Here's mine. I only upload rocketry related videos to it. For some reason, people seem to prefer my Estes static fire video that I made in middle school out of all of my videos, including my L3 cert video.

I have one.

Years ago I made a video of my very young (at the time) son playing with cars on the floor. I posted it online so that my parents could see him playing, nothing more than that. I posted a few more, time passed...

Then about a year later YouTube contacted me letting me know it had enough views that I should consider monetizing it. I had no idea that was even a thing so I made the changes necessary to allow them to post ads on it. I have NO idea how or why that particular video started getting the views it did. It was far from "viral" by any measure but it was soon getting 10,000 views a day and more. Sometimes people would click on an ad and I'd earn a few pennies but it added up. Every time the ad account got over $100 they'd mail me a check.

I made a little over $1,000 before the number of views suddenly went down as mysteriously as they started. I probably haven't had 1,000 views on it since then.

Mostly nature and travel stuff, although my most popular video was something I recorded back in 2013 when they were shooting scenes for Transformers 4 near my house:



I haven't really tried photographing or recording my rocket flights yet, mostly because I'm too anxious about paying attention to my rocket flights.
