KZhead Adsense. KZhead algorithm. How much money do KZheadrs make? How much money does Dan Becker make.
You have helped me out a TON and I am thankful for that! Awesome video, dude!
Thanks Gordon!!!
Okay bro where's our cut? I mean you are going to pay us for watching these videos right? Just kidding it's a great videos great channel I enjoy watching it I have a ton of experience in backpacking but you'd be surprised how much stuff I learned watching these things.
Hi I'm Bryan
refreshingly transparent, and well deserved.
I really liked this, it's not so much a nosey thing to me but a great glimpse behind the scenes. You can talk to almost anyone and hear some crazy rumor about how much so-and-so makes from KZhead and this takes away the mystery and simply shows how it works. Very interesting, and great work thanks for sharing.
Congrats Dan. Really appreciate the transparency. Keep up the great work and we'll keep watching.
Chatting so clearly, intelligently, calmly, and naturally on camera like this is a gift that very few have. He makes it look like falling off a log, which l guess is the key to his success. To be skilled in the art of communication is probably the most important asset to being successful, and this guy has it in spades.
You deserve everything that you have earned, Dan! Love seeing your success and it shows what happens when you continue to put in the hard work towards something you want to be successful at
Thanks my friend!! You as well!!
Zee heeppopotamoose, he is not born saying, "Cool beans. I am a heeppo." No way, Joesay. So he try to paint zee stripe on him to be like zee zebra, but he fool no one. Then he try to put zee spot on zee skin to be like the leopard, but everyboody know he is a heeppo. So, at certain point, he look himself in zee mirror and he just say, "Hey. I am a heeppopotamoose and zere is nothing I can do about it." As soon as he accepts zis, he live life happy. Happy as a heeppo. You understand zis
@@DanBecker I think you should make more for 40,000,000 views. Your content is gold and so much fun.
$95k last year? Dan, God bless you; that ain't much with all your expenses. I hope your income increases and your influence expands. Your work with Sawyer is great. Hope to see more along that front. Keep up the good work!
Just from adsense. Not from sponsers etc.
RESPECT! I’m so impressed with the person you are. (And I was around for the first editor I think) That was above and beyond, Dan. And so sweet to encourage those contemplating their own channel.
Wow I always wondered how it worked. Thanks for the clear and open explanation Dan. You’re the only KZheadr that I subscribe to that has taken the time to explain this stuff. Thanks!
Congratulations, Dan. You deserve your success 🙌
Well deserved, Dan & Team. I appreciate the humanness of your channel. I’ve learned a tonne which is why I share it with others and keep coming back. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Dan, well deserved credit for all the effort you guys put into this adventure.
Very interesting Dan, thanks for taking us behind the scenes into the business side of KZhead. Your year over year growth is a blessing that I pray will continue. I am a fairly new subscriber and I’m learning great stuff from you.
Love the transparency, Dan! New creator here. Thanks for the inspiration! Hard earned indeed. You, your crew, and your family deserve every penny and all the success! Cheers!
I appreciate that!
Thoroughly deserved .Huge congratulations to you Dan,well done. Keep upn the great work.
Dan, I recently started watching your videos about six months ago ,I do not backpack anymore but I do bicycle touring for the last 40 years I find that most of the equipment is the same, except for the obvious bicycle, racks and bags. I have watched multiple different backpacking channels what is different about yours is that you are very down to earth plain spoken sometimes misspoken, but you make the subjects you do very interesting. You have been a great help to me and picking out new equipment for my touring rig. I am retiring soon and plan on doing some touring the summer thanks again and God bless.
Wow, I love this transparency. It’s well deserved Dan. Keep going 💪🏻
Candid, honest, informative, what we've come to expect from you. Thanks Dan, Rock on!
Im not nosy. I dont care. I just love watching your gear reviews. You are real and funny and so comfy in front of the camera. I love your adventures with Eric (those are my favourites!) and videos where you conquer your fears are awesome! I wish all the success for you and your team 👍🏻🙏
Your videos are incredibly good and I learn so much from them. Thanks for staying the course, you make this fun and interesting
Great analysis Dan! Thanks for bringing us behind the scenes, not many ever do this and provide that encouragement to others. Cheers from Texas!
Love the transparency and also seeing your path to success. Congrats!
Appreciate the transparency Dan! Your journey has been very inspiring.
This is what I love about you and your channel, your honesty. This is inspiring!
