My plan, buy every cheap, crappy, broken motorcycle I can find, spend endless amounts of money and time away from work, upgrading and rebuilding said motorcycle, breaking half your tools in the process, and having to buy the other half new for the ones you don't have, followed by lending out said motorcycle, with it's associated repairs, then sell said motorcycle for a quarter of what you have into it. Then, rinse and repeat...... lol
It's so true! But what you lose in money you make up for in ridiculously good times! I'm not sure there's another person alive that loves fixing and tinkering with motorcylces as much as you do... and the bikes you build are truly works of art!
lol it was bugging me to death! It only fell out twice (off camera) and gave me a solid realization that the pack I was using to carry it wasn't a good purchase.
@@eveRide hi the ogio funny pack that you are using have a place to put the bottle of water i think the left zip bag, did you try it? Great videos you are making my quarentene lot better
Your channel should be called 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycling' - it has a real philosophical virb to it - at least 50% of the content I would guess. It is probably just part of your personality rather than construed but it is a aspect I really like.
If you get really good at photography and cinematography along with editing, you can make a portfolio and expand into other things like events etc. I know a few guys who make quite a bit just filming events and doing editing.
Good info. Thanks. Trying to figure out how to move from working 7 days a week, to doing more if this. Have a tiny youtube channel started, help run a FB group you Amy habe heard of the PNWDSR... volunteering for events like Touratech Rally up where this month. Just getting more involved in the sport as a whole is kinda of where im starting. To get my face out there. Helping out the BDR geouos when ever I can. Working on members of the FB groups bikes for free. Have rebuilt 5 DRZ's for free. Recent one I did a full stroker kit to...cost for my labor?.....zero. I give them a taste of my work, and they always come back later and offer to pay. So im trying to become likw the first guy I ever follower on youtube...this guy Tyler is southern Utah....lol. Keep em coming.
In my experience, the video equipment bought for RU-vid is much more profitable being used making videos for others, which is something I never planned on.
Wait, you're in the badlands as in South Dakota? Shows how much I pay attention 😂 dude I'll join your patreon page I go riding out there every single year and have since I was 4. I'd love to ride with you and show me some real trails cause I can never find good ones. Not this year since I had to sell the dirtbike, but I'll still be taking my cruiser and my Ducati out to the black hills this fall, might be fun to meet up!
Heck yeah man! That would be fun to ride, but I'm not in SD ;) I just call the desert around me here in Southern Utah the badlands. Apparently there are a few places ACTUALLY called the Badlands in SD and New Mexico... but I think the generic term fits for my area since not much grows :) So hey if you're in Utah let me know!
You are absolutely right. I miss teaching almost every day, and at times it's been hard thinking that I transitioned from doing something that made a big difference to something that is just "entertainment." Even though I'm doing my "dream job" now, I want to go back and volunteer at my old school's special ed department. When I get a little more time I think I will.
Your intent is to make motorcycle videos,but I think you are doing something more.Maybe when people see what a good person you are it might rub off on a few of them.Also your wr is sweet man.
Haha oh I've already been snagged! Usually it doesn't knock me off if it gets caught in the shrubby desert bushes around here... but it gets close at times. I'm just glad there aren't a lot of trees ;)
I really want to come out and ride with you guys im currently modding out my 2018 drz400sm with knobbies. bought and sold a beta 500 not for me. Drz400 is all the bike I need. Let me know how I can hook up with the group and ride.

I'll have to get those available to everybody really soon. Right now it's just a friends and family thing, but we're in the works to make them available for anybody who wants them. :) Thanks for your interest!
Hey Tyler! I would love to learn more about the ways you earn a living on RU-vid. I am desperately looking for ways other than adsense to support our family. I have recently started uploading some stock footage to Adobe Stock as well as others. Do you have any sites you would stay away from? Would you mind letting us know percentage wise what your breakdown of income is? Example, Adsense = 25% , Stock Footage is 20%, Patreon 50%, other 5%.
Hey eveRide...for someone interested in several of the above - i.e. renting a bike from you, maybe paying you to take on a tour, place to stay, etc....how would I get hold of you?
