Can I survive as a YouTuber

I have been on YouTube for several years now. I've done acting content and I barely made a dent.

I needed help to get likes, shares, and subscribers. I eventually gave up on the acting channel. I kept it as a part-time thing. A hobby more or less.

Then I decided to use my military survival skills and start Backyard Off-Grid. After accidentally burning down my house. The fire uncovered an illegal foundation and after not one. But Three years of living in my backyard. I have a house with solar and fire sprinklers.

I'm an entrepreneur, Rideshare driver, and content creator. With a little over 715 subscribers on YouTube.

I'm sure that "I can survive as a YouTuber." I go camping, hiking, kayaking, and on road trips.

I'm a solo traveler looking for my soul mate and trying to be a Full-Time YouTuber.

I created this blog to tell my story and hope that there are people out there inspired by my journey and story.

If you search Backyard Off-Grid on YouTube you'll find my channel. If you search Google you'll find where I live. Backyard Off-Grid is on Google Maps. I also make and sell bar soaps, candles, and jewelry.

I'm studying digital marketing and e-commerce as well. So hopefully this blog finds like-minded people.

People who are just as adventurous as me. On TikTok, my nickname has become Backyard. Even though my user name is Backyard Off-Grid Trading Post. I have a TikTok shop. It's really hard to sell anything on there. So I hope that I "Can survive as a YouTuber." Literally trying to become a full-time YouTuber so

I can be the next Mr. Beast YouTube millionaire and help those who need it.

My website is www.backyardog.shop

Thanks for reading this and have a great day!
