how much youtube paid me as a small channel (while balancing a full-time job)

How much money can you earn on YouTube as a small creator just starting out? Here's a full-year of income while going from 5k to 39k subs. This is a good benchmark if you're lazy and inconsistent (AKA working a separate full-time gig) like I was. :)

Hi this is so refreshing! Since I plan on starting my YouTube journey on my other YT channel. It’s nice to see someone small and the transparency of your earnings!

You're doing great! My watch hours is usually 10k to 15k hours per month with 5k subs. But you're making more than I am probably great RPM. Have you figured out what makes YT seem to go from $5 RPM to $15RPM and up and down all year? Keep going -- you're living the dream! Can't wait to see you reach 50K subs and then 100K

You know, I’ve been watching a lot of these videos lately. BUT, I haven’t managed to watch the other ones all the way through. And I know why I am able to sit through yours. Firstly, the background music and your voice is such a chill vibe. You are not performing. When everyone else does. I need to learn how to not perform (at least not too much) when the camera is on.

Super well done on your successes! This is so inspirational!

This is the most open and honest YouTube earnings video that I ever seen. Salute to you! 😅❤
I had watched about a hundred of similar videos in YouTube so I think I’m entitled to give this comment.

[cheermischi]

Thank you for sharing! You just motivated me to edit my next vlog. ❤

[Itssparkledarling]

Such a great video thanks for sharing 😊

[DinaLu]

Loved this video!!! Congrats on the growth! I had a weird cut in RPM last month for about 1-2 weeks, similar to the one you had, but I think yours was longer. It was weird! RPM totally cut in half

[shakiki]

Thanks for sharing! This encourages me to keep going on my channel, I'm having slow growth but I appreciate any growth😊

[SangHTX]

Great job!
You got carried by your Notion video.
Maybe you should make more videos on that topic.

[itsbambam]

Your voice is soothing, the background music as well and you’re pretty too!!! :)

[dlowder]

I love seeing the real. It’s interesting and inspiring. I look forward to the day I can make one of these videos.
