the analytics of a video with 100,000 views (how much youtube paid me & why my video went viral)

[@Courtney-Alice-Gargani]

We appreciate you saying thank you to us. There are some KZbinrs who have no respect for their viewers. They want us to always support them but never say thank you. We have a lot of respect for you. l

[@alexiseldredge]

❤️❤️❤️

[@tess5844]

This is so interesting because your 100,000 views vid was my first introduction to your channel. I found it helpful for understanding KZbin when I started my own channel. Thanks for the awesome content 👍🏼

[@alexiseldredge]

oh awesome! thanks for watching!

[@mehditate]

Thanks for sharing this Alexis, this was really helpful cuz I literally just started my channel and I'm learning as I go. I recently moved to a cabin in the north of Sweden from Miami and I learned so much about myself. It was a silent chaos, but it taught me so much about myself. I now post on KZbin about self improvement after surviving the Boston Marathon Bombing and ending up homeless, working the night shift in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Miami and living with PTSD. I appreciate you🙏🏽

[@alexiseldredge]

You sound like an incredible person with a very inspiring story. Best of luck to you and your channel- I will definitely check it out!

[@mehditate]

@@alexiseldredge Thank you Alexis! Sending you all my best!

[@TheBookofDonna]

So I am “one of those” people who doesn’t usually watch vloggers, but I have been wanting to start a yoga KZbin channel and wanted to see what the journey is like for a new KZbinr since there are so many. I truly appreciate the info you share and your openness. And I subscribed because I like you explained this and you have a great approachable and authentic personality. Thank you!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you! I’m glad this helped and I’m so happy you are here!

[@DavidandSarah]

We're loving these analytic videos. It really helps small channels like us!

[@alexiseldredge]

yay! i am so glad!

[@MonikaSinkeviciusVlogs]

Definitely 🎉

[@therealhannahlee]

This video made me so happy for you! I found your channel from that video, and it turned out that the rest of your channel is exactly the type of content I watch (& similar to the content I make myself!) I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos since then, and can’t wait to see you continue to grow!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you so much! we definitely have a TON in common!

[@Magdalenarob]

Thank you, you are one of my fav KZbinrs 😍 I can see that your channel is growing 😍

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you so much!!

[@thatdavidvlog]

Just watched your analytics video, thank you I found it very helpful xx I will defiantly be watching you going forward too 🙌🏼

[@diimpho]

That video is how I found your channel! It was super helpful because it’s so far off to compare myself to a channel with hundreds of thousands of subs when I’m literally fully in the growth phase :’) Obvs enjoyed how you laid out the content and have since enjoyed tracking back on your other vlogs that are more of what your channel’s about - keep it up! Loving what you’re putting out 🌻

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you for watching! I’m so happy you’re here! ❤️

[@ED-007]

Love the authenticity of these. Very inspiring. It’s so hard to stay consistent. That’s the biggest win.

[@alexiseldredge]

consistency is key!

I'm rewatching all your analytics video. It inspire to keep going

[@Zdrowe_Zmiany]

thank you GIRL ! 💛 I'm still working for that! 💗🙏🏻

[@alexiseldredge]

you're welcome!

[@Zdrowe_Zmiany]

@@alexiseldredge May I ask you: 🙏🏻😊Do you live working only with youtube now? Do you need any other job with so many subscriptions? 🌿

[@heysummerj]

i found your channel when you were at 10k and to see you today at 20k is amazing!

[@kennedyggreen]

I just found your channel and I love it! I'm just now getting started and wanting to post consistently but feeling a little insecure and nervous about it. I just started posting some shorts to try and grow my channel before I get started posting longform vids. Keep up the good work and thank you for the tips!!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you! best of luck with your channel, I totally understand feeling nervous about it- when I first started I was so nervous what people would think, but my best advice is to just do it!

[@suelyons531]

I have no desire to have a channel but I am fascinated but how youtube works and how people are paid for what they do. You are a great teacher of how it all works and I think that's why you went viral. Well done!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!!

[@cinematicstreet6868]

Very interesting video because so many people are curious about making money in YT. Especially from a vlog channel youtuber. But don't change your overall content strategy. Keep making vlogs that document your life. This is your creative engine. The variety content got you going and will keep you going. Most people just watch KZbin growth hacking channels but never actually start a channel and grow it. Most people give up. Then they just watch vlogs because they are more relatable and helpful. Vlogs have a natural power, and that's why they are all so popular and have been so from the beginning of KZbin.

[@alexiseldredge]

I totally agree! I love vlogging and it is my favorite type of video to film and edit

[@jahanban]

This is so inspirational, just started my channel and following your journey is very motivating.

[@alexiseldredge]

thanks! best of luck to you!

[@Simplylakesha]

Love the variety of your videos! Thanks for sharing, another great Vlog! ❤

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!

[@sunflowerstatelifestylellc]

Thank you for the real breakdown. I just found your channel. Great video, and I like seeing the analytics for a smaller channel ❤

[@BillJamesWallace]

Loved this video! Thank you for being open and sharing your journey! 🙏

[@alexiseldredge]

thanks for watching!

[@ferdinandvalentin5475]

I definitely see value in having someone who doesn't make content specifically about youtube analytics sharing their analytics. It's like learning about math in school versus seeing an actual real-life application of math. At least that's how my brain sees it lol.

[@alexiseldredge]

oooo that is such a good comparison!!