I've learned so much of your videos. A lot of your tips can be used on motorbike camping as well. I know how much work goes in just one video. Let alone as much as you do together with the team. It's really hard work! So well deserved and thank you for teaching me (and others) so much.
Wow, thanks for this. The fact that you absolutely didn’t have to share this kind of information, but that you did anyway … very cool. You’ve always been so real with us, and that’s why we’re still here ~ we trust you and it feels as though you trust us. Thanks!
So happy for your success, well deserved, wish you even more success Dan
Congratulations! Hard work pays off. Love the channel!
Pretty cool bud, your channel has been a great help to my friends and I. You’ve probably saved us all hundreds of dollars buying our gear once after your advise and reviews on products. Keep up the great work, you deserve it and more in my opinion.
Love the transparency and education. Congratulations - this is well deserved. You help a lot of people make informed decisions.
Thanks Dan! Appreciate all the effort you put into the channel.
Love your transparency with us on the analytics of your channel. Some very good numbers as well, congrats! It's also a great insight for those of just getting started on KZhead as well. Thanks again for this vid and your willingness to show/explain the numbers behind your channel - stay safe and Aloha!
You’ve earned it man, way to go! Appreciate the info and your transparency! Keep up the great work!
Really appreciate this video! Hugely informative without being boastful and showing the real picture of how much work it takes. Agree with the other comments here - well deserved success with the amount of teaching and knowledge you're sharing with all of us. I've been a bit lazy on my travel and adventure channel and I need to put some more effort into it again - thanks for the motivation!
awesome behind the scenes view. thanks for your transparency, love seeing this sort of thing and hope you're able to keep doing this and making a living
Very cool to see how it has worked for you, Dan. Thank you for sharing and look forward to helping you keep it growing and learning from you.
Congrats, dude! You deserve it! And I really appreciate the walkthrough, it's a fascinating backend to youtube that we the viewers rarely get to see.
You deserve every penny Dan! Great channel! Please keep up the awesome research and evaluations while keeping it like a normal enthusiast. Thank you Dan, I would start my own but would rather support you !
I'm pleasantly surprised. I know the work that goes into producing your volume and quality of videos. It is nice to see the hard work paying off for you. Well done.
Thanks for being so open and making this video! I can't imagine how hard it is to make dozens and dozens of videos in the early days while working a full time job and knowing you are making $10 a day on it. But it's also the only path. Great job and thanks for the awesome channel!
At the risk of repeating what everyone else has said....thanks for the transparency and insight. This adds a huge amount of credibility to your channel. I'm curious as to how the "Likes" and Subscribers adds to the KZhead revenues. I hope you continue your upward trajectory of success!
Glad to be a part of your viewer base. Thanks for the info, and Stay safe and God bless.
Really appreciate your approach to things, both sharing backpacking info and this transparency. It’s nice to see someone simply being genuine. I hope you’re earning 3x this in another year. Keep up the great work!
This is great! Thanks for being transparent and realistic. This is pretty inspiring to start a channel.
Well deserved! Very honest and open, I like it. Thanks for all the content!
Thanks so much for this. I've always wondered. Really appreciate you demystifying all of this.
You deserve every penny and then some! Thanks for everything Dan!
Thanks for this ! Happy for you. Great job keep it up
That's been a really interesting video Dan 🙂 Thanks for the transparency and keep up the good work. I have to say that you as a "everyday dad" are much more relatable than several other outdoor youtubers.
Congratulations, Dan!!! Thank you for all the great content! I have thoroughly enjoyed you and your channel! Keep up the great work, my friend!
Thanks for the insight, Dan 😃 It was interesting to watch how you have grown your channel through the last few years 👌 Keep it up 😊
Well deserved Dan. Good on you💪🏼
Great info, thanks for the transparency, love the channel. Keep up the great work!
I'm still in the beginning-phase of starting my own outdoor-channel. It is much harder than you'd think, but it is very fun if you're into the whole process. Going on a trip can be somewhat challenging on it's own, but if you plan on making it into a video, you need to bring so much extra gear, and also plan ahead enough that you know you'd get enough content for a video. And then it's a balancing act between it being too scripted, or being too improviced and random with no story driving the video forward. I am still experimenting with finding my own style, and hope to create a channel people can enjoy.
You just put to words what im going through as well- i had this great plan to execute a story with my last trip but it just doesn’t really work like that huh?! Will def check out you channel.
