If you know of any other homestead channels sharing info like this, tell me below! I’d love to watch them. As a creator, this info is so valuable to be able to access.
@@evanwhitney5826 we’re acquainted with all of them! I would just like to see more of this style of videos shared via RUclips for the benefit of other homesteading creators. I don’t think that the large channels are interested in sharing their metrics, or they probably would have already. I’m just curious if there are any other homesteading channels sharing these numbers like I am, so I can point others to their videos to support them!
@@calicocowacres I’ve been saying that I was going to start a channel for a few years but kept putting it off. I’ve finally pushed myself to start filming and plan to upload this Sunday for the Every bit counts challenge and then next month for souptember
@@calicocowacresI haven’t seen homestead channels sharing anything like this, but I found huge value in this video. We just got back into creating content and building things up on our homestead and it’s so inspiring to see others on the journey. I actually think you and I both moderated the latest More than Farmers livestream 😀 keep up the good work.
Let me just make a small suggestion for anyone reading the comments. If you want to help a small channel but don’t have extra money to send. Just start at the beginning of their videos and let them play all day while you are working or cleaning house. I just let them run on my smart TV even if I am not home.
This is such a great thing to do! A few friends did this for us when we first started, & I try to pay it forward as much as I can. I have videos playing all day long when I’m not in meetings for work!
I recommend making a yearly "What we learned during Year 2..." or "Looking back at Year 3..." video. It's really helpful to see those. Also, the "Mistakes we made..." or "What I wish we had known before we...." videos. Best wishes! 🙂
Thank you! We are hoping to do the yearly “looking back on this year” for sure, and I think it would be interesting to incorporate some of those others, as well. I’ll have to noodle that around and see what we can come up with!😁
I first saw you at the chicken butchering on the Holler Homestead, I just thought you were so sweet and helping out, I couldn't resist but come and join you. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos and will continue to do so. You're not pretentious like some of the other channels, you just do what you do and we love you for it. Continued success in the future. xxx
The Holler video was also one of my early intros to your channel. I think I subscribed then or shortly after. Your video style is very relaxed and kind of, hey, here we are and this is what we are doing. And this video was an eye-opening behind-the-scenes (more than a peek) look of how it works. Thanks for sharing.
I found this to be the most transparent video about RUclips. Seems like other channels shy away from income made, not sure why. They will only say that they have made enough to quite their job and leave it at that.
Probably because it’s variable and honestly, it’s not something most people want to share. It’s difficult to not sound like you’re gloating past a certain point. Nobody is owed this information, it’s freely given when the creator feels comfortable about it, usually when the numbers are smaller. It’s definitely not a requirement to be this transparent.
@@calicocowacresthank you for sharing your journey! We have started consistently posting in the last few months. It’s hard not to focus on the subscriber count lol I feel like we’ll never reach 500, we’ve been sitting at 499 for what feels like forever. You have been a great inspiration to keep on going. Blessings to you 💕
Great post. Thank you so much. I’m very interested in starting my own channel but have been hesitant. Your post really helped me learn and understand the ins and outs more fully.
I wish more homestead oriented channels shared this type of stuff. It would’ve been so helpful to me when I first started, so I’m hoping it can help someone else!
@@calicocowacres Agreed it is helpful to get an idea of what to expect and what can happen. Yourself and one other homestead channel has done this that i have personally seen. I will certainly keep the tradition going when I make it to that point. All you videos are great! But a video like this for people who are hoping one day to homesteading full time with youtube it really shines a light on the reality and timeframe of things.
Thank you SO much for this video. We just hit 1000 subscribers today, and youtube fed me this video! Obviously every channel will be different, but this really gives us a good idea of a homesteading channel and it's growth. Ours has followed rather closely up until now, so hopefully the next 6 months will be similar to yours! Thanks again!
Great job. I'm not into homesteading so i had just come for the numbers but I really enjoyed listening to you so I decided to subscribe. I am thinking about starting my own and you are great encouragement. Thanks!!
I can't imagine videoing all my remodeling, gardening and all the things I do. I'm sure I would have made a lot of money but how does anyone have time!
Love these videos when you are super real about life homesteading and youtubing! Also love that I've been with you since (almost) the start and still thrilled when you upload new content!
