🎉 greetings from coastal Mississippi. I have watched you since July 2019. You are my favourite brit. Joel, you are a treasure and I really appreciate you. 😂
So interesting. I know the creators that make very little outweigh the creators that make enough to live on…Thank you for sharing. I do know a pair of creators that started On YT more than 17 years ago that ending up selling their company for millions. I appreciate the knowledge you’ve shared with us on this video,
Thank you for sharing this and being so upfront and honest about it, Joel. So many creators refuse to talk about the financial side of things and I think it makes people believe alot of misinformation or misconceptions because they have no idea what the truth is. This is why I have been a viewer of yours for so long, because I feel like u are honest and upfront about things, and u let us into your world and let us feel like we actually mean something to you as well. It ends up feeling more like a casual friendship rather than business to a consumer relationship.
I think it is fascinating about UA-cam and pay. I follow this 30 year old who has done UA-cam since she was a young teenager for fun. I watched her bc I thought news reporting was interesting career (I feel the same about flight attendant) and she popped up in my algorithm. Anywho, She went to college, became a news reporter, got up at 2:30 am and was really not enjoying her job after 5 or 6 years reporting. She was feeling really unwell a lot, she would have night sweats, anxiety and sleep walking because she was so stressed by her job and all the things. Like stressing over, over sleeping, if there would be breaking news or if her story she planned would still be the story when she woke up, etc. A little over a year ago. She decided to quit reporting after in one month she made more on YT than she made a year in salary reporting. She thought why keep doing this job and being miserable when I could continue YT until I want to go back to corporate work if ever. She has been so happy since she left her job at news reporting.
I love you, and I love your videos. And I can see the effort you put into making them. I get a little jealous at times that you are able to do things you love, or do some ordinary things like taking the dogs for a walk, going out to eat, etc., and making a video out of it. You thus get paid for doing things the rest of us don't get paid for. But the fact is you somehow make those everyday things interesting enough for people to watch! I mean, I never thought I would sit and watch someone taking his dogs for a walk! So you deserve it. I can't afford to become a member or to send you gifts...I wish I could. But I do enjoy watching what I can.
I love UA-cam, too, Joel!! You are so good at articulating and carefully explaining what you do. I was a minor content creator and I KNOW how much work goes into what you do!! It's A. LOT. 😄Oh, and I HATE MUSHROOMS, too, hahahaha!! Thanks, Joel. 😁
Congrats on 83K subscribers. We need to help you get to 100K. BTW, how's the voiceover, acting gigs going? I just realized that my loyalty badge changed... I have been a VIP member of your channel for two years and a day. 💻
Joel, I love your videos! Will you please do a video for Americans that want to know the cost of living in England? You could show some homes and show how much it cost to rent or buy a home there. You could do another video showing the cost of food, gas, and other daily cost. I think there are a lot of people that are considering relocating there. Thanks!
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing about how all of this YouTubing works. I have no doubt that you work hard, and you clearly put a lot of thought and effort into your content. And BTW, I definitely find your Instagram content funny. 😊
Thank you. I was curious how it all worked and you did a good job explaining the process. You run a good channel and it’s a form of entertainment. Therefore, it’s each person’s own decision as to the value of that Video. It’s called free enterprise. Keep up the good work!
Many thanks Joel. I've just come out of a 6 week period of a false 'invalid traffic claim' which reduced my income by 50% but it seems to have sorted itself out now. After 12 years I was on the verge of giving it all up but watching this has given me the motivation to give it another few months to see if it improves. Thank you.
This was super insightful Joel, Thank you!! Someone suggested I start on UA-cam following my sisters journey through brain cancer and our side hustle with Essential oils… I doubt myself in getting the viewership.. love your videos!! Love your closing pic of you at Yonge Street and Front by the train station in TDot!!
Great video and very informative. Good that you managed to get the "Finance"/"Income" aspect in there. Hope this is now your highest paying video for you. (Mostly the ads on this video are for dog food and cameras so far). The only reason I haven't become a member is that I follow so many content creators on UA-cam, that I'd be bankrupt if I became a member of all my favorites, and I'm not even on UA-cam all the time! I follow Keegan and your joint Channel, listen to the HHH podcasts when walking my dogs, so your content has encouraged me to subscribe to other contents. Good work.
