How Much YouTube Paid Me For 1 Million Views 

This is a great video. I am a super small channel and I have watched lots of "how to grow your channel" videos. This is the best I've seen. Your argument on stability vs volatility and also job vs hobby is really sound. Thanks for the video!

*_I_** subscribed to you at under 500 subs. Congrats I'm happy to see you getting this youtube money !*

Thank you so much! I am waiting for the viral moment. I received up to 80,000 views on one of my videos, but that came over a span of a few years. I am hoping to do that over a period of a month or more. I am monetized but I am only making a fraction of what you are making. Good job!

I usually avoid videos about “how much made from RU-vid” but I really wanted to watch this because I feel so proud of you, seeing how much you’ve grown is inspiring

I feel like the goal isn’t to get paid by RU-vid though. The goal is to get paid by sponsors, Patreon subscribers, and folks that buy your products.

Firstly, congratulations on the RU-vid pay check. Your story is so inspirational and real. Secondly, I love your line of thinking. We’re starting to see so many content creators go back to traditional jobs and burning out on social media because when your passion ends up being a job, it’s a whole new playing field. I used to want to one day be full time on social media but now I really just want to improve on this craft and build a community of like minded people.

I don’t think I’ve ever been so proud of someone I don’t know 😭💕 I’m so insanely happy for you. You’re a breath of fresh air in the midst of drama and negativity on RU-vid. Wishing you an abundance of success, you deserve it ❤️ Cheers to many more subscribers (& nice big Adsense paychecks) 😂😉🎉

I agree with you! It should not be your only source of income. making it your only and main source will lead to burnout so quickly

I agree 100% you kept it 💯 👏🏽

Congratulations

I’m so inspired by you! As a small RU-vidr it really motivates me when other channels hit milestones. I can’t wait to be monetized too! Gonna title that video “God Did It!!” ❤❤❤

This gives me hope. I’ve been monetized for a while but it’s hard. It’s almost like I’m fighting the algorithm. I love it and don’t want to give up but realistically I probably will. I invest so much time and energy into video but it’s barely getting views. Congrats on your success fam! Such a blessing to get paid for what you love ❤

Thank you for sharing this Kamillah 😊

Cheers for sharing your journey 👊🏿🙏🏿

That's incredible! Congratulations on your accomplishments and progress!

So happy for you girl 🥹🥹🥹

Love your attitude to RU-vid and the transparency! Thank you for sharing :)

You mentioned that about charts I 100% agree and you showed us that it does go up and down. This is inspiring to start a hobby channel. I need to face my fear and get on the camera more often. I made my first TikTok video of my face and me talking so I concurred one fear and now I’m ready to start my actual RU-vid channel and make fun videos! It would be nice for the extra income but I’ll also get to enjoy showing what my family does and enjoy doing! ❤ thanks so much for the inspiring videos you post!!

Congratulations 🎉🎉 on your progress and accomplishments on your RU-vid channel!! Thanks for sharing 👍

Kamillah, thank you for sharing your journey 🤗🥁. May your channel continue to flourish 🎉🎈🥁

So happy for you Kamillah! I love the authenticity of this video, thank you so much for transparently sharing how much you've made on youtube since monetization. From a small youtuber, it's quite encouraging.

This gives me sort of motivation. I’ll keep pushing

Thanks for sharing this video. I’m new at RU-vid and it’s helpful to hear how it’s going from someone who hasn’t been doing it for ten years and who has an honest and authentic perspective. Congratulations on your success.

Cogratulations dear ...Im happy for you and you are giving us the small youtubers a spirit of not giving up❤..my prayers is to be monitised before December 😊😊😊😊

You are such a humble and classy lady. I wish you the best in everything you do. And Congrats on your growth ❤

Thank you, this gives me hope ❤

Congratulations. You have been an inspiration with your authentic content

I love this transparency! Your background in this video is super cute too 😍🫶🏽

Thank you for sharing your Analytics. You inspired me so much. Take care

so happy for you! This was such a helpful video for me as a small RU-vidr just starting out :)

So happy for you Kam!! I started doing content around last decemeber and I can already say that i don't want this, as you said, to be my only income. It's risky to predict now how my channel is gonna do but still, the important part of creating is to do it as long as you're passionated and happy. When it only turns into a money machine, you become a slave of always squeeze every inch of your energy, time and creativity to always perform. I don't thrive in that kind of environment so i'm not gonna push myself to that limit. I also have a job that passionates me, so for me having two things - besides my other hobbies - that i know i can invest is enough to be fullfilled. You're doing to great, I'm proud cause i've been following you for months now and it's always a pleasure to hear your insights xx

Congratulations on hitting the 1 million views! So happy for you. I love your channel. I have been following you since I found you some time last year. Thank you for being so honest and sharing to help others out here. I am a small, small Utube channel trying to get started. I am also a senior citizen navigating the world of social media. I am trying to learn and at times it can be so overwhelming. I took a break from it due to i was getting a little too obsessed with all the algorithms, etc. I dont want to lose myself in all of this social media stuff. I am also a full time caregiver to my husband and he and I have been sick in and out the hospital since the new year started till April. Things are finally starting to get better with both our health. So i am going to try my hand again at posting videos and learning from other experienced users. You been one of them!/ Much continued success to you. ❤🙏

Love your videos!

