Can you post a video about your family story! Upbringings, how you met your husband, age you had kids, when you decided to stop working a 9-5 and what sparked it.
I would love to see a video about the animals. You could tell us their story, what it takes to feed and maintain them, and the daily routines for them. I am always so impressed with people who have a heart for animal rescue.
I would love to occasionally see a day in the life on the homestead videos. Your videos are so informative. You really think things through and know what you are doing. 👍
I am a retired senior, 63 years old and I love your content! It is so refreshing to see a young family following their dreams in a somewhat unconventional way. I make about $300-$400 a month on online earning sites, doing surveys, watching videos, playing games etc. It's pretty easy money once you learn how to do it. I would love to see healthy cooking videos and the cost breakdown per meal.
Good afternoon Katie! I am so glad you are being compensated for the great product you put out to teach us some very informative things for our future!
Thanks for being so transparent with all of us with everything! You are such a great teacher and inspiration! Love all your videos! Keep them coming please! A 3-ring binder budget / life planner is what I am currently working on. Look forward to seeing what you come up with here too! :)
I just subscribed to your channel a month or so ago. Not even sure how I found it. I’m in my mid 70’s and enjoy watching a few different channels. Mostly off grid,homestead, cabin building and a couple RV/Van dweller channels. Much of what I watch is similar to things I have done in my younger years. I guess I kinda relive my past through some of you younger folks. If someone strikes me as a good person and hard working I can relate to them. I get enjoyment from watching the videos and help a hard working RUclipsr with their income. I think in today’s economy a lot of younger folks are dreaming of a lifestyle similar to yours so any videos that would help them get started would probably be well received. Thanks for sharing and good luck to you 😎
I love your videos. I'm living my best life thru your videos. My husband & I had alot of the same dreams of wanting to have a homestead. Our 9-5 jobs then cancer got in the way. Keep up the good work. 🌞❤️
I love your content. I also love the fact that you are up front with all of us and how this works. I know personally have learned a lot and hope you continue to share your experiences. Thank you ✌️💚
Thank you so much for this! I also have an iphone 11..but I've been watching a girl here on yt that is homeless and just documenting her journey and I've been trying to help by finding out what I can about how to make some income on here. Thank you for being so transparent! What a blessing!
I really appreciate this video, thank you! I'm working on trying to figure out the best ways to make income on my little homestead as a busy homeschooling mom with debt. You inspire me!
Thank you for sharing this info. I learned a lot! You are so real in all of your videos. Love the ideas you have for the future! The budget book will be awesome! And your meal planning will be so interesting to follow. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for transparency about money. I agree, we are so weirdly taboo about it, but I think it's so important to talk about to unshame money for people. Unfortunately, we do live in a world where we need money to partake in various parts of society. So we should set ourselves free to talk about it and understand it better! Thank you for doing that :)
You have the best videos!! Just watching a life lived so intentionally has been very inspiring to me!! And thinking outside the box. I never ever want to sit at a desk from 9am-5pm again!!
Thank you so much for be transparent! I completely understand why vloggers want to keep this info private, but as someone who is considering entering this field... I GREATLY appreciate seeing concrete numbers to consider. I'm a person who likes facts and numbers, not jumping blindly into things. From the bottom of my heart... Thank you!
Thank you for the info about YT, it helps to know what to expect. I identify with your vision of life and have always been frugal. Bought a 3/4 acre plot and plan to move there in March 25 to build, myself, first a tiny house and later a small cabin. The plot will be a productive permaculture garden with chicken and rabbits for food as well as sheep for cheese, etc.
I just found your channel. Just subscribed. You are so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your life and being venerable. I wanna be like you when I grow up. 😂
I just love your videos ❤🎉 your family is doing something I find so amazing, interesting and would love to do myself, I wish I would have thought about it in my 20s and been smarter like you have! ❤ so for now I will have to watch your videos 😊
I have been doing RUclips since 2018, it took me a long long time to get the number of subscribers I have now. I don't hardly make anything. I make over $100 every four months or so. I don't get Alot of views but I'm ok with that I feel I have worked hard shown our life upfront with everything we do. Starting over with life and we bought our now homestead that still a working progress four years later. Yes I feel that I do our best with what we have. I also sell the handmade goat milk beauty products. But don't make a whole lot. I love doing what I do. You're a nice breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing. Till next time God Bless.
I have left slot of channels because of sponsorship. Some companies seem to really bend over backwards to appear great for the channel promoting them.But I rarely have experienced the great service from them that was promoted. And some channels seem to be no more than an annoying annoying info-mercial rooster.
Great video, as always. It would be great if you would write one or more books, possibly as a companion to the planner you mentioned. Although you may mention it in videos, I would be interested in reading more about your philosophy for living the way you do. I think that would inspire more people to be frugal and live intentionally. It would also be great to read some of your tips for keeping expenses down. Keep up the good work!
What I found a topic of interest is the way people homeschool their kids. In Europe its not something many people do but in the USA its like the way to go for a lot of people . Since you have a toddler you are starting again . I would like to know more about it.
Thanks for sharing. I pay for premium so I don't have to deal with ads... I am curious as to how premium subscribers that view your videos impact your earnings?
