Yes please 🙏🏼 Would love to watch an update on your post monetization progress. And thank you for all your videos. So far I've watched every single one. And your Sunday vlog/walk videos multiple times. I enjoy putting them on in the background on my Sundays.🧡
Your channel is definitely gonna hit 1 million subscribers! You are the only UA-camr I have personally seen that's sharing your precise analytics and compensation without trying to sell people something. God bless you and continued success!
I loved that look. Your look was like you were amazed and still couldn't believe that there was money available only for you. I sense that money just for you is something you'd scarcely seen. Congratulations! I an really happy for you!❤
As someone who use to be a content creator.. don’t get lost in letting your subscribers dictate your channel. It will make you lose who you are. You will begin to feel burnout and no longer desire to make content.
I feel like this happens to many musicians as well. But yes, point taken. Just be yourself, as always. Something I will try to keep in mind as I'm adding material to my channel. 👍
So true. I have asked other content creators with a high number of subscribers for help and to subscribe to my channel, but they not only ignore to help me-they don't even answer me. I really enjoy this channel because Silver and Solo seem to genuinely care about people. It's hard to find that nowadays. I've been trying to grow my channel for months, and I'm stuck at 66 subscribers.
@@HoofbeatsWaggingtailsRanchyou dont have to ask for subscriptions in exchange for subscriptions. That's the less helpful action you can take, rather focus on the content and how you deliver information. Other channels don't have to subscribe to your channel to help you, they are not responsible for your lack of effort
@@Marisaurioo Oh, don’t be rude. I’m not lacking in effort-I’m actually trying to learn and working every day as best as I can. If you can’t be positive, at least don’t make rude comments. Also, I’ve seen many other subscribers trying to help people because they are good people and want others to succeed. The big accounts also started small. They also ask people to subscribe to their accounts in every single video. So, keep it classy.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAT! Holy smokes! I sat here all night and binged your entire series and I am blown away! I appreciate you going through your analytics page and digesting what each thing means. I found that to be very helpful. I really hope you continue to update us on your progress and your earnings for a little while so we can get an idea of where it goes. As I watch this right now you have 40.7k subscribers, and I just have to continue to hear about this journey. This was great!
Once or twice a month discuss a money topic. Some ideas, how much money I spent on groceries as a solo silver for June. How much money I spent on insurance a month. How I invest money as a silver solo. All things that we as soon to be retired need to know. Take us shopping sometime. Way to go Jen!
Agreed - anything money is an attractant for most of this audience. It is always interesting and potentially helpful to see how others deal with money and what it can do for us.
Agteed here from the UK too. This isn't being nosey, this is being very interested in a revenue stream that clearly, Jen, you've made such an unexpected (to you) success of! Xx
I also agree. I'd watch every single video on how to manage money. Like literally explaining to me like I'm five how to move money from my savings account into an index fund and maybe some T-bills. I have the money, but don't have a clue how to do that, and I DO NOT want to use some finance guy who will click a dozen buttons and expect a few grand for it. How to make yourself financially safe would be another one I'd love, if she knows about that. Like how to make yourself judgement proof. Or just anything else money-related. Really.
I am also 58 and work at a funeral home as a secretary … I have always worked a 2nd job … one day I thought I can’t physically do another job… so I brainstorm and ran across your videos … thank you for inspiring me as I am silver and solo too!!! Thank you for being real and proving that as a working senior the rest is still unwritten. ❤
I have wanted to start a channel since 2007, but I’ve been too afraid of what people might think.. isn’t that sad? You make it seem so achievable! You go, girl!
