Here before Nate gets a play button! Oh and I vote for: "Wassup Tubers!" I think I'm uniquely positioned to watch this entire video and know and empathise with every single word you said. Here's to endless creative opportunties for you and your new and 100% owned audience!
I’ll be honest Nate, and I think you would find this true for most people, I don’t subscribe to channels for the content primarily, but for the person presenting the content. That doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll unsub from Channel Makers but they have to earn it 😊
Thank you for saying that @indianajim! it still blows my mind that people want to listen to ME sometimes Also I just wanted to say: Channel Makers and the team are great, have a ton of talent, and I think they’re going to rock it!
I feel the same. Nate has a unique ability to keep my attention, and I learn so much from him and his approach/persona. The same content being presented without Nate just wouldn't feel the same, and I doubt I would absorb it as well.
I hope this isn't a veiled threat of enforcement of a non-compete or non-defamation agreement, etc. That's what it reads like to me. He really built your brand, and you gave him and his family the finger. I wish your channel the worst.
You are such a hypocrite Rick. On your own channel, in the comment section of your latest video, you claimed that Nate betrayed you. You trashed him and claimed you did everything, and Nate was just an employee. I am so happy to see views tank on ChannelMakers. I wont be surprised if Nate catches and overtakes ChannelMakers in sub count in 6 months. He is already beating you in views. You guys will be toast
Nate this is YOUTube, not corporatetube. We are here for YOU! You are the channel, you are the personality, you are the reason we watch the channel. I’ll be following you here! I’ll check out channel makers, but if they don’t have a great person behind the camera…well…ya know! Good luck here, but YOU will do great!
Its so funny that you said this. i actually left Channel Makers and joined here because Nate IS channel makers and it was the reason WHY I subbed. And as much as it is a business for RUclips thats cool but the channel even feels different when I went even though it's still "early". Congrats for them but I subbed here and that's that!
Whoa! I guess I’m totally out of the loop, but I had no idea Channel Makers wasn’t actually Nate’s channel! Keep up the great work, Nate, excited to see what’s around the corner for you! You seem like a very good person with strong values and a passion for what you do. Just remember to prioritise your own well-being and work-life balance like you always tell us!
Same here. Had absolutely NO CLUE Channel Makers wasn't Nate's channel. Sorry Nate... Like someone else said, Channel Makers will have to earn my attention. You, on the other hand, have my instant sub. 😎
Nate!!!! thanks for posting this. I was on vacation for a couple of days, came back to mow the grass and throw on my favorite youtube channel....and then cried the rest of the way through mowing the grass when I saw the goodbye video. That sounds stupid, but I started my youtube channel (under another account, not here) back before you and Anna recorded the 52 videos all at once. I watched it start to catch fire when you started talking about shorts, and most of all I learned so much from you as you grew and shared with us. I appreciate all of the time and effort you put into the channel and the info you shared and research you did. We know it was you - that's why you had such a following. Your videos had SO much research and technique behind it, that anyone who watches can tell that the info didn't come from Ricky or Anna or Nathaniel or anyone else. It's all you. Most of us were there somewhat for the content but mostly because we love you! I wanted to post here because I wasn't sure you would see it in the project 24 thread. I want to say this as encouragement and as the highest compliment, but seeing you leave was as devastating as when Jim left. I'm not leaving P24, I still need all the guidance in your videos, but if you decided to have your own info product I'd gladly sign up. At the very least i'll be here to boop the like button and support wherever you go next. Thank you again for all that you've shared with us.
@@culurien3331 I'm so glad he created a new channel. Looking forward to seeing how much things change now that he's totally on his own. I think it will only get better.
Hey Nate! Long time follower of yours, I usually don't comment but I wanted to say congratulations on moving to your own channel. Thank you for all the work you did for all of us over there! You helped this single mama become a full time youtuber and Etsy shop owner and I'm forever grateful for everything I learned from you. =) I'm excited to see what is next for you on this channel. No matter what your content is, I'll always be here supporting you.
Jordan! You do cash stuffing! I embedded a video of yours on my money saving website for an article on cash stuffing and everyone has loved it! You make great content. 😊
I'm obsessed with your "howdy, howdy" greeting! I associate it with you. I couldn't click on this video quickly enough because I was about to join the Channel Makers paid community and was shocked it's (maybe?) ending. Edit: WHOA! I had assumed Channel Makers was YOUR brand! I'm genuinely shocked to hear it's not. I definitely associated Channel Makers with *you.* I'm glad you chose being true to yourself and your vision. It's a huge leap. I'm excited to see what you're creating now and to come with you on your journey.
When I realized that you left, something clicked inside and I felt a complete emptiness. I rewatched two last videos on CM many times, especially the “goodbye” one, just to make sure that I heard it correctly. Nate is leaving…I said to myself: so what now, will I never hear “Howdy Howdy” again?.. I wasn’t ready! :D I’m happy though you didn’t disappear completely from radars, thank you for sharing some details about your decision and thank you for being Nate. Looking forward to great things 💜
Here to support you! You let me cry all over you at VidSummit last year. So sorry but I wanted to say thanks. I started a law firm supporting creators and I’m leaving Hollywood behind to protect creators. Thank you for supporting creators all these years! ❤❤
Twenty years ago, I did pretty much the same thing. I was an employee but knew I was destined to steer my own journey. In those years, I've helped numerous small businesses grow their business. Now I find myself again building a new business, and it's you, Nate, helping me build mine this time. I'll stick with P24 and follow the program. I'll stick with CM because they will still bring great content. Nate, I will follow you blindly because I know your heart is good, and your insight on YT is worth its weight in gold! I know starting your own journey can be financially challenging. So I'll gladly make a monthly donation to help keep the wheels going there at Nate HQ. 🙂 Ps. It's good you've cleared the air, and now both CM and yourself can get on with the day job. Pss. Unless someone has you nailed down, you own 'Howdy Howdy' and 'Booping the Like'...rock on!
Oh my gosh, thank you for sharing a bit of your story and offering to help. That's above and beyond. I'll definitely be keeping you and the channel in the loop here if a need comes up. Dang. Your comment made my day
Excited to see what you do with the channel, I found channel makers SO helpful and I think you’ve handled the transition with a ton of grace and like a true pro
Thank you Nate, I could not subscribe fast enough.... It was daunting to not know if you would reach out on this platform for the current moment, thank you for sharing this. Thank you for sharing your experience over the years. You make the world a better place. Take care of yourself. (Love the 'in the meantime' banner!) Sending you positive energy!!
Omg this is the biggest relief! I thought you were leaving YT for good and I’m so glad you’re here creating something that’s yours! I’m sure you’ll grow and this community will be even stronger because we want the best for you!
Was literally typing this exact comment... was so sad to be losing Nate on Channel Makers, but turns out we didn't lose him at all, we get him in a whole new format! I'm here for it. 😊
YESSS ME TOO!! Such the biggest relief! I was mourning the loss of never seeing Nate again on YT, only to find he's only morphed in form to here. What a delight! I shall enjoy whatever you're creating, Nate, as knowing you, it's gonna be epic!
