How Tequila Is Made - Behind The Scenes With Tequila Herradura!
We had the opportunity to get a private tour of Casa Herradura, the place where all Tequila Herradura is made. It was such an incredible experience and there's way more to it than we could have ever imagined!
If you're curious to know how tequila is made, this video is for you.
Watch the full video below:
We use this action cam to shoot our videos.

I didnt know that It takes 8 years for agave to fermented, it takes so much of patience. In contrary, some of us are getting bored just waiting for year or two and wanted to dump our crypto and leave. I think that is one of the reason the average people are poor because of lack of patience. Thanks for making a video like this, I think the moving subtitle is not helping so much by the way great job! 😂
I know what you mean, but just for clarity, for anyone else who reads this - It takes 8 years before the blue agave plant ripens. The fermentation process takes about 4 days.
So true about the patience of the average person. It can definitely be applied to crypto as well as most other kinds of investing. It seems that the average person wants to buy investments when they are going up in price and sell when they're going down. They forget, or perhaps never learn the adage from investing 101, which is "Buy low, sell high."
Hey guys. You’re videos are getting better and better (I’ve been watching without commenting for ages. Sorry). This one was particularly interesting.
Could I ask that you include mention of Steemit in your videos? It would be awesome if you could encourage your growing audience to come and check out our platform here.
Hey @mazzle, thanks for watching. This was one of our favorites yet! We started Tangerine Travels about 4 months ago and one of our primary goals with it is to grow Steem, so that's absolutely at the forefront of our minds.
We're doing some things already to grow Steem:
If you read our earlier posts, both on here and on my personal @shenanigator account, you'll find a few where we talk about our plan to grow Steem. We talked about how we first need to build a stage from which we can promote it.
We're at a little over 8,000 subs now and socialblade predicts that we'll hit 100,000 in about 7 months (using a regression formula). Assuming we keep doing what we're doing, and YouTube keeps promoting our channel, in less than a year our audience (to whom we can promote Steem) will be more than 10x the current size. With that said, YouTube likes what we're doing, and they're promoting our channel like crazy on their website, so we don't want to switch too much stuff up.
On most videos (but not sponsored videos), we could probably start asking people to join us on Steem. But we do have to be very careful with it and make sure that we're doing it in a way that doesn't mess up our audience retention numbers. Because if a lot of people start clicking out of our videos, audience retention goes down, and YouTube will stop promoting that video.
I see the challenge. What about links in your info section below each video? Can you utilise that for links to your Steemit profiles?
Keep doing what you're doing though. You're making awesome progress.
Hey, one last question. Do you currently make more money from Steemit in comparison to YouTube? Are you living off your Steemit earnings?
We do have links to Steemit in our description below each video, but we've found that stuff in the description is pretty useless unless you're actually asking your audience (in the video) to go look for it.
For example, we had an Airbnb link in the description for a couple of months and didn't get a single person signing up through our link. That was until one day, when we told them about it in a video, and that same day something like 20 people signed up through our link.
Right now, we make nothing from YouTube. We've been waiting for monetization approval for a while now which would allow us to put ads on our videos.
We recently launched our Patreon and now make about $200/month from that.
We make a little bit of money from Amazon Affiliates.
We make a little bit from people reaching out to us wanting to donate via PayPal.
We haven't done any paid sponsorships yet, but we're starting to get a lot of requests to advertise product/services. These sponsorships will probably soon be our biggest revenue source. For this particular video, we reached out to Herradura, they gave us a free tour, and permitted us to film (almost) everything. However, they didn't pay us anything.
Wow. That’s quite a few different revenue streams. So you’re not converting your Steem and SBD to Fiat then?
We're not converting any to fiat when the prices are down like they are now. We converted some when the prices were higher, but we're hopeful that soon we won't have to rely on Steem at all and be able to power up everything we earn before long.
You may notice that we recently started a power down but that power down isn't for the purpose of selling steem.
OK cool. Mostly asking because I'm wanting to find people who are living off their Steem earnings.
I'd love to put together an article where I discuss what they did to achieve it and how much work they put in to maintain their income.
I didnt watch the video, but ....
I like your name
