Why I Started YouTube at 73 (And How Much They Paid Me)

Video

Video Description

In this video, I'm sharing why I started a YouTube channel as a solo retiree and how I was monetized and began earning money in 8 weeks at age 73.

I didn’t plan to be a content creator, but my search for a way to combine my creativity with intentional living led me to consider it. I talk about how I overcame my fear of the camera, how I prepared for filming, the early learning curve, and the many benefits being a YouTube creator has brought me — not the least of which is you, my wonderful community!

Learn how you can start your own channel with just a phone, a low budget, and zero tech skills. Whether you're looking for a new retirement hobby or curious about how to make money on YouTube later in life, I hope my story gives you the permission to start your own channel. Thank you so much for watching.

❤️ Tobi
