I miss your fun goofy videos. One of my favourites has to be where you demonstrated how to jump into your trousers quickly. And the blogs where you took us into your daily life. Budget shopping and cooking and so on. I liked them because of your very unique way of thinking! Quirky, smart and very you!
I used to watch your videos waaaay back in the day. Seeing your channel today, it does seem unfortunate that every video is a sponsored one. It's up to you. Everyone has the right to do what they will with their channel.
I don't mind the videos on reviewing products and getting paid to do so as long as you are honest in your review on the pros and cons of the product. To me, truly selling out is some of these other UA-camrs trying to grift their viewer to buy their course or someone else's sponsored product. Your credibility is your #1 asset.
Really appreciate this video, to be blunt which I hope is helpful I used to watch the channel a lot and it totally feels like a series of commercials lately. The proportion is so heavily biased toward both full videos ads, and cutaways where it feels like the content was just winged with the real purpose being a shout out to a sponsor, it affects credibility and makes you feel less genuine. Like this isn't a community your building around you with some monetizing sprinkled in, but the only interest is to farm affiliate links or something. It's your channel so it's yours to use as you like, but that's where at least my mind is and I miss the genuine content enough to type all this stuff. This video makes me happy.
Sponsored videos = no problem. I got some of my best purchases from sponsored posts / reviews. I won't buy something I don't need but for example it was YOU who alerted me to the possibility of getting a really low cost phone service. I now pay $15-ish a month for a more than adequate data allowance that I don't even need. Or someone else (on another YT channel) picked up a specific item in the exact week that I was looking for something just like that. Or living in California we are always concerned about power outages, so reviews of batteries and / or solar options definitely are something that one day I might come back here and binge watch. .. a few years ago I needed a folding bicycle. If you had had a sponsored product video reviewing a folding bicycle then it would have been super useful. So you do whatever works for you, it is impossible to make everyone happy all the time.
A real example of me finding a sponsored video useful and actually bought from the sponsor is Ali Abdaal's video. He incorporated it so well its useful for audiences like us. That's inspiring for me in terms of learning how Ali incorporated the sponsorship into his videos.
Really glad you addressed the FIRE issue. I always thought it was odd that you say you are retired but then you're spending all this time making videos. That's not retired. When I did FIRE I did it for real. I stopped working. That said, I really do enjoy your videos, even the product reviews. I think it would be better if you really bought, liked, used the product but that's not realistic all the time. As long as you are being honest and not trying to just sell me something. I love your DIY videos too! I hope you continue to make relevant content as you are one of my favorite UA-camrs.
Yes I like the idea of using the electric bike and you showing us the location... More interesting that you reviewing the bike in your garage... To see it use is much more interesting.. Always thoughtful content Francis!
I like the idea of a tour or something that you would buy full price and an announcement that this is sponsored, but you really want to support the product. TY
I wished UA-cam would force creators to tag the promo part of the videos so it would be automatically trimmed out for Premium subscribers just like regular adds. I find really thoughtful when some creators put a timer or a progress bar during the promo part of the video, makes a little easier to fast forward. The meme "When your advertising interrupts my video...It just makes me hate your product" is for real IMHO".
Do you recall what subscriber count you were when you had your first sponsor? How much did they pay you? And what helped you get that first sponsor - were you plugging it as an ask in the videos?
I watch your videos for your financial and engineering views. If you can make a review with these as the basis for your reviews. I don’t mind sponsored videos too. That would be a unique angle too. Talk about the engineering side of the product and then the financial part both for the company and the end user ❤️😊
I think product review videos are fine as long as the product isn't something that's clearly harmful and the information you are providing is truthful. I actually enjoyed your vacuum robot video. It was detailed and funny.
Just curious, when you create other channels, do you create it under the same main channel email address? Like a brand channel? or do you use a separate gmail address?
Hey Francis, I really wished you held on to all your TSLA stock a while back. We bought at around the same time. I went all in TSLA when it was $15 split adjusted and now the investment is multi-million in value. I am now selling covered calls on them to generate around $300-600k in passive income each year. I could have sold them at the peak at $400, but I would have to pay huge taxes. Now with passive incomes generated from covered calls, I get recurring incomes without having to sell my shares. I will keep collecting premiums while I wait for my strike price to hit.
can you do more crypto, stock and finance videos? I like how you share the information and you're not insane and all hype like so many crypto people are. i like the buy/sell guidance. thanks!
The people who made their money in the stock market or influencing the last 10 years will be hard to replicate in the future. Those were historical gains.
I think every youtuber should make this kind of video. I think with the landscape of the internet it's totally normal to do sponsored videos. If you're taking sponsors what your viewers don't care about then they're just going to skip over it and continue with the video. I think many people now have the expectation that the youtube they're watching is going to have some kind of ad in their videos at some point. So in that sense I don't think you sold out. If you did the crypto stuff or partnered with a company that has a shady past like betterhelp, then personally I would be disappointed and/or unsub. So as long as they're non-intrusive and short for ads you don't have a real passion for it's fine. If you have a genuine interest I'd like to see longer videos like some of the battery reviews. I don't know if I agree with the consensus that I/we don't want any sponsored videos. Mainly cause I understand it take time /money to make videos so in a sense I would expect there to be some kind of sponsor in the videos. However, it's exactly like you said it should be something you actually support, maybe you're a fan of, something you're passionate about etc.. that makes the sponsorship a little more tolerable.
I think sponsored videos are okay from non-sales-minded creators such as yourself. I watch you because of similar mindset around frugalness, and I appreciate your experimental side. I see sponsored videos as a way of supporting you, which I am in favor of.
