🖐🏽 I like all your content I enjoyed the walk abouts I know it gets cold out there but love your property and so happy that you established something great your grand kids and kids see ❤
Hey there Angel my sister 🥰A big Happy New Year to you and Robert. May you be richly blessed. Don't you fret you pretty self about my walkabouts, lol. They aren't going anywhere my friend. Thank you for your support it means a lot to me.
Thank you Loretta and Jason ❤I appreciate your vote of confidence and support my friends. Happy New Year and I'm so excited to be following your full time off-grid journey and watching you soar even higher 👆🍁
Im behind on videos and I think the last video of yours I watched was about your electric and plumbing. Im here to catch up. I was fascinated to hear you talk about that. As you probably already know, i separate my solids from liquids and empty my liquids daily and my solids every other week. It's always so nice to hear others talking about this. I know many folks who have this bathroom system and about half of them dont feel comfortable revealing it because of the thought of it all. The rest of us chose this system intentionally. The others chose it due to running out of money when they built.
Thanks for the great comment my friend. I have no issues whatsoever talking about most things and that sure wouldn't be one of them. If that is something you'd like for me to expand on, just say the word, and I will put a video together talking about this. Happy New Year sistah ❤
AND..... she's left the gate and is off and running. She's now approaching turn one at a good pace, and we fully expect her to gain speed and easily clear the first hurdle.... and then it's clear sailing to the winners circle.
Haha 😂 😂 Take me to the race track and set me loose, lol. Thanks so much for the lively note 😃and your vote of confidence ❤Happy New Year to you and John.
Hi Krista, your authentic self shines through on your videos, which I know will attract a dedicated following. I do believe RUclips gives channels a final boost as they near the 4000 watch hours. Keep us posted as you grow in hours and your most loyal viewers will help with that final push. All the best in 2025! ~ Sandra
Thanks so much Sandra for your kinds words, sharing your own experiences and you support ❤I will keep everyone posted with my progress for sure. Happy New Year.
Krista! I obviously was late to the party and I missed the fact that you built your own tiny home and you're off grid. I just thought you were a gardening channel. Now I have some ideas and suggestions for you based on my "limited" experience! A few weeks ago I had 250 watch hours and 440 subs. On Christmas morning I got notified that my channel has been Monetized! I had almost given up thinking I could get enough watch hours before the year was up and youtube started gobbling them up like Cookie Monster! Now I give God all the glory for lifting me out of the RUclips hole but I just want to tell you that one hit video got me all my watch hours and all the subs I needed. Now the thumbnail wasn't that hot but I had a title that provoked curiosity and I used a hash tag that apparently was trending. I went back and looked at your earlier video titles and my suggestion is to go edit all the titles. You might want to watch ThinkMedia channel's latest videos on making great titles. I've learned A LOT from them and I am going to go back and re title all my old videos. I'm thinking a title like How A Gen X Grandma with Fibrormyositis Built Her Own Tiny Home I would put OFF GRID across the picture you use for your thumbnail... and look up what hashtags are trending maybe sustainable living or something like that or tiny homes.... there's a million garden channels but your unique angle is having built a tiny home, off grid...get monetized and then do more videos on growing your own food and recipes and living on a tight budget and accomplishing goals with health issues etc... That's my two cents for what's it's worth. LOL Happy New Year!
You are 💯right and I for sure will be going back and revamping titles, tags, etc. The entire channel is getting a makeover, lol. Very true that all it takes is the right video with the right buzzword and BAM, it's a hit. I'm really happy for you and that you are now monetized 🥰Also, you are right that God does provide, make a way and provide the increase if that is his will. So either way, I will be happy with or without because I am right where he wants me to be. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement, support and all the suggestions. Happy and blessed New Year to you and yours 🙏
Krista I enjoy all of the content I have viewed of yours, most of which has been new information to me. I have also been inspired by your friendly authentic approach. Playlists are a terrific idea for staying organised. I am happy to ask questions as I go along and understand how it may become time consuming responding to all. Here’s wishing we have that problem! I will help your channel grow to that 4000 watch hours as best I can. 💫💫💫 Best wishes friend 🙏🏻🥰 xx. Love Trace
Hear hear!!! Well said, Trace. I could just copy and paste your comment and it would reflect my thoughts exactly. I've enjoyed every Almost a Green Acre video and look forward to what is coming in 2025.