A very informative and interesting video. Thank you for sharing this with us Joel! (BTW... Your Instagram and Keegan's Instagram clips are hysterical!)
I find your vlogs and IG content fun and entertaining! This was very interesting and to know that you always have viewers in mind is true to your good heart. Always love ya!❤
The videos where creators talk about their income usually make me uncomfortable because I don’t think it is my business. I like that you just gave some examples and didn’t total up you income. Loved the video (as always). 😊
When you got that Pepsi brand deal and I saw the videos I was so excited for you! That’s a HUGE brand!! Also, that drop and roll in public was impressive 😂
an excellent video and I really appreciated learning so much about UA-cam. I enjoy the videos you make and I look forward to your next one. The problem as I see it however, is not for the fact that are ads but that there are so many ads it destroys the effect of the video playing. It is bad enough that ads have ruined TV but to have so many more on UA-cam, it is just too much! I just got through with a problem with UA-cam and I am so frustrated with them I can't see straight. They have no one to talk with about any problem that arises so one is stuck out in left field with no one to turn to! Here in the US they have also restricted certain types of free speech and that is a bummer so where I once enjoyed UA-cam, except for those channels I subscribe to, UA-cam sucks and with this latest problem, I am afraid that this is the beginning of the end for internet and UA-cam and I hate that because I do enjoy watching all those that I subscribe too. Take care and have a nice evening!
That was a really good and informative video, Joel! I think you work very hard! And I think you are soooo funny on Instagram! Once again, thank you for all the happiness you bring me! The only thing better than watching your videos would be sitting together in a cafe and sharing a millionaire slice together over a coffee or tea, like we did in Scotland. Loved chatting with you! 😊
Wow! Thanks so much for your candor and for raising the 'hem' on how You Tube works. Like others have said, this is work! Congrats on your success and wishing you and Keegan many more into the future. Cheers.
It’s been a while since you’ve done a stitch fix video. I always found those interesting. Just an idea. I’m trying to figure out the whole toilet seat idea! 🚽 🤔
Hey @thejoelwood, another great vid! Thanks for sharing this. You went through all the points I was hoping for that I learned as I built my YT channel (not under this name though lol). It was fun to hear your take on all of it thoroughly compared to what I've learned. Before this I never considered different CPM/RPM for different locations, but it's logical, for the reasons you stated. I think the top 3 are US, UK, AU? Anyway, I've been watching you and Lia since probably around 2015 and love you both (I miss the 2 of you; hopefully y'all can do cameos sometimes 😁.) You were one of my inspirations for my channel, so thank you! Looking forward to more, as always! (By the way, I always have such secret fun seeing your stats on VidIQ when I visit! 😜!)
Wow!!! I finally understand. I could never really figure out how views/subs/ads worked. You were so clear. Thanks!! What about people like me (sorry?) who do pay for YT premium? Am I a freeloader? Do you not earn any money from me? I always imagine liking, viewing and commenting at least adds to the algorithm which will send your videos to more people. I try and comment on every video just for that reason. I know the struggle with making videos. As a teacher over quarantine, I made a video for math, reading comprehension, writing, phonics, each 4x a week, which was 16 videos. And then once a week, music, art, science and social studies. So that's 20 videos a week. They were never longer than 15 minutes each. I would go into my empty school one day a week, and film from 7:30 in the morning to 5 at night. It was exhausting. Luckily I have a background in theater and honestly thought it was super fun.
I love the way you set this shot up reminds me of your old London videos when you used to set up on the bed in front of the window love how intimate this makes it feel
It drives me crazy how people feel the need to turn how hard they work, compared to other people, into some weird competition! I am THRILLED for anyone that can support themselves, without working their fingers to the bone for 80 hours a week. That's a beautiful thing, and that leaves more time to actually enjoy your life!❤
Fascinating, you were always hesitant about discussing this subject before, but I'm glad you decided to share more about it. Joel, you deserve every penny, I really appreciate your ability to engage and incorporate what's going on in your life making it fun to watch. Keep on keeping on, Lol. Thanks for the class, see you soon!