This is the first video I have watched of yours. I’m interested in both homesteading and RUclips creation. It all seems a little overwhelming. Your video was so informative, I’ve never come across a video that explains the financial aspect of video creation on RUclips. So, thank you. As soon as I can, I’m going to be watching your other videos. Thank you for all of your helpful information.
That is awesome! Thank you for this! I saw you at Meg and Ben when you went to help out! I don't know if I watched you before or after that video, I honestly can not remember! I appreciate your transperancy, I was wandering how that warks,I wanted to start making videos for a few years but haven't yet. Truth is that I do not have much energy and sometimes it is a chore just to eat, and I am not skinny I am batteling this weight and health issues for 30 years. Maybe this is the ticket! Will see! Blessings!
This was so cool of you to share! I have never seen any other RUclipsr share this information. Absolute congratulations to you guys, and I hope that your channel continues to grow and you continue to make lots of money for all the hard work that you do and sharing your life with us. And FYI, I found you from your ‘year’ review video also! 😊
It isn’t common in most niches on here to share this stuff, other than channels who teach people how to grow their channels. I just want to see this level of transparency from more people because I think it’s very beneficial & helpful to other small creators. I appreciate you! You’ve always been so supportive of us & I am so grateful for your engagement with our videos & the time you take to watch & comment.❤️
This was wonderful!! I started a RUclips channel last October and monetized early this year but sometimes feel like I’m flying blind and don’t know what to expect. This was super helpful! Thank you for taking the time to share. Also I clicked on this because of the title and then realised I recognized you from the abundance plus film festival. Your video was great. I’ve just subscribed! ❤
Thank you for your honestly around this subject! This year we started our small scale homesteading & our RUclips journey in Finland (just above 500 subscribers😅). Thinking how much we restrict ourselves from growing on YT when we make content only in our own language...thinking if we should be making content in english, althougt that might seem a bit fake. Any ideas on growing a channel when it's not in english?
I find transparency so important and worth watching and supporting because there is so much noise out there! I love your authenticity and it is evident how much you two are creating an intentional life you love. I can tell you don’t create in order to profit specifically, not that you don’t deserve it for the time you put in, but your passion and why comes first. Cheers to knowing yourselves so well! 🎉
In my mind, the best way I can contribute to the online homesteading community, especially other creators, is to share this type of stuff. It can only benefit others & doesn’t hurt me at all to share. I hope it encourages others to feel comfortable talking about this in the future! And you’re so right. I definitely would love to continue earning some form of income here, but I do it because I love it! Appreciate your comment & glad to have you here🫶🏼
I watched this video for the info as Iv'e only come across one other person who shared this sort of info. I love the fact you're a homestad channel too! I'll definately check out your other videos. Meg and Ben are awesome people! I love their family! How fortunate you are to have them as neighbours! I'm sure you are a lovely neighbour too. All the best with your channel! 💓
I'm always surprised at how much you can make on RUclips. Makes you realize what the big channels are bringing in! Good luck to you in the future! I also found you from The Hollars.
Same here! The amount you make definitely doesn’t balance out with how much effort & time you’re putting in until you’re a larger channel, but there’s huge potential. And a lot of larger channels (not homesteading specifically) make most of their income from brand deals. I put anywhere from 6-18 hours into most of our videos between filming and editing, sometimes a lot more depending on the video. We’ll get to the point where it’s paying for our time eventually though, and for now it’s a great creative outlet that I really enjoy. 😊
I've followed you since you were on ben and meg's channel. They are a great family to watch, so I had a feeling that I would enjoy yours as well. You guys did not disappoint. Seeing a young couple begin their journey really caught my attention. I often wondered how things would be if I started homesteading earlier in life. I am happy for you both for your success and I will be here when you become a huge channel. I appreciate your efforts. Also, the podcast is fun. big smiles
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this super informational and candid talk Mickayla! I SUBSCIBED and wish you to grow and ENJOY your life, everyday and creative life 🙂
thank you for being transparent about the financials, but most of all, good on you for homesteading in your 20s. We were in our 40s before we bought a rural property, and I wish we would have done this sooner. Really enjoy your channel, and thanks for putting in the effort.
