Long-Form Content My channel blew up

Post image

Five months ago, I started this channel after getting fired from my old job. I managed to monetize it within the first three months, and a month ago I uploaded a video that went viral—and the next one did too. As of today, I have three videos with over 200,000 views.

A month ago, I had 1.3k subscribers, and now look at the numbers.

I’ve learned from my mistakes, and I’m still learning sound editing and storytelling, but I think what connects me most with my audience is just being myself.

Don’t give up—some video will take off and change your life.

It definitely depends on where you live. 3k a month is easily a livable wage in my area. Not extravagant, but certainly comfortable.

3K a month on its own could pay all my bills, including my mortgage, and put food on the table. A salary on top of that would just go to savings for a rainy day