Jenn I have to tell you that I've watched A LOT of YT videos on various topics and YOU my friend have made the BIGGEST IMPACT on my life in multiple ways! 1. I love how you are just a REAL person! Meaning you're not changing who you are for the camera or for money or for likes etc. 2. You openly sharing your personal story about being let go from your job of 22 years struck a cord with me! Your COURAGE, CONFIDENCE & WILLINGNESS to just be forthright and open and honest with your viewers with no regard for the outcome ENCOURAGED me in a way that I cannot even explain! 3. You GENUINELY sharing your lack of knowledge of any kind about YT before you started your channel and then filming the entire process of working on getting monetized in order to HELP other people in their journeys down the road is like WOW! Again the honesty and forthrightness is to be RESPECTED! 4. You ACTUALLY sharing your monetized information with your viewers the way that you have is ABSOLUTELY UNHEARD of! (Those ppl that I have seen so it didn't seem real to me at all.) THIS information is what people like myself (who've thought about "trying" to start my own YT channel) REALLY need to KNOW in order to make an informed decision! 5. Your GENUINENESS, KIND SPIRIT, HONESTY, WELL SPOKEN, EDUCATED, DOWN TO EARTHNESS (not a word I know, Haha😂) are truly something to behold! Jenn I feel like you and I could be fast friends given the opportunity! So much more I'd really low to share with you but not on a public forum. So let me just leave you with this. YOU have just BLESSED me and ENCOURAGED me during a time in my life that I desperately need it! I BELIEVE in my heart that The Lord lead me to your videos tonight and that my life is going to change in a positive way because of YOU! YOU are an INSPIRATION to us ALL! Praying for your continued success my friend! Much RESPECT coming your way from your new friend in Texas! Thank YOU!!!❤
Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾🎈 One piece of advice. Stop calling your channel “little”. You are an inspiration to a lot of people. There is nothing little about that. Own your contribution to what is good on these platforms. Good luck on your continued journey and success 👍🏾
OMG Jen, I am feeling soooooo inspired by you. I, too, am being made redundant in a matter of weeks, which means now I am looking for ways of making money without having to go out to work for someone else. I am 53 years old, silver and solo just like you!! You are amazing!! Thank you and CONGRATULATIONS!
That's honestly amazing achievement, and thanks for providing your insight. Getting that first paycheck from UA-cam is one of my favorite memories. I still remember it, there was lots of emotions involved. If it wasn't for my consistency and hard work (and a little bit of Famester of course), I probably wouldn't have made anything.
Congratulations Jen! I have been recommending Silver and Solo to friends and church who are silver and solo. Thank you for putting all this information out here for us.
There’s something about you, and I can’t quite place it. I’m watching you .. and it feels like you’re ‘winning’ (I hope my comment doesn’t jinx it) .. but most importantly, it feels like I’m ‘winning’ WITH you. There’s something very genuine about your subdued but earnest style. It ‘clicks.’ Your toned down cautiously optimistic happiness gave me a little jolt of happiness, too. This, on a platform where grief, anger, and woe seems too prevalent. It feels like a little glimpse of the very early unfulfilled promise of what UA-cam could be as a platform.
I’m in my 30s… and you motivate me to not be afraid of trying something, anything! Because time will pass regardless, I might as well try my best while I wait for my grays. Sending you good vibes and good energy! I’ll be back to check on how you doing ❤
God does everything for a wise purpose, you lost your job and I know it must be very painful then but now you are doing better working for yourself monetizing your channel, walking your dog, and enjoying life. I believe when negative things happen to us there is always a more positive and much better things will come to us. God bless u Jen keep up the good work❤❤❤
For anyone who's curious: RPM is Revenue Per Mille, a metric that represents how much money you've earned per 1000 views. It's based on several revenue sources included ads, channel memberships, youtube premium revenue, super chat, and super stickers. CPM can be found by dividing the amount the advertiser paid for an ad by the number of views a video has.
There's something about you, hun, that is warm and genuine. This is the second video I have watched of you and feel a sense of possibility and hope. Thank you. I'm in my early 30s, in a job that is too stressful and demanding. Searching for finanical freedom and a stress-free life.
Just saw your video and subscribed immediately. One of the most honest content creator that I have seen and you have a great and comedic sense of humor.
Love your videos. Congratulations 👍🏻 It’s so awesome to watch you and your channel continue to grow. You’re an inspiration to us older people living alone and learning new things. Looking forward to following your journey.
Hearty Congratulations, Jen! So interesting to see what a monetized channel makes. Thank you for sharing this info. Beyond this, I appreciate your topics, your transparency, and your presentation style -- you "keep it real." Watching you feels like checking in with a friend a couple of times a week. ❤
I mentioned your video to someone by telling them how uplifting you were (to us singles out here). Keep up the good work, you made the system work for you!
Congratulations!!! I just happened upon your channel a couple of weeks ago and now I've got to go back and start from the beginning. It's good to know that we are helping you while you are helping us.
Congratulations! Here's my problem. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer and I don't believe this could happen to me. I'll keep watching you. I need dog and cat food, plus vet care for them. ❤
Well done, Jen! Your hard work is certainly paying dividends. Continuing to look forward to your videos - it’s great being one of the Silver and Solo Squad 😊 Enjoy the rest of your weekend ❤
Hello, My name is Val and you have just inspired me as a 57 year old that is interested in Youtubing and did not know where to start. I am relating to you because you share the basics without the flash and expensive gear. This is great and I hope you continue to grow and share. Be well❤
Good for you I am a complete introvert who is forced to be an extrovert for work I would absolutely want no part of being on videos so glad others provide content
Congratulations, you have earned every cent! Thank you for the look behind the You Tube curtain, it's very interesting how it all works and glad it is playing into your travel plans!
