Generous of you to show us the ropes most RUclipsrs don’t share this information I found it very informative now I’m gonna watch all your ads I love that you always keep it real
With the amount of skill and business sense you have, some people would think it's a waste of your talents. I guess you could work for a company and use those skills to their advantage or you could enjoy your life and be self-sufficient and do what you want. I'm an older guy and I appreciate someone who is taking a shot at life the way you are. Best of luck and I hope you continue to grow and stay humble and appreciative of things you have attained. 🔥👍❤️
I just though I would mention, I’m a RUclips premium member so I don’t see ads. But part of my monthly membership fee is shared with content creators. Just wanted to mention it for people who don’t like watching ads. 🙂
That was part of the reason I didn’t subscribe to the RUclips channel I faithfully watch all of my advertisements for my favorite people so they all get paid
I never realized that ads were important for You tubers! I also am paying for premium to skip ads. Do I need to review my account to confirm part of my monthly fee is shared with these content creators? Or is it automatic? I feel bad because I watch Chantelle all of the time but this is the first video where Anyone has shared this info!
@@tracyd7432 This is a quote from RUclips, “If you're a RUclips Premium member, you won't see ads, so we share your monthly membership fee with creators. Best of all, the more videos you watch from your favorite creators, the more money they make. “
Shall i say this is one of my favorite video.... Of course I had other favorite videos from your channel. However, this particular topic helps me understanding more what I'm doing. I'm a small youtuber and I don't stressed myself to make quick money for this. I can wait anyway, i still have my regular job to lean on as my main source of income. 😊😊
Hi Chantel, you must have read my thoughts. I love your vlogs and while I was watching the last one I was thinking...."it's great that she gets to travel around and see all these beautiful places, I wonder what she lives on". Now I know. Thanks for taking us along on your journeys. Wishing you continued happiness 😊
Thank you, Chantal (geez, I just realized I don't know how you spell your beautiful name). I almost didn't watch, at least right now, as I had given up on doing YT or other income-producing work. I'm on Social Security and spent 9 years being an entrepreneur after retirement, only to be punished by owing IRS big bucks. I just finished the payment plan for my 2017 taxes! I was going to be ft vanlife beginning Apr 1 out of financial necessity. But an angel has helped me to stay in my rented senior living duplex to end of year. Since i wasn't going to be living in my van (already built out), I was no longer interested in having YT channel. See my tunnel vision? You have inspired me to rethink EVERYTHING about my current life. I'm excited again about positive change. The detail you explained was so instructive. Glad to hear from someone at your level rather than those who make $100k and up. Not that I'm going to rush into YT channel, but considering your suggestions for passive income stacking has me thinking and considering all my options. We all learn from our own mistakes, sometimes from seeing others' mistakes, or by learning from sources we trust and respect. There is about 50 years difference in our ages, but you are teaching an old dog new tricks! 💗 to you sweet lady!
This is actually reallly good to know... I often skip around in videos and didn't realize "watch minutes" matter, so I plan on changing that behavior for people I want to directly support. I don't know why people are so secretive about the idea of YT earning them money... I certainly would NOT want to spend the time to edit and produce these videos, market myself, and do "the hussle." I leave that to you guys. :D
This was SUPER INTERESTING! Very encouraging for us newer RUclipsrs. I started my vanlife channel at the end of October 2020, and I have a ways to go to get monetized. The payments can help fund your travels for sure. Thanks so much for this! 😀
This was a GREAT video, Chantelle! I really don't NEED to earn extra money but thinking about options to add to my 'emergency' fund for camper/truck repairs, etc. It just seemed so confusing even thinking about it at first but you made it seem more doable. I always look forward to your videos mostly because you (and sweet Joey) just make me smile! Love ya, Chantelle and thanks so much.
I enjoy your channel. You are such a kind hearted person..I always watch your ads all the way through. I wish you much luck! Do you suggest being a camp host, how was your experience?
Great way of looking after people and their posible triggers whilst sharing: brilliant you gave the time in details to miss section. Brilliant work. Thanks for sharing
This is one of the best RUclips video educational videos I’ve watched. You’re actually a very good teacher but more I like how u try to put yourself into the students viewpoint; trust me it helps😳Keep up the great work and thank 4 a wonderful post
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I found your channel awhile ago when I was searching for something totally unrelated, and I went back and watched all your videos. I have seen you grow and to see that you are real, authentic and not a phoney like most "digital nomads" of YT and that is SOOOOO refreshing! It has been so inspiring to see this bc at the end of the day it makes me feel like, if you can do it, so can I. Thank you a million times for being so relatable and inspiring everyday folks like myself!
