I really enjoy following your journey on UA-cam and your photography. The honesty about your achievements and challenges is something hard to find on other channels. In fact, I only know one more channel where the photographer is as genuine as you. Anyway, I hope you find time for UA-cam and photography... Happy New Year.
Aww that’s really cool to hear. Thank you so much for the comment. And yes, combining the two would be my absolute dream and goal for 2024. Ideally UA-cam as the more job type aspect so as to be able to have complete freedom with my photography. But until that point photography remains my job so I will also share aspects of photo business stuff on here to help anyone who also wants to do the same. At least that’s the plan. Happy New Year to you too! 🥳
Loved the video, will definitely take on your advice. As I attempt to gain entry to a School offering a photography degree your videos have been invaluable. Thank you and happy new year!
Hmm good question. I personally think it’s the opposite. Pursuing monetization can help you improve the quality of the output more. By asking ‘what is performing well and why?’ you automatically shift the focus to providing value and to the needs of your potential audience. What do channels with high subscribers and a lot of views have in common? I would say it’s the following: - great audio quality - great video quality - engaging editing style - engaging speaker - interesting topics - intriguing thumbnails - intriguing titles - entertainment To pursue monetization is to pursue those qualities in one’s videos.
@@katjafeldmeier wow great question, in all honesty what I think helped me out was picking a niche that I was/am passionate about and just simply love. Views and subscribers fluctuates but when you're passionate about what you love, the rest almost seems to not matter as much because at the end of the day, your happiness is worth so much more. That being said, consistency is hard but if you have a goal in mind, that helps. Good luck!
Are you also on your way to get monetized? Ask me your questions down below and I will do my best to help.
few hours to go to be in 2024
Great to see a new video online from you! Happy to hear you're planning more photo content for 2024!
Yay, thank you. Happy to be back at it. Yes, photo content and photo business related things planned
24 videos seems like a small amount to get monetized! Congrats!

Glad to hear it. Good luck with photo school applications and happy new year to you as well!
Congrats. So here is a question: do you think pursuing monetization can have a negative effect on the quality of a producer's output?

im struggling to get the 4000 hours watchtime... i hope i can made it.
You can do it! Good luck 🍀
Wow, only 24 videos to monetization that's amazing. Took me way longer with lots more videos to get there but I'm just glad I made it. Regard! +1
Thank you. That’s so sweet of you. Any advice on how you keep up consistency? This is my biggest hurdle at the moment…
