how YouTube changed my life (and why you should start)

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

Finally saw this: well said brother, and thanks so much for the shout out!! Congrats on the milestone man.

[@MikeChudley]

Ah thanks man! Appreciate the comment

[@jamiewindsor]

Congratulations on the milestone.

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks Jamie, that’s greatly appreciated.

[@oddittydotco]

Congrats on this milestone 👏! This video is helping me push through the ‘shouting into the void with no one really watching’ stage that you mention, thank you 🙏.

[@MikeChudley]

Glad you enjoyed this. As long as the content is good (quality) and the message is valuable (valuable being, entertaining or educational or interesting etc etc) then eventually the right people will find it. Stick with it and enjoy the process ✌️

[@oddittydotco]

@@MikeChudley Thanks for the words of encouragement, I really enjoy creating and am learning to just trust the process 🙏.

[@RyanKorea]

This video was fantastic. Congratulations on 100k. As someone who is trying to start KZbin more seriously (and also started with a CoD channel like 17 years ago) I am going to rewatch this video often. There's some really good advice here. Thanks for the insights.

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks! Pleased you like it

[@samhillsmithify]

I personally love your videos with your with James Sinclair. Surprised that channel hasn’t exploded yet

[@ChrisHunt4497]

Well done. So many of the other photography content creators are backing down from boredom, it is great to see someone who is young and passionate who can take their place. Good for you, and great for us. Thanks. 😊😊😊😊

[@MikeChudley]

Ahhh that’s so kind of you to say. That really made me smile.

[@timjamiesonphotos]

Great video, Mike! Will hopefully end up with that silver play button eventually 👌🏻

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks man! I don’t doubt you’ll make it happen ✌️

[@jessewillem]

Congratulations mate! that's a fantastic milestone. I've been chipping away at my POV photography channel and the results are slowly building, it's good to hear this. It takes time but you never know if you don't try! ❤

[@crocodileteet9837]

Congrats mate

[@ofthenearfuture]

Congrats! 100k is a huge milestone

[@Danperry1110]

Great video mate, congratulations on 100k. Your videos were the first I came across few years ago when I first started photography, good to see your channel thrive.

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks Dan! Appreciate the support.

Wow, congratulations Mike! Pretty cool milestone alright-well done 😎✌️🍻

[@RolandKaufmann]

Congratulations on 100K. That’s a massive achievement. You’ve been an inspiration to keep making my photography content. I’m 2% of the way to that number haha.

[@mmoreels]

[@MikeChudley]

Cheers mate - I look forward to commenting on your 100k video 👌

[@davidherring]

@@MikeChudley haha see you in 2036.

[@theaurumtheory]

Congrats Mike!

[@MikeChudley]

Thank you!

[@developingtank]

This video is so good to see from someone in the same genre. So much of the how to grow on KZbin content is very clickbaity and in your face, so respect for making something much more practical and relaxed. I agree that the practical view of money made from KZbin is underrated. If I could ever make enough for tickets, coffee, and film on here I’d be happy. Congrats on the 100k mark. You’ve always come across as a genuine nice dude. That and all the work, effort, and consistency means it’s well deserved.

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks man! Appreciate your thoughts and totally agree! If it can pay for film - you're winning! It's only up from there. I look forward to commenting on your 100k video.

[@donjagoe]

Loved that-inspired!

[@ricotheworkingcockerspaniel]

Great video Mike, I'm just at the start of my youtube journey, am monetised but not even hit my first payment threshold yet ! just invested in a newer, better go-pro upgrade to make better content of me and my little daft working dog, out doing what we love, loving creating the content more than anything, if it grows then so be it... meh, not even bothered, just doing it for the love of it 😄

[@Spitwrath]

Fantastic achievement, well deserved.

[@n8rboy]

Congrats on the milestone!

[@MikeChudley]

Appreciate that ✌️

[@nicomolina]

I think this video motivated me to star my own channel, thanks mann

[@MikeChudley]

Love to hear that! Thank you

[@MarcoBlanke]

So much value in this. Thank you!

[@hughrawson]

So valuable Mike. As someone who is three videos in and at the thin end of screaming into the void, it’s great to hear your experienced voice talking back. Thanks mate.

[@jackdarren9210]

Congrats from Alabama USA.

[@cambermedia]

Chuddddds! It's been a few years man since I last caught one of your videos (haven't been on this account for a while) - great to see you're still offering that helping hand to the community!

[@philipvernon_photography]

Congratulations! Well deserved as it’s clear you are a hard working individual. I did actually meet you last year when Dan Baker was organising an event. It’s obvious that you’re passionate about photography and clear that you wish to help others and that’s admirable 👏 All the best for the future and look forward to useful content going forward.

[@ZenoWatson]

Well done Mike

[@MikeChudley]

Thank you!!

[@TadasPetrokas]

Thanks for sharing this, Mike! 🙌🏻👊🏻😉

[@MikeChudley]

My pleasure!

[@soichimurakami4976]

Congratulations!! I’m not surprised at all. Your contents are so inspiring 👍🏼

[@melvilib]

Congratulations Mike👍

[@CameraNostalgiaClub]

Congrats on 100k mate you deserve it! You’ve been a big inspiration for myself and watching your videos have given me a kick up the arse to get consistent with it multiple times 😂🤝 really been on it this year and everything your saying is spot on 👌 keep smashing it bro 📸💪

[@michaelwplant]

Good Video Mike.

[@MikeChudley]

Thank you Michael!

[@MilmidStudios]

Congrats Mike!!! Loving the dream!🎉

[@IntrovertAmateur]

So well deserved Mike - congrats mate! Your journey and message is really inspiring to continue my YT journey. I'm currently in the void phase and appreciate any view and comment I get slowly growing. Ideally at someday the ad sense pays for day care of my two kids :D. But until then I do it for fun because I love cameras :)

[@adam_kozlowski]

Keep it going 😊

[@Ryuzoo17]

Congratulasions broo,sorry to late😂

[@UlyssesGrantParm]

Let’s go! Congrats!

[@dannypengellymedia]

Congratulations on the milestone!🎉 I’m 27, upcoming photographer, is it too late for me to start creating KZbin videos?

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks! And it's definitely not too late - KZbin is getting better for creators as the years go on.

[@dannypengellymedia]

@@MikeChudley okay, I’m heading out for some aviation photography tomorrow at my local airport. I may get a video recorded and post to see how it goes 😁

[@Stuffed007]

Your client and brand deals may give you a living ,but your KZbin channel is not ,social blade is very very accurate website and your particular channel makes a maximum of £5800 per year according to social blade .

[@MikeChudley]

Social Blade is off by about £2k on the Adsense front - I'd happily send you a screenshot if you needed. You're obviously passionate about it. Here's the deal, the brands are paying for the KZbin channel. However much KZbin charge the advertisers isn't in my control but the price I charge for a sponsored video is absolutely in my control.

[@byigit86]

congrats. 100k is amazing I had a channel only 4k subs in 2 years. I quit it