Two words…thank God! This video makes me so happy. I love that you are back. I love that you are doing well. And, I love that you are enough. I hope to see you again at VidSummit this year. It was great to meet you last September, and I’m excited for your future. God bless you Nate! 🤗🙏🏽
I didn’t realize for a long time that channel makers was part of Jim and Ricky’s deal. The passion you demonstrated was way more than that of an employee. You’ll kill it! I’m looking forward to the revision of howdy, howdy! Already subbed. All the best!
SO glad you posted this! When we saw your goodbye video we were so sad, mostly because we weren't sure how to keep up and keep in touch with you! So needless to say, we're stoked to see this video and to learn that you have something new in the works. Just want to encourage you and say we're excited for you. Your enthusiasm and care for your audience has always been obvious-and that's why we, your audience, have grown to love you too! Excited to be early subscribers to your new channel. And if we can help in any small way with anything you have in the works, don't at all hesitate to let us know. We'll be here for the ride!!
Nate, THANK YOU from hundreds of thousands of creators that you have helped. We truly appreciate the time, effort, dedication and your honesty. While I’m sure we all wish Channel Makers to keep going and thrive, it’s very hard for many of us to not have you there since in a way a “bond or trust” was built over time with you. It’s like Rob leaving VidIQ or Sean leaving ThinkMedia… it just wouldn’t be the same. Nevertheless, wishing you and Channel Makers continued success.
Nate, your video just popped up in my feed, I didn't know you created a new channel. I can't be happier to see you. "Howdy-Howdy"s and "boop the like button" are your signature phrases no matter the name of the channel and we will always associate them with you. Your energy and enthusiasm are simply not replicable, you've always been the heart and soul of Channel Markers and it was high time for you to officially become what you've always been- a Big Boss.
Love your work. Love that you are excited and on your awesome journey. Thanks for including us in some of the details and decisions along the way. Keep on keepin on!! Thank you for your content!
Hey Nate! Was really glad to see "Nate Black" channel show up on my RUclips home page today. I lit right up! :) Having watched every single one of your Channel Makers long and short form videos since I discovered you, I'm very much looking forward to what you'll be doing here now also! You're one of the best creators in this space IMHO, so your new channel should likely grow rapidly both from that and from your knowledge in the space. Also looking forward to seeing what the owners of Channel Makers will be producing now as well, and will stay subscribed there too. Congrats for the courage to make what must have been a difficult decision, but knowing in your heart what you wanted to do and going for it! Best wishes for your new success!
It was a shocker but also a good reminder that, as viewers, we never will know what's truly going on behind the scenes... so don't assume anything. Glad you're starting your own thing. You're gonna crush it! 👑 Thanks for all your tips
@@ThatNateBlack Of course! You've provided so much value to me, and I love the projects they talked about, too. Don't see why it has to be one or the other. I'm so excited for you!!!
Thank you for showing the set up. When I started my channel, I was using a selfie stick, stuck down in a wine bottle to hold my iPhone up to record the videos not joking. It was as bare-bones as you could get. I look forward to being a part of your future as a viewer and a subscriber. I’ve already learned a lot, so I’m pretty excited.
You don't know how sad I was when you left the channel, and I thought I was never going to see Nate again. I really love your personality and the way you share information, and the help I am getting from you to grow my channel is tremendous. It's really nice to see you back :) 🎉
You are the living, breathing personification of how RUclips success is so tied to the person, their story and their personality to deliver a meaningful slice of information, entertainment, whatever it takes to make us want to watch a youtube video. I've learnt so much from watching you, and look forward to much more. Cheers!
So so glad you posted this! I can’t tell you what a big impact you’ve had on me. Nate, you are a big reason that I hit 1000 subscribers recently after 8-9 weeks and growing. I just want to say; im subbing and am with you (love channel makers too by the way).❤ I can’t wait to see the amazing content you are going to bring. 🎉🎉
So glad you popped up on my Home page. Was worried i wouldn't find your new channel. We support you with your new journey and excited for the great content to come.
I am still shocked by your departure from Channel Makers but I am glad you are starting anew and exploring your own path. You have inspired me to make certain changes quicker in my own channel. You sharing your authentic self is a great thing whether it be your emotion, your mental health, your family life, etc. You did a fabulous job on Channel Makers, I learned a lot from you. I am ready to listen and watch whenever you are ready.
I've been following you since you joined P24. I was myself a member there for many years, and you truly made the RUclips path in P24 what it is today. I'm honored to have the privilege to follow you from the start of a new jouney again. TLDR; in before 100k plaque!
Glad to see you back so quickly, Nate. Fascinating how many of us see you as a kind of friend. I do appreciate your special warmth. Me too, I subscribed immediately. So maybe you want to teach us a bit more about cultivating our personality in our videos? - All the best for your new start!
I've been a long-time follower of Channel Makers (and still plan on following), but this is my first time commenting on any of your videos. THANK YOU for all that you've done in breaking-down the nitty-gritty of RUclips in a way that simply no one else does. I'm absolutely stoked to see what projects you come up with next! You've got this, Nate!
I joined CM around a year and a half ago, I thought at that point it was your channel and I was hooked. Your energy and persona are contagious. How you come across and explain things make following a video easy. The howdys and boops will be missed on CM, but your loss their might not be enough to keep me subscribed. No matter how good the content, it's the person in front of the camera that captivates the audience. I'll subscribe here to follow your journey. You've given many creators support and now it's time to return it.
So glad I found this video. At first I was afraid you were leaving RUclips completely. Seeing how excited you are has me even more excited to see what's next! Already subbed and looking forward to that next upload. Best of luck with the transition!
Nate your personality, knowledge and professional attitude will take you to new heights. I am excited about your channel as much as you are and I genuinely feel that 1M subs is not very far away.
Since we being honest and transparent, can I just say how happy I am that you're losing the Howdy Howdy! 🎉 Any other greeting will do 😂 Very happy for both you and channel makers and either way will continue to support both. As a newbie, finally starting my RUclips journey this year I've learned so much from you on channel makers and look forward to seeing what they can continue to teach me. And as for you, I look forward to following your new journey, because as a person, I appreciate your authenticity, as there is very few like you out there💛 much respect, from 🇿🇦✌️
Your enthusiasm is contagious!! Enjoy the parade with your family! Looking forward to tagging along, for this new chapter. Thank you for sharing. I did mention on the other video, we (the CM community) were deeply invested in you (YOU,) because you were ALWAYS genuine and invested in us/ our success. So the suddenness felt like the cliffhanger that leaves your stomach on the floor. But this update, is a cliffhanger too, but the good kind. I for one, am excited for you, and excited with you :)
I am so glad the theories of you making a RUclips channel of your own were correct. 🤩 Thank you for the authenticity and transparency. I hope you keep this as part of your channel. Here's to new beginnings! 🍻
Phew! Oh man, thank you for posting this. I'm so glad to see you excited and ok. A few of your final community posts on CM are starting to make more sense now, haha. Enjoy YOUR new channel, and so excited to be one of the first 100 subscribers! :) Hope you enjoyed the parade!
I watched your videos since I was at about 6k subscribers on my channel! I've also pointed many new youtubers to your videos so they can start pragmatically approaching building their channels.
