- Hey Everyone,
I hope you are well and doing good!
We are coming up to one full year of doing TH-cam/ Social Media content creation as a full time job so I thought I'd offer up some detail of how I was able to do this.
Love to answer any questions I can in the comments section so fire away!
Thanks everyone and I hope you enjoy it!

When will people realise that people hate being bullied into purchasing something especially a bike. Your decision to leave that is admirable and you are clearly better than that. I always walk away when hard sales is applied and never go back, why don’t companies see that !
Hey Guys and Girls, sorry for the gross lighting! Unfortunately I have no control over the grim, overcast weather conditions of the UK! Hopefully, you can still enjoy it! Thanks :) UNK 🏁
It's been the same further south. Like the endless bleak aftermath of a nuclear war.
Hey, you always brighten up my dreary day 😎
You're bright enough. 🙂Forget the weather. lol
Kate, I have spoken to you several times over the last 2 years about my come back to biking as a 65 year old male who has been absent from motor biking for 10 years due to chronic ill health. Your advice guidance and compassion for me the "person" not the profit, was and is outstanding. You gave me good meaningful advice that I could take away and consider, you never ever spoke to me in a way that was derogatory to the company you worked for, all I can say is a particular dealership have my business not because you pressured me into buying from you but because you respected me, the person buying. I have no doubt you will a success in all that you do, and to me selfishly the bikers world , if ever you start up your own training school for rusty bikers let me know. x
I came beck after several years away from biking,
I ride a sx 1000 kawasaki, absolutely love it is a struggle with several health issues, but well worth the pain and discomfort, by the way 66 shortly,
A quote I remember Barry Sheene saying, " Don't wait for your boat to come in, swim out to meet the bloody thing!"
Keep swimming Kate and thank you for your honest vlog.
There's a lot to be said for seeing a stunning sunset and sunrise.
I just love your down to earth nature and honesty Kate. You've done a great job in your first year, even with health issues and I look forward to what's in store for you in 2023.
Thanks John :)
I started watching you around 3 months ago and absolutely love it, what is truly refreshing is your honesty and work ethic something that is rare too see these days. i too work in a sales and agree that making friends and giving the best advice is the way forward, as soon as i have a financial cushion my toes will be venturing into moto vlogging. My 15yo daughter watches you and is wanting to ride keep up the great work you legend.👍🐺
I know that salesman view. I've been asked several times why I don't work as a motorcycle salesman. (and I've been offered jobs as a salesman in other branches) But it all comes down to honesty. I can't sell a bike I know it's not for him or her. I can't make a sales speach about a product I don't use my self. Imagin selling Yamaha and the customer asks "What bike do you own?" and I have to say "KTM!" It just doesn't add up!
You're doing a great job. And I recommended your channel to my daughter-in-law. She's a newbie on a KTM 390 Duke. My son rides a 690 Duke, like myself. 🙂 (mine in white!)
Take care Kate!
Been watching your channel a few weeks,
So easy to watch ,
Nothing pushy ,just a nice pleasant relaxing voice, giving sensible views / comments,
Takes a lot of courage to walk away from a regular income,
I did it due to health problems,
So well done you 👏.
I really respect that you’ve never gone down the click bait route - and grown the channel all same!
Hiya Kate, just watched the above video. Very interesting I must say. I did not know there was as much work went into a video. I have not watched many of your videos, ut I will look out for more from now. I have subscribed so I should get notified
Take care and be safe
TH-cam puts ads on non-monetised channels too now. Great work going ft, really impressive 👏
Enjoy and same way don't forgot entertain us every time all the best kate
Well done on completing your first year and overcoming the challenges dealt. Didn't ever have you down as someone with confidence issues but very honest of you in admitting such concerns. Makes you even more of an inspiration to those that share such insecurities. Here's to 2023. :-)
PS. Not really too interested in how much you earn as long as it allows you to live life as you want it.
