First, I'm very impressed by what you've done in just a year as far as diversifying goes! (Insert applause) Second, a question. This is income, correct? Not profit? Just wondering if there are any expenses that go into the income you earn. I really enjoy your videos! I think that I fall into a large number of subscribers that you have- the older set? 😂 (I could be your mother!) I look forward to watching you grow this coming year. 😊

Jeez, I had no idea you could do that kind of money. I only got my teaching job and no other income. Hm I wonder if I can get my cats their own online career... I don't want one myself but more ways of income would be nice. Is the feet pics actually a thing one could be paid for? Saw some other comment mentioning that.

@Patchy People love honesty, and being up front about things, it is endearing. Plus who doesn't love that UK sense of humor, especially silly or self deprecating sarcasm? I think the soothing. calming aspect of your videos come from your voice, quiet with that very noticeable Scottish accent. What's not to love there? And who wouldn't be fascinated with a noticeably ginger Scot with a white patch on one side of his head who actually has the nickname Patchy and likes it? That is just the best. I honestly like your videos about your cat, and you baking, and you taking walking/hiking tours of your local country the best. The beauty around you and the music you choose for those videos make it like a 20ish minute mini vacation. Great work Patchy (George)….Brian