Nate, You have always connected with the viewer…I was one who never commented (but I did “smash” the like button) yet you connected with me. I have subscribed and am also excited about where you are going and have joined for the journey. May God richly bless you with abundance that adds no sorrow! To be continued… psalmist chad
Nate! I am so excited to see you launching into this new adventure! Ive been following you for about 2 years now. You have been my number one source of youtube inspiration and information. So glad you are still in the game!
I'm so glad you have your own channel now! And I'll buy whatever you're selling in a heartbeat!! I'm glad all that work at CM was really YOU behind it. Really appreciate you took the time to clarify everything we all had on our minds. Really provides closure so we can end our self-doubts and sleepless nights! Creative differences always happen, even for me as a bassist and music producer. It's only a natural progression. I'm actually really and honestly glad you've not given up on RUclips and that you're not done with creation! You're probably one of the best teachers on the subject on RUclips. I was worried that that last video on CM and IS would be the last we'll ever see of you! That would've been absolutely devastating! I totally understand wanting creative ownership, in anything that you've put so much effort into. I really, really love that you're doing your own thing now cos you so deserve your own audience and followers. It's so understandable to delegate tasks so you can maximise efficiency and instead, focus entirely on research and content planning, which is what matters most. I appreciate your strength and skills in research and finding solutions for us mere RUclips mortals when we need it most. I also think you're brave and fearless to do what you did/have to do and to act quickly when guts tells you to. Everybody moves at their own pace. I'm just as impatient and needs things to move quickly too. I only wished I knew you were leaving so I could stay up past midnight and join one of the P24 Masterminds and just be there for your last session. But that's ok! You're here! I'm with P24 for blogging but it was you, your voice, your on-camera charisma, your genuine personality and contagious enthusiasm that brought me to P24 in the first place. And like I've mentioned at the P24 forum, which you've responded to, I still and whole heartedly respect and support your decision. I'm very excited for you and I'm watching this space very closely! And please don't ever change! P.S. Also I wanna mention that I love that you're 'back to square one', still in the midst of setting things up and everything is still work-in-progress. It's like having Nate back again, only this time, we're really with you on your journey from the beginning.
Well done Nate, taking the leap of faith. It might be painful in the short term, but with your capabilities, you will be thriving and having a huge channel of your own in no time. It's not easy to be a dad and run a youtube channel, ask me how I know. I have no doubt people will be following you, not because you are the face of channel makers, but instead they'll be following your creativity and wealth of knowledge. All the best to your new channel. You have my support.
Really excited for you Nate. Wishing you every success. I will be following your new ventures and showing support where I can. I loved the "howdy howdy" greeting, maybe that doesn't need to go? :)
so happy to see you back Nate. I always loved the way you present stuff. I am excited to with you on this journey and see where you go now and what is coming up. Change is a good thing and new opportunities come. Best of luck and keep Howdy-howdy, because it's YOU😊😊😊😊
Thank God... never thought I'd care so much about a "RUclipsr" but your farewell and then all these people coming out of the woodwork on the channel made me extremely suspicious and fairly hurt. I could, and CAN feel your genuine nature coming through your videos so it didn't strike me as a betrayal in that way, I had a feeling it was you behind everything all along... but Channel Makers really messed up with taking a massive backseat and profiting off your hard work as an employee for so long and not doing even a video every once in awhile with you sitting down with other team members as a "special" kind of episode... anticipating something like this happening... I'm your 32nd subscriber and I can't tell you how excited I am to follow you so early in your new journey and watch you rocket off after everything you've helped me with on my husband's RUclips channel (Bambara Boxing). When we first started we were both scared, but I found you, and trusted you, and Anthony gradually came to ask me "Well what does Nate think about that?" and we'd turn to you. So thank you. I can't wait to see what's next for you brother! Whatever it is, RUclips advice or NOT, I'm here for it!
oh my gosh thank you. It's humbling to hear that from you. as far as the CM team, showcasing additional team members was a priority, we just hadn't done it yet when I left I really think I have something amazing I'm working on, and am so glad you're here for the journey (as my 32nd sub no less!)
@@ThatNateBlack Also, I will re-sub to Channel Makers... I got a little emotional... but your advocating for them is moving, so on your word, I will give them an honest chance.
Congratulations to starting a new journey! Most channels that give RUclips advice are frankly quite horrible, and rarely gives advice that applies to what I do so finding you at channel makers was a relief 😊. And you never gave me the impression that you were doing it all on your own. BUT im a bit surprised that you weren't part of the decision making and running of the company, as you clearly would be an asset! I'm very excited about your new channel and looking forward to new interesting content. Best of luck!
I'm so happy to see you evolve and going for something you wanted. You are someone who helps me a lot in my journey, so I'm really looking forward to your next video. Wish you luck 🥰
Wishing you every success, Nate. Everyone deserves to have something that is truly their own; even more so when they're putting in the hard work. I was lucky to stumble across Channel Makers, and it was YOU that hooked me: you present yourself and the content so clearly, and you keep my attention. It's always been evident that you cared about helping the audience. I can't wait to see what you have planned, and I'm so happy to see how much support you have here in the comments.
I wish you all the best, Nate, even though I have no idea who you are; I've never seen you before today, and I don't know anything about Channel Makers.
I discovered Channel Makers just a week or so ago and immediately subscribed after watching one video. Your character and integrity are clear and that's the kind of person I want to learn from. Subscribed here and excited to see what you do!
5 years ago I left a job I adored because for one reason and another it wasn’t working for me any more so I have a lot of respect for this. Thank you for explaining further, things make more sense now. You seem much more relaxed in this delivery I’m happy for you. I never really commented on your videos on cm but I never missed an upload. I enjoyed your delivery more than the content (after 5 years of watching this type of content I had given up on most of the other channels). I’d always click to watch straight away. The parasocial relationship is interesting! Anyway I know you’ll rock this new channel and grow even bigger. I look forward to seeing what your next moves are. Good for you, Nate 😊
Yo!! I love Jim, Ricky, Anna and everyone at income school, but I find you the most relatable. You've truly played a massive role in my RUclips journey and I'm very happy to see this heightened authenticity you're bringing to the table in your own channel. Way to take it to the next level!
NATE…..I’m 100% on board with your new journey brother. My channel is finally rocking and I owe much of its progress to the knowledge I gained from you. Buckets of gratitude good sir. Super excited for your new business. SUBSCRIBED.
Surprised to see you here! As fellow car (and gaming) enthusiasts, we love your work! I guess there's always something to learn from others, even after your 10+ years making a channel as successful as yours. We've got a long way to go but I do believe perseverance is the key to many successes. Thanks for adding to our inspiration!