[@lore.5953]

Me too! I’d subscribe and watch only those videos. They are great! Thank u for sharingggg

[@MiddleAgedSwedeGoesForAWalk]

Thank you for sharing this! As someone who's been spending an unhealthy amount of time staring at my analytics page I find videos like this really interesting. Also have to admit I came here from your youtube-pay video. As you say both in that video and this one, seeing things from the point of view of a "smaller" channel is really interesting since it feels more within reach than the big multi-million sub channels do (even if it's nice to dream big at times as well :) )

[@Budgetwithmee]

My videos are at no views but watching this rly does make me wanna keep going. We appreciate the honesty thank you!

Thank you for this guide. Great to learn from someone who started small and growing!

[@NailsbyMeesh]

i found you from that video a few days ago i really like you and your content

[@madelineraeedwards]

QUESTION: how consistent were you monthly/weekly during that first year and some change it took to be monetized?

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you for watching! best of luck with your channel as well!

[@thechrisverhoeven]

Thanks, Alex for making this video. To be honest, I kinda stopped watching the KZbin expert channels because yes, they share their analytics but those really don't help for other content creators, other than other youtube expert channels. I also feel like more and more people start KZbin tips channels because that is what they see work so well. Personally, I watch all kinds of channels, from Graham Stephan to Kelly Stamps and a lot of other KZbinrs who don't really have a specific niche, since I don't want to do that myself either. I'm looking forward to your end of the year overview.

[@alexiseldredge]

yes! I have always loved channels without a specific niche as well and definitely wanted a channel like that for myself. thanks for watching!

[@MeghanMoss]

I knew it! You surpassed your Sept goal of 12.5k subs 😊 great job, and congrats on the 100k views vid!

Welcome to the viral club, here are your tickets! 🎟 Also, I'm super happy to see you went viral, that video was the reason I found your channel.

I am definitely just trying to grow. I have 2 channels, one is my author channel and one is a gaming channel. It is a struggle to grow .

it’s a long journey, but if you stick with it it will pay off!

[@ShonnaKaldwellAuthor]

@@alexiseldredge I am definitely going to stick with it. I'm having fun at the very least.

[@thekoshertourist]

i just watched it earlier and 6 months later it's got 474k, not too shabby, 3x growth on that vid in 6 months, very nice. Seems like your RPM is a bit over $7, but like you said, maybe bc that video more money-oriented as is this one, which hasn't yet taken off - maybe update the title to how much yt paid me for 100k views, and that's it. leave the rest in the description, just a thought ;)

[@FinnsLife554]

Thanks for this. I’m trying so hard to grow atm

[@Courtney-Alice-Gargani]

Thanks for sharing this. When you post a video, do you think some videos get more viewers than others based on content? Or is it hard to say?

[@alexiseldredge]

yes for sure!

[@RamonaB1997]

Hey girl hey ❤️❤️

[@alexiseldredge]

hiiii ❤️

[@heladolosviernes1283]

KZbinrs that make finance or analytics videos have a higher cpm and rpm because the viewers who watch these videos are usually adults who are more likely to clic and watch and consequently tend to spend more money on the ads that are advertised. In you're case you are def above the average.

[@MarlonArts]

😎

[@MonikaSinkeviciusVlogs]

I am about to get monetized ❤❤❤❤ i am so excited 🎉

[@SampsonBert]

Does it count when you share your videos with others?

[@madelineraeedwards]

I came to this video from that video haha

[@robodad1]

It’s ironic because I only watch the ones about your KZbin tips/growth

[@digital_madness]

you should make twitch

[@alexiseldredge]

haha people have told me that, but I’m not a gamer!

[@katrinhalookca]

You know you've made it when the spam bots show up in your comments 😅

You should make a video on taxes for KZbin revenue

[@sirwm3107]

Thankfully your sweet and very cute…so regardless I’m going to keep cling on you. Wishing you well. Enjoy.

[@LivingOrganismFromMarsAndVenus]

That's nice but definitely not as a single source of income. I'm still wondering how people live lavish life just from making you tube videos. Maybe from sponsors because in NYC you wouldn't be able to survive with 2000$ average per month. I wish you grow big and bigger because that's really hard work. Do you need to pay taxes from you tube income as well?

[@JoePAcalaughs]

Lol it's at 337k now.

[@wayreeasmr]

I think you should ditch the vlogs and basically just do yt tips apartment hunting yt growth. I honestly watch you for those content pieces because of the honestly brutality and encouragement to keep going

[@alexiseldredge]

thanks for the insight! i think i will definitely keep my vlogs around because i have an audience for them , but i will sprinkle more videos like this in to my content if that is what people want to see!!

[@PamelaRuddyUKart]

I've certainly watched other channels who have gone down that route (yt growth niche) because they had some videos take off. And I think they've done well from it financially short term BUT they've ended up having to change direction with their channel later to maintain their own interest and motivation. There's only so many KZbin analytics videos from one creator that is informative for people to watch anyway. I think Alexis has been smart in setting the expectations clearly on what her channel is about and committing to still producing the content she's excited about. And amongst the people who got suggested her YT YT videos on the home page, some will stay for her personality and shared interest in the other stuff she's doing. Mid October and I'm here because the video talked about in this video got home page suggested to me today. I'm assuming it's continued to spike up again!

[@BrielleJuliet]

Random note but the fact that your “how to realistically grow on KZbin in 2022” video isn’t in your KZbin growth playlist is bothering me😂 lmao