I was in corporate sales for a large fortune 50 company for 35 years and ended my career when the company told me I would lose 30% of my pension if I opted to stay……….17,000 employees overall were advised of the same thing. When I started with the company my customers became my friends and it was so much fun. Do what you love in life and travel and enjoy other people stories and experiences. Originally from Manchester/ Liverpool and now living in Scottsdale, AZ ..life is good. The one thing I miss are the people and the dry sarcasm of my local neighborhood. Love Kate’s YT……….and will make it a practice to watch the ads. CONGRATS on you one year anniversary .I’m now heading out to Payson AZ on my R1200RT……ride safe 👍👍
Hi Kate, I have recently got back on two wheels after a few years without, 8 to be more precise. I have found You Tube to be a great way to research both bikes and riding gear. Whist doing my research, I came across your channel as well as The Missenden Flyer and a few others. I have really enjoyed your content and your very personable presentation. You have asked about if there is anything that we would like to see and bikes that could be reviewed. I think it would be good to see some more second hand bikes as most people returning to riding will probably not go out and buy a new bike straight away. After doing a reasonable amount of research and test rides, I bought a BMW F800GT. This is the bike that I felt best met my brief and requirements. I have found the process very enjoyable but my own personal journey has highlighted a lot of considerations that should be thought about. Whilst there are reviews on older bikes, a lot of them were made when the bike were new and not done from the point of a second hand purchase and other bikes in a similar category that may offer different benefits. Anyway, keep up the good work and let me know what you think.
Simon, Hastings, East Sussex.
I'm happy for you! Best of luck, and I will do my part to keep you going! Bring on the adds!!!!! lol
Congrats Kate.
Very useful real talk in this video. Thanks for the journey.
Hi Kate,
Been following you for awhile now. Seeing you shift into what you are presently doing. I think it’s wonderful. Be You ☀️
You def assisted me in selecting the perfect motorcycle with your reviews.
Had a 2021 BMW R1250R now have 2023 R1250R.
Keep doing You and thanks for being You sharing such insight in an Adventurous fun way.
I’m pulling for ya 👍🏍️☀️✌️🇨🇦
Not surprised you didn’t last under current BMW sales - you are far too nice. I speak as someone who has been on the wrong end of BMW sales arrogance!! Good luck and keep it up great videos.
Nice one kate,just keep keeping it real,with so many fakes out there its nice to hear a genuine person.
It's exhausting being me nevermind me trying to be anyone else LOL
Remember you starting your c.c. career and as a northerner, me, thinking 'eh? Kates leaving her motorcycle job?' , little did we know we'd have 12 months of great motorcycle content from you. So good luck for the next 12 months 👍👍🙂🏍🎉🎈🍻
Thanks! If it all goes wrong, at least I gave it a go :)
Glad I took time to watch this, totally trust your reviews and content but never appreciated the work that goes into your content. Thankyou so much for your efforts and good luck going forward you deserve success.
I don't even watch ordinary TV anymore and watch most of the utube bike.people you have mentioned,, it is good to be able to do what you are doing,,I work repairing ships and do long hours,, it's have to do part of the job ,, You are doing what you want,,we enjoy your channel and Brilliant onwards and upwards ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland 😁
Don’t change anything Kate, you are doing brilliantly, your personality is your USP.
I completed my university degree and finished my working career last year around October 2023 I run my own support work and program it’s been great but also a big learning experience. I have a Iron 883 2017 and would love to be able to afford a BMW cruiser but looks like it will be a BMW C 400x for driving around town and drop the car as the cost of that is ridiculous with parking tolls and rego and insurance as a support worker I see a lot of clients each day and drive about 100 miles
Thanks for all the vids.
Hi Kate, been watching for Channel for a little while now and enjoying all of the content! I think doing the video about your first year of TH-cam, earnings, hours worked etc would be helpful to alot of people. I think it would also inspire people to push themselves.
Nice one Kate…great video! 👍🏻
2:20 Nice skills and awareness. Approaching a junction, moves to outside of lane and does a shimmy/wiggle. Great technique for getting us noticed..
Considering all aspects of your occupation and your personality , I would say your job title should be ' Being an Angel ' 😇 Kind , Honest , Positive Vibes and Pure. Keep it real Kate , it's where the peace is at. ✌️💫 Wishing you all the happiness in your second year and beyond.
Great videos and content. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations Kate on your first year love the content and keep it up you doing a stunning job

Congrats! certainly can’t knock anyone doing what they want to do! looking forward to more content! it’s certainly not easy and editing really does take ages! Always said i wouldn’t do videos just for the sake of it and there is a fine line between updates and just throwing stuff out there that’s fun or relevant. you’re an inspiration anyway and wishing you all the success! 👌🏻😎👍🏻
Been watching a little while and just bought my first bike yesterday 😁
Nice one Jack, what did you go for?
@@UsernameKate Went for a 2020 CB500X 😊 seemed like a good starter bike with not too much power lol

@@UsernameKate Cheers Kate!