I love this kind of content! Its really refreshing and cool that you break it down and provide transparency. A lot of channels seem like they just make a living from the youtube channel which is fine, but its nice to know how you can make it happen for yourself and seeing these earnings being shared is encouraging
Am so glad I watched the whole video on monetization. I never knew that watching the entire ad made a difference nor did I know watching 30 seconds of the longer ones would help the content creator as well. Verg glad to know how to help. Thanks very for this and good luck!
Thanks for talking about watching the commercials. It wasn’t until about a year into watching RUclips that I learned how content creators made money other than sponsorships. If more viewers watched more commercials there’d be less sponsorships on video making videos enjoyable from a subscribers viewpoint
We just found your channel last night thanks to RUclips recommending your one year anniversary video. this video is very helpful and gives us hope as a new RUclips channel. Your breakdown so very detailed and transparent. We are neighbors kinda about 30-40 ish minutes away :)
Thanks so much for sharing this info. We just hit monetization a few weeks ago, and this is very helpful 🙂 its also nice to see the honesty and transparency. We, too, got a shout-out from 2 channels (The Kraemer Life and The Modern Yeoman), which helped put us over the top. We're nowhere near your number, yet! I wish more homesteaders were as open and willing to share and promote others. Good luck with your channel and your homestead!!😊
Thank you for sharing this! These kind of videos are very motivating for me! I'm also in the homesteading niche and have been at this for 2.5 years, and not monetized yet. Still trying to figure it all out and enjoying the journey ❤
2:30 I wish there was A LOT more transparency...but I also don't think it's anyone's business what YT channels make or how. But it really helps other channels decide if the work is worth it.
As a small home gardener summer is a time for being outside which means limited RUclips viewing and not a sign of disinterest. The winter will definitely be a time to get back and check out all these videos. ❤👍🙏🇨🇦
You’re so right. I should’ve mentioned that there is usually a lull in summer because people are outside. This is reassuring! Thank you ☺️ I hope you’re enjoying all the summer weather you can get!
Thank you for all the effort you put into this video. I started a RUclips channel December 2023 (just a simple backyard vegetable garden, sharing our journey). I had no intention to make money and I'm nowhere near that mark. I'm retired and work part-time, and my wife is still employed full time, so I haven't really put a 100% into the channel yet. It does take a lot of work to make and edit videos. Congratulations on your success thus far, and hope y'all's channel continues to grow. I enjoy watching from Panama City, Florida zone 9a
Thank you! Very enlightening indeed! Now I know how to better support your channel and others that I enjoy! Joined your channel from the Hollar's butcher day video. So does watching your past videos also help with your hours and views? Blessings on your family and your homestead Kiddo! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕
Thank you for sticking around! We’ve bumped into Jason & Lorraine at the Hollars and azure drops often:) I would love to collaborate on content with them (or anyone really! It’s fun to do!) but I also try not to focus on them as content creators & more as neighbors/community to build actual relationships. I’d hate for them to think I’m only interacting with them to grow our channel, ya know? Maybe in the future we’ll collab!
AWESOME VIDEO!!! I also am a content creator that lives in western North Carolina. You gave me a lot of information that I have been wondering because I am not yet monetized. Thanks for sharing and of course I am now subscribed.
I enjoyed this very much. I Learned a way to help your channel. I watch all the ads except the long ones. Now I will make sure to watch them at least 30 seconds.
This is very inspiring. I am just starting out without plans on making money from RUclips. But this makes me wonder about the possibility. So nice that you got a shoutout from another channel! Thank you for sharing this with us. 😊
I have enjoyed you two since the beginning. Your down home style and strong partnership is inspirational and your enthusiasm and commitment to your property is refreshing and engaging. Keep up the good work. I’ll be watching.
Thank you so much for this! We're just getting started with our own channel and you're right, no one talks about this. I'm not sure why? Thank you for your transparency!
Thank you so much! A subject l have always wondered about,as so many gossip and speculate about income from youtube channel... I appreciate your honest approach. And your transparency to this subject. I hope you get a whole bag of new subscribers due to your being open about this subject as many wonder. Thank you and may you have fantastic growth🎉❤😃
I found you form your six month video and was already a subscriber before the film festival. I was so excited to see you featured in it as I knew it would give you such good exposure. Love to see fellow North Carolinians living their dreams!
