Hi. I accidentally came across your channel ½ hour ago, and it's one of the best accidents that has ever happened to me. I am almost 56 and for the last 6 years (at least) the clutter in and around my home has impacted tremendously on my mental health. To be honest, I don't know where to begin but after watching one of your episodes, it has already helped put me in the right direction. Thank you

Tim has been great for me kind of reverse engineering the retirement thing. I am what I call covid retired..... I'm 40, and have health issues. When the shut downs happened in March of 2020 I lost my job along with them. Before that I had an eye on the FIRE community, but felt hopeless to ever get to normal retired age retirement, much less early retirement. Due to some money my Dad left I was able to plan out a year off to keep myself safer. I still got it, twice actually, but it didn't matter that I was in bed for a month the first time because the bills were still paid. I'm still off work, almost 4 years later, and am really looking at life a little differently. Tim is helping me get the retirement mindset figured out, so I can go back to work in a manner that it isn't a slog to just try to survive for the next 20 years. And realizing that what I thought would sustain the kids and I for 1 year will have actually lasted 4 in March with some left to spare is mind boggling. Highly recommend Dana K White if the house is overwhelming, and then I love the lean/5S organizing videos Tim has put out. Mix that with the explanation of organizing styles from Clutterbug and it solves a lot of the overwhelm because you pare down with Dana, take into account your natural tendencies from clutterbug, and make it super functional with the lean methods Tim talks about..... all while realizing that there is more to life than stuff. Highly recommend just starting at the beginning on Tim's videos, and decluttering with Dana to start your journey. You've got this.

You are very likeable, and your content is interesting. Back for More in 2024 Tim! 🎉😊

Retired people don’t want headaches! Lol I really like it when you tell us about how KZread works. There aren’t many channels that go into detail like you do. It would be to their benefit to do so and they are benefiting in your doing so. Keep up the hard work you do in making your channel great! I don’t think it’s possible that everyone leaves your channel, you’ve got a great personality and that helps keep people. I watch a lot of homesteading video’s. I’m not a homesteader and never will be, but I enjoy learning about them. I keep track of which channels get more subscribers and I’ve noticed that the ones with great personalities grow faster. And the opinionated ones don’t do well at all! Keep growing!😊

@@StarrConsulting Well, a lot of people thought this was a live feed. But it wasn’t. It was recorded and set as a premiere. I screencast my phone to my Mac and recorded it with QuickTime while I was recording myself with my camera. Then I just edited them together when I edited the talk.

That was fascinating. I had no idea KZread paid so much. It’s all very complicated. I’m one who stays for the duration of every video. Just love listening to your voice, stories, cooking etc. I’ll be with you through all of 2024 and wish you all the best. 😊

Very interesting. I am glad you are doing well. If it were me, I'd stress over content. Coming up with two topics, let alone scripting and producing them would seem overwhelming. I was especially interested to learn that KZread pays attention to my ad consumption. I am a person who skips ads, and I will continue that practice. Before your last video, I had to endure a very long political ad that I could not skip. Now I know that I can juse exis and KZread will take note that I don't want those ads.

Thanks for sharing your KZread data with us, because I had no idea how much revenue could be generated by being monetized. Congrats and I wish you continued success on all your channels 😊

Nice explanation. I have been watching youtube for several years with an ad blocker. Now I have to pay a subscription fee of $15.00 per month to stay ad free. The channels will still get their add revenue and I don't have to watch the ads. Win Win! TFS 👍

Congrats on the success! It’s well earned. I watch a lot of BookTube videos and several have mentioned that DEC-FEB are their slow months. It seems counterintuitive to me, but I’ve heard it a lot. One creator I watch regularly takes a vacation and doesn’t post at all in FEB because it’s the month that impacts her income the least. Just thought I’d share so you won’t get discouraged during the US winter months. Decluttering is huge at the first of the year. And, people tend to struggle with sentimental items like photos and heirlooms. You might think about a strategic video on that topic and see how it does. 😊

Thanks for sharing the info on your YT earnings! I LOL’d when you said how close you were to having to go to the hospital when you saw the September numbers! I wonder if you get a cut if a viewer makes a purchase directly from an ad on your channel. I know YT customizes the ads based on the user, and they know me really well! If so, hopefully, they send you a belated Christmas present from me. Btw, I follow some content creators with 3 to 4 million subscribers. They must be rolling in $$$!