I’m just glad you’re still here on RUclips! Congrats on entering this next stage in your journey! 💪🏽🎉🎉 Also, you gotta keep the “howdy howdy” greeting! It’s too iconic lol
I’m so glad to see you back! I’ll be honest I was shocked that Channel Makers wasn’t your own personal channel. I’m glad you have your own space now and you fully deserve to have your own ad revenue direct as I didn’t subscribe to Channel Makers for other people it was you directly. You’ve helped to inspire me 😊 I hope you will continue to provide similar style videos but whatever you do you will be amazing! 🎉 While I won’t unsubscribe from channel makers the channel with you felt like a unique niche as it was one person (so I thought) there’s already a large channel ThinkMedia that fills the gap of RUclips advice from a large brand/company with multiple presenters etc. I wish them well but I’ll keep getting my advice from you 😊
I appreciate your passion, dedication, and desire for ownership over the good you pour into the world. We’re here with you friend. You’re a good man. And as much as I can say this without sounding like a creeper, the deep teal shirts are your best color. 😊 Looking forward to your unleashed passioned and looking forward to helping you build this channel. Let us know what you need from us. Blessing to your family and happy 4th my friend. -Chrystal and Reeve Flat Tire Farm
Wow, thank you Chrystal and Reeve. That means a lot. At this point I think the best thing to help would be to stay in the loop. I've got things in the works, and you'll be able to hear about them :) Also, totally not creeper sounding, actually good feedback!
Thanks, Nate. Great to hear from you in the wake of all this and gain some clarity. Thank for all you have done to help me and other creators! I will be following your next journey. All the best to you! 🙏🏼
Hi Nate, I just realized Channel Makers wasn't your personal channel. Even the tiny blue room you filmed in had that spare room with a backlight vibe we all have filming from home. Only when I joined Project 24 did I see all these other people involved, and I thought, "Who are these guys?" From a business perspective, it makes total sense what you are doing. At least in my opinion, You have started to achieve what all RUclipsrs yearn to achieve, where people start showing up to the channel for you, not just the information you share. When that starts to happen, it doesn't make a lot of sense for someone else to reap the rewards for that. I wish you the best of luck. I still feel like much of the success iv had on RUclips in the last six months was down to your contributions to Project 24, so thank you for that. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to next.
I think that if there’s the perception ‘to be big on RUclips you need a team’ many have not seen results from the content you produced. I can say that from your content, I have never understood RUclips more than now. And that I’ve 100% seen a benefit with the content I’ve created. So I thank you Nate ❤️
Absolutely, 100%, gotta look after #1 ! It’s always difficult moving on from a job you love and have dedicated so much of your life to, without needing to go through all of the turmoil, emotions and transition in public! Sounds like the right decision for you and the CM team in the long term and I wish you both well. You’ve helped me massively getting my small channel off the ground, and I wish you and your family all the best! Take care, Chaz 👍🏻
I appreciate your candor and your understanding of your needs. I wish both channels well. I am now subscribed to two wonderful channels and expect to keep learning! I am excited to see what you will bring on this channel.
As long as your exit was smooth and your relationship with Ricky and the team is intact. Then I’m happy for you. They provided you with an amazing opportunity and you did yourself and them proud. Good luck for the future. I wonder who’s going to take over Their channel.
Hi Nate, I've followed CM since I started my own channel from the beginning of last year. You've been so helpful in giving useful advices and I really like your teaching style. I'm so glad that I can find you from your new channel from the comments. I wish that they could have introduced your new channel there as an acknowledgement. The way you said bye there really show how respectful you are and how graceful you are. As a content creator, I could imagine what a complex feeling that you must have had with all the decision making. Not easy at all. We will continue to support you with your new adventures. And yes, I count your dear wife and children as part of your team because their support for you motivate what you have been doing. Keep up your good work! *P.S. Howdy-howdy really represents you, so if you use that, I believe that the majority of us connect this greeting to you directly. It's a Nate thing. Either way, all the best with your new journey!
Nate, I think it’s safe to say that we have not been as excited (for you) as this for a long time either! You’ve got this, here’s to starting over with your legion of followers because truth is, people follow good people. We got you! ❤
You are the one who helped get me started in doing videos! Still working on getting my first twenty! You are amazing at getting your information out, very knowledgeable and will soon have just as many or more subscribers as you drove to the other channel.
Hello, Melissa, so great to have met you! I was wondering if Nate had a wife and family. Now I know! Very happy. It's like knowing about Rob Wilson''s wife and Nick Nimmin's brother. Nate becomes more real. ♥♥♥
Here before Nate gets a play button!
Oh and I vote for: "Wassup Tubers!"
I think I'm uniquely positioned to watch this entire video and know and empathise with every single word you said. Here's to endless creative opportunties for you and your new and 100% owned audience!
Rob to spin-off too?
Prob not.
Ahaha “wussup tubers” is gold, but absolutely not 😂
Thank you so much for being here man
Yes, here before Nate gets a play button! And yes, to his new and 100% owned audience!
“Good morning, Tube Town! How’s it going?”
No? Just no? OK.
I’ll be honest Nate, and I think you would find this true for most people, I don’t subscribe to channels for the content primarily, but for the person presenting the content. That doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll unsub from Channel Makers but they have to earn it 😊
I agree, I am the same!
Thank you for saying that @indianajim! it still blows my mind that people want to listen to ME sometimes
Also I just wanted to say: Channel Makers and the team are great, have a ton of talent, and I think they’re going to rock it!
I feel the same. Nate has a unique ability to keep my attention, and I learn so much from him and his approach/persona. The same content being presented without Nate just wouldn't feel the same, and I doubt I would absorb it as well.
@@ThatNateBlack You are quite unique, and very easy to listen to - and that helps us learn better.
I was considering unsubscribing from them but I possibly might give them a chance. So we’ll see
G’day Nate!
It’s great to see so much positivity here. We wish you the best and are also looking forward to seeing what’s next!
All good energy. Loving this though feeling somewhat emotional. I love the maturity from both parties after the official parting!
@@thespeakingpen Right?? So much good energy!! I love that too!
I hope this isn't a veiled threat of enforcement of a non-compete or non-defamation agreement, etc. That's what it reads like to me. He really built your brand, and you gave him and his family the finger. I wish your channel the worst.
You are such a hypocrite Rick. On your own channel, in the comment section of your latest video, you claimed that Nate betrayed you. You trashed him and claimed you did everything, and Nate was just an employee. I am so happy to see views tank on ChannelMakers. I wont be surprised if Nate catches and overtakes ChannelMakers in sub count in 6 months. He is already beating you in views. You guys will be toast
Nate this is YOUTube, not corporatetube. We are here for YOU! You are the channel, you are the personality, you are the reason we watch the channel. I’ll be following you here! I’ll check out channel makers, but if they don’t have a great person behind the camera…well…ya know! Good luck here, but YOU will do great!
Well said!
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I watched the other channel because of Nate, and I will watch him here.
I agree!
So true! I learnt this early on thanks to Nate. People watch RUclips for YOU! 🙂
Its so funny that you said this. i actually left Channel Makers and joined here because Nate IS channel makers and it was the reason WHY I subbed. And as much as it is a business for RUclips thats cool but the channel even feels different when I went even though it's still "early". Congrats for them but I subbed here and that's that!
you start small, you grow and you move on. That's life!
Welcome back! Let’s collab!
Good to see you right back into the game, Nate! ❤
HUGE thank you Daniel!
The fact that this video got surfaced to me proves that it’s always about the audience. That’s the algorithm’s job!Welcome back, buddy! 🤘🎸🔥
Whoa! I guess I’m totally out of the loop, but I had no idea Channel Makers wasn’t actually Nate’s channel!
Keep up the great work, Nate, excited to see what’s around the corner for you! You seem like a very good person with strong values and a passion for what you do. Just remember to prioritise your own well-being and work-life balance like you always tell us!