This is so awesome congratulations! I’ve never seen those kind of numbers, but your channel encourages me that I may be able to! Keep up the good work!
This is amazing, Jen! What a wonderful story and so neat to see the joy in your sharing. Thank you for that sharing, which can encourage us out here that new and surprising ventures can befall us. Love it and appreciate you 🪴
Your video just popped up and i love what you are doing and so excited to watch your progress! You are such an inspiration! I'm in my 50s and i am excited to see what all you are doing! I'm cheering for you friend!! Now I'm off to watch your other videos! 😊
You have me completely inspired!!! My channel is not yet monetized, but I’m getting back to work on it ASAP. I often talk about retirement and retirement alternatives. You are such a lovely person, so happy for your success (and I see some of your newer videos are doing great!!)
Hi!! Congratulations on your success! You're smashing it. Ive watched most of your series (will definitely watch all of it later) just wanted to let you know you've motivated me to finally start. And i wanted to document my journey as well, so even better. I've recorded two long form videos this evening after watching a few videos of yours! Thank you , you were the push i needed after months of planning but not doing anything
Congratulations. I actually subscribed after finding that one video you mentioned. Now you will be getting a 1099 and need to start filing taxes on a schedule C. You'll be able to write off all your expenses and your home office making these videos.
@@silverandsolo so Canadian tax system is nothing like USA in the way small businesses are taxed? I didn't realize your tax system is so very different. Well congrats to you and I find your channel very interesting and wish you all the best and pray your channel continues to grow
Hi Michelle Thank you for the reminder about the tax deductions ! Kate 🍃 PS a long time ago I had a good friend called michael youngblood, he was an artist in san diego, it’s such an unusual name, when I saw your post, it reminded me of him … he was such a lovely man 😊
Good for you! So happy for you!! I’ve been thinking of starting a channel for about a year now and I’m hesitating to make the plunge… You’ve inspired me! Subscribed…
Congratulations and thank you for sharing the exact details.So many people don't and of course, that's their prerogative, but if you're someone thinking about trying this, it's nice to know the possibilities.So I so appreciate tdad and I feel like i'm listening to a good friend when I watch your Videos, so thank you. Look forward to your next one.
Absolutely sooooooooooo happy for you and your accomplishments! Keep up the amazing momentum! I started a small sustainable travel company in April of 2023 and posted my first YT video a couple months later. Slow growing, and I know I need to get my face out there more! Got sidelined with back fusion surgery last Fall, but doing great now and looking forward watching the rest of your videos for some more inspiration! Thanks for sharing your phenomenal journey!
Congratulations, Jen! I've heard creators say they average $300-400 per video when they have about 80k subscribers. You show that the amount can vary greatly per video. It's enough to make the time spent filming and editing worth it as a hobby that brings income, which is great. The average has to go up a lot to make this a creator's main job, but then they're also putting more time into it.
This is amazing and very inspiring! Thanks for being transparent. I have been telling myself I want to make UA-cam videos but keep putting it off for the same reasons like everyone else. You just gave me a kick on the butt!! ❤
THANK YOU, Silver and Solo! For this information! Congratulations! On your income! You Did It!Felicidades! Keep up the good work! May God continue to Bless You!
I just found your channel. I’m a single 41 year old mom. I love watching your channel, you are so authentic. I just feel like I took a walk with a friend ❤
Jen, this makes me so happy to see! I have always wondered how the UA-cam world and monetization works. I appreciate you sharing this experience with us. Sending you positive vibes for a super prosperous remainder of 2024!
So excited for you! I’m borderline staring. A journey on UA-cam .. at age 49.. and still don’t feel like showing my face. You’re so brave! And beautiful :)
Thank you for sharing this with us. We are just getting started and have no clue how the algorithm is working so we hope to find similar success very soon. Well done!!
Hi Jen I just watched your video and I felt compelled to say firstly, boy did I need that. And secondly, you are incredibly likable. I just started my UA-cam channel a week ago and I have four subscribers and I’ve been furiously trying to figure out how to make content and then posting it. I’m doing pretty good for my first time, but lack of subscribers has me questioning if this is the right move. Attempting to monetize social media is some thing that was born out of the beloved wildly successful company started and enjoyed for 10 years has hit a crossroads. After watching your video, I thought, gee maybe I should post about that too. Going to go watch all the rest of your videos. I would consider myself honored if you would be one of my followers. I think you really were what I needed today.
