Yes, I'm surprised! I just checked my YouTube channel and I have one video that has 14,788 views. My second most successful has 3487 views and the third has 1406 views. I never thought that that would happen. The video is about making green vegetables last longer without a fridge. I guess, one will never know what can happen. I wish that it has been one of my songs that would have that many views. I wans't really planning on a singing career anyway. I thought that if I ever have a video that gets 1000 views that would be an achievement. Have you ever toyed with the idea of having your ownn YouTube channel? Do you have any videos on YouTube?

Wow, I am really impressed. I've made YouTube slide-shows of some of the things we've seen while travelling but that's all.

I was really surprised and so maybe I'll put up a few more if I see something interesting. How would I find your videos?

That is awesome buddy. I always check the videos that teach me things. Sounds like a good video you made. I do not make Youtube videos. I hate camera's and being on video.

Thanks! That was a surprise to have so many views on one of them. I might post more. But to get many views it has to be something unusual and interesting.

There are many different things that one can do and it doesn't have to be about you. It just needs to be something that people will want to watch. I put videos of my dad so that our relatives in other parts of the world could see him. Then I went crazy and there are now more than 100 videos a bout all kinds of things. I was having fun!

Congratulations, looks like you struck gold you can send me the link so I can add to the likes and recommend to my friends. So could it already be monetized? I don't make any videos.

Yes, they are all monetized but unless you get hundreds of thousands of views I don't think they'll make any money. However, it is all in good fun.

That is great. I don't have a YouTube channel but I did upload a couple of videos many years ago of a trip we took to a zoo and my kids uploaded some of them playing basketball. How can I see yours, search your name on YouTube?

Actually, I'm not doing well! It was just a surprise that for some reason one video had some views but 18,000 views while considerable it is very little. Nevertheless, it was a interesting surprise.
