how much youtube paid me in my first year being monetized | my analytics & youtube income

[@Celinelikedion]

possibly the most requested video for my channel 🤠 THANK YOU to each of you for the support, this wouldn't be possible without this community 💞

[@MyBigAppleCityNY]

Thanks Celine and congrats 🤩. Very insightful and inspiring video! I'm hoping to get monetized in 2024, half way there in watch hours and making content from NYC. You're so right about celebrating the small victories, staying consistent and never knowing which videos will perform the best. 😀Wishing you all the best!

[@AimaLifeStyle10]

I just got monetized a couple of days ago. After years of starting and shutting down channels, I finally gave it all that I learned and God Helped me. So my advice to everyone is that don't give up and be adaptive because every day things change.

[@AimaLifeStyle10]

@@hlbgghj Not even close. Its been one week since I got monetized and so far only got a revenue of $1 dollar and 64 cents. hahahahahahhaa people on social media make it seem like everyone can rich from youtube but its not easy and youtube only pushes big channels. So if people are already big and making money then youtube is good for them but everyone else has to work reallly hard and hope they get lucky.

[@TryingSO]

@@AimaLifeStyle10this… LUCK! People can’t believe this, but to get that chance is based on LUCK… after that big break you have to WORK to keep up… but at first is all luck

[@victoriaveeart]

you definitely have to love KZbin to keep going. I have multiple channels but what I realize in terms of growth, your niche that you choose and the value you can give within it can determine how fast you grow. ive had 1 channel where it took over a year for a video to blow up and another freshly made channel that took only a month (literally gaining over 1k views a day). the difference was one was more of llifestyle/makeup video and another a asmr video. asmr is highly searchable so creating seo definitely helped. while lifestyle took longer because people have to ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT YOU and what you talk about for it to go anywhere. learned that the hard way 😂😂 and another major thing is the title and thumbnail psychology behind it. KZbin really is a learning curve omg

[@Celinelikedion]

there's definitely a learning curve!! experimenting is key, I'm happy to hear you're finding success with your new channel and wishing you the best of luck 💫

Hello Celine! I came from your other video revolving around the same topic, and I’m also someone who started when I was fairly young. I would create videos on an almost daily basis, but I stopped because I was unsure of my niche. I only now recently restarted my channel having decided on a niche (digital art)! Growth has been a little bit difficult for me, but I hope to grow one day. It’s really warming to see someone who started their channel early and didn’t abandon it! It really really inspires me to keep going. This video is heaven-sent, thank you so much for making this video!:) 🌹

Congratulations Celine! That's not bad for one stream of income. A stream of income that could lead to other streams like memberships and brand deals. I'm here for the stream of consciousness. Your success is joyful to me at the same time. Personally the finance part of You Tube (CPMs & RPMS) doesn't really interest me. The CLV is what kept me. The Celine Lifestyle Vlog. That's what captivated me. I believe your top 5 loner vlog is how I found you and your trip to Vancouver is what had me venturing deeper into the rabbit hole. I'm only one subscriber and you give my comments and conversation so much care and attention. When a content creator has a lot of subscribers you don't expect that because you have many other people to answer. Most give the generic replies but you don't. I feel seen and valued. That's currency to me these days. Thank you. Yes, I'm a writer, producer and content creator but I'm a You Tube consumer first. I like being inspired and connected with good people. Mental and spiritual health is my wealth. So continue to grow Celine. I'm happy for you. Your kind spirit is what's going to be the light and beacon that will keep attracting the masses. Keep rising Walter

thanks so much, Walter! 🙌 always grateful for every opportunity that comes up and all of the support along the way 😌 CLV is a new one hahaha I'm here for it!! this made my day, always love reading everyone's comments - even if it takes a while to get through them sometimes!
