How much Youtube paid me in my first 6 months 

I just watched the whole ad so your next payment will be more ❤

I love your advice of staying authentic to yourself! I just started a sewing YT channel and will definitely keep that in mind when I’m filming.

11:46 🙌🏻 Preach! When I was a teen and very young adult I used to tell my grandpa my goals, saying things like, “someday, if I ever I win the lotto, I’m going to buy a really nice car!” … he would chuckle at me and ask, “when was the last time you bought a lotto ticket?” 😂 I would reply with something like, “come on grandpa, you know I don’t buy lotto tickets! I can’t risk losing even a dollar, bc I am saving up for a car!” He would say, “Kiddo, if you don’t buy the lotto ticket, you will never win the lotto. You don’t have a chance to win anything at all if you don’t take the risk and try to win. You need to decide if you prefer to risk losing a little cash here and there, or if you prefer to lose the chance of ever winning the lotto. If you want to not have a chance to win the lotto… ok, it’s your life, you decide what you want to do. But stop talking about ‘someday if you win the lotto’, if you don’t ever try to win the lotto.” 🎯 💰⚖️💸

That is wild growth. Congrats, well-deserved! 👏

Great video, I love your positive vibe. I am a sign painter and just got started on youtube. Like you I am not chasing money, I am doing this because of the passion I have for my craft and to hopefully inspire someone to pick up a brush and paint. Hope you continue to grow your channel, you deserve it 🙂

Great video. Your art is amazing. I’m new at YT and this video with your real life experience, is actually helpful. I also totally agree about how cool YT is for creatives and puts the power back in our hands. Thank you and best of luck.

Appreciate the clarity, i wish you and your channel the best

I just discovered you but I love your videos. Your art is absolutely stunning but you're also so funny and humble and I think that is what makes me like your videos. I hope your success continues to grow! Thank you for your insight as I am researching the potential of being a you tuber about sharing some art and mental health collaboration type things. Even if you didn't have videos about money or business, I would still watch you!

Evening Kayla! :) Suuuuuuuuuuper congrats on all your work, talent and success!!! Your artwork is truly out of this world! You are a real life superhero! I'm sure your plaque is already in mail, so just believe, always keep creating and don't stop! Cheers!!! Subscribed :)

Really awesome job, and wow to that growth! Great work and keep it up!

You are a lot of fun to watch, thanx for you insight ❤

Wowzer March was crazy well done 😎, also couldnt agree more.....when I do a video edit out all pauses make it flashy add sounds it doesnt do well, If I leave a video with pauses and mistakes it does waaay better. Viewers defo prefer the real feel

Can I just say, thank you! Thank you for your words of hope! As a mum of 2 small kids. I'm also an artist and would love a way to start a channel here, to share my mummy, art experience with others who can maybe relate. But what do I lack in? Obviously, confidence 🙄 😅 But somehow everytime I eatch your videos, you happen to say the exact advice I need to hear in that moment. So I will get on here, asap! Thank you. I love your art and channel. So great work, hunni 👏 🎉 And I'll hopefully be a fellow art tuber any day now 😅 🤞

Congratulations that’s awesome and I love your non RU-vidr RU-vid tips! Great vibes here!

I love your authenticity ❤

Awesome video! Thank you!!!

I want to thank you for everything youve been doing, I greatly appreciate you. ❤

Thank you, great video! You've inspired me to create more videos.

Really great content, Thank you so much

Please do this again at the 9 month mark! This is so helpful. I had an art channel when RU-vid first came out… had I stuck with it… oh boy. 😢wouldn’t be working my 9-5. 😅

i agree on the relatability!

Congratulations! I am not going to give up still swinging my pickaxe

U ROCK!!!!

that's amazing!

lol I got so tired of being yelled at by RU-vidrs like “TODAY WERE GOING TO” turn the volume down, today we’re turning down the volume 😂 Thank you for this, I love this, watching all the ads for you ❤

so inspiring

I appreciate this video... Thank you!!

