The Shiplife FAQs (April 2023)
Crew Members
Jay Herring (age 32)
He used to work as a crew member and now he’s a full-time vlogger.
Girlfriend
At this time, Jay appears to be single.
Location
He lives in Florida when he isn’t cruising!
Past Cruising
He’s been to a ton of places onboard cruise ships around the world.
Affording It
He saved up while cruising the oceans (no rent to pay) so he was able to start vlogging after he quit his job.
Net Worth
You’ll be surprised in a moment…
As of 2023, The Shiplife has a net worth of $760,000 USD.
This is based upon the value of Jay’s car, online business and camera equipment.
He isn’t a millionaire but gets to enjoy the million-dollar lifestyle onboard the ships of the world!
Making Loot
Jay is absolutely monetizing his channel properly.
In 2023, Jay from The Shiplife is making around $17,000 per month with his YouTube channel.
So yes, that’s a 6-figure annual income right there! And he hasn’t needed to wait until he retired for the big money to roll in.
He does this already, mainly through:
➜ Ads on his videos
➜ Affiliate links to cruise-related deals
➜ Sponsored links
➜ Patreon subscription
He isn’t given free cruises by cruise lines. Instead, he pays for them out of his own pocket and makes the money back from promoting that content to his loyal following on social media.
Collaborations
He’s been featured on a bunch of other channels.
Big Moments
Jay has done some interesting things, such as cheap cruises (and even super cheap cruises) plus has been the victim of racism and dealt with some rude people along the way.
Future Plans
He loves the cruising lifestyle and isn’t going to stop!
Key Takeaways
What can we learn?
➜ You can get paid huge money as a creator
➜ Open your mind to new opportunities
➜ Stay humble and consistent on the journey
➜ Surround yourself with other creators
And start publishing as early as you can.
Conclusion
Jay is not only awesome, but he has remarkably helpful content too. Whether you’re a crew member or passenger, you’ll come away more empowered to have a happier time on board.
