    An authentic look into how much money I made on TH-cam in 2023. This includes how much TH-cam paid me directly and affiliate marketing as well. In this video we get into why we have not taken any sponsorships, the varying performance of long vs short format content, the challenges many you tubers face throughout the year, were we profitable, and should you get into youtube.

    Thanks. I'm considering starting a TH-cam channel and this was very helpful. I have a full time day job so I really don't care about the money as much as the challenge of creating content. Bought a couple of cameras, I have a CNC and I started playing around with Davinci Restore. I plan on doing one video per month and we'll see how it goes this year. Keep up the videos and especially about content creation.

      @@cutting-it-close My biggest struggle right now is finding the cut off point between purchasing pre-finished lumber or investing in the tools I'd need to finish it myself. A $500 planer is a serious investment for a garage/hobby level shop with limited time and floor space. Tips related to how you move from making a couple items for friends to a small production shop would be great. Workflow, organization, mail-order, etc.

    • @cutting-it-close
      @cutting-it-close  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Okay, I will keep that in mind for sure. Moving over to a planer is just a math game, figure out the difference in what you would pay if you were to get it rough vs finished, take that difference and multiply that by the BF of lumber you are going to use in a year, and see if it is justifiable. If it saves you 1000K a year then it is a no brainer. That planer should last you a decent amount of years as well.

    I've been following you ever since I watched your manstand video. I've been in the woodworking since I was a little kid I used to help my my grandpa out in the wood shop make everything from Piggy 😂Banks to quilt racks. Unfortunately he passed away right after my 15th birthday and with him being gone Grandma decided to not sell the woodcrafts anymore. Even though I tried to talk Grandma into letting me take over. She thought it was too dangerous for me to do.Also with my lack of running the big saws and equipment she was probably right. So recently in the last 7 years I've been fighting cancer go to no longer drive semi truck so I've been slowly trying to get back into woodcrafting. And after watching some of your videos I've decided that that's what I would like to do. Thank you for all your videos and helping to motivate me in the right direction.

    Great video and insights! I’m curious if you’ve seen an increase in your sales for your woodworking and coolers as a result of your TH-cam videos? Would the TH-cam loss be offset by an increase in sales?

  • @andrewdunbar6959
    @andrewdunbar6959 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Just a tip, I myself find that your shorts are usually CNC based. I don't watch those because I don't have a CNC, so I find no value in videos like that. I do like your thoughts on sponsorships. I have seen too many woodworking creators who don't even do woodwork anymore because they have switched to TH-cam income because of sponsorships. It's sad. Thank you for putting out great content and keeping the rest of us dreaming for bigger things in woodworking.

    • @cutting-it-close
      @cutting-it-close  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for that comment about the shorts, that helps me, I will keep that in mind while I am making them. I am going to try to stay away from sponsorships as much as possible.

    Great video. You mention in Jan 1 2023 you had 28k subscriber so you video title is a bit misleading. Not in a bad way though. You did not make $21k throughout 2023 with 80k subscribers. You made $21k as you climbed from 29k to 80k subscribers. I look forward to seeing the follow up video in 2025! Keep the momentum going.
