To be fair Tom I wasn't moaning about money - I was just pointing out it's quite difficult to make it on RU-vid - I made mine elsewhere. May I direct you towards the small print at the start of the video here? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G0S6bZEz5lc.htmlsi=RYHJgL2DVnTE20Lv&t=2 you may be interested in points 1, 3, 5 and 9 - all the best!

Thanks for this. I often wonder what RU-vidrs make. A lot of ‘work’ for not much pay, but I totally agree with @col1600 and others… If you love what you do, it’s not work. And we get to enjoy the fruits of your labour. You may have done this already, but if so, I haven’t seen it… a video of what editing equipment and software you use. And maybe a quick look at your process. I’ve made a few videos over the years. They always turn out fine, considering that I don’t know what I’m doing. Every time I do one, I have to figure out how to do everything all over again - I’ve done so few. I’ve recently purchased a tutorial for iMovie, so am in the process of actually learning to edit. But I doubt I’ll ever do what you’re doing. I really don’t want to work that hard. I love to ride, travel on my bike, take photos and videos. One of these days I’ll sit down and put an edit together. Anyway, this didn’t start out to be a novel. Sorry for rambling. My wife and I enjoy your videos. Judy, especially loves your tours, as do I. Keep up the good work.

I agree. To be as transparent as Andy is about his YT earnings isn't something most people would do. This might not be of great benefit to Andy (aside from a few views) but it will be for wannabe YTers. Hopefully this kind of altruism adds a bit to the pleasure you get out of producing so much great content Andy. It's a shame YT can't measure and monetise based on the quality of and the value people get from posts. If they could you'd be earning what you deserve (i.e. a lot more). Please don't burn out like other YTers we've heard about, ride safe and generally take care of yourself and those that you love. (Blatant plagiarism of @TeapotOne at the end there!).

I look forward to your next video. My one suggestion - more Biker Scran w/ Geoff and Dan, please - those are my favorite videos. I was sad to only get two Biker Scran videos last year and I hope the weather and circumstances will lead to more of them this year. Having a job/career that brings one happiness is the ideal, yet so few can or do achieve that, and I congratulate you on having made it happen for you.

@JayandSarah 4 месяца назад

It absolutely is a real job, and a very good one... but it's like anything where you are self employed, you need motivation and to stick with it... and you need to be good at what you are doing. Most result in failure or giving up before it happens. What you do need is enough money to survive on to get you through the time where you build the business in most cases. If you already have a 9-5 job, that doesn't allow you much time to focus on the other part. That's just my opinion on it all.

In music it’s called GAS , Gear Acquisition Syndrome , basically the afflicted …lust after hardware that is related to their passion / hobby . It’s the thrill of the chase , doing the research on the next guitar, the next bike , the next helmet . Going to the bike shops , watching the you tube reviews , dreaming of the latest and greatest piece of hardware . But one thing I know ..we are seldom satisfied . That’s why shows like this are great , you can experience the thrill of someone showing you how great the new bikes are , instead of on a whim going for a test ride and having to sell a organ or two to fund the new purchase . I gave up drinking , smoking , betting a few years ago …have two great bikes , and have spent a third of what I wasted money on in the past . Motorcycling like music is pure .

Just a big thank you for all the humorous, informative, and clever content you, and of course Mrs Flyer create. It just shows people who create videos do it for the love. I always suspected that was the case. Once again thank you.

Great insight and appreciate the honesty. I’m glad you enjoy making great content which we do appreciate. Keep up the good work.

Excellent exposition. This is what I have been told, but to hear it from such a hard-working RU-vidr with excellent productions, we all appreciate the complete analysis.

Well done for sharing this, Andy, as you didn’t have to. I’ve said it before, but your good humoured vids kept me sane throughout lockdown. Your trip to Norway was responsible for my own a couple of years later. And your recent Japan series has inspired me to do the same later this year. Quite literally, you have changed my life. “Thank you” doesn’t come close.

Very interesting Andy, I never realised it would take so much of your time to run your channel and it's very refreshing to hear a RU-vidr being so honest about past and present income. Keep up the good work and I hope your channel continues to go from strength to strength

Been subscribed for a few years now. Great content (even taking us up for a flight). You always read and acknowledge the comments which is excellent and make comments on them (not just liking them like many others). Keep up the good work.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 месяца назад

Thanks - I try too but it's getting very difficult - I've spent over 5 hours so far today just reading and answering the comments on this video (and it's only lunchtime!!) ....I'm not complaining though.

