My 6 Month Journey to YouTube Monetization!
I’m finally monetized on YouTube, and I wanted to let everyone know about my journey in hopes this would help you!
My Background:
• I’m a full time technology consultant at Accenture for two years at this point. My intention was to never be a full time YouTuber/podcaster and it will stay that way.
• I started YouTube seriously in May 2020.
• I started monetizing on YouTube on December 7th.
• I did one video a week up until July when I started doing two videos a week.
• I started a Facebook group in June called the Technology Consulting Community. There are currently 1000+ members. I post only my tech consulting related videos, but I also started exclusive programs like case interview programs, pro bono consulting programs, virtual networking events.
• My niche has evolved over time. It first started with just technology consulting and professional development. It has now evolved more towards “content for the young working professional” with a focus on technology consulting, career skills, personal development, and money.
• I also started a podcast starting in October. Video interviews are on YouTube, audio interviews hosted on Anchor. There are also podcast exclusives that can’t be found on YouTube.
These are not all of my tips, but comment down below on yours!
Mistakes in the Workplace
I’ve made my fair share of mistakes that at first seem harmless but can have much bigger negative impacts in the workplace! Either to clients, your team, or even yourself!
I notice the more work and stress I get, the more mistakes I’m prone to. Unfortunately, even mistakes in your respective areas that you didn’t make are still your responsibility and I learned that this week.
What are some mistakes you made at work?
How I Manage My Time
So many people wonder how I manage my time with a full time job in technology consulting, being serious about my YouTube channel, podcast, and the Technology Consulting Community while staying sane and prioritizing my mental and emotional health.
What were some of your tips on how you manage your time?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! This is a year to give thanks and appreciate for just existing. No matter where you are, what you’re facing, acts of gratitude are important.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Compare yourself to yourself, not to anyone else!
From career success to job offers to grades and GPA to relationships and social standings, there is always something people envy from others.
It’s important to your mental and emotional health not to compare yourself other people often. To benchmark and set goals against other people is healthy, but to constantly beat yourself because you’re not progressing as fast is not healthy.
Value yourself more, acknowledge your situation, and set PERSONAL goals on your own pace. It’s more fun and you’ll be happier!
Technology Consulting Community Discord Server
The Technology Consulting Community at this point seems to be catered more to college students and aspiring technology consultants. I hope to engage the existing technology consultants and to add another layer of fun, we’re starting a Discord server!

2021 is coming. Are you ready?
2020 definitely sucked. No doubt about it. SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED that brought in a lot of negativity. But let’s also look at all the positivity. A fight for change, resilience and triumph, perseverance and ambition. I’ve seen many amazing fruits born from this year despite the dirt being soiled.
It’s important to recognize that this year definitely was not an easy year. But it’s also important not to undermine all the efforts you and those around you have done to overcome these struggles.
If there is something holding you back or something you’ve been wanting to do, why not do it now?
