People don't realize how much WORK is involved dealing with scheduled new content uploads, answering comments, and having your BRAND all setup. Plus, do you want to retire and have a life? It takes a lot of time to manage and operate a PROFITABLE KZbin channel.

Hi Mark. Hope all is good with the family. My wife is Filipina and we started storing our family videos during Covid and grew her channel kind of by accident. Four years later and 300 or so videos later it has become part of our routine in keeping our memories. My point is monetization for her is a bi-product of wanting to keep our memories for our kids to see when I am long gone (I am 62 and she is 33). Making it all about money is a hard slog. Make it fun and part of your routine and then you can never be disappointed if earnings are up or down. Stay healthy my friend Andrew

I have to tell you the interview with the 86 yo man really moved me. I have been watching you & other successful KZbinrs for last couple of years. In am 73 & been planning to migrate to one of the SE Asia countries the last couple of years. I have been to several of the countries, no Philippians yet but have a long time friend who moved there 8 years ago. He married a younger woman, had two kids, & loves it in his Province. I am really kind of sold on Cambodia presently to live but will see. I was so impressed with a man that age & I believe he was from Alabama, which I am also. I have lived in Santa Barbara California the last 47 years but it's time to get out of US. I hope you can have more elderly men who have made the journey out of USA. You had a 75 yo a few months ago as well. Hopefully some updates on these two will come in the future!

I began watching youtube over 10 years ago precisely because the content was niche unlike broadcast TV. Now its more difficult finding what is niche. A niche channel seems to have a pleasant vibe that derivative channels and broadcast TV does not. About year ago I noticed a proliferation of clone like youtube suggested videos because google wanted me to save my watch history, so now and again I manually clear my entire watch history and delete 90% of my subscriptions so I am not swamped with derivative channels.

I watch your channel because I am about your age and your interests are in concert with mine. I am in the US and have no plans of leaving but daydream about living in paradise with an agreeable woman in a peaceful household. I have been married for 45 years to a woman that I love, but who is hooked on consumerism, nagging, and all the crap Western women do. Watching your channel has a feel like just hanging with the guys and shooting the breeze.

I started a few channels back in the day, but its a lot of work and only made a few videos each time. One was a controversial, but non-political, the other was Philippines based. Google looks for reasons to demonitize or close your channel for anything controversial. As for the Philippines, there aren't half a dozen now, there are hundreds... I'm not good at just talking into the camera like Mark, Calvin, etc... So editing becomes way too much work. Hats off to those folks making a living at youtube.

The youtube niche that is really paying is the people that have access to dead bodies. I remember a person who called into the Dave Ramsey show and talked about that they make at least $150,000 a year, because they are one of the few people that have access to dead bodies and the medical students pay quite a bit for access.

KZbin monetized one Auto repair vid I made way back when Google acquired it. A short while later they authorized me to monetize the rest of my hundred or so vids. I hit my stride about 10 years later doing Motorsports vids. Was thinking I was going full-time, then The KZbin crawler cut me down. That backed me right down to just an occasional KZbinr. With diminishing AdSense return each year. This year, KZbin demonetized my channel for inactivity. I'm not too happy about that either! 🤬 They can still run ads against my hundreds of vids. Only now, they keep all the revenue and don't give me any... Does that seem right?

But I also believe in having multiple income streams in case you have a bad month or lose one of your jobs. Just started my TY channel and I'm committed to getting this thing monetized and see where it takes me. I'd like to be setup and ready to move to the PH within the next 4 years. Cheers from the US!

Have seen channels lose monetization, dealing with finicky YT on copyright ©️ issues, getting prodded into livestreams, coming up with interesting content. If you don’t, the algorithm won’t promote the channel or people leave. After working over 40 years, I don’t want to be a serf any longer. Other things people with successful channels do is have another way for subscribers to fund you outside of YT (ie: Patreon, store front, sponsorship with Amazon). This is full time work.

I come from an era where the only thing available was Lonely Planet guidebooks. Have been to Madagascar twice, traveled around both Kenya and Tanzania, Thailand, been to Dubai to many times to count. Nowadays, there is always a youtuber going to the most "dangerous country or neighborhood." Having lived and worked all over the Middle East, including Afghanistan I find this so disrespectful to the locals! As people are the same all over the world, everybody is simply trying to make it from one day to the next! While the KZbinr gets to stay at the best hotel with running hot water, AC, internet for the local it is from sunup to sundown 365 job day if he wants to eat. KZbin presents a sterile version of the grinding poverty people are born into and will never escape!

There is one thing that Vloggers need to me scared of and that's AI technology. It's getting bigger and over the next few years most videos will be done by AI. Never rely on YT as a source of income because its not guaranteed. Do not think you can leave your job in the west and live a nice life earning from YT you will end up on the streets with no way of getting back home.

Added difficulty now is that KZbin viewership has flatlined since the Pandemic ended. Best strategy is to aim to make your new channel a hobby. If it takes off that’s a bonus. Thanks for laying out the reality Mark.

@@thelowprofile9767 So I had my last 1099 sent to my cousin and she took a picture and email it to me. I emailed it to H&R Block. Along with all my deductions. They prepared it and I paid them my fee with my credit card. I had been using them my last 7 years in Florida before moving here. I have Magic Jack so I have a Florida #. Get one it was $150 for 5 years. Before you come here get GCash and Wise. I couldn't once I was here because my bank and card is in US. Western Union will not work and even PayPal, although they did cut me a break.

Kind of you to put this info out there for people. I feel like sending this to a YTer in Chiang Mai who walks around Thailand...supposedly showing off the country...but only has the camera on himself. lol I have never laugh more at a YTer, and I'm not at all someone who enjoys laughing at others, but his guy just shoots himself in the foot at every turn, and his comment section is FULL of people telling him to put the camera on the places he is showing and he fully ignores every comment. I've never encountered someone so seemingly nice and kind, and yet so entirely indifferent. I finally had to unsubscribe yesterday. I supported him throughout his entire period of being unemployed, but when he told us yesterday he got a new job, I immediately unsubscribed. lol I couldn't take one more awful video of his face with the background constantly moving as he walked around.

@@ferney2936 I see you know exactly who I'm talking about even though I didn't mention his name. lol While he was in Krabbi he mentioned he has a new job. I unsubscribed right then, so I have no idea if he's back in Chiang Mai now. I won't be watching more videos. Nice guy, but his just waffles on, flipping that camera back and forth and not showing us anything (most of the time). This gentlman is right, there are far too many YTers out there, and especially to spend time watching videos where someone doesn't care about their viewers whatsoever.

Sorry to brake the harsh truth, but as long you are not understanding what youtube is and how you need to create a channel for youtube then you will stay stuck on a level with less earnings. Learn about youtube and what really matters, then you will earn much better.
