When I wanted to get monetized on RU-vid, I watched all sorts of films trying to work out what I might expect to earn. There were huge channels with millions of followers and they earned millions of dollars, but what about a small art channel? Would I ever make any money or would I always be doing it for the love of watercolour (I would probably still do this if I earned nothing, but something really helps!!). It was hard to find information, so I thought I would share how much I made in 2023, in case you are thinking of building your channel next year.
I got monetized in June 2022. I am an artist in the UK and my channel is all about watercolour. I had been on RU-vid since 2010, but only to watch. I uploaded one film in 2013 and did nothing more until 2018. Then a few in 2019 - mostly about artwork or exhibitions. Well 2020 struck and I started making films for my art class students, as we could not meet during lockdown. I realised more than my students were watching and I go a few subscribers, but as a New Year resolution I decided to upload a film every week in 2022 and to try and get monetized. I did it in June and from there the channel has gradually grown. 2023 is the first full year of monetization. I uploaded 77 films, got 50000 likes and one million views. I now have 34,000 subscribers (which is irrelevant for the amount you get paid). So what did all that mean I got paid?
If you have any questions, I will try and help. Just leave a comment - I read them all. I made a follow up film with lots of answers to questions, as this film got 30,000 views in its first week. You can see it here: • How much did RU-vid p...
Every week I share a tip, trick or technique I wish I had known when I started painting, so if you enjoyed this please like, comment and subscribe. Or if you have a watercolour problem, let me know and maybe I can help?
