Saying NO to the Money...

Today is a look at a day in the life of a KZreadr and Digital Nomad living in Bangkok. Today I show some of the challenges we face and what a typical day looks like for me. Some Days living in Thailand are fun and glamourous, and some.... are like this one!

    I don’t mind when channels I truly enjoy ( like yours ) do ads because I understand that it helps the channel. Big ups on staying solid and not pushing something you don’t believe in for a check though!

    It's tricky to navigate. I'm at the stage now where my channel is really growing and I'm starting to get advertising offer's. It's interesting navigating the new content creation economy. I watch other larger creators that disclose how they manage it and it's helped a lot, including this video. Know your worth and value your viewer's is the best policy I think.

I usually stay down the bottom of Soi 12, great hotel and very close to Jetts gym where I frequent most days when i am there - an Aussie with a Jetts membership so no extra charge to use gyms there. Food looked great too

    I dont get that. If the product was fine despite the price, why knock back the review. Some people will want it and be able to afford it. Not everyone is looking for value. If you're selling a product, you need to factor in the broader market, not just your own price tolerance. People have different ideas of what constitutes value. You could always mention in the video it's on the pricey side and some veiwers might want to consider cheaper alternatives. If the product offers features not available in similar products, it might be worth the price to some, especially if it's has the very features they need. I think this was a missed opportunity.

    So, you liked the product, but thought you'd be a sellout cause the price was high? Why couldn't you just do the review and mention that while you liked the product you felt the price wasn't justified. I just don't understand why giving a honest review on any product would be selling out. I doubt anyone but yourself would think your a sellout for giving a honest review. Now if it was a canned commercial that the company wanted you to insert in 1 or more of your video's i could see that as selling out.