Loved this video!❤ I will keep on going , 66 subscribers so far, but I’m determined to keep on going till I can earn, like you said, I’m gonna be making art anyway, so I’ll keep making videos, and uploading them. You are a natural at talking to camera. I’ll take a lot of advice from this, and a bit more hope! 🙏👏👏👏🤞

Just found you! Subscribed 😊🎉

7:50 lmaoo on point!

I watched the whole video , Your art is beautiful, I hope you start selling 10k paintings soon InshaAllah. An idea to make hours long videos is just film yourself in real time painting something, that will also give who ever buys your painting something valuable to go with it

Kayla you are so adorable and you have wonderful information.

This is one of the most engaging videos I’ve watched. Please make a channel where you speak of content creation even if it is just recycled content. Your style of speech is very easy to listen to. Love from 🇾🇪✌️

Also are you able to pick your ads? If so, of course art specific ads but also music! Music for me and art go hand in hand. I cannot paint without my music. ❤

Thank you so much

I just found out about you bc I watch your brothers videos hi I subscribed I love art and people talk about nostalgic shows so I watch him for old shows and you for art haha 😃

Great job! I’m very close to be monetize too! Congratulations!

everyone who is trying to reach the same milestone, good luck to you!

Are you concerned at all about lower Average Percentage Viewed on longer videos? Like if you make a 60-minute video, if someone watches 15 minutes that's good watch time but only 25% view percentage.

Hi Kayla!! Thank you for once again an amazing video! ❤ I just wanted to know your opinion on shorts, I recently saw a video saying that it’s bad for small creators to post shorts because they will grow an audience with a shorter attention span who won’t watch their long format video. However with your success it got me thinking, would you recommend shorts after you are already monetized or would you say it’s not worth it because it affects your long format video? Thank you for your experience! ❤

Lovely video as always . I’ll never watch a video that has an ad to start that you can’t skip at 5 seconds. I just switch straight back off however much I wanted to watch it. And any more than 2 adverts in a video I’m gone. It’s google’s little cash cow. Censoring and brainwashing. Shame it’s so rarely we find a little gem like you.

🙌

im doing RU-vid for 1 year see how it does I'm 6 months in slowly but steady what i like doing off free time

Whats your brothers channel?

congrats thats great! wish i can one day reach there too im trying to reach 1000 thats my goal for now im at 225 right now hopefully i can reach 1000 and the 4000 hours and be able to earn as well fingers crossed 🙏❤

No Ali Abdaal style popup stickers, still I watched to the end. I guess trust is also important for retention

Also also! (Sorry, not sorry- 3rd comment haha) I PREFER the videos that aren’t over the top when it comes to art. Why? Because it’s so unattainable. I would love to switch from acrylics to oils. Maybe a “oil painting for dummies”. I am sooooo clueless when it comes to “why pick this vs that oil mix, what paints are truly the best bang for your buck? What canvas? What to prime with? Drying time? Etc” Other ideas: how to paint water droplets (like the one in your recent painting) in oils. How to paint skin texture. Etc

I’m a YT premium viewer, but I’m very much interested in improving my drawing skills. I’ve just reached 1000 on my German channel. I’m looking for tutorials how to draw cartoons now. I wish you a wonderful start into your week 👋

👍👍

im at 15 subs wish me luck everyone!

Hey Kayla , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

Kayla, I heard you mentioned Kelly stamps. Do you still watch Her videos? I think she comes across as conceited and tries too hard. I love your genuineness. You definitely don't try too hard and are hilarious in the process. I prefer real people like you. I wonder if Kelly let the success go to her head... Because now she makes a crap ton of money from RU-vid and her more recent videos are not like her videos in the beginning at all. She's evolved over time and I don't really like who she's become. Glad you got monetized. I'm in the process of doing that. They make it so difficult to do on here!

I love the authenticenty of this video! It's down to earth and relatable! Gain a sub from me. 👏

Hey hello I really like your art. Videos I’m monitized tooo// but can you tell me in short how did you make money on Instagram