Will do, thank you @JediBunny! the Channel Makers team is going to rock it now, with their own angle!
Same here. Had absolutely NO CLUE Channel Makers wasn't Nate's channel.
Sorry Nate... Like someone else said, Channel Makers will have to earn my attention. You, on the other hand, have my instant sub. 😎
Well said @JediBunny.
Same
As a smaller creator who has been following CM for a while, I must admit I am excited to see what happens here!
well that's really good, because I might have some things in the works :)
@@ThatNateBlack no shit?! come on tell us... ;D
Nate!!!! thanks for posting this. I was on vacation for a couple of days, came back to mow the grass and throw on my favorite youtube channel....and then cried the rest of the way through mowing the grass when I saw the goodbye video. That sounds stupid, but I started my youtube channel (under another account, not here) back before you and Anna recorded the 52 videos all at once. I watched it start to catch fire when you started talking about shorts, and most of all I learned so much from you as you grew and shared with us. I appreciate all of the time and effort you put into the channel and the info you shared and research you did. We know it was you - that's why you had such a following. Your videos had SO much research and technique behind it, that anyone who watches can tell that the info didn't come from Ricky or Anna or Nathaniel or anyone else. It's all you.
Most of us were there somewhat for the content but mostly because we love you! I wanted to post here because I wasn't sure you would see it in the project 24 thread. I want to say this as encouragement and as the highest compliment, but seeing you leave was as devastating as when Jim left. I'm not leaving P24, I still need all the guidance in your videos, but if you decided to have your own info product I'd gladly sign up. At the very least i'll be here to boop the like button and support wherever you go next. Thank you again for all that you've shared with us.
Oh my gosh thank you Amber! means a lot to hear from you. This channel is where things will happen so... :)
Me too.. I had tears for sure..
Glad I wasn’t the only one with tears 😅
@@culurien3331 I'm so glad he created a new channel. Looking forward to seeing how much things change now that he's totally on his own. I think it will only get better.
@@GoldenK9Campers I agree!!
Intention and Perception do not always align and some creators like me definitely feel mislead. 😕
100%, me too
💯 I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it but Im definitely learning to identify the signs so it doesn't happen again.
Hey Nate! Long time follower of yours, I usually don't comment but I wanted to say congratulations on moving to your own channel. Thank you for all the work you did for all of us over there! You helped this single mama become a full time youtuber and Etsy shop owner and I'm forever grateful for everything I learned from you. =) I'm excited to see what is next for you on this channel. No matter what your content is, I'll always be here supporting you.
Jordan! You do cash stuffing! I embedded a video of yours on my money saving website for an article on cash stuffing and everyone has loved it! You make great content. 😊
@@Homegrown_Hillary I do! Thank you for your kinds words it means a lot to me, I love our little cash budgeting community!
I'm obsessed with your "howdy, howdy" greeting! I associate it with you.
I couldn't click on this video quickly enough because I was about to join the Channel Makers paid community and was shocked it's (maybe?) ending.
Edit: WHOA! I had assumed Channel Makers was YOUR brand! I'm genuinely shocked to hear it's not. I definitely associated Channel Makers with *you.* I'm glad you chose being true to yourself and your vision. It's a huge leap.
I'm excited to see what you're creating now and to come with you on your journey.
When I realized that you left, something clicked inside and I felt a complete emptiness. I rewatched two last videos on CM many times, especially the “goodbye” one, just to make sure that I heard it correctly. Nate is leaving…I said to myself: so what now, will I never hear “Howdy Howdy” again?.. I wasn’t ready! :D
I’m happy though you didn’t disappear completely from radars, thank you for sharing some details about your decision and thank you for being Nate. Looking forward to great things 💜
Awe... that means a lot to hear, thank you
Glad you started your own Channel Nate! This just popped in my feed and I’m excited to see more of your content to help grow smaller channel!! 🥹
Here to support you! You let me cry all over you at VidSummit last year. So sorry but I wanted to say thanks. I started a law firm supporting creators and I’m leaving Hollywood behind to protect creators. Thank you for supporting creators all these years! ❤❤
Yes I remember. You’re going to rock, and I’m so glad you’re here for the journey!
Twenty years ago, I did pretty much the same thing. I was an employee but knew I was destined to steer my own journey. In those years, I've helped numerous small businesses grow their business. Now I find myself again building a new business, and it's you, Nate, helping me build mine this time. I'll stick with P24 and follow the program. I'll stick with CM because they will still bring great content. Nate, I will follow you blindly because I know your heart is good, and your insight on YT is worth its weight in gold!
I know starting your own journey can be financially challenging. So I'll gladly make a monthly donation to help keep the wheels going there at Nate HQ. 🙂
Ps. It's good you've cleared the air, and now both CM and yourself can get on with the day job.
Pss. Unless someone has you nailed down, you own 'Howdy Howdy' and 'Booping the Like'...rock on!
Oh my gosh, thank you for sharing a bit of your story and offering to help. That's above and beyond. I'll definitely be keeping you and the channel in the loop here if a need comes up. Dang. Your comment made my day
Sending love and looking forward to the unboxing video of your 100k subs!!
You'll be your own success case study 💪💪
Excited to see what you do with the channel, I found channel makers SO helpful and I think you’ve handled the transition with a ton of grace and like a true pro
So glad to hear that you’re not done and are going to continue to create your own videos!
Looking forward to what comes next!
Thank you Nate, I could not subscribe fast enough.... It was daunting to not know if you would reach out on this platform for the current moment, thank you for sharing this. Thank you for sharing your experience over the years. You make the world a better place. Take care of yourself. (Love the 'in the meantime' banner!) Sending you positive energy!!
welcome! glad you liked the banner; I definitely threw it together this morning
@@ThatNateBlack Its fantastic!
Omg this is the biggest relief! I thought you were leaving YT for good and I’m so glad you’re here creating something that’s yours! I’m sure you’ll grow and this community will be even stronger because we want the best for you!
Was literally typing this exact comment... was so sad to be losing Nate on Channel Makers, but turns out we didn't lose him at all, we get him in a whole new format! I'm here for it. 😊
I thought he was too! I was about to be disappointed. He’s a very likeable, kind guy
YESSS ME TOO!! Such the biggest relief! I was mourning the loss of never seeing Nate again on YT, only to find he's only morphed in form to here. What a delight! I shall enjoy whatever you're creating, Nate, as knowing you, it's gonna be epic!
Two words…thank God! This video makes me so happy. I love that you are back. I love that you are doing well. And, I love that you are enough. I hope to see you again at VidSummit this year. It was great to meet you last September, and I’m excited for your future. God bless you Nate! 🤗🙏🏽
I didn’t realize for a long time that channel makers was part of Jim and Ricky’s deal. The passion you demonstrated was way more than that of an employee. You’ll kill it! I’m looking forward to the revision of howdy, howdy! Already subbed. All the best!
Well said!
SO glad you posted this! When we saw your goodbye video we were so sad, mostly because we weren't sure how to keep up and keep in touch with you! So needless to say, we're stoked to see this video and to learn that you have something new in the works.