Thank you for sharing Andy! The grass always appears green on the other side is an old saying but so so accurate. Everything appears easy till one has to do it. Have been enjoying watching your channel and will continue to do so. All the best for the future. Cheers

I appreciate your hard work. I have followed you for about three and a half years. I live vicariously through your channel, as I have been unable to ride for four years at the end of this month. I had to have my left leg amputated do to a major infection which ended my riding career. I really enjoy your stories and your trips that you and Mrs. Flyer take. I like seeing your take on the magazine articles on new bikes and the bike companies. And who doesn't love riding out and meeting old friends for a good lunch now and then. Keep up the good work, enjoy life while you have the oportunity.

Thank you james - so sorry your biking was ended that way :0(

I'm so sorry to hear about your leg, occasionally I have someone with a prosthetic leg on the back of my bike, (they really hang on!)... I wish you the very best...

Glad you're sticking with it mate. You seem like a pretty shrewd business man. Smart to not having more than one iron in the fire. Its a bloody good channel too mate.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 месяца назад

Cheers Kevin - my basket has a number of eggs in it that are nowt to do with this channel ;0)

@pistolpete6321 4 месяца назад

That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing. I had no idea how much time it takes and how little money you actually make. I think I’ll stick to my day job! Glad you love doing it because I truly enjoy and value your videos.

@11thHourRecords 4 месяца назад

Big thanks for your channel - the rewards will grow in time and what a blessing to have work you love.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 месяца назад

Yes that is for sure - doing something I enjoy is more important to me than making loads of money at this stage of my life.

@andrewkenyon8289 4 месяца назад

I got back into biking because of your channel in 2014, so thank you for that! I may well be down on cash over the last 10 years due to bike purchases but, I'm up on happiness!

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 месяца назад

That is awesome!

@grahamhiggins1 4 месяца назад

Appreciate the frankness and transparency, I’ve watched since the early days. You put so many hours in for not a great deal in return financially. And above all, honest reviews of bikes. There are so many channels which seem compelled to say amazing things about the bikes they’re reviewing, because they fear getting dropped by the manufacturer. Editorial independence is king and you stick to that.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 месяца назад

I very much try to Graham - it's why I don't go to bike launches or "media days"

@sweetrides8418 4 месяца назад

Very useful information, and much appreciated. I have watched many similarly advertised videos before, but seldom do they make sense or deliver. Your video was clear and to the point. I started a small channel a couple of years ago and have always wondered if and when people actually get something back. Keep up the good work 😀

@rodneybarcus2233 4 месяца назад

It’s the best thing to be able to do something that you love as a hobby and get paid for it. For the amount of time and work you must put into your channel you do bring a huge amount of joy and knowledge to the motorcycle community globally. Thank you Andy! Look forward another honest update on this topic when your subscriptions hit a million! In the meantime keep em coming! You’re a legend!

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 месяца назад

Wow thank you very much - not sure I'll ever reach a million subs but I'll keep on trying!

@bikerglory1815 4 месяца назад

No need to explain Andy. What you receive in income from RU-vid, is your business, but thanks for the openness and honesty. What we as bikers receive from your channel in return, is a highly entertaining and informative service, so keep up the great work as always.

@jamesflood521 4 месяца назад

So many of us enjoy your content, I certainly do. And I thank you for continuing to do it.

@jordylad69 4 месяца назад

Keep up the good work Andy, I have enjoyed the ride so far. Having have been a subscriber since around 2015 when I bought my 2015 R1200GS, I have learned many things from you and have installed many of the same accessories and loved all 50,000 miles on my GS. Here's to the next 9 years with you....cheers

@juddadam2 4 месяца назад

Definitely one of my go to channels for motorcycle reviews and always look forward to bike content. We all should do reply videos of how many bikes we've bought because of your channel lol. Cheers

@user-wv5lr7so6k 4 месяца назад

Really good info, I’ve often wondered how easy or not it is to make a living on this!! Really enjoy your work, especially as I was based at RAF High Wyc in the early 90s and recognise a lot of the roads and villages you get to. Thanks for your valued info on bikes etc.