So helpful. I was going to reach out to you and then here was your videos about making money. I’m having a suburban conversion made. I get on the waiting list next week and then it takes at least 18 months till it’s completed. During that 18 months I want to start a RUclips channel and perfect my channel. So I will be mirroring exactly how you did it. I’m so excited. Any information you can share is very helpful!
Great video. Thank you for outlining the basics of you tube monetizing. It's an important topic for people that use and like you tube and want to start supplementing their income from a regular job and put it towards a goal - like part time funding of van life. I watch your videos and am inspired to take mini trips to great outdoors on time off from my job and my sticks and bricks home and bring new dog. You give coordinates and great visual and verbal descriptions of places you go too and show how dog friendly they are. Keep it up and have a blast and thank you for sharing so much. As a full time nurse getting out and about in nature every other month has greatly improved my life. Thanks for the inspirations.
Hi Chantelle This was a very informational video. I will make sure to watch ads for you instead of skipping them. Love all your vlogs. Hope you and Joey are doing well!
Chantelle, it’s so sweet of you to share this info. I have a lot more knowledge than I actually put to use on my channel, because I’m overwhelmed with retiring, getting Medicare, trying to get out of my house so I can sell it, and hit the road once again. And I really lack on video editing skills and no time to learn right now. I’ve been following many who teach this info. I’ve noticed in the van life community that no one shares information like you’re doing, and very, very few collaborate. I’ve been planning to share helpful information for a long time now, but I don’t know how to upload a certain things into my videos on my phone. So, I never do it. I’ve always wondered what to expect for the CPM in van life. I do all I can to help my fellow van lifers. I watched tons of their videos, even when I really don’t have time. And it’s rare that I do not hit the like button. And I often comment to create engagement. I’m really happy for you and how well you’re doing. I remember when you only had a few thousand subscribers. I hope to meet you on the road in the future.Oh, I follow Catherine and Sean, Benji, Roberto, Nick, Dee, Daniel, Brian,Derral, and many more. PS when you show the screen and don’t say what’s on it, I don’t know what it says, when you left off the two months of information. As you probably know by analytics that the majority of people on RUclips use the phone and we can’t see tiny stuff. Hey one thing you didn’t mention which of these do you use? VidIQ, morning fame, or tube buddy?
I so appreciate your openness and candor. Sharing screenshots of your actual numbers was amazing and brave. I think other videos showing more about how you set up and support your Etsy shop and other income stacking details would be great once in a while. Plus the nuts and bolts about how you set up and manage your business on the road, such as biz type, how you handle mail, taxes (so people can avoid the issues Michelle mentioned in her comment 🙄), etc would be so helpful (and watched!!). I think those biz basics details are often overlooked in the digital nomad space.
Thank you for sharing this with us! I love that you showed us the beginning and provided the info on the ppl you watched to get you there! Thank you! Blessed be!
Love this video!!! My husband and I want to start van life in a few years, and have been wondering about how much/how you can make with you tube. I have thought about starting a channel and also have been looking into affiliate links to start an online store, i keep saying "what i'm i doing, i don't even know where to get things to sell" your info has made me realize maybe i can do the store. i've had a webpage for years that i was going to start a blog. i think i also need a motivation class lo LOL I love your videos Thank You
You can simply review things you just use yourself, like next item for your van, make a video about it & show how it works, how you like it etc, those are helpful for ppl to watch as well , Good luck 👍
This was awesome Chantelle. Again, keeping it so real and relevant for us. Why you're one of my favorites. I'm so glad you're able to support your yourself this way!! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing the in and out of the money side of RUclips. It is very much an interest to me. I'm looking to do some type of vanlife adventure channel with certain focus topics with hopefully a viewer draw. As far as your channel, I love it.. All the best...
You are the sweetest young woman, I enjoy watching all your videos. Can't wait till your next posted video, heck I say that when every video you make ends. Thanks for sharing a small portion of your life, your adventures. Take care and stay safe out there.
Thank you so Much for the lowdown on youtube, I am starting a channel... so this is Great information.... Keep going girl, you deserve to manifest all of your dreams.... Much love to you and Joey.
