How Much a 90,000 Subscriber YouTube Channel Makes in a Year

[@mlegrand]

I love these videos Ko! Can’t wait to see you hit 100k. Good things happening to good people 👏 🙌🤛🏻

[@kofuzi]

Thanks so much, Matt!

[@Believeintherun]

You deserve all of this and more. So happy to call you a friend.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

You're a brave man sharing this info as your channel gets bigger! Super insightful, thanks for sharing. Early congrats on 100K! You'll be there soon!

[@JeremySry]

WOW. I've been on and off youtube for ~5 years, this was the first video I've come across that actually broke down the numbers and make it make sense - THANK YOU.

[@JeffPelletier]

As a fellow content creator, I really appreciate your openness with your metrics! 🙌

[@angeljohnson234]

Mike, just so you know, I found you on Facebook. I live in Chicago and I asked my running group for recommendations for winter running gear. Someone mentioned your channel and the rest is history. So that's how people might find you on Facebook. Keep up the good work. And, don't forget, there are women who watch your channel. To the extent you can, recommend stuff for us too.

[@WhatKeepsMeRunning]

I can’t thank you enough for all you do. I thought my love of the run was big already, after stumbling on your page after my 3rd marathon in 2021 at the end of November, pushing through those post race marathon “blues” you set my love on fire for running. Can’t wait to see where it takes me this year, planning on a lot of races, 5K’s,15K’s, Half Marathons and 6 Full Marathons!! One of which will be the Chicago Marathon. Hopefully I can do some running with your fan club when I’m there! Going to try my hand at doing some filming this year during all the training sessions since my Redbud Valley sanctuary is just straight up beautiful and spoiling at times here in Oklahoma. I just started running in 2020 during the pandemic, 41 years old now and feel better then when I was in my teens and 20’s. Hopefully I’ll push through 2000 miles this year since I made it over 1,600 in 2021. Again, thank you brother Kofuzi, sorry for the long comment!

[@timtrenholm3698]

Hands down my favourite KZbin channel/personality. I find you so relatable, honest and genuine. Don't overthink the KZbin metrics too much, let your content and yourself, shine through!

[@reeecemichael]

Love it kofuzi, can’t wait to se you get to 100,000!!

[@seekad449]

100K subscriber baby! Woah! ⚡ Thank you for all the vids kof 🙏🏾😊 Have a great year! 🥳🎉

[@DevRunner]

You have no idea how much I appreciate these videos! It was your channel review 2 years ago that finally pushed me into becoming a KZbinr myself! Keep pushing Sir! Thank you!

[@thomasdamato9430]

Mike, super congrats I remember when you did this when you got 30,000 subs you give a great in-depth perspective on your daily efforts, thank you for being so open. People don’t understand you walk a fine line when exposing yourself publicly because many things mentioned can cause controversy so major props to you love your content keep it up.

[@shawnr.9681]

100 K Here we come !! Thanks for the behind the scenes look.

[@LuisBecerra79]

It’s even better watching your channel grow year after year. Been watching since 2019. Can’t wait to see 100k subscribers you deserve this and more subscribers for sure. Thanks for everything you do Ko. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@kofuzi]

Thanks for the support, Luis!

[@JDelta87]

I came across your channel years ago when searching for running earbuds and shoes as I was beginning to run more. I like the way you approached those things and I’ve been here since. 100k is on the way.

[@stickonatree]

Thank you for not having mid roll ads. I really do watch the entire video without them, makes it much more enjoyable, and like you said - I do switch away when I get mid roll ads on other channels, especially non-skippable ones. Happy new year Mike!

[@SeeChadRun]

Very interesting... I was inspired to review the KZbin analytics more on my channel and found it very interesting. I'm VERY close to breaking the 1k subscriber milestone and seeing your channel gives me inspiration, plus I like all of your great running content! Cheers!

[@TracyK6066]

Only 8K away from 100K! Long time fan of your channel, great shoe reviews and running footage. Really enjoyed seeing your spontaneous news interview earlier today by the lake too!

[@leonaleewong]

Thanks for your transparency, Mike! Another attribute that makes you a great KZbinr that us Kofuzians appreciate so much! Been a subscriber for almost three years now and know your channel will keep growing because of the quality of your content.

[@RyansRunningReviewsYT]

As a small KZbinr this information is awesome to see! Had the chance to meet you at the BITR event in Baltimore this past summer. You're awesome and keep up the great work!