As soon as you said I don't know what ads come on my videos, an ad for airbnb and Reeses candy came on 😆. You like Reeses right? Anyway you're doing great! I enjoy watching your videos!
Very fascinating Joel. You answered questions that I had, questions that I didn’t know I had and questions that I would never dream of asking. Now YT views, numbers, analytics is starting to make sense to this old lady.
Great to have that level of honesty! I like the fact that you admit to all the pros and the cons and their balance so to speak! People want to know and not just those viewng your channel. Hope this goes viral for you my friend! At least others would finally know the truth about a internet influencer. There is greatness in you and don't forget!!!!! 🥰
Great video. People always want to know how Utubers make money. I just think filming all the time would be difficult. I don't care how much you make I just love videos and find them very entertaining and honest. Keep up the good work. 👍😊💕
Hey Joel. I love your videos and am happy that you make money for all of the effort you put into it. What you earn is none of my business nor anybody else's. I liked how you explained how it works though. Love the leafy plant you have in the room. Best air filter. Glad you convinced Keegan, lol
I appreciate you sharing this with us. It’s very interesting. Also I like the content on your and Keegans channels. To me it’s like catching up with an old friend. I love what you guys do for the community.
Joel this is awesome as long as you happy.i just enjoy when you take us for Long puppy walks are a walk through the townships I truly fine those to be so enjoyable along with you an the family. Have agreat weekend hugs to all 🏳️🌈❤️🦋
Joel; I've watched you and Keegan for a long time now. Quietly. THIS video is so honest about personal UA-cam's. Thanks! P.s. When I'm in England next time, I'd love to spot you all a pint 🍺
Very interesting, ive always wanted to know the technical side of youtube and money! At 6:01 when you're talking about advertising a switch one came up and i launched 😂 I'm an American but that is funny and interesting!🇺🇲😁 😂 but your welcome Joel! But been watching for 9 years! I wished I didn't have a boss! Your job sounds hard 50/50 and fun!!
Joel, thanks for sharing this information. You cleared up a lot of things…. I love how you educate your audience. But, the ones I fancy are when you’re out and about in the countryside. You’re very good at drawing your people in. I swear one day I’ll be visiting the UK and of course checking out those bakery shops you talk about. Be well and blessings, always Alex from LA💙🙏🌴
Absolutely love your honesty and lack of pretentiousness - it's so refreshing compared with many other (mainly American) UA-camrs. I also found the whole UA-cam remuneration system fascinating so I imagine, if others feel the same, this video might turn out to be a big earner! 👍
You are amazing Joel. I really appreciate this video and better understanding how to support you. I am totally going to become a member now! You have inspired me since day one with just being real. I truly appreciate you and also Keegan. You guys always make me smile and knowing I am helping you in some small way is a good thing! One quesiton I had was how much do you charge Keegan to help him with his UA-cam editing? :-) Just kidding. Thanks so much for all the happiness you have brought to my life through Covid and beyond! BIG HUG!
Income tax I would imagine also eats into your figure. As far as ads, that is the reason I use UA-cam Premium AND when youtube channels go into "selling" I click away and go elsewhere. My UA-cam preferences are old movies and TV shows. Glad that the bulk of my income comes from unearned income (investments). We enjoy watching your channel. I think that if you do more videos of you and Keegan "away on a couple's weekend" at a nice destination, that would earn some money. More of "The day and live of Joel & Keegan", more of the same. I think that is what many come to see. Personally, I like "Joel in a new town and new relationship". Another favorite channel Cruise with Ben & David. They are constant cruisers and wonder if they spend more time at sea rather than land. What I like about them, two friendly people discussing their cruise by taking the viewer along for the ride. That I think is what keeps viewers coming back.
Joel, I love watching your videos but do you ever take a breath? You can chat away about anything! Anyway, you are one of my favorite UA-camrs. Keep up the good work! Best wishes from Florida.
Interesting video Joel, you covered a lot of questions I had. One thing you didn't cover though, is what is the importance of the number of 'likes' and 'comments' that is sought by UA-camrs? Also, 4000 hours seems an awful lot of content to create before you start earning? How long did that take you to achieve?
