[@reganperry]

Recently passed 1000 subscribers and in the last 2 months it’s stated taking off. I’m so excited, I’m literally days away from monetization eligibility! And today I just received my first brand offer. That’s how I landed here - I don’t know what to do with it, but it feels like this dream is actually becoming a reality!

[@ofmiceandmandrakes1005]

What's the name of your channel

[@GhostLoreYT]

​@@ofmiceandmandrakes1005It's tripled now...over 4k subs

[@JeremyBilbrey]

Hit 240k today. Appreciate you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 24k in August 2024.,,..,

[@HollyGarwell]

I would really love to know how much work you did put in to get to this level

[@JeremyBilbrey]

I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear that you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small Investment, thank you Jihan Wu you're such a life saver

[@GregFunnell-q9f]

I'm favoured, 90K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my communities and also support God's work and the church. God bless America,, thank you Mr Jihan Wu😊🎉

[@JasonHain-z8t]

Waking up every tenth of each month to £210,000 it’s a blessing to I and my family… Big gratitude to this same Jihan Wu🙌

[@RampKevorkian]

Please how can I get in touch with this coach Jihan Wu ? I really need to give him a try

[@ElleMakesAHome]

[@DavesWaysToMakeMoney]

Thanks Sean! This video is very inspirational. I hope one day that my small channel is able to make the level of the money and achieve the level of success as your channel

[@busywithdogs]

[@ThinkMediaPodcast]

Logan is a legend!

[@Spicy248]

Your videos makes me improve on my channel everyday thank you, watching from Kenya 🇰🇪 Africa

[@davisroaddesigns7231]

Going through no support right now in my household. Thinks it’s a get rich quick scheme. Explained that this is a slow build and takes time but they just don’t believe it can be done. I KNOW it can be done and am just going to keep swimming.

[@professorenriquedeferraz]

keep going

[@TheDadLifeDiaries]

I love John Maxwell!

[@activemindsstudios]

We absolutely love your presentation and the genuine nature of wanting to help people ! I can listen to you guys for a long time :)

[@Real-Life-After-70]

Thank you for sharing this information.

[@RachellesCrafts]

I have $1.61 sitting in my Amazon Affiliate account from 2009! I need to get something going to make the minimum so I can finally collect it 😂

[@GillianNevin237]

Nice information ❤

[@ThinkMediaPodcast]

Glad this was valuable!

[@shrinktender]

Awesome video! I really appreciated the tip about maximizing ad revenue through shorter videos, even for smaller channels. As someone with only 39 subscribers, it can feel like monetization is a distant goal, but your practical advice makes it seem more achievable. Thanks for breaking down strategies that work for creators at all stages!

[@CorazonDesignsandpeople]

Golden idean. Thanks Sean❤❤❤

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

An exxtra $2000 is nothing to scoff at. Thats 50% of my income as a firefighter.

[@ReikiMasterCarlie]

[@AmberlieRochelle]

I learn so much on this channel! Thank you, I have 3 precious subscribers yet I believe we can all win!🎉

[@Malgorzata-kc4oy]

pleasure to watch !

[@jeanettemasontv1416]

Hey think media podcast 😁👋

[@Businedu]

FIRE🖤

[@BrentCox2B]

I have kept grinding at my 9-5 so I can try to keep things stable for my family so my wife was fine with me starting my youtube and even encouraged me, but it's been such a huge time sink, I will edit for 3-5 hours on Saturday and Sunday and sometimes she will just sit next to me and I try to not be 100% zoned in so I can at least talk and hang out with her a little bit. Some of my first 15 vids have broken 2K views and so its looking somewhat promising so my wife understands it's an investment. I try to ask her which thumbnail she likes better or how the voice track sounds and really take her feedback seriously so I think she enjoys that a little. But listening to this made think I could include or even utilize her even more somehow

[@batmangames117]

I'm actually gna try so hard at this I just need to get better with every upload

[@holdenludwig]

Weird glitch when you were saying the next Christmas got about --- views 12:19. KZbin didn’t want to hear it.

