You are so smart to be transitioning slowly to full-time on youtube instead of going all in. Smart man... smart man... I was actually surprised a few months ago when I found out that you still worked a full-time job.
I have such immense respect for you. I'm trying to balance both my full time job and trying to work at my RUclips channel, but the way you hustle is just wow. People often see all the tangible stuff like number of views and subscribers, but they don't see the work that the RUclipsrs put into their channel. Thanks so much for sharing what you know. I really appreciate this.
This is a super valuable perspective! I’m a high school teacher, and doing RUclips stuff on the side really does take a lot of energy and strategy- even if the goal isn’t to go full time. Congrats on your success, and good luck hitting those future goals. Enjoy the journey!
For some reason I’ve only just subscribed but I watch a lot of your content and I have to say even though it was just simple talking to camera, this is one of your best videos. There’s so much useful content for up and coming content creators in this one video and the honesty about it all is refreshing. Just wanted to say it helped me anyway and keep it up!
Great clip and very candid! Long time viewer, wishing you all the best! Also, PLEASE get more sleep. I’m 42, full time job, teacher, also on RUclips and sleep is key. You might not feel it now but long term it’s damaging. Totally understand the hustle and drive, just be careful!
Sid man, so good as usual. That was a great peek behind the curtain. Way to provide value while explaining the benefits of providing value!Congrats on the launch of the course. Good luck! 👍🏼
Wow, your schedule seems even crazier than mine! I have no idea how you have so much energy while doing that, haha! I love, LOVE the tips on family and communication. That was so helpful, dude. Thank you!
You're the best Sydney, You're like 1/100000000000000 youtubers who actually disclose their current YT income. It actually gives us a good perspective on channel size:income ratio. You're a hero! Keep it up and I hope you can go full time and retire a bajillionaire.
This is very honest, thank you Sidney for creating and sharing this video. As a dad with a full time job, trying to grow my youtube channel is challenging b/c time management is not easy. I respect your hustle sir. Keep Grinding
Great advice - I've been wanting to start a RUclips channel for sometime and couldn't really figure out what to do as I also work full time and have a family at home. This gave a lot of good insight and better understanding of how to utilize time. Liked and sub'd!
This is the video I need, picking up my 2, year old from day care, working out and working graveyard hours and trying to be consistent on RUclips. I'm thinking of switching to day shift.
Brother thanks so much for the updates and you keep it real. Storytelling is key! Sidney thanks so much because I’m building a story for my anime convention video right now! Premiere pro crashes so I pause to watch 😂
Sid this is such a great video. A lot of helpful tips. You have always been very transparent but giving out income is just next level. Thanks a lot for it man.
Thanks for the insight, Sidney! Would you ever consider going more in-depth on the sponsor side, such as how to negotiate brand deals once you have a following?
Crazy schedule, I know how hard it is. A couple years back I had a full-time job and on some days have a part-time job. And school on in the evening. RUclipsrs are true warriors, if only more YTer can show their daily routines as a full-time job and YT. You are a beast!
Awesome video Sidney! I'm planning to work on opening a business (next year hopefully) and still going ham on RUclips, it's a smart move Sidney, I wouldn't jump ship right away especially if you have family ✌️
Definitely was! A lot of struggle comes from balancing full time job, family/friends, and youtube/passion. This put things in perspective. Just need to make some minor adjustments. 🙏🏼🤙🏼
Super inspiring. It's tough balancing everything, so this video really helped to put things into perspective. Get up early - Take care of your family - Get shit done!
My biggest concern would be health insurance. When Potato Jet broke his arm, I think I remember him saying that it costs thousands of dollars. I assume that your wife would be able to pick that up. (unless she does it already). Anyway, great to hear that you're almost jumping ship. I knew it was coming and glad to hear that it's almost happening!
additional comment: batching. I still need to get butt in gear with that. I've had a lull on the channel lately and had I just recorded videos ahead of time, I could have slowly released them over the last month. Lesson learned!
Yeah, healthcare is pretty expensive here in the States, so I’d have to take those costs into consideration. And yes, batch recording saves soooooo much time!
Feeling pretty awesome. The info really helped a lot. Trying to find that work life balance with family, work and youtube. But it can be done as you well have showed us. I would have never in my wildest dreams think that something I ask would be showed on a channel. By the way I'm Ricardo. Thx Sidney for the motivation. Little FYI believe it or not my name is Sidney as well hence the sidsdrakon
3 to 6 months in the emergency fund... sounds like someone else has taken the Dave Ramsey class too! Haha! Excellent video, man! Thanks for covering these topics. I needed to be reminded about keeping priorities in order. It’s easy to slip into treating RUclips like the top priority when trying to grow a channel. Out of curiosity, what is your full time job right now?
The thing preventing me from leaving my ft job is the constant stream of money, benefits and pension. How do you deal with having such a volatile income? Not that youtube is gonna crash and burn anytime soon but I did hear from other big channels that yt just cut everyone's income by about half of what it used to be a few months ago. I'm just starting my channel as something I like doing not really for the money so just curious as to what you think?
Yea that lighting in that setup is 🔥🔥🔥 love it! Now I want a Backdrop in my man cave just to mix it up. Thanks for those tips good stuff. Yea I have been trying to batch the videos lately. You can tell because of the same shirt in every video 🤣🤣🤣 I am not like Josh I promise lol
Wow so you are telling me you sleep at 1am and wake up at 4am ? That is rough. Hopefully when you are 100% on RUclips you can get some sleep. Keep on killing it man!
You are so smart to be transitioning slowly to full-time on youtube instead of going all in. Smart man... smart man... I was actually surprised a few months ago when I found out that you still worked a full-time job.
Thanks for sharing your actual schedule. Great tip...

