Is The Way Away DEAD FOREVER? | YouTube analytics and what I'm paid after 3 years of no content.

- I thought it would be interesting in this video to take a look at this channel now so in the future I can see the progress. I wanted to share after 3 year of not uploading to the channel if the channel is a dead channel or if its worth the effort to try and revive it. I also wanted to share how much my TH-cam channel is still making from residual income after so many years and record the potential income a channel with the same amount of subscribers could get.

== About Me ==
Hello! I'm Ashley, a travel enthusiast who loves to explore and share everything I learn along the way. I have traveled to over 70 countries and have made if my mission to dig into the culture, history, food, and language as much as I can. I not only want to share my passion for the world but also encourage my viewers to get out and experience it for themselves. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to inspire others to challenge their miss conceptions and step out of what makes them comfortable in hopes of trying or experience something new that may change their life forever.
Be sure to subscribe to my TH-cam channel to catch all that I’m up to.
If you are not following me on Instagram @wingingitwithash you're missing out on my daily life. I post stories often about what's going on day to day here in Spain! Be sure and check it out. I am also planning to do weekly LIVES there starting THIS MONDAY!
I don’t use insta that much but I’ll go follow you there now!
Fascinating to see the back room side of TH-cam thank you for sharing that. It will be really interesting to see the impact of the travel content that you plan on doing in future. Don't be discouraged I'm sure the channel will pick up x
Thank you so much! I am looking forward to making fun and helpful content in the future.
I definitely saw your previous video. I think you should keep it going. I think you’ll be able to build it back and then up from there. Go for it!
I'm gunna give it my best shot Brian. Only time and effort will tell. -Ash
Fascinating to see the analytics and refreshing to actually see the honest numbers (people can be very vague when talking of money)
I hope it picks up - I'm subscribing!
Ashley, I believe that there is a future here. Just like all things TH-cam, consistency is the key. Show us Barcelona, Have Fun! 💕
Best advice right here!!
Thanks for sharing your analytics! That was super interesting. I’m looking forward to what comes next.
Wow, thanks for this in-depth dive into your channel analytics. As a new you tuber, this is so insightful! Best of luck to you in the future!
Wishing you the best success in this venture, Ashley, as always!
I think once you post travel content the numbers will perk up. The way away was such an informative travel channel. It helped me with planning my trip to Europe and Mexico. It also encouraged me to see places that I’d never even thought about visiting. This channel gave me the confidence to go to another country where I don’t speak the language. This will aways be my favorite channel on TH-cam. I really hope and wish you all the best as you revive it. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for this channel. 🤗
Love the honesty of this video. Your subscribers will come back and you’ll get new ones too. People like you, youre just like us all of our lives are roller coasters too. Make the content..they will come. Thumb nails including Laura will help.
Nice to see you back. All the best!
Sticking with you Ash.❤❤ Thanks for sharing that information. Really interesting.
It's great to see The Way Away back, and I'm looking forward to new content. I'm subscribed to both channels.
Yeahhhh Thank you so much. They will both be different content and I hope you find it entertaining and useful. -Ash
Seeing and sharing places is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
My husband and I used to watch every new video on way away! And we are still here, still subscribed. So glad you are reviving the channel! It was very cool to peek behind the curtain and see all the analytics. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see your new content! Keep it coming 🤗❤
I think once you start posting regularly this channel will grow again. Best of luck! I look forward to seeing where you take this channel.
Thanks so much for sharing and really appreciate you going into detail. Stay strong and I’m sure with time and more of your travel videos it will improve 😊👍🏻
Thanks for the video. I find the analytics fascinating. Just an idea perhaps you could do a " reacting to my old video" series where you comment on what you might do different if you were to visit that place again now as a single traveller or what insights you gained or would do different if you were to visit that place again now. That way it brings up interest in your previous video while perhaps giving us some new insight as well. Just a thought as to something I'd enjoy watching. Take care.
That's a great idea! ATTENTION ASHLEY
The Way Away was the first TH-cam channel I ever subscribed to over 5 (6?) years ago and have watched most of the uploads. I'm also subscribed to Winging It. I started my own TH-cam channel (Gr8fully Tedicated) several months ago which is growing s l o w l y, and I have to say that this video REALLY helped me better understand the analytics on my own channel. Thank you so very much. It is really appreciated. I totally get it that many will find that it is not what they might want from this channel, but it was very important that you go through this information for your viewers and again, thank you! I will continue to watch both your channels. Ever onward, Ash!
I think the channel has a future, so keep it up it’s going to grow as you are the star! Your audience will come back!
We have been watching for 6+ years and have seen all the videos, we will continue to watch.
Your are doing a great job filming & editing and of course you are always so entertaining! ~Cara 💖
I think as you post more travel content, the algorithim will be reactivated. It was very interesting to see how ad revenue is calculated. When the channel was at its highest, was most of your income from TH-cam ads or sponsors?
