    Thank you for all the kind comments! I will continue to post videos, just not as often as before. Oh, and my ribs have completely healed, so I’m all good now👍

    • @oregonguy9121
      @oregonguy9121 2 роки тому +2

      Absolutely great news to hear that your ribs have completely healed. I’m guessing that also goes for the concussion that you stated in the vlog that also occurred. Looking forward to your next vlog when it happens!

    I wish UA-cam payed more so we could continue to enjoy your builds vicariously. Your channel shows how average, ordinary guys can get into serious builds and restorations. Please keep posting, even if it’s only occasionally. I’m still a subscriber and I can’t wait to see the FJ40 finished.

  • @misterdaz1018

    I fully understand the decision. UA-cam does not pay their fair share. I came to watch your videos after seeing you on Super Fast Matt's S600 video and I will continue to watch whatever you put out. Thanks for your work, I am seriously envious if your skills.

    Thanks so much for the vlog update. I was always curious what you did for your regular job as I know UA-cam videos pay very little. Glad to hear that you are all right after your motorcycle mishap. Looking forward to whatever vlogs you are able to put out in the future as I will continue to follow your well-informed episodes that you produce. Again, thanks much for the updated information and look forward to your next vlog.

    Ouch! I hope you are doing well...that you've recovered completely! Someone once told me that it's not "if" you wreck a bike...it's only "when". You can be as careful as a little old lady in a tea room, but end up slipping on someone else's spilled tea. Stay safe. Do what you can. We will wait for your videos.

    Was relieved to hear you’re only slowing down a bit and not shutting the channel down. I found your landcruiser series shortly after I bought my 72’ and have watched every other build so far. Hands down one of my favorite channels. Looking forward to the next one!

    @chrisryan9986 2 роки тому +5

    Jarrod, I only recently discovered your channel and subscribed. I watched several of your builds and found the quality of your builds and quality of your video editing to be exceptional. I also like your vehicle selection and your attitude toward restoration and preservation. I'm a bit stumped that after 3 years and 300 videos, your subscription numbers weren't higher. Curious how the "silent" builds fed into the yt algorithm for views over time. Can't wait for your future builds and updates. Thanks for all of your contributions.

    @GeneLinetsky-GAL 2 роки тому +1

    Jared, all the best with the new (old) job. It's disappointing that you can't earn decent money with your very high quality content. It's puzzling why some channels attract lots of traffic with relatively low effort and content quality. Do keep posting new content -- we'll be following you still.

    Thank you for sharing this. I've just started releasing my resto series on yt, and feel a bit bummed out because it's not doing so well compared to the effort I put into it. And I guess it's at least comforting to know it doesn't really matter. Maybe unless you luck out and become one of the top 0.001% who make all the money.

  • @cudaman-yq7pq
    @cudaman-yq7pq 2 роки тому +1

    My impression is that the big time UA-camrs make most of their money from Patreon and selling merch. They also have their own websites and a heavy presence on Facebook and other social media, which may provide additional revenue streams. Guys like Tyler Hoover also have gigs doing TV shows and webcasts. :)

I do really like my camera, and the other stuff I bought, so I’m not bummed!

I will still look forward to what ever projects you film in the future.

    I have a channel, with only 80 subscribers...20K TOTAL views, LOL, but your channel I was hoping would be able to at least pay for your projects, because it's the kind of channel I like watching. Hopefully you will eventually get more viewers. Having said that, I think the people who live off of UA-cam actually have sponsors (car products, for example) or they have patrons. It seems like youtube alone does not do, maybe it did in the past, unless you have 100K view videos on a regular basis. I'm just guessing. I'm cheering for you man!

    • @Jerod_Helt
      @Jerod_Helt  Рік тому +1

      Yeah, you need to consistently get millions of views per month to have any chance at living off the revenue from UA-cam. I currently average about 50k views per month and earn around $200.

    As a stray thought, have you considered taking your channel to a bonafide digital marketing agency to get their feedback on whether it can become a real moneymaker? These agencies are a dime a dozen and it seems that every other kid on the block is running one but maybe give a call to Hawke Media and Digital Niche Agency (DNA) in Los Angeles and have them take a look. I owned a successful analog agency before digital and now am trying to get a couple of smartphone apps to market. I go to a lot of the tech get-togethers in L.A. If the stars lined up I would go to either of these places for sales. You've got a quality product with known results. They could tell you whether the channel can become financially effective and how much it would cost you to give it a shot. It's worth making a call.