Yeah it’s pretty hectic schedule, but I’m hoping that changes when I finally transition so the my 9-5 is RUclips. Thanks for watching my dude!
He’s young!
@@snapkutter bruh, we're in our 30s, lol. It's not as easy as it used to be 😂

I made a video about that recently! Check it out!

Oh good! I’m so glad this was helpful!

Damn, thats a packed schedule! super inspiring to hear about though, keep up the unreal work!
Super inspiring. It's tough balancing everything, so this video really helped to put things into perspective.
Get up early - Take care of your family - Get shit done!
Thank you so much you inspired me a lot.
THANK YOU!!!
Very good tips and advice for those looking to make money from RUclips. Keys were Provide Value and Build Street Cred. :)
Thanks Sidney for the look into how you manage your 9 to 5 job, plus a family - that's also a full-time job. Great video and great tips!
Glad this was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Great video as always man...
Great vid, insight, and useful tips ... thanks!
Glad this was helpful!!
Totally agree that you should save up a lot of money, i did the total opposite in the beginning of this year with 800 subs haha.
Great Q&A!
Thanks Peter!

Damn, your schedule is tight! Really appreciate your work man.
Thanks man. I appreciate you!
Thank you for inspiration
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the info! New subscriber here!
Amazing because you get to look back and watch your journey later
The thing preventing me from leaving my ft job is the constant stream of money, benefits and pension. How do you deal with having such a volatile income? Not that youtube is gonna crash and burn anytime soon but I did hear from other big channels that yt just cut everyone's income by about half of what it used to be a few months ago. I'm just starting my channel as something I like doing not really for the money so just curious as to what you think?
I would say 3-6 months of income saved up is not enough. A year would be better. But, hey, it's your life, you can do whatever.
damn bro been here since you are 25k sub.. now road to 100k .. awesome.. lupet mo! pwede collab kayo ni Peter Mckinnon
Thank you for following this entire time!
Yea that lighting in that setup is 🔥🔥🔥 love it! Now I want a Backdrop in my man cave just to mix it up. Thanks for those tips good stuff. Yea I have been trying to batch the videos lately. You can tell because of the same shirt in every video 🤣🤣🤣 I am not like Josh I promise lol
LOL. Thanks for sending in your question too!
Love you dear.
How do you get affiliate links? Is that an easy process?
Just simply apply if you qualify!
Thanks syd for the usefull tips...can i ask what is ur 9-5 job?
How long is your commute to your 9-5?
5:05 just sold me a remote so seamlessly ♡ well done.. what is the brand?
Haha! I didn’t mean to, but it’s such a good remote! It’s the Sony remote for the Sony a7iii.
So what time do you go to bed if you wake up so early?
Maybe I should start doing that, make the RUclips video at 4am, I am always woke up at 4am anyway
Inspiring! Not all peoples can manage their time. Hopefully I can.. :(
It’s hard work and takes discipline. Thanks for watching!
@@SidneyDiongzon Yeah. Discipline! Aarrgghhh hopefullyyyyy
so many teacher man. i hate learning copybook things. good luck
Wow so you are telling me you sleep at 1am and wake up at 4am ? That is rough. Hopefully when you are 100% on RUclips you can get some sleep. Keep on killing it man!
No, not all the time. I usually finish by midnight
I'm watching this 2 years later. I wonder if he is FT yet =)
7 mins until you got to the point? Bro?!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Waking up at 4am? 😳😳
You get up at 4am every day during the week and some days in the week you work until 1am on your videos? Wow, that's not gonna go well very long.
The whole of me working this much is so that RUclips can be my 9-5
You only sleep 4 hours a night during the week? That's pretty rough on your health. Get your hustle on, but don't burnout Sidney.
So you sleep only 3-4 hours a night? That’s not very practical or healthy for most people
You never mentioned sleep.
First person
Thanks for watching!
Asian are amazing at smart Nesting Saving .. YES I am Asian as well :P
🤣🤣🤣
So you sleep like 4 hours a night M-F?
