How Much Money Does YouTube Pay Us? 💰 | Video Podcast Ep376

Liz & Jamie, I did it! I just signed up as an FTB Mate, I've been thinking about this since I watched Jamie's talk to the Royal Photography Society--I just have to support people who share the "Life Lessons" they have learned as they travel the world and experience new cultures. I appreciate your approach to travel and how you tell a story (and without advertisements as a bonus!). I challenge all of your viewers to join me in providing you with a little financial support. Cheers to you both!

You two have the most genuine, authentic, and honest sailing channel on this platform. I do come and go as a viewer and every time I do watch I am inspired by what y'all do. Your humor (despite being British - haha) is a welcome relief from the chaos elsewhere in the world. Thank you for continuing to share your journey!

I love this episode. Your new docu style video of the anchorage with voice over was beautiful. Liz, I really enjoyed your poetic voice over. The shell photography was stunning, and Jamie, your photos are brilliant. Thank you

The fact is that yours is the only, “sailing channel” I still watch. What you do to my mind is the most unique that I know of. With the amount of adds that, youtube play during your vids I know they are making revenue from your content.

Still one of the greatest sailing channels out there. So, honest and genuine, amazing informative. The shell pics were stunning. 👏🏻

Isn’t it odd that the moment you start talking about YouTube the algorithm cuts you out. 24hrs have passed and at the time of writing this there are only 5 views! And no comments! Jamie & Liz please know that your episodes are ALWAYS brilliantly put together and produced ( this one is an example of that in part 2) Thank you from a long time viewer You’re appreciated Blessings Nick

Liz your voiceovers are wonderful...relaxing, beautifully written and eloquently read. I love the documentary style, I am here to learn and see places, not tanned bods. PS: As a lifetime traveller to Bali, can I say that 99% of this island is not touristy and offers extraordinarily amazing travel experiences. Just saying, after your last video! 😊

I really liked this episode where you showed the ancorage at Lombok. The filming and the still pictures together with voiceover is great. Many "younger and bigger" channels just talks too much all the time. Maybe it´s because i´m getting older as well 😁

Love the middle section with the scientific specimens and Liz’ voice over. So soothing. Good music selection too.

The best feature of your channel is your photography, especially Jamie’s street photography, photos of the local people you encounter. Great respect for your artistic skill.

I loved the section with the mix of video, stills, and voice overs.

Love your channel. You don't need to compete with the other channels. This recent type of vlogging is nice, bringing in a more artistic style.

I am still getting notifications of your videos, but I have been so busy lately that I am behind on all YouTube stuff. One of the things I have always liked about you guys is that you don't try to sell us Japanese knives, VPNs, or vitamin drinks. I really do appreciate what you guys do and enjoy watching you. Thank you.

Spot on wrt the algorithm. I am a subscriber, and this is the first time this year you showed up on my feed. My feed is dominated by these large youtube-shorts panels. That’s where it looks like they are driving traffic. I would love to get a main feed with just my subs and no shorts or “recommendations” on it.

I would have never guess that you were British lol I enjoy the channel because you two are genuine with your content that you provide, i.e. NO BS, No fake or put on type of content to get people to watch. I love Jamie's stills, like your story and history of the places you are sailing to. To me it is just Real.

Annecdotal, but while I subscribed to your channel several months ago, for some reason it's been feeding me a steady stream of "Follow the Boat" recommendations like crazy this week. Here's hoping you've cracked whatever algorithm issues that caused your recent dip!

I have watched you too for years, and if you have not, I highly recommend you read the book or listen to the audio version of the YouTube formula. It explains a lot and your trouble is you have a low count and it may be of some aid to you

I used to follow your channel as a subscriber but some time ago i didn,t see any new videos. Now that i found out that you were still making videos i had to subscribe again because youtube aparently unsubscribed me. On the positive side i have lots of videos to catch up and watch 😊 Love your chanel and the way you present your way of life. Fair winds ⛵

Hi Liz & Jamie. Thank you for your insights. On this late crowded sailing channels youtube, you guys remain on our (myself and my wife) short list of whatching for what I believe is your genuine style and fairness. Indeed some weeks if not months the greedy youtube did not notify us of any updates from your channel or even other channels. Something is very wrong with youtube and google generally. I look forward for other variants to leave youtube behind. Best of Luck and Good Health! 👏👏

Much needed reality check for serious viewers putting into perspective our YouTube experience. Interestingly I tended to float between channels looking for pertinent subjects related to our cruising needs and planning. I was particularly interested in your plans to visit Japan as it remains an intended destination but I also now see the advantage of just viewing the sea shells and the beauty surrounding our chosen path. You both do that so well! Thank you for sharing your hobby with our community and setting a standard for others to follow!
