In this episode, I sit down with Bethany, one half of a dynamic duo running a super successful reaction channel on YouTube. She shares how she and her husband started their channel to pass the time during long commutes, and now it’s blossomed into a thriving community! They’ve got two channels—one all about video games and the other diving into movies and TV shows. While her husband’s gone full-time on YouTube, Bethany’s still juggling her day job. They’re bringing in revenue through ads, Patreon, and sponsorships, but the dream? Both of them, going all-in on their channel. This is such an inspiring journey of building a brand, one reaction at a time!
