How Much I Made from 860K Views on YouTube

[@fionaludbrook8193]

That was me that shared you on Rolling Solo. I do try and get word out about Aussie Women creating van life and camping videos. So important to support them, given all the American content we get, some being terrific, but laws around vehicle modifications just so different here. We have a lot more standards to comply with in our builds and vehicle modifications. I think I found you from searches right back when you started. Your quality and confidence in your videos has really blossomed over those years! Glad you are getting some income from all your hard work making your videos for us. Very proud of you Brenna and so glad you are now earning income from your work on KZbin.

[@fionaludbrook8193]

I also helped Kate Grarock, with her hiking channel and Coralie of Jump With No Fear get to the magic 1,000 subscribers. Indeed it was getting Kate across the line, pretty quickly after a campaign with one other friend, when we were stuck at home under Victoria's lockdown during COVID, that showed me how easy it is to promote new Australian KZbinrs, so they could begin earning revenue. Those who put in such work, deserve to get rewarded I reckon. It also gives you the option of investing money made back into the channel with camera and sound upgrades, that may otherwise have been too expensive too!

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

Thank you so much, you really helped the channel be seen.

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

Yes, I was able to purchase a Macbook to edit on, up to that point I had been using my phone.

[@mysticalsouls]

So happy for you! Do you have your new van yet ?

[@elaineabruton4685]

That awesome I live in my van

[@thomascatherwood8494]

What an open honest and lovely lady.

[@scodzpropertymanagementllc4638]

I predict this video will be your biggest money maker to date. :) Great job.

[@starrperry6395]

This was great information, thank you 😊 Such a pleasant personality and voice.

[@colleenandjackmundstock4278]

That was a great explanation of how to make money on you tube! I always wondered how it worked. Thanks for the info.

[@della7]

Me too!! Thanks, Brenna! :)

[@pamelaanderson1833]

Yes! Me too, I had no idea. Quite happy keeping my van life private but good on Brenna and Abby for going down this path xx

[@royproductionsmusicdance4601]

Is this income taxed?

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

@royproductionsmusicdance4601 yes, you need to declare it.

[@francespotter7697]

I admire you for many reasons Brenna but one of them is that you talk so openly about matters like this which people normally avoid or disguise. It's a real service to us all - showing that we can be real and honest about taboo subjects & the world doesn't end!

[@thekanadiangirl]

I agree! What a pleasant lady!

[@Barbie.Boo1961]

You’re absolutely right ❤

[@angelagoos2206]

I really had no idea about how much KZbin pays, so thanks for sharing.

[@BrendaRWyatt]

I’m viewing 8 days after post date. Already viewed 209,228 times. CONGRATULATIONS!

[@Old.man.in.a.caravan]

Very interesting. Thank you for explaining so well

[@JF-tu9gw]

Hello Brenna, I’m from BC Canada and your video showed up randomly. Awesome video, especially when you shared what YT pays you. Good for you! I subscribed because you seem like a nice person and Honest. Went back to your first video and will binge watch to catch up! Thank you …

[@joeblow1934]

Wow! Way to go! Thanks for sharing and GOOD LUCK in the future.

[@Grimey_Lad]

That was very encouraging information, Brenna. And from all us that have just started our KZbin journey, a big THANK YOU for sharing. Onwards & upwards, folk! ❤

[@TrevorSampson1955]

Thank you for showing the figures, very helpful to understand the numbers, cheers from Perth, WA

[@johnnyproctor]

Thank you for sharing this! I had no idea how this worked. Good luck!

[@bmartin3973]

Lo and behold we have a new winner! Congrats and cha-ching! 👍

[@_onesimpleidea]

Nice to see some real data vs. the typical hype on other channels. Thanks and best of luck continuing with it.

[@TheIntellect8]

Bravo, I'm very happy for you. I never watched any of your other videos but I love your candor. Something makes me thing your videos will blow up even more this year.

[@timm.909]

Thank You! I've wondered how it all works and this explains it!

[@laurajphillips]

Thanks for the info, if I could do that I’d be in great shape, congrats, it’s not only the content it’s your personality, you are so sweet and a pleasure to watch!

[@lynnegordon5286]

Very interesting info Brenn. Makes the hard work worthwhile too. Everyone is looking for tips n hacks as we research motor home or rv living. These will ALWAYS be popular as we aim to learn as much as we can before our purchases. Many thanks.

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

So true!

[@wordwealth7014]

Thank you. So many people want this info. You made it simple and fast.

[@tanyaking6746]

Congratulations Brenna. That's awesome ❤

[@Tessienz]

The fact of you being a woman camper in Australia strongly attracted me to subscribe, watch and pay attention to your videos. Have watched many in other countries, but nothing like homegrown. You give great practical info and advice and you don’t sugarcoat. Plus many of your videos are beautiful to watch and listen to. And of course - there is Abbie. 😊

[@lindaarchinal9008]

This vid popped up on my feed! Good job and what an interesting life you have!

