Thanks so much for having us, Sean! Loved getting to share our love of travel and content creation and hopefully encourage some others along the way!

I have a YouTube travel channel. And I have 964 subscribers and 4K+ watch hours. So just waiting for the last 36. It’s been all about patience and consistency for me.

@sean This is the Podcast I have been waiting for!!!! 🙏🏾 As a new Travel YouTuber this has given me so much reassurance as I wanted to give up and most of all MOTIVATION to keep moving forward!! @MattandNat you guys are an inspiration to me. I cannot Thank you all enough ❤️

As a very new channel in this niche, it’s great to hear that “slow and steady” is the way to go. We are in our first year and sometimes when that doubt kicks in and I feel like we aren’t growing fast enough, I have to step back and tell myself that we are nearing 1, 500 subs and still have 3 more months before we hit our first year. We are still doing better than many others out there.

Also refreshing to see that they juggle a 40hr work week between their content. It’s more relatable because our channel is not something we do full time.

Great conversation.

My travel channel is growing slowly and it has been so difficult trying to find travel specific YT guidance. Thanks for this.

Love Matt and Nat, been following them for over a year. Super personable and have even helped us plan our Nashville trip with tips.

Love that they can show the side of most of us who have to work and try to do this travel YouTube at the same time

I am a small travel channel. It’s taken 18 months to get just over 500 subs so to hear how fast they got to a 1000 was a shock 😮 It’s a good job I enjoy the process.

[travelingbeyondboundaries]

Love this so much! I work full-time at my day job and can only work part-time on my travel channel and business. It's been almost a year of purposely building my channel and I'm less than 200 watch hours away from monetization. It's nice to see a travel channel focused on, especially one that is still working another job.

[marlenelandstravels]

Finally a topic within my niche!!!! I’ve been struggling to grow my channel with travel content so this is most welcomed topic! 😊

[simplifiedtravels]

This was perfectly timed. I've been at this part time for a few years and sometimes struggle with the motivation to keep going. And i would agree that us travelers are most definitely a loving and caring group.

Love Matt and Nat, they are great people and make fantastic videos. Really enjoyed this interview!

[ontarioroadtripping]

Thank you so much for covering this topic! Been searching for this kind of info specifically for travel Youtubers!! Love your content overall Sean

[Justdan]

This is exactly what I needed! One of my favorite episodes with so much helpful information!!!

[drivingdaily]

Finally a YT partner! Hope you all are rewarded for your hard work!

[travelwithbo]

As a small travel channel (hobby), this interview was very inspiring and much needed! I often feel like giving up since it is just a part-time thing whenever I have time with work and family, and why would anyone care?! So thank you for this!!!

[notjustatourist_official]

[travelingbeyondboundaries]

Can't wait to watch this one I'm home! Currently traveling and I have a travel channel so this is perfect!

[theseleenadiaries]

I have been waiting for someone to talk about the travel niche and how to build a YT channel around this! I am SO HAPPY that you have done this video and hope you will do more on this niche!!! 👌🙏🏻🥳

[ThisBlondeLife]