Thank you so much for explaining all that goes on behind the scene in being a RUclips creator. You are able to live the lifestyle you want and help others create that for themselves. I would have a difficult time coming up with new content to keep subscribers interested not to mention the swings in income month to month. Really enjoy watching you and Joey living an adventurous life though as do many other subscribers. Take care and be safe.
This is great art! You give a lot of yourself and this is as good as your in the road videos,And it is beautiful, helpful, and can answer a great many questions people have!! Very interesting and generous.Thanks so much.
Thank you Chantelle, this was a very educational video. I greatly appreciate you sharing you personal analytics from RUclips. All the best to you on your Van life journey.
Thank you for the super informative video. The only comment I have is about the affiliate deals like Jackery’s. They approached you and gave you an expensive item in exchange for a video. It’s hard to trust any video that a creator’s given about it because who would do a negative review if someone gave you a $1,000 item for free.
Thank you so much for sharing this information, very helpful! It's important, I feel, to encourage your subscribers to watch the ads. I don't know how to approach this exactly, except to explain it with videos like this. Wishing you a bright and beautiful day!
99% of the time I watch the ads until the end. And I try to remember to click on the actual ad. I know all of that helps. Love your positivity. Keep up the great content.
Great job! Very transparent! I'm going to save this one for all the links you have! I'm still debating the van life verses a little piece of land in AZ with a tiny home. That's a tough one. Time will tell, keep doing what you're doing as long as you're enjoying. Thank you again.
Love all your videos and this video was very informative! I always look forward to seeing the next one. Love seeing Joey...he is adorable!! Keep on doing what your doing...Go Girl!! ❤
I love your channel. I love how honest you are. I love how authentic you are in everything that you do. I learned so much from watching this video. I appreciate how much you pour into making great videos for us all to enjoy. It’s great that your hard work helps sustain you and keep this great channel going. It was so good to find you during the darkest days of the pandemic. You’ve definitely helped give me something to look forward to every week. Thank you so much.
Very stellar of you to pass on such good information. Almost no one whose making money on RUclips tells how it works. You have graciously cut thru the fog. Thanks!
Loved this!!! Thank you for your willingness to explain!! It would be interesting know how to start the whole monetization function. I will check out that channel you mentioned.👍 Thank you 🍓🫐🍊🍋
I've subscribed to channels that speak only to channel growth, but I consistently scroll past their notifications. It's kind of like not reading the package directions before attempting to put together a complicated, multilevel system of shelving. Most directions are not at all user-friendly. Switching my brain energy from the completed image pictured on the package and in my mind, to the one-dimensional constructs on paper, is HARD. But my experience is such that not taking the time to perform this step has often made the process of building any given object or subject way longer than it would otherwise have been. SO GLAD THAT I DIDN'T scroll past this instructional video. I thought about it but didn't. I gave some thought as to why I didn't. Here is what I came up with: I'm comfortable with your face, your voice, your form of communication - and this subject is part of your journey, and your "Basic Journey" interests me. You are not "one-dimensional". It makes "reading the directions" way easier. Now, I will take a look at those other channels. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
So well stated, her content has such a genuine feel to it. When I see creators always cheerful and smiling, and their rig is always neat as a pin...nope. I want REAL! Just like this video.
I’ve been in my van for over two years, but just started my RUclips channel..about 10 videos now. I have always enjoyed yours and found this one super helpful. Thanks girl!
I’ve recently started making videos on RUclips, and I’ve been pumping out as many as I can, and as regularly as possible, since that’s the same advice I’ve heard over and over. I know it’ll take a while to get to the point of making any money at all, but there’s no time like the present, right? This video you made was super helpful with some excellent information, so thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to make a video like this!
This is great info Chantel! 🤩🤩🤩 Thank you...I’m totally interested in this. My YT channel is teeny tiny 🤗🤗 but I am optimistic that I’ll grow it bigger one day. I know you are right that I need to produce more videos on a more consistent basis. That is my goal! Anyway, thank you so much for this real practical look at how it could go. 😁😁
This video is still 100% relevant today. Saying that you got your channel started before you even had the van was kind of an a-ha moment for me. I'm going to do exactly that. My van won't be delivered until September at the earliest and then I can start building it out...and my mindset was to just wait to start creating videos until then. Thanks for pointing out something super obvious that I would have totally missed!
