    I love these videos! Congrats ✨️🙌❤️ and yes it's so true about trying out things and seeing what works for you! It's never too late to try out a variety of things (at least to what you are comfortable with), experimenting is always the best thing to do 🙌✨️
  • @LesleyPretkelis
    Thank you for sharing! I've been thinking about starting a YT channel and have been worried about all the editing that will eat up my time. I like that you are makimg videos that are fun for you and not necessarily what's popular because you are still showing that ypu are making money regardless. I have a fb group of nearly 7k followers so I am hopeful that I can be successful talking about that topic without insanely edited videos that have animations in it, etc. I appreciate seeing that you have grown and been able to monitize without the professional editing that others do. Thank you!
  • @SwitchPlayHub

  • @annaspeaks373
    My favourite video is out finally ❤ Your story helps me keep going.
  • I found you because of that side hustle video but stuck around because of your honesty and openness with us. You’re very helpful and motivating and I’m glad I found your channel! Hoping it grows more for you, you deserve it!
  • @OHHLANDUH
    This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing 🥹
  • I love it when you said you never know what video will pop off, so you just have to keep pushing and putting content out there. Next year , I really want to step up my posting schedule and really try to grow my channel. Thank you for sharing this. These videos are always so helpful and inspiring. :)
  • @sarineturhede

  • @JennaHong
    I love these videos 🥳 what an AMAZING first 6 months that is crazy!! It’s soooo hard to remember that the trends of what we make are so out of our control adsense wise, sometimes there’s truly no reason and some months are just higher than others. I’m so happy to see you grow 💕
  • @imjadeemily
    Congrats! You earned that income 👏🏼 proud of you!
  • @Runner2Walker
    I always appreciate channels being open and transparent about how much they make. As someone who is looking to grow my channel this is encouraging. Gained a sub.
