ha ha, actually to be fair, I'm a middle aged crone, sitting talking to herself, shivering, in a shed, at the bottom of the garden, while it's raining too hard to run back to the warm house, talking about watercolour. But that was a bit long winded!!!

Really?? Glad you found it interesting and hope you enjoy it here.

[@carronalee]

You’d be surprised. There are 1000s of these types of videos. Many KZbinrs are quite happy to divulge their earnings as they’re very proud of having been able to produce really good content. Indeed…these type of videos themselves make them a lot of money because everyone finds these details fascinating. 👍🏼

[@LizChadertonStudio]

I’ve seen this type of film before, but a lot of people don’t seem to have, so I guess it gets served up to different audiences@@carronalee

Welcome to the channel!

[@bigblue6917]

Well done, Liz. Onward and upward. KZbin Shorts are more like making advertisements for you channel, only you don't have to pay for your adverts to be shown. I've started following several channels which I came across through KZbin shorts. So it may be worth your while doing an abbreviated version of your video and invite people to come and watch the full version.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

I have done that a few times. It’s interesting shorts get more dislikes than longs. I think they are shown widely, and sometimes to the wrong people. But free ad is a good way of looking at them. Thank you!

[@yvonnemunro7119]

Hello from Australia. I stumbled across your channel and subscribed. I enjoyed the way you presented the information about monetisation. I will look at all of your previous videos about art as I’ve always wanted to learn to paint however I’ve never had the confidence.

Welcome!! The whole point is to enjoy the journey and we all never stop learning or wanting to be better

[@sheilabartlett6044]

Hi Liz, I’m not into watercolour, but you caught my eye with this title. Congratulations on your mil subs. The reason I’m writing is, I was following a van dweller and he was making videos, but was saying how KZbin wanted him to do shorts, so what he did was just take a section of his big video and post it as a short. Just an idea for you.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Thank you for being so transparent! Honestly, you and your content are the true GOLD of KZbin. I don't know those millionaires, and I'm really not interested in them. I am interested in learning from down to earth, talented people, with a sense of humor, to boot - people like you! I think you definitely deserve a lot more. This year, I purchased your beautiful book, Painting Animals in Watercolour, and I think it's so great, filled with your practical advice and great "tips and tricks". Thanks! What would I like to see more of? Any animal paintings tutorials, maybe outdoor/wilderness sketching (vs. urban buildings), and any advice on organizing your materials and your time, etc. I don't need any more art supplies, but I appreciate how when you review a product, you usually do a demo painting. Thank you so much for creating this channel. Wishing you the best of luck in 2024! I'm sure you'll get to 100K subscribers soon! ❤🍀🌟🍀❤

Apparently you get sent a trophy from KZbin if you hit 100,000! Tgat would be fun. Thanks for all your support.

Hi Liz, I am a very amateur watercolour artist and I have learned a great deal from you and other you tube artists. All of the people I watch are kind and encouraging which is what I need to keep going with my desire to paint. I love your art and your videos. This was an interesting video as I had no idea how you tube worked for those who put out videos. I can tell it is a lot of work and I do appreciate the time and effort you put in to your videos, keep on doing this and I will keep watching.

[@angrybird-oc4rg]

Congratulations on your achievement, I have learnt a lot of stuff from you and other KZbin channels, so I’m grateful for you presence online! You are very generous teaching us and I think you tube should pay more to the content creators that are teaching something, because it is almost altruistic work, given all the time and effort it takes to do it.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Thank you so much! I do get a lot from it too, so payment is a bonus.

[@cindyculbertson5886]

You are the only one I have seen that has ever addressed this, so it was very interesting. I am glad you are making some extra income from art that you love. I would say for KZbin that I believe a person should be fairly compensated for the skills or information they share from the beginning, a fair portion of the revenue your content generates. I watch KZbin a lot and have many different ones I watch. I watch this way more than I do television, more interesting. I have not seen you pop up in my feed for a while, so it was nice to see you again😊

I have seen a few people doing this and I thought it would be interesting to do too. Thank you for subscribing

[@dawnesmith-sliming7004]

You’re earning more than I thought you would be so I’m happy to hear that. I’m not surprised that the niche one is in, or country, greatly impacts revenue. When you think about cost of good filming equipment and time spent editing… I’m just grateful that people with a passion are willing to share content. It’s easily a part time job on top of other family and work commitments.

