I am truly blessed with an amazing wife. We got 5 kids and i work full time and still have been blessed to make youtube content. Simple fact you have to love it

[@Jblaylock777]

Please do a part two if you can. I learned so much in this one. Thank you for taking your time to make it. 👍🏼

[@hhamilton1970]

You bet. Glad it helped

[@petermini1025]

I know that the general public thinks that KZbinrs make a lot of money and that it is easy. Most people don’t realize the amount of work that goes into making a channel successful and that it takes years to get to a substantial number of subscribers. You are down to earth in your content and obviously put a lot of thought and effort into it. Today I ordered my first ever tractor, TYM 574 HSC. Thanks to your channels I have not only learned a lot but also got the confidence to buy one knowing I will be able to do a lot of the general maintenance, I’m not mechanically inclined but you step by step instructions have helped me to think I can do this. Thank you.

[@hhamilton1970]

Thank you. I appreciate that comment

[@Mountaintoptractor]

Reading your comment wanted to point out, I just posted a video earlier today of maintence on my 574, the video is based off of a 350 hr service, which will cover everything you need to do the lower hour services.

[@ProductiveRecreation]

My brother-in-law encouraged me to start my channel. I’ve been making videos almost 3 years now. I just got monetized in February. My content is variable, but I’d class it all under rural living / homesteading. Some tractor stuff, some firewood and wood stoves, some gardening and orchard, some diy projects and fixing things… mostly just me doing what I do to take care of our property. Sometimes I make a video to share info that I think might help someone - I like helping people. I’ve never really been chasing subscribers and such. I still make my videos with my phone! You’re right that can be a pain, but I’ve gotten used to editing on the phone and have gotten pretty good at recording clips that are relatively easy to edit together. I can’t justify sinking money into expensive video equipment for something that I do very much on the side, so for now my quality will stay at a medium level. I’ve seen some poor videos, and some great ones… and I rate myself in between. Maybe someday I’ll upgrade! You are absolutely right about the troll commenters too. Just gotta ignore it. I got one yesterday “take better care of your lawnmower”. Not sure why except maybe the machine looked dirty? Of course it’s dirty, I stopped to make the video midway through mowing! 😆

[@hhamilton1970]

lol. Some people.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Excellent video laid out in a way for people to actually digest the advice. You just saved the next generation a lot of time and heartache. Appreciate you spending the time to share this brother!!! 👊🏼

[@hhamilton1970]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BuddyG54]

You ain't kidding that it's hard work editing. I've got 12hrs editing over two days and a 30min video still isn't ready to release.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

#1 suggestion: Don't stand in the shade!! 🤣🤣 Tractor Hard! 🚜💪

[@hhamilton1970]

lol

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I was told I need an Orthodontist. 😂😁 So much valuable information in this video. I appreciate the fact that you're willing to reach out and share. Good on you!

[@hhamilton1970]

lol. Yeah people are crazy.

[@whjammer]

Great information Hank. A part 2 would be great and maybe some information on if you need a business license or insurance. Keep doing it the way you do.

[@hhamilton1970]

Good idea

[@jeremyhead95]

How about ya 😊 I started a new channel back at the first of the year and over time I’ve always try to make them better, Thanks for the info I will definitely put it to good use 👍🔧

[@stevemartinez6757]

I wouldn't even try to start a KZbin channel, mainly because I don't really have the time for it. I enjoy watching videos while kind of "winding down" after working around our property. I subscribe and follow a few channels just because the content is interesting to me. I appreciate yours and other channels.

[@TripleTAcres]

This video is pure gold. You definitely have to be passionate about KZbin or you could easily get burned out. I’m having a blast and I still have a ton to learn. Great video pal! 👊

[@hhamilton1970]

👍

[@markdanford7714]

I enjoyed your video. Thank you for making it

[@robv2026]

This is a really interesting and informative video. I never realized everything that went into all of this stuff. Good stuff Hank.

[@WorknDirt]

thanks for your service, Hank! And thank you for the video! Keep up the strong work!

[@ralphriddle8864]

Think for the true and God bless y'all with much more

[@TractorHoarders]

Howboutcha! All good tips! When working on stuff and demonstrating how to do something like a repair, good lighting is a must.

[@RobertBrothersJr-dc7nr]

Great video Hank. There’s a lot more than I thought to do a KZbin channel. I have to tell you that you have an excellent channel. I watch all of your videos and like them. I comment a lot . Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing your next video. Thanks

[@hhamilton1970]

Thanks 👍

[@rustbuckettractor]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video! Very informative and honest.

