It depends, how creative are your curses?
Not creative enough. If I had really good ones, the bolts would come off faster!
Wow, I just popped into this sub-forum to look for a good thread to drop a picture of a Minion shaped fire pit and saw this. Scrolled through some comments but haven't read everything. I did see Keith's progression from zero monetization to $700 on th FM channel.
I wanted to make YouTube at least a part time job, or a way to fuel my car hobby. I think I joined YouTube around 2008 if that's possible. Was a little more consistent in posting earlier on. I got monetized when the requirements were lower. Never made enough to cash out the $100 threshold. I survived one of the tightening of requirements and and was actually starting to try to get videos out on a schedule. Even tried making a "5 things I hate about my bus" type video as they were popular at the time. I was kinda happy I'd pull between 25 to 30 cents a month, yeah pennies but it was actually motivating me. Then just as I was finishing editing a video I get an email from YouTube with the latest monetization requirements. That just berkeleying destroyed my motivation. I haven't put up many videos since. And that was like 2017 or 2018 ???
I think a lot about trying to jump back in but the big jump I need to make is hard to imagine happening. Being an early channel I did get spared some things, like a year or so ago when they decided everyone could have a short link with either they're channel name (if not taken) or something of there choosing. I already had that because I been in so long... BTW https://www.youtube.com/42green
Another thing that killed my motivation was desperate Facebook pleas to "friends" like hey it would be super if you all subscribed, maybe watched a video occasionally, etc. Nothing. I even had tried making a playlist with what I thought was my best "content"
72 Subscribers.
