How Much YouTube Paid Me for My Tiny House Video

Actually, we, the great unfilmed, enjoy these glimpses behind the potential earnings of KZbin. A lot of people have turned this unlikely method of employment into very successful businesses. Whether KZbin replaces someone's full-time job or perhaps acts as a retirement gap filler. It is good information for someone trying to determine if KZbin is a platform with potential for success. I have found some channels owned by people who may never have been successful in a "normal" job but have totally rocked it on KZbin.

[@hoilst265]

Nah, I saw how much money you're making for nothing, you don't need my help.

Nothing wrong with car videos no matter what the value of the car is. Sometimes its the only way to get a look at say a Duesenberg built in the 1930's from the Nethercutt Auto Museum or Jay Leno's Garage in the USA.

You being honest about how you make money on KZbin is very helpful for newcomer content creators. It helps them to keep in mind what can happen and how to navigate business content choices.

[@Patchy]

that's my intention! I've learned a lot from videos like this by other people, so hopefully I can pass the torch a bit here as well.

[@EgoShredder]

@@Patchy I bet KZbin will be on peoples backs to get straight with their country's income tax laws, once large sums of money start being generated on KZbin videos. Your tiny home video could easily push you over the income threshold. I wonder if YT is classed as business income or personal?

Iam planning to create a channel and iam dumbfounded by his success, iam no video editor though so iam struggling on that bit 😔

[@EgoShredder]

@@krisgair5863 I've not much experience either, but if I were to do something similar I would draw up a quick storyboard, break it down into scenes, choose a camera angle for each one and then edit each clip to discard bits that do not work, and then narrate over the top where necessary etc. Not sure what George thinks but might be similar to what he does.

how is the estimated revenue calculated? is it the ads or just youtube paying him because he brought audience?

[@hamzaansari4172]

@@HassaanALal Monetization. There's CPR and CTR, (CPR = 1000 views gives you 1$) and CTR is different, it depends on how many people actually clicked on those Ads. Also, these rates are not same for everyone. They are decided based on where the Traffic is coming from, You get a higher CPR if your audience is from US, Canada, Europe etc. While it'll be the lowest if it is from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. If you are thinking of making serious money from Ads then it is important to cater your content to the western world. (needless to say these rates are separate from the Sponsorship deals).

Everything about your channel screams level-headed and kind. What's not to like! Here's to another 11 million views and 166 K more subscribers :)

Another KZbinr made a similar explanation video last year, and he was a Welsh studio musician doing videos on that subject. If I recall he was getting £1.50 per 1000 views or something. A lot of it was dependant on which advertising was clicked on by viewers, so maybe house related ads generate more money than music ones?

[@matoatlantis]

The other day I was setting up computer and ran browser without any extra addons. I was shocked how unusable it is. Adverts popping out from everywhere. Newspaper site covered with flashy moving objects making in impossible to focus on a text (forget reading with comprehension). Watching YT videos is pain - constant interruption of an advert. Luckily there are adblockers and other ways to block these. People forget (or actually don't know) that on social media(s) we are the product. You're correct - that's why there are so many influencers wannabies out there. But of course there are also many great people with sick talent out there too.

[@nitrojane]

@@matoatlantis it's a difficult balance - on the one hand I bloody hate ads, but on the other hand, the youtubers I support only receive revenue from a video based on watched/clicked on advertisements - I feel as though if I want to support a KZbinr I will watch the ads. I am also on my mobile a lot of the time and while my browser has an adblocker, the KZbin app does not (for obvious reasons). It's tough. I understand wha you're saying about wannabes, there are a lot of people doing and saying outrageous things online just for clicks/clout. I'm just glad at least some normal seeming people are getting a piece of the financial pie.

A KZbinr once told me that as a very rough rule of thumb, if you take the number of views, divide by 1000 and multiply that by 5 you get an approximation of what a video will make. It’s not too far out when you do it for this one.

[@DigitalDiabloUK]

Worth remembering that for every viral video where folks get 'lucky' there will be thousands of those which don't. Even here where the video was live making a few dollars a month, it wasn't until it went viral that earning a "living" could be taken. Then you have to sustain that success.

