I Help Beginners Build Profitable Websites
Welcome to the ultimate analysis of Downielive for 2024.
I’ve spent thousands of hours watching successful business educators on YouTube.
The goal of these profiles is to show you the different ways people have built 6 and 7-figure businesses online, so you can see what it takes to find your own success, starting today.
Downielive Facts
💡Full Name and Age
Downielive is Michael Downie who is 34 years old, and many of us known him simply as Mike.
He got laid off from his job 7 years ago at a junk removal company.
He’s just a normal guy who went full-time as a travel vlogger and never looked back.
🤑 Net Worth
You’d be surprised by how much travel YouTubers are currently making.
Right now in 2024, I estimate Michael (Downielive) has a net worth of $470,000 Canadian dollars.
This includes the value of his travel business, his camera equipment, his personal belongings and savings.
Mike doesn’t own a house or a car given how often he’s out there on the road.
🤩 Income Streams
Affiliate marketing, YouTube ads and brand sponsors.
🌍 Location
When he isn’t traveling, he lives in Vancouver, Canada.
✌️Common Praise
He is super relatable, has a ton of respect and is very friendly.
❌ Notable Complaints
None that I could find
🚀 The X-Factor
His travel vlogs are just epic.
📈 Creator Trends
His growth on YouTube has increased 3x in the last 12 months given how popular traveling has become.
😍 Girlfriend
Yes, Michael does have a girlfriend and this does not restrict his travel freedom.
Michael Downie of Downielive is currently dating Nicole Kopera (@nicolekopes) and she has been featured in many of his travel vlogs. They do live together when they’re not traveling.
Will they get engaged, married and have kids? Well…*watch this space* 🙂
👨🏻💻 My Verdict
He’s someone I recommend for those seeking a genuine creator who keeps things simple but is also quite educational.
About Me
I’m Joshua Smith from Australia. I have been building profitable content sites since 2011.
Today, in addition to managing my own portfolio, I actively help others on their journey.
How much does Michael Downie make and how?
Michael makes an estimated $15,000 to $30,000 per month on YouTube through:
➜ Brand sponsorships (such as TruEarth)
➜ Affiliate links to his travel and clothing products
➜ Revenue generated from the YouTube ads
I know that some travel bloggers earn free trips because of their channel, but I don’t think this is the case for Michael. His success on YouTube became so significant that he recently had to hire a camera guy and a video editor.
Mike’s Praise
Why is he so loved?
➜ His storytelling is so genuine
➜ His clickbait doesn’t include chicks
➜ He’s worked incredibly hard for his freedom
➜ He’s just a natural storyteller and normal dude
I guess ultimately, he’s just so relatable to many young people.
Mike’s Red Flags
He hasn’t created any real controversy and I doubt he ever will. His content is just so…refreshing! Many of us feel like we’re right there in the moment.
The X Factor
Michael is one-of-a-kind because:
➜ He uses no silly filters
➜ He’s a budget traveler
➜ There are no chicks for clicks
➜ His storytelling is so likable
He’s got a good soul that’s hard to hate.
My Verdict
Ultimately, I’ve been so inspired by watching his videos on Youtube.
My key takeaways include:
➜ Freedom is closer than you think
➜ Budget traveling is where it’s at
➜ Find a way to work online now
➜ Be willing to do the hard things
Some notable quotes from Mike include:
We have to learn to appreciate those around us. These moments won’t last forever.
Whatever your dream is, remember small steps now mean big progress over time.
The only person who’s going to chase your dreams is you, so you’d better get started.
And find a mentor who’s prepared to work with you. 🙂
So from one fan of his channel to another, I do hope we cross paths real soon, whether that’s online or in the real world. I’m just a normal dude that’s discovered some incredible opportunities to live a digital nomad lifestyle.