Thank you Joel for this video. You are so entertaining and I watch you all the time on You Tube and Instagram and I live in Florida So I’m happy you make more money from viewers in the states My husband tells me all the time, you should make You Tube videos And I say oh no it’s too much work. LOL
Very interesting...I've wondered how it all works. I've never understood why people judge how much money someone can earn at their job. As long as it's legal and not hurting anyone, why not be happy for everyone's success? I enjoy the videos I choose to watch on a regular basis so why shouldn't the creators make money for their entertainment content? I do find the ads irritating at times but not so much that I'm willing to pay a monthly fee so that's on me. It actually helps to know you are getting something from it. I wish you continued success!
This was great, Joel. You dealt with all the issues in an honest, interesting way. Thanks for sharing. Glad you are honest about products that you believe in. That really makes a difference. I love your style, values and......well, I just like youj!!
Joel, do those of us who have YT premium does your income change because we do not see those ads especially when they are the higher priced ad companies? Or do you even know that deep in the weeds?
From construction to acting, farming to Youtubing, I have learned you will spend 40-60 hours a week making a living. Some people make more, some less, but even confidence men and gamblers have to work 40-60 hours a week. I find what people do for a living interesting, and was kinda surprised when I realised we all work about the same amount.
I love the video. It was really interesting. I always wondered how it all worked. Kudos to all you creators. I couldn't do it. I hate whenever people criticize creators, the critics obviously don't have the courage to do it.
Joel, thank you for explaining how it all works. It is very interesting. I would love to upload videos but I have no idea what I would talk about, lol. I think you work very hard, because I don't think I could do all you do. I have always loved you and your videos. I think you are such a kind person. 🌹🥰
This was a really interesting vlog, Joel, thanks for doing it. It definitely did help explain your income sources, but it also made me feel nervous for you, since things can be so unpredictable. Let’s hope this video gets lots of views! 😂 As for the brand deals - I give you so much credit for not just endorsing anything, it would be hard not to accept the income. But it’s just another reason why we love you and your videos, because you are authentic in all you do. 🥰 And you should never change, because as you said, you could lose viewers in the long run, and we wouldn’t want you to leave YT! ☹️ But I will say that we do need that toilet seat IG/TikTok post, I’m so curious what you were planning. 🤣 Enjoy Miami! 🌞
This was truly very interesting and worthwhile. I have admired you all this time for your creativity, as well as being a genuine nice, down to earth person. You have the right attitude of not putting too much pressure on yourself to do this job. If you did, you would not be as genuine nor even enjoy your work. That is the most important thing - to enjoy and love your work. I was fortunate in my career as a healthcare financial consultant. I loved the company, my clients, my co-workers and the value that I brought to my customers. Good for you and thank you!!! Regards!
Thank you so much for this! I love the behind the scenes info. And while you owe no one any sort of explanation, I'm really grateful to have a much better understanding of how it works to be a content creator and even the financial aspect of it which I did not have a clue about. I've always been impressed that you can do as much as you do and now I just have even more respect for all of what you put into each and every little clip. I know it was a lot but now I really have a better idea.
lol it's always interesting because as viewers we have no idea what kind of money you guys make. Well, I simply don't have the personality to do youtube as a living, I'm too self-conscious lol. Appreciate that you do it and I enjoy a lot of your videos 🙂
Thanks for letting us in on the UA-cam world of finance. LOL As usual you made a complicated topic easy to understand. I wish you nothing but the best in both your private and professional futures.
I have a question, maybe for next time. You commented that Views are important but what is considered a view? If I just pop in on a video but decide I don’t like or am not interested in the content and quickly exit does that count as a view or do I have to stay for the entire video for it to count as a view? For example I might see a video that sounds like it might be interesting content but then I open it and the Utuber is just obnoxious but thinks they are being very clever and I will close it down without a LIKE. That leads to another question. How important are LIKES and what happens if you give it a thumbs down? By the way you are not one of those obnoxious ones I am talking about. Love your content and have been subscribed for long time. Thanks for your honesty.
This was an interesting video and you presented it in a really nice way, personal but professional too. I was wondering how you make money on UA-cam…I thought it was by how many views you get or if you got different amounts of money if someone watched your entire video vs only part of it. I did see that while I was watching a banking video did pop up so hopefully you got a little extra Ka-Ching! Off of it!
