Day 1. I just came back from Porto Portugal I love it there. That’s exactly why I love you LeShaun because you’re going to always keep it 💯…!! ❤️❤️
Hey Lady I am glad to see you’re still here. Remember when I used to give the shout out at the end of the videos? I think there’s probably only two or four of y’all that are still here lol. Obviously, it means a lot when I see some of the same names & faces in the comments so thank you. I’m glad you had a good time in Portugal. I hope to get there this year but just for a visit since I am trying to make home in Mexico.And yes I’m always transparent I don’t know any other way to be. Love you too 🩵
@@LESHAUNWILL Hey lady Yes I’m going to always support you & your channel. I hope you do get a chance to visit Portugal as well but I know you’re working on building your life in Mexico. I’m so happy for you & all of your endeavors. I will be visiting Mexico soon but I will let you know when I get there ❤️❤️
Ok and don’t forget I have my Ko-Fi membership group and we are able to privately mess each other there in case you don’t want to put all your business out in the streets. But let me know.
@@LESHAUNWILL Ok definitely will❤️
Wishing you much success of your YT journey. Keep at it!
Thank you so much!! I am trying, but without the support of my Ko-Stars it’s a losing battle. I don’t see me doing this much longer TBH 🥺
You're content is great!
Thank you so much 🩵
Wait. I can’t believe how low RUclips pays for monetization. The math just isn’t mathing compared to how much work that I know you do especially with all of the recording and editing. Your content is amazing❤
Thank you and yes, the pay is going to vary based off of your niche, audience, and whatever the advertisers feel like pay for your audience too see their ads there is no set rate for advertisers, so there is no set rate for contact creators and at this point you are absolutely right. The math is not mathing. I am basically paying to be on RUclips with the hopes that one day it will pay off.
Well said
I’m definitely letting the ads play through when I watch your videos now. I have much more of an appreciation for what you do ❤
I appreciate that Thanks for watching 🙂 and I didn’t even show you guys how swollen my feet were from sitting for hours and hours so I talk about the money part, but I definitely did not talk about the things that are not monetary appreciate Ko-stars like you 🩵
Keep doing what you do! I come in agreement with you that your channel will grow and grow and grow to what you desire. You are a beautiful woman inside and out, and I pray God's abundance to you!!
Awwww 🥰 thank you so much. I will try my best thank for believing in this thing 🩵
I’m a day one but I found you be googling you because I wondered what you were up to ( I remember you from your music days). I thought your photography was fire and your tiny home was dope. You’re such a badass for constructing so much yourself, I can’t even use a drill! But when you started your journey to Mexico and your videos became so in-depth I was like , oh she’s my bestie! I love your creativity with the editing and music choices. The information you offer is amazing. I don’t know why it doesn’t translate into more monetary success. But please keep going . Your glow up is coming and I will say, “ honey I knew her wayyyy back when…..”
I know that you have been here for the long-haul and I appreciate you so much. It’s so funny when I see my long timer Kostars in the comments because I feel like I know y’all a little bit. I understand it’s a para Social relationship but it’s still nice to see y’all come back Video after video. I remember when I used to do the shout outs at the end but only a few of y’all are still around and my videos became so long and so much work had to go into them. I ended up having to cut that segment of my videos. Thank you so much for the love and I hope my glow up is coming soon too Sis and your message made me smile so big 😊
I love your content. I started watching you in your tiny home! Your videos are so well done. You have great skills. I really hope to see you succeed. You deserve it.
🙏🏽 Thank you so much!! And yes that’s what I consider my day 1’s era so thank you for still being here I am trying and RUclips only gonna get but so much more of my time and efforts. I just really felt like I owed this to you guys just in case I go ghost you know why 😔
Very educational and informative video.Thanks for your professionalism and dedication to providing quality content.🙂
🩵 So nice of you to say that and thank you so much for watching and commenting it helps 🙂 I’m trying my best. I promised myself that I would double down and give it my all so that if it doesn’t work out, nobody can’t say that I did all that I could do 🤷🏽♀️
Whatever you dabble in you kill it! Thanks again for helping me get monetized. Your videos are always amazing and the level of creativity is a cut above the rest. Less than $100 for over 81,000 views is insane! RUclips should be ashamed how they do us. People don't realize the amount of work it takes to make a tiny bit of money. Everyone assumes it is so much and we are over here balling ! Girl , I make enough to pay the light bill and buy a few Diet Coke's. I am like you; I wan't to be authentic and therefore I don't fit in any of the big $$ niches .Oh well. Great info for those who may want to start their own channel. Very transparent!
You are so welcome girl and that was all you because I think you were already on your way but if I helped out in anyway, then that makes me happy. But you are so right I am basically paying to be on RUclips and I think I have just about reached my threshold, so I know going forward I’m going to drop these videos that I already have lined up and then I’m going to probably take a backseat with this and focus my energies time and money elsewhere. And thanks for the compliments girl I try but it really doesn’t seem to matter. Like you being authentic doesn’t pay.
