We made it to over 1,000 Subscribers over on our YouTube Channel. This is an achievement as by the end of 2018 we only had about 600 or so subs. Reaching 1,000 was quite important as you get a chance to be monetized by YouTube and can earn some pocket money for me. Why do I say for 'me'? And not for the blog?
