Where Your Donation Goes
🕑 Added 2025-04-16 00:59:14 +0000 UTCIn the 10 years I’ve been doing social media, I’ve almost never missed a week of posting because I’m so committed to giving you guys awesome free videos to watch.
Some creators put their videos behind a paywall, but I don’t do that because I want everyone to be able to watch my videos for free regardless of if they can afford to support the channel or not.
I don’t get many brand deals to help with my costs like other channels, but I don’t let that stop me.
If you can afford to support the channel with a few dollars every month, let me tell you what your money is used for, because your support helps everyone who watches the channel and it means the world to me.
I spend all the money you give on Patreon in two areas - my production costs and my team costs.
Production costs are things like:
My flight, hotel, and food costs when I go on trips to film. And I’m not flying first class or staying at 6-star hotels, just so you know. I try to keep it cheap.
The permits I pay to film at certain locations so you guys can see these locations. Sometimes I also need to pay to interview people on camera.
My camera and drone gear costs when I need to invest in new equipment to keep the video quality high.
Team costs are things like:
My editors who make these beautiful videos you all enjoy so much
My graphic designer who helps me make the cool thumbnails
My brand manager who helps me keep my business running behind the scenes
I’m not making enough money on Patreon right now to cover all that, but that is how I spend the money that I do get.
I currently have about 100 people giving on Patreon but my goal is to reach 1,000 to cover these production and team costs.
It sounds like a crazy goal, but if you’re able to support the channel and if you join, I know we can hit it.
I have a reward tier where for the price of a cup of coffee a week, you can get your name posted on the credits at the end of every video, so everyone can see your support. How cool is that?
You can also get free merch, access to our exclusive Discord community, private shoutouts, and more.
Please check out all the different tiers and see which one works best for you. You can cancel at any time if you need to.
Thank you so much! You guys are the best audience on YouTube!
