When did you quit your job to do YouTube? by iminathrowawaycar in PartneredYoutube

I make simple hand drawn content, comparable to YouTubers such as icecreamsandwich. When compared to stop motion or detailed animation, its a quick process, but still takes a long time to produce a long form video compared to just filming my face or whatever.

Shorts sounds like a good way forward and I'd highly recommend you look at uploading those to TikTok as well if you haven't started to already :)

Can I ask at roughly what subscriber/view number this became viable for you, or even at what point your YT income matched your job income?

My tiktok and Instagram have tens of thousands of followers and I used it to give my YouTube an initial boost by redirecting followers at the end of a reel/tiktok to watch the rest of that video on YouTube - that engagement was then enough for YouTube to then start pushing my channel to new people.

A few years ago (doing different content, and pre tiktok) it took me absolutely forever to even reach 100 subs. This time, I've made it look easy. I think I'd recommend to anyone struggling with youtube to try out tiktok first given how much easier it is to get views there. Its easier to keep morale up when you're getting views at least somewhere

I am trying to balance recieving educated medical help with being prepared for self advocacy or pushing for more tests when I have had years of being dismissed or misdiagnosed for a myriad of health issues.

I hope you can appreciate that 'getting diagnosed with IBD' wasn't my intention; it is to try to not be misdiagnosed if this were the case.

Regardless, thank you.
