Revealing My Youtube Earnings (Quitting Youtube)

I truly appreciate the kind words and support during this major change. I recently made a video with this new concept that channel is taking on in NYC! Would mean the world to me if you checked it out. 🙈 kzbin.info/www/bejne/n161nJSjhdyph9U

[@ChrisDAndrealifestyledesign]

I love the change of scenery/camera angles throughout the video! Excited to see the new direction of your channel in the future 🙌

[@BrianVelez]

Thank you brother! Definitely excited for the future. Let’s see when this pandemic allows for more opportunity of travel 😆 hence why I’ve been working on that finance channel in the time being. Would be great to work together!

[@LindseyDara]

Thanks for sharing! I think its realistic and smart to adapt and change. I realize alot of big KZbinrs I watched when they were just starting, they just recycle the same content over and over and I just stop watching after a while, but the ones who kinda move on to new content, i enjoy and continue to watch. Like Shameless maya, she is one of my original KZbinrs I watched and she is constantly evolving her content. I think this is a smart move for your channel. Congrats on the new directions! Looking forward to the new content!!

[@BrianVelez]

It would be silly for us as humans to keep ourselves constraint. We are forever growing and changing. Going against the grain won’t do us any favors. I think people often let that inner child just sit in the dark, and it sucks. Thank you for all the kind words and I won’t let you down 😄

[@saranissen6210]

You are such a nice person, and I don't mind you changing the content of the channel to you making more travel/every day life based videos, so I'm sticking around for sure. I understand it can be hard with copyrights and stuff to run a reaction channel, so it's understandable, and since creating you own content has been your dream, then go for it. 🙂

[@BrianVelez]

You are too kind ❤️ I appreciate that. It was nice while the reaction series happened, but I’m certain by making this change, that I’ll be able to live another 10 years on KZbin. Thank you for hearing me out, and supporting. It means the world to me ❤️

[@szepmiklos-mihaj4160]

Hi Brian. I really loved your style of making video. I also loved the fact that i can find new music checking out your videos. Wish you luck on your next project!

[@BrianVelez]

Thank you very much 😆 I’m glad you’ve been finding new music while watching! Very excited to go on this new journey. 🙌🏼

[@GabrielaPineda]

I think people have no idea how much work goes into creating a video because as a viewer, it seems like a very basic task. I'm learning this now that I'm starting with my own channel. Good luck on this new chapter and can't wait to check out your future videos!

[@BrianVelez]

Definitely! It’s very different to be a viewer and a creator. I’ve been a viewer for the majority of my life and it was until these last 3 years where my vision shifted. And just a few months ago this idea of putting better quality into my work, clicked. I wish you nothing but the best on your endeavor and a lot of future success! Take your time with it and enjoy the process 😄

[@GabrielaPineda]

@@BrianVelez Thanks! Same to you as well.

[@adricruz9740]

Let’s go !! take me to your trips. You have an amazing talent and I am sticking with you. Change is part of life. Our minds, perspectives, goals, dreams changes, and it is OK! Because it is how we grow! We got to go after new horizons in order to evolve.

Good stuff Brian. Good luck with the new direction. I knew that musicians didn’t make much from streaming services through my own music ventures, but dammm bro didn’t know all that hard work you put in was generating so little. Wish you the best on the new adventure

[@BrianVelez]

It wasn’t all to waste. It taught me how to be responsible, and put more effort into creating. If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have ever met so many amazing people along the way, and not to mention, I would have never found a community in which I felt so welcomed. This is a new step along my journey to where ever it may lead. Still looking forward to seeing you guys play live again! Modern Day Outlaw kicks heavy ass 🤘🏼

@@BrianVelez You know what's funny, I was actually going to edit that into my previous comment haha Top 3 are The Endless Adventure, Lost Leblanc and Kara & Nate.

Sometimes I just go with the flow and I'm still new to being in front of the camera, haven't done it much yet. I bet it does feel great, at least you have plenty of subs to spare a few.

@@BrianVelez wow, and you been doing it for some time. Well I wish you good luck on your journey. The editing does take so much time. I do it for the fun of meeting subscribers and just making content. The money I make is infinitesimal. One day it might be enough for part time work. Idk. Haha
