  Very helpful and motivating advice for small creators! The focus on retention, longer videos, live streams, and giving older content a second life is especially useful. Staying consistent and positive really makes a difference. Wishing every creator success in reaching their goals!

  Hey Torey. Great ideas, We are in the same boat, we need about 1200 hours. We are pushing out more videos. We just spend the week in Southern Oregon and Northern California. We will have those videos coming soon. I will go back through your older videos and catch up! We are here to help! <br>Shorts help us get new subscribers. The short I released to night got me 2 new subs.

  I’m glad my vintage video idea got mentioned. I honestly only do it in my weeks with no new videos. But if I ever start posting weekly, I may keep it up. My old videos have been earning a couple dollars apiece already.

  I am definitely interested in longer videos. Twenty to twenty-five minutes is great. I WILL sit through and watch it attentively! I LOVE your drone footage and am amazed at how you never seem to get caught in the trees, etc. I would be so concerned about that happening to me that I&apos;d never use the darn thing! I love camping but am unable to do so since having a stroke in 2022 that left me partially paralyzed. Watching your footage makes me feel happy and reminds me of what was. I have no illusions about ever being able to camp again. Living vicariously through you and others is the closest I&apos;ll come in my new reality. Thanks!

  I’ve also felt the impact of the recent YouTube news and the 2027 monetization changes. It definitely makes the climb to this goal a little longer, but I love your strategy and how you keep adapting, improving, and finding new ways to create.<br><br>I’m not personally a camping fan, but I love seeing how others make camping, van life, and life on the road work. You’ve got a new subscriber! 🎉