[@hhamilton1970]

Glad it was helpful!

[@user-og9hd2sj8z]

Thanks for doing this video Hank on how the KZbin channel works. This puts the straight word out there for you to consider if you are thinking about doing it. A lot to consider before you jump into it. Good job Hank. Lot to consider. Thanks much!!!!!!! The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@rodgerneeb301]

I have been thinking about this a long time. Yes, more tips and tricks would be very much appreciated.

[@hhamilton1970]

👍

[@dougwatts9619]

Thanks for making this video, Hank. I've thought about starting a channel because my interests are so varied and I thought that would attract more viewers. They're somewhat unrelated, but could be tied together under a "doing things yourself to save/make money" type of things. It ranges from cutting trees/splitting wood to fixing 4 wheelers and golf carts to remodeling houses. Thanks to your video, I now know I should really consider narrowing it down to get a more focused audience. Maybe 2 channels? LOL

[@hhamilton1970]

Two channels would definitely work better for that 👍

[@leonardfay7073]

Outstanding Hank!

[@mikederby1]

Great information and you are correct KZbin is big enough.

[@3DFarmingLife]

Thanks for the advice. I Enjoy your channel. 👍

[@hiddenacresoutdoors]

Excellent and most appreciated advice.

[@tjt1992]

Very interesting Hank! Part 2 would be great!

[@hhamilton1970]

👍

[@OldIronAcres]

Great video Hank! Lots of good bits everywhere! Best, --J.Andre. / Old Iron Acres

[@TimeAfterTym]

Thank you for the great advice. A year from now I will be starting my KZbin channel with the advent of my tractor. I will keep your video marked as something to review over and over. PS say hi to Tony, I’m hoping to visit his place in May.

[@hhamilton1970]

You can do it! Good luck!

[@billnolin9423]

Thanks Hank great info.

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Great info Hank. I have a smaller channel featuring mostly a Kioti tractor as well as a few other tractors. Really enjoy your channels. I hope to continue to grow my channel and provide enjoyable content. Thanks for sharing.

[@hhamilton1970]

Keep grinding 👍👍

[@JosephLott-vq9gz]

Really like your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@arrowjmfarms]

There are a lot of truths in this video. Especially that YouTubing is hard work, and people won’t hesitate to point out your flaws - it’s pretty sad sometimes.

[@hhamilton1970]

For sure

[@JeffGeorgalas]

Man Hank, some EXCELLENT points made in this video. I have a small (tiny) channel, and I am just now in the process of figuring out if I want to make a push with it to grow it and possibly get it monetized. And I've been debating about whether I really want to do it or not, because I foresee people making some really nasty remarks, and I'm not the most thick-skinned person in the world. I'm glad that you brought up that aspect. There were also many other very valid points that you brought up. I just found this video very informative. Thank you!

[@hhamilton1970]

Good luck with your decision. Its a fun game to play sometimes

[@stevenfroemming2465]

Interesting, thanks

[@RobertSpangle]

@hank don't forget the younger kids don't use a computer! they just use their phone!

[@RobertSpangle]

so you agree!!:)

[@joeywilliamson1729]

Great information hank thanks

[@user-mi5hb2oj3p]

Your channel is one of my favorites. Your videos with Wiley are the best!!!!!!!! I can relate to you guys!!!!!!!!!

[@007briles]

Great job!!

[@matthewward631]

Interesting information Hank. I’ve been thinking about it for awhile now, just trying the how, what and why of it. You have answered quite a few of my questions. Thanks!

[@hhamilton1970]

I think everyone should at least give it a go 😁👍

[@MartyHenderson-ie9sp]

Excellent information and explanations Hank. I started my channel just for fun and I keep that in mind. I love working with different aspects of taking care of our property and deer leases. So although I am only 5 or 6 videos in, I have a large variety of content planned but it all pretty much has to do with maintaining my equipment such as welding and fabricating stuff for my TYM T474, and our other tractors and things. I enjoy doing it, but was well aware of how much work was going to be involved from the get go. My plan is to do at least one video a week as soon as I get my new shop finished with A/C in it. Southern Arkansas can be brutal when you are inside a metal shop. LOL. Thanks again Hank. Great information sir.

[@hhamilton1970]

Best of luck! I'm pulling for you 👍

[@MartyHenderson-ie9sp]

@@hhamilton1970 Thank you sir. I appreciate that.

[@lboutdoors8690]

Hey neighbor! Good video! As a small channel starting out it is tuff and it can get discouraging at times when you put all the time and effort into the channel, and you may get low views. I'm slowly climbing though and really having fun ! Keep up the good work! Lee

[@hhamilton1970]

Keep it up! It's challenging but it's rewarding!