Hello Christa, I love the pod cast word too. I love to interact with the people that make content. Love hearing the questions and answers and your goals. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
Hello Krista, all your videos are great. I enjoy your gardening and lot clearing/brush cutting videos as well. I wasn't aware exactly that you are off grid, nor did I realize you built your home yourself. I can only imagine how that process can take time, especially if you're doing it alone or with random help. If I drank, I'd raise a glass in your honor because of respect. You're living the life I would love to live, tiny home and off grid. Alas, my husband does not share my desire for that. He thinks he needs modern conveniences, and I reaent the costs of it all. I have faith you will get monetized and sooner rather than later. I do know from my own experience it can feel so slow at times. It is also a bummer losing watch hours as time goes by. You will get there! I also want to say don't be resistant to asking people to subscribe during or at the end of your videos, because most of the "PROS" will tell you many viewers need a reminder simply because while they enjoyed the content and are potentially going to come back again, when it ends they move on quickly to the next interest, simply forgetting. It's not being pushy, just a friendly reminder. I am guilty myself of forgetting to hit like and subscribing. If your viewers like your content, they will be ok with the reminders. Remind them it's free to do so. I wish you the best and I believe you will reach your goals as you need to at your own pace. Much respect to you!❤
Thank you so much Donna ❤Your support and confidence mean a lot to me. Thanks also for the tips and I will start putting them into practice. Happy New Year and stay safe during this crappy weather heading your way.
For new videos I think a bit on your water management would be really interesting. I think people wanting to go off grid need to see that type of thing. Obviously in spring touch on the rain catchment! But winter water is a struggle for everyone including us! We'll be doing a lot of snow melt because we have lots! And baking Krista....always baking! Lol. 😊❤
@AlmostaGreenAcre-zs5eu I'm a terrible baker. I am a better cook and I like to bake bread but I'm not much for baking sweets. I guess I just never gave it much effort. Will definitely have to start trying harder!
Hello, I’m your 28th Thumbs up. Happy New Year. I enjoy hearing people’s goals. I don’t understand about Vlogs & Podcasts. Can you do a how to about your settings for this, because I thought everyone just posts and titles their videos I didn’t know there’s a setting for different things. Yes… I always set goals a long the way throughout my years. You’re currently at 550 RUclips family members by the time I’m commenting. I Love all your information about your homestead. Yes… monetizing can help your channel, but it takes loads of work. Speaking from experience. I enjoy playlists. I’m still working on my playlists on the regular as I keep posting videos. Yes…. I Love sharing you as well as many others on my community posts. You’re doing a Wonderful Job!!! I watch Many Videos regularly about how to make your channel more successful and I keep trying New things to see what works best for me. But one thing Many have shared is it’s okay and should be added to your videos to Please Like, comment, subscribe and hit the notification bell. That’s why So Many are doing it. But, some make the mistake of doing it at the beginning of their videos when they haven’t delivered anything to their audience. That’s why I do mine at the end. 9:28 I enjoy all your videos, but the chats are one of my all time favorites. Reason being is I can listen while I do things and not miss anything. But, I do enjoy everything you share!!! 😊😊😊Sharing in SC Full Listening 10:47
Hello Sharon and thank you 🙂and Happy New Year. I most likely will do a how to about it because I've gotten numerous requests so far. So I will discuss it on my next podcast. Going forward I will be asking for like, subscribe and share based on the feedback that I've gotten and my own research. As a matter of fact, I heard a yt expert say today that by the time someone gets to the end of the video where someone is asking for like/share/subscribe, they are already gone. So, it was his recommendation to do it early on because the longer the video goes the more chances you are taking of them dropping off. When it comes to engagement, I'm learning that for someone to stay the course they have to be interested in what I have to say, so the video topic etc., is important to capture their interest for a long format video.
