I would rely less on vidIQ and other such tools and more on your gut. At the end if the day we tune in because we enjoy Jen’s personality and identify with her travel experiences.
I’ve always believed that the lessons we learn from what we think are failures are the best. Also no video is a failure. They are all helpful if only for comparison.
I stumbled across your videos, watched the first one and immediately subscribed! Im 58, in dire need of extra money. Just trying desperately to figure out what to do videos about. I'm not good at anything really, but I'll find something to do. Love your videos Jen, keep them coming. Very inspirational. Love from 🇨🇦
You never know what drives the peaks and valleys exactly - it depends on who is watching, what’s happening in their lives along with the ominous algorithm. It will all balance out in the end. You’re doing great!!
I want to see you succeed. Don't sweat it. Short of some weird viral thing, you won't see instant numbers. Success comes with time and effort. You'll need a depth of uploads and so on. You're on track just know your recipe may differ form the big names.
Thank you for the great information you are sharing ! I am slowly working /brainstorming on what my niche will be. I really appreciate your down to earth /relatable personality. You are a great fit for teaching me. Thx, Janelle
Honey, I didn't see the Edinburgh castle video, nor do I really want to. I want to hear from you; I want to hear your solutions, hacks for living well alone, and your philosophy on life. IMO, you are much more interesting than Edinburgh Castle. And mind you, I love history and seeing places in other countries. I can always Google the castle, but there is only one place I can find you. Please keep doing what you have been doing.
Still getting through your monetisation series. Great stuff! I recently switched to Davinci Resolve and am really liking the capabilities. Steep learning curve of course! 😅
Oh Jen… can you please stop talking? I wanna see the puppy 🐶! 😂😂😂😂 (just kidding) I love your channel and the videos. You are probably the first person I saw who is honest about building and monetizing a YT channel. Thanks a lot. You are very inspiring. I am excited to see and learn more! 🙋♀️🫶 Annie
I might be missing something but there are no links again - love your journey and you speak in the videos of sharing links but I cant find them. It could be me not knowing where to look yet but I always thought they were in the description below. I hope you havn't taken them off for Patreon so people have to pay. It was following your journey that really inspired me to have a go too. When I first watched I found the links but stupidly didn't write them down - all the very best in your channel. You are an inspiration to us all - that's worth everything to give hope to our Gen X generation xx
Hi Jen! You are incredibly strong..getting a lot of inspiration from you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I too am a small channel and in pursuit of growth and monetisation. Your videos are really helpful . Mine is an educational channel. Do you think if I too do this kind of series inspired by you, will it work ?
I love you go getting it attitude even when you don’t have perfect footage. I loved Edinburgh castle. It’s so beautiful there and being able to see the whole town from up there is fantastic!😊
It is frustrating, but it goes up and down. You can never tell beforehand which ones are going to do well or not. Keep going, I'm enjoying following your journey. x
I have been on UA-cam for 14 yrs or so & post here & there and it never occurred to me to try to grow my channel. I wished I did 14 yrs ago😁. Loving your content & your doggie running around.
Your short monetization videos keep me fascinated. As a non-creator, I don’t know anything about this topic, so I’d love a tutorial on UA-cam monetization. Thanks for your courage and tenacity in your videos.
Thanks for the kind of comments you leave for us, people trying to mentize their channels, the Davinci screen is extremely useful! is it just 10 seconds that provide a huge impact! and sharing your Mr. Beast´s comment, thank you for that also! I will keep it in my mind.
I love your videos and can so relate to you! Thanks so much for sharing. I also am 58 an looking to develop another stream of income with my UA-cam channel. I just started uploading videos in mid-February and right now have 94 subscribers. Your journey is VERY inspiring to me, so I have subscribed. Question: How many of your subscribers come from your UA-cam monetization journey as opposed to your travel content? I’m curious because I might do a series just like yours!☺️👍🏽
Hi, I happened across your channel a week or 2 ago and am working through your videos to support you. I am a writer soon to publish and you have inspired me to start building a youtube channel to build another income stream. Thank you! What is the small channel that you follow (you mention at the beginning of this video)?
hi Jen, I saw you mention Davinci Resolve, and I went to look for it but when I go to download it gives me 4 different pieces of software to choose from. I'm not sure which to use!? can you make a suggestion?
Please don't get discouraged. It could have been any number of things that caused the lack of full video watches last week. One statistic I don't think you have relayed to us is the demographic of your viewers. I assume most of your viewers are like me, an older solo woman interested in travel.
I would rely less on vidIQ and other such tools and more on your gut. At the end if the day we tune in because we enjoy Jen’s personality and identify with her travel experiences.
I appreciate this series.
I definitely stuck around till the end.
I’ve always believed that the lessons we learn from what we think are failures are the best. Also no video is a failure. They are all helpful if only for comparison.
Remember how many creators there are and how many videos get offered up. Time is your best friend right now. Be consistent and persevere.
Thanks Jen ❤