I don’t know much about tiny houses..although I live in a pretty small home. I’m old..been around a long time...almost 75 yrs caring for others..on my own. You should be quite proud of yourself. I don’t work any more and money is running out...except for a small pension (when you’re a single parent you can’t save a lot of money) and a social security check. Worked for many years..until heartache, loss and stress took a toll on my health issues. Well done. I wouldn’t know anything about starting a KZbin channel...my life has kinda been like trying to climb Mount Everest. Haven’t reached the top...might not...but it’s been a long, uphill journey. And I’m exhausted, I’m sore, but I’m still hanging on...because I have 2 inside sickly cats. And I’ve been feeding 13 feral cats (all tnrd) and other outside critters fir almost 10 years. Live alone. But never feel lonely. If I wasn’t caring for someone (either human or non human), I don’t think I’d be here right now. Just a gut feeling. Congrats on your success. I don’t think you’re bragging.

For one it really details the difference between the income a viral video (which is unpredictable and shouldn't be counted on) can bring, and the income a normal video for a relatively popular KZbin video can bring. It lets people know roughly how much to expect if you intend to become a professional KZbinr and as such how often you will need to produce content worthy of watching if you intend to make a livable income.

As a person in my fifties I find this completely mind blowing that you are able to make such a huge amount of money this way.

It explains why so many people are giving up their day jobs so to speak and concentrating on producing content for KZbin.

[@darkstatehk]

It's a great insight and motivator and of course this profession is a very competitive business and also dependant on the algorithm and channel support / random drive by visitors etc. The youtube video is one thing as it involves an insane amount of work to look professional, and then there is the actual preparation of the content and associated costs plus the actual labour. Therefore, assuming its run as a business, or at least followed business practices, an overview of what we would call management accounts would give a real sense of the actual revenues involved. To be honest, the £46k sounds amazing, but in reality after deducting taxes, expenses and cost of production etc the earnings are relative. Still, it would feel so great to get such a deposit into ones bank account for all ones hard work so I really agree with you it is mind blowing, especially if you can churn out content like this with the associated views for at least five times in the year :)

Love this video. It's very encouraging how you're transparent in how much you're making. It also helps people see they can be successful even with the ups and downs of posting a good video.

[@DonoVideoProductions]

I fond this to be interesting, and honest. It's about time somebody told the truth about how much a video actually makes. It's real-world information that is hard to come by. Kudos!

[@cindybogart6062]

You have done such a wonderful job on your home. It’s just lovely. It’s so homey & comfortable. Your videos are entertaining & informative. I never understood the money & how it’s made. Wow. That’s some money. I’m glad you made some money on your videos.

[@erntefreude]

I have enjoyed every video you made and really like when houses are appreciated and cared for, becoming homes. Thank you for sharing your home's transformation and hope you buy that other house, that's wanting some TLC. I wish you every success.

[@Patchy]

thank you!! and it's definitely my intention to keep buying and renovating tired/old properties.

[@Lorraine--on3ij]

I am so thrilled you did so well with your videos! I like watching tiny homes because I like to see how they make us of the space. Thank you for sharing this information George. I hope you have continued success! 👏🏻🇨🇦

[@r2m40]

This was motivational and realistic for everyone that wants to record videos for YT.

[@SusannahPerri]

George, I love your videos and you really deserve all the success you have had on KZbin. Best wishes from here in California, to you, your parents and your precious little Junior! ❤

[@marcharsveld2914]

Being open and honest makes you deserve what you earned on YT. It's your path you're walking, enjoy it all the way.

[@sourcooki3]

really appreciate the financial transparency. helps people learn and removes the stigma of talking about money - especially for those with less access to it.

[@imSoNotDavid]

I for one appreciate these type of videos, plus it's a bonus it's coming from you who delivers it so well

[@gustavogomez7235]

George you look like an honest and humble lad. Well done on all you've done and well deserved it.

[@Robin_Goodfellow]

What I love most about this video is that I can mentally take the amount you've made from the videos and deduct them from the overall cost of the renovation. That's really cool. I feel like I've just saved money vicariously.

[@ajayaymusic]

I’m very happy for you. You seem a very decent person and deserve every penny. Well done and best wishes for the future.

[@andrewbrown6578]

All channels should do this, it is interesting to see how much they make, and it is not like people will stop viewing videos.

[@danielle4644]

Im subscribing solely based on your transparency and honesty.

[@Big_Blue_Monkey]

I found this really interesting. I've been discussing with friends about how viable YT is as a career move. I've seen a lot of the younger generation move into this area and I've always wondered how much money can be made doing this and is it a potential career path. I understand that you got lucky with the video going viral and off that one piece you effectively made a good year's wage. I can see with the right content it is possible to turn YT into a potential full-time job.

