New TH subscriber here... can't wait to do a review on this !
@@DominicSicotteException Why hasn't Alpha.M been on one of your videos yet?
I didn't start making content with any hopes of doing... well anything with it really. At best I wanted to document my initial experiences as I venture into trying different types of whiskey. As time went by I found myself in the TH-cam whiskey community with people actually subscribing and donating to my channels growth. I've been unemployed for over ten years due to my mental illness, and having this outlet and support has really helped me get through this past terrible year. Now I am doing live streams twice a week and making one video every week with multiple bottles and samples to get through thanks to the generous whiskey community. 🖖😎🥃
That’s awesome. I’ll come check you out
Bro.... you are the shit. Thank you for the inspiration. Watching this video is exactly what I needed to get off my ass and start doing some shit. Not to mention the quality of your filming, editing, and content, is enough to inspire anyone. Thanks again and I appreciate the time and effort you put into your work. Keep at it.
I've been watching since the early days, and I'm stoked to see someone that's at least close to my age (50) in the game! Still in the hobby phase now, but I enjoy the piss out of it!
Nice to see authentic TH-camrs like Jeremy talk about when they started and how awkward it was talking to a camera. I can relate!!
Thank you for the information, we are in the very beginning of our TH-cam adventure. I appreciate your straight talk.
Good luck and keep going! 😉👍🏻
I think I found your channel right at the 10K thank you video. It’s been super fun to see the journey!
Thanks brotha!!! Big fan of your stuff also Tom. Always check in on your channel for all the great audio equipment info. Top notch content man. 👍🏻
Speaking of courses...I’d love to see your editing workflow, and how you shoot your videos. Your vids are gorgeous!
Thanks man!!
Hi Jeremy. I’ve been with you since the early days and am still with you. Not every topic appeals to me but I watch anyway - because I really like your style and perhaps similar to other followers, I feel I’ve really gotten to know you over all this time. You’ve led me to the purchase of some very cool things, which isn’t always easy because being from Canada (Toronto), they cost me 30% more plus (sometimes) taxes and duty. All in all, you are one of my favourites, so thank you for being You and being a positive and entertaining part of my life.
When the intro makes you realize Father Time hasn’t always been old
🤣😜
Yes he has.. when you’re Father Time you can manipulate your appearance at will
So many good tips. I'm grinding to build mine as a side hustle and we will see where it goes down the road! Cheers Jeremys
Keep after it man! 😉👍🏻
Initially found your videos a few years ago on how to build an office desk and the office tech tour when you had ~30k subscribers. It has been amazing to see the journey of both you and your channel!
I found your channel about 2 years ago when I was going through a really rough time. I had a lot of personal/relationship things happening with family, my business had just imploded, and I was in a bad spot emotionally and mentally.
Your videos were a respite at the end of a long string of really stressful days. It was just a way for me to disconnect with all the BS going on. So, thank you for showing up. Thank you for doing what you do. It helped me get through it all and for that I’ll always be grateful to you.
Man that is nice to hear. Super pumped the vids helped you though a rough patch. Keep your chin up and keep hammering brotha. 😉👍🏻
Finally, somebody being honest about hardware and the fact that it does matter -- Especially in this ever-growing and massive TH-cam space. Thank you, Thank you!!!
Love this kind of vid Jeremy it's really useful, thank you!! I started my channel in January at the ripe age of 31 mainly to get into cinematography and it's been a load of fun so far 😊
Keep after it man! 😉👍🏻
Thanks Jeremy. You have been a huge inspiration for me and my channel - for some obvious reasons!
Love hearing it man!! Keep on getting after it! 😉👍🏻
@@JeremySiers thank you.
Gotta be honest with you my brother after watching you explain all this stuff on TH-cam I've been frustrated with my bbq channel it doesn't grow fast enough lol but you broke it down for me just wanted to say a big THANK YOU BRO!!!
Even after a year, this is what I needed to hear! Thanks for all the tips Jeremy!
Love hearing the story of how you went full time and took the leap. Well deserved and looking forward to many more years of content! Been following you since back in the day and was able to watch the Videos that are no longer published.