Just want to encourage you and say we're excited for you. Your enthusiasm and care for your audience has always been obvious-and that's why we, your audience, have grown to love you too! Excited to be early subscribers to your new channel. And if we can help in any small way with anything you have in the works, don't at all hesitate to let us know. We'll be here for the ride!!
Hey! Welcome! Good to see you guys here! Thank you for your words of encouragement
*Excited for what may be coming! Subscribed and booped the like button* 👍
“Boop the like button” was Channel Makers. That may be going the way of “howdy, howdy”. Still like tho.
Nate, THANK YOU from hundreds of thousands of creators that you have helped. We truly appreciate the time, effort, dedication and your honesty. While I’m sure we all wish Channel Makers to keep going and thrive, it’s very hard for many of us to not have you there since in a way a “bond or trust” was built over time with you. It’s like Rob leaving VidIQ or Sean leaving ThinkMedia… it just wouldn’t be the same. Nevertheless, wishing you and Channel Makers continued success.
You are right! I cannot imagine those channels without those faces representing the brand we see them behind so many years.
Thank you!!
I'm absolutely wishing Channel Makers continued success also!
Nate, your video just popped up in my feed, I didn't know you created a new channel. I can't be happier to see you.
"Howdy-Howdy"s and "boop the like button" are your signature phrases no matter the name of the channel and we will always associate them with you.
Your energy and enthusiasm are simply not replicable, you've always been the heart and soul of Channel Markers and it was high time for you to officially become what you've always been- a Big Boss.
Love your work. Love that you are excited and on your awesome journey. Thanks for including us in some of the details and decisions along the way. Keep on keepin on!! Thank you for your content!
Hey Nate! Was really glad to see "Nate Black" channel show up on my RUclips home page today. I lit right up! :) Having watched every single one of your Channel Makers long and short form videos since I discovered you, I'm very much looking forward to what you'll be doing here now also! You're one of the best creators in this space IMHO, so your new channel should likely grow rapidly both from that and from your knowledge in the space. Also looking forward to seeing what the owners of Channel Makers will be producing now as well, and will stay subscribed there too. Congrats for the courage to make what must have been a difficult decision, but knowing in your heart what you wanted to do and going for it! Best wishes for your new success!
It was a shocker but also a good reminder that, as viewers, we never will know what's truly going on behind the scenes... so don't assume anything. Glad you're starting your own thing. You're gonna crush it! 👑 Thanks for all your tips
More than happy to give them a chance and follow your new journey simultaneously. Love this for you. Get it!
yes! thank you for being willing to do so
@@ThatNateBlack Of course! You've provided so much value to me, and I love the projects they talked about, too. Don't see why it has to be one or the other. I'm so excited for you!!!
Thank you for showing the set up. When I started my channel, I was using a selfie stick, stuck down in a wine bottle to hold my iPhone up to record the videos not joking. It was as bare-bones as you could get. I look forward to being a part of your future as a viewer and a subscriber. I’ve already learned a lot, so I’m pretty excited.
As a fellow youtube coach. Love that you are doing your own thing now 🫶
do you coach in English too?
You don't know how sad I was when you left the channel, and I thought I was never going to see Nate again. I really love your personality and the way you share information, and the help I am getting from you to grow my channel is tremendous. It's really nice to see you back :) 🎉
You are the living, breathing personification of how RUclips success is so tied to the person, their story and their personality to deliver a meaningful slice of information, entertainment, whatever it takes to make us want to watch a youtube video. I've learnt so much from watching you, and look forward to much more. Cheers!
So so glad you posted this! I can’t tell you what a big impact you’ve had on me. Nate, you are a big reason that I hit 1000 subscribers recently after 8-9 weeks and growing. I just want to say; im subbing and am with you (love channel makers too by the way).❤ I can’t wait to see the amazing content you are going to bring. 🎉🎉
Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see your new channel. I know your videos will be fantastic.. You're an amazing friend and mentor. 😊
So glad you popped up on my Home page. Was worried i wouldn't find your new channel. We support you with your new journey and excited for the great content to come.
I am still shocked by your departure from Channel Makers but I am glad you are starting anew and exploring your own path. You have inspired me to make certain changes quicker in my own channel. You sharing your authentic self is a great thing whether it be your emotion, your mental health, your family life, etc. You did a fabulous job on Channel Makers, I learned a lot from you. I am ready to listen and watch whenever you are ready.
Hi Nate, I thought this first post got lost when my browser froze up. Sorry for the double set of comments here.
I've been following you since you joined P24. I was myself a member there for many years, and you truly made the RUclips path in P24 what it is today. I'm honored to have the privilege to follow you from the start of a new jouney again. TLDR; in before 100k plaque!
Glad to see you back so quickly, Nate. Fascinating how many of us see you as a kind of friend. I do appreciate your special warmth. Me too, I subscribed immediately. So maybe you want to teach us a bit more about cultivating our personality in our videos?
- All the best for your new start!
Yes, it means a lot to hear that from you. Also, great idea for a video type, thank you
@@ThatNateBlack
More than welcome!
Nate, thank you for all your wonderful advice, positive energy and desire to help others succeed at RUclips. I am with you on this journey!
I've been a long-time follower of Channel Makers (and still plan on following), but this is my first time commenting on any of your videos. THANK YOU for all that you've done in breaking-down the nitty-gritty of RUclips in a way that simply no one else does. I'm absolutely stoked to see what projects you come up with next! You've got this, Nate!
Best of luck! Can’t wait to see the new content :)
I joined CM around a year and a half ago, I thought at that point it was your channel and I was hooked. Your energy and persona are contagious. How you come across and explain things make following a video easy. The howdys and boops will be missed on CM, but your loss their might not be enough to keep me subscribed. No matter how good the content, it's the person in front of the camera that captivates the audience.
I'll subscribe here to follow your journey. You've given many creators support and now it's time to return it.
So glad I found this video. At first I was afraid you were leaving RUclips completely. Seeing how excited you are has me even more excited to see what's next! Already subbed and looking forward to that next upload. Best of luck with the transition!
Nate you so likable and authentic. I have enjoyed watching your RUclips journey while on my journey. Best of luck to you in your future success!
Nate your personality, knowledge and professional attitude will take you to new heights. I am excited about your channel as much as you are and I genuinely feel that 1M subs is not very far away.
Since we being honest and transparent, can I just say how happy I am that you're losing the Howdy Howdy! 🎉 Any other greeting will do 😂
Very happy for both you and channel makers and either way will continue to support both. As a newbie, finally starting my RUclips journey this year I've learned so much from you on channel makers and look forward to seeing what they can continue to teach me. And as for you, I look forward to following your new journey, because as a person, I appreciate your authenticity, as there is very few like you out there💛 much respect, from 🇿🇦✌️
Your enthusiasm is contagious!! Enjoy the parade with your family! Looking forward to tagging along, for this new chapter. Thank you for sharing. I did mention on the other video, we (the CM community) were deeply invested in you (YOU,) because you were ALWAYS genuine and invested in us/ our success. So the suddenness felt like the cliffhanger that leaves your stomach on the floor. But this update, is a cliffhanger too, but the good kind. I for one, am excited for you, and excited with you :)
Thank you thank you. I’m glad you’re along!
