    i remember seeing your first video and, I loved that it. Then i clicked your channel to watch your other videos, and i saw that you had little subscribers and only one video, i was amazed. You have a natural talent for making these awesome videos that are fun to watch. The fact that you got to 100k with like 7 videos is insane. A some people work years to try to get 100k subscribers. Keep up the good work and you’ll be at a mil in no time!

    Because of your initial air tag video, I started using the air tag in my more expensive shipments. I tried one package so far and it worked like a charm. The customer was kind enough to pop the postage paid tracker in the mail to get back to me. The places these packages see are very interesting.

I couldn't believe it and thought you may be one of those channels that steals high quality content from others to make money 😅 Your content is really awesome, well produced, entertaining, and your calm voice is just nice to listen to. You really deserve this success! I hope you're allowed to stay (and work) here 🤞

    Wow. As someone that sometimes looks at internet content with rose-tinted glasses, I occasionally dabble with the idea of dropping everything and trying my hand at making some content to hope to "go big."
    See that you made roughly $22,000 in four months is incredibly grounding. By no means a small amount, but also not some magical lottery amount either. That amount comes out to about $5,500 a month. Which, I'm incredibly fortunate to say, is actually less than my own monthly salary. Now that I've seen these actual numbers side by side, I find myself feeling much more gracious for what I have, and also appreciative of the work you put in. So I guess what I'm saying is thank you.

    @samwilliamson4715 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Jonno - congrats on the 100k; job well done. Given that YT traffic is based around click thru and subscriptions (and advertising); perhaps you could do another air tag video where you’d send some air tags to subscribers all over the world (video all these) then track them heading to the various destinations; then the subscribers could make videos of their own receiving the airtags - and perhaps could do something fun with them their end before they return them back and you could track that also? All these would be more content for you to upload and for others to tag (hehe NPI) you in possibly on their own channel or just to send to you for uploading.
    Just an idea :)

I was meant to move over in 2020 and I got a lot of good information about what I could/couldn’t do on different types of visas and just general stuff about living overseas.
