    Hey guys, I just wanted to start off by introducing myself. I'm Bijan and own a 2006 Tacoma. For the last 5 years or so, I have dreamt of making a Youtube channel and today I picked up my camera and made that a reality. Although nerve-wracking talking in front of a camera, I figured it was time I conquer that fear.

    If you're interested, please feel free to check out my video and channel! I plan to really expand and post videos on many things such as lift, tires, traveling, places to go, build overviews, reviews, and installs. I appreciate everyone who subscribes from the bottom of my heart, so thank you if you do or even if you don't! Feedback is greatly appreciated, please help me become better!

    My Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2-zEw3n14WcGnvdBV8vdWg

    Hey! I couldn't answer that question. I'm guessing 10,000 subscribers? Not too sure!

    Nice introductory video. Your awkwardness talking to the camera will go away although it seemed fine to me. I enjoy Tacoma videos and in depth videos on suspension, and other equipment are always a plus. When you do the videos on these topics perhaps explain the products and why you chose say Kings over Fox or Icon for example so folks understand the difference between valveing, diameters, and what were your determining factors for choosing what you have. There are some great members in SOCAL that are very knowledgeable and experienced perhaps you could involve some of them as well. Just ideas keep up the good work. :thumbsup: Yes I subscribed

    There is a video I saw recently that talks about youtube monetization specifically for car channels and using examples like Cleetus McFarland, Doug DeMuro, etc. IIRC 10k sounds about right to start with. It is jaw dropping what some of the top channels make, but at the same time they put out content at a very constant rate the keeps people viewing.