[@laurainthehaute918]

Hello, Ko! 😊You still have my vote. Enjoyed this-as an OUTLIER (66 y/o female runner) glad to represent that tiny little purple mark on the graph. Love your water run videos-they’re beautiful. Can’t wait to see your Lake Superior water runs at Grandma’s. I’ll be there!

[@히이로-h6n]

10만 돌파 가즈아아아~ 9만 구독 축하드립니다 ^^

[@elo5193]

Nov 7th was the NYC Marathon. I think a lot of runners were just very excited. I know I was watching a lot of running content before and after even if it wasn't NYC Marathon specific.

[@elo5193]

[@campbe00]

Hey Kofuzi! Impressive how engaged and transparent you are with sharing the process and your experience each year. Refreshing! Happy 2022

[@kofuzi]

thanks for your support!

[@ianlowe4126]

Congratulations Kofuzi on the continued success of your channel and a big thank you for your transparency. Looking forward to meeting you 🤞in October for the Chicago marathon. Ian 🇬🇧

[@TayFra66]

Thanks for sharing once yet again. As always the transparency is much appreciated and insightful for those on the outside looking in!

[@atalk143]

Super props for continuing to be transparent with your audience. I appreciate that you care about our viewing experience and you are willing to forgo some ad revenue for it. BTW, I watched this video from 0:00 all the way to 31:28 and I have zero interest in starting my own YT channel :)

[@kofuzi]

thanks for watching to the end! i don't think there's anything that can help a channel more

[@runtridora27]

Thanks for the transparency as always! I believe you are the best example on this among running KZbinrs!

[@laurenyoung71]

Mike, whatever the numbers tell you - a big 'thank you' for you time and content here on the channel and the podcast!

[@catchpole11]

Well done Mike. And some people think KZbin is easy money!! Keep up the great work.

[@jayolarsch]

I just want to say I enjoy your videos but more importantly, I enjoy your thought process... I like the journey.

[@kofuzi]

thanks so much for watching!

[@iRunOnBeer]

Congrats on another INCREDIBLE year. Can't wait to see you cross that 100k threshold and earn that sweet medal. And thanks for always giving so much energy back to the running community. Cheers man 🍻

[@UltraTrailSteven]

As a fellow running KZbinr, it is really interesting to see this! Congratulations on being over 90k! 100k is coming soon!

[@estevanangel9990]

You’re the man Kofuzi. I started watching you after your Nike epic react review. You deserve all the success, your grind inspires people. 100k is coming and soon 200k.

[@BeermanGamingHQ]

Total respect for transparency. Thanks for that.

[@DanRuns]

Thanks for taking the time to share this info! I’m a long way off your sub count but I find the dashboard thoroughly intriguing and it’s good to geek out! Now to watch the remainder of the vid 😊

[@motivationtheoryrunning]

I have been closing in on 10k for so long, really looking forward to passing it....

[@shaun8666]

You are one of my favourite youtubers, your style and candid explanation of things has really been a level up on other channels, when I see a new vid on shoe reviews especially I get really excited to click and learn

[@AlexFilitti]

Inspiring and humbling, Ko! Thanks for sharing so transparently - your series inspired me to start a similar one. All the best for the next 90k! 🙌🏻

[@enricopiumatti7918]

Your love about running and the passion and trasparency you put on KZbin videos is real and we can touch it every time. Thank you Kofuzi San. Follow you, is a pleasure! 😊😊

[@jason.rams4]

Some of the best content in running and definitely by far best thumbnails! Keep doing what your doing!

[@TrailrunnerTroy]

Thank you for your videos and analysis. I greatly respect your professionalism and quality of your content, including your artistic/creative composition. Wish you well in ‘22!

[@irunovermountains]

This was a very cool video. Super helpful for a smaller channel to see this. The struggle is real!

[@kofuzi]

thanks for watching! good luck with your channel!

[@ryaneick3532]

Thanks for Sharing ! Surprised your Chicago marathon videos didnt make this list .Hope all is well!

[@runningwithaj]

This is an amazing video. Thank you for being so open and transparent with this stuff. As a tiny KZbinr, i like that I can compare and set targets based on someone who is successful. You’ve given me some great inspiration as to what to look at to improve. Well done on 90k. 100k has to be just around the corner. You’re fantastic!