I am so glad the theories of you making a RUclips channel of your own were correct. 🤩
Thank you for the authenticity and transparency. I hope you keep this as part of your channel.
Here's to new beginnings! 🍻
...you were right :)
Very Excited to see what's next Nate! Big things on the horizon!
Keep the videos coming brother. You already know it’ll take off. Congratulations on the new channel and how fast its growing already 😎
Phew! Oh man, thank you for posting this. I'm so glad to see you excited and ok. A few of your final community posts on CM are starting to make more sense now, haha. Enjoy YOUR new channel, and so excited to be one of the first 100 subscribers! :)
Hope you enjoyed the parade!
It's @Homegrown_Hillary! Glad you're here, and one of the first 100 subscribers no less!
I’m glad you’re taking on your own path, but it’s definitely strange that the team was never part of the CM videos.
I watched your videos since I was at about 6k subscribers on my channel! I've also pointed many new youtubers to your videos so they can start pragmatically approaching building their channels.
Ditto! Well, since I was about 800 subscribers. Great to see you here!
When did you start watching? 2020?
And you are 2.millions wow , you can still promote him here thank you 🙏
That's a fantastic way to help people get started.
whaaat?! that's awesome, thank you!
I had no idea that was not your channel ❤ Nate I’m here to grow with you ❤ looking forward to your 100 k plaque ❤
Nate, You have always connected with the viewer…I was one who never commented (but I did “smash” the like button) yet you connected with me. I have subscribed and am also excited about where you are going and have joined for the journey. May God richly bless you with abundance that adds no sorrow!
To be continued…

Nate! I am so excited to see you launching into this new adventure! Ive been following you for about 2 years now. You have been my number one source of youtube inspiration and information. So glad you are still in the game!
I'm so glad you have your own channel now! And I'll buy whatever you're selling in a heartbeat!!
I'm glad all that work at CM was really YOU behind it. Really appreciate you took the time to clarify everything we all had on our minds. Really provides closure so we can end our self-doubts and sleepless nights!
Creative differences always happen, even for me as a bassist and music producer. It's only a natural progression. I'm actually really and honestly glad you've not given up on RUclips and that you're not done with creation! You're probably one of the best teachers on the subject on RUclips. I was worried that that last video on CM and IS would be the last we'll ever see of you! That would've been absolutely devastating!
I totally understand wanting creative ownership, in anything that you've put so much effort into. I really, really love that you're doing your own thing now cos you so deserve your own audience and followers.
It's so understandable to delegate tasks so you can maximise efficiency and instead, focus entirely on research and content planning, which is what matters most. I appreciate your strength and skills in research and finding solutions for us mere RUclips mortals when we need it most.
I also think you're brave and fearless to do what you did/have to do and to act quickly when guts tells you to. Everybody moves at their own pace. I'm just as impatient and needs things to move quickly too. I only wished I knew you were leaving so I could stay up past midnight and join one of the P24 Masterminds and just be there for your last session. But that's ok! You're here!
I'm with P24 for blogging but it was you, your voice, your on-camera charisma, your genuine personality and contagious enthusiasm that brought me to P24 in the first place. And like I've mentioned at the P24 forum, which you've responded to, I still and whole heartedly respect and support your decision. I'm very excited for you and I'm watching this space very closely!
And please don't ever change!
P.S. Also I wanna mention that I love that you're 'back to square one', still in the midst of setting things up and everything is still work-in-progress. It's like having Nate back again, only this time, we're really with you on your journey from the beginning.
Kinda interesting how he is telling everyone that he did all the work while the team at channel makers is saying something entirely different.
Well done Nate, taking the leap of faith. It might be painful in the short term, but with your capabilities, you will be thriving and having a huge channel of your own in no time. It's not easy to be a dad and run a youtube channel, ask me how I know. I have no doubt people will be following you, not because you are the face of channel makers, but instead they'll be following your creativity and wealth of knowledge. All the best to your new channel. You have my support.
Really excited for you Nate. Wishing you every success. I will be following your new ventures and showing support where I can.
I loved the "howdy howdy" greeting, maybe that doesn't need to go? :)
It’s Anna! So glad you’re here, Thank you 🙏
And I think I might keep the howdy 🤠
@@ThatNateBlack I'm secretly one of your biggest fans so of course I am here. :D
so happy to see you back Nate. I always loved the way you present stuff. I am excited to with you on this journey and see where you go now and what is coming up. Change is a good thing and new opportunities come. Best of luck and keep Howdy-howdy, because it's YOU😊😊😊😊
Thank God... never thought I'd care so much about a "RUclipsr" but your farewell and then all these people coming out of the woodwork on the channel made me extremely suspicious and fairly hurt. I could, and CAN feel your genuine nature coming through your videos so it didn't strike me as a betrayal in that way, I had a feeling it was you behind everything all along... but Channel Makers really messed up with taking a massive backseat and profiting off your hard work as an employee for so long and not doing even a video every once in awhile with you sitting down with other team members as a "special" kind of episode... anticipating something like this happening... I'm your 32nd subscriber and I can't tell you how excited I am to follow you so early in your new journey and watch you rocket off after everything you've helped me with on my husband's RUclips channel (Bambara Boxing). When we first started we were both scared, but I found you, and trusted you, and Anthony gradually came to ask me "Well what does Nate think about that?" and we'd turn to you. So thank you. I can't wait to see what's next for you brother! Whatever it is, RUclips advice or NOT, I'm here for it!
oh my gosh thank you. It's humbling to hear that from you. as far as the CM team, showcasing additional team members was a priority, we just hadn't done it yet when I left
I really think I have something amazing I'm working on, and am so glad you're here for the journey (as my 32nd sub no less!)
@@ThatNateBlack Also, I will re-sub to Channel Makers... I got a little emotional... but your advocating for them is moving, so on your word, I will give them an honest chance.
Congratulations to starting a new journey! Most channels that give RUclips advice are frankly quite horrible, and rarely gives advice that applies to what I do so finding you at channel makers was a relief 😊. And you never gave me the impression that you were doing it all on your own.
BUT im a bit surprised that you weren't part of the decision making and running of the company, as you clearly would be an asset! I'm very excited about your new channel and looking forward to new interesting content. Best of luck!
I'm so happy to see you evolve and going for something you wanted. You are someone who helps me a lot in my journey, so I'm really looking forward to your next video. Wish you luck 🥰
Wishing you every success, Nate. Everyone deserves to have something that is truly their own; even more so when they're putting in the hard work. I was lucky to stumble across Channel Makers, and it was YOU that hooked me: you present yourself and the content so clearly, and you keep my attention. It's always been evident that you cared about helping the audience. I can't wait to see what you have planned, and I'm so happy to see how much support you have here in the comments.
I wish you all the best, Nate, even though I have no idea who you are; I've never seen you before today, and I don't know anything about Channel Makers.
I discovered Channel Makers just a week or so ago and immediately subscribed after watching one video. Your character and integrity are clear and that's the kind of person I want to learn from. Subscribed here and excited to see what you do!
5 years ago I left a job I adored because for one reason and another it wasn’t working for me any more so I have a lot of respect for this. Thank you for explaining further, things make more sense now. You seem much more relaxed in this delivery I’m happy for you.