Working with an iPhone right now lol just having fun on the journey not worried about anything else. Love the channel and your content. I don’t even smoke or drink but it is still interesting to me!
Im in the process of setting up my channel, as yes...talking to a camera is Totally awkward and feels so strange. I have way more respect for all TH-camrs now knowing what its really like. Great job Jeremy. Thanks for this video.
You did well brother!!! Your videos are really well done now, amazing… a lot of people don’t put on the time like you did…
A cup of coffee and a little Siers makes for a Great way to start off my Sunday. Because of you I’ve started to recorded stuff with my phone. I just haven’t made the videos public yet. I just need to get over the fear of what others might say.
For me, it wasn't the fear of what other might say. I just couldn’t get over the awkwardness of talking to a camera. But I did, and it's a fun thing to do now. Publish that video! And then another one!
Just do it Timothy. More then likely you’ll never meet anyone who comments, in person. Don’t let something you want to do die because of what someone else might say
Man just do you and don’t worry about what other folks say. As long as you are happy and being real that is all that matters. 😉👍🏻
@@JeremySiers Thank you for the encouragement. I made a video this morning and posted it.
I went the opposite route Tim. Went public immediately and it is awful but I want to be able to reference back to it a year from now and see the progression. As far as the fear goes, who cares about what other people say or think....
Awesome advice. Still in the hobby phase of my channel. Learning a lot from just watching your vids! Thanks for putting this one out there.
It would be cool, since you show your desk in a lot of vids, if you’d talk about the equipment you use for recording, editing and the process.
Great job on the editing by the way! Love it!
I also remember my first videos, I took them offline too, they were horrible :)
Diversity your income is probably one of the best tip in your video, but that doesn't just apply to youtube, it is generally a really good tip :)
Your videos motivate me to keep going with my channel. Amazing content as always Jeremy!
The tip about getting into storytelling is a great one! It's something I just started working on and it was cool hearing that I'm on the right path.
Really enjoyed your journey to become a full time youtuber and your tips. Your story telling is awesome and engaging. Keep doing the good job. All the best for your future endeavors.
Personally I’m looking forward to your “Thank You for 1 Million Subscribers” vid,
Till then, long ashes and strong winds to all watching!
Loved it man. Very inspiring. I've been doing this almost a year now and struggle with the same things. Started as an interest and turned into a passion but I struggle with the direction I want to go and what to make.
The idea of making a living doing something you love keeps driving me but it easily causes me to think about views and likes and making content people will watch rather than what I enjoy!!!
The struggle is real!
You’ve done a great job. Even if the content is something that I’m not necessarily in to, I usually really enjoy the video. You’re an entertaining dude.
Thanks man! 😉👍🏻
Came here for the vlog years back. Those kids and dogs are a hoot! Also enjoyed the comical sped up "going to the hardware store" montages. Happy Sunday!
So awesome you’re able to do this full time!!! If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life! Congrats brother keep on growing!
As usual, great stuff mr. Siers.
And thanks for the tips! Its awesome to see how people who have gone through hurdles you’re trying to overcome yourself, made it.
Ps: fully accustomed to the Sony life, I see? ;)
Love to hear that man!
Thank you for this amazing encouraging video Jeremy! Always enjoy your content and can really feel how genuine you are and how much you're enjoying yourself on your videos!
Thanks for the info!! It's really helpful.
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!
Excellent video man, thank you for the insights!
More power to you man💯🙏🏻
Another great video with my man Jeremy doing man shit everyday. Love it brother. Keep up the amazing content. 😎😎🤘🏼🤘🏼
Great vid. I just started watching you at around the end of last year and I've always enjoyed what I've seen so far. And thank you for introducing me to Tiege Henley, great product.
This is great! I'm on that cusp of being monetized, but I look at any potential income from TH-cam to be purely diversified extra "fun" money. I mostly just do my "streams" as a fun way to interact with the communities I'm in (mostly audio, but trying to bring in other hobbies of mine).
