2 Years on YouTube... Still Not Monetized 🤷♀️
Is anyone else stuck trying to reach that magic 1,000 subscriber milestone? In this video I'm sharing my honest experience after nearly two years on YouTube as a travel creator. I started this channel in October 2024, and while I'm incredibly close to the watch hours needed for monetisation, reaching 1,000 subscribers has been far harder than I ever imagined. This isn't a video to complain—it's an honest conversation about the highs, the lows, the lessons I've learned, and why I still love creating travel content. If you're a small creator, I'd genuinely love to hear your story. How long have you been on YouTube? What's been your biggest challenge? Let's support each other in the comments. And if you enjoy travel, cruises, city breaks, festivals and honest travel vlogs, I'd love it if you joined me on the journey by subscribing. Every single subscriber really does make a difference. There are so many adventures still to come this year, including Scotland, Croatia, city breaks, festivals and our 30th Anniversary trip to beautiful Venice. Then next year we'll be setting sail on the adventure of a lifetime around Japan and South Korea! ❤️ Thanks so much for watching and supporting my little corner of YouTube. #SmallYouTuber #YouTubeGrowth #1000Subscribers #YouTubeJourney #NewYouTuber #TravelVlogger #TravelYouTuber #ContentCreator #YouTubeMonetization #TravelChannel #CreatorLife #HonestChat