I just went and watched a few of your videos and subscribed! You are definitely skilled in making beautiful videos. I'm still trying to learn all that. Good luck with you channel! I think you will do awesome!
Hello, when you revealed the revenue for that month, I could literally hear you screaming out loud without hearing you scream 🤣 Your excitement didn't need to have any sound LOL. WELL DONE!! Congrats!
We need an update after 6 months of being monetized! this is so inspirational and so helpful.
Yes please 🙏🏼 Would love to watch an update on your post monetization progress. And thank you for all your videos. So far I've watched every single one. And your Sunday vlog/walk videos multiple times. I enjoy putting them on in the background on my Sundays.🧡

Wow, thank you!
Yes and it is so appreciated! ❤😊
"This is for me." And the look of achievement and satisfaction. I got lost in that moment with you! Congratulations!
That was amazing❤
It was the silent cheer for me! ❤
Congratulations 🎉 so inspiring ❤️thank you for sharing ❤

Very true comment
Nice authentic insight
That is really good advice. I will take that advice for my own self/channel.
You are the first UA-camr who (geniunely) openly share their revenues. I really thank you for this. Keep learning i'd say will eventually pay off.
Right!?!! I’ve always wondered! This is fantastic. Transparency finally
So true. I have asked other content creators with a high number of subscribers for help and to subscribe to my channel, but they not only ignore to help me-they don't even answer me.

85K in 2nd week of October ❤
I did too!!

Agreed - anything money is an attractant for most of this audience. It is always interesting and potentially helpful to see how others deal with money and what it can do for us.
Agteed here from the UK too. This isn't being nosey, this is being very interested in a revenue stream that clearly, Jen, you've made such an unexpected (to you) success of! Xx

I have the money, but don't have a clue how to do that, and I DO NOT want to use some finance guy who will click a dozen buttons and expect a few grand for it.
How to make yourself financially safe would be another one I'd love, if she knows about that. Like how to make yourself judgement proof. Or just anything else money-related. Really.
@@Liberal.Linda. agree with you 👍 age 5 😉😂😂
I’m curious how you will plan for tax on this new income stream. Could be an interesting video.
This is one video that honestly breaks down UA-cam earnings, even better than some big UA-cam channels that always talks about UA-cam hacks
I just keep saying under my breath, “you go girl!!” I don’t know you but I’m so happy for you! Way to go!
I'm so impressed! Not just with how fast you monetized, but with the high amount of earnings. Never would have expected that so early. Good for you!
I love that you acknowledge it makes no sense on how UA-cam calculates your revenue. I’m amazed at how much you’re making.

My channel is not yet monetized, but I’m getting back to work on it ASAP. I often talk about retirement and retirement alternatives.
You are such a lovely person, so happy for your success (and I see some of your newer videos are doing great!!)
You are such an inspiration! I am so happy for you! May your channel continue to grow exponentially. 👏🏻🎉🎉😄🌹
This is so awesome!!! ❤
I’m genuinely so happy for you! ❤❤
👍great job! Having knowledge of, the experience topped with excellent communication skills on a specific topic gets it rolling!
Hi!! Congratulations on your success! You're smashing it. Ive watched most of your series (will definitely watch all of it later) just wanted to let you know you've motivated me to finally start. And i wanted to document my journey as well, so even better.
I've recorded two long form videos this evening after watching a few videos of yours! Thank you , you were the push i needed after months of planning but not doing anything
Congrats. Love the advice. I am happy you are getting paid for them.
Thank you for being transparent.
Congratulations. I actually subscribed after finding that one video you mentioned. Now you will be getting a 1099 and need to start filing taxes on a schedule C. You'll be able to write off all your expenses and your home office making these videos.
Thanks for the sub! I'm actually Canadian, but, yes...taxes etc. What a whirlwind!
@@silverandsolo so Canadian tax system is nothing like USA in the way small businesses are taxed? I didn't realize your tax system is so very different. Well congrats to you and I find your channel very interesting and wish you all the best and pray your channel continues to grow
Hi Michelle
Thank you for the reminder
about the tax deductions !

PS
a long time ago I had a good
friend called michael youngblood, he was an artist in san diego, it’s such an unusual name, when I saw your post, it reminded me of him … he was such a lovely man 😊
@@katie2412 Hi Kate. It is an unusual name I thought too when I met my husband. I married into it and really like it lol.