Hello and welcome 🙂I don't know much about Armenia but look forward to learning and having a friendship with you. Many blessings and a Happy New Year my friend 💕
Happy New Year, love your channel. I don’t know much about behinds the scenes here on you tube, I’m pretty new, I wish I knew the secret to growth. We will all get there in time, right? Cheers to growing in 2025 sweet friend ❤
Good morning Rhonda ☺I'm pretty new as well and figuring things out on the fly, lol. I think the secret to growth and success is having a willingness to learn and try new things. Sure, many people sometimes have 1 video that just takes off like wildfire but that isn't the norm. Good thumbnails, good titles, good hashtags and good keywords is what works. Figure all that out on each specific video and away you go. Were about to see how that works because I'm going back to all my videos as time permits and doing a complete overhaul. The before and after is going to transform this channel 👍and anyone that wants to learn can watch and see if it worked for me. I love sharing and helping others grow. I am definitely not a channel that is jealous of others success. If anything I'm their biggest cheerleader and want nothing but success for them as well as me. I don't mind being the guinea pig, lol. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement along the way. Have a wonderful blessed New Year my friend ♥ ♥
Good Morning Krista - It is wonderful to hear all about what you have done, and your plans going forward! I have thought about doing a 'Podcast'. I have written (unpaid) articles for the local paper for over 2 years now. It is written anonymously, and as such I get little feedback. I have been playing around with the idea of reading them aloud - like a podcast....!? Anyway, something to ponder on. It sounds like you and I have very similar goals. Monetization would be great. As apart from selling eggs - I have no income - at all. Well below the poverty line. But like you we are happy comfortable and most of our needs are met. I am so enjoying going on this journey with you. Have a lovely day, and an even better 2025. :-)
Well isn't this amazing news Susan, wow. A couple of things are jumping up at me right away and that is why do you have to be anonymous? Why are you unpaid? What are the articles about? What sort of feedback have you gotten regardless of it being limited or not? May I ask your age range? I have knowledge and experience living under what the government says the poverty line is, lol. Looking forward to your reply ☺
Thanks for stopping by to say hello. I'm so happy that you had a good time last night and that you enjoyed the pickin and dancing. Happy New Year sister ♥
Thank you so much ☺ (p.s. You'll know what I'm talking about. I'll add one tip to your list of 15. You probably shouldn't speak when you're very tired because that can translate into stumbling over your words, lost train of thought, lol.) Enjoy your weekend.
When I went to upload one of my Ask Krista videos, YT sent an automatic message to me saying I could do that, so I researched it, etc., and saw the benefit to doing that for my viewers 🙂
Hi Krista, I've been enjoying the Ask Krista series. I've gained a lot of good informations from you throughout all of your videos. I've been wondering if I should make playlists of the different content I do. I have them numbered in stories now just so I an easily refer to them. Wishing you much success in the new year! 💞
Thank you so much Barby ❤I'm happy to hear and know that you enjoy my content. I do think that playlists help your audience navigate your videos better. Do some research and I think you will find that the YT experts suggest that playlists work. In my analytics often times I will see high percentages where people watched videos by scrolling through my pages, etc. Think of it like this......if YT pushes one of your videos to someones homepage and they click on the video and watch and then they'd like to have a look around at what else you have, do you think they want to search through everything or would they like to just look at the playlist titles and descriptions of those playlist and choose one based on their interests? I feel that the more you can make it easier for them to find videos that you have done, the more attracted them will be. We live in a fast pasted kind of world where people have grown accustomed to having things quickly. That's my two cents worth, lol...........Happy New Year my friend.
Good morning I’m sorry I can’t really ask you too many questions because I just started to follow your channel but it does take time for monetization that is for sure, but I hope you have a really nice day. Take it easy my friend.
I like your podcasts. I also like your gardening tips very helpful. I do have a question for you. Have you ever made sent? I picked up one of those plug-ins yesterday and read the amount of chemicals in there is unbelievable any ideas?