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

That was very enlightening. I had no idea how this all worked. Well done, I am thrilled this turned out well for you. 🥳💕

[@sbaumgartner9848]

I watch a variety of KZbin channels. People like you who did a great job deserve good money. It's a lot of work to produce a good product. It was very interesting to find out how KZbin income is determined. I had no idea that the type of ads and the topic of a channel made such a difference in money earned. No wonder so many people are starting their own channel. I find a surprising number of 'every day' people like you make the best channels! It's your presentation, communication skills that come from within you that makes a difference. You really do have a lot going for you George. Please stop thinking you're falling behind others your age. I think you're well ahead of most and you're just starting out!

[@janeschmidt9611]

Hi George! I love that you are open to giving us the details in this video. I found it very interesting and always wondered about this. Looking forward to watching your next videos. I live in California and would love to see what life is like where you live, shopping, dining, tours of your area, etc. 🥰

[@Patchy]

thanks jane! and I'll be sure to include more of that stuff in the next video. :)

[@jdee4956]

I'm delighted for you George. You are a thoughtful, sensitive - and frank - young man. I find the figures fascinating - most YTers are so coy. You deserve every penny - I agree you paid too much for the property and far too much in fees.

[@bwop3369]

Thank you for being open with the numbers side of things, it always feels like creators tend to hide this information for a number of reasons but it's interesting to see some actual statistics. Hope you get more success in the future man!

[@Patchy]

I appreciate that!

[@fussimisttaylor8718]

I admit I have seen your tiny house renovation video pop up on my screen but I never watched it. I discovered your channel after you adopted Junior - what a sweet kitty! I admired how thoughtful you were about her care and I like the calm sound of your voice. The accent doesn’t hurt either :-) as I am from Canada and, to me, your burr is lovely to hear. It intrigued me enough to check out more of your channel. As for the money discussion question, I knew that “KZbinrs”/“influencers” earned money from sponsors, but until I watched this I didn’t know you earned money for views too - very informative. Like anything in media, if someone is offended at content they always have the option of changing the channel. Yes, there will be people who think talking about money is crass, but I think you handled the topic very factually, with thankfulness for your audience’s time. I appreciated the information myself. Learn something new every day. I only subscribe to two channels, but I am going to add yours as my third. Thank you.

[@kerim.peardon5551]

I don't know about people in the UK, but people in America love to know how much money people make. LOL. It's nice that everyone who watches your videos about you buying and fixing up a house helps you afford to fix up your house.

[@PhilGoh23]

you've done well, mate, and earned every single penny of this windfall... keep your videos coming...

[@Patchy]

cheers phil!

[@daifaiv]

I really respect you for being open about yout finances and KZbin revenue

[@Patchy]

glad to hear it! thanks for watching. :)

[@relocatetoEUROPE]

Thanks George, I started to vlog on my life here in Italy on KZbin during lockdown and still going. Thanks for helping us content providers. More strength to you.

[@domino6755]

House renovation ended up gorgeously. Enjoyed every second of that video. Thank you for sharing this sensitive information. This clearly proves that it's not solely matter off "luck" but on talent(skills) as well. Everyone can make video, but not everyone can keep it interesting till the end. You clearly deserved what you earned. Looking forward for more interesting stuff from this channel in the future. Good luck!

[@raytheron]

Fantastic, George, well done! You deserve every penny. And it's great that you share this kind of information, as it will no doubt encourage other creators too.

[@JonathanSwiftUK]

It's interesting, and you deserve it, renovations always seem to cost more than expected. The videos were great, very inspiring.

[@Jezabel1806]

I stumbled upon your renovation video and have been now binge-watching your content. Your easy going story-telling with that fine Scottish humour won me as a subscriber. Your content is genuine for it comes from your heart and one can feel your intent is pure. There is that sense of sincerity and innocence that we as viewers may sense and appreciate, and I wish you to never lose it. I hope your channel will continue expanding!

[@ricknmorty7732]

You inspire me George ! Not irrationally but practically and I’m impressed with all you’ve accomplished. Also how you continue as well- showing key parts of your success and how you did it. You are a great example and teacher on here and in life 💫

[@cidadaoPPT]

This was great! And the fact that you're transparent about it just makes it so that you deserve it even more! Congratulations and keep going!

[@aayobruv]

This was a great video to show. I feel like I barely see creators be transparent about their statistics, and as someone who is simply a viewer and not a creator it's educational to say the least. Good that you made unexpected profits, as you can most likely put a lot of that towards your house renovation costs, or just using it to coast throughout the year lol.

[@karmaxxl7945]

Thanks for your honesty, your also helping me a viewer realizing the importance of supporting content I enjoy!
