Any successful Indie-hacker youtube channels?

Just wondering if anyone has come across any good ones...

    Usually just the "gurus" . Everyone just wants to make a quick buck, sadly

      Seriously, it says everything about our society, lol

    I don't know of any but I wasn't looking for them but now I am curious.

      Just thought i'd circle back... Did my first vlog, have done a bunch of streams but more structured videos coming up soon. Would love any feedback :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTdDqYZmdKo&t=176s

      Haha, i'll be your first subscription :P. Just give me a week to put one up lol

    I think @wkwan, @florinpop17 and @bizz84 are successful at youtubing full time

      I do some work on YT but that’s primarily for growing my audience (made $1300 on ads last year). Most of my income comes from paid courses.

      Nice, will check out. Shout out to @wkwan - have definitely seen a few of his videos before - hilarious

    I would subscribe to one of them. So far, I'm trying to develop my channel, trying new video formats, using new equipment for shooting, and selecting more interesting topics for videos. There are no results yet, but I am not losing hope. My friends suggested that I use the smm panel if the situation does not change. I won't rush it yet and I'll be patient.

    I run a YouTube channel in my spare time where I make stock trading bots using Python and various financial data APIs:

    Pretty happy with the response so far and it gets around ~2-3k a month from ads/affiliates/donations. There is a very straightforward path for a developer to go full-time on something like this since you get many requests for consulting and you can naturally make an app and/or course around whatever niche/topic fits your interests. I like my day job though, so just something I do on weekends mostly. I think if you consistently post tutorial/project videos over the course of 3-4 years, you can find great success as a dev/educator on YouTube.

      AWesome. I definitely recognize @wcandillon by name from I think React Native tutorials?

      Thanks for mentioning! I've been making videos for quite some time but never really called myself YouTuber since I don't earn a lot directly through YT. But it's the channel that brings most people to my Ionic Academy!

        Man that's awesome, i'd love to see the channel... I just posted my first full vid, vlog format. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTdDqYZmdKo&t=176s. Would love feedback :)

          Here's the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZZPgUIorPao48a1tBYSDgg

          Your video looks great, awesome quality!

          1. 1

            Thanks! I checked out your channel - I subscribed & will check out some vids to learn a bit more about what Ionic is all about. Cheers!

      Thanks for the shoutout 🙋🏼‍♂️ I indeed probably wouldn't be making YouTube videos if it wasn't for this community.

        I appreciate how focused you are on everything React Native :). I was working on a project using it and watched a few of your videos, but ended up moving to a React PWA, so I don't see as many anymore.