Thank you 🙂It's nice to hear that you enjoy the podcasts and gardening tips. I am allergic to synthetic (man made) scents. The chemicals that they put in all that stuff cause me to have headaches, feel sick to my stomach and have brought on an asthma attack. I avoid the cleaning aisles at the stores, etc..........that is one of the reasons I began my essential oil journey after my car accident. I am not allergic to a 100 % natural organic scent. I make my own cleaning products that are scented with essential oils, not just for a particular smell but certain ones kill bacteria etc., Sorry for my long answer. It's morning here and I only had 1 cup of ☕ 😁
I never get lonely, no, but I do miss my kids and think of them often and pray for them constantly. They live a long ways from me and traveling to see one another happens in 2 or 3 year increments it seems. Now that I am a grandmother and have a grandson and soon to be granddaughter, I will be the same. We have family chats where we send pictures and videos to each other and get together on video calls like we did this past Christmas ♥ I live remotely and hang out with my sister sometimes when I go to town and get supplies. We recently had lunch together and sometimes I get together with my cousin for coffee or my bible study group that meets every Sunday night. I don't drive at night so I get to visit with them remotely via video call to take part in the bible study ☺
I just started my utube channel Dec 9th and just learning not sure that I can give advice lol. I do enjoy watching your video when I can and I also like seeing you in other chatrooms. You always encourage me and others. 🙏 for your continued successes. 🫂 ❤
Thank you for your kinds words and for supporting my videos when you can ❤ I do like to help and encourage others when I can as well. Just like you do 🙂 Thanks for your prayers and well wishes..

When I went to upload one of my Ask Krista videos, YT sent an automatic message to me saying I could do that, so I researched it, etc., and saw the benefit to doing that for my viewers 🙂
Happy New Year!
Thanks Jen 🙂Happy New Year.
Hi Krista, I've been enjoying the Ask Krista series. I've gained a lot of good informations from you throughout all of your videos. I've been wondering if I should make playlists of the different content I do. I have them numbered in stories now just so I an easily refer to them. Wishing you much success in the new year! 💞
Thank you so much Barby ❤I'm happy to hear and know that you enjoy my content. I do think that playlists help your audience navigate your videos better. Do some research and I think you will find that the YT experts suggest that playlists work. In my analytics often times I will see high percentages where people watched videos by scrolling through my pages, etc. Think of it like this......if YT pushes one of your videos to someones homepage and they click on the video and watch and then they'd like to have a look around at what else you have, do you think they want to search through everything or would they like to just look at the playlist titles and descriptions of those playlist and choose one based on their interests? I feel that the more you can make it easier for them to find videos that you have done, the more attracted them will be. We live in a fast pasted kind of world where people have grown accustomed to having things quickly. That's my two cents worth, lol...........Happy New Year my friend.
Good morning I’m sorry I can’t really ask you too many questions because I just started to follow your channel but it does take time for monetization that is for sure, but I hope you have a really nice day. Take it easy my friend.
Good morning Dee ☺ Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I appreciate you being here. Happy New Year.
I like your podcasts. I also like your gardening tips very helpful. I do have a question for you. Have you ever made sent? I picked up one of those plug-ins yesterday and read the amount of chemicals in there is unbelievable any ideas?
Thank you 🙂It's nice to hear that you enjoy the podcasts and gardening tips. I am allergic to synthetic (man made) scents. The chemicals that they put in all that stuff cause me to have headaches, feel sick to my stomach and have brought on an asthma attack. I avoid the cleaning aisles at the stores, etc..........that is one of the reasons I began my essential oil journey after my car accident. I am not allergic to a 100 % natural organic scent. I make my own cleaning products that are scented with essential oils, not just for a particular smell but certain ones kill bacteria etc., Sorry for my long answer. It's morning here and I only had 1 cup of ☕ 😁
@@AlmostOffGridGrandma lol great info
Happy new year hope you have a great one
Happy New Year and thank you 🙂
Do you get lonely without your kids being near? Who do you hang out with?
I never get lonely, no, but I do miss my kids and think of them often and pray for them constantly. They live a long ways from me and traveling to see one another happens in 2 or 3 year increments it seems. Now that I am a grandmother and have a grandson and soon to be granddaughter, I will be the same. We have family chats where we send pictures and videos to each other and get together on video calls like we did this past Christmas ♥ I live remotely and hang out with my sister sometimes when I go to town and get supplies. We recently had lunch together and sometimes I get together with my cousin for coffee or my bible study group that meets every Sunday night. I don't drive at night so I get to visit with them remotely via video call to take part in the bible study ☺
