- Hey Everyone,
I hope you are well and doing good!
We are coming up to one full year of doing CZcams/ Social Media content creation as a full time job so I thought I'd offer up some detail of how I was able to do this.
Love to answer any questions I can in the comments section so fire away!
Thanks everyone and I hope you enjoy it!

Kate, I have spoken to you several times over the last 2 years about my come back to biking as a 65 year old male who has been absent from motor biking for 10 years due to chronic ill health. Your advice guidance and compassion for me the "person" not the profit, was and is outstanding. You gave me good meaningful advice that I could take away and consider, you never ever spoke to me in a way that was derogatory to the company you worked for, all I can say is a particular dealership have my business not because you pressured me into buying from you but because you respected me, the person buying. I have no doubt you will a success in all that you do, and to me selfishly the bikers world , if ever you start up your own training school for rusty bikers let me know. x
I came beck after several years away from biking,
I ride a sx 1000 kawasaki, absolutely love it is a struggle with several health issues, but well worth the pain and discomfort, by the way 66 shortly,
Hey Guys and Girls, sorry for the gross lighting! Unfortunately I have no control over the grim, overcast weather conditions of the UK! Hopefully, you can still enjoy it! Thanks :) UNK 🏁
It's been the same further south. Like the endless bleak aftermath of a nuclear war.
Hey, you always brighten up my dreary day 😎
You're bright enough. 🙂Forget the weather. lol
When will people realise that people hate being bullied into purchasing something especially a bike. Your decision to leave that is admirable and you are clearly better than that. I always walk away when hard sales is applied and never go back, why don’t companies see that !
A quote I remember Barry Sheene saying, " Don't wait for your boat to come in, swim out to meet the bloody thing!"
Keep swimming Kate and thank you for your honest vlog.
I just love your down to earth nature and honesty Kate. You've done a great job in your first year, even with health issues and I look forward to what's in store for you in 2023.
Thanks John :)
I know that salesman view. I've been asked several times why I don't work as a motorcycle salesman. (and I've been offered jobs as a salesman in other branches) But it all comes down to honesty. I can't sell a bike I know it's not for him or her. I can't make a sales speach about a product I don't use my self. Imagin selling Yamaha and the customer asks "What bike do you own?" and I have to say "KTM!" It just doesn't add up!
You're doing a great job. And I recommended your channel to my daughter-in-law. She's a newbie on a KTM 390 Duke. My son rides a 690 Duke, like myself. 🙂 (mine in white!)
Take care Kate!
I really respect that you’ve never gone down the click bait route - and grown the channel all same!
There's a lot to be said for seeing a stunning sunset and sunrise.
Been watching your channel a few weeks,
So easy to watch ,
Nothing pushy ,just a nice pleasant relaxing voice, giving sensible views / comments,
Takes a lot of courage to walk away from a regular income,
I did it due to health problems,
So well done you 👏.
Well done on completing your first year and overcoming the challenges dealt. Didn't ever have you down as someone with confidence issues but very honest of you in admitting such concerns. Makes you even more of an inspiration to those that share such insecurities. Here's to 2023. :-)
PS. Not really too interested in how much you earn as long as it allows you to live life as you want it.
Hiya Kate, just watched the above video. Very interesting I must say. I did not know there was as much work went into a video. I have not watched many of your videos, ut I will look out for more from now. I have subscribed so I should get notified
Take care and be safe
CZcams puts ads on non-monetised channels too now. Great work going ft, really impressive 👏
Good on you Kate , hope 2023 is a great one for you.
Well done Kate, I have been watching your youtube videos for some time and the thing that sticks out mostly is the progressive improvement in the videos over the time. Well done, keep it up, and I look forward to the next ones
Congratulations on your 1st year Kate, youre doing a great job. All the best for 2023!
Good on ya Lass, well said and well done, hope 2023 is kind to you and your child.

I always look forward to your vlogs, the range of bikes, the occasional sister and Dad joining your vlogs so enjoyable, the track days, weird camping adventures and ride outs with other friends, all make a great watch, keep on doing what you’re doing, stay passionate about it, but most of enjoy life.
Thanks for sharing this Kate. Very interesting and you should be very proud of yourself for making the jump and making it a great success. Fair play to you. Can’t wait to see more of your exploits on two wheels.
Hi Kate love your videos and your down to earth approach, it would be great to see you on a ride out with Bruce and the gang 🤞 Ride safe and all the best for 2023 👍
Well done on your first year full time , hopefully plenty more to come
Thanks for the vids Kate. Watched every minute of your Sinnis Terrain adventures.
