Hi friends! In today's video I'm sharing how much YouTube paid me for (almost) 1 million views. This is a 6 month youtube monetization update, but I also share my perspective on why I don't think most people should pursue YouTube full-time. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for watching, I'll see you next week, and in the meantime, don't forget to spend time creating :)

Keep up with me here:

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

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

[shacklesoff]

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 YouTube” but I really wanted to watch this because I feel so proud of you, seeing how much you’ve grown is inspiring

[Glowithgia]

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 YouTube. Wishing you an abundance of success, you deserve it ❤️
Cheers to many more subscribers (& nice big Adsense paychecks) 😂😉🎉

Firstly, congratulations on the YouTube 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.

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!

[Yokaidigital]

i personally want to have youtube as my fulltime job. i love it so much.

[faithfullyirie]

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

[MorewithMonica]

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

[GambillDataEngineering]

What great insight! This is very encouraging for a small channel just starting. I'm doing it just to give back to my profession. Being monetized would just be extra. Congrats on your success!

[UniqueBolanle]

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

[sarahtakesnotes]

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

[greeninspiredliving]

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. ❤🙏

[TeeOohDeeDee]

Congrats!! It’s great to see your dream came true!! 😊

[HaleyWebb]

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 YouTube 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!!

[mashantha]

Love your attitude to YouTube and the transparency! Thank you for sharing :)

[eShawnny]

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 ❤

[heathergosse]

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

[erinmgiles]

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! 🎉