Don't forget those none patreon, I am sure all those patreons were not patreon to start with. Like any business, you need to give a lot to get a little :-) . Not all of us could afford to give a little
Nice video and I watching all your videos and keep it up even for cheapies like me that only watch on RU-vid because it's free.... A rubber bungy cord attached to your camera pole from your right hip will stop it flopping it around and still allow you to pull it to your side for an angle change... you are welcome for the free tip. hahahahaha
I love you man but I think you are wrong on the professional content , video editing a poor story doesn't make it better , content is king. and pure luck , like that video that dirbike channel put on going down on a slick rock , 1.2 mil views .. :D well I'm the Walmart of videos, the 99 cent , a million of them, 1 views a day , 1 million views a day :D simple math !
Pure luck is right! And yeah volume is a good way to go, especially with adsense and affiliate sales! The more quarters you feed the machine, the more chances you have to hit it big. RU-vid doesn't care AT ALL about decent content. However I do think viewers do.
I think its also the demographics of your viewers? The younger vloggers have the #'s, because they have that main, young audience? (8-28-ish?) I ran cross a channel by some kid named Tanner Fox...no idea who he is, but has like 3 million subs?...folks like 'us' are 'old' and won't be relatable to those youngins. We watch vids of you and others like you, like those Herman and CDS fellers....'cause we like the adventures and scenery and love riding. Oh...and your voice is oh, so soothing.... :D
It's a difficult profession to be in... that's why you see a lot of motovloggers either bail on it or try to monetize somehow because it's a LOT of work. Why did Halfthrottle quit? Because he had a family to support and wasn't making money at it. Why did Accidental Broadcast slow down? Because he was investing thousands of hours and still losing money. You can guarantee that my channel would be gone, too, if it wasn't for the patrons. Nobody can work for free; the videos definitely aren't free to make, so you either let the channel die, let your family starve, or you "sell out" and allow people to voluntarily support your videos so they can remain free for everybody else, even the ones who get something for nothing then complain about "selling out."
babur.karaoglu What have you done for the motovlogging community? Where are your free professional quality videos produced on a regular basis? All you do is click & breath, & apparently try to make people feel bad for providing food & shelter for their families rather than providing free entertainment for ungrateful people like you. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Great video as always. My 10yo son has been going on about wanting to become a pro youtuber. My advise has always been "not that easy/straight forward". I sent this sent to him back me up which it obviously has (thanks heaps). Subscribed to your channel as i am a dual sport rider hear down under (BMW G650 GS) and enjoy no nonsense content which you always deliver. Your efforts much appreciated😊
This is such a great video. My dream is to make a living from motorcycles one day and these were all points that I can definitely use to make that dream a reality. I'm happy to be a new subscriber of yours. And I love your content so far. Keep doing what you are doing man 👌
Maybe be the camera guy,phoptographer of european MTB marathon championchip and the only one of 20 guys riding enduro in a nature reserve and been payed for ha ha!
Hey man, I am stationed at Tyndall AFB in Florida... I have been debating reaching out for a long time in hopes of riding with you! How would I go about booking with you? I have my own bike and gear that I would truck out that way!
My U-Tube channel Sucks. But that's alright. Just thought I'd suggest putting a wee windsock on your swivel-cam. May help keep it rearward and make it small enough to still let it swing around when your at lower speeds. Keep up the good videos.
I have been watching your videos for a while and would love to ride around some of the areas you ride in. So if you actually do tours and rent space to stay (and keep a couple bikes), I may actually be interested :)
Great video. Really appreciate the tips. I'm in the process of starting a monetized RU-vid channel to help me fund my riding habit. Also looking for other income sources and your tips are really helpful. Thanks for the videos. You've been an inspiration to me give it a shot and follow my riding dreams. I'm going on a big ride in August from Vancouver BC Canada on the Pacific Ocean to Tuktiutuck North West Territories on the arctic Ocean and will be documenting on my channel. Keep up the good work. If Your ever in the out in the Pacific northwest and need a garage and a bed to crash in let me know. Cheers, Fraser Valley Adventure Riders.
I think the most amazing thing about this video is that your water bottles survived. I was having anxiety issues the whole time just waiting for them to fall. Hahaha! Jokes aside....excellent video and thank you for sharing. I have been watching you since your klr paint job video and loved every minute since.
have you considered being a tour guide or event manger for a ride for your subscribers who want to ride together....that would be interesting to see that in a video.
Looks like your helmet has an interior sun visor, but I don't see it in the helmet info through the link. Did I miss something? Sorry! I am interested in a new helmet with the sun shield....thanks very much!
id suggest changing the title slightly. instead of 'for' use 'from.' I planned to watch this since this morning and didn't know it was about making money off of motorcycling I thought it was a way to save and set aside to buy motorcycle stuff.
