I too started watching your videos back in August/Sept 2022 when Farthest Frontier was just taking off and some of your tips, especially about money making (back in those older versions) really helped me make sense of the game. I haven't played the game for more than an year now, but I'm glad to see your channel is doing really well! Agree that YT is a lot of luck of the algorithm but you can make the luck swing in your favour by doing proper SEO optimization with like, keywords and shit. If you're serious about growing your channel in the next few years, I strongly recommend you invest some of your earnings so far into hiring an SEO specialist to improve your channel's discoverability. You might think that you can do it on your own, and you probably can, but it will take a lot of time and experience to figure out the little nuances in YT algo. I think you'd be better off outsourcing the SEO stuff to a pro and just focus on creating your content. You could probably find people on Upwork or Fiverr. Best of luck!
Definitely an early watcher. Your FF series brought me in because i needed some help figuring out what is best between the art and the science. I may never do a super planned city, and i am so grateful that you do. Backed by research too!
New viewer here. I started watching your Manor Lords guides. I found myself re-watching/re-listening to your guides to pick up with all the minor points and details. Appreciate when Mary exactly what you’re doing so I have to actually watch it. Thank you for the edumacation and entertainment while I wash dishes or drive, etc.
And also yes, to long form! Also shorter videos to cover a few mechanics at the time or topics won’t be bad either even if it’s repeating points that you cover in your long form
Congrats! Glad I found you randomly mentioned on a Farthest Frontier forum, you've introduced me to some new games to get like Song of Styx and Surviving Mars. Keep having fun doing it, I've learned plenty without implementing it exactly and it's great info.
Here's to hoping you gain a lot more traction my dude. Glad I ran across ya Also remember, any money you reinvest into your gaming setup can be deducted from your taxes. I would honestly pay someone to help you do it for the first couple of years until you can get the process down and understand what they are doing.
been watching since your second video - you do very good and are very in-depth in your videos. Been recommending you and your channel for most of the games I also play to so many other people.
Small Content creator here as well and I gotta say you definitely are doing much better than I. 3 Almost 4 years here and I can say the effort to test/edit/ stream for viewers takes much more time than a hobby. Basically its another full time job for a fraction of what minimum wage is. I have similar watch time as you, but my revenue is a fraction of what you have. Glad to see your success :)
I spend an ungodly amount of time on my channel lol - probably 30-40 hours a week on top of my 30-40 hour job. I'm trying to dial it back and make it more balanced around 20 hours a week, it also gets harder to maintain. But it's an investment, one day i think i will be able to put in less time and make good income.
See you @ 50k.. Re FF I've watched from the beginning, But i would bet that like me As a guide There are quiet a few of us older folk and may be younger ones that still can not get that dann terra forming quiet right and do not want to use mods etc to achieve it so may be a short guide playthrough on terra forming would go down well. Just a thought. See you at the top..
If you ever played "Banished", it is very similar. The latest update added in raids and military aspects. Not only do you have to master the resource management, you also need to balance military staff and resources when labor and resources are already in short supply. Actually, resources are plentiful its the labor it takes to get them. Then of course adding more people to increase labor pool adds more food, more housing, more area to protect....it can be a real challenge.
Nice too see you post vids like this ,i subbed the other day as i enjoy your manor lord vids and your insights are great,i learned a few tricks with your tips,your easy to listen too,you dont sound like you wanna be a DJ which puts me off streamers straight away you as just talk honest bro,keep up the good work,im hoping to have my rig built in a month or so as im looking forward to playing Space Marine 2,take it easy.

Onwards and upwards sir, can only get better from here. Best of luck AND skill at following your working recipe for the future.

I found you with manor lord and i'm glad i hopped in the train :) I also appreciate transparency !

@@TacticatGaming Same here. Its tough to balance life with 2 full time jobs. I'd like to get to that point you mentioned
lol I am glad the algorithm showed me your videos XD which was probably almost 2 years ago hahaha
Count me in the longer video camp! Here’s to many more years!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Always good to see interesting stuff
Luck and skill, keep it up.🎉🎉🎉
Happy for you, keep it up!

Taci for president 😊
I like when you do this.
You have an entertaining presentation style. That's a big part of why I watch your content. =^[.]^=
It'd be great if you could cover Settlement Survivor. Not much for tutorials out there for latest updates.
Is it a good game?
