In this video, I speak about my the last year and my experience of going from a full time video editor, to quitting my job to do KZbin "full time". I go over the different ways I made money with KZbin this year, showing the potential it has a source for passive income. I also do my best to answer your questions from Instagram about the process and behind the scenes of being a KZbinr. Hope you all enjoyed this one.

George, you deserve all of your success. You've a lovely personality and speaking style.

George's channel has an uncanny blend of occasional useful information, envy-inducing monetary success, cute cat scenes, and deadpan jokes. The best bit is he's doesn't seem to take any of it very seriously!

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Well said!

[@Donna-cc1kt]

I think I know what you mean by saying he doesn’t take things seriously. It doesn’t all go toward being pompous. He simply uses his intelligence and isn’t afraid of work and risks.

Sorry but I disagree, I bet he takes it very seriously but doesn't let it show. I think he is a very sensitive and sensible young man and I wish him well.

[@tims7793]

[@SisterSherryDoingStuff]

Yeah, I have question: What video editing software do you use? I've invested so much in other passive online incomes - that I cannot afford to move off of IMovie, which is very limiting. Like you, I'm giving myself 6 months. I've got Amazon KDP brewing and growing...finally just started my Amazon Affiliate Program, and as I stated before - I started and AI youtube channel. I'd like the editing process to be more professional - but Imovie just isn't all that.

[@stacyvolpone]

after some thinking i have a question. why you don't use shorts that much? won't it help to grow your channel? and yes.. i'm craving more content from you 😅

[@shiningstar7775]

George you SERIOUSLY need to think about setting up a Pension. As you state about 71k of your income is taxable. You could have put 21k into a pension and then only be liable for tax on 50k. Get your accountant to do some tax planning.

[@robbicu]

I love your sense of humor. Rarely do I watch a KZbin video where I say to myself "Wow, I wish I knew this guy!"

[@WeShallOvercome_]

As you’re self-employed, your income may not be regular, so it might not work well under PAYE (pay as you earn). The payment on account method bases future payments on historical actuals, so it can create a degree of regularity. An alternative is to look into setting up your own company. This is not as complicated as it appears to be, but depending on the type of company, you will have reporting and filing requirements. Well, you already have those via self-assessment. Another way to reduce your tax bill is to pay into a personal pension plan. Pension schemes are a tax-efficient way to save for retirement - which you’ll be able to access as early as age 55 (or 57 when the gov’t changes the rules). They’re tax-efficient because you don’t pay tax on your pension contributions at the time of making them. When you retire you will be able to access 25% of the pension pot tax-free, and the remaining 75% you’ll likely be a basic rate tax payer, paying 20% tax on the drawdown above your personal allowance - where right now you are a higher rate tax payer, with 40% of your money above £50k going up in tax. Hopefully, you can see that 20% tax, years from now, on 75% of your pension pot is likely to be less tax than 40% every year now while you’re of working age. That’s income tax. If you invest your money, you’ll want to avoid capital gains tax, and a simple way to do that is to invest via an ISA each year. You can invest/save £20k per tax year and all the gains are tax-free. If you go this route, make sure you set up an ISA with low fees. Fees can really eat into gains. I signed up to Trading 212 as it has the lowest fees in this tax year and I like their simple investment pies, but, of course, do your own research. Year to year you can move your ISAs, but don’t withdraw them. Instead, you have to fill in a transfer form with the new ISA provider. A lot of people forget this and they screw up how much they can save each year. Another fun fact: The April to April year is the government’s tax year and it relates to income tax. The government’s corporation tax year, for example, is March to March. So the government’s financial year (corp tax) is a little different to its tax year (income tax). Many other tax territories are based on calendar year. If you set yourself up as a limited company, the profits would be subject to corporation tax. If your company paid you a salary, your salary would still be subject to income tax and national insurance contributions. This is where you’ll need to do the sums. If your company becomes an employer, it will have to run a payroll, file monthly under RTI (real time information) and the company will also need to pay employer’s national insurance (13.8% of the gross salary bill - after the secondary threshold of £9.1K is deducted. You can find all tax rates and thresholds on the gov. uk website). Tax doesn’t have to be taxing :) Let me know if you have any questions.

[@DomTheTA]

this is great advice Dan, can i ask for a web developer making £70-100k on a side hustle would the advice be the same, does the advice differ when selling products to and dealing with the public?

[@sep.s]

@@DomTheTANot sure if you got an answer on this but the answer is probably yes, but it depends on what your financial goals are (for example, what do you want to do about private pension contributions). I recommend speaking to an accountant who can crunch the numbers for you and give you options depending on what you want to do (and it is also an expense which you can claim against your income :) )

[@therealbonj]

@@DomTheTA one difference might be vat registration, which is optional under a certain amount but compulsory above (i think) 85k pa. If you don’t have that many expenses it could be detrimental to be registered. Maybe consider using a different company per website.

George, your videos are so helpful! Thanks for sharing the story of your home transformation. I wanted to share that my husband & I recently had a carpet runner installed in our front interior stairs (we live in a second floor flat) -- and I love that the stairs are now much more comfortable, less noisy when people walk on them -- and they are so much SAFER! We can still see the beautiful oak flooring on either side of the carpet. The carpet runner has a border on either side -- and as a result the visual effect is to emphasize that these are STAIRS. As you pointed out in your videos, stairs can be slippery and potentially hazardous. Thank you for sharing this important point and sharing your own slipping experience. And thank you for your videos, which are so useful and also enjoyable to watch!

[@matthewnewman8621]

George - Incredibly helpful info, I've just starting to record for my first video and set up my first channel... Love the encouragement in this, rather than a lecture most people give 'telling' you what to do instead of guidance. I'd say the most daunting aspect has been the editing software - I wasn't the most technically minded person, only recently began to enjoy using a computer, but after several good tutorials I'm pretty comfortable with it. I'm terrible at procrastination too, severe anxiety is crippling but I like what you said about not stressing if your first video isn't great, just keep making them as it gets easier. Right, cup of tea time, walk the dog and shoot some more footage! Have a good day George, cheers😀

Heya George, great video as always! re: the payments on accounts, your payment in Jan 24 will be the first estimated half of your 23-24 tax bill, the tax year we're currently in, then the second will be in July 24, just slightly after the 23-24 Tax year ended, then finally if anything futher is due you'd be expected to pay it by Jan 25. If you're anticipating for your 23-24 earnings to be less than last year it's worth stating this to HMRC so your 2 requested payments in Jan & Jul are more aligned and you don't end up overpaying and asking for a refund.

The all-knowing algorithm brought me here. Not quite sure why but that's not for us mere mortals to know. I am very much aware of how hard it is for me to talk to a camera and admire the amazing facility with which you do it. Because of you, every medical student-viewer at Edinburgh (and your other great medical schools) has undoubtedly researched the association between piebaldism, absent lateral eyebrows and systemic disease. Happily, you don't seem to fulfill any of the important criteria. But thought you'd find it amusing that they are looking at your eye color, joints, etc. You are motivating them to read and that's always a good thing.

Big thank you for sharing all these info & being so transparent! Finding this super interesting!! Been thinking about starting a yt channel for quite some time but *shy* etc, but your video gives me encouragement to maybe start & be one of the 0.01 % that starts 😉

Really impressive George! I’d love something like this for myself

Cheers Rob! It's worth a shot. I reckon everyone has a story or knowledge worth sharing.