Nice vid, so pleased it's all working out for you and I can relate to everything you're saying! When I was young I lived in squats, played drums in bands, made very little money but loved it all....Rock on...
Interesting, I follow a lot of bike channels. Yours is a good one. Hope 2023 is a fantastic year for you. 👍
the master of the gate deserves mucho success! seriously though Kate, great content, looking forward to another year of great, and varied content, keep it coming
Thanks for the great insight into the life of U-Tube Blogger Kate. I’ve been following you for quite a while now and really enjoy what you put out for us. I think I understand the scary bit about kicking off down that unknown road. But don’t worry you’re doing all right
Congratulations on your first year. Nice to see you pottering round my neck of the woods.
Interesting stuff, thanks Kate, very honest overview. I’ve been self-employed for over 20 years now and every years still a learning curve, so right you get out what you put in!
Be nice to see a kit review.
Keep up the good, I wish you all the very best for 2023.😊👍
First off, congratulations on your first year of full time CZcamsing.
Got to admire your commitment and self motivation, doing this full time.
I sometimes find it difficult, to not just film (especially in winter), but find interesting content, for my (small) channel, and I do this for a hobby!! not for a living, so fair play to you Kate.
Keep it up, you're doing really well.
Best of luck in 2023 and beyond.
Grumps.
Congratulations on your first year now behind you. Having just found your channel and watching your pieces on the KTM 1290 SAS, I'm looking forward to see more of what you've already created and what's yet to come. Wishing you all the success possible.
Another great vlog Kate looking forward to seeing your next one on a sportsbike ride safe lovely 😍
Well done Kate keep up the good work,love your vlogs I see the sinnis still going strong.
Nice one kate,just keep keeping it real,with so many fakes out there its nice to hear a genuine person.
It's exhausting being me nevermind me trying to be anyone else LOL
Well done great content as usual,BMW will miss you. Hope all works out for your future.
Loved the winter trip to Germany big challenge 👍
Congrats, and pat yourself on the back. Its not easy, but nothing worthwhile is in the beginning. Stay positive and not that I can be much help but here if needed.
May the force be with you 👍😁
Hey Kate, I wish you a blessed 2023!!! 🙂 Greetings from Munich. LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL 🍗🥃🏍️🇬🇧🏁🇩🇪
Congrats on your first year of full time YouTubing; it's lovely to see folk like yourself and Mr Smart make a success of your channels; proof to the rest of us just dipping our toes into the world of YT that it can be done with a bit graft. 👏🏻
congratulations on your first year looking to more videos 🙂
Great video explaining your decisions and struggles in the self employed world! also you were riding round my neck of the woods so bonus points for that!!
Hi Kate, been watching for Channel for a little while now and enjoying all of the content! I think doing the video about your first year of CZcams, earnings, hours worked etc would be helpful to alot of people. I think it would also inspire people to push themselves.
Embrace the freedom !! Freedom of choice, freedom with time etc. I found it liberating when I went self employed, there are good days and bad days, but the feeling that you are calling the shots and steering your own ship is priceless, I never go to bed now on a Sunday and dread Monday mornings !! ... keep doing what you're doing 👌
So very well done despite the lows...you will succeed. I have no doubt. Your a grafter and like you say if you hit your video's on time you will get the algorithm on your side....I love all your content. But lean towards bike reviews because your so great at doing them 👌. I'm so sure this year will be a great one. Keep biking Kate. Sending all the support I can give. 😉👍👍
Very useful real talk in this video. Thanks for the journey.
Your doing great,here’s to the next Twelve months❤️👌
Great videos and content. Keep up the good work!
Well done on your new venture, i enjoy all your content and videos 😀 💪🏻👌🏻
Hey crocodile, the consensus on here says you have done the right thing. For me, so long as you are happy and enjoying it then it has been a success. Ride safe.
Congratulations on your first year onwards and upwards 👏
Congrats! certainly can’t knock anyone doing what they want to do! looking forward to more content! it’s certainly not easy and editing really does take ages! Always said i wouldn’t do videos just for the sake of it and there is a fine line between updates and just throwing stuff out there that’s fun or relevant. you’re an inspiration anyway and wishing you all the success! 👌🏻😎👍🏻
Thank you for your honesty, I was self employed for years but had to get employed after life intervened, and I don't like it so I have just started my own channel and I am a fish out of water but learning fast, this video is brilliant as it re asserts to me to keep on plugging away at it . Good luck with your next year I hope you have even more success 🎉
Subscribed, all the best for the future.