I hope you keep making videos. I like what you do.
@@NewCreation-sy7us thank you so much. I want to because I love my community and I enjoy it but I also got bills 😏
I understand. You have to do what's best for you.
I think your passion and talent really shine through.
I enjoy your content, personality, character and your soul.
I hope that you become highly rewarded sooner than later.
It was educational that you shared how all this works as I had no idea.
Be blessed and keep creating. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for being here. I really appreciate you and it’s funny but I always assume that everybody knows how RUclips works, so it’s funny to me when I get messages like this, and I realize you guys may not be aware at all. Glad yall are getting info. Thanks for the compliments. I hope things happen soon too as I won’t be able to keep this up for much longer.
Hi there, hopes life is going well for you. You are a amazing creative, hope you get more clients soon for home decorating. You knock it out the park with each room design.
🙏🏽 Thank you so much! I am doing my best to keep it going and i’m only doing virtual clients for interior styling because here in Merida I don’t have the resources and suppliers that I had in the states so it’s hard. I don’t even have a car here. These people can’t drive it’s a cultural thing and they make me nervous AF
Lovin it! Thank you for your content, LESHAUN!🥰
🙏🏽 Glad you enjoy it! 🩵
Thank you for this very well thought out explanation. Wishing you much success.
You're very welcome ☺️
I love this breakdown. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome! 🙏🏽 thanks so much for your comment it helps as well as sharing my videos with others who you think might be interested 🥰
Stay encouraged! I loved your break down of the process being a RUclipsr. There’s that adage that “slow and steady” pays off. Your viewers do hope this for you. I hope with your skill sets and personality that you’re rewarded for all the effort and talents you just gave to being a content creator with all these different platforms
😊- I am a new subscriber. ❤
First thank you for subbing and thank you for the message I appreciate it 🥰 I’m doing my best to hold on and stay the course 👊🏽
It will all come together girl I know exactly how you feel as I’m in the same boat at the moment but believe with consistency we will WIN in the end ❤💥🔥💪🏾 Keep pushing…
Thank you so much for the encouragement and you do the same. I’m trying not to give up.
Always love your content♥
I appreciate that I really do 😊🖤
Awesome work you do and share!!
Thanks Doll I appreciate you
Great video thanks for sharing!❤
Thanks for watching! 🩵
I really liked & appreciated this video 👍🏾
Glad you enjoyed it!
definitely is a lot of work with very little reward in the beginning. we'll get there!
I hope so girl 🙏🏽 thank you and I love watching your videos mainly cuz I’m captivated by your accent 😂 you crack me up cuz I understand everything you say. My family is from the West Indies so there are similarities and it feels very normal to me. Reminds me of my grandma and cousins still in St. Thomas
@@LESHAUNWILL awww I was in st Thomas last year lol much luv
Thanks for sharing Goddess... this was such an informative video. I, too, am very creative and will be sharing soon. And it helps to hear an honest perspective. So back to binge watching your videos... I love your designs. ❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome thank you for letting them videos play. I really appreciate it. And I wish you the best with your projects and creations. Keep me posted Doll 😊
Respect the grind!
Thanks 🙏🏽
Very informative and beautifully edited as always.
I and everyone else who are subscribed to you appreciates your candor and beautiful spirit.💛💙💛
Thanks Sis I appreciate you being here and leaving that loving connection moment 🙏🏽🩵
Thank you for sharing, this was a learning experience. You have such great energy, and so so so inspiring. I love watching your videos.... it is obvious that you put a lot of work in to editing, and putting all those tools to good use.
Thank you so much! 😊
@LE’SHAUN I remember you from Howard and Sutter! So good to see you doing great things and very inspirational
Thanks so much!! I’m doing things I cannot say how great they are seeing as the pendulum seems to only be hanging out on one side. I’ve been very authentic on my channel and like I said it has been to my own detriment because unless I’m talking about drama or something unfavorable that happened to me then RUclips does not push it. And yeah, how would have that’s my stomping grounds. My family is still there.
I love your transparency. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome! 🤗
Thank you for doing this video. It explains why we see tons of clickbait celebrity gossip channels. It also explains why so many creators create so many crappie videos. Now I will bw more careful what I click on and definitely let the adds play for 30 seconds on videos from people like you.
Yes You're very welcome and thank you
❤ your content! This video was very informative. Thanks! 😊
Thank you so much ☺️
Thank you for your transparency. The honesty found in this video is refreshing. You are appreciated!🤩
You are so welcome! I hope it tells the truth about what it really takes to do this. I invested a lot of money in myself because I believe in what I’m doing, but I’m also not a complete idiot and I know that if things don’t change, I will have to bow out gracefully.