Thank you for this!!! I just started watching RUclips videos a year ago and didn’t even know THAT ONE COULD MAKE MONEY with videos! I thought people just wanted to share info or wanted attention. I’m always wondering how the whole thing works!
Excellent video and informative, I want to, need to, be a Nomad 🤣 My family is holding me back, with all these questions, not their business, I am the mom ! I can't build out a van, have a few opportunities, working on this!!! Discouraged today, helped Chantel, thanks, I don't alway's comment, but watch! I can do this! Much love from Texas
Hi Chantell and Joey i love how you really explain everything so awesome i am interested just started making videos lol there crazy lil but the more i do better i will get i hope. Thank you for sharing i am listening. Take care be safe God Bless you and Joey and your family and Followers. Happy Traveling. Gloria Thee Traveling Nomad in Waiting.
The info you shared helps alot. I hesitate to do anything when I have no clue about how to do it. I still need to research how to start making videos and posting them. I am also stumped on a name. I will look up Think Media and see if it helps. Thanks so much! Happy Sunday! ❤
Hi Chantel, your videos always make me wish I was there!! I always push the like button and watch the ads because I know it helps you out! Give Joey a hug for me, he is so precious! ✌️👍❤️🌈💝
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, opinions and experiences. Whether you know it or not this is yet by far the BEST video in this sector that I've seen. You were very detailed in your experiences and sharing your analytical charts, revenue and other streams of income. I think I can speak for many this is very helpful and inspiring for me. Thanks again and I will be utilizing many of your ideas. Much success to you and your co-ancor 🧍🏼♀️🐶🚙🛤🌞
Ty so much for this video. It's definitely going into my "fav van life" saved videos file! I will probably never have a yt channel but I have been thinking about how to have several sources of income. I will probably have disability $ but def plan on having additional income. Thanks for your very easy to understand tutorial!
Thank you for sharing so openly. I know it's scary to share yourself on the internet and you have been so open within all your video. Just wanted to let you know you are appreciated!
I am so glad you are able to support yourself this way. It honestly makes me happy knowing you are getting to have this amazing experience and life. I love you and Joey. ❤
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this. How many hours do you spend a day or week on average filming and editing? Also, what kind of equipment do you have to make the beautiful videos you make?
Wow that was some beautiful jewelry you made. I hope your etsy site is doing well. Also I hope you are saving as much money as possible for emergencies like van repairs ,because I've seen many RUclipsr's that run into issues and if not for their fans donating they would be screwed and I feel bad for them because I'm sure that is beyond stressful and embarrassing and that's when trolls start popping up around every corner to make sure they can make them feel worse .
Thank you for sharing. I’ve wondered if starting an RUclips channel prior to actually hitting the road. It’s looking like I may be a part-timer for a bit. My bucket list is getting very long. Yet I’d like to get started as I have a huge learning curve to go through about editing. You all make it look so easy. Blessings for your willingness to share your knowledge. Namaste 🙏🏼 my friend.
Very informative & well done.👍 I've heard for a long time that the YT vloggers income info is available if one is curious & wanted to find out... I'm NOT curious about other people's money. But I applaud you for your transparency & well produced explanation of how it all breaks down. I've subscribed & UNsubscribed to numerous vloggers in the last year due to what comes across as either begging, manipulation or some level of usury. Then once they get the subscriber count & monetization they become rude, haughty, dismissive & invisible to the same viewers that got them where they are. They go from almost desperately begging people to "...like, subscribe, comment & press the thumbs up...". Then it goes to donste through CashApp, Patreon & buying merch or "joining memberships" in order to further increase their revenue. As I said, I only watch (& definitely not) or follow 2-3 nowadays; but of the MANY that I have watched, you are the only one that I've heard to donate a portion of your proceeds to a worthy cause & not just their own personal gain. I'm not saying others don't... I'm just saying I haven't seen anybody else do it. Kudo's to you young lady & should I contribute to ANYONE'S Patreon, it would be you (& Bob). Thanks for showing honest & integrity which is rarely witnessed lately in a venue of usury & greed.
Aha!! I am recently retired, not enough to just travel freely! Grandkids here and there and I have always been a gypsy of sorts. Love your channel and how young and brave you are. Hum….you just planted a seed in old and fertile soil! Thanks!
Generous of you to show us the ropes most RUclipsrs don’t share this information I found it very informative now I’m gonna watch all your ads I love that you always keep it real
Thanks, Frank.😊❤
Very informative. Thank you for showing us how it works.