I like your honesty about the financial aspects of having a youtube channel. KZbin is not a favorite of mine because of their policies, so I watch only a few select channels there. Including yours😄. And I think you deserve every penny that you get from them. I heard that on rumble you can earn more money per view, but the audience on that platform is smaller. So if you can and want, please keep giving us some nice tips👍🏻 even when it’s on youtube 🤣. Also, still love your gold leaf paintings behind you. Beautiful!

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Thank you - interesting. Which policies? Everything is about keeping advertisers happy. I will be sticking here ( I’ve never been on Rumble)

[@wimotten8353]

@@LizChadertonStudio thx for your reply Liz! I used to also watch some news channels on youtube and noticed that using a perfectly reasonable but ‘wrong’ word could get you blocked or suspended. Luckily that is probably unlikely to happen on a watercolor channel 😄. However, i once heard about a knitting channel (of all places🤣🤣) that was banned because they showed a knitting pattern that youtube found suspicious!😱. But I will keep watching watercolor channels here because most artist creators are on youtube.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Thank you so much!

[@osilva2367]

I love your break down. Very informative. Thank you!

[@LizChadertonStudio]

You are so welcome!

[@kmbiron06]

I just found your channel because I saw a ruling pen in my local art supply store and I had no idea what it was or what it was for. I typed in, “How to use a ruling pen” and your spider web video was the first video to pop up. I’m glad I found you! I will contribute to your subscription numbers of 2024!

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Glad I could help and welcome!

[@scaryfishlady]

Thanks for this. Very interesting. Yours was the very first watercolour tutorial video I ever watched and painted (a small, loose pot of lavender). I fell in love with watercolour because of you. So thank you!

[@LizChadertonStudio]

seriously?? That is so brilliant to hear. and THAT is why I do KZbin. I love watercolour and want everyone else to too.

[@motherof3pearls]

Thank you for your honesty, humility, and for sharing this. I think you will reach your new desire and goals now that you are being intentional about things. 🥰🙏

[@LizChadertonStudio]

thank you so much

[@baggs1111]

Hi Liz, this came up on my home screen out of the blue! I am guessing because i have viewed KZbin monetisation videos in the past. Brilliant video. Informative, clear and best of all interesting. Good luck and am guessing this will be your largest earner by quite some way 😊 btw am hopeless at art and have no interest in painting myself but I did purchase a painting by a winner of Watercolour Challenge 17 years ago 😂

[@LizChadertonStudio]

I’ve been trying to answer this, but KZbin won’t post! glad you enjoyed it!

[@shaunhall6834]

Just passing through as I'm not interested in watercolor but the algorithm brought me here. One thing I do like about KZbin is how creative people can share their interest with the world and those people interested can connect. I do prefer smaller channels though because you can inerect easier and I think people get more out of that connection if it's a smaller channel. Take care all.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Thanks for dropping by!!

[@elaineporter182]

I think that you have pulled back the curtain like Toto did in the Wizard of Oz. I just subscribed because I have a love tutorials on watercolor and drawing-especially when taught well. Thanks

[@LizChadertonStudio]

I love the Wizard of Oz! but mostly the witch ‘fly my pretties’

[@pamrussell7346]

What a fantastic insight into KZbin, thank you for sharing this. I saw this video because it came up in my recommended page. I will now watch more of your videos as I love watercolour but haven’t done very much. Pam, from Australia 😊

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Welcome! this channel is about watercolour, but this one (utterly unrelated) film seems to have gone crazy

[@RianShafer]

Thanks for the transparency on how YT works for you. I bet this one really zooms up the stats. People are curious. I understand how older vids can jump up in stats. I find someone new (like you) and I will binge watch ALL I can find by that Channel. On art & crafts sites, I will watch some over & over, like when I want to do that project. I do comment more often now & even watch some of the ads for my favorites because I know between those & the likes, it helps them out $$ wise. It also helps pull the old vids back to the forefront. Do I want to do it? Nope! I feel I'm good at what I do but don't feel a weekly video would suit me. I commend you & others for their dedication & sharing your talents.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

It’s not for everyone, for sure. And your support makes a big difference

[@meatdog]

I have seen other KZbin people divulge this info but was never interested in watching all the way through. You somehow made it more interesting and I frankly had no idea why anyone would do this because I thought there was no money in it unless people joined Patreon and I cannot afford that on my tiny social security check. So good on ya for making money and I will start to watch because I love to paint. Thanks

[@LizChadertonStudio]

I don’t do Patreon as it would just be another distraction from painting!

