How Much YouTube Paid Me For 10,000,000 Views

If you want to make money on YouTube, you'll need to be ready to play the long game. My channel didn't start to make money until roughly 85 videos and nine months in. If I'd quit 84 videos in, the last five years would have never happened.

In this video, I look at the three lessons I've learnt about turning a personal brand into a business and answer the top questions I'm asked about monetisation on YouTube.

I think realizing that YouTube is a long game and that these videos are investments is truly the difference between successful content creators and non successful ones

[TechwithLucy]

Playing the long game is a great lesson. YouTube takes the most patience compared to other platforms. Thanks for the great video! 😊

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO JUST GIVES IT STRAIGHT TO OUR FACE WITHOUT ANY BULLSHIT.

THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION !!!

[SimonHoiberg]

Amazing video and breakdown, Ali!
I'm getting a ton out of this. Thanks for always being super open and transparent about these figures.
Motivational with no bs 💪

[noxyglow]

Well done Ali. I am learning a lot from your channel and honestly you have been a big inspiration. Patience is the only way up

[JSephH]

Just something I noticed in the video. MKBHD said it took him 5 months and 200 videos. That means he averaged MORE THAN A VIDEO A DAY. He made 200 videos in about 150 days. It doesn't just take time. It takes a whole lot of work and dedication.

This video motivates me & inspires me to keep going!!! *treating videos like digital assets* 👌🏾

[BrielleJuliet]

This is so motivating and you are such a compelling speaker! Loved it so much, and it’s very comforting to hear that even videos that don’t perform right away can pay off in the long term!

[RaoBrandon]

Thank you for putting yourself out there and being so transparent Ali it means the world to people who are also pursuing their dreams. For those of you starting your own YouTube channel, you are not alone! Believe in yourself! 🙌

[InvestorCenter]

It’s interesting how much the CPM rate varies by creator. I have a video with over 2 million views and it made me $32, 000

[FatManBuilds]

Thanks Ali, that was very useful and really focused the mind! I am sure this will eventually be one of you high earners too, great stuff, thanks again!

[AuthenTech]

Thinking of each video as an investment and digital asset is pretty cool. A lot of my top earning content is 1-2+ yr old content. Playing the long game 💪

[jamie]

Just insane amounts of inspiration firing through my brain after watching this. Thanks again Ali. Def joining your course

[BrittPearceWatches]

Maaan, I needed this encouragement! Thank you so much for making this video!

[RayMak]

Congratulations. Really really proud of you

[humayunmaqbool]

Love you Ali for answering questions truthfully and helping others without thinking about if this will be your competition. May Allah bless you even more

[RobLipsett]

Love the breakdown, great video as always!

[RobinB]

Thanks for the informative video! Appreciate it a lot! Currently working hard myself to build a YouTube channel. So this was really helpful/motivating 👍

[BeingAngie]

This is is so insightful am on the second month with my YouTube channel and I was starting to feel low why it's not growing but watching this has motivated me to continue creating content.

[joshsmilerbasketball]