That "fun money" is really cigar and whiskey money, lets be honest
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Great advise. I’m in my third full year of creating content and my channel just became Montez. But I’m in this game for the long haul......Thank you
Keep at it man! 😉👍🏻
Definitely.....I’ve been watching your channel for around a year now. Always great real to yourself content. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I would definitely like to get you for a interview on my channel to have cigar conversation
LMAO nah the sponsor spot came in smooth bro. I always love your presentation skills!! Thanks for the tips too homie (: WE CAN DO THIS!!
Always good to see the full process in how you got to where you are now. Keep it up man. Glad to see you getting back to posting some more videos 👍🏼👍🏼
You rebel for not following the rules!! 😄 Great video and I completely agree, it is all about time and perseverance. Thanks Jeremy!! 👍👍👍
These are fantastic tips, for anyone thinking about starting to You Tube, or even people who have been doing this for awhile. Thanks so much!!
Great job bro, thanks for sharing with us your wonderful experience. You inspired us a lot.
Hey my brother, good to see you back Jeremy 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Perfect tips!! I loved this video!
Jess - big fan of your channel. Have been a sub for a couple months. You actually inspired me to make a few motovlogs on my channel. Really enjoy your content
Love your channel man. Interesting to hear how you got where you are. Even if for some reason I was putting in the work to make my channel worth a damn, I'm currently in my 15th year in a career that doesn't exactly lay off. I work for "the man" here in Florida and have a nice retirement package coming my way. I see the end of the road just 10 short years away. I'm still in my early 40's. I'm not much of a risk taker and quitting to go full-time honestly terrifies me. It would have to be the perfect storm. BUT...seeing as how my job sucks the creative juices right out of me, it ain't happening! Oh well, at least I can afford bourbon and cigars.
Absolutely loved this format and video, a whole different side of you on show brother, very cool and personable 👏🏽👏🏽 You should definitely do more like this ✊🏽 good pacing and could have been 5 to 10min longer without feeling dragged out 👍🏾
Calvin!! My man!! Much appreciated my friend!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@JeremySiers welcome my brother and really enjoyed it Jeremy 👍
Very cool Video and great Channel. Great Information for people who are getting into TH-cam like me.
Hey Jeremey...long time listener first time caller ;). Just wanted to give you a shout out brother of how much I appreciate what you're putting out here. Found you when I was looking for videos on the leaf side of what you do and thought "Man, this guy has it going right!" Great videos, great content and just wanted to you know that've you've inspired me to get out of my own way. Best advise in this piece "...just do videos on stuff you enjoy.."
Reminded me of a saying - The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
Chinese proverb 🙏🏼😌
Always got the notification on for uh my guy 👊🏽🙏🏽
Great Video! I am surprised it doesnt have at least a million of views. Such a good advices. Thank you for being honest and cool as always!
These are great tips! I especially like the one about don't chase money, sponsorship, etc. It's very powerful to be able to pick and choose who one works with. The only equipment I think is really important is whatever gives good audio (even an iPhone corded headset). I can live with subpar video with good audio, but not the other way around. Question: About how many hours a day do you spend editing, filming, etc. and do you miss the social interaction of "going to the office"? Getting to STA at the end of the month....can't wait!
IT’S TIME...! 👍👍
Thank you for these tips...I see a lot of tip videos for being a TH-camr, but this is one of the most genuine, heartfelt videos of the bunch...thank you! Keep doing what you do, bro!
Shoutout to everybody just trying ! 🙏🏿💯 we gonna make it guys ❤️🤞🏿😅
yesssssir
Man, I'm down here in Sarasota and I would love to meet up with you someday to have a cigar and talk shop.
Thanks for sharing, I'm just starting out and the camera awkwardness is 100% correct!
Jeremy, on point as always, great advice. Thank you for sharing, brother keep on crushing it my Floridian Brotha!
Super helpful video! Can’t wait to see where my own TH-cam journey takes me 🤘🏼
Interesting one, thanks for that. Am pationate about watches so enjoyed besides this vid the BB red.
