How long it took me to get monetized on YouTube and what I earned in the first month! (I’m shocked!)

In this video, I’m sharing my journey to KZbin monetization, breaking down exactly how long it took and how much I made in my first month! After nearly 11 months of consistent effort-posting one video per week and over 100 reels-I finally hit the monetization milestone. Whether you're curious about the process or looking for inspiration on your own KZbin journey, I’ll give you all the details, from the challenges I faced to the rewards I received. Tune in to find out if the grind was worth it!

Having started watching your videos about Hurghada as I was going there, I really enjoy your content. I wish you every success. Keep going!

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

Thank you so much!

[@ReissTravels]

Really insightful, we’ve been a big fan watching you every Friday over lunch for the last 3 months! Congratulations on being monetised 🎉

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

That is crazy and amazing to hear. Honestly, thank you, and this is only the beginning 💪

[@Shal7om]

Thank you Max for sharing all these details with us and mentioned every single thing, even your emotions and goals. I'm actually enjoyed every single video in your channel, specially the ones in Egypt. I know the effort and the risk you need to put, when you go all around the local places. Almost no body speaks the language and there's a lot of weirdos. I hope you'll make more than that and I'll enjoy watching you improving.

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

Hello, thank you so much. I really appreciate it 😁😁

[@Homeless-Harry]

Congratulations on the success, look forward to see what you do in the future 🎉

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

Thanks mate!!

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

Thanks 😁😁

[@pollatso]

Started watching your content last night stumbled across them think it may have been the £10 challenges that steered me in the right direction tonight I will binge watch all of Egypt content enjoyed the shopping content alot..👍 personally I would never have watched the surfing videos nor South Africa but because I have enjoyed the rest so much i probably will im nearly 60yo from Doncaster (if any of that feedback helps) more shopping in markets different Mediterranean places, prices really interesting stuff like that. Great content keep it up & don’t let popularity change the way you do things 👍👍🙏🇬🇧

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

Hello, thanks so much. I really do appreciate it, and I am so grateful that you enjoy watching my videos! There will definitely be some more videos about shipping all around Egypt!

[@raymorrissey3628]

Hey Max just a shoutout to say well done, in regards to when you post your uploads, for me I watch them after work when I go to bed so Weekdays are definitely better for uploads in my opinion. Good luck and well done again

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

Thanks for that. I will try it!

[@zummy41]

Ey up mate. I've watched all your vlogs over the past couple of weeks and really enjoyed them.the hurgada one got my interest as we were there on holiday last year for the first time. Keep um coming pal cheers.

[@LivePNW]

As someone who is just starting KZbin myself this gives me hope. I feel like I’m late to the party. I just stumbled on your KZbin because I’m headed to Egypt next week and I’ve enjoyed your videos in Cairo and Alexandria. I genuinely hope you keep pushing! Also, a deep question. How do you afford to travel so much?

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

Yeah, I loved watching videos like that when I just started youtube! I am a kitesurfing instructor, so I am working most days

[@jacobmuirhead7786]

Fine, ill start a travel youtube. I want that feeling. Your excitement is contagious!! Give me a couple of months, but let me get it up and running and lets colab 😀

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

Nice man, I am waiting for it 🔥🔥

I love the do something epic t-shirt

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

Me too

[@emma_m0]

I found your channel because I’m thinking of booking my first trip to Egypt in February. Which area would you recommend sharm el sheikh or hurghada?

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

I have never been to sharm, so I would have to say hurghada or El Gouna

[@Valdemort-tw5ct]

I forgot a question. How is the weather/water in November?

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

The weather for someone from Europe is still good around 25-30°c in the day and at night it gets colder but still not to bad. The wind is not so consistent because it is not in season but there is still wind but make sure you have a spring/summer wetsuit

[@MAGA-Morons]

Travel, Explore Repeat, but instead of the arrows around the world put "Yorkshire Lad Abroad", Many Many years ago i was a screen printer, i used to print, Tees Sweats and football tops with logo's its was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away lol.

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

That's a good idea thanks 👍 there is also some other stuff I wonna change on them like I said that's just the first copy

[@thechronicle.entertaintment]

You are honestly amazing person 🎉 Please could you recommend your editing app for me please

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

Hello, what's that?

[@angielski_inaczej]

And it's not worth it at all.

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

What??

[@Valdemort-tw5ct]

I've been following you since June because I traveled to Hurghada in June. I liked your videos immediately and I watched all Hurghada and all kitesurfing videos from start to finish. In one video you talked about inDrive and that information helped me alot when i was in Hurghada as i had huge problems with Uber and the Uber drivers. You even got me interested in kitesurfing, so im planing to go back to Hurghada and stay 1 month to take a course in el Gouna. So keep going with your channel, youre doing a great job. I will support you by watching every video from start to finish👍🫶

[@Yorkshire_lad_abroad]

Thanks for watching and I am glad I could help you with the indrive app it is a big help. Good luck with kitesurfing it is truly an amazing sport and before you go make sure to watch a load of videos on KZbin because it will give you a good idea on how it works and key points. Thanks again and this is just the beginning for my channel!!
