How Much Does Youtube Really Pay - The Truth

A subject which has been discussed by many creators. I have heard all kinds of crazy stories. I share what a channel with just under 30k subscribers earns. I also give some insight into the costs and a few tips for those just starting out. I am not an expert by any means but maybe this video can help someone who is just considering content creation and wants so honesty..

[@robertscheinost179]

One of the main reasons I watch this channel is because of the principles this creator stands for. The stories are great, too. Cheers!

Glad you enjoy it!

This is the reason I love your stuff mate. It’s honest. Who else would tell us what they earn from KZbin or any job? No bull, honesty. Rare stuff. Here’s the thing, I trust you. I trust your stories are true, your advice in the security world I know is true from my own experience. Therefore I trust all that you put out. This is a great responsibility. It means I will trust your reviews of any product. Which makes for loyal long term followers. Keep it up mate. I’m promoting you as much as I can by sharing your stuff on Facebook and to friends etc. You remind me of Geoff Thompson with your experience, intelligence, honesty and you are clearly well read. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@brokens1097]

Great to hear intelligent insight. If the goal is strictly view count, bad grammar and idiotic behavior is what the masses relate to.

[@doglubber70]

Appreciate the straight up exposition on your monetization experience. Your authenticity keeps me clicking. Cheers mate from California.

I'm British but have been living overseas for the past decade. This is my little slice of home, and the kind of no nonsense, straight talking that I like. Keep up the good work buddy, this is some real content that normal people can relate to.

[@roydonovan9063]

I like this fella, honest, same age ish and british, not that that really matters. Gunna subscribe. Why not? Nice to see someone bullshit free.

I'm loving this channel, not only very interesting stories but you share alot of wisdom and knowledge the type only be gained from experience. You also come across as a sound guy in general.

[@mattcadams]

We're the same age and I worked in bars and nightclubs in the 90s and early 2000s (midlands east coast seaside town), but behind the bar. Good times... mostly, and your stories remind me of the weird goings on in those places and the nightly bants with the door staff. Top guys by and large and they took good care of the rest of us when things went south. Think it's very different these days. Enjoying the content and recommended it to friends and family. Hope it works out well for you.

[@doglubber70]

Have you done video of security at different venues today? Maybe assess and analyze security at wild places, strange locations, unique events? Interview door guys or whoever’s interesting.

[@TheMercianMetalDetecting]

KZbin will place adverts in all videos regardless of monetisation. This really handicaps small channels under that monetisation threshold. It's a hard platform to crack so just enjoy being creative.

[@patrickwalsh6240]

Great video, very interesting. Thank you for all your efforts.

[@petewatson9866]

I enjoy everything he uploads, he does this for the ❤️ of it.

[@kremamorasses6194]

Keep up the good content

[@TheMercianMetalDetecting]

Money is my last consideration on KZbin. I enjoy making my videos out metal detecting in the field and showing historical finds. I have a laugh, make good friends and make it fun to view. We are all in this for our own reasons and I wish everyone all the best in their endeavours.

[@thatgearguy]

Oh nice! I always admire metal detecting. It appeals to the treasure hunter in me!

[@leedsunited007]

I. Just subscribed. Cheers mate

[@thatgearguy]

Thank you!

[@joepenny3776]

Thanks i always wondered

Gimme the Lycra! Playing. Lol😂

You’ve kind of got your own style, so have you thought about doing any merch? Plenty of places out there can handle it for you for a small fee. On a nothing upfront but take a piece of everything sold kind of deal. But I believe that a lot of the smaller channel guys can make quite lucrative money at this and it doesn’t cost anything upfront to do it. You are a living breathing advert for baseball caps, so they would still like hotcakes with your brand on it, As a suggestion.

[@noelht1]

Actually mate, I’m probably trying to teach my granny to suck eggs. You are nobody’s mug you’ve probably thought of all this And investigated it

[@thatgearguy]

Not a bad idea on the caps! I just have doubts anyone wants a TGG variant ;)

[@noelht1]

@@thatgearguy they will as you get more subs. For sure. You wear your brand, and so will others. And I’d have one. There’s a trick to on demand merchandise though, and the secret is to choose your supplier well. Because you want quality even if they have to pay a little bit more. Returns don’t do anybody any favour especially yourself because of quality issues.

[@doglubber70]

If you design hat well, it fits and wears nice, then I’d consider buying TGG.

[@beerdrinker6452]

Nice.

With all due respect, rebarding the start of your vid, there are many ways to skin the youtube cat, and you make it sound a bit daunting. Ive followed many small sub 1k sub channels who have gone to around your current size or even bigger. Some never appear or film at all, and its all editing, no camera at all, some do everything on there phone including edit ( one comedy skit channel comes to mind who became huge), some just use laptop camera. Not that your advice is bad, its perfect for your style of production. But for people who want to start out, you really dont need any equipment, even just a phone is fine for film and edit.. The main thing is just to start creating and uploading. You dont need to wait. Learn as you go. I will say, audio is important, but decent audio recorders cost very little these days. And even bluetooth mics work great with modern phones and cameras and laptops as well, no synching required. Ps they say lights camera action for a reason. A cheap camera can outperform a great one in better lighting, and better lighting can be just an extra household lamp or two on 'set'.

[@thatgearguy]

@@vlnow kind of true but the market place is incredibly competitive. Having quality video matters. 5 years ago, maybe a lot less so but now, everyone is at it. I am not looking to discourage nor am I looking to give unrealistic advice.

[@vlnow]

@@thatgearguy nah, its good advice. I was just thinking for new guys, the number 1 thing is just to start uploading. Rather than wait until the perfect time or equipment. Its a bit like fitness. Waiting until you can afford a decent bike before starting cardio or cycling when you can cycle on a 30 quid secomn hand bike, or even just go for a walk. Like THE most important thing is just to start. The ball will start rolling from there.