Keep up the good work, cheers from Germany 👍🏻🙏🏻
So much truth in this video, including the 'dickiedo'! I still can't believe you aren't at 1M subscribers.
Thank you my brotha. 🙏🏻
Great video Jeremy! I was nervous starting out, still am! Mine is just a hobby and very very small scale but the occasional commenter that appreciates your videos mean the world. Heres to raising a glass to your channel and hoping it continues to grow!
Love the channel. Keep doin what your doin so I have great content to watch.
It’s cool seeing how you’ve come along
Thanks Jeremy... been watching you for about a year, maybe more & I think this is my first comment (as you say, Marathon not Sprint!). Just wanted to thank you for the great tips, your videos are so watchable & relaxing (even the slightly off-the-wall stuff!). Where your videos stand head & shoulders above others is quality, quality, quality be that in technical ability, style or just good content. Thanks for what you do brother! 👍🏻
Love it! Great info man. Love the channels
Alot of great tips! Thanks for sharing what you have learned over the years.
Awesome video. I stumbled on your channel yesterday and already binge watching it 👌 Love your style 😎 I’m looking at starting to work on my channel as well, so thanks for the tips 👊🏻
While I have absolutely no desire to do YT, though now that I'm starting to do camping/overlanding I feel I could, I am so glad that people like you, Taylor and many others I follow did. I will be totally honest as well and I was always kinda against joining people's Patreon until you guys as well and you 2 are the only ones I support. So I will say thinks for taking the leap and doing all this cause it definitely provides good stuff for your followers, and also keeps my wallet hurting cause of the sweet drops you do.....sigh.
Love your videos ! The content is great and entertaining and I always look at how you make your video, lighting, setup, ect... if you ever start a mastermind group let me know were I can apply 😉✌. Thanks for the #inspiration !! Cheers ! ✌✌✌🇨🇦✌✌✌
Thanks brotha!
Inspirational stuff - (fellow beardsman here!) I have been following you since you were under 10K subs! (on my personal account!) Question - what lens are you using? SO much bokeh but you're not super close to the camera - is it like a 16mm f1.7? Love pretty much all your content, from pumpkin bread, to the clear ice, you have a gift mate.
I laughed at the end there jeremy real quick siers added 2 more points 🤣 JK buddy loved the video im considering starting a channel myself and this video was helpful so thanks
😉
Great video as always, I liked the intro seeing the time transition 🤙hopefully I can use these tips to help my channel
brilliant video very informative and inspiring for people that are looking to get into youtube so keep up the good work
Your story is great brother, thanks for sharing it. I make motorcycle videos and it’s more for the hobby of it, but I’m sitting at 3k subs now! Your content is great though. Sorry about the lay off but seems to have worked out for you! 👍🏽🙏🏽
Really great advice , I’m new to TH-cam and I’m def sticking to what I enjoy. I have way more fun doing it that way and I’ve definitely got better from my first upload.
Dude, do a chair review video, thinking about those long hours working!
Solid counsel, Jeremy! 😁👊🏾
Let's all take these steps and make our channels grow consistent!
I've just checked out your channel. You deserve way more subscribers!!

Great advice dude as per usual, love the content!
Hi Jeremy, I am a new subscriber. I am in love with your taste in video making. you talk, but, the aesthetics of site design is simply brilliant. I would love to pick your brain how it works when it comes to set design, lighting, and your thoughts or how you iterated to your current equipment. big fan with a lot of respect, from India.
Loved it, appreciated it👏🏿. Keep creating, peace and blessings b more.✊🏿
Great video! Always fun to watch and learn..especially learn in this one. thanks!
At 2:00 your monitor speaker behind you on the desk looked like a enlarged Wyze Cam for a second. I did a triple take trying to figure it out. I was like, maybe it's a 3D printed item to look like a large Wyze cam.,
very useful information in this video, cheers
Awesome information my brother!!! When are the glassware coming...can't wait to get some rocks glasses with manshit or leaf and barrel on them😂
Got some new hand blown glasses in the works now. Should be more Glens in stock any day now. 😉👍🏻
