How much YouTube paid me in my first month 2024 | Analytics

[@angelicad.barreto]

We need an update after 6 months of being monetized! this is so inspirational and so helpful.

[@mrsgemini]

As someone who use to be a content creator.. don’t get lost in letting your subscribers dictate your channel. It will make you lose who you are. You will begin to feel burnout and no longer desire to make content.

[@sanlakadnyo]

I agree.^^

[@Jon-Ivy]

I feel like this happens to many musicians as well. But yes, point taken. Just be yourself, as always. Something I will try to keep in mind as I'm adding material to my channel. 👍

[@ProblemReactionSolution]

Very true comment

[@Vanlifewithdonna-leighperfect]

Nice authentic insight

[@DestinationRetirement]

That is really good advice. I will take that advice for my own self/channel.

[@pjlacey3990]

Once or twice a month discuss a money topic. Some ideas, how much money I spent on groceries as a solo silver for June. How much money I spent on insurance a month. How I invest money as a silver solo. All things that we as soon to be retired need to know. Take us shopping sometime. Way to go Jen!

[@user-hc6so5ul6o]

Agreed - anything money is an attractant for most of this audience. It is always interesting and potentially helpful to see how others deal with money and what it can do for us.

[@nikk3251]

Agteed here from the UK too. This isn't being nosey, this is being very interested in a revenue stream that clearly, Jen, you've made such an unexpected (to you) success of! Xx

[@Liberal.Linda.]

I also agree. I'd watch every single video on how to manage money. Like literally explaining to me like I'm five how to move money from my savings account into an index fund and maybe some T-bills. I have the money, but don't have a clue how to do that, and I DO NOT want to use some finance guy who will click a dozen buttons and expect a few grand for it. How to make yourself financially safe would be another one I'd love, if she knows about that. Like how to make yourself judgement proof. Or just anything else money-related. Really.

This is one video that honestly breaks down KZbin earnings, even better than some big KZbin channels that always talks about KZbin hacks

You are the first KZbinr who (geniunely) openly share their revenues. I really thank you for this. Keep learning i'd say will eventually pay off.

[@CelticLassCreations]

Right!?!! I’ve always wondered! This is fantastic. Transparency finally

[@HoofbeatsWaggingtailsRanch]

So true. I have asked other content creators with a high number of subscribers for help and to subscribe to my channel, but they not only ignore to help me-they don't even answer me. I really enjoy this channel because Silver and Solo seem to genuinely care about people. It's hard to find that nowadays. I've been trying to grow my channel for months, and I'm stuck at 66 subscribers.

I found that to be very helpful. I really hope you continue to update us on your progress and your earnings for a little while so we can get an idea of where it goes. As I watch this right now you have 40.7k subscribers, and I just have to continue to hear about this journey. This was great!

Wow, thank you!

[@melissaharris9830]

Jenn I have to tell you that I've watched A LOT of YT videos on various topics and YOU my friend have made the BIGGEST IMPACT on my life in multiple ways! 1. I love how you are just a REAL person! Meaning you're not changing who you are for the camera or for money or for likes etc. 2. You openly sharing your personal story about being let go from your job of 22 years struck a cord with me! Your COURAGE, CONFIDENCE & WILLINGNESS to just be forthright and open and honest with your viewers with no regard for the outcome ENCOURAGED me in a way that I cannot even explain! 3. You GENUINELY sharing your lack of knowledge of any kind about YT before you started your channel and then filming the entire process of working on getting monetized in order to HELP other people in their journeys down the road is like WOW! Again the honesty and forthrightness is to be RESPECTED! 4. You ACTUALLY sharing your monetized information with your viewers the way that you have is ABSOLUTELY UNHEARD of! (Those ppl that I have seen so it didn't seem real to me at all.) THIS information is what people like myself (who've thought about "trying" to start my own YT channel) REALLY need to KNOW in order to make an informed decision! 5. Your GENUINENESS, KIND SPIRIT, HONESTY, WELL SPOKEN, EDUCATED, DOWN TO EARTHNESS (not a word I know, Haha😂) are truly something to behold! Jenn I feel like you and I could be fast friends given the opportunity! So much more I'd really low to share with you but not on a public forum. So let me just leave you with this. YOU have just BLESSED me and ENCOURAGED me during a time in my life that I desperately need it! I BELIEVE in my heart that The Lord lead me to your videos tonight and that my life is going to change in a positive way because of YOU! YOU are an INSPIRATION to us ALL! Praying for your continued success my friend! Much RESPECT coming your way from your new friend in Texas! Thank YOU!!!❤

That's honestly amazing achievement, and thanks for providing your insight. Getting that first paycheck from KZbin is one of my favorite memories.

There’s something about you, and I can’t quite place it. I’m watching you .. and it feels like you’re ‘winning’ (I hope my comment doesn’t jinx it) .. but most importantly, it feels like I’m ‘winning’ WITH you. There’s something very genuine about your subdued but earnest style. It ‘clicks.’ Your toned down cautiously optimistic happiness gave me a little jolt of happiness, too. This, on a platform where grief, anger, and woe seems too prevalent. It feels like a little glimpse of the very early unfulfilled promise of what KZbin could be as a platform.

[@LurkerSmurf]

Congratulations, Jen! I've heard creators say they average $300-400 per video when they have about 80k subscribers. You show that the amount can vary greatly per video. It's enough to make the time spent filming and editing worth it as a hobby that brings income, which is great. The average has to go up a lot to make this a creator's main job, but then they're also putting more time into it.

[@ABlokeinBuenosAires]

I'm on a similar journey. I've been posting 2 times a week since late November 2023, and I got monetized last week - basically all off the back of a single semi-viral video (quite spectacular to watch the views rise!) However, the difference is that my channel is built around (my "niche" as they call it) reporting news. This means that almost none of my videos are 'ever green': if people don't watch with the first 2 weeks, they probably never will. Anyway, we'll see how it goes. Good luck with your journey.

Hi Jen I just watched your video and I felt compelled to say firstly, boy did I need that. And secondly, you are incredibly likable. I just started my KZbin channel a week ago and I have four subscribers and I’ve been furiously trying to figure out how to make content and then posting it. I’m doing pretty good for my first time, but lack of subscribers has me questioning if this is the right move. Attempting to monetize social media is some thing that was born out of the beloved wildly successful company started and enjoyed for 10 years has hit a crossroads. After watching your video, I thought, gee maybe I should post about that too. Going to go watch all the rest of your videos. I would consider myself honored if you would be one of my followers.