I never really commented on your videos on cm but I never missed an upload. I enjoyed your delivery more than the content (after 5 years of watching this type of content I had given up on most of the other channels). I’d always click to watch straight away. The parasocial relationship is interesting!
Anyway I know you’ll rock this new channel and grow even bigger. I look forward to seeing what your next moves are.
Good for you, Nate 😊
oh my gosh. Thank you! With the whirlwind of change going on in my life right now, your comment actually brought a tear to my eye. Thank you
❤
Yo!! I love Jim, Ricky, Anna and everyone at income school, but I find you the most relatable. You've truly played a massive role in my RUclips journey and I'm very happy to see this heightened authenticity you're bringing to the table in your own channel. Way to take it to the next level!
NATE…..I’m 100% on board with your new journey brother. My channel is finally rocking and I owe much of its progress to the knowledge I gained from you. Buckets of gratitude good sir. Super excited for your new business. SUBSCRIBED.
Thanks for sharing this Nate! I'm happy you've launched your own channel. I'm excited for what's to come!
Big love to you Nate! As someone that was solo for a good 10 years, it's doable!!
Surprised to see you here! As fellow car (and gaming) enthusiasts, we love your work! I guess there's always something to learn from others, even after your 10+ years making a channel as successful as yours. We've got a long way to go but I do believe perseverance is the key to many successes. Thanks for adding to our inspiration!
@@sportzntouring I was also thinking the same thing!! I guess great channels also watch other great channels
Solo can be harder in some ways and easier in some ways. YOU call the shots on everything! 😀
I'm so happy to hear it's doable as I'm a young RUclipsr doing it all on my own.
I’m just glad you’re still here on RUclips! Congrats on entering this next stage in your journey! 💪🏽🎉🎉
Also, you gotta keep the “howdy howdy” greeting! It’s too iconic lol
I’m so glad to see you back! I’ll be honest I was shocked that Channel Makers wasn’t your own personal channel. I’m glad you have your own space now and you fully deserve to have your own ad revenue direct as I didn’t subscribe to Channel Makers for other people it was you directly. You’ve helped to inspire me 😊 I hope you will continue to provide similar style videos but whatever you do you will be amazing! 🎉
While I won’t unsubscribe from channel makers the channel with you felt like a unique niche as it was one person (so I thought) there’s already a large channel ThinkMedia that fills the gap of RUclips advice from a large brand/company with multiple presenters etc. I wish them well but I’ll keep getting my advice from you 😊
I just found you and am so happy - your authenticity is refreshing and I appreciate the vulnerability.
You're going to do great! Will stick around to see what comes next! :)
I am just here for Nate and his personality. I am excited to see what he does next and where this new journey takes him ❤
I appreciate your passion, dedication, and desire for ownership over the good you pour into the world. We’re here with you friend. You’re a good man. And as much as I can say this without sounding like a creeper, the deep teal shirts are your best color. 😊 Looking forward to your unleashed passioned and looking forward to helping you build this channel. Let us know what you need from us. Blessing to your family and happy 4th my friend.

Wow, thank you Chrystal and Reeve. That means a lot. At this point I think the best thing to help would be to stay in the loop. I've got things in the works, and you'll be able to hear about them :)
Also, totally not creeper sounding, actually good feedback!
Excited for you and look forward to the future content ❤
Hey Nate your content is so helpful! Glad you are branching out to build your own brand. Well deserved!
Thanks, Nate. Great to hear from you in the wake of all this and gain some clarity. Thank for all you have done to help me and other creators! I will be following your next journey. All the best to you! 🙏🏼
So glad to help!
Hi Nate, I just realized Channel Makers wasn't your personal channel. Even the tiny blue room you filmed in had that spare room with a backlight vibe we all have filming from home. Only when I joined Project 24 did I see all these other people involved, and I thought, "Who are these guys?" From a business perspective, it makes total sense what you are doing. At least in my opinion, You have started to achieve what all RUclipsrs yearn to achieve, where people start showing up to the channel for you, not just the information you share. When that starts to happen, it doesn't make a lot of sense for someone else to reap the rewards for that. I wish you the best of luck. I still feel like much of the success iv had on RUclips in the last six months was down to your contributions to Project 24, so thank you for that. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to next.
I think that if there’s the perception ‘to be big on RUclips you need a team’ many have not seen results from the content you produced. I can say that from your content, I have never understood RUclips more than now. And that I’ve 100% seen a benefit with the content I’ve created. So I thank you Nate ❤️
Stoked for your new channel. Thank you for all of your hard work and guidance.
Congrats on your new channel you are very humble and honest looking forward to this new channel! All the best from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada!
This means so much to me. Thank you for addressing those concerns Nate. I'm glad you're sticking around :) I hope you all enjoyed yhe parade!
I love how you speak you’ve helped me very much
Absolutely, 100%, gotta look after #1 ! It’s always difficult moving on from a job you love and have dedicated so much of your life to, without needing to go through all of the turmoil, emotions and transition in public! Sounds like the right decision for you and the CM team in the long term and I wish you both well. You’ve helped me massively getting my small channel off the ground, and I wish you and your family all the best! Take care, Chaz 👍🏻
I appreciate your candor and your understanding of your needs. I wish both channels well. I am now subscribed to two wonderful channels and expect to keep learning! I am excited to see what you will bring on this channel.
Good on you for setting off on your own journey! Really looking forward to what you have in for us. Hurrah!
As long as your exit was smooth and your relationship with Ricky and the team is intact. Then I’m happy for you. They provided you with an amazing opportunity and you did yourself and them proud. Good luck for the future. I wonder who’s going to take over Their channel.
Hi Nate, I've followed CM since I started my own channel from the beginning of last year. You've been so helpful in giving useful advices and I really like your teaching style. I'm so glad that I can find you from your new channel from the comments. I wish that they could have introduced your new channel there as an acknowledgement. The way you said bye there really show how respectful you are and how graceful you are.
As a content creator, I could imagine what a complex feeling that you must have had with all the decision making. Not easy at all. We will continue to support you with your new adventures. And yes, I count your dear wife and children as part of your team because their support for you motivate what you have been doing. Keep up your good work!
*P.S. Howdy-howdy really represents you, so if you use that, I believe that the majority of us connect this greeting to you directly. It's a Nate thing. Either way, all the best with your new journey!
Thank you. I'm sure there are things I could have done better as a I left CM also, but I'm sure they're doing to rock it
Nate, I think it’s safe to say that we have not been as excited (for you) as this for a long time either! You’ve got this, here’s to starting over with your legion of followers because truth is, people follow good people. We got you! ❤
Thanks so much!!
You are the one who helped get me started in doing videos! Still working on getting my first twenty! You are amazing at getting your information out, very knowledgeable and will soon have just as many or more subscribers as you drove to the other channel.
I’m SO glad you ended up in my suggestions!
You seem like an awesome person and I’m glad to hear your perspective and watch your new channel!!
Glad to be a part of your new team. Or should I say continue being a part of it? 😘

Hello, Melissa, so great to have met you! I was wondering if Nate had a wife and family. Now I know! Very happy. It's like knowing about Rob Wilson''s wife and Nick Nimmin's brother. Nate becomes more real. ♥♥♥