Congratulations! Although we are of different generations, I’m still inspired by you and your story. I have a new RU-vid channel that is slowly growing, but I’m recently seeing a quicker pace. I am an elementary school teacher looking to retire in 8-10 years, so YT is a hobby right now and I’m not relying on it for an income. But my learning curve is high and I’m enjoying the process. Listening to your insight is very helpful. Thank you !❤

That’s amazing I claim this energy ❤❤

Such a great video as always! I love your transparency Kamillah and seeing how your channel is growing!! I’m working towards getting towards my first 1000 so this was inspiring!! ❤

Thank you for the transparency

Thanks for sharing! 💙

Thank you for sharing your journey with us and being really transparent, I'm looking forward to when my channel will get monetized ☺️

❤❤❤ congratulations 🎉 thanks for sharing

LOVE IT!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So cool and inspirational to everyone who runs a small business or small RU-vid channel, too! We're all in this together! Keep going! 🔥

Thank you for being transparent and being you!! I appreciate the inspiration 😊

You go girl! Thanks so much for sharing, I’m super close to being monetized and this makes me feel so much better. I only have one video that’s done about 100k views and I felt pretty discouraged about that, but this helped me realize I’m not alone with that! Keep growing girl! 🎉

I love your authenticity ❤ Congratulations dear

Great video! Can’t wait for the side hustle video!

Congrats to you ❤

Thank you for sharing, it is so inspiring maybe one day I could share my results 😊

Thank you for the transparency!!

Congratulations! I can wait until my dream becomes a reality ❤

Congratulations 🎊

So inspiring!!

Congratulations girl

Thanks for the insight! Especially the putting the RU-vid money in a totally separate account. 👍🏽

Great insight! I am still trying to figure things out as a new RU-vidr!

Congratulations, i love your videos ❤

I feel motivated💯😍 thanks for Sharing

Very inspiring !!! Thanks for sharing this. Thanks for your uniqueness xo from David Newton in Sydney Australia.

Thanks for the important information God bless!

I love that this is honest and more realistic! I’m an amateur artist and I want to post longer videos of the actual abstract process but I just keep self sabotaging lol. I want to dive in now and not focus so much on payment!

Congrats

Great video Sis. ❤

I've felt like giving up many times, but this video inspires me so much! I'm a new subscriber and I'm currently at 57 subscribers. I'd keep trying and put in my best! I hope one day, I'd make videos like this. Thank you for this! Subscribed!❤👍

Congratulations. As a new RU-vidr I can say it’s not easy to attain so much. I am drawing inspiration from people like you and believe soon my hard work will pay off.

I just came across your channel. This is great information for a new youtuber like me. I just started with shorts...hoping to do a video like yours ...of my success soonest.

Thanks 🙏 your video is so cool

Congratulations such an authentic young lady! I am a new RU-vidr it’s so nice to watch people like you so authentic and real. Thank you for sharing.

As a small RU-vidr, I Appreciate your transparency! Gradually making progress but it’s true you don’t know what will gain traction for your channel. Still staying hopefully though 🙌🏿

Your doing amazing can’t wait to see this results. I can’t get my watch hours up.

Hello Kamillah, thanks for sharing. I noticed how you’ve tried to focus on a different type of niche other than the type that blew you up. Don’t you think,you should maintain this type of contents on your channel since a large chunk of your subscribers prefer these types? Just a kind suggestion And maybe, you can create a separate channel for the other contents

You just motivated me to keep going ❤

yeah I don't think fulltime youtuber is not in my future but I enjoy video editing so it's been fun and girl your skin! glowing. I need deets

Just came across your channel and so glad I did :) I've been creating on TikTok and Facebook for awhile, but now starting RU-vid seriously. What did you use to film this video on? The quality / lighting is AMAZING!

It might not be today but I believe that I will be monetized 🙏🏽

Thanks for sharing. I just subscribed.

Congratulations 🎉❤

awesomee

I’m so happy for you I’m just starting out It’s a bit challenging Especially connecting with people I’m just taking it one video at a time Hopefully I’d get here one day

The k you this is inspiring. I started my channel and posted my first video this week so this is inspiring

Nice review.

Great ❤

This is inspiring for a small RU-vidr.

I think so many people get that one good check and they quit their job and end up working harder to chase that one video.

It’s so smart to keep another income stream or two that’s totally seperate from RU-vid. Social media is volatile. I’ve done it for 14 years and still work part time because the money fluctuates HUGELY and has nothing to do with views. It’s all about content topics and how much advertisers will pay - AND - even more so, your demographics. We make so much less per 1000 views in the UK than the US

I totally agree with you. One has to make some compromises on creativity and personal school of thought in order to make so much money out of RU-vid

Good,i just started, after 4 months break

Great video thanks so much I most definitely would not do full time, I work in marketing for a Fortune 500 company but like you I would be doing this anyway and most definitely love doing it

Nice 😊

Congratulations sis ,can you please link the book stand

I'm trying to get monetized and I manifest that me and everyone reading this will be a high figure earner soon! ❤❤ Thanks for your information 🎉

I’ve only uploaded just a few videos because motherhood has taken over my life but I’m planning on being consistent this year and hopefully it pays off because momma needs that extra income badly

I have been trying for 7 months to get my channel monetized and my Adsense keeps getting denied. I wanted to give up but I do enjoy creating content money was just an extra incentive. Your video made me want to just stick it out and I can what’s possible to accomplish as a small RU-vidr thanks!

Wooooow in which niche are you? This is sooo inspiring. I started today to record videos for my yt channel. I m sooo nervous😮

this is insane numbers for small chanel I think! Hope I will move my ass and make a YT content man

Ahhhh ❤

This gives me so much hope especially since I just started my RU-vid journey like a week ago and I only have 2 subscribers 😢 I’m hoping to gain more and get monetized too ❤️

❤❤❤

for me the growth has been so slow i am only at 35 and dont get any views either, im trying not to quit but its hard after spending so much time and not seeing any great results 😭

Which streaming software do you use?

So pretty
