessica

[@AudreyLynnStudios]

Oh my goodness! This is my story, too! I saw the first pennies come in and I couldn't believe it! Anyway, not going into it here, thanks for this great video! Have a safe trip!

[@undsethpottery]

It’s fun isn’t it 😊

[@seahorseceramics]

I totally agree with the sense of community. I feel like the video makers I watch regularly, like you, are 'friends' in some manner. Great info about KZbin, I've wondered!

[@undsethpottery]

Yes it totally feels like you know them, I love that!

[@joannpounders5567]

Congrats on your KZbin success! Your story is very inspiring.😃 Happy Birthday Todd! 🎂 I find kiln unloading videos helpful in learning how glaze combos look and move, so always look forward to your videos. They are well done. Thanks for sharing!!

[@undsethpottery]

Thank you so much 😊

[@anasclayhouse]

Great video Kim and Todd, thanks for sharing your monetization. I was the same way the first $3 I’ve made! It’s funny to be excited with such a small amount. But as with many of us we see the potential!🥰🙏🏻 Happy birthday to Todd!🎉🎉🎉

[@undsethpottery]

Thank you 😊

[@annemariegrant8219]

Happy Birthday Todd! Enjoy your day in the big city! Next time you go to Plainsmen, take a video. Would love to see their operation!

[@undsethpottery]

Thank you! Todd had planned on taking some video and then forgot all about it, next time!

[@PerrinPottery]

I think this is great! Congratulations. I also appreciate your advice, I often film some things then just delete them because I’m so critical of myself. Anyways, thank you! 😊

[@undsethpottery]

That’s what Todd does, I say post it, you never know what will inspire someone else 😊

[@jenniferliddicoat8962]

I am an intermediate potter in northeastern BC (trying to fit it in around working full time a raising our family). I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. You are both entertaining and provide great pottery inspiration! Keep up the great work!

[@undsethpottery]

Thank you so much 😊

[@christineford6763]

I am from Dawson Creek :) just doing pottery for fun for a few years . Yes thanks Kim and Todd … so fun

[@Sharonruthpottery]

Happy birthday Todd. I’m so pleased your your you tube channel is growing , you are pleasant to watch . The pottery community is a lovely one , everyone is so kind, helpful and happy to share . I’ve done one pottery video about what came out of my new kiln and I enjoy it. I’m not a business, just a happy new potter, so it’s just for fun.

[@undsethpottery]

Thank you Sharon! Good for you, keep the videos coming 😊

[@karinagilbert791]

Love your encouragement and enthusiasm! How fun to shop for pottery supplies for your birthday. Sounds like my favorite kind of day. Happy birthday Todd!

[@undsethpottery]

Thank you! Yes it was a good day, Costco and pottery, my favorite places 😊

[@littleflower.business]

There is a button underneath the video that is composed of three dots this is a menu and when you click on it you will see a heart with a $ in it and the words: thanks. This is where people can donate and buy a 'super thanks'

[@undsethpottery]

Oooh thank you, so it’s kind of hidden, I was thinking there would be a button that said thanks!

[@patspotpage]

I love this!!!! Happy birthday Todd!!! Kim, you're right. The pottery community is so welcoming and giving. KZbin is a place where us potters can connect, share and learn from each other. Thanks for posting this. Not many talk about the work it takes to build a channel. It's a whole other skillset! If there are two things I would pick as my least favorite, it's glazing and video editing. 🤣. But the comments that I...we...get on our posts make the tedium worth while. That's why I try to comment on all the videos, from all the content providers. You two keep up the good work!! And thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

[@undsethpottery]

Thank you! My least favorite is handles, which I’m doing right now! I really don’t mind editing, sitting and drinking coffee is always fun 😊

[@patspotpage]

@@undsethpottery LOL, agree on the drinking coffee! Handles are on my so-so list. As I get better at them, they're moving higher up the list.

[@LauraSmith-q6c]

I love your videos and your pottery. Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration to us hobby potters.

[@undsethpottery]

Thank you 😊

I’ve been wondering how this went for you! Congratulations!!! You so deserve it. I really enjoy your videos!! Happy Birthday Todd!! My bday was the 24th!!

Love the videos❤ I would enjoy seeing Medicine Hat and the plainsman clay store and what they have there as content😊

[@undsethpottery]

I will have to do that next time we go!

[@BackcountryMedia]

DJI wireless mics are awesome. We love ours, we have a few sets. Pro tip… you can use their magnet to keep the mic under your shirts, the receiver still picks it up and then it’s not as obvious in the shot.

[@janesshoeboxstudio5829]

Happy Birthday Todd! I hope you both had an awesome day.

[@undsethpottery]

Thank you! It was a good one! 😊

[@FunkyPhish]

Thank you so much for the information. My husband and I are looking hard at having a pottery business.

[@undsethpottery]

You are welcome! I might do a video later on how we grew our business!

[@colonialhearthandhome]

yeah, my family and friends' eyes glaze over when I start talking pottery anything... (pun was not intended but it works)

[@undsethpottery]

Totally works 😂

[@littleflower.business]

and you can multi stream too do your live on facebook and youtube at the same time

[@undsethpottery]

For Facebook, because it’s mostly customers, we don’t go into glazes and how we glaze, they just want to see what comes out of the kiln! So it doesn’t really work to do them at the same time!

[@littleflower.business]

@@undsethpottery thats smart you know your customers