A transparent human. Thank you for this, you helped a lot of people by making this and being authentic, rare quality!
This makes me want to watch every ad and subscribe to everyone. Thanks for sharing your Van life 💜 from 🇦🇺
With the amount of skill and business sense you have, some people would think it's a waste of your talents.
I guess you could work for a company and use those skills to their advantage or you could enjoy your life and be self-sufficient and do what you want.
I'm an older guy and I appreciate someone who is taking a shot at life the way you are. Best of luck and I hope you continue to grow and stay humble and appreciative of things you have attained. 🔥👍❤️
Always sharing positivity, and informative content. Hope you have blessings follow you always.🙏🏻
Just so you know I would have 100% watched a 45min video on this topic.
Totally would too!
I would to!!
Me too
Me too & do more like a series on it..

Very interesting video & you explained “RUclipsland” very well 😎
Thanks!

This was awesome Chantelle. Again, keeping it so real and relevant for us. Why you're one of my favorites. I'm so glad you're able to support your yourself this way!! Thank you.
Omg. Thanks so much for this info. I'm following your links for everything now!
Very informative, Chantelle. Thank you.
I think it’s helpful to share info so others can do their versions of it. Especially now!!
Thank you for sharing this info ! It’s awesome that you are able to fund your great lifestyle! Hugs to you and Joey xx safe travels 💚
Thanks for sharing the in and out of the money side of RUclips. It is very much an interest to me. I'm looking to do some type of vanlife adventure channel with certain focus topics with hopefully a viewer draw. As far as your channel, I love it.. All the best...
I enjoy all your videos!! You explained RUclips very well!!Kisses and hugs to Joey!! Blessings to you on your journey!! Love to you!!!
I love seeing you no Matter the content. Keep it up girl. I like variety. You make videos I will watch. Thanks for sharing.
You are the sweetest young woman, I enjoy watching all your videos. Can't wait till your next posted video, heck I say that when every video you make ends. Thanks for sharing a small portion of your life, your adventures. Take care and stay safe out there.
Thank you so Much for the lowdown on youtube, I am starting a channel... so this is Great information.... Keep going girl, you deserve to manifest all of your dreams.... Much love to you and Joey.
Thank you so much for explaining all that goes on behind the scene in being a RUclips creator. You are able to live the lifestyle you want and help others create that for themselves. I would have a difficult time coming up with new content to keep subscribers interested not to mention the swings in income month to month. Really enjoy watching you and Joey living an adventurous life though as do many other subscribers. Take care and be safe.
This is great art! You give a lot of yourself and this is as good as your in the road videos,And it is beautiful, helpful, and can answer a great many questions people have!! Very interesting and generous.Thanks so much.
🌼 Thank you so much for that information! You're awesome to share!!! 💙
Thank you Chantelle, this was a very educational video. I greatly appreciate you sharing you personal analytics from RUclips. All the best to you on your Van life journey.
Thank you for the super informative video. The only comment I have is about the affiliate deals like Jackery’s. They approached you and gave you an expensive item in exchange for a video. It’s hard to trust any video that a creator’s given about it because who would do a negative review if someone gave you a $1,000 item for free.
Hi that is so nice of you to share the info, thanks 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this information, very helpful! It's important, I feel, to encourage your subscribers to watch the ads. I don't know how to approach this exactly, except to explain it with videos like this. Wishing you a bright and beautiful day!
99% of the time I watch the ads until the end. And I try to remember to click on the actual ad. I know all of that helps. Love your positivity. Keep up the great content.
Great job! Very transparent! I'm going to save this one for all the links you have! I'm still debating the van life verses a little piece of land in AZ with a tiny home. That's a tough one. Time will tell, keep doing what you're doing as long as you're enjoying. Thank you again.
You are my favorite you tuber!!! Thank you for all you do.
Love all your videos and this video was very informative! I always look forward to seeing the next one. Love seeing Joey...he is adorable!! Keep on doing what your doing...Go Girl!! ❤
Thank you! I'm glad you did this video. It's helpful to me starting to do weekly videos.
I had no idea. Thank you for explaining!
I'm glad you're able to make a go of it, I have fun watching your videos, continued good luck to you!
Thanks, Julie!(:
This is exactly what I needed. Awesome!
Slowly starting my own channel and this is some great information.
