As a broker for over 25 years the truth is the average person better have at least a years worth of money saved up to become a real estate agent. Because even if your amazing at it you will be lucky to do 6 home sales in you first year. AND that only if you have a huge sphere of influence and family that willing to work with you. Monica please don't take offence to this...You did really well because of youtube and that sphere of influence of 1.4 million subs. Bit of advice for those looking to do this... influencer first and roll into real estate like Monica did... now that's a recipe for success.
That’s a good point. She admitted her clients were all from her channel.
Totally agree! No offense taken :)
This was so genuine and transparent. You answered questions your audience always wonders. I find this aspect of RUclips and business fascinating and you're one of the first pioneers to capitalize on it. I believe this will become the norm. Thank you for making this video!
I love how you have really found yourself Monica. I'm not an influencer or real estate agent but I love learning about the different jobs out there. Something I have learned about myself over the last 10 years working different corporate jobs is I get bored doing one thing. I want to constantly be learning and growing and if I'm not, that's when I leave for a new job.
I’m neither an influencer nor a realtor, but I really enjoyed this video!

Send a direct message 👍
I love your willingness to share the numbers behind your jobs.
Additional cons of being a RUclipsr I'd say are:
1. That inevitable creative funk
2. Being stuck in a niche you no longer like but you can't pivot without severe audiance backlash
3. The comment section
4. Viewership going down
"The comment section" 😂
One of your best videos yet. Understanding that your experience won’t be the same reality everyone faces, combining the two really sounds like a great way to market yourself that not many are doing.
These videos I just can't get enough of from you. You're the only one diving into these questions and interest that I've also got !!
Super informative Monica! Lately I’ve been really interested about real state as a possible investment and you’ve been incredibly helpful with these videos. Also, quite true that engagement can be better than the number of followers. I started posting my artwork on instagram a few years back for fun, and although I have few followers, that’s how I got my job as a character designer at Disney, and made new artist friends as well. Social media can seem like a numbers game, but it’s the impact and reach you have with others the one that make the most returns.
It’s not often that I comment on videos but, this is top tier! Thank you for being so open with us.
This video was insanely helpful. Working on building a RUclips channel/brand and that whole part about the first year was good to hear knowing that it really does take a long time to get started lol bookmarked this one, appreciate you making this. Been a fan for 4-5 years now of yours. 🙌
Monica, this is a lovely message you’re delivering, encouraging people to find their passion and their worth without focusing on numbers. 😊❤️
Such a good video!!! How did you express all of these complex thoughts so clearly?!! So so we’ll done! And loved hearing about your experiences in the beginning of your RUclips days!
Your presentation on this video was amazing. Just being frank and honest and motivating and creative at the same time is a gift. Even if you're not in either of those fields it's always good to hear how others enjoy life and advance in career and it is good for the soul. Blessings to you Monica in everything you put your hand to.
Love you openness, sharing the pros and cons of each business.
I love following you and Shelby. I’m probably not your typical demographic, but I find your videos entertaining and informative. Thank you 😊
I really appreciate this video. I’ve been working on making content since 2016 and it’s been super slow gaining any momentum. There has definitely been some really big highs from it too though, like meeting you and Shelby at one point, going to camera camp in Montana, but for how many years I’ve been working at it I have felt I have such a small amount of subscribers and followers, but your comment on needing more of the engaged followers and not just the numbers really boosted my spirit, you’re totally right on the nail with it. Great video as always, thank you again
ahhh this video motivated me so much especially the numbers (of yt income)! It's so cool to see you're successful in both of these careers so happy for you!
Love this video, such a solid breakdown of both industries! When they coincide together, it’s a lot of fun!
I just want to say that I am so proud of you, here you are doing it all and it’s inspiring! So yay you!!
this was one of my favourite videos of yours! it felt so genuine, thank you for sharing!
This was really good advice, thank you for always being so honest about all the details no one really talks about
Best video ever. Great information and perspective. One thing that is very clear, it is easier/quicker (probably not the right words) to scale-up a real estate business than a RUclips channel.
this was so interesting! loved hearing your perspectives and seeing this alternative way of monteizing your audience that was fulfilling for you in another way that influecing wasn't :) that's awesome
This video is so inspiring! Also just want to say I love your videos, have been watching way way back And it has been so cool to see your journey! ❤️
I really appreciate your honesty about both. Thank you so much for making this video.
Side note @ 0:25 before I continue- your hair looks SO NICE
Excellent content today, Monica. I've been working with, in, and around the automotive industry for many many years. My passion is waning for that industry. So, I am working on getting my real estate license. I'm looking forward to my new career path. Thanks for your positive outlook and passion in all your videos.