I agree. You have to post regularly to increase views. I'm just starting out, but I post 2x per week and that helps. Of course, I'm not doing travel videos. But subscribers and others need to see those notifications popping up on a regular basis.
Such a lovely genuine lady with a lot of spirit & a big heart. People watching will see that shine through & will be the reason why whatever you do will inspire & warm to that about you.😊 a channel well worth supporting.
i think the channel can get back to its former glory and fast. hope to see more soon :)
Hey Ash, really fascinating look at the analytics - have always been curious about this. Interestingly, I've been a subscriber (without notifications turned on) to The Way Away since right before you closed up shop in 2019. Even so, I didn't get any of your new videos into my feed once you started posting again. The only reason I found the new content is because I dropped by after watching your other channel. Anyway, I really appreciate your content - best of luck!
missed your last video due to vacation. welcome back and hope to find some nice content here again.
All the best Ash. I started watching way back in 2017 and it was one of my go to travel channels. Even the jingle at the beginning from the old videos brings back memories😊
Awe thank you for supporting my new venture!
Thank you for creating this video as the information was very useful to know. We appreciate you alot.
It would be interesting to see a comparison to your new channel! Keep up the work and be consistent!
Aww, OF COURSE it is worth the effort to revive this channel! Please don't throw in the towel. You do recall my , shall we say, rather enthusiastic feedback after seeing your video here a month ago! And finding out that the WA still existed in the first place😁 (Btw I have continued to comment on Winging It too!!! ) In any event this was a fascinating and enlightening look "behind the scenes" !
You inspire and motivate me Ash. I would love to make travel content like you. So far, I've made a few about Turkey and I'm planning to make many more
I'm glad you revived this channel, used to follow you guys. Keep on with it.
welcome back! cool insight...keep going it will come back
Glad to hear about your new plans! Go for it.
Notifications on always. Cant wait to see more content! Love your energy Ash. You can be sure, you haven't seen your peak yet. Keep doing what you doing!
You are so kind and I really appreciate you confidence in me! I'm hoping for a VERY bright future.
Please keep it going. I just watched. And now that I know it is going, I will keep checking.
It’s funny - I just started to watch the old way away videos. Compared to other travel channels I was impressed by the spontaneity. One thing I would recommend is for you to try to be a little more adventurous in your editing techniques and music.
Very informative, thanks for sharing!
I'm remembering your views were always low. Travel content just seems to do better long term than in the first 30 days. It will be interesting to see what you do in the future. I still watch both channels.
Keep it going… can’t wait for new travel videos!!
Your wording and phrasing in this is immaculate. Well done. Personally I’d say just jump back on it and make room.
Ive enjoyed rewatching these old videos on Way Away. Its invaluable to world travelers. My vote is to put your energy into Winging it With Ash. Its too confusing to have 2 channels...there is only one of you! But do please keep Way Away up!
Yes, keep going Ashley....you've got this girl!!
I enjoyed this video and hope you travel more and show us the world when we can't travel ourselves.
Woah, blast from the past, forgot I subbed to be honest!
Is there a way to see if those who are subscribed to your other channel are the subscribers here who are watching? probably not, but if not for you mentioning things in your new channel, not sure I'd have known to come over here for your last video...
As a small youtuber who is struggling to grow my channel and trying to monetize it as well, this was very interesting and helpful. I hope to be able to grow my channel soon and make a living out of it. Keep going Ash! You inspire me ❤️
No notification for me on any of these new videos. Ill be lookin for them now.
Enjoyed this video; you can make it grow again with new content. This is one of the first channels I subscribed to when I started watching. Recently have rewatched the older videos and still enjoy them just as much as the first time I saw them. Looking forward to more from the Way Away and Winging it with Ash!
Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing!
Ash I paused at 13min to say - I upgraded my phone on Tuesday to a Samsung S22 Ultra ($$$) and ever since I'm not getting ANY TH-cam notifications AT ALL. I have to go to my notification bell in the app to see if anyone has uploaded. Mind you All of my notification settings are turned on! I even had someone check it for me because I don't understand why they're not coming through. It's really frustrating.
OK off to watch the rest 😁
So strange...I think its cute you paused it to verify what I am saying is correct. lol
I love this type of content!
Great information. It is true what you say. I have been posting promo videos on my travel site for years and never monetized. I had no clue how monetization worked until about two years ago when I began searching places I want to visit.
Came across the channel 3 years ago while planning our 2020 or should I say 2023 holiday. Peoples priorities or needs may have changed a bit but if we were interested in travel, we probably still are. You are competing with a whole lot of DIY stuff at the moment. Couple or solo doesn’t matter to me it’s the ideas of what to see and how to get there that are key.