Thank you:D
I love your channel. I love how honest you are. I love how authentic you are in everything that you do. I learned so much from watching this video. I appreciate how much you pour into making great videos for us all to enjoy. It’s great that your hard work helps sustain you and keep this great channel going. It was so good to find you during the darkest days of the pandemic. You’ve definitely helped give me something to look forward to every week. Thank you so much.
THAT was a really big help. You shared much more than most folks and that was just so helpful.
Hey Chantelle!🙋🏽♀️ Thank you so much for being transparent & sharing what you know. 😊❤️👍🏽
Very stellar of you to pass on such good information. Almost no one whose making money on RUclips tells how it works. You have graciously cut thru the fog. Thanks!
Loved this!!!
Thank you for your willingness to explain!!
It would be interesting know how to start the whole monetization function. I will check out that channel you mentioned.👍 Thank you 🍓🫐🍊🍋
I am excited to get the shirt I ordered and wear it!
I've subscribed to channels that speak only to channel growth, but I consistently scroll past their notifications. It's kind of like not reading the package directions before attempting to put together a complicated, multilevel system of shelving. Most directions are not at all user-friendly. Switching my brain energy from the completed image pictured on the package and in my mind, to the one-dimensional constructs on paper, is HARD. But my experience is such that not taking the time to perform this step has often made the process of building any given object or subject way longer than it would otherwise have been. SO GLAD THAT I DIDN'T scroll past this instructional video. I thought about it but didn't. I gave some thought as to why I didn't. Here is what I came up with: I'm comfortable with your face, your voice, your form of communication - and this subject is part of your journey, and your "Basic Journey" interests me. You are not "one-dimensional". It makes "reading the directions" way easier. Now, I will take a look at those other channels. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you, Susan!❤
So well stated, her content has such a genuine feel to it. When I see creators always cheerful and smiling, and their rig is always neat as a pin...nope. I want REAL! Just like this video.
This.😀
I love the Thought Cloud prods. Got the Sampler.
The Pain sampler Really worked without weird side effects. Keep sharing...
I’ve been in my van for over two years, but just started my RUclips channel..about 10 videos now. I have always enjoyed yours and found this one super helpful. Thanks girl!
I’ve recently started making videos on RUclips, and I’ve been pumping out as many as I can, and as regularly as possible, since that’s the same advice I’ve heard over and over. I know it’ll take a while to get to the point of making any money at all, but there’s no time like the present, right?
This video you made was super helpful with some excellent information, so thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to make a video like this!
This is great info Chantel! 🤩🤩🤩 Thank you...I’m totally interested in this. My YT channel is teeny tiny 🤗🤗 but I am optimistic that I’ll grow it bigger one day. I know you are right that I need to produce more videos on a more consistent basis. That is my goal! Anyway, thank you so much for this real practical look at how it could go. 😁😁
This was SO helpful! Your transparency and giving clear actual information gives people a general idea. How exciting and wonderful this all is. :)
Your honesty and sincerity is amazing.. u have a wonderful soul! Love the channel and omg...JOEY is a doll!!
This video is still 100% relevant today. Saying that you got your channel started before you even had the van was kind of an a-ha moment for me. I'm going to do exactly that. My van won't be delivered until September at the earliest and then I can start building it out...and my mindset was to just wait to start creating videos until then. Thanks for pointing out something super obvious that I would have totally missed!
Thank you for this!!! I just started watching RUclips videos a year ago and didn’t even know THAT ONE COULD MAKE MONEY with videos! I thought people just wanted to share info or wanted attention. I’m always wondering how the whole thing works!
This was very helpful, thank You!
I really appreciated this video. Thanks for sharing these details in such an easy to understand format!
Excellent video and informative, I want to, need to, be a Nomad 🤣 My family is holding me back, with all these questions, not their business, I am the mom ! I can't build out a van, have a few opportunities, working on this!!! Discouraged today, helped Chantel, thanks, I don't alway's comment, but watch! I can do this! Much love from Texas
This is great! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Chantell and Joey i love how you really explain everything so awesome i am interested just started making videos lol there crazy lil but the more i do better i will get i hope. Thank you for sharing i am listening. Take care be safe God Bless you and Joey and your family and Followers. Happy Traveling. Gloria Thee Traveling Nomad in Waiting.
