A lot of You Tubers also kickstart the monetization by doing live streams...its a lot easier that way to reach the watched hours cap I guess! Also I heard, you should try to make the episones a bit over 10 minutes, because its better if you want to put adds!  Might be something for the future though?

Great show, professional, educational and entertaining!!

Actually he’s right. A lot of video creators do live streams and use the recorded content in their final production.

Have you thought of just turning on a live stream and build? Make mistakes and learn / people love that. Think how many times in my live streams that I had to fix plugins or write code. You learn a lot from that and people see the real you

I'll look into live streaming. Prolly wont happen for this build as I'm three episodes ahead of the show, for purposes of padding time for 3d prints etc. I will always be 3 to 4 episodes ahead of the broadcasted show. So maybe its streaming an unrelated build. Would be fun and makes since that you can get your watched hours. Do that a couple times and should be able to reach that 4000 hour mark quickly. I'm at about 600 now. Great tip.

I knew the first episode would be under 10 as it was just as an introduction and the frame. The second episode is massive in comparison. By pushing past the 10 minute mark Youtube allows you to add in 2 ads instead of one doubling your ad revenue (when you are monetized).  That's the reason alot of people ramble on or repeat themselves on their videos so they can to reach that magic 10 minute mark. Fortunately i just have alot of info and footage to show.

A little late to comment, but I watched it and really enjoyed it.  You are a very good presenter.