I love your Instagram, you are very funny. I got Airbnb and Waitrose ads during this video if that's of interest! Don't feel bad if you feel making money this way is easy compared to others, that is kudos to you for being savvy. We work to live as they say, not live to work.
Thank you for sharing your time with us, you life with us, and great content with us. Sending love to you and yours from Orlando Florida, Heather Spence McCoy
I always love watching your videos. Surprisingly, much of what you said here today, some of these topics you explained in pieces during your pandemic videos. It's sad some people get into who works harder than others. We all work hard at our jobs. I think some people are unhappy in their jobs and think others have it easy. It's great some of your videos rack in some good money.😊❤

Joel, you deserve every penny, I really appreciate your ability to engage and incorporate what's going on in your life making it fun to watch. Keep on keeping on, Lol. Thanks for the class, see you soon!
As soon as you said I don't know what ads come on my videos, an ad for airbnb and Reeses candy came on 😆. You like Reeses right? Anyway you're doing great! I enjoy watching your videos!
Very fascinating Joel. You answered questions that I had, questions that I didn’t know I had and questions that I would never dream of asking. Now YT views, numbers, analytics is starting to make sense to this old lady.
Thanks for sharing, Joel. Great video!
Also thank you for the outtakes, that was fun.
Oooo! There was a Capital One ad on this video! With Jennifer Garner, no less! And an investment company!
Great to have that level of honesty! I like the fact that you admit to all the pros and the cons and their balance so to speak! People want to know and not just those viewng your channel. Hope this goes viral for you my friend! At least others would finally know the truth about a internet influencer. There is greatness in you and don't forget!!!!! 🥰
Great video. People always want to know how Utubers make money. I just think filming all the time would be difficult. I don't care how much you make I just love videos and find them very entertaining and honest. Keep up the good work. 👍😊💕
This was really interesting, Joel. Thank you for taking the time to share! ❤
Hey Joel. I love your videos and am happy that you make money for all of the effort you put into it. What you earn is none of my business nor anybody else's. I liked how you explained how it works though. Love the leafy plant you have in the room. Best air filter. Glad you convinced Keegan, lol
I appreciate you sharing this with us. It’s very interesting. Also I like the content on your and Keegans channels. To me it’s like catching up with an old friend. I love what you guys do for the community.
Joel this is awesome as long as you happy.i just enjoy when you take us for Long puppy walks are a walk through the townships I truly fine those to be so enjoyable along with you an the family. Have agreat weekend hugs to all 🏳️🌈❤️🦋
Joel; I've watched you and Keegan for a long time now. Quietly. THIS video is so honest about personal UA-cam's. Thanks!
P.s. When I'm in England next time, I'd love to spot you all a pint 🍺
Thank you for this video. It was very interesting and insightful 🙌 p.s. I saw a MacBook add on this video so I hope your CPM will be high 🙂
Very interesting, ive always wanted to know the technical side of youtube and money! At 6:01 when you're talking about advertising a switch one came up and i launched 😂 I'm an American but that is funny and interesting!🇺🇲😁 😂 but your welcome Joel! But been watching for 9 years!
I wished I didn't have a boss!
Your job sounds hard 50/50 and fun!!
Joel, thanks for sharing this information. You cleared up a lot of things…. I love how you educate your audience. But, the ones I fancy are when you’re out and about in the countryside. You’re very good at drawing your people in. I swear one day I’ll be visiting the UK and of course checking out those bakery shops you talk about. Be well and blessings, always Alex from LA💙🙏🌴
Absolutely love your honesty and lack of pretentiousness - it's so refreshing compared with many other (mainly American) UA-camrs. I also found the whole UA-cam remuneration system fascinating so I imagine, if others feel the same, this video might turn out to be a big earner! 👍
You are amazing Joel. I really appreciate this video and better understanding how to support you. I am totally going to become a member now! You have inspired me since day one with just being real. I truly appreciate you and also Keegan. You guys always make me smile and knowing I am helping you in some small way is a good thing! One quesiton I had was how much do you charge Keegan to help him with his UA-cam editing? :-) Just kidding. Thanks so much for all the happiness you have brought to my life through Covid and beyond! BIG HUG!