[@fordtahoma]

Yeah can you tell us the number we want to know it's exciting

[@mistermavix]

😂😂 good strategy tho

[@zaydahmad9169]

Thanks Shaun.. I have a video on my channel with 8 Subs, the video haven't gotten to 100 views and I made $34 with Affiliate Marketing

[@NonaMaryGrace1952]

Love the information you shared. 💕NonnaGrace🐓

[@Sensiual]

Thank you Shawn for sharing your story, knowledge and insights. I've learnt a lot from Think Media. I'll be tuning in for more useful info. 🎀

[@Nikaslifestyle]

I’ve been monetized since 2019 and still haven’t made over $500 a month. And I post daily almost all the time

[@FarmAnimalsShowNZ]

“Isa” think that’s full of a lot of wisdom. (@24 min, I thought Sean has forgotten to speak English? But then I understood.😅)

[@TikTokUnlockedEntertainment]

Small youtubers let support one another! We got this!!!

[@FoundationBibleStudies]

I love Sean, you’re such a great blessing, in Jesus Name😊.

[@chrisalupului]

Biggest takeaway for me is the mentality takeaway, especially about not being discouraged even with that little voice in the back of your head, whispering

[@littlebitahomestead6891]

I did two product reviews that pertained to my channel and the algorithm HALTED me!!! The people KZbin put my videos in front of was drastically lower than my other videos! Even the one in between the two review videos! It fixed itself eventually but it definitely changed things! Can this be a problem in some niches?

[@TEG_S]

Small channel here. Looking for growth and support. Thank you for your videos! 😀❤️‍🔥

[@circlesdigital]

Does Affiliate marketing still work?

[@AutoHeadz]

Yes.

[@taniaandreea]

Any travel youtubers here that wants to make a group 28:41 ?

[@groovybubbles]

Me! I’m in the travel niche and would love to be part of a group!!

[@realinfocomparison]

💸 These 6 tips are a game-changer for small creators! 🙌 Can’t wait to try them out and start growing my income on KZbin. Who else is ready to make 2024 their year?

[@inspiringtone2975]

To sell on you tube don’t you need 500 subscribers and 3000 watch hrs???? Even for affiliate marketing?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

I was referring to fan funding and access to shopping features … Share a breakdown from Google of the levels and requirements …

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Here's a breakdown: Level 1: 500 subscribers + 3,000 watch hours (or 3 million Shorts views) * Access to: * Fan Funding: This includes features like channel memberships, Super Thanks, Super Chat, and Super Stickers. These allow your fans to directly support you financially. * KZbin Shopping: You can tag products in your videos and earn a commission on sales. Level 2: 1,000 subscribers + 4,000 watch hours (or 10 million Shorts views) * Access to: * All Level 1 benefits * Ad Revenue: This is the big one! You start earning money from ads displayed on your videos. * KZbin Premium Revenue: You get a share of the subscription fees from KZbin Premium members who watch your content. Important Notes: * KZbin Shopping Affiliate Marketing: There's no specific subscriber or watch time requirement for this. As mentioned above, you get access to KZbin Shopping features at Level 1 of the KZbin Partner Program (500 subscribers + 3,000 watch hours). * Eligibility Requirements: Besides subscribers and watch time, you also need to meet other requirements like adhering to KZbin's monetization policies, having an AdSense account, and living in a country/region where the KZbin Partner Program is available. In summary: The first level of monetization on KZbin focuses on fan funding and shopping features, while the second level unlocks the main revenue sources: ads and KZbin Premium revenue. You can start with affiliate marketing through KZbin Shopping once you reach the first level. - from Google Gemini

[@ParteraQuisqueyana]

I had an affiliate link on my first video, no issues. Just mark that you have a paid promotion.

[@TheDadLifeDiaries]

Do you think a "lifestyle" channel can be successful today?

[@paintbase]

TL;DR needed -_-

[@SnoutCedar]

The best strategy I've found for myself is to beg and demean myself for pity-views. I'll take any y'all are willin' to give. I ain't proud.

[@SheSoReRe]

I'll pass😂

[@SnoutCedar]

@SheSoReRe That's fine. Ol' Snout is used to it.

[@SnoutCedar]

​@@SheSoReReThat's a'ight. I'm used to it

[@ParteraQuisqueyana]

Gotta do what you gotta do 😂

[@SnoutCedar]

@@ParteraQuisqueyana see? You get it!

[@RMcatholic1959]

These people help to make bezos rich and you poorer. They are part of the problem. Mom and pop shops going broke because of these people. Good luck spending eternity in hall.