The info you shared helps alot. I hesitate to do anything when I have no clue about how to do it. I still need to research how to start making videos and posting them. I am also stumped on a name. I will look up Think Media and see if it helps. Thanks so much! Happy Sunday! ❤
Hi Chantel, your videos always make me wish I was there!! I always push the like button and watch the ads because I know it helps you out! Give Joey a hug for me, he is so precious! ✌️👍❤️🌈💝
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, opinions and experiences. Whether you know it or not this is yet by far the BEST video in this sector that I've seen. You were very detailed in your experiences and sharing your analytical charts, revenue and other streams of income. I think I can speak for many this is very helpful and inspiring for me. Thanks again and I will be utilizing many of your ideas. Much success to you and your co-ancor 🧍🏼♀️🐶🚙🛤🌞
Ty so much for this video. It's definitely going into my "fav van life" saved videos file! I will probably never have a yt channel but I have been thinking about how to have several sources of income. I will probably have disability $ but def plan on having additional income. Thanks for your very easy to understand tutorial!
Thanks for sharing the information! Much appreciated!
You are so inspiring. I love watching your videos. This info is very positive and helpful.
Cool. Knowledge is never wasted. Thanks for sharing 👍🙏👍
Thank you for sharing so openly. I know it's scary to share yourself on the internet and you have been so open within all your video. Just wanted to let you know you are appreciated!
Thank you, I was actually super nervous for this upload. 😅
I am so glad you are able to support yourself this way. It honestly makes me happy knowing you are getting to have this amazing experience and life. I love you and Joey. ❤
Aww, we love you!!❤❤
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this. How many hours do you spend a day or week on average filming and editing? Also, what kind of equipment do you have to make the beautiful videos you make?
I find this very interesting. Thank you. I will let the Ads run through and hope it helps. Take care!
Thank you!!! This was quite helpful.
Heaps of best wishes ♥
Thank you for sharing this info. You are truly inspirational!
Thx for the info!
Wow that was some beautiful jewelry you made. I hope your etsy site is doing well. Also I hope you are saving as much money as possible for emergencies like van repairs ,because I've seen many RUclipsr's that run into issues and if not for their fans donating they would be screwed and I feel bad for them because I'm sure that is beyond stressful and embarrassing and that's when trolls start popping up around every corner to make sure they can make them feel worse .
Thank you for sharing this information. It's very helpful.
Love your content.
Have a blessed day.
That's a lot of great information, I'm going to look into the nomadic box but I did not see a link.
I'd like to add to the many thanks you're receiving. This is sooo appreciated.
Thanks! So much valuable info!!
I seen your first video 6 mos. ago love it and JOEY.. 🥰🐾 keep up the great work and videos
Thank you for sharing. I’ve wondered if starting an RUclips channel prior to actually hitting the road. It’s looking like I may be a part-timer for a bit. My bucket list is getting very long. Yet I’d like to get started as I have a huge learning curve to go through about editing. You all make it look so easy. Blessings for your willingness to share your knowledge. Namaste 🙏🏼 my friend.
Thank you for sharing! This was very interesting! I try to let short ads play so you can get some extra income.
Very informative & well done.👍 I've heard for a long time that the YT vloggers income info is available if one is curious & wanted to find out... I'm NOT curious about other people's money. But I applaud you for your transparency & well produced explanation of how it all breaks down. I've subscribed & UNsubscribed to numerous vloggers in the last year due to what comes across as either begging, manipulation or some level of usury. Then once they get the subscriber count & monetization they become rude, haughty, dismissive & invisible to the same viewers that got them where they are. They go from almost desperately begging people to "...like, subscribe, comment & press the thumbs up...". Then it goes to donste through CashApp, Patreon & buying merch or "joining memberships" in order to further increase their revenue.
As I said, I only watch (& definitely not) or follow 2-3 nowadays; but of the MANY that I have watched, you are the only one that I've heard to donate a portion of your proceeds to a worthy cause & not just their own personal gain. I'm not saying others don't... I'm just saying I haven't seen anybody else do it. Kudo's to you young lady & should I contribute to ANYONE'S Patreon, it would be you (& Bob). Thanks for showing honest & integrity which is rarely witnessed lately in a venue of usury & greed.
Aha!! I am recently retired, not enough to just travel freely! Grandkids here and there and I have always been a gypsy of sorts. Love your channel and how young and brave you are. Hum….you just planted a seed in old and fertile soil! Thanks!
