Tier Overview

On the fence about joining? Not sure which tier is right for you? You're in the right place!

There is an overview on the join page, but I wanted to include a more in-depth overview of what to expect from each perk!

If you have any ideas for new perks or any improvements to Joel+, please leave a comment or email me at [email protected]

Expanded Bulleted List

I expand on every single perk listed on the join page.

  • YouTube Posts Crossposted
    • Free (no tier required)
    • I've written a script to check YouTube for new text posts, polls, quizzes, etc. and crosspost them to Joel+
    • This just means you will not miss out on YouTube posts made by me. My goal is for you to be able to unsubscribe from my YouTube channel if you join Joel+
    • You can view the source code here.
  • Exclusive Text Posts
    • Electric Skateboard (free) and Above
    • You can expect early updates on future trips I'm taking or trips I'm taking at the moment.
    • For example, if a trip is up in the air, but I get the reservations, I'll let you know to look forwards to that trip.
  • Exclusive Polls
    • Electric Skateboard (free) and Above
    • If you're a large enough fan to leave your preferred viewing platform to come to my own website, I value your feedback and critique more than that of those on other platforms.
    • For example, if I'm undecided on thumbnails or want feedback on how to handle a channel change, I'll ask you first.
  • Early Access to New Videos.
    • '85 Honda Shadow VT500C and Above
    • I upload every Friday, but have the videos done beforehand. Whenever they're done, I upload and share them here immediately.
    • This can range anywhere from a few weeks early to a few days early.
  • Completely Ad Free Viewing of All Videos
    • '85 Honda Shadow VT500C and Above
    • No YouTube AdSense Ads
    • No Embedded Ads
  • Original Quality Video Downloads
    • '85 Honda Shadow VT500C and Above
    • I'll make the original video file available for download.
    • This means much less compression. If you care about quality, this is the best way to view my videos.
    • Do note that download speeds will not be excellent.
      • You'll be downloading the files directly from my in-home server. My upload speeds are only 40Mbps at time of writing.
  • View All Created Thumbnails
    • '85 Honda Shadow VT500C and Above
    • I usually take advantage of the A/B thumbnail testing on YouTube. I choose my personal favorite to be the cover image here, but in the body of the post I also include other thumbnails I made for the video.
    • I'll also provide some insight behind each thumbnail in the caption.
  • Exclusive Videos - BTS, Extras, etc.
    • '06 BMW Z4 3.0i and Above
    • This is pretty self-explanatory. Anything that doesn't make sense for YouTube will be here instead!
    • The types of videos you might expect:
      • Stuff that's illegal that I don't want to put up publically.
      • Extended cuts of off-roading or other things.
      • Other hobbies that don't fit on my YouTube channel.
      • Exclusive updates about BTS of the channel.
      • Probably other stuff!
  • GPX Files from Adventures
    • '06 BMW Z4 3.0i and Above
    • A GPX file is a format of GPS file that you can import into the mapping software of your choice to see a route.
    • You could go on the exact same adventure as me.
    • You could follow along with the video with a better understanding of how far I drove.
  • Your Name in the Credits
    • '07 Volvo XC70 and Above
    • This is pretty self-explanatory. Your name will be on-screen at some point during the video.
    • Members of higher tiers will be shown on screen for longer and/or in larger text.
  • Full Color 8.5"x11" Print on the Wall of My Shop
    • '93 Subaru Loyale 4x4 and Above
    • It will be printed on proper photo paper.
    • It will be up indefinitely, even after your subscription is cancelled.
    • We will work together to get your image approved and printed.
      • I have the right to reject any image for any reason.
      • If we can't come to an agreement for whatever reason, a refund is allowed.
    • Be creative! I'd love to put up a photo of your car on my wall!
    • I will put your membership name in the corner of the image.
    • Members of the '84 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale tier get TWO prints.
      • Feel free to select two completely different images, or one double height/width image!
  • My Personal Cell Phone Number
    • '84 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale and Above
    • Yes, the one in my pocket at all times.
    • Yes, I stole this idea from Climate Town.
    • I will turn off this sim while I'm at my day job and asleep, resulting in the following hours (subject to change at my discretion)
      • M-F 5pm to 9pm (pacific time)
      • S-Su 10am to 9pm (pacific time)
    • I will pick up the phone
      • Even cold calls.
      • If I don't have service I will, obviously, not pick up.
    • I will respond to texts.
      • If you use an iPhone, my bubble will be green. If that offends you, don't join this tier.
    • I will also be available on Signal.
    • I will change this number periodically at my discretion. If you're a current member of the tier you will, of course, be provided with the new number.
