First video posted: 10/21/24 Monetized: 1/21/25 16 videos 2,004 subs I am beyond ecstatic. My monetization goal was 90 days and I did it. Thank you to those of you who answered my questions and showed support over the last couple of months! 🙏🏽

@Alexa Saarenoja Posted a fascinating video today on posting more videos to grow her channel. she made a very important statement in that video, "this is my experience." My experience is different. i’ve been posting one video a week since September 18 of 2024. tomorrow my channel will be four months old. I have been monetized for a little more than a month. I have a little over 20,000 subscribers. My first months revenue was a little over $1000 from Adsence. I’m not a big numbers cruncher and I seldom look at my analytics. Right now I am averaging between 30 and $50 a day in adsence and I am averaging between 250 and 400 subscribers a day. this is on only 16 long form videos. For me, I could never do three videos a week. I have a hard enough problem doing one video week I spend between 20 and 25 hours to do one video. And I also have a full-time job that I am still working. So for me, I am a part-time YouTuber. Alexa is a full-time YouTuber. My take away is that everyone who is a YouTube content creator needs to find their best practice and what works for them. I am very proud of Alexa and what she has accomplished and what she has done. And actually, I’m proud of what I’ve done at starting a channel at 80 years old. She and I do have some similar goals and that is to reach 100,000 subscribers this year. And I believe that we both will do that. So here’s a young, energetic, young woman who lost her job and here’s an old guy who’s thinking about retirement. What do we have in common? PASSION For what we are doing. I would encourage you to find what works for you and then do it. I think I’ve discovered that nobody has the magic bullet for making a channel a success. You have to always be learning and it takes dedication and hard work. If one video a week works for you then do it. If three videos a week work for you and then do that. The key is consistency. The biggest thing that I have learned in the last four months is that you need to produce content that is so valuable that your viewers will share your content with other people.