This was one of my favourite videos that you've produced.
Great job!
This is one of the most honest video's on how RUclips works. Love the Church family.
you and I messaged back in the day on youtube and you responded to me giving me advice on starting a youtube channel! love following you
You are absolutely correct. I just celebrated my 1 year anniversary of having my license. That being said I have had zero transaction, but have had 6 clients in the year and still working with 3 of them. Real estate can be tough, you are all alone no one to really help you and you learn via trial and error. I created a youtube page earlier this month and am going to try youtube to generate leads. My first video (introductory video) got a whopping 6 views lol, my second content video comes out Monday afternoon. Hopefully it gets views and helps generate leads. You are right you have to get out of that comfort zone and put yourself out there. I know my first videos aren't going to be the greatest, but I know in time it will improve along with my comfort in front of the camera. At least I'm trying and not living in a world of "what ifs"
Lose some weight and wipe the tomato sauce from your mouth.
Yayy always look forward to seeing a video from Monica !!
don't worry about the numbers so key!!! quality product sells. I'm a drummer and banker in the PNW area and I have great constant work by making great content live in person and my social media is not filled with followers. wise words Monica.
You are such a good business woman. You are killllingggg it
Thank you for the video, and I will definitely be signing up for your course.
oh my god i searched up getting into selling real estate and found your videos! you really have very valuable information. just subscribed! i create contents on social media here and there and enjoy putting myself out there. and i just had the idea to want to be able to earn a better income with a "real job" so i'm thinking about getting to real estate...
Thank you for the insighful video. Ultimatley, I am interested in these two career paths and synergy that exist between them. Best!
Your info, is so well conveyed. Very smart and to the point.
Monica, I found your channel because I do both, too!!! I am a Realtor and a RUclipsr (small right now but actively growing) and I FEEL YOU ❤
Currently trying to decide if I just want to pivot to solely RUclips and only do real estate on the side…

You are great Monica ! Appreciate you sharing so much
I appreciate the transparency here
Very informative! I live in Vancouver and Real estate is definitely up there with Seattle as well.
People looking into being a realtor take her information with a huge grain of salt (which she does also acknowledge). Houses have been selling so quickly the last few year that it has been really easy to make the sales. It often is not that way. A new realtor has to lay out a lot of money for advertising, time for showing people houses, and open houses, all which often will result in no sales. The typical commission on a house is now about 5%. That gets split with the other agent, then up to 50% goes to the brokerage and 50% of your cut goes to your mentor for about a year. Also averaging $1M dollar sales in many areas is not the norm. So in reality you might make a few sales your first year and end up with less than $10k. Normally the business works on experience and referrals and that will take a long time to build up.
Wow great information ℹ️ ….there’s always someone taking a cut out of your hard earned dollars 💸
Truth.
I love that you have ethics and a personal grounding in what you do. It's not just about a quick-grab of money, but rather about the opportunity to monetize something that you are passionate about and actually see value in. Love your videos!
This video was super helpful! Thanks Monica!
Yeay Monica! Look at you, getting your groove back lol. Great insights here (& I’m not in either profession). Thanks for sharing 😘
Crushing it Monica!! Love the content!!
Great video, very interesting to hear your perspective on both career paths☺
This was so incredibly interesting! Thanks for sharing
Yes, I’ve been thinking about becoming a RUclipsr, can wait to see you video series on that.
Thank you Monica your advice is so great!
Loooove this video! I just recently started studying for the Oklahoma Real Estate exam and *you were my push* to finally start! I'm so, so excited about the journey but I also feel like I've been prepared to realize how difficult it can be to begin. Your real estate content has been so inspiring and informative. I love this new platform and niche that you've been diving into, so thank you for taking the risk!
You are such an inspiration!

Great information. Thanks for sharing your insight and experience. Real Estate Agent in Nashville who also enjoys sharing travel experiences. Glad to know we have similar interest. I’m just getting started tho..
I am so inspired by this! Thank you 💌
I have a book to study for the California real estate license. I also want to be a rental property manager. I'm not an influencer. But I am a DJ. I specialize in 1980's and 90's Flashback dance mixes. But I have a huge music collection. From the 1920's to Current music played today. You get paid the most money as a DJ doing weddings
I appreciate your honestly around money.
I think there are several ways to make money in Real Estate as an Agent, aside from the commissions you make from buying or sell in for client, you can also wholesaling, flipping, invest, or leasing apartments for clients. I think most agents get stuck on just buy or sell for the commissision check.
Great video Monica! super inspiring!
Real estate is for anyone but not everyone will make it. If you truly have the itch, go for it. This was a great video because both get mixed for sure.
