He is the first one of the intensive program to get monetized! Woohoo took just 8 weeks of working together to get him there! Matt has been awesome, testing different topics and styles of filming and finally found his sweet spot! He had a plan to give YouTube a year to start making money and when he didn't hit that goal he reached out and joined this program. I'm so freaking proud of him. He always has the best attitude and literally pours everything into his videos and editing them. So so so awesome! The first day of making money was Dec. 24th from ad sense. How timely is that?! :) Merry Christmas from YT. :) Just another exampe of how sticking with it and testing different strategies will get you there!!! Woohooo!!! And to encourage you all some more, I believe he is in a very unique niche - silver pouring. Anyone with a passion (and a market for that passion) can succeed! Bring it 2025 - we are ready!! @Silver Punk

I have a daughter with Down syndrome and she played Beethoven's Ode To Joy with our local Phoenix Youth Symphony, a professional Youth Orchestra. It was filmed by a TV station, but we did our own recording. I uploaded it just 3 days ago and it has 34K views already, 1.3K LIKES and I gained 200 Subscribers so far. Each hour I see thousands more. For this video I don't care about the status in YT, but the fact that my daughter is bringing so much hope and joy to people all over the world. You can see the video here and support my daughter Christina, who has overcome so many obstacles in her little life so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=425_vCxViJw&t=2s

I'm curious to hear about what programs you're using to create thumbnails. I have used Canva and Phonto. Both the free versions.