That was a fantastic breakdown video. I have a channel that I started during Covid but it fell by the wayside when I went back to work. You have inspired me! ❤
Thank you for being so open about this. I have wanted to document my love for my garden and have been so intimidated by this. Please keep sharing all the things!!!
Thank you so much for being so open and honest. I have been wondering how much homesteading YTers were making. Not out of nosiness but because I was considering it myself. It wouldn’t be for a few years but until then I’m just gathering info, such as the info you just provided. So, again, thank you and I wish you all the best. I certainly do enjoy your videos and will recommend your channel to others.💗
Honestly, I’m SO nosy 😂 I love to hear details like this so I’m happy to share & hopefully benefit someone else with this info. If you ever need advice in the future about RUclips stuff, feel free to reach out to us! We truly are open books & willing to share whatever info you may need.
@@calicocowacres That is very kind and I may hold you to it. I will be looking for a homestead and will be needing advice on what I should be looking for and how to go about doing it. I’m 50 and on my own in PA so it will be quite an undertaking to sell my house and my beach house and move South and I don’t mind saying that it scares me🥺 😂
I don’t have RUclips premium and I watch your whole video and no ads popped up? But hey. I loved the detailed and honest revenue information Well done.
I came then to you when you went to Meg and Ben’s. I found out about your channel then and so happy I did I live your videos and I loved your wedding 💗
If you know of any other homestead channels sharing info like this, tell me below! I’d love to watch them. As a creator, this info is so valuable to be able to access.
If you're in with your neighbors at Holler Homestead, you should try to get in with Sow the Land, too. Heck, you could even go to Uncle Justin, too.

This is such a cool suggestion!
Great suggestion
I’ve never seen a RUclipsr be transparent about this before. They so cool. Thanks!

Same here. Glad I came across the street virtually and took a look at your journey ❤
I love your transparency. You just gained another subscriber.
You should also make a video on how you edit your farm videos!
I found this to be the most transparent video about RUclips. Seems like other channels shy away from income made, not sure why. They will only say that they have made enough to quite their job and leave it at that.
Probably because it’s variable and honestly, it’s not something most people want to share. It’s difficult to not sound like you’re gloating past a certain point.

Absolutely!

Thank you for all the effort you put into this video. I started a RUclips channel December 2023 (just a simple backyard vegetable garden, sharing our journey). I had no intention to make money and I'm nowhere near that mark. I'm retired and work part-time, and my wife is still employed full time, so I haven't really put a 100% into the channel yet. It does take a lot of work to make and edit videos. Congratulations on your success thus far, and hope y'all's channel continues to grow. I enjoy watching from Panama City, Florida zone 9a
Hi from another Panama City viewer! I’m gonna go look at your channel to see what local folks are doing!
Thank you for this! I hope this was helpful to you & best of luck with your channel! 😊
@@calicocowacres Thank you, mine is just hobby but hope it inspires others too
@@codihatfield7812 I believe our paths may have crossed at the CAC. I'm an LEO
@@paulandbarbie1969yes! Small world!
I like your beeing so honest😊. People think it’s a simpele thing to make money om RUclips but that is not the fact. Thank you!
Thank you! Very enlightening indeed! Now I know how to better support your channel and others that I enjoy! Joined your channel from the Hollar's butcher day video. So does watching your past videos also help with your hours and views? Blessings on your family and your homestead Kiddo! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕
I found you from The Hollar’s. You have Sow the Land in your backyard as well, you could do a visit and it would help both of your channels.
Thank you for sticking around! We’ve bumped into Jason & Lorraine at the Hollars and azure drops often:) I would love to collaborate on content with them (or anyone really! It’s fun to do!) but I also try not to focus on them as content creators & more as neighbors/community to build actual relationships. I’d hate for them to think I’m only interacting with them to grow our channel, ya know? Maybe in the future we’ll collab!