Thanks for posting the monetary info. It is not only inspiring but very helpful! 🎉
Congratulations and kudos Jen! I am so happy and proud for you. Keep up the videos and we'll keep watching them. 😊❤👍 --Paula from Ohio USA
Good for you! So happy for you!! I’ve been thinking of starting a channel for about a year now and I’m hesitating to make the plunge… You’ve inspired me! Subscribed…
Congratulations and thank you for sharing the exact details.So many people don't and of course, that's their prerogative, but if you're someone thinking about trying this, it's nice to know the possibilities.So I so appreciate tdad and I feel like i'm listening to a good friend when I watch your Videos, so thank you. Look forward to your next one.
Thank you so much!
This is awesome sauce.
Absolutely sooooooooooo happy for you and your accomplishments! Keep up the amazing momentum! I started a small sustainable travel company in April of 2023 and posted my first YT video a couple months later. Slow growing, and I know I need to get my face out there more! Got sidelined with back fusion surgery last Fall, but doing great now and looking forward watching the rest of your videos for some more inspiration! Thanks for sharing your phenomenal journey!
Congratulations, Jen! I've heard creators say they average $300-400 per video when they have about 80k subscribers. You show that the amount can vary greatly per video. It's enough to make the time spent filming and editing worth it as a hobby that brings income, which is great. The average has to go up a lot to make this a creator's main job, but then they're also putting more time into it.
This is amazing and very inspiring! Thanks for being transparent. I have been telling myself I want to make UA-cam videos but keep putting it off for the same reasons like everyone else. You just gave me a kick on the butt!! ❤
Yayyyyy! So happy for you!!! I am working my way! Thank you for sharing and being so honest and positive!!
Good morning and congrats Jen!! ❤
THANK YOU, Silver and Solo! For this information! Congratulations! On your income! You Did It!Felicidades! Keep up the good work! May God continue to Bless You!
Thanks so much!!
So happy for you! I hope to follow in your footsteps, but I’m not getting it done. You are killing it! Go girl!
I love how amazed you are!! Brilliant video! Well done you. Keep up the great work!!
Congratulations!!! I enjoy your videos✨
Thank you! My husband and I started a channel over a year ago and I’m going to watch your series!!!! ❤
Oh my goodness, I’ve never made this amount of money my whole 7 plus years on UA-cam!💰
I just found your channel. I’m a single 41 year old mom. I love watching your channel, you are so authentic. I just feel like I took a walk with a friend ❤
Jen, this makes me so happy to see! I have always wondered how the UA-cam world and monetization works. I appreciate you sharing this experience with us. Sending you positive vibes for a super prosperous remainder of 2024!
YOU ARE MY HERO! I love this for you. I wanted to get onto this and my imposter syndrome held me back. I'm going for it now.
Thank you Jen! Excellent information. Truly inspiring. Don’t stop!
So excited for you! I’m borderline staring. A journey on UA-cam .. at age 49.. and still don’t feel like showing my face. You’re so brave! And beautiful :)
What an achievement, congratulations! After 4 years my channel only won 331 subscribers. Just carry on.
It's really tough man
Thank you for sharing this with us. We are just getting started and have no clue how the algorithm is working so we hope to find similar success very soon. Well done!!
You are so welcome!
LOL I love the smile you gave just before you said how much you had hoped to make, you're so cute
Congratulations! And thank you for your transparency. This was inspiring.
You are so welcome!
Hi Jen I just watched your video and I felt compelled to say firstly, boy did I need that. And secondly, you are incredibly likable. I just started my UA-cam channel a week ago and I have four subscribers and I’ve been furiously trying to figure out how to make content and then posting it. I’m doing pretty good for my first time, but lack of subscribers has me questioning if this is the right move. Attempting to monetize social media is some thing that was born out of the beloved wildly successful company started and enjoyed for 10 years has hit a crossroads. After watching your video, I thought, gee maybe I should post about that too. Going to go watch all the rest of your videos. I would consider myself honored if you would be one of my followers. I think you really were what I needed today.
I just went and watched a few of your videos and subscribed! You are definitely skilled in making beautiful videos. I'm still trying to learn all that. Good luck with you channel! I think you will do awesome!
@@ItsLilJeannie Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I feel like I'm just making them for me and the crickets ;)
@GoodnessHavens I have had that same feeling at time's 😆 We got this!!
@@ItsLilJeannie About 50 times a day!
Thank you so much for just being who you are. Helping so many people now. 🙂
Hello, when you revealed the revenue for that month, I could literally hear you screaming out loud without hearing you scream 🤣 Your excitement didn't need to have any sound LOL. WELL DONE!! Congrats!
MAGNIFICENT!!! 🎉 I can’t wait to see videos on where you travel this next year!