Thank you so much for sharing.
🙏🏽 You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and I hope you will continue to support 🩵
Great and informative video...and you look fabulous! Stay strong sis!
Thank you Sissy, you should see some of the comments I get tho. If you saw the community post I did with me and L on the cover, read the post where this overweight chick commented “what’s that on her head” lol you know I never met a happy hater tho 😏
Love you 😘
Shocking news. Thanks for sharing this information.
Yeah most people don’t realize how much work it is to be on this platform especially brown folk. It’s not easy at all. Lots of work
Appreciate you Sis!😘
You are so welcome 🤗
Day 1 here. ❤ your content progression.
Hey Day One 🩵 I see you 🤗 thank you so much for being here and continuing to support the channel. I’m trying my best to keep bringing it to y’all
I love your creativity. I hope you keep posting.
That's the plan just keep on supporting, hitting that 👍🏽 and leaving a comment hopefully it works 🙏🏽 have a great weekend Doll
Thanks you too.
Good video!😀
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the watch & comment 🙏🏽
Love this channel
Awwww I love ya’LL you just put the biggest smile on my face. Thanks Doll 😃🥹🩵🖤
Thank you so much for your transparency. Yes, i have discovered that being a content creator is work. I thought it was easy but.... you know the rest. Keep it up! 👍🏽
This was very helpful as a fellow content creator
Thank you so much ☺️ yes it’s a lot of work.
This was so informative and I love seeing your beautiful face telling us all the info! Thank you for sharing! Xoxoxox
Thank you and Thanks for watching Sis 🤍
Love ur latest tiny home review...girl u got skills and a good eye
Yay! Thank you!
You give quality content and beautiful backgrounds and music! I love how down to earth you are and straight-up honest! I am praying that your cup run over!!! ❤❤❤
🙏🏽 Thank you so much for watching and I hope it does too 🩵 I tried to be as authentic and transparent as possible, but it is very obvious that drama gets views and ad dollars.
@LESHAUNWILL Yes, sadly, that's the world we live in! But it is still a blessing that you have made RUclips work! It seems like a lot to me. I just stick to work from home jobs! Lol! One is seasonal and the other one is very flexible!
You got this sis!! I may not be a day one, but I’m here to stay ❤💯
Yes! Thank you! I see you and you been here consistently and I appreciate you Sis 🩵
Hi Leshaun! I really enjoy your content and your frank conversations and I hope more people discover your channel too! My husband and I will be in Merida on Sunday for our first visit to the area. If we see ya around, we’ll say hi!!
Thanks so much! And I hope the weather is good for you guys. Today was great but it’s been hot and muggy. Watch your spending, the peso has dropped down to 16.45 so the dollar doesn’t go far at all. If you have any questions and need to reach out privately message me on my Ko-Fi platform. I’m also going live Sunday so I doubt I’ll be on the streets. lol
Keep at it! 💪💪 I’m letting those ads play! 😉
Awesome my bills thanks you 😂 lol all jokes aside thank you 🙏🏽
I love everything about your channel ❤
Awwwww 🥹🥲 that’s so dang sweet. Thank you Doll 🙏🏽 I have the best Ko-Stars on RUclips
@@LESHAUNWILL I’m from Queens and I’m pretty sure we’re around the same age. Much love 💕
Thanks!
🙏🏽 Thank you so much for your super thanks 🩵 thank you for watching and supporting the channel
You are so creative.
Thank you so very much
Thanks for your insight. I need to get better with creating content on a schedule.😏
You know if you can do that then do it but if you have to depend on it I say don’t! I love what I do but it can be daunting and it’s not a good way to earn money. It’s a great way to build community but honestly that’s the reason I didn’t quit so far.
Day 1. TFS. Have a Blessed Day❤
Hey Hon 🩵 Love you DAY ONE ☝🏽
Cool and deep video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I told you 😏 it’s crazy right. Lol I know people thought I was making so much money but I’m basically paying to be on RUclips 😤
@@LESHAUNWILL I understand
@@LESHAUNWILL You made good points 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
❤❤❤ Love Your Channel 👍🏿
Thank you so much!! Thanks for watching 🙂
Thank you for explaining that, RUclips seems to be very tricky on how it wants to pay its RUclipsrs. Great video auntie ❤
Thank you Babes yeah it’s crazy that I had a video that got over 78k views and I made 57 dollars
@@LESHAUNWILLwow.
Thank u for making this ❤I will go the cheap way 😂
You are so welcomed and yes please do. Don’t let all these bigger influencers stare you down the wrong path. It’s a lot of work and luck
❤❤❤ love you, R.O.D.
