I'm a creator too. I'm small on YouTube (3,880 subs; 6.4k views and about 293 hours watched in the last 28 days), but have a (relatively speaking) large Discord with 3,800 members. I have a mailing list of about 1,600. My goal and focus is to sell, but it's to sell a big package around the idea of IT education. I want to sell to people who want the interaction and community, not just the knowledge dump. And I'm the same. I won't do the over-the-top, hyped up character who uses the latest trends to grab your attention, like some sort of hollowed out clown that has no real joy in the middle. Instead, I just focus on writing my online courses, mentoring people, and building a community. If you're interested in the same thing, and I can help, reach out :-)

Hey 3880 subs is pretty good. I'm still on 241. haha. It actually takes a lot of effort to get past 1000 subs/5000 watch hours, which is the minimum for monetization.

  The minimum for you to monetize it. Google will gladly sell ads and keep 100% until then. I wouldn’t have built what became a $2000/month revenue website if I didn’t start making $2/month, then more work to get to $20/month, then 200, then 2000 over ~5 years. YouTube is shooting itself in the foot with its monetization cutoffs.

    I agree, I wish they would let me monetize my channel now :(

Wow, nearly 100% of your subs participate in your community? That's amazing.

  that's not necessarily implied, the sets may overlap minimally

  What /u/kyleee said :-) I developed the Discord community via the channel plus other ways.

Reach out? How? Looking up movedx i found a channel with 40 and a channel with 441 subs. Having integrity in 2022 seems pretty cool, but am i missing something...like a link?
