We Monetized Our YouTube Channel in 78 Days! | Over 50 YouTubers

Three months ago we launched a brand new YouTube channel with a goal to get monetized on YouTube in under 90 days. To reach this goal, we needed to get 1,000 subscribers and at least 4,000 hours of watch time. As over 50 YouTubers, we had no idea how to achieve this goal. But we laid out a simple beginner YouTube strategy to increase views, earn subscribers, build watch hours, and go viral. 78 days later we achieved our goal and got monetized on YouTube. In this video we share our behind-the-scenes experience of how to start a YouTube channel over 50 and get monetized in under 90 days. Feel free to drop any questions in the comments and be sure to subscribe for more content about living abroad, remote work, and travel over 50. To everyone who liked a video, subscribed, shared a video and left a comment THANK YOU!! We could not have reached this goal without you. đź”— LINKS: Here are links to tools we mentioned in this video.

As we approached the traditional retirement age, we realized we had no desire to retire. But we didn’t want to put off our dreams of living abroad and traveling the world, either. We decided to unretire abroad. We live on the Silver Coast of Portugal and work remotely. Subscribe to our channel for more content about expat life, remote work, and travel and adventure over 50.
