From Jobless to 100k Subscribers + My YouTube Earnings 

Originally from? New Zealand RU-vid channel? MegaLag Subscribers? 110k Hotel? Trivago.

You’re just insane! Your Quality is better than most of the other famous RU-vidrs! Keep up the good work

Send airtags, samsung smart tags, and tile in one parcel to how many times you get location updats for each of them.

If Germany doesn’t allow you to work there, you can come to Bulgaria. It’s also a EU member country and with your earnings so far you can buy a property, car, hire an assistant and rent a office.

i remember seeing your first video and, I loved that it. Then i clicked your channel to watch your other videos, and i saw that you had little subscribers and only one video, i was amazed. You have a natural talent for making these awesome videos that are fun to watch. The fact that you got to 100k with like 7 videos is insane. A some people work years to try to get 100k subscribers. Keep up the good work and you’ll be at a mil in no time!

Congrats man, you have such an inspiring story and you listen to your fan base. Honestly you deserve so many more subs! So glad I joined this amazing community!

Chill likeable host + superior production values + interesting topics...your success is as unsurprising as it is warranted. Great channel👍

I remember watching that first vid. You are a natural on camera and, as others keep stating, the production quality keeps people engaged. No matter where this channel pivots or what type of content you make, I'll be here.

Hi, I love your content. I can't wait to see another update on the packages. Congrats jono

I've been here since your first vid. I do not know how but i knew you were gonna be big but i also knew that you needed support. I recommended your video to a lot of people and was supportive in the comments. I know every bit helps so I'm glad i did my bit. Congratz you deserve it

Congratulations 🎉 I remember subscribing and then looking for your other videos, just to find out you had only two videos on your channel. I couldn't believe it and thought you may be one of those channels that steals high quality content from others to make money 😅 Your content is really awesome, well produced, entertaining, and your calm voice is just nice to listen to. You really deserve this success! I hope you're allowed to stay (and work) here 🤞

Been lovin' your content thus far! Even this video is very well made and entertaining. Looking forward to what else you got cooking in the coming months!

I think it’s the consistency in your work. Sometimes I see some text that’s in a dumb font and I stop watching their videos but your font is good. Everything is the same type and I love it. Do what you love

Congratulations for your success!! *This is just the beginning*

No, it is not weird for your channel to be 110K in 4 months. Quality of the vids are insane (from the first one to the last one). You deserve it! Congrats!

Your channel grew up so fast!! You make interesting and fun content. I'd love to know what will happen later with a lot more subscribers!! Keep going!!

I think the reason your channel blew up so fast is that your first video was engaging and very well made, and all of your videos thereafter look to be really creative. You play the part of an experienced youtuber very well. I just discovered your channel today with the N Korea vids. I subscribed and look forward to your future content. Best of luck to you

Your quality is awesome. That is why i subbed! Good stuff.

Congratulations 🎉 dude, love your videos and great to see your success !

Your channel is awesome. Thank you so much for the content!

You definitely deserve all of your subscribers. It is easy to see why you’ve blown up so quickly! Been amazing seeing you grow so quickly, keep up your great quality videos!!

I found out about your videos and I love them! Congratulation on 100k in such a short amount of time! I think moving on, you should make more videos about Apple accessories and other tech accessories.

Love your videos , the way you talk and present it. Following you since you had 3k subscribers. I knew that you’d hit 100k easily with your talent!!

Because of your initial air tag video, I started using the air tag in my more expensive shipments. I tried one package so far and it worked like a charm. The customer was kind enough to pop the postage paid tracker in the mail to get back to me. The places these packages see are very interesting.

From now it only goes uphill, keep up the work and the growth will keep going more and more

I love your channel! Can’t wait for more videos!!

Stoked for you man! That's exciting.

You’ve smashed this RU-vid thing dude! Keep up the great content!

Hi mate, absolutely love your content, can't wait for more unique vids. Congrats on 100K subscribers and thanks a ton for answering my question!!

Very nice! You're also very natural in front of the camera, that makes us also more comfortable watching you. Keep up with the good work!

Your personality has definitely helped you gain a legitimate following... keep up the good work

I subscribed because of your unique airtag idea and of course a very good flow and production video. Can't believe you have only less than 10 videos

so much love from ghana west africa .i am just the 3rd video from the jackerry solar office to levels of autonomous cars and am loving it so far. keep it up.would love to watch your studio tour.

It is amazing how you got so many subscribers so quickly so congrats on 100k have a great life

I subscribed for the unmasked and natural way of talking. Keep it up.

Its super fun supporting you and the amazing content, the discord is also amazing!

as a fellow düsseldorfer, congrats man!

Congrats I remember seeing your video in my recommended to me where you sent Airtags to North Korea, Elon Musk and Tim Cook, after that I got really in your videos, Keep up the good work.

*Your Coolness and uniqueness made you great at YT* . Keep making GREAT videos 🤘🏻

I remember getting recommended your videos a couple months ago (I think there was only 3 videos then) and was surprised at the production quality of your videos. great job man!! cool hearing about your prior job at trivago, that experience probably helped a lot. keep doing what you do! you're awesome at it

Here since 4K subs! Really appreciate your content, its all very interesting!

Just love your story and video content. Keep it coming ;-)

God bless you bro ! May you reach 1 million soon.

I absolutely love your channel MegaLag! Will definitely stick around :)

Keep up the great work with your videos, thanks for being transparent, and congrats on the quick success here on RU-vid! :)

Loved the Vid @MegaLag! Thanks for including my question!!!