Thank you for sharing the true picture of the time you have to invest ❤
This was a facinating video Mickayla! Thank you for sharing with us and your openness about how creators make money.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching☺️
AWESOME VIDEO!!! I also am a content creator that lives in western North Carolina. You gave me a lot of information that I have been wondering because I am not yet monetized. Thanks for sharing and of course I am now subscribed.
I enjoyed this very much. I Learned a way to help your channel. I watch all the ads except the long ones. Now I will make sure to watch them at least 30 seconds.
You're the best! We appreciate you🥰
I've always enjoyed all you're content and videos from the beginning. God bless you all and many more blessings too you. ❤
Thank you for the in depth numbers and your thoughts. Great vid!
This is very inspiring. I am just starting out without plans on making money from RUclips. But this makes me wonder about the possibility. So nice that you got a shoutout from another channel! Thank you for sharing this with us. 😊
Great video and very interesting! Thanks!
Thanks for your transparency. It’s such a lot of work sharing videos so would be great to have a little financial support for the production.
I have enjoyed you two since the beginning. Your down home style and strong partnership is inspirational and your enthusiasm and commitment to your property is refreshing and engaging. Keep up the good work. I’ll be watching.
We feel so grateful to have viewers like you. This is such a nice comment! Thank you for being here❤️
Thanks
Looks like this may be your new top video for August.
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve always wondered. Keep making videos! We enjoy them!!

I’m happy to share & im glad it was helpful! Thanks for being here🥰
Thank you so much for this! We're just getting started with our own channel and you're right, no one talks about this. I'm not sure why? Thank you for your transparency!
Thank you so much!
A subject l have always wondered about,as so many gossip and speculate about income from youtube channel...
I appreciate your honest approach.
And your transparency to this subject.
I hope you get a whole bag of new subscribers due to your being open about this subject as many wonder.
Thank you and may you have fantastic growth🎉❤😃
Thank you for sharing and for your encouragement
I found you form your six month video and was already a subscriber before the film festival. I was so excited to see you featured in it as I knew it would give you such good exposure. Love to see fellow North Carolinians living their dreams!
This was such good information. Thank you
That was a fantastic breakdown video. I have a channel that I started during Covid but it fell by the wayside when I went back to work. You have inspired me! ❤
Thank you for being so open about this. I have wanted to document my love for my garden and have been so intimidated by this. Please keep sharing all the things!!!
Love your channel and videos!!! This smears so informative!! Thank you for sharing this with us!! So much goes into videos !!! Thank you again!!
Thanks so much for watching! I hope it is helpful or insightful to you in some way😊
We really appreciate that you did this and was so open and honest about it. I understand how it works sort of now. We enjoy your channel by the way.
Very informative. We love your guys channel here at Heavenly Harvest Homesteading. Keep those great videos coming ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! Thank you for your honesty sweetheart 💋 New subscriber here ❤ Wish you enormous success!
This is so thorough! This is some great information! You got a follow from me! Now I'm going to go watch your homesteading videos!
Thank you so much for being so open and honest. I have been wondering how much homesteading YTers were making. Not out of nosiness but because I was considering it myself. It wouldn’t be for a few years but until then I’m just gathering info, such as the info you just provided. So, again, thank you and I wish you all the best. I certainly do enjoy your videos and will recommend your channel to others.💗
Honestly, I’m SO nosy 😂 I love to hear details like this so I’m happy to share & hopefully benefit someone else with this info. If you ever need advice in the future about RUclips stuff, feel free to reach out to us! We truly are open books & willing to share whatever info you may need.
@@calicocowacres That is very kind and I may hold you to it. I will be looking for a homestead and will be needing advice on what I should be looking for and how to go about doing it. I’m 50 and on my own in PA so it will be quite an undertaking to sell my house and my beach house and move South and I don’t mind saying that it scares me🥺 😂
I don’t have RUclips premium and I watch your whole video and no ads popped up? But hey. I loved the detailed and honest revenue information Well done.
I came then to you when you went to Meg and Ben’s. I found out about your channel then and so happy I did I live your videos and I loved your wedding 💗
November was the first time I heard of you when they gave that shout-out.
Happy to be a subscriber!! Your videos are always very realistic for others interested in homesteading
Great video..very helpful. Newbie at creating a homestead and preparing to make videos.
