Still plodding away. Do my thing, testing different stuff and building things on the side.

December was a down month, but it always is low. To be expected, but 2023 had some real growth in monthly $$

I'm hoping to launch a business model canvas tool very soon, as soon as I've caught up on my day job being back.
This is as a part of this channel. My discord is over 100 people now. Would like to get that to 1000 by the end of the year really. Will work at that.

See where this channel goes, but I am also restarting my car sorta stuff as I really enjoy it, so will see what i can do with that channel as well. I have some ideas to test anyway.

I am on a role right now with 121 new subs in the last 28 days, and a massive (for me at least) 172k views and 1.2hours watched in the same period of time.

mate that's banging numbers!!
Defo share your progress, I'd love to follow it. I may have more subs, but you do far higher numbers than me in views, which is where the $$ ad rev is anyway. I just rely on people searching for specific video topics and converting them for the most part!

I have a couple of other channels I have actually started working with an editor on, so I dont have to do any of it and can still put something out decent. I have some plans for this year and will see how they pan out and if they're successful on YT or not. More travel and car sort of related.
Whats your new channel about?

Quality man!

Does that all make sense?

yea, and I think it's something are not just interested in, but also would search for, so think you'll have a good chance. likewise, it acts as a tool to help push you to learn more and more so it can't be a bad thing at all!
 
Some updates on my progress and focuses content wise for anyone interested.

I am currently sitting at 3411 subs on my RealTalkBusiness channel. I am looking to try and also use that channel for building products etc. on the channel as well as investing app overviews and my experience with them.
That's the channel that brings in the revenue, really. Through affiliates and such. So it's a good little earner that costs me nothing to do.
Plans for this channel are just keeping putting out a video a week and like I said, try and get some more "what random product am I building" on there as well and see if I can use that to push / market those things, too.

My other "main" channel is one I haven't really done anything with, properly, for ages. Too long. It started just by chance in sharing videos I liked creating with family and then took me into all sorts of random content, before I decided I actually really loved the car side of things.
That channel is on 51,869 subs. It sounds like OMG you have all those subs, but they came from that viral short I had that was nothing to do with the content on my channel, so just because they're there, doesn't mean it converts to actual views. Yet.
I have a plan... sort of, kinda, well...

I have renamed the channel "the RS Garage" for randomshenans garage. I live for the randomshenans and that plays a part in where I want to go and what i want to do.

Looking at "if you could do anything, what would it be?"

And I realised how it would be around both cars and travel. I want to do more with stupid cars and epic road trips. And my I have some plans for those.

As such, it's a year to really lean into what I enjoy and **** the rest. Whatever it leads to, is whatever it leads to! If nothing, I'll have the most fun on adventures.

Loose plans I have right now:

Supercharging my 400EUR Aygo (I have a lot of the parts for this tbf and will be filming more in this series coming up) - This series will finish with an epic roadtrip up to the Netherlands in it.
Taking a sub £1000 Scandinavian car to the artic circle (I've bought the car, collecting it on 3rd Feb) and this is an epic 6500km trip.
I want to buy 3 minis and take them with mates around Italy.
Eventually I want to do some absolute mad roadtrips as well...
I'm going to buy a defender and drive it to the Moroccan mountains for offroading.
I'm going to buy an RX7 from Japan... and drive it back from Japan... :D
I'm going to buy a supercar (even an R8 will suit me, as an entry SC lol) from Dubai and drive it home.
My recent purchase has a tow bar as well, which means all kinds of collecting of degenerate cars is possible!

My main thing is making sure the editing is better. The story telling and the journey for watchers.

I am either going to use an editor for some, or just try and be less **** myself.

Here is my "I'm trying hard to be less ****" intro (unlisted, not monetized, just to get feedback tbf) for my collecting my scandy car video.


I have consumed many YT video and hoping to at least give it a proper stab now. I think I know what I want to do, so let's see where it all goes...

I'm going for it, either way!

I tried to use an editor and was prepared to pay a decent amount per month having someone do the editing for me, but it just wasn't up to the level I wanted. It made me realise that I think it needs to be me that does this, so I'm on a mission now to improve my editing skills, video making, storytelling etc. so I can make this possible myself and bring out exactly what I want.
It would have been a really big investment and not to get what I want back from that means that the best way I can use that investment is on stupid cars and spending my time working and learning.
So that's what i'm going to do.

I spent way longer yesterday working on a video than I normally do, and I'm going to try and do the same for this Aygo video that I'd like to get out this week. Will see how I get on with it tonight and what I can get done.

It's time to level up and take **** to the next level!

:eek:
 
Latest video on my car channel is actually doing OK for me... gained 2 subs and current #1 in views for the time (which is only 85 or something haha) but a nice little push to get things moving.

Got Friday to get some stuff done and put together that video for next monday.
Also have to film and edit the video for this Sunday for the RTB channel as well. Probably also get that done friday night.

T-10 days until my journey to the UK to get my **** box Volvo! :D

I am still surfing North of 200k views in 28days, although this will drop I think soon. On 113 subs in last 28days too. Hoping for 2k subs by Feb 1st, but unsure.
Click to expand...
Yea boi! What's your sub count at now?

I'm still doing okish in subs on RTB at 3425, it's been a gradual growth over time, which is fine. I have had no big peaks with it, so you know. I'll take it. Slow and steady and all that.

RS Garage is a funny one on subs, due to the fact it gained like 75k subs from this short I then deleted. It means I lose subs every month because they realise they are subbed to a car channel lol but at the same time, I am still gaining subs on there each month. At some point it should plateau out (I hope) and eventually start going up again... maybe! I just need my NET gain to outdo my lost subs at the moment lol
 
Holy **** I've also just seen the rickshaw run! This is made for me. That's 100% going on 2025 list

But which country?

HIMALAYAN TONGUE PUNCH FLAVOUR​


ORIGINAL ALL INDIA FLAVOUR​


SRI LANKA SPICE FLAVOUR​


NORTHEAST INDIA – NEW ROUTE​



Hmmm

Rickshaw Run: I reckon the Himalaya route would be superb. Spectacular scenery and mountain passes, plenty of unknowns, and opportunity to engage with out-of-the-way communities. If you break down, there'll be a plentiful supply of yaks to get you from A to B. :D

Yea, I'm torn between that and sri lanka. I think my son would come with me. He'll be 20 then, too. Just need to find one more person, but think I could get that one in next year as it's only a 9 dayer vs. a 60 day stint on the Mongol lol I'm not sure the ex wife would appreciate our 50/50 split of time if I ****** off for 2 months, but I'll need to work that one out :D

For the first time in forever, this started to go slightly up the other side and not constantly down.

And my views may still be pretty small considering, but the video is performing the best I have had one for a long time.

I am taking this as a sign to double down and LFG!

A mate of mine has 42k subs and it's been that number got about 12months. He had a massive surge a few years back due to a video that went viral, but since then he has not had the same success which is a shame.

This is what happened to me. The video was also nothing to do with the channel but hit 95m views, bought loads of subs but the channel wasn't at all related to that video, so was a nightmare really.

MouthBoy said:
Does show though that high sub count is only part of the puzzle.

It really is. The views are really what matters the most. Getting all your subs to come back and watch all your videos is good, too.