Hi there! I don’t mind sponsored videos, unless it is a video solely about the product and pushing this product to buy it, however, I do feel that if a product will be used for a video idea that you have or have had before, and this product will enable this idea to materialize, that would be awesome.
I watch Dr. Dray dermatologist and she the only one I trust when it comes to prime day. If she says I need something I buy it 😂. Because she back up her claims with first hand knowledge and just mention products she done videos on. Also she made an Amazon list with about 5 items. That’s it. To be honest I kinda trust you. I even follow you on Amazon. As long as you use the item; back up your claims with details are the only things I care about. I follow other creators and even though I see what they are pushing I fast forward and only see if they find something on sale that I already want to buy. Other than that I don’t buy it. And there’s some creators that every month the come out with my best Amazon finds. 😅 ever month is too much on top of her every video being sponsored. I use to the videos being sponsored but I trust more those that hardly have sponsors and then let me know what they find on occasion.
Please do "Day of a Starbucks/Peets coffe Barista" or " Day as a Uber/Lyft/Instacart driver " I think you might want to challenge yourself. BTW i first came accross your Channel on " Day as a Amazon warehouse employee " Alternatively consider making a non-video podcast with your FIRE friends if they are comfortable. Best wishes💐
This has got to be the first video in a long time show up in my subscriber feed. I thought you just dropped off of UA-cam. I have no problems with sponsorships. I think the problem I have as a viewer is that most UA-camrs or social media content creators don't intergrate product properly or it becomes obvious the company has brought you out for your audience. I don't care about or need a generator or Ebike but if it's integrated properly it doesn't matter. For example, using something that ties into frugal living, sightseeing or activity. It's not weird to see an Ebike sponsorship as you are strolling to see all the bank, restaurant or business closings in an area.It's not weird to see meal service sponsorship if you are showing meal prep for week, frugal recipes or talk about cost effectiveness when food inflation is here. I watched a frugal Virginia homesteading channel who perfectly intergrated a generator and tool sponsorship by showing how they prepped before leaving and fixing property after hurricane. Sponsorships have to make sense with video topic and integration or you lose subscribers as it does come across as "selling out"
I agree with the Adobe guy. I will watch your e-bike video but my feedback may not matter on that one because I don't like to watch sightseeing videos.
I don't get it. You state that you have enough money, yet you mention that you are interested in getting money from sponsors. Why not stay impartial and buy the things with your own money and review on your own schedule?
There's nothing wrong with honest sponsored videos. I just watch the videos I like and skip the others. I liked the vacuum and the lawn mower videos but I skipped the power station videos. I don't see a problem unless you tell us to buy a shitcoin to get rich quick or something crazy like that.
If you had a separate pay to view channel with 100% promo free content, no one complaining would actually pay to watch. 😂. Cut back some and enjoy yourself!
I have no respect and will never return to a "financial" channel that sells out. One recent case I'm made aware of is "Ticker Symbol: You". He was an awful investor before, and now he sold out to some penny stock from Canada.
did you sell out or buy in? lol, your best videos were in the early youtube days where it was more of a website for information sharing and learning instead of the weird TV like entertainment we have found ourselves in now. ya your reviews are really great tbh. i watched all your videos on this channel but never even knew about your diy channel until i looked up how to fix my boxster lol. i think its okay to plug your own diy channel at the end of every video and double dip on this channel, coz youre only going to get the most interested watchers who will clikc on a link or type something into the search bar. ya idk youtube is weird right now and tbh it kind of sucks, internet feels more dead every day. whats crazy is how much you engage with your viewer comments despite your upload cadence and sub count. idk, i remember what you said about the dumb gimbel video, how it was transformative for you back then because you were just uploading a low effort video of something you wanted to do for fun for once, and didnt care how it did. i think some of your older and newer videos on the solar stuff has been like that where you were really interested/invested in the project for once and it showed. i think about ghram steffans early videos about doing realestate and how invested he was in getting a good deal and teaching tips coz he was so young, like one video he just showed himself buying outlets and taking them to one of his houses for the contractor to install so he wouldnt get charged extra for them lol. hard to think of him doing a video like that now. or his super early videos about his car that he spent all his money on... i think it used to be in his set coz he was so proud of it. i feel like if you play the youtube game too much you end up like phillipdefranco, i think at one time he was close to the top of the youtube watch count, back when it was like shayne dawson and not many other people, and he was just being himself, and i guess his videos get views still but i just cant stand watching him anymore lol. or like vsauce which i think just got so big that they fizzeled out. an interesting youtuber to watch is scottmanly because he went from uploading gaming videos of eveonline to being some authority on space news/development just because he was so interested and invested. sorry i dont have the answer, feel like i am answering a question with a question. i wonder if its possible to talk about i think you said you were doing some secret capacitive touch screen stuff once at a company before you left and the lessons you learned but couldnt talk about it at the time because of an NDA. i know you hate talking about anything ee related lol but you have an ee work room for a reason, its a big part of you. hope you have been well. im not the one to criticise my dumb youtube channel has like 50 views total lol
I don't understand how you're still so stressed. With your investments shouldn't you have been seeing your net worth grow or remain the same? I think you need to do a calculation on time left to live versus net worth and you will notice you are much shorter on time than the money. Perhaps try to change your view on having to listen to those who want to dangle money in your face differently as they don't realize that the time left hugging trees greatly exceeds the time left doing the nonsense they want you under.
BeatTheBush, just put a disclosure and tell us its a sponsored product and keep doing sponsors. I only have issues is you lie about using it or tell us its really good but it isn't or if its FTX.. 😊
I'm not watching this crap make something about me saving dollars and getting out of poverty and give me a click bait title so I don't regret every time I told someone about your channel