Income tax I would imagine also eats into your figure. As far as ads, that is the reason I use UA-cam Premium AND when youtube channels go into "selling" I click away and go elsewhere. My UA-cam preferences are old movies and TV shows. Glad that the bulk of my income comes from unearned income (investments). We enjoy watching your channel. I think that if you do more videos of you and Keegan "away on a couple's weekend" at a nice destination, that would earn some money. More of "The day and live of Joel & Keegan", more of the same. I think that is what many come to see. Personally, I like "Joel in a new town and new relationship". Another favorite channel Cruise with Ben & David. They are constant cruisers and wonder if they spend more time at sea rather than land. What I like about them, two friendly people discussing their cruise by taking the viewer along for the ride. That I think is what keeps viewers coming back.
I love you and your vlogs!!! Hugs from Indianapolis, Indiana USA ❤
Joel, I love watching your videos but do you ever take a breath? You can chat away about anything! Anyway, you are one of my favorite UA-camrs. Keep up the good work! Best wishes from Florida.
As someone who is trying to grow a channel I feel like this has been so helpful! It’s hard to figure out how all this works on your own 🤯😂😅
Interesting video Joel, you covered a lot of questions I had. One thing you didn't cover though, is what is the importance of the number of 'likes' and 'comments' that is sought by UA-camrs? Also, 4000 hours seems an awful lot of content to create before you start earning? How long did that take you to achieve?
Thank you Joel for this video. You are so entertaining and I watch you all the time on You Tube and Instagram and I live in Florida So I’m happy you make more money from viewers in the states My husband tells me all the time, you should make You Tube videos And I say oh no it’s too much work. LOL
Very interesting...I've wondered how it all works. I've never understood why people judge how much money someone can earn at their job. As long as it's legal and not hurting anyone, why not be happy for everyone's success? I enjoy the videos I choose to watch on a regular basis so why shouldn't the creators make money for their entertainment content? I do find the ads irritating at times but not so much that I'm willing to pay a monthly fee so that's on me. It actually helps to know you are getting something from it. I wish you continued success!
Very interesting Joel, thank you so much for explaining this it make so much more sense to me now. Love your videos keep them coming.
Are you thinking of working for Channel 4 (based in Leeds) possibly in the future?
This was great, Joel. You dealt with all the issues in an honest, interesting way. Thanks for sharing. Glad you are honest about products that you believe in. That really makes a difference. I love your style, values and......well, I just like youj!!
concerning the toilet seat, maybe you had an idea about using it as a picture frame!!!!!
Joel, do those of us who have YT premium does your income change because we do not see those ads especially when they are the higher priced ad companies? Or do you even know that deep in the weeds?
I think all creators get a share of the YT Premium revenue. I have wondered too how it's divvied up.
Loved all the insight to Creator Joel and behind the scenes. Very informative. I appreciate all your hard work!❤
From construction to acting, farming to Youtubing, I have learned you will spend 40-60 hours a week making a living. Some people make more, some less, but even confidence men and gamblers have to work 40-60 hours a week. I find what people do for a living interesting, and was kinda surprised when I realised we all work about the same amount.
Oh and I could also listen to you talk all day. LOVE your accent and I also love to visit The UK ❤
Thanks Joel! I found this really interesting. Thanks for being so candid.
I love the video. It was really interesting. I always wondered how it all worked. Kudos to all you creators. I couldn't do it. I hate whenever people criticize creators, the critics obviously don't have the courage to do it.
