Loreto Yellows on paddleboard

That pompano/palometa is a lot better eating than a yellow.. that footage was nuts!

 

Insane. tops your last YT vid. thanks for posting!

 

Unreal! I would be in the drink for sure!

 

Felt like I needed to put on a back brace just watching!

 

Great video Bass Kid.. Love the sound of that drag rippin, cool stuff man. I’ve never subscribed to anything, but I’m about to change my ways and follow your adventures. Keep up the good work. ( If you can call it work ). Livin the dream is what I’d call it..

 

Great vid and story! Love Loreto can’t wait to go back in April. Cheers man!

 

Yup that’s how it goes. I’m in a similar situation with my channel. A slow grind for now that will hopefully pay dividends in the future. Plus you’re doing what you enjoy. Cheers to you and best wishes on the future of your vids!

 

I’m pretty naive when it comes to all this stuff. But I’m kinda curious.. How long will You Tube continue to pay the $75 per month, once you’ve reached 1000 subscribers ? I haven’t done the math, but you’d need quite a few subscribers to make a living doing this sort of thing.

 

That is totally true that you need a LOT of subscribers. I believe he was saying 75 cents per month actually. The amount of subscribers goes up the more you get because you get into their algorithm. It also depends on a lot of other factors too. I’m just doing it for fun and don’t really have expectations of 10 million subscribers but you never know. You get one video that goes viral and then who knows. It’s cheaper than the lottery though. Plus it’s like a photo album in the old days except that everyone can enjoy it.

 

Thanks Pourboy.. interesting stuff.. I noticed that his $75 had a decimal in front of it, but I thought that had to be a typo. $.75 and $75. Are definitely two different things. Lol. I still wonder how long YT is willing to pay once you’ve reached a certain amount of subscribers. Does it go on indefinitely, or do they quit paying if they see there isn’t enough activity going on.

 

It has to be a minimum of 1000 subscribers or 4000 watch hours. That is where someone can begin monetizing their channel. You can choose the type of advertising that is on your channel (commercials, large banners, small banners, etc.) it’s basically how many ads get shown to how many people that directly effects how much one makes. As they see that your videos are becoming more and more popular that will organically recommend your stuff to people. There’s tons of great material out there that no one sees because it was not recommended by YT. It is basically it’s own industry now and anyone can do it. It just takes a lot of work and patience and proper labeling and marketing.

 

Seventy five cents per thousand views.. a few million views, and you can make a bit of cash. If you drop off, then you aren't getting paid. Pretty simple, pretty ruthless. The algorithm is a mindless beast. I know what content of mine the damn thing promotes, and what it kills. I don't care, I want to drop what I want to drop (content wise), I just have to be content never making a single dollar...

 

Exactly.

 

Do what you love, love what you do. As long as we are not hurting anyone else. Cheers to you and doing what your passion is. Keep up the good work.

 

So sick man!

 

Dude, you will make some money. Just keep it up and be yourself. My wife and I really enjoy making YT videos, we just did it for fun and eventually one video got a lot of traction and got like 50,000 views. That got us over 1000 subscribers and we were able to start putting adds. Now we get about 1,000 views per video, which isn't much but with all the old videos that we made it adds up. we don't make any real money but with what we made we were able to put on a contest for local fishermen and do some other things. The other thing that's awesome about making the videos is the comments. Sometimes you get some real ***holes but most of the time you get to hear from some awesome people. I have also got some amazing advice from people.
