I set up Buy Me a Coffee a few days ago and mentioned it in my latest video....the first video since setting it up. Within 1.5 hours I had my first $5 tip! Woo Hoo!!

I've seen several people comment about being concerned about their accent when speaking English since it's their second or third language. They're concerned about how they sound and if they'll be understood. While that's not a problem for me, I do understand. First, it's awesome that you speak more than one language!! I grew up with my family speaking Dutch, but I never really learned to speak it myself....which I do feel bad about. Second, I would like you to check out a creator that I recently discovered and who I am very impressed by....even though her content doesn't apply to me at all. Her name is Anna and she has cerebral palsy. If she can do this, you can, too. Check out her channel: CP Life - YouTube

My channel was just approved for the first level of monetization! Yay!! Now, I've got to see what I can do with that since I'm not exactly sure what's going to work for me. Even so, it's a cool milestone to reach and it opens up some additional opportunities to generate some income.

Post a 17 second short last night. Wake up 2.200 view! Double all others ☺️

I'm an Indonesian university student who's graduating soon. I'm trying out youtube as a hobby, and I'm starting to enjoy it. I joined this community because I want to learn how to grow my small youtube channel. My channel is https://www.youtube.com/@dzakyads (currently all of my video are in Indonesian). I have just reached the 4.000 viewing hours that youtube set for monetization, but is still struggling to gain subscribers (currently on 181). I hope that I can learn from all of you guys :)