Joel, thank you for explaining how it all works. It is very interesting. I would love to upload videos but I have no idea what I would talk about, lol. I think you work very hard, because I don't think I could do all you do. I have always loved you and your videos. I think you are such a kind person. 🌹🥰
This was a really interesting vlog, Joel, thanks for doing it. It definitely did help explain your income sources, but it also made me feel nervous for you, since things can be so unpredictable. Let’s hope this video gets lots of views! 😂 As for the brand deals - I give you so much credit for not just endorsing anything, it would be hard not to accept the income. But it’s just another reason why we love you and your videos, because you are authentic in all you do. 🥰 And you should never change, because as you said, you could lose viewers in the long run, and we wouldn’t want you to leave YT! ☹️ But I will say that we do need that toilet seat IG/TikTok post, I’m so curious what you were planning. 🤣 Enjoy Miami! 🌞
“No hun that means your a secret Republican”😂
This is so interesting! Thank you Joel!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was truly very interesting and worthwhile. I have admired you all this time for your creativity, as well as being a genuine nice, down to earth person. You have the right attitude of not putting too much pressure on yourself to do this job. If you did, you would not be as genuine nor even enjoy your work. That is the most important thing - to enjoy and love your work. I was fortunate in my career as a healthcare financial consultant. I loved the company, my clients, my co-workers and the value that I brought to my customers. Good for you and thank you!!! Regards!
Thank you for sharing all that. Much appreciated. :)
Thanks a lot for this video Joel! It's been really helpful for me to better understand how UA-cam works. I love your content. Keep up the good work!😊
Thanks Joelm 🙂 That's very intersting. Greetings from Italy
Thank you so much for this! I love the behind the scenes info. And while you owe no one any sort of explanation, I'm really grateful to have a much better understanding of how it works to be a content creator and even the financial aspect of it which I did not have a clue about. I've always been impressed that you can do as much as you do and now I just have even more respect for all of what you put into each and every little clip. I know it was a lot but now I really have a better idea.
That was cool. I learned some things. Thanks.
Thank you so very much for showing & telling us the truths about your channel. ♥️ I really appreciate it! Stay AWESOME🥰
lol it's always interesting because as viewers we have no idea what kind of money you guys make. Well, I simply don't have the personality to do youtube as a living, I'm too self-conscious lol. Appreciate that you do it and I enjoy a lot of your videos 🙂
Thanks for letting us in on the UA-cam world of finance. LOL As usual you made a complicated topic easy to understand. I wish you nothing but the best in both your private and professional futures.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Joel has the best voice on UA-cam.
Thank you!!!
I have a question, maybe for next time. You commented that Views are important but what is considered a view? If I just pop in on a video but decide I don’t like or am not interested in the content and quickly exit does that count as a view or do I have to stay for the entire video for it to count as a view? For example I might see a video that sounds like it might be interesting content but then I open it and the Utuber is just obnoxious but thinks they are being very clever and I will close it down without a LIKE. That leads to another question. How important are LIKES and what happens if you give it a thumbs down? By the way you are not one of those obnoxious ones I am talking about. Love your content and have been subscribed for long time. Thanks for your honesty.
Great video Joel, thanks for sharing!
This was an interesting video and you presented it in a really nice way, personal but professional too. I was wondering how you make money on UA-cam…I thought it was by how many views you get or if you got different amounts of money if someone watched your entire video vs only part of it. I did see that while I was watching a banking video did pop up so hopefully you got a little extra Ka-Ching! Off of it!
I love your Instagram, you are very funny. I got Airbnb and Waitrose ads during this video if that's of interest! Don't feel bad if you feel making money this way is easy compared to others, that is kudos to you for being savvy. We work to live as they say, not live to work.
Thank you for sharing your time with us, you life with us, and great content with us. Sending love to you and yours from Orlando Florida, Heather Spence McCoy
Thanks, Joel! Love ya!
good video Joel, the reason I follow you is your honesty and you are so natural in your videos.
Finally a clear explanation of how UA-cam works :)
I've always wondered how UA-cam monetization worked, so I appreciate the info. I enjoy all of your content.
...and as you said I can't choose which adds appear...an add appeared...and it's a Dove add. 😂😂
That was very interesting. I learned a lot and always wondered. Cheers!
It was interesting to learn all of this. Thank you for the video! You are so lovable!
Along with Alan Carr, we appreciate you as a ‘Chatty Man’. Also, it’s nice to meet Spreadsheet/Balance sheet Joel.
Great discussion - helps us understand how make a living in the digital world!
The outtakes Hahahhaha Iove you xxx
I always love watching your videos. Surprisingly, much of what you said here today, some of these topics you explained in pieces during your pandemic videos. It's sad some people get into who works harder than others. We all work hard at our jobs. I think some people are unhappy in their jobs and think others have it easy. It's great some of your videos rack in some good money.😊❤