Mr. Beast?! That is BIG TIME there!!!
I want to see you succeed. Don't sweat it. Short of some weird viral thing, you won't see instant numbers. Success comes with time and effort. You'll need a depth of uploads and so on. You're on track just know your recipe may differ form the big names.
spot on
Thank you for the great information you are sharing ! I am slowly working /brainstorming on what my niche will be. I really appreciate your down to earth /relatable personality. You are a great fit for teaching me. Thx, Janelle
growing pains but it is worth it, keep on trucking
Hmm good advice …. Get straight into it”…. I like that
Thanks for the encouragement Jen. I’m scared to death but Im doing to do it. Im going to monetize my art channel.
So many possible reasons! Keep going!!! Part of the learning process!

I learn something from every one of your videos...even the 1st. 😀
Awesome! Thank you!
Still getting through your monetisation series. Great stuff! I recently switched to Davinci Resolve and am really liking the capabilities. Steep learning curve of course! 😅
You're a breath of fresh air! I'm on the same journey xoxo New subscriber
Keep your spirit up, you can do it.
Thanks!
Thanks so much!

Hi Jen, just learned of your channel and videos!! Love it.
Thanks Tim! Good luck!
Skye wears a bright red jingle bell! I love it!
I love your videos and all you have to offer. I wish I could tell you how to get those numbers up...

Hi Jen!
You are incredibly strong..getting a lot of inspiration from you.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I too am a small channel and in pursuit of growth and monetisation.
Your videos are really helpful .

Keep plugging away. We are counting on you.
Yay! Thank you for the great info!
I have been on UA-cam for 14 yrs or so & post here & there and it never occurred to me to try to grow my channel. I wished I did 14 yrs ago😁.

Pam here….love learning what you learned!

I see the snow is gone. From what I'm hearing from the youtube creators that I'm listening to is that ups and downs are normal.
it's cool to watch this knowing that a month-ish later you'll be monetized
To monetized, i think people has to watch your commercials. 👍
I’m binge watching your UA-cam series on monetizing. Lol! What’s you dogs name? Ty Jen!
Skye!

This was much better in terms of not cut off half of your face and interesting to hear the tips.
Working on my video-taking skills, lol!
Hi, I happened across your channel a week or 2 ago and am working through your videos to support you. I am a writer soon to publish and you have inspired me to start building a youtube channel to build another income stream. Thank you! What is the small channel that you follow (you mention at the beginning of this video)?
LOL! I'm not sharing all of my follows! Just another small UA-camr, nothing special.
That particular video might do better when it is sightseeing season/weather
Who gives the different colored arrows ? Vidiq or ?? Now your are gray ??
I think it's UA-cam doing the arrows. They have soooooo many different metrics available!
A possible way to get more views would be to do #DavinciResolveLearning or #learningfilmeditingafter50, maybe...I do know hashtags can help.
hi Jen, I saw you mention Davinci Resolve, and I went to look for it but when I go to download it gives me 4 different pieces of software to choose from. I'm not sure which to use!? can you make a suggestion?
The free one? It's been a while since I downloaded it. Just don't choose the one you pay for...that's unnecessary!
Please don't get discouraged. It could have been any number of things that caused the lack of full video watches last week. One statistic I don't think you have relayed to us is the demographic of your viewers. I assume most of your viewers are like me, an older solo woman interested in travel.
Older married woman here. Love to travel and wanting Jen to succeed in her journey.
Hi can you share with us what’s the program you use to make thumbnails? I love your personality and courage wish you much success. Keila
I'm using the paid version of Canva, but the free version can do Thumbnails too!
Me too that’s what I use great thank you
Do you do shorts? Have you considered doing them if not?
LOL! I have no time for Shorts, but I did get a Tik Tok account recently to keep up with my nieces...so who knows?
What is your puppy's name Jen?