[@Mountaintoptractor]

Great video hank, it is a long road for sure. I still struggle with moving the camera, and reminding myself to talk to the audience and not to the camera. I make videos about the tractor, log skidder, felling and logging trees, and firewood processor. It has kind of turned into a forrest mitigation strategy....lol. They might be too different to really take off but, if im honest youtube at this point is more for me, as a video diary that I can look back on, or my kid can look back at in 10 years when this part of the property looked differently etc. Definately not a huge growth strategy but it keeps me going.

[@hhamilton1970]

There's nothing wrong with that approach at all. I've watched some of your videos. You do really good work with your tractor. Good luck on your journey 👍👍

[@Mountaintoptractor]

@hhamilton1970 Thanks, I'm great full to have you watch a video I made, you big guys are what inspire us Lil guys to keep on moving to some day aspire to be full time. Lately I have made more skidder videos as I am spending allot more time on that except for snow clearing. I have allot of ground that I need to mitigate for fire prevention, so that has become a huge focus, the tractor is used for limbing and stacking but that's about it lately. I have found though that doing the revisions from long form into shorts has basically doing snipets has contributed way more subs then long form, but as you said that my be more of a burden then a help long term...,wait and see.

[@MrSparks701]

Really enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing

[@hhamilton1970]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tjt1992]

Great video Hank!

[@hhamilton1970]

Thank you

[@MarquithLegacyAcres]

Thanks for the information Hank. As a smaller channel, I found your input very informative. Thanks again. - Tod

[@hhamilton1970]

Thanks much!

[@SunsetAcresFarm]

Teach us your ways sensei

[@hhamilton1970]

lol

[@scotthurst1776]

I am a horrible subscriber I watch on the TV and forget to hit that like button all the time. I will work on that. 🤣🤣🤣

[@hhamilton1970]

Actually when you watch on TV it pays more than people who watch on their phone, so thank you! 🙏

[@user-yd8co7fg9z]

👍🚜

[@douglasjackson1998]

I'm not gonna lie. I watched this to see the black rims. After having them for more than month now, how many horsepower do you feel that's added, and is it really helping with the brush-hogging?

[@hhamilton1970]

😂😂 Let's just say, I had to add a 5 point harness in the cab

[@JMRRebuilders]

not looking forward to the old part. Love it thanks brother. I tried using preimere to edit and couldnt master it. Thankfully Hunter @coopshouse mentioned capcut. Love it for editing

[@hhamilton1970]

I use it some as well

[@HoneyDoHomestead]

All good advice. Do this, but still expect to fail. Don't quite your day job 🤣. I'm 3 years in, 300+ videos in, and don't have the minimum hours or subs to rub 2 pennies together. Just know that most people fail at KZbin in the first year, and then there's idiots like me that can't read the room enough to know when to quit, lol. But other than that, it's okay I guess?

[@hhamilton1970]

lol. You're only one video away from getting big!

[@ronevans852]

I always wondered how that work with u tube. Not that I have any interest in it. I do miss wily.

[@hhamilton1970]

Wiley has never been on this channel 😊

[@hollywd269]

I've been on KZbin since 2009 i think and still have yet to hit a 1000 subs lol. However i have many different types of videos and I started out with a Dailey/weekly vlogs called behind the wheel. "Life as a local truck driver" but ran out of content to film and as time went on companies started not allowing me to film with their name or what i did for that company as a driver. So after that i kind of fell off of KZbin for a few years with jist random stuff. Now it seems my channel does decent with harley videos a harbor freight review products as I'm not affiliated with either company but i seem to get views just not the subs generally over 5k veiws per months on my channel but stuck a just shy of 700 subs. I will admit i fall short on being consistent and that falls onto the editing time of the videos. Any advice??? Thanks in advance. Also great videos and would definitely like see more making or how you made a successful channel.

[@hhamilton1970]

Yeah the only thing I can offer is be intentional about devoting time to get it done. Sounds like you already have a good foundation 👍

[@hollywd269]

Thanks so much I appreciate your feedback.

[@tylermclean7553]

I have a GoPro

[@hhamilton1970]

I'm not a fan of their internal mics. But a lot of people use them, that's for sure 👍

[@FarmallFanatic]

Thick skin 👍

[@hhamilton1970]

For sure!

[@user-rl3yt1nl1k]

Get batter mike

[@Moselli56]

How ‘bouchya Hank! Always good content and video! Thanks

[@hhamilton1970]

Thank you
