A creator with under 1,000 subscribers shares his YouTube earnings: $30 a month after 75,000 views. He wasn't monetized until 30,000 views, and he makes it for the community, not the money. He cites Woody's Gamertag earning around $100,000 a year as inspiration.
How's it going, guys? Yes, you did read the title correctly. I am going to be talking about how much money I have made off of YouTube. Now, before I do that, I have to go ahead and get this out of the way. Um, I know I'm a small YouTuber, I know most people don't care, and the amount I've made is actually really small in comparison to the other 500,000 people that upload videos to YouTube. But if you know anything about my channel and if you're subscribed to my channel, there's a good chance you've seen my How Much Does PewDiePie Make video and the second How Much Does PewDiePie Make video and my How Much Does Smosh and KRSPEEDY and yada yada yada. I generally make videos talking about how much other YouTubers make, and you know, instead I wanted to mix it up. Instead of talking about a different YouTuber, I decided today I'd talk about myself. And in those videos, I actually, you know, I really don't know how much those YouTubers make. The numbers I give in my videos, they're just estimates. But this video, obviously, because it's about me, I can give you a pretty legitimate number, and I don't have to guess or, you know, say I think it's this. I can give you a legit number, and I don't know, I think it'd be fun, cool, mix it up. And so here we go. I'll just throw a picture up in the video. It's— you're looking at it, it's on your screen. It took me 75,000 views to make my first $100 off of YouTube. And I'll be honest, I'm sorry, I didn't get partnered till I had like around 30,000 views. So the first 30,000 views, I didn't even, you know, have ads on my videos. But, uh, pretty much it took me 75,000 views on YouTube to make my first $100, and I haven't really made too much after that. I'm making around $30 a month. That's what I'm averaging right now. So if you are considering starting a YouTube channel, a channel my size is making around $30 a month, and it took me roughly 75,000 views to make my first $100, which I know to a lot of people doesn't seem like a lot of money, but I'm a really small YouTuber, and if you compare me to a channel that has a million subscribers, you know, the amount of views I'm getting per day compared to them is just like, it's nothing. It's like half a percent. So, um, that's pretty much that. I just wanted to, you know, show you guys that and mix it up. Instead of talking about a different YouTuber today, I decided to talk about myself. And, uh, I don't know, I think this would be kind of like an encouragement to a lot of people because I know you're gonna say, $30, that's like a dollar a month— dollar a month— dollar a day, that's nothing. And it really is nothing, but my channel is insanely small. I don't even have like 1,000 subscribers yet. So anything I'm getting right now is just awesome. And by the way, I probably should say this, I don't really care that much about the money off YouTube. Like the sole purpose of me uploading videos isn't really for money. I do it because it actually is a lot of fun to see your guys' comments and feedback and things like that. And the money is kind of just a plus. I know I sound like I'm probably just a money whore right now. That's all I care about in life. But, uh, I don't know. Money through YouTube, it's just fascinating to me, and that's why I've always talked about it. I like, you know, just seeing how much people have made off YouTube, because it's crazy how people just upload videos to the internet and make so much money off of it. Or at least to me it is. Maybe to you it might not seem like that, but I've always been fascinated by that. And ever since I heard about my favorite YouTuber, or my old favorite YouTuber, his name, his name is Wow, stutter. His channel name is Woody's Gamertag, and he made a video talking about how he's quitting his job and doing YouTube full-time. And at the time I saw that video, I thought he was crazy because he had a family and everything, and he's quitting his job just to upload videos to the internet. But then I started doing research, and I started seeing that he was making, you know, like $100,000 a year or something crazy like that off of, you know, making Call of Duty videos. And ever since then, I've just been, you know, really fascinated about it and love to talk about it. So, um, this video has been going on long enough. That's pretty much that. Took me 75,000 views to get my first $100, and I'm making about $30 a month, um, if you want to compare my channel. And hopefully you found this video interesting. If not, I apologize. Not really, I don't care. I don't really have an outro though, so I'll just end the video really awkwardly.
