I would rely less on vidIQ and other such tools and more on your gut. At the end if the day we tune in because we enjoy Jen’s personality and identify with her travel experiences.

Remember how many creators there are and how many videos get offered up. Time is your best friend right now. Be consistent and persevere.

I appreciate this series.

I really like you sharing what you learned.

I stumbled across your videos, watched the first one and immediately subscribed! Im 58, in dire need of extra money. Just trying desperately to figure out what to do videos about. I'm not good at anything really, but I'll find something to do. Love your videos Jen, keep them coming. Very inspirational. Love from 🇨🇦

I’ve always believed that the lessons we learn from what we think are failures are the best. Also no video is a failure. They are all helpful if only for comparison.

You never know what drives the peaks and valleys exactly - it depends on who is watching, what’s happening in their lives along with the ominous algorithm. It will all balance out in the end. You’re doing great!!

I definitely stuck around till the end.

I want to see you succeed. Don't sweat it. Short of some weird viral thing, you won't see instant numbers. Success comes with time and effort. You'll need a depth of uploads and so on. You're on track just know your recipe may differ form the big names.

spot on

Oh Jen… can you please stop talking? I wanna see the puppy 🐶! 😂😂😂😂 (just kidding) I love your channel and the videos. You are probably the first person I saw who is honest about building and monetizing a YT channel. Thanks a lot. You are very inspiring. I am excited to see and learn more! 🙋‍♀️🫶 Annie

I love your dog and the bell!

Hmm good advice …. Get straight into it”…. I like that

Thanks for the encouragement Jen. I’m scared to death but Im doing to do it. Im going to monetize my art channel.

Thank you for the great information you are sharing ! I am slowly working /brainstorming on what my niche will be. I really appreciate your down to earth /relatable personality. You are a great fit for teaching me. Thx, Janelle

growing pains but it is worth it, keep on trucking

I learn something from every one of your videos...even the 1st. 😀

So many possible reasons! Keep going!!! Part of the learning process!

You're a breath of fresh air! I'm on the same journey xoxo New subscriber

I might be missing something but there are no links again - love your journey and you speak in the videos of sharing links but I cant find them. It could be me not knowing where to look yet but I always thought they were in the description below. I hope you havn't taken them off for Patreon so people have to pay. It was following your journey that really inspired me to have a go too. When I first watched I found the links but stupidly didn't write them down - all the very best in your channel. You are an inspiration to us all - that's worth everything to give hope to our Gen X generation xx

Mr. Beast?! That is BIG TIME there!!!

Still getting through your monetisation series. Great stuff! I recently switched to Davinci Resolve and am really liking the capabilities. Steep learning curve of course! 😅

Just found your channel and I'm really enjoying it!

Thanks Tim! Good luck!

I love your videos and all you have to offer. I wish I could tell you how to get those numbers up...

Hi Jen! You are incredibly strong..getting a lot of inspiration from you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I too am a small channel and in pursuit of growth and monetisation. Your videos are really helpful . Mine is an educational channel. Do you think if I too do this kind of series inspired by you, will it work ?

Skye wears a bright red jingle bell! I love it!

Thanks for the kind of comments you leave for us, people trying to mentize their channels, the Davinci screen is extremely useful! is it just 10 seconds that provide a huge impact! and sharing your Mr. Beast´s comment, thank you for that also! I will keep it in my mind.

I see the snow is gone. From what I'm hearing from the youtube creators that I'm listening to is that ups and downs are normal.

Your short monetization videos keep me fascinated. As a non-creator, I don’t know anything about this topic, so I’d love a tutorial on KZread monetization. Thanks for your courage and tenacity in your videos.

I love you go getting it attitude even when you don’t have perfect footage. I loved Edinburgh castle. It’s so beautiful there and being able to see the whole town from up there is fantastic!😊

it's cool to watch this knowing that a month-ish later you'll be monetized

Keep plugging away. We are counting on you.

Pam here….love learning what you learned!

It is frustrating, but it goes up and down. You can never tell beforehand which ones are going to do well or not. Keep going, I'm enjoying following your journey. x

To monetized, i think people has to watch your commercials. 👍

I have been on KZread for 14 yrs or so & post here & there and it never occurred to me to try to grow my channel. I wished I did 14 yrs ago😁. Loving your content & your doggie running around.

Thanks!

Hi Silver and Solo, I have watched your video on how to monetize a YT channel and I admire how far you've become in a record time! I have started my KZread channel @sapphiretarot-marie twelve days ago and I'm so glad that I have found you. You have a new subscriber 👍and thank you so much for sharing this information with us, is so nice of you! Marie x❤

I love your videos and can so relate to you! Thanks so much for sharing. I also am 58 an looking to develop another stream of income with my KZread channel. I just started uploading videos in mid-February and right now have 94 subscribers. Your journey is VERY inspiring to me, so I have subscribed. Question: How many of your subscribers come from your KZread monetization journey as opposed to your travel content? I’m curious because I might do a series just like yours!☺️👍🏽

Please don't get discouraged. It could have been any number of things that caused the lack of full video watches last week. One statistic I don't think you have relayed to us is the demographic of your viewers. I assume most of your viewers are like me, an older solo woman interested in travel.

Older married woman here. Love to travel and wanting Jen to succeed in her journey.

This was much better in terms of not cut off half of your face and interesting to hear the tips.

Working on my video-taking skills, lol!

A possible way to get more views would be to do #DavinciResolveLearning or #learningfilmeditingafter50, maybe...I do know hashtags can help.

That particular video might do better when it is sightseeing season/weather

You need to give the people what they want! Viewers will watch videos of what THEY are interested in. Please stop worrying about shaky videos, Mr. Beast or anything else. You are spending too much time on everything else but what the audience WANTS to see. Once you find out what they WANT to see then you can "fix" your videos.😎

Hi, I happened across your channel a week or 2 ago and am working through your videos to support you. I am a writer soon to publish and you have inspired me to start building a youtube channel to build another income stream. Thank you! What is the small channel that you follow (you mention at the beginning of this video)?

hi Jen, I saw you mention Davinci Resolve, and I went to look for it but when I go to download it gives me 4 different pieces of software to choose from. I'm not sure which to use!? can you make a suggestion?

The free one? It's been a while since I downloaded it. Just don't choose the one you pay for...that's unnecessary!

Who gives the different colored arrows ? Vidiq or ?? Now your are gray ??

Honey, I didn't see the Edinburgh castle video, nor do I really want to. I want to hear from you; I want to hear your solutions, hacks for living well alone, and your philosophy on life. IMO, you are much more interesting than Edinburgh Castle. And mind you, I love history and seeing places in other countries. I can always Google the castle, but there is only one place I can find you. Please keep doing what you have been doing.

I wonder how much Mr. Beast makes? 245M subscribers!