I've contemplated this before. But am unsure what to do. Kinda camera shy. I stay at home as a caregiver now after always working 1-2 jobs. Ideas on how to get past that camera shyness? You're awesome ❤
I am so introverted and was camera shy too! (I mean, I still kinda am 😆). You should plan and record several videos that you never plan to post for practice. Or, who knows, maybe they will be better than you think and you will end up posting them 😊
I absolutely love your channel and videos’. I would like you to do a video on where do you put your money. Do you have a checking account,a savings account or do you put your money into a high- yield savings account. Which is the best to grow your money if you have a low income. Thank you for sharing about your life and goals! God bless!🙏👍🏼
This is very interesting. I appreciate your transparency. Do you get to choose what ads run on your channel? I don’t remember you endorsing any products but because you are so frugal I would take your recommendations seriously since I know you don’t waste money.
Can you post a video of the animals you have and how you got them with you feed them and the cost please thanks very nice informative and important videos 😊
I just started my tarot channel. I've been a professional reader for 10 years. But it can be heavy so I am hoping to get monetized and be able to do less private readings. Thinking about documenting my monetization process because I can't find any tarot readers that are open about the monetization.
Am glad you found a way to make money that suits you. It is not something I would want to do but am curious enough to want to know more. Could you explain how RUclips income works? I am aware it comes from Google Adsense. So does that mean it depends on whether your subs watch the Ads? Do you get to decide how many Ads to insert? Also do views matter? Do watch hours contribute to income in any way or are they just necessary to ensure you remain monetized ?
This is so cool! Two questions: is each video perpetual income? If you never made another video ever, you could keep making money from these videos forever? Also, this is a 1099 job, so you have to subtract both sides of FICA and put away to pay taxes, correct?
I would be interested too. I think they are forever making money everytime they are viewed. I would like to start a channel. But I'm not technically savvy. I have an android phone bcuz I couldn't afford a fancy one. My disability is such a tiny income I can't seem to get my head above water to get started.
I have a question. So how does a person initially get started. So, say i reached the 1000 subscribers and 4000 viewed hours. Do i have to contact youtube asking to start getting paid? Does youtube contact me saying hey do you want to start getting paid ? Thank you for helping us out!
YT will let you know once you have met the monetization goal and are eligible to earn💰. You will be sent a link to fill out a monetization request and within a few days, YT will review your channel 😊 You will be paid through Google Adsense and directed on how to set up an account while you are waiting for your YT approval.
So, you just start posting videos? Where? How? Then RUclips will contact you when you have 1,000 subs and have your 5,000 watch hours? To monetize your channel And set up your paycheck? I also heard that if you make less than $100 in a month, that RUclips will hold it until you make $100 total then pay you. Is this correct? And RUclips only pays out at the end of the following month. So, I'd I started my channel in August I would get paid at the end of September if I make over $100. Am I correct?
I would be interested in your thoughts on teaching kids about being frugal. Do you think homeschooling helped your girls not feel the pressure of keeping up with peers? My nieces and nephews are all in public school and I have no control over their schooling. But I would certainly like to know about kids and helping them be frugal. I don’t know if maybe you have friends/family who have kids in public school and have seen differences with your kids. All of my grandparents are deceased and so is my dad so my nieces and nephews (I have 2 of each) don’t have many they can turn to (mainly just me and my siblings). So I just find myself worrying about them a lot especially if me/my sis/bro were to pass as it would leave them with mainly just each other to depend on. My sis and bro aren’t very good with finances/saving. So I don’t know that they learn much at home or at school about money/finances/etc.
Another thing I would add for your viewers to know is that the 4000 watch hours resets after a year. Last year I had the watch hours, but not the subscribers. The clock reset and it is like starting all over again, which can be very frustrating. So when you say it is hard and takes time, it does. It is rare to have a channel that takes off right away. The algorithm is a beast and trying to break through takes time. Just don't give up, keep going. Last year I had two major surgeries which caused me to stop recording, so while it is frustrating to restart the watch hours, I am not going to let that stop me. Thanks for sharing!
@@raisingwildflowers I am glad I am not the only one that has experienced it. Congratulations though on your continued success, I have been following you for a few years and I smile when I see your subscriber count go up! 😀
That’s fantastic!! Which free app you use for editing and how can you record what’s on your phone (RUclips analytics) by flipping your phone? I want to learn. Thanks
RUclips does keep about half of the ad revenue. The amount I showed is after RUclips takes their cut, so they are getting about the same amount. In other words, YT is making so much money!💰😆

Interesting suggestion
I think that when you start building your house you will get a burst of new interest in your channel and, hopefully, the subscriber rate will go up.
I would love to occasionally see a day in the life on the homestead videos. Your videos are so informative. You really think things through and know what you are doing. 👍

I love being able to contribute to your income by watching your videos! Keep it up!
Thank you! ❤️
Videos about your animals, how to keep them healthy, what do they eat, vet care, housing to protect your animals, etc.
Discuss each animal separately.
I would love to see a video of what you guys eat in a day and how you cook! Love all of your videos!
Good afternoon Katie! I am so glad you are being compensated for the great product you put out to teach us some very informative things for our future!
Congratulations on earning more money since you bought your land. It's fun to see what you are doing each month!

I can’t wait to make a video that gets 50,000 views. That’s quite the accomplishment. Soon. Thanks for sharing. Such a cool way to make extra cash. 😊

Yes, I do have to pay taxes. I am sent a 1099 form on my YT earnings.