Graham Stephan used to push anything for a few grand.
didn't he shill a youtuber bank thing
One of the worse in term of ethic.
And this is why i unsubscribe to these channels. This channel was good and I was learning a lot.
Graham Stephan randomly starting tell people to vote Republican because of tax policy and that was the last straw lol
I don’t think he intentionally pushed bad sponsors he just thought the cash was worth it and the sponsors were frauds
"Sometimes they need this money to live on." YIKES! Honestly can't believe you said that with a straight face.

Sponsorblock chrome extension.
@@dave597 it works but unfortunately I pretty much watch UA-cam from my Appletv.
@@MrIF-f9wah, on TV I use fire stick and smarttube which comes with sponsorblock
The new skip feature is somewhat effective, it allows you to skip the sections other users often do (usually the ad read)
seriously sponsorblock is life changing. Its community driven but generally pretty good especially for videos with lots of views.
Personally, I watch for the T-Rex and Friends subplots.
Do you recall what subscriber count you were when you had your first sponsor? How much did they pay you? And what helped you get that first sponsor - were you plugging it as an ask in the videos?
Just be your self ! I like when you talk about finances
I watch your videos for your financial and engineering views. If you can make a review with these as the basis for your reviews. I don’t mind sponsored videos too. That would be a unique angle too.