It’s cool to see how RU-vidrs just growing so fast and making more and more videos

Your content is quality. You are making it because you make great quality. Keep at it, I'm sure you will sort the visa issues soon enough.

Thank you for answering my question!

Thanks for the behind the scenes!

Well done mate, I knew from the first video you would take off.

Congrats man! You’re awesome

Sweet! As one of those subscribers, I have to say it's nice to see how life has changed for you. Fun fact: About 10 years ago I did your move in the opposite direction. I moved from Germany to New Zealand, initially without a plan. Then I came up with the idea of opening a running school. However, I hadn't really pursued my idea seriously, so I came back to Germany. Anyways, I'm excited about the content you'll be posting here in the future. All the best wishes.

congrats man, hope you reach 1 mil soon

Congratulations!! Man I’m on my way to get this also!

This is crazy. I remember watching your first video when it came out, and you only had a couple thousand subscribers. Your channel took off so fast, and I can’t believe how much you blew up.

Congrats Man! love your content😘

You deserve the success When I first saw your videos I was surprised how u had 50k-ish subscribers I subscribed immediately, I mean the quality of the videos are so good and your voice is relaxing and satisfying at the same time Thanks for the amazing content, MegaLag

OMG! I just found you and recognised the accent immediately. You have to come back home to NZ over OZ, you don't want to catch that twang they have. It's your voice and solid research that has made me sub. Arohanui from home

Its just your skills man, you all had has caught in your spell ever since the original air tags video. Keep up the good work!

It is astonishing how fast you have grown!

Your earnings story is interesting enough for its own video. Maybe do one if you get your freelance visa.

I'm impressed by the RPM you have. That's insane. And Congrats to 100k Subscribers. :)

Hi, I am from Pakistan I found your channel when air tags were launched. I really like your content as its one of its kind I can see a very bright future ahead of you mate keep up the good work!

Happy to be the part of early subscriber.

Glad to see a tech RU-vidr living in Düsseldorf..keep up the good work

Hey Jonno - congrats on the 100k; job well done. Given that YT traffic is based around click thru and subscriptions (and advertising); perhaps you could do another air tag video where you’d send some air tags to subscribers all over the world (video all these) then track them heading to the various destinations; then the subscribers could make videos of their own receiving the airtags - and perhaps could do something fun with them their end before they return them back and you could track that also? All these would be more content for you to upload and for others to tag (hehe NPI) you in possibly on their own channel or just to send to you for uploading. Just an idea :)

You probably could do it for a month! Delivery and retail companies often start hiring a bunch of short-term casuals around this time of year in the lead up to Xmas.

The thing that caught my attention when I first saw your video was the retro-80s-vibe-intro. I was like "ooh, that is something refreshingly different"

You deserve each and every one of the subs.

Your channel name is so valuable alone. Plus your production quality and demeanor. You have so much insane potential for "long form" tech content of any kind. You will become a millionaire shortly. :)

Congrats on your channel! Love the why answer 😂

Always welcome back to OZ mate 👍🏻🇦🇺

Your production quality amazes me, especially compared to how short you've been making content. You kinda remind me of Brackeys.

Wow. Congrats on 100K!

Uhhhh you’re moving to davinci😍😍 nice as I already said I think it’ll definitely improve the colors although it already is pretty thick

I just love ur content it’s very interesting 😊

New subscriber I love your vibe man !

Keep up the great work! You're a cool guy!

Your Airtag videos have been great and may have given the channel a bit of a boost, but I'm sure the rapid growth is purely down to the really professional quality of your work. Why not get a job at DHL, then leave after a couple of months ...two birds, one stone! 😁 Congrats on the well-deserved 100K+ 👍

Hope all the best! Bureaucracy is a nightmare sometimes

Awesome videos very inspiring!

Cool success story. Seems like an algorithm boost. This is similar to winning the lottery though there is definitely some work involved Stay humble and don’t let the lure of the success change you.

Inspiring comments at the beginning Jono, tough times :)

you got my subscribe, great content

Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊

We love your content 🙌

Have been with you since your first video. You really got a good thing going- keep up the great work! Cheers from another expat in Germany (right next door in Cologne). BTW, I’ve had to deal with my fair share of German bureaucracy myself. Hit me up if there’s any advice I can give.

I love your channel!

Really interesting video! Very well done chad Jono. Although I really hope that you don’t have to leave Germany. Before that I’ll fight merkel that she gives you the necessary visa.

Is thatba Xiaomi Bedside Lamp 2 on your desk and in the background? also, great job on 100k so fast. Remarkable, and you seem like a genuinely fun person. :)

Congrats on the 100k man! RU-vid algorithm made me stumble across you at 70K and that already seemed crazy. Good to see fellow ex trv doing well!

Feels good knowing im one of the OGs of this amazing channel.

Can't wait to see airbags reviews will you try the 2006 Honda Fr-V airbag? Jokes apart keep up the good work and congrats

Wow. As someone that sometimes looks at internet content with rose-tinted glasses, I occasionally dabble with the idea of dropping everything and trying my hand at making some content to hope to "go big." See that you made roughly $22,000 in four months is incredibly grounding. By no means a small amount, but also not some magical lottery amount either. That amount comes out to about $5,500 a month. Which, I'm incredibly fortunate to say, is actually less than my own monthly salary. Now that I've seen these actual numbers side by side, I find myself feeling much more gracious for what I have, and also appreciative of the work you put in. So I guess what I'm saying is thank you.

This channel makes the best quality videos on RU-vid

Good video mate, hopefully, you'll get your freelance Visa. ♥️

Congrats man!

This is litreally insane, well done

Good luck love the content bro
