20,000 YouTube Subscribers

Another YouTube milestone.

Support VBJ’s writing on this blog:

My YouTube channel just broke 20,000 subscribers. I guess this is a milestone, of sorts. While it’s nothing to really get excited about — I mean, there are currently 363,670 YouTube channels with more subscribers out there — it is something that I’m a little proud of.

I began my YouTube channel in May of 2007, and it took ten years to get 10,000 subscribers — but it only took one additional year to double that number.

20,010 people came upon my YouTube videos and liked them enough to subscribe. 20,010 subscribers and 11,525,888 views. We’re getting there.

    Congratulations. A huge milestone!!

    I have taken white monkey travels off the grid. I just changed to url so i havent lost all my hard work.

    Spam referrals and the pathetic amount of traffic i get are the two main reasons…. these spam hits from dodgy seo help sites all hosted by go-daddy, are a bit worrying. . i spend all my time blocking these idiots. and where the hell did it all come from.

    hope u will be blog posting a bit more often !!!

      Hello Trevor, Thank you! Hmm… why do you worry about the spam traffic? I wouldn’t let it bother you. But for the amount of effort you put into this I would recommend getting your own hosting package and using self hosted Wordpress as your CMS. You will get all kinds of crap and no benefit (you’re actually discriminated against) being on Weebly. You’re going to get way less traffic and way less advertisers. But I’ve been giving you this advice for years haha 😉