I personally usually don't watch those videos. Of course, there should be some kind of balance. Just follow your heart.
I think product review videos are fine as long as the product isn't something that's clearly harmful and the information you are providing is truthful. I actually enjoyed your vacuum robot video. It was detailed and funny.
Do what you feel is right. I don't have issues with what you post
If it makes you feel better you can add an indication the video is sponsored and/or maybe have a dedicated channel to unboxing etc.
Just curious, when you create other channels, do you create it under the same main channel email address? Like a brand channel? or do you use a separate gmail address?
I really want to see you get married and have a few kids. I think you would give amazing parenting advice.

Hard word results in achievements that lasts much longer than hedonistic pursuits.

When you see videos on the same day of the week for at least two months, is probably when I will start it.
@@BeatTheBush ok I will ask @cornellouis to keep tabs 😂
To be 100% honest here , I HATED all these sponsored videos and I never watched any of them, to me those are just advertisement.
Do what it takes to keep making videos like this.

Good video and concept on your part.
Depends on what you review. Electric bike I am interested.
Travel videos will be interesting. Adding some money savings tips on the trip
will be good. Some investing videos are good too.

You can imagine, using a product this way is very difficult but yes, I get that.
I'm ok if it's a product I'm interested in, and you can give your true feedback, and it is not manipulated.
It is hard to balance, you have a right to make money, but you cant oversell.

I thought selling out was part of the "how-to" of beating the bush
Hard to be too negative on a product when they’re paying you.
I don't get it. You state that you have enough money, yet you mention that you are interested in getting money from sponsors. Why not stay impartial and buy the things with your own money and review on your own schedule?
Old subscriber from the financial videos.
Beathebush are you going try the new McDonald’s chicken Big Mac sandwich as food review
Do you follow Dave Ramseys financial plan?
Ramsey is for broke people, if you're disciplined and have a brain; you do not need Dave.
I'm not too clear on what that exactly is. But I do enjoy being debt free.
Everybody needs to eat and pay their bills. So I understand if you need to do some advertising for your sponsorship.
Good videon
tag / chapter the sponsor section
Yes, the product has to be interesting, unique, or useful and your review needs to be honest with both pros and cons and not just one sided.
There's nothing wrong with honest sponsored videos. I just watch the videos I like and skip the others. I liked the vacuum and the lawn mower videos but I skipped the power station videos. I don't see a problem unless you tell us to buy a shitcoin to get rich quick or something crazy like that.

I'd never watch a sponsored review
Do it like linus where its obvious its a plug and you dgaf about it
none. you're not retired, you became a paid shill instead, your entire early retirement schtick is disingenuous
I have no respect and will never return to a "financial" channel that sells out. One recent case I'm made aware of is "Ticker Symbol: You". He was an awful investor before, and now he sold out to some penny stock from Canada.
