How Much I've Earned on YouTube after 20 Videos - YouTube Studio Update

[@Ty_Myers]

Have you earned any $$ yet from KZbin, whether that's AdSense or Affiliate Links or maybe even Sponsorships or digital product sales. I"m curious how ya'll are planning out your monetization strategy!

[@JonWaugh]

I've earned most of Amazon money from sharing links with people directly. My highest commission thus far was $20 off of a bulk order of $400 in things I personally recommended to someone.

[@Cynthia_Wood]

Great video 🙌🏻 you are doing great 👍🏻 I think your videos are high quality and I for see you going very far on this platform 🎉 I am still in the baby step stage in my video and KZbin journey! I have made 0 $ so far but that’s to be expected as my videos are not of high quality yet!! Thank you 😊

[@Ty_Myers]

@@JonWaugh nice Jon. Thanks for sharing and for checking this video out.

[@Ty_Myers]

@@Cynthia_Wood aww thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement. I truly appreciate it and you got this!

Climbing the mountain with you, lol, just started my channel 6 days ago, took awhile to figure my niche that I am comfortable with and the learning curve of actually posting with the correct set up, congrats and be blessed sir, salute

[@Ty_Myers]

Your spreadsheets are dope

[@Ty_Myers]

Thanks Woody :D

[@Runningoutofroad]

Awesome stuff - Nice one Ty - I can see l'm going to have to start looking at how to make this game pay 🤔

[@Ty_Myers]

For sure! You could link out to parts for the bikes (potentially)?

[@JonWaugh]

6:10 I just paused the vid for 20mins lol. Can't believe I never thought to look for that setting. THANKS. I ended up noticing an issue with a few of my vid descriptions too.

[@Ty_Myers]

Nice! Yeah it's these little things that go a long way.

[@fathogwoodworking]

Great video Ty. I didn’t know about those auto uploading descriptions. That’s going to save me some time moving forwards. Cheers.

[@Ty_Myers]

sure thing! yeah there's all these little settings I'm learning about, this one makes life a little easier :D

[@princechughtai]

I have also just started out again on KZbin, and I'm currently learning so much valuable information from KZbinr like you, so keep up the great work. I wish u the best !

[@Ty_Myers]

Aww thanks so much, I really appreciate the kind words and best of luck to you as well 🙏

[@wilmerwoodworks]

Defaults! I had no idea. No more copying and pasting for me! 👍

[@Ty_Myers]

hahaha, hopefully that saves you a little bit of time Steve :D

[@Pheelip]

I made $3.63 in affiliate links. Then decided to remove it since my impressions drop since putting it in my descriptions. Now impressions are back to normal.

[@Ty_Myers]

Hmm, I'm not sure having affiliate links would have any impact on impressions. Do you think it could be a fluke situation or have you tested it a few other times?

[@JonWaugh]

8:01 Another gem! Just implemented the subscribe hack!

[@Ty_Myers]

Yay, glad you're finding these useful 🙏

[@VividAbominations]

I paid for google ads on 1 of my videos and it exploded. I went from 200 subs to over 3,000 in 2 weeks. 3 videos combined took me to 475 watch hours and they are all under 4 minutes long. I don't see a lot of people talking about ads to help drive the traffic. Sure it was an experiment that cost me about $200 in total, but I'm almost an 8th of the way to the watch hours. I'm going to cut my ad budget in half and see what happens. Now that I have 3,000 subs from short videos, maybe I can make a 15 min video and get a lot of them to watch it. That's my test.

[@Ty_Myers]

Interest, and good input thanks for sharing. I heard a similar story from another smaller creator who paid to advertise a video and it got a lot of traction. I hadn't considered it.

[@intuitionjournal]

I'm curious to know if there is a subscriber threshold that Amazon has to see before they let you become an affiliate.

[@Ty_Myers]

Hey there, I don't believe so. I signed up and got approved well before I hit 100 Subs.

[@intuitionjournal]

Thanks! I was waiting to grow a bigger channel but I'll try now

[@Ty_Myers]

@@intuitionjournal absolutely!

[@LoFiPetCafe]

How does the Amazon affiliate work - can you do a video explaining it please?

[@Ty_Myers]

Potentially down the road I may, but don't wait for it. If you live in the US, it's actually really easy to sign up. It's FREE and mostly no-hastle affiliate-program.amazon.com/signup

[@HealthandWealth-2024]

Amazon affiliate links aren't available to Canadian KZbinrs i've found.

[@Ty_Myers]

well that's a bummer :/ does this not work - associates.amazon.ca/signup

[@HealthandWealth-2024]

@@Ty_Myers It worked!! Thanks!! I watched a video on how to set it up once in there. But i'm all set up thanks to your link above. (hint hint new content idea) how to set up the store.

[@Runningoutofroad]

So just the one potentially stupid question then - How exactly does one set up an 'Affiliate Link' ? 🧐

[@Ty_Myers]

Hey Mark, just google Amazon Associates Register - affiliate-program.amazon.com/signup Your URL will be different - affiliate-program.amazon.com.au I found it pretty easy to sign up in the US

[@marko1314]

Thanks mate 👍 Hey that might be an idea for one of your videos! 😃

[@AsmrSolomon]

Hi, how are you?? I have only 347 subscribers and you don't get any views at all, What can I do? any good ideas?

[@Ty_Myers]

Hi there, I'm good thanks for asking. Nice work with your channel, you seem to be growing quite fast and getting a lot of views 👏. Lots to be proud of! Keep up the great work.

[@AtSafeDistance]

I don't know how long the thing is, but it is way longer than I could even stand to watch to find out what i wanted to know, which is what the title promised. no thanks!

[@Ty_Myers]

Oh hey, thanks for the feedback 🙏. The video itself is 9 minutes and 11 seconds long. I discussed how much I earned at 3:52 so just a few minutes in. Just FYI in case you didn't know, you can always check the video description and look at the chapters to fast forward to the section you like. But I've taken note of your input. Thanks so much! And best of luck finding Big Foot 🙂

[@BlackAndBlueGarage]

I made 63¢ 😁

[@Ty_Myers]

nice! small wins ya 💪

[@allenreid62]

WAIT...people can earn money on KZbin? lol Seems like something so far, far away.

[@Ty_Myers]

I think you're closer than you think :D

[@jerryGolddd]

I’m still wondering how you vidIq boost situation is going!! I still haven’t taken the plunge. 😂 I leaned something new about the affiliate Amazon thing!!! That’s cool! Great job bro.

[@Ty_Myers]

Jerry it's worth the free trial if you haven't yet done it. I got some value out of their vidIQ Academy which has a lot of good KZbin growth and training material. I do like the Keyword Research tool and think there's a lot of value there but I'm not really chasing keywords right now as I'm still just trying to find my own unique voice vs jumping on trends. The AI Coach is neat but it still feels somewhat limited and generic. I think with better versions of ChatGPT coming, it might get smarter. I do like that it can break down some of the things working well for the channel though. The FREE version is a good safe bet for most people, but trying Boost on a trial basis is good just to tinker around to see if you like the Boost Features. Apparently there is a Discord group for Boost members but I haven't gotten into that yet (so busy)