Interesting, How do you differentiate between the two channels. How should we look at the two channels - what are we looking for? I have been a fan for 4 years plus, and have been on WIWA since conception. I really want to know what you want us to see.
Great video Ashley! Loved the behind the scenes perspective. My two cents - definitely keep on posting on this channel, I think you can revive it quickly. Maybe this can be all of your travel content and your other channel can be more lifestyle and day to day focused!
I think once you post a travel video, TH-cam may send the notifications. So, the next video should be a travel video, so you don’t further confuse the algorithm.
Glad you are doing OK! I thought you had stopped Youtubing but see you have put travel content on Winging it with Ash!! Why not post those travel videos on here and save Winging it for day to day problems as an extra for those who are more interested in behind the scenes content? Bx
I think channels that have not been releasing videos for this long will take a while before TH-cam algorithms kick in and I think that applies to notifications too.
Looking forward to future content.
Thanks so much!
I have the notification bell turned on but have the notifications turned off on the computer during my working hours and if in full screen mode as they can be annoying popping up whilst in the middle of doing something. They do get seen and acted on at some stage during the day.
Enjoy any content you put out
I think the back end stuff is SUPER interesting! Why not maybe take the opportunity to do something a little different! Breaking that 3rd wall! Love it. ❤️
Thank you!!!
I am subscribed from before the channel stopped, but I really didn't get any videos since you came back except for the Truffles vid and one other. I am not going back to see the new ones.
Hey Ashley I have notifications set upfor both your channels but the last couple of weeks I'm not being notified
Hey Ashley, great video as always, ...I for one love the transparency and love this type of content. It is so awesome that you share your financials but,... My question to you would be ; What's your breakdown as far as, do you have to pay taxes being a American living in a foreign country? Are their Taxes or fees? Does TH-cam itself charge you a fee? What is the grand total of what is estimated and what do you actually receive? I know this question is probably complex and very complicated but,... thank you for considering answering it for me..I so forward look to future content posted on this and your other main channel😁 thanks again...
I'll give you 10/10 for being honest, I watched winging it and knew nothing about this channel. Please remember that people of my age 78 don't use or understand Istagram.
Great Video Ash! I think your views will climb if you do travel videos again and even more so, if you find a partner to do them with. Or maybe do a 'Bewitched' and hire an actor that looks like your ex and hope no one notices the difference👍😄
I be watching. Way Away. With Ashley. 👍😁🥰
Do a follow up next year.
I think you need to post more travel stuff here (like your Andorra trip) before you can gauge where your audience is.
Very interesting.
well done Ash
Thanks Andi!
I hope you can combine both channels. You don't have to upload every day or every week. Maybe every 14 days or so?
TH-cam stopped emailing out notifications even though I have them turned on
YT did not push it out to us....but in fairness we had unsubscribed. I searched to day, randomly...wondering where Ash was. So we watched the most two recent videos...and have resubscribed. So for these two, we were not subscribed, but watched the videos.
I love that! Thank you for following again!!
I think you’ll grow fast when you start posting travel content again! Especially being in Europe now you have so much at your door step!
Edit: also full disclosure I 100% thought I unsubscribed from this channel and I’m glad I didn’t so keep in mind that 80-90% could still be us coming back feeling it out again lol I also find this interesting
You risk the problem of people getting confused with how this channel is different from Winging it.
Definitely think you have to give it more times. So sincerely you have to work twice as hard and basically make videos for two channels.
Just stay healthy x
Your last video wasn't about travel and WayAway is a travel channel. I suspect that's the simple explanation for the small spike etc.
👍👍👍👍
I agree with another follower, way to confusing to go from one site to the next. I think people will choose to watch one over the other. Put your energy into Wingin it with Ash. Travel on that site, live your life on that site. Show us YOUR world on that site. Just my opinion.
have you considered a partner with way away and keep winging it for your self .with a partner located somewhere else you can share episodes and increase location content .
I’m not familiar with analytics but I have to assume it’s because most people are subscribed for travel and not sit down videos. Obviously people were interested in the past few that explained what had happened between you and your ex but otherwise I’d be very interested in seeing more travel.
I was unsubscribed somehow I used to be subscribed though
Oh TH-cam.....Im so glad to see you back Gentry! Against all odds lol
Get subscribers to transfer subscribe to
Winging it with Ash. Two channels makes no sense. Need to increase Patreon support for Winging It.
I hope Alexis is getting her fair share of the channel income?????? Is she
She won't be as Ash is now the sole owner of The Way Away. Alexis is no longer involved in any way.
@@dereksanders7905 but that's not fair if she's not getting revenue for the old/existing videos she was a part of
After all Alexis was the one who started up the channel and you are so obsessed with how much money it can make.
Kia ora from New Zealand Ash. Nice to see you back on this channel. Can't wait to see more content.
Unsubscribed.
All the best!
Enough of this silly drama. It’s private to you please keep it private.
Thanks.