[@LifeinLancashire]

This video popped into my feed today 👍 . Thanks for sharing your YT revenue with us, and I wish you continued success. I don't have a campervan, but I do enjoy watching vanlife channels, and am now subscribed to your channel as I've not come across any other campervan channels located in your neck of the woods. Looking forward to catching up with your previous videos 🙂

[@LynneSmith-x6v]

Honest vlog. Well done for making it work.

[@christopherallen9580]

Congrats on your KZbin success!

[@junekroner6382]

Thank you! I have been considering making Sewing videos. I have wondered how money is made on KZbin. Your presentation came across very well.

[@della7]

Greetings from New England, NSW! I first discovered you when, after a year of watching USA vanlife videos but not seeingany HiAce van conversions (which is probably what I'll get, one day), so searched "HiAce vanlife Australia" and your "Solo female van life Australia Q&A" popped up. Soooo great to follow an Aussie solo female. Thanks for your honesty. Your "no hype" videos are refreshing. Congratulations!!

[@BlancheTaljaard]

This video showed randomly so I watched it, just out of interest, I never realised that a person could make a decent amount out of this. Thanks for sharing watching from South Africa.

[@Amy-ej2px]

You got me at the intro. I don't even know what the channel's about, but you have such a lovely accent that I must watch. LOL.

[@jameshallahan4376]

Me too

[@vilmaestrada945]

Thanks you are the first KZbinr that I have come across that broke it down. I knew it had to do with views and not how many subscribers you have. Wish you all the best

[@HoneyandMe]

It's always interesting to see how other YTers are doing. I just got notified I have 800,000 views. While my channel is centred on car camping and RVing "tips, tricks and trips", my most popular video is something anyone can use. It was done in my RV but has drawn a wider audience. It is where I cover an ugly RV sofa very easily and cheaply. It continues to be the most watched and highest earning so far! It's cool to see. Good luck with your channel and growing it in 2025!

[@catherinewood7254]

That was really interesting info on how you tube works. Thanks, Brenna, and congratulations on your success so far. 🎉😊

[@georgiameier4990]

Good for you ! I love your brave decision to try this type of employment. Very Best of continuing success.

[@cableman1234able]

Thank you for that...had no idea how it pays...you got a new subscriber out of me.

[@zorinaseward3422]

Thank. You for your honesty 💟

[@LoriGill-bf9ex]

I just found your channel on my recommended videos to watch. You're such a delight. You got a new subscriber and viewer. Already watched several, loved them ❤

[@Hana_goes_East]

same

[@TheNostalgicNetwork]

As a newer Tuber myself, it takes time to learn how things work. I know that it is more about the amount of TIME people WATCH and not so much the views that gets you paid. I had a video with 7K views but almost 900 hours of view time and got paid more than videos with higher views but short view time. Making videos that viewers will watch the whole thing are the best but hardest to create. I wish you the best Brenna. I live in Thailand myself! Subscribed and will watch your content! Love the adventurous type!

[@TheHarryleemartin]

Thank you so much for explaining how it works. *Very* informative. :-)

[@ayysweetstea9339]

Good for you lady Keep going 🎉

[@moreGraceNpeace]

Thank you lovely lady... for sharing your experience. You have inspired me!!!!❤

[@hourglasssand]

Nice work! Congratulations on your success.

[@AndyH-13]

Thanks, this is one of the most honest and easy to follow videos I’ve seen on a persons earnings from You Tube.

[@kayscheuer9159]

❤😊

[@cathyjay2569]

She’s amazing ❤

[@denisemurphy3915]

Thank you for your honesty and transparency. Not only does it demistify this side of YT, but it is empowering to those who are considering using it. Hope the Super people's holidays are over, and you'll soon be rigging out your replacement van.

[@ashleyadams6803]

First time watching, I’ve subscribed!

[@fishmut]

Well done Brenna , its very nice to see how the you tube system works on getting paid from videos , lots of videos helps when you get a boomer of a video that does really well so wishing you all the best on your KZbin journey doing videos.👍

[@elizabethc9832]

I've always wondered how all that worked. Thank you!

[@gregb3457]

Ha. Just found this. Thanks for the openness and honesty. I think you are on a roll. I'll have to check out your adventures.