Same here! It is tough starting out new, and lots of time goes into every video. The algorithm is tough to get into for smaller channels. I'll give you a subscribe in support of other small channels like mine with my son though! 👍
So true. I’ve found in the past I’ve been looking forward to some trips but then starting filming and realized I wasn’t as into the trip because so much thought was going into the video. Still trying to find that balance.
Yes! Add two big dogs to it, and it gets complicated very quickly. It's also difficult as an introvert, and as someone who doesn't want to lose her connection to the actual experience. I definitely have a newfound respect for KZhead content creators since starting my own channel. Mad respect to you all.
@@lovedogsontheloose 🤣I hear ya about the dogs!
Congratulations. We really enjoy your videos. I hope you have continued success.
This was super interesting, and you are AWESOME for being transparent about all of that information!
you rock man hope you have more and more success every year. thanks for all the advice the past few years!!
Thank you so much for this, Dan! As someone else in the same niche, it's really nice to be able to see what AdSense revenue really looks like as we grow. We see this from channels that are about KZhead, but like you said, RPM and CPM are very different in different niches. I've been so curious what the bigger channels in this niche make, so I really appreciate this!
I love your content and this is awesome. Very informative for someone who might be trying to make it amongst a sea of creators.
Love the authenticity of this Dan.... thanks for the information on all things KZhead
Dude, I have bought a few of the items that you recommended and I have enjoyed them greatly, especially the chair zero...man I bring that thing everywhere! I used to just find a log or use the ground to sit on because I wasn't going to carry a folding chair around but now the game has changed! You've earned your following and I pray for even greater things for you in your future!
Great video. Very informative and puts a lot of things into perspective. Your transparency also puts everything you are doing in s good light, IMHO. Thans for all the content.
I think you deserve every penny of that, and more!! Keep it up! 👏👏
I really appreciate the breakdown and transparency. It's helpful and encouraging for anyone thinking about starting a channel. Thanks!
Thanks for the transparency! Your videos are great. Keep it up.
Wow, honestly refreshing! I love your channel, humorous, it has helped me with fine tuning up my motocamping gear! Keep it up!
This is Great I have always had the exact questions that you just answered. I love the transparency you displayed with this. As much as I have watched you in the past i have never subscribed, today I fixed that! Thank you.
Thanks for the info Dan. I rely heavily on written and video product reviews before buying just about anything. I love and appreciate your videos.
Thanks for sharing DB!
Well deserved! Thanks for showing this, great to see this level of honesty and transparency! Best of luck continuing on.
Longtime subscriber/viewer...thanks for this info in this video and ALL your content. The gear reviews have been invaluable in my research to make the right purchase the first time......Keep up the great content!
Congratulations!!! Great content always
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
More power to ya, man! Keep on keepin' on!
u deserve all the growth, hopefully this year is even better!
Keep up the great work 😀 My wife and I have watched your videos for some years now and we love them. Wanted to go ultralight hiking some years ago but your videos helped us balance it out 😆 Used your tips in the Pacific, South America, and Norway while hiking. Really helpful and entertaining.
I really love how transparent you are. Keep it comin!
Thank you Dan, I enjoy your upfront approach and honesty
Congrats! Many more years of success and growing your channel!
Two great videos really interesting to see how you tube works and how your channel is organised, can’t fault your openness about all this. Good luck for the future 👍
That was really cool for you to do. Your honesty is refreshing and that’s why you have a following. Keep up the great work.
Great video. Thanks for sharing! And congrats on the well deserved success. Look forward to seeing your “10 mistakes every backpacker makes while going ultralight and using budget gear 3” video!
This is great info! Living the dream! Keep going and I hope you'll continue to find new interesting topics. Would be cool if you could do videos of trips abroad.
Very informative and I appreciate your willingness to share. Hope this years grow is more than last years
Earned a subscriber simply for transparency and being a real one. Appreciate you!
Thanks for sharing. You are the only content producer that I’ve seen that has shared those details. Keep up the good work. I always look forward to your next videos.

Thanks for that. It's good to see an honest breakdown of it all. Thinking of starting my own channel. 👍
I'm so happy for you Dan. That's honestly awesome that you were able to change people's lives Inspire others and do what you love.
Thanks for sharing that part. There's something nice about the transparency. I liked the video with the different types of backpackers, that was hilarious!