Love seeing people doing what they love successfully. Congratulations on your 1 yr of youtubing! 💪🏽💪🏽 Looking forward to more lovely videos to come! 👍🏼👍🏼
Your doing great,here’s to the next Twelve months❤️👌
Embrace the freedom !! Freedom of choice, freedom with time etc. I found it liberating when I went self employed, there are good days and bad days, but the feeling that you are calling the shots and steering your own ship is priceless, I never go to bed now on a Sunday and dread Monday mornings !! ... keep doing what you're doing 👌
Hi Kate . 👋 Your reviews are always 10 out of 10 . All the best with your new job . Thanks 😊
Bloody love your videos. You have such an authentic personality which always shines through. We need to ride in 2023!!
Good Luck !

Well done Kate keep up the good work,love your vlogs I see the sinnis still going strong.
Great video explaining your decisions and struggles in the self employed world! also you were riding round my neck of the woods so bonus points for that!!
That was kind of inspiring. Thanks. Subscribed.
Well done Kate , it’s not easy been self employed and the first year is always the hardest. You’ve got a great channel with great content and the only way is up. Well,dome 👏👏
Interesting, I follow a lot of bike channels. Yours is a good one. Hope 2023 is a fantastic year for you. 👍
Just starting out in my TH-cam Motovlogging journey, just smashing out videos for fun at the minute but what a goal to strive for! You're doing awesome! Keep it up!
Thanks dude! I've just become a Puddling so Good Luck! :)
@@UsernameKate Wow! 🤣 Can't say I expected that! What a legend... Cheers 💪
Love your honest and no ego attitude to it all. Keep smashing it in 23. Bossed it 👌🏼
Thanks for sharing this Kate. Very interesting and you should be very proud of yourself for making the jump and making it a great success. Fair play to you. Can’t wait to see more of your exploits on two wheels.
Congrats on your first year of full time YouTubing; it's lovely to see folk like yourself and Mr Smart make a success of your channels; proof to the rest of us just dipping our toes into the world of YT that it can be done with a bit graft. 👏🏻
Well done great content as usual,BMW will miss you. Hope all works out for your future.
Loved the winter trip to Germany big challenge 👍
I especially enjoyed watching this video, brings out your funny personality. Great work & carry on….🇬🇧
I always look forward to your vlogs, the range of bikes, the occasional sister and Dad joining your vlogs so enjoyable, the track days, weird camping adventures and ride outs with other friends, all make a great watch, keep on doing what you’re doing, stay passionate about it, but most of enjoy life.
You have a long ride ahead of you Kate. Give it your best, and good things will happen! And if doesn’t ride out like you plan, there’s always another adventure out there.
Congratulations on your first year as an independent creator, and especially on soldiering through the mid-year medical challenge. I am so glad that the UK motorcycle distributors have taken notice and are, wisely, including you on longer term reviews and product launches, such as the recent BMW launches you posted videos of. Your knowledge, riding skill, and personality help make your videos both informative and enjoyable, and I wish you continued and increasing success in your TH-cam adventure.
Ben, thank you soo much for kind words. Seriously, it means so much!
Hi Kate. You’re most welcome!
Hi Kate, after this video and your livestream I had to sign up to your Patreon. I’ve tried the TH-cam malarkey and it’s not easy so good on you. Good look for the future. Good to see a fellow northerner on a bike! 👍
Interesting stuff, thanks Kate, very honest overview. I’ve been self-employed for over 20 years now and every years still a learning curve, so right you get out what you put in!
Be nice to see a kit review.
Congratulations on your first year now behind you. Having just found your channel and watching your pieces on the KTM 1290 SAS, I'm looking forward to see more of what you've already created and what's yet to come. Wishing you all the success possible.
Love your videos Kate.
Any info on GSA TE would be great. Done some research but know it’s one of your favourite bikes.
So very well done despite the lows...you will succeed. I have no doubt. Your a grafter and like you say if you hit your video's on time you will get the algorithm on your side....I love all your content. But lean towards bike reviews because your so great at doing them 👌. I'm so sure this year will be a great one. Keep biking Kate. Sending all the support I can give. 😉👍👍
Can’t believe it’s 12 months, well done, enjoying your journey and keep it going
Congratulations Kate on the channel, we make our own future and if you can do it then go for it and the ones that want to follow and contribute will just do it freely.
Lovely video Kate you're a credit to the discipline 👌🏍️🎥
