First upload around Jan 15th, 2026.

Average of 3 uploads per month since.

16 videos uploaded so far as of May 19th, 2026.

Stuck at 42 subs for 1.5 months and just now started to see some momentum. YT analytics tell me that I have 55 viewers who regular watch my stuff and that YT made this the seed audience.

It's telling me that I am at the beginning of Phase 2 "the breakout phase". According to YouTube and Google, the channel should start to pick up more momentum in the next few uploads.

Reached 58 subs so far. Hopeful that it will continue to climb gradually. Passing the 50 sub mark felt good becaI really thought it was going to be perpetually stuck in low 40s.

Any advice from channels who made it from 50 to 200-500 subs? I am humbly wanting to learn from you.

I asked not long ago if you guys knew of any interesting or uninteresting people around town who should be interviewed simply for the use of free will, to showcase their story and personalities, and for fun.

You guys were incredible and gave me 60+ recommendations. I cold messaged about 15 and 4 of them got back to me. Still working on scheduling or convincing three more (Shirtznpantz owners, Hippo Hardware, and Tommy Lasagna man) but it's not easy haha

I say in a non-serious way because I am not a news outlet nor an academic source. Just a random Joe with the intention of capturing real people being themselves and telling some of their story. I have been interviewing a lot of cool people and many more in the books. I have an infinite source of ideas right now but my full time job gets in the way of this passion project. Thanking you again for all the recommendations you gave me. I will reach out to more of them like the golf disc guy!

Anyway, here's my post and my channel's name is Pensantes (@brytheniceguy8). It's the most recent upload. I'm sorry for not sharing an easy link but the YT algorithm will punish me hard if that's how you find the video :(

I'll try to be direct and concise:

Home price $350,000 (selling for this)

Country/State: US/CA

Income: $100,000-130,000/yr

Paying buying/selling commission: 3% each (6% tot on commissions)

Balance on mortgage: $289,000

Any way to estimate what I should set aside for tax? Don't want to spend money that will eventually need to be paid to IRS.

I've never been through this before. Home is vacant right now and a sale would be easy.

Even if rented, the cash flow is -$300-400/mo. I want to either keep it if it rents to good tenants and then sell closer to end of year or sell now that it's vacant.

I don't know what the difficulty change would be if it I try to sell it while vacant or whole tenant occupied.

Also, bad or good time in general to sell this year given the rates and market conditions?

UPDATE: notified the PM that their services are no longer needed and will pick up keys soon to start sale process.

Thank you all for the wisdom.

I guess I am looking for an interpretation for the number of impressions. Google says it means YT has found a seed audience and it's pushing the video to people that closely match that seed group of users.

But I really don't know. The views did go up and CTR is at around 2% now. Normal given how many impressions. It started 15%+.
