Short answer
Channel created: Sept 21, 2010 (age 18)
Regular posting: 2018 (when it became the job)
The date
Channel-tracking sites put the creation date at September 21, 2010, and Wikipedia says September 2010. Kevin was 18 and had been a licensed agent for a few months. 1
What the early videos were
Kevin’s account
For years the videos just lived on YouTube embedded into my real estate website. They were how I showed clients how I worked, and I credit them with converting people into hiring me. I still believe video is critical for conversion in every business.
When it became Meet Kevin
In 2018, when social media income passed real estate income, he committed to regular posting. Financhill’s summary: he had the channel for more than a decade but did not commit to regular content until 2018. 2
In his own videos
