    Good stuff. Although the earnings aren't huge for small channels like ours, it's nice that it covers the costs of things like pots, substrates etc. And occasionally treating yourself to some new plants now and then. Cheers for sharing us, mate. Happy growing 👍🏻🌵☀️🌼🏜

      Yeah that's my philosophy. This isn't a day job, it's an existing hobby that I happen to be filming. My ambitions remain modest, and ours is a pretty small niche anyway! 😁

    Quality video and very informative. As another commenter said it is inspiring to see videos like this.

    Thanks for sharing this info as it's really useful to someone like me who only started a gardening channel fairly recently. It can be a bit disheartening to spend so much time making videos without getting many views, so videos like this are encouraging. Thanks and congrats on the success of your channel!

      Thank you! I think it's easy to become obsessed with numbers and the algorithm and forget why we started doing this. I'm still making videos for myself - if anyone else likes them that's a bonus!

    Good video and we’ll done. Noticed you have euphorbia mellifera in the garden. Another dead easy propagation plant from cuttings this time of year. The red persicaria is ‘red dragon’. I’d recommend you look at hakonechloa grasses and aeonium velour as two other potential propagation plants for the exotic garden. Good luck in your venture. 👍

    Really interesting video thanks. I wondered how UA-cam worked in terms of paying for content.

      Yeah there are plenty of hoops to jump through, plus taxes to sort out, but I'm happy with a bit of residual income trickling in. I'm not going to earn a packet in this small niche anyway! 😀

      Let's see how it goes as it is taking restraint to save the money up for some bigger purchases. No more impulse buys! 😄

    How many minutes do you advise the videos should atleast be. So if I have like hundreds of videos each with minimum of 1 minute and maximum of 3 minutes, will my revenue be less? And do u get more if u have more subscribers or not

    • @greatnorthernexotic
      @greatnorthernexotic  5 місяців тому +1

      UA-cam pays per ad view. Videos under 8 minutes long will only show an ad or ads before it. If you make it over 8 minutes, have the option to add another ad in the middle that's why you'll see a lot of videos just over 8 minutes long. Number of subs makes no difference to revenue, only view count. And shorts pay almost nothing.