[@stardewpop]

I just found you, I don not paint, but your video's and your voice and demeanor are such a fresh breath of air on this channel , that is why I keep watching you.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Welcome! And thank you

[@BarnQuiltsbyMountainVisions]

I paint barn quilts and have a small youtube channel. I loved this video and just subscribed to your lovely channel.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

I’ve just had to Google what a barn quilt is! They look amazing!

[@BarnQuiltsbyMountainVisions]

@@LizChadertonStudio I love painting them.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

You’ve got to love what you do 😊@@BarnQuiltsbyMountainVisions

[@marymccaslin1690]

Oh Gad...so glad to see this. I will NEVER bother trying to do this! I love that you do this! I must say though that I have joined 2 urban sketcher groups and I love it. It's a way to do my art with just Fun in mind instead of hoping to sell anything. I would love to see more on this and perspective. I cannot for the love of all that is holy make perspective work for me. I see it on videos and can't translate it to my own art. I wish you earned more because you are Worth it!

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Great comment. You made me smile. I love urban sketching. I plan to do more this year. Will try to help on perspective.

[@christinerolf9348]

Thankyou for that Liz, it was very interesting,to be honest I didnt have a clue how it worked, it's not fortunes and you are worth more. I learn a lot from your videos and enjoy them immensely Thankyou

[@LizChadertonStudio]

I’m glad you enjoy them, and hopefully this will grow with time 😊@@christinerolf9348

[@Howaayman]

Brilliant video and you deserve every success. You are fantastic teacher and I love your videos. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, skills and joy.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

So nice of you

[@vickiryalls405]

I really enjoyed this video & learned a lot. Your pacing is perfect and you are not loud and full of yourself. A true gem. Thanks

[@LizChadertonStudio]

thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@lauriesullivan2890]

You seem to be a warm caring person so I subscribed

[@LizChadertonStudio]

thank you so much 😊

[@SofSof.]

I think that's a decent amount of money :o As you say, it takes a lot of time to plan, make and edit the videos, but for a few extra hundred a month it might be worth it (especially if you get appreciation from the viewers for what you make) :)

[@LizChadertonStudio]

I really like the community here. The money keeps me in art supplies!

[@og_rexsteve]

The most sincere and honest of such videos on this space. I am subscribing.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

thank you and welcome

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Liz, thank you for sharing your thoughts about youtube channel. It is not much you're making, but I'm glad you're making some. I feel youtube is one of those tests of character, a real test of resilience, hard work, putting on countless hours for a very small pay, but the satisfaction of connecting with an audience and sharing our work is what makes it worthwhile

[@LizChadertonStudio]

You have put that so well. I am getting enough to make it worth the time, but not enough to make it a rational business decision! I like it for the community and satisfaction

[@sunshine9016]

I always wondered about this subject of making money from you tube videos and I really appreciate your taking the time to explain it. Thank you!

[@LizChadertonStudio]

You are so welcome!

[@patriciablue2739]

I would be weighing the time against the benefit. Money is not the only benefit but may be the obvious one. I have heard editing is tedious and time consuming. I love to see artists create and I’m glad you have a channel. Thank you for posting.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Yes, you are right. If I weren’t being paid at all I would do fewer films, but I’d still do some. I don’t think I’d do more, if I was paid more, as I’m too busy!

[@deniserobinson9418]

Love this shed talk Thank you❤, subscribed, liked and now off to search out the Easter eggs, tissue and urban sketching ones FOMO 🤣

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Awesome! Thank you! 😂😂😂

[@IntelligentElephant]

Me too

[@Echoingsweetly]

🌹Thank you for your honesty 🌹 Excellent Video🌹

[@LizChadertonStudio]

my pleasure

[@pamilagrimes1588]

Thanks for sharing, very interesting.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

glad you thought so

[@aldmarius1060]

Thanks for the fantastic in formation breakdown! I was actually really curious of how KZbin honestly worked for content creators.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

There's so much info in all the analytics, that it can be overwhelming, so I hope I cut to the chase!!

[@fayer6267]

Interesting, thanks! Wishing you more subscribers and views

[@LizChadertonStudio]

thank you so much

[@LindaSmithLatimer]

Outstanding and informative video Liz. I even learned more than I knew having been doing tutorials about as long as you have. The mistake I made is not continuously creating videos because life got in the way. I am trying again to get videos up and going again and getting monetized again, 🤪. Don’t stop creating videos Liz. You are fantastic and so is your art.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

The only way I could do it was the discipline of once a week, otherwise life squeezed it out. I love your films too so I hope you get back into it xx