This was really good. Thanks for sharing the information.
Great video Monica!
You are amazing
I absolutely loved this video, it’s jam packed with so much useful information even if you’re not interested in perusing either career.
Great insight between the 2 career! Really appreciate your input
Just showing you some love, keep up the good work.
Thank you for making this video and sharing.
Amazing video, Monica, very informative.
Great video! Im doing the same thing as you. It doesn't"t matter how many views you get if you sell a million dollar condo. Its a really interesting career course!
This video is so fun! Thanks for sharing ☺️
Yesss another video from Monica!! 😁
I love where you’re going
Very informative. Thank-you.💁🏻♀️
Will your course teach about how to get managers you can trust? I feel like no one really teaches this in depth. I keep asking other RUclipsrs but I feel like it’s a tight lip secret 😕
Great video!! What lens do you use for your talking head portion? It doesn't distort you and makes you look wonderful.
Great video, Monica!
You should reach out to Netflix and see if they can make like selling Seattle like they have for selling Sunset or selling the OC
An agent told me that sometimes a buyer wins an offer because the seller's agent is willing to work only experienced buyer agents and not new ones. Not how true that is.
Great video Monica!
Excellent video! Press on young lady!
This video was FANTASTIC! One of my favorites this far, so real, transparent and positive. Way to put it all out there Monica! 🎉
SAME!!
@@FittyFreckles nice to see you over here. I’m likely not Monica’s target demographic but I do learn a lot from her.
Thank you!
Informative POD, lots of tips for either real estate or influencer careers! Great job Monica, you earned and deserve all the success your having!
Now this is something I am considering... which direction should I go???
Enjoyed your videos!!
You should be on Graham Stephen's podcast, I'm sure it would make for an interesting conversation.
This was a really refreshing video 🤙🏾
I almost feel tempted to respond with a simple: "Hi!" after seeing that is how to start as an influencer. 😀
Loyal subscriber. 🙋♂️ I don’t like the term, follower. Keep up the quality content, it’s informative and entertaining.
PS, I enjoy your content more than your sisters but there’s no hate towards Shelby, big fan of hers as well. Just sayings 😊
Monica, you rule!!!
Do you ever feel like you just got lucky that you joined RUclips at the right time? The pool of influencers was insanely smaller when you started
She was very lucky. There is no way she would be as successful as she is if she were to have started a year ago.
@@bloop6138 How is that luck? She still had to do a massive amount of work to get where she is today. If it was a matter of "luck" everyone her age with a video would be successful.
Timing is definitely part of it! Honestly I think any influencer out there is lucky no matter what. But, I have seen people who start now and grow extremely fast. It’s not impossible to do it still and there are pros and cons to having started so long ago. But yes, I think it was a bit easier then especially because my videos when I started out SUCKED in terms of quality but viewers back then weren’t expecting some perfectly polished video. Also now you have to compete with the big media companies like tonight show, vox, etc. they take up a lot of RUclips watch time with videos a single creator could never compete with.
Love this!
I started selling real estate from my Florida fishing channel in 2018. Best decision I’ve ever made.
Your value to your real estate mentor was higher than it would have been had you not brought thousands of followers with you. You did an amazing job crushing the real estate course in 4 ish or so months. People go to university for 4 years and end of with huge student debt with no guarantee of a job in their field once they are done. Your parents must be so proud of your accomplishments. Well done!
More people are successful going to college than 99% of real estate agents. People that don’t go to school have to convince themselves that they are better off. And most students at big schools have zero debt and a lot more future prospects.Monica is a outliner and not the rule. The average agent makes 48k. And most don’t last past a couple years. The barrier to entry is minimal and easy test and you are in
I think the key is to do both. RUclips may not be around in 20-30 years, but real estate will likely be. Real estate agents do also often have a bit of a stigma as often someone has had a poor experience with an agent in their past. Maybe it is different in the USA
It’s a easy profession to enter. The test is easy and brokers always are hiring. Only the dedicated will make it a career. Most it’s part time. That’s why you have the lack of professionals in the field
Informative, thanks!
Would love to join your course waitlist!
What an amazing video!! Great job!!
Thank you for all the inspiration, love your channel and content! Appreciate the tips as well, definitely going to put some to use with my RUclips journey just beginning 🫶
Great video, thanks!
I watched you figure this whole thing out sort of on real time and I really love your perspective. Good job as always, Monica!
You are really good at this. I can actually easily watch your whole videos. Some people who are successful I can barely watch 10 minutes.
I couldn't agree more with your comment - I didn't skip through this video at all. I'm amazed by her communication skills.