[@stevearenberg]

Congratulations on continuing to grow your channel, and on doing it with positive, helpful, and community-building content.

[@aborgess1]

Best running channel! I'm from Brazil and really admire your work and videos! Thank you!

[@Run_Farah_Run]

You are very deserving of all of this and more! You will hit 100k and beyond before you know it. Thank you for all that you do for the running community!

[@rickyhughes]

Giving out this information and transparency. You are the 🐐 bro. We appreciate you

[@kofuzi]

thank you for watching

[@runningwithjane]

Thank you for the transparency and sharing this. Super helpful for me as a fellow runner with a KZbin Channel. You're rockin' it, Mike, and are inspiring in so many ways. Always appreciate you continuously putting out great content!

[@fantaflesdopke]

Considering the overall quality of your videos, well deserved!! Keep doing what you're doing, you seem to love it and so do we ;-)

[@ericlancaster2889]

Thanks for doing the Ten Junk Miles podcast! It was really interesting!

[@grandeisern]

Congrats Kofuzi u deserve it.

[@BrendonCamm]

Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooo these videos are always so motivating for me. Perfect lunch time activity for today. Thanks for all of the transparency, Ko!

[@kofuzi]

My pleasure, Brendon

[@sun.2801]

I find these analytics videos really fascinating. Thanks for the look behind the curtains, and keep up the great work!

[@apocreg11]

Great video and while I hadn’t conciously noticed you had no mid roll ads that’s great!!!

[@kofuzi]

I think it's ends up with the result that you will almost certainly get an ad before my videos, and I'm not exactly thrilled about that

[@lindal986]

Your camera work & editing are really top notch, I like the trail, marathon, and Lakefront runs the best, thanks for the motivation/inspiration, you sure know how to show shoes too, the graphics are stellar!

[@kofuzi]

thanks so much!

[@anoir1115]

Congrats, have been watching your videos since 2 or 3 years ago. Every time before I went to buy any running shoes, i would come here check your review first. haha

[@kofuzi]

I hope I haven't steered you wrong

[@OldManRunner]

Thanks for sharing all this Mike. Really good to see some metrics on impressions and click through rates. Have a great 2022.

[@VinceHill]

Love the videos! Always interesting!

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Congrats on the 90k Michael, well deserved 👏👏

[@kofuzi]

Thanks so much!

[@reselvski]

Well done, and we'll celebrate with you when you reach 100k! I was wondering how much the thumbs up and the comments affect revenue. Also, I didn't know that the channel owner can decide whether or not there are mid-roll ads -- thanks for not doing that!

[@julienb.4309]

Really cool to share all those stats ! Thx

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

Nice work. That steady growth is looking good.

[@kofuzi]

thanks Drew!

[@jmanonmakes]

This video was so interesting. I haven’t seen anyone else do this. Thank you! Can’t wait to congratulate you on 100k.

[@courtneyr.6680]

Very Interesting. Love your channel. Thanks for all the great content. I appreciate what you do!

[@1519Spring]

Cool to hear that my KZbin premium and Livestream attendance is coming through to you. I didn't know that. Premium is so worth it - no ads except sponsor reads.

[@tomylee]

Thanks. Great that you are that open about a personal topic 👍

[@davidsaxe7077]

Well done!! you deserve it. Can’t wait to meet you in Chicago 2022. 😁

[@gorelkarlsson1513]

Thank you for your videos and sharing. Wish you well in 22. Love from a very cold Sweden

[@kit7579]

Great job! I look forward to seeing more of your content! I found you a couple years ago when I was looking for shoe reviews on a pair of running shoes that were on sale. I usually run by myself so it’s good to see another runner that gives me excitement and motivation to keep running with the running products, training, races, live streams, etc.

[@kit7579]

I’m 38 years old by the way so I pretty much fit the age demographic you were talking about.

[@richardcooper3215]

Very insightful. Huge respect for being so candid about what could be a sensitive subject for most KZbinrs. And for disclosures too. Trust your opinions always.

[@franciscoantoniodelavega8537]

Looking forward to your 100k subscribers, keep it up! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@CLFurlong]

Love seeing your insights and details behind it all! Thanks for sharing mate! Actually these videos you have done over the last few years have been a HUGE inspiration on me sharing my own growth and youtube data as I have grown and progressed. 100k is just around the corner and well deserved!

[@alanbrown9754]

Good luck for the future pal. Love your videos.

