How much youtube paid me in my first month { + my journey to monetization}

How much can you expect to make on your first YouTube paycheck after qualifying for the YouTube Partner Program? This video shares how much youtube paid me in my first month--or my first 30 days being monetized--complete with my analytics.

I also share my monetization journey and those of other creators I look up to--complete coincidence that they are all Canadian YouTubers.

🥳 🎉 MASSIVE THANK YOU TO:

@JennJackson

@MikaylaGreenwood

@DownieLive

@itsdanielleryan

@KofiYeboah

@KeltieOConnor

For context, this is how much I made as a small channel that predominantly does talking head educational videos targeted towards aspiring content creators. The niche really came into play for determining my first YouTube Payment

Hope this gives you insight into how people make money on Youtuber and the huge range in what youtubers can make.

MAJOR thanks to my creator community for helping out with this video—literally hadn’t even intended to make it completely Canadian-focused—that's just how the cookie crumbled, and I think it's pretty cool. 🇨🇦

Transparency often feels hard to come by in this space, and I'm beyond grateful for their openness and help. All of their content is SO unique and SO good--definitely pay them a visit.

Awesome video. I am small YouTuber, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Fame- ster, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).

Also there was SO MUCH great material from the other creators--I wish I could have included it all but this would have been an hour long. 😂 It DOES make me want to commit to my goal of making a video podcast though to have more of these conversations... what do we think? 👀

[PJwDragonfly]

Kudos to you for sticking with it. Your genuine energy shines through the noise. That takes time. 👏

[BrittanyBoyd]

Yessss love the structure of this video. SO GOOOD! Thank you for sharing your metrics as a reference point. I don’t see many include their RPM!

[Terrialshae]

I love this video ! I love the editing, the style, and the content ! Thank you so much for sharing this journey and the others!

[thehomeworkdad]

This is a GREAT video! Well done! I will be following your growth and pray that you are blessed with the growth your looking for!

[kristidoingthings]

This was so great! Our roads to monetization feel so similar. So often we’re feeling so discouraged by the lack of views but it just takes that one for people to start seeing what you have to offer. Congrats on getting monetized and keep up the great content!!!❤

[klarabartos]

That's honestly amazing achievement, and thanks for providing your insight. Getting that first paycheck from YouTube is one of my favorite memories. I still remember it, there was lots of emotions involved. If it wasn't for my consistency and hard work (and a little bit of Famester of course), I probably wouldn't have made anything.

[muhayyooo]

I need your patience, girl! Well-done and good luck

[StevieMStarks]

The fact that you know all these YouTube is amazing! & I’m so glad you’re so transparent about everything so a person doesn’t go in blindly!

[TheRLSLife]

I always get so much from your videos! The editing is top notch! I won’t give up! Thank you for your transparency!❤
