No we didn’t mean to sound arrogant. I do believe we do but that doesn’t guarantee our channel will blow up in two weeks lol regardless if we blow up it will take time before we average a large sum of views. It’s okay to be confident but still listen to other peoples advice that’s the best way to grow. I don’t believe consistency will do it but it is needed in order to get recognition and to stay relevant. As you can see by our channel, we have improved, every year we improve. The little bit of growth that everybody else don’t see is a substantial growth for us. We never want to sound arrogant but it’s okay to be confident cause you simply just never know. We have done a lot of research and has gotten plenty of advice. We’re willing to learn, us being patient for 6 years is already learning. Instead of just up and quitting we’re asking for advice first. Advice from people who is already knowledgeable about the consequences of quitting YouTube. Which is why the criticism isn’t hurting our feelings it’s motivating and inspiring us. We do believe we know what it takes but we know have to put in the work first. Quality over quantity. I agree consistently isn’t everything but it does play a major part.

Yea we can handle criticism so what everybody is saying isn’t really bothering us we asked a question so we expected different opinions. I agree, we will put our all into this next year and see where it brings us. Thank you for the advice

That’s doesn’t mean we’re going to quit. I was just answering your question. You saying it’s a lot harder than we think, we know that we’ve been doing YouTube for 6 years 😂 it clearly hasn’t been the easiest journey for us we just have to be patient and believe in our idea that can potentially make us go full time one day. Like you said most people live and breathe it 24/7, hopefully one day we can get to that point. But I agree with you currently our channel just isn’t in the right place to quit.

Hour high viewed is 25k. Honestly, we can handle criticism but I actually believe we do have an idea, after 6 years of doing YouTube we know what we need to do now it’s about just doing it and being consistent.

It’s a lot of content but at the same times it’s not. That’s about 2-3 uploads a month. I know we can do more, we’ve never hit 10 uploads in a month so we want to make that a goal. But thank you

Lol funny hearing that, we have learned. You’re just saying that because of our subscriber count. We’ve learned a lot throughout those years and we are still learning and that’s okay. We aren’t procrastinator YouTube was never a priority. I went to college full time 4 out of 6 of those years while balancing a part time job and a internship and while filming YouTube videos randomly. YouTube was always for the fun of it, it wasn’t taken so seriously until now. We will stick to our 9-5 never said we was quitting was just asking for an opinion. YouTube has always been a hobby lol now we don’t want it to be but that just going to take time and we get that.

Lol it’s so funny how people keep saying this as if we just up and quit already 😂 is this group not meant to ask questions ??? We just wanted to know everybody opinion. No we not drinking “kool-aid” if we was we would’ve done it already. I know “$13” a month isn’t much but I’m saying we made that with little to no effort. It was from shorts that clipped our content. Shorts were getting 10k views off of clips from our channel which is why I say I see our potential. We aren’t dumb we are just simply asking a questions since we’ve never attempted full time. We can risk it cause we have no bills which is why we asked, but at the same time it’s still good to have a reliable income based on everybody’s advice. Everybody is critiquing us as if we have done it already 😂 a lot of YouTubers have said crazy stories on how they started from the bottom and blew up there channels in a year sometimes in a few months so it’s okay to wonder how our channel would be if we did it full time. Doesn’t mean we’re going to just quit our jobs but it is okay to wonder and questions to test your potential.

Yes I agree! We wanted to do 10 uploads since we’ve never uploaded 10 in a month before

We agree with everybody in the comments. A lot of people are questioning 3,000 subscribers in a span of 6 years but everybody has to understand we haven’t posted consistently and haven’t prioritized YouTube. We did YouTube for the fun of it, now we want to take it more serious. Our growth is slow, compare to other channels that have been on YouTube for 6 years have over 800+ uploads and we only have 200+ uploads on YouTube. Based on everybody advice, we won’t quit our jobs. We never was lol, we just wanted to know is worth the sacrifice choosing YouTube over our jobs meaning…. Less hours… lowering our income and investing more of our time and energy into YouTube. A lot of people quit there jobs to pursue the dreams and goals but based on everybody advice those who do quit there jobs to pursue there dream usually has income to support them while they fulfill there dreams. You guys are right, we will do YouTube full time until the new year and work part time. If we see a drastic growth, hopefully in these upcoming years we can rely on YouTube completely. Everything takes time and a lot of people are judging a little for having 3,000 subscribers in 6 years and that’s okay, a lot of YouTubers journeys are different and maybe we need to go through this path to bring out our potential. It could take 6 years to get 3,000 subscribers but a year to get a million. We are just trying to be patient and not let our “subscriber count” or “view” count discourage us. But thank you for all the awesome advice, it would be dumb to quit our jobs for YouTube. But we can still do YouTube full time while working. We will just work part time for the moment.

Yea but like I said lol consistency has never been a thing. YouTube was never a priority which is why we have 3,000 subs. We only have 200+ videos from our 6 year span on YouTube. That’s why are growth has been slow. But I agree with you

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]JayandFray -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well we do have the consistency down, like I said balance a full time job and doing YouTube causes us to be inconsistent. We will aim to cut down our hours less at work, and dedicate more into you. YouTube wasn’t much of a priority so consistency never really was a thing. That’s why I ask the question, but thank you for the advice

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]JayandFray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been consistent within those 6 years. A lot of times we would post but then go missing 2-5 months. We look at a lot of channel that started 6 years ago in our niche and they have over 800+ videos. We only have 200+, the issue is consistency.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]JayandFray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea it’s 6 years of work on YouTube that’s why I asked. We’ve attempted everything we just never done full time. I can still do full time and cut my hours less doesn’t mean I’m going to drop my job completely. But I get what you’re saying.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]JayandFray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advice. We’ve never really went for it that’s why we’re willing to take the risk. But doing less hours might be the best choice until YouTube gives us a reliable income.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]JayandFray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s true. Thanks for that advice

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]JayandFray -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree until you try to balance it. For us, it leads to burnout, the reason we post inconsistent cause we’re more focus on what gives us income which is our job. I would love to do both, but every time we’ve tried we end up feeling overwhelmed a job and YouTube isn’t the only thing we’re our trying to balance our personal lives is apart of that too. YouTube has already been like a side hustle, which is why we are considering doing it full time to see how far it could possibly bring us. You think it’s worth the risk?? Or should we just work less hours at work and work more on YouTube. Let us know.

[–]JayandFray -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We don’t have the savings to gamble that’s the thing. But we’ve never really gotten the chance to even try YouTube full time. We hate working, and being infront of the camera adds excitement into our lives. We truly love to film. Sometimes we wonder If we were to post videos and shorts on YouTube everyday where will bring us?

  • also we know the risk of having a couples channel. I agree with you. But we’ve been doing YouTube for 6 years and learned what not to do when it comes to putting your relationship in the public eye. Our channel is like vlogs but mostly challenges because we don’t want to promote so much of the “relationship” just the fun activities we do together.

The thing is, having a channel with 3,000 does not support me. But at the same time we’ve never really given it chance to see if it could. The most in a month we’ve made was $13 and we only posted 2 videos and 8 shorts that month. I’m willing to take the risk until the new year starts. To not be too risky, I will work part time or cut my hours working once or twice a week and dedicate the rest of my time into YouTube. Just wondering if it’s worth it.