[@Davercrooks]

I love seeing this video from you every year and to see the channel grow. Relatively new to the KZbin thing and it is just like a marathon or an ultra marathon. Put in the time year after year and the results will eventually show. Congrats again! 100K here we come!

[@marktrujillo5480]

Great video, not just because of all the information you shared, but for me it proves just how hard you have to work for all of us to keep making some of the best content on KZbin! BTW, your channel is very relatable for us older guys in the 5% age bracket 💪🏼😜

[@alexriberas23]

You're the goat Michael! Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@piero10]

Wow, very brave of you to be so open about your KZbin revenue and very kind of you to share with us what are your thoughts of your highest viewed videos in 2021 and why some are surprising to you. I love your content because you give such good reviews of running shoes of so many brands. I use your feedback to buy shoes that probably will fit my feet and running style the most because it seems very difficult to find useful info from the shoes manufacturers most of the time when they use so much marketing jargons which isn't the most common running language that most runners understand. Keep up the great work!

[@diodeskies9087]

Awesome, thanks for sharing all these details!

[@cuddles1140]

Congratulations and wishing all the best and you grow from strength to strength 🙏🏽👊🏽 and keep on churning out those gr8 videos.

[@lpiseno1]

Keep going Ko! Congrats on all the success, and I can't wait to see you hit that 100,000 mile marker 👍🏽

[@Ianshrew]

Pleased for your success - let’s hope 2022 brings you more revenue!

[@xTruuth]

Always love to see these videos, can’t wait for 100k subs!

[@jamesb.walker9177]

100k SUBSCRIBERS SOON, WELL DONE!

[@cheekster777]

We ❤️ you Mike! Super interesting video analysing and perhaps understanding how the KZbin algorithm works, even for someone who has no interest in starting a channel of my own. Thank you and keep up the great work. 🙏 👍🏻

[@marsme7511]

Excellent content, again! Thanks a lot! Greetings from 🇩🇪

[@kensprague5686]

Good to see you out on the lakefront path in frigid temps, the GoPro really makes you stand out at times. From all this, sounds like I need to just have your videos on in the background for the little extra help!

[@Will_Mitchell187]

Great video very insightful 👍

[@UltraDad]

A lot more than a 1500 sub channel! Lol…thanks again for all the great content!

[@HectorDavide]

appreciated mate! thanks

[@andrewowen2549]

Really interesting content as always! Keep up the excellent vids. You have really helped be become a better runner, with your great advice and gear reviews, thank you! 100k here we come!!! 😀

[@alanbrown9754]

One thing I would defiantly do if I was you is mention the next video and put on screen before your video ends for Your viewers to click on aka Seth. I know I often click on it. That way you can choose what you want to promote. Good luck pal. I’ll definitely be watching.

[@joyridaz]

I also drastically watched much less Seth, after LuluLemon-gate…. I really appreciate your constant transparency.

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

: ) still love yah

[@joyridaz]

@@SethJamesDeMoor - I still am a huge supporter and viewer/subscriber but now my credit card company is thoroughly confused when I shop now both at Lulu AND Ross stores in the same weekend! Keep it coming, and we will always support ya

[@basilagency]

A good man - Right here !)

[@bikeinmotion]

Thanks for the insights and congratulations to the growth! I hope you get some additional sponsored content so you can live comfortably on all your KZbin effort. And btw. don't be so humble ... In the last months I watch every one of your video 'till the end because of good informations and only skip trough Seth's content. Quality over quantity....

[@capsularjerxis]

Very glad that you are getting that money honestly you deserve more for all the benefits that you give to us letting us about the running shoes and also the manufacturer they are entitled to you give you something just saying thanks for everything you do

[@ChrisSee]

Congrats man! So exciting to see your channel continuing to grow! Can’t wait to see where it goes this year. 👊🏃🏻‍♂️👟

[@alexandreparadis2776]

very interesting! thank you for taking the time to go over your metrics, it is appreciated.

[@pascii80]

Female watcher here! I knew that running was a more male dominated sport but was a bit surprised actually to see that the viewership numbers are so vastly different! Anyway, I trained for and ran my first marathon in 2021 and I binge watched so many of your videos as a motivation to keep running (and honestly buying more shoes 😂). But as I watch your videos more, quality of the videos and your work ethics really inspire me in other parts of my life outside of running too, so thank you so much!

[@kofuzi]

Congratulations on your first marathon!