I always love your ride out videos.
Well done Kate, enjoyed your vids this year, username Kate, lamb chop rides and 44 teeth, bout all I watch.
Awesome
👊🤘
Thank you for sharing the back story. Looking forward to what you'll bring us this year!
Cant wait to see what it holds!!
Hi Kate, I love the bike trips and reviews to help make decisions of which bike to buy and for the right purpose. I recognise the A49 area you rode through when I was living around there some years ago. I am sure you will continue to be successful SE motovlogger and I always find your reviews interesting which keeps me coming back. Please keep up the good work, king regards, Mike.
Can’t believe it’s 12 months, well done, enjoying your journey and keep it going
I started watching you around 3 months ago and absolutely love it, what is truly refreshing is your honesty and work ethic something that is rare too see these days. i too work in a sales and agree that making friends and giving the best advice is the way forward, as soon as i have a financial cushion my toes will be venturing into moto vlogging. My 15yo daughter watches you and is wanting to ride keep up the great work you legend.👍🐺
Great vid keep up the great channel and well deserved with all the hard work it must take!!! maybe looking forward to a group test on adventure bike reviews on large and medium bike ?
I remember your video when you first embarked on this adventure. You were looking forward to the unknown albeit with some understandable trepidation.
Look at you now! All power to you. 😁🙌🏍️
Thanks for all the vids.
That was kind of inspiring. Thanks. Subscribed.
All i want to say is Congratulations and Thank you!
Nice one Kate…great video! 👍🏻
I'm happy for you! Best of luck, and I will do my part to keep you going! Bring on the adds!!!!! lol
Hi Kate, after this video and your livestream I had to sign up to your Patreon. I’ve tried the CZcams malarkey and it’s not easy so good on you. Good look for the future. Good to see a fellow northerner on a bike! 👍
I especially enjoyed watching this video, brings out your funny personality. Great work & carry on….🇬🇧
Well done Kate. I thought the super socco trip to Blackburn was a brilliant bike video, one of the best I've watched. And I've watched a lot of videos 👍
Glad I took time to watch this, totally trust your reviews and content but never appreciated the work that goes into your content. Thankyou so much for your efforts and good luck going forward you deserve success.
Nice vlog, all the best for 2023
Remember you starting your c.c. career and as a northerner, me, thinking 'eh? Kates leaving her motorcycle job?' , little did we know we'd have 12 months of great motorcycle content from you. So good luck for the next 12 months 👍👍🙂🏍🎉🎈🍻
Thanks! If it all goes wrong, at least I gave it a go :)
Well done, keep up the good work. Refreshing content and good reviews of a range of motorcycles. You seem grounded and give an informative and balanced view of the bikes, need to see you review my favourite bike "Thruxton R"
Just do you. Make the content you enjoy and I believe viewers will find you since you're passionate about it. That being said, I loved the little adventure with your sister on the 125. You two looked like you had a ball.
Loved your channel from the beginning👍👍 always loved your down to earth attitude and that northern accent is just great to hear. The one concern I’d have is that some channels get a little boring after a couple of years. It’s great that your doing what you love, that’s what life is about. I’m a Dad working and paying for 2 kids in university with my gorgeous wife. I feel blessed I have an awesome job, but deep down kind of jealous of the CZcamsrs doing what they want to do. I told the kids I don’t care what you’re university degrees are…but do something you really want to do.
Hi Kate,love your content absolutely fantastic,you come across very professional and most importantly likeable,I took the plunge 9yrs ago and started being my own boss teaching Taekwon-do,it's been a huge success.
Another plus it frees up time to get out on my xr and see beautiful Scotland.
Keep being you 🏍👌
Congrats on the 1st year Kate. Would love to see you team up with Bruce and the lads.
Don’t change anything Kate, you are doing brilliantly, your personality is your USP.
Good crack Kate, never understood what it was all about but the way you've explained things like ,content, facts , and editing does help .Never been a salesperson but can understand how passionate you are about bikes. Self assessment myself so hurry up before 31st of January, good vlogs keep em coming .
Congrats Kate.
Well, 12 months on CZcams.
Where the hell has that gone.....
you have smashed it Kate, great honest reviews of a wide variation of bikes. Just keep going and doing a fantastic job. 👌 take care,stay safe 🏍👍👌
Great video as always Kate. Congratulations on your First Year full time….You are doing an amazing job…As for content we want….I would love to see you do a piece on Mike’s off roading…Cheers Dean
