Element Animation makes roughly $14,000 monthly from YouTube ads on 7 million views, but Patreon pledges add over $11,000 per video. Combined, the 1.5 million subscriber channel earns about $25,000 a month, with some patrons pledging $10,000 per upload.
What is up guys? Today we're gonna be talking about how much Element Animation makes off of YouTube. Now generally when I make these type of videos, I talk about people with like 8, 9, 10 million plus subscribers, and Element Animation only has 1.5 million. I say only when that's still a ton of subscribers, but there's a reason I'm actually talking about it. But real quick, I'll just run you through their stats. They have 180 million video views, which means they haven't quite made a million dollars off YouTube. But they're approaching it. That's a ton of views. They have 1.5 million subscribers and they're getting around 7 million views per month. Now, 7 million views is a little less than PewDiePie gets per day, and they're getting that many in a month. They're getting around $14,000 per month. Now, I say all that to mention that they just put out a video talking about how they started a Patreon— Patron campaign, I believe how it's pronounced— and pretty much it's a website where you can pledge an X amount of money for every video they upload. So if they— if you pledge a dollar and they upload a video, you pay them a dollar. If you pledge $2, they upload a video, or— and they upload 2 videos, you pay them $4. Pretty much you pledge an amount of money and every time they upload a video, you pay that amount. So between all their patrons, people have pledged over $11,000. So every video, every video Element Animation uploads to their channel, they get $11,000 from patreon.com from all the people who pledged money. Now that is crazy, because that's almost more money than they make off of YouTube ads from pledges from people. And so that's pretty much the main reason I'm talking about them right now, because that's, that's pretty cool. $11,000 they'll get per video, even if like that, not including the ads or anything, just from people who love their videos and decided to pledge money. And I thought that was really interesting. So, um, it is a group of animators. It is not just one person, because The reason they started their Patreon campaign is they said they need a little bit more money because there's a lot of animators and they wanted to possibly hire a couple more. So obviously $14,000, I guess, wasn't enough for all them to be paid each month. So $11,000 per video. If they uploaded, you know, a video every 5 days, that'd be like $60,000+ just from that campaign alone. And then, you know, they get the money from the YouTube ads. And so, um, That's pretty cool. Um, that's pretty much the main reason I'm talking about how much they make, because if more people pledge money, then they're going to be making more money off of pledges than they will YouTube ads, which— that's— I mean, that's, you know, something you wouldn't think would actually happen. But, uh, that's pretty much that. They do make pretty good videos. Uh, their most popular series is an Eggs Guide to Minecraft, and I watch it from time to time. It's not bad. So, um, that's pretty much that. They are making technically $25,000 a month off of YouTube. A month, not day. I almost said day. But $25,000 a month off of YouTube, $11,000 off of pledges, and $14,000 off of YouTube ads. And I thought that was pretty crazy, just how that many people would pledge that much money to them. I think one guy pledged $10,000 per video or something crazy like that. But yeah, pretty much that. Hope you enjoyed, hope you learned something, and I'll see you later.