[@gwynn8388]

I hope this video gets a tremendous amount of views and knocks those earnings out of the park! You go girl! 🎉

[@bevfitzsimmonds3382]

Thankyou, Brenna... l had no idea how it all works! Love and hugs from a fellow Aussie! God bless, 😊❤🫂

[@zebbity]

First time I'm seeing you, single aussie van owning female and brand new sub here, always good to see more home grown content 😊

[@DougCanney1]

Thank you for this info, I've been working on my youtube for a few years and I'm up to 836, still a ways away from monetization. I'm in a crowded field, as are you. I'm truly hoping this is my year. I subbed, I'll keep up with your progress, travel safe.

[@beverleydryland1146]

Hi Brenna I wanted to say how gorgeous and colourful your art is x love from Bunbury western Australia

[@susanplante]

Lovely of you to explain it all. Thank you.

[@Fiona_Chasing_Light]

Thanks for sharing this Brenna - it's really interesting to know how it works. Here's hoping for some good revenue in 2025.

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

I would do it anyway but some extra money definitely helps.

[@theusefuljournal]

@@BrennaLivingJoyfullyI think that’s when a channel is truly engaging- because you like sharing stories with us (rather than just doing it to make money).

[@BlackshacksBushcraft]

Very helpful. Thank you. I'll share this channel with a friend who has just started her van life journey after recently losing her husband.

[@Chucky-b7v]

Thanks for the head up, Brenna. I’m just starting a KZbin channel for myself, so far just a couple of friends and family have watched my shorts , so hopefully it might grow, lol.

[@reneeparker7475]

Thanks for the info and may your views increase.

[@juliahelland6488]

Thanks for sharing this! 💯

[@donitafichter8298]

This is soooo interesting! All the best for your future endeavours!

[@kimcharters1957]

Well done Brenna . Thank you for sharing your precious time and knowledge which is priceless. xx

[@riahall223]

You deserve every $ of that Brenna, keep up the good work. I think it was 2022 when I first subscribed.👏👏

[@BrennaLivingJoyfully]

You're the best!

[@kathleencomyn5228]

I have been watching you since your beginning almost and I always enjoy your videos because you are such a lovely person and always just you. This was interesting as I had been wondering. Thanks for sharing

[@e.danielkingsley3694]

Extraordinary content. I appreciate your careful commentary & no-frills presentation. Thank you.

[@grazsmith5916]

Heya Brenna, great vid!! Thankyou so much for explaining it all, being honest and of course for your brilliance. Luv ya work.❤

[@donalfinn4205]

Thanks for sharing this. I very often wondered about the monetary side of making videos. I won’t be doing it though! This is the first video I’ve seen explaining this.👏🇮🇪

[@jenniferwong4530]

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 Thank you, KZbin algorithm for putting this video is my feed today! You have a very interesting channel, just liked and subscribed😊

[@wilkinsonsworld]

From a fellow camper (if you can call yourself one), well done on what you have achieved. You are an amazing example.

[@pattrudeau2335]

Awesome. Thank you. You are the first one who just explain plain and sample how this whole KZbin money work. ❤❤ thank you again. Not really big on van life but added you up and will make sure to watch your video

[@mariozammit7065]

Thank you dear one! It’s my first time seeing you but i plan to check out your content which i have no doubt from this video that it will be lovely!❤

[@T.J-and-Soul]

I'm enjoying your budget videos. Good job Sister.

[@TheWanderingWulfs]

This is really interesting. Thanks for sharing what you made. Very cool. ❤ We were just accepted into the KZbin Partner Program, but we can't earn on Ads since we're not to 1K yet. We'll keep plugging away! 😊

[@zac1375]

I was curious, so I listened! Good luck! 😸

[@wagonwitch]

I share you on Rolling Solo with your great content. I think maybe a few people have shared your Chanel since then. Congratulations

[@sigmasoft99]

Thank you for this video. I learned from it! Congrats on your success.

[@zormier2002]

You need a video on how to organize van life. Need a video on where you travel in your van life. Ect. If those are your best paying videos then you need to make more of them. ❤

[@cherylpinger2383]

Thank you for explaining this and the breakdown. Very interesting. 🙂

[@Yorkiemom-j1r]

I found this a great breakdown and a motivation for those considering being a Vlogger!

[@2501me]

Oh wow, that’s a lot of information. Thanks so much for sharing this. This is all stuff I wondered about - and people alude to in comments- but never got around to looking into. It’s interesting that there are different categories & different pay scales too. Big fascinating world there at the YT head office! Congratulations on your success!

[@UROCK-k8x]

Hello Brenna, hopefully I'll be able to learn!!❤yes love our Nomad people's

[@kbp5083]

It’s not often you come across Australian van life of females in our age bracket. You have definitely inspired me, I hope to do van life in the near future. Wow you have 104k views already on this video 🎉

[@Sandra-bq9yw]

Thank you Brenna for your honest, down to earth videos, someone mentioned you on a solo womens camping site in 2022 and I have been following you since then, looking forward to seeing the new van, cheers 😀