Thank you 😊 and thanks for leaving a comment. It helps
DAY 1 and STILL HERE BABY
🩵🙏🏽 Thank you Sean I miss you but baby I can not do IG lol I catch some things on FB tho. Appreciate you
B, 2500 for the year? As much as I let your ads rock out they should be paying you that from my views alone! Y’all gotta be doing it for the love. I ain’t get down until the first Tiny Homes ep 🙌🏾😁
Yeah, but I consider that my day one era, because truthfully, when I was doing photography on my channel, I wasn’t even thinking about subscribers. And yes, clearly I do it for the love because as everyone have pointed out, I am basically paying to be on RUclips and then paying my monthly premium for RUclips that I watch.Its dumb and I realize that there’s a part of me that don’t wanna let you guys down, but I know any financial advisor would tell me to quit 😞 I appreciate You hon thank you.
Big fan leshaun💙i wanna know will you're albums that u recorded ever come out?btw would u ever do cooking segment's since u hav a different eating methods
Hello doll I don’t think any of that music would ever come out because I was in battles with these labels for years and I ran out of steam and quite frankly got tired of paying lawyers. And I have done cooking episodes on this channel but I did mention in another video that I would be reserving those types of videos for my memberships because everything that I do that Veers away from my norm niche hurts the channel. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 🫶🏽
Money can't buy what you possess! PEACE IS PRICELESS, your living a wonderful life
Thank you 😊 wishing you joy L.
Thank you for sharing this insight. I was always curious how this works for content creators. Lastly your hair and face is beat to the GODS!!!! Make up be on point!!!!
Hey Boo you are so welcome. And thank you I be trying not to look broke down in all my videos 😂 cuz you know me I love a good hat 🧢 lol
The panny dammy 😂 😂 I like that term for the pandemic.
Because RUclips be flagging shit
@@LESHAUNWILL Lmao 🤣 yes I know. I just never heard anyone call it that before.
That's a good thumbnail.
Awww thanks I do all my stuff and edits too
You are so 100% spot on. My husband is related to the late Jheryl Busby. I’m familiar with how it works.
It’s a whole sh!t show to be honest.
U goooooooo🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you Doll I appreciate all your support here and on KoFi 🩵🤗
Thanks for sharing…Damn WHO’s paying WHO…it appears you’re paying to get paid but there’s no real payment….sheeesh! That’s a lot, looks like a complicated web! In any event, sending you positive vibes. Keep Rocking Sis, you “Doing It Well” 💕💫⭐️
Tell me about it that’s what I just got finished telling someone else in the comments. Basically I’m paying to be on RUclips when you add up what it cost me to run my channel.
What I do know is if this money don’t start moneying I’m going to have to shut it down
Thanks for sharing…. Who would have thought you make so little profit. Dose it matter if you skip the ads during your videos?
Yes I don’t make ANY PROFIT as you can see I spend more than I earn so it’s like I’m paying to be on RUclips 😼 and if you watch at least the first 30 seconds it helps but if you skip them all together it hurts bad
Day 1 baby. To infinity and beyond lol

Why do you pay for inshot sis?
I want the pro but it’s nothing compared to all my other stuff
@@LESHAUNWILL oh ok. I didn’t know if you knew it was free or not. Once I saw what I can do on the free version, I decided that I didn’t need to pay for it.
❤❣
👍🏾👍🏾
It’s for watching 🫶🏽
How did YT know you moved? Was it the video you created about moving to Mexico that changed your CPN? Can you use an American VPN to increase the CPN? I'm considering moving to Playacar in Mexico and didn't realize this was an issue. Thanks, great video.
It’s the algorithm, keywords, hashtags etc… so just be aware if you have a channel. You can see the stats my analytics don’t lie. And as soon as I scrubbed my titles and hashtags and specific words in my descriptions, then Brand started reaching out to me again. I don’t really deal with them because most of them want to give me free merchandise and I’m not going to waste my time I’m only going to work with brands to value my time with a paycheck and it be something that I feel comfortable sharing with my audience.
@@LESHAUNWILL Thank you so much for sharing!

Day 1
Awwww thank you 😊 I appreciate you being here and commenting. Thanks for the support
RUclips makes more money off of us than we actually makes and we still have to pay taxes on that amount!!!
This is so true and we gotta pay with our time and creativity and if this ad sense don’t start adding up I am out
😒
🥰😻
Thanks for checking it out
People don't realize you need hundreds of thousands of views per month to make significant money from a RUclips channel. Also longer format videos can boost revenue
Yeah 👍🏽
👍🏾🤗🌱🍀🌿⚘️
🖤😌 thanks for watching
I wanted to sing in 1979 way too much for a kid the men are so bad when you young. Drugs were too much.
Yes the industry is brutal
Keep up the good work I love all your videos 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
I’m going to do the best that I can but at this pace if the money don’t start adding up then I gotta bounce 😕
