How Much YouTube Paid Me with 1,000 Subs in 2024!

[@ChannelMakers]

We would love your help by answering this question so we can help more channels succeed! If you’re monetized, how many videos did you publish before you got monetized? If you’re not, how many videos do you have now? Next, learn how we succeed on every channel we start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6iQYZ2Pr8eZmq8

[@Dresspatternmaking]

Took me 1 year and 20 videos to get monetised. Having said that, I currently only have 28 videos, though I have removed about 10 videos so really I have uploaded a total of 38 videos in 4 years. Not regular/consistent enough to really grow (Currently 12K subs). I do get about 250-300 subscribers every month and earn about $50-80 $Aust per month from YT ads. (It does go up a bit when I add new content).

[@Sci-FiVault]

I think I had a little over 180 videos over about 180 days before I got monetized. Daily video drops were the norm for the niche, that's why I did it. First month of monetization did like 750 dollars. Couldn't have done this without the Income School course though! Not a current subscriber of it, but I have been several times over the years. (If you'd like, I'd totally be game to share my story/channel for you guys to do a video with too.)

[@meanneighbor2243]

My channel started by accident just posting videos of a mean neighbor Karen harrassing me. Now I'm all in headed to 500 subscribers! Life is ironic!!

[@EnToiBeauty]

I posted 39 videos before I got monetized. Posted my first video in June 2021 and was monetized by mid-October 2021

[@Sci-FiVault]

@@meanneighbor2243 Lol! Love it.

[@WeeLassReacts]

I got monetised after my first couple of videos. Reaction content has always done well on KZbin. And I'm able to monetise them because I edit in a way I can argue fair use. The content isnt on screen for any longer than 10 seconds before I cut away. I never show the whole episodes of what I am watching. I try and keep all music out of my reactions, so no intro songs to the shows or famous musical numbers. My advice is to remember that your channel is a CHANNEL. Like on TV. If you want to do lots of different types of content, have different channels. Like we have sports channels, movie channels etc. When you upload a video, youtube sends it to your current subscribers, if its not what they like or what they subscribed for, they wont click on it and KZbin wont then promote it further. Consider your thumbnails: there should be an element of brand to them, something that lets everyone know its one of YOUR videos, while also telling them what they're about to watch. Good luck everyone!!

Good tips, thanks!

@@affirmations2meditation great, thanks ✌️

[@LoneGamer88]

I subscribed to you,from this comment. I'm als starting out, only starting a month ago

[@tube-master]

@ now that is so awesome! Congrats on starting. You just took The hardes step so Welcome to the creators community! ✌️

[@thetraveltitan]

Grateful for my 158 awesome subscribers! 🥰🙌 Your support keeps me going every day. Tough times come and go, but I’m here to stay, growing and improving for all of us. Let’s keep the journey going! 💪💫

[@MichaelShingo]

That's crazy, 12K subs with 36K views a month earns me about $15. I probably published 50 videos before I got monetized. Mostly just as an online portfolio with no intention of growing my channel.

[@TechCityExplorer]

Are you views from shorts? Those pay way less, also your niche matters too.

[@MichaelShingo]

@@TechCityExplorer It's my niche, anime music covers pay very little. Anyway, I just enjoy making the videos!

[@NextGenGamezz]

i know why , your videos are really short this guy make 6 to 12 minute videos so he can have 3 or more ads in them but if the video is 1 to 2 minutes you can only add one ad

[@sierralovesdogs]

Got monetized around 45 long form vids over 16 months. I had a good vid about New Orleans that I was really proud of and it didn’t do well initially but it grew late! Agree with so much of what you shared!

[@SeekingDistractions]

Thank you so much for making this video! We are on the road to 1k and monetisation. Started uploading in March and now we are at 652 subs! We are gunning for it!

[@TeslaOutage]

Thank you for sharing. I just started last month and just have 80 subs with 5 videos. This is inspiring.

[@Penguinvacay]

I’m at 258 subs since April, feels about stuck at the moment, plan to just keep going and learning, These videos and the stories in the comments give me hope

[@ItsErickaLui]

Thank you for always putting out informative and inspiring videos like this! I got monetized after publishing 8 long form and 54 shorts, all this happened 10 months after I published my first video :)

[@cheeseslopeproductions]

This is really encouraging to see! I've been dealing with a stagnate channel for a few months, so seeing this video was really helpful. I've uploaded 97 videos (71 longform, 26 shorts) and have had enough subscribers for almost a year now; but at the moment it feels like I'm breaking even with the watch hours that I'm losing from last year. So thank you for this!

[@ChannelMakers]

You're welcome! You're going to get there. If you keep breaking even then one or two higher performing videos may do the trick!

[@itscarlosytchannel]

I'm at 470 subs and 239 videos so far. Ive been on KZbin for two years already. I took some time off but I'm doing what I can to start building momentum again!

[@LondonMap]

Keep posting. Be positive. You will succeed . I have watched your video. Well presented.

[@itscarlosytchannel]

​@@LondonMap I truly appreciate the feedback. It really motivates me to improve my process and make much better content.

[@SmartSolutionsForHome]

In my case, it was after 7 videos. But thanks to my "amazing" consistency, it took me a year and a half to upload them all ;)

[@FrontLinesForgotten]

Got 1.5k subs in our first month, only really have shorts uploaded at the moment though. Will be going all in on long form in the near future.

[@Dadlifegunpla]

Great video. I’ve been on YT for over a year now. 109 videos mixed long form and shorts. Recently I’ve added some live streams. Still not monetized, I am seeing improvements just extremely slow. Lol

[@Worldwheelchairwarriors]

This month will be my 2nd anniversary of being active on KZbin. I have a channel that is unique. I am not expecting to explode. But publish everything helpful about wheelchairs. Nothing about sales. There are a lot of channels for sales. I want to post what will be helpful to wheelchair users to be safe and skillful with their wheelchairs. I am still a small channel. Onward we go. Liza

[@bussielolabanda]

Am still working towards monetizing. Am working on publishing more long content videos. Thank you for sharing!

[@RubiesRescuedRelics]

The struggle is real. New channel, new creator.

[@6r4metroman]

[@9livespool]

Great energy. I'm new on my journey. 34 videos, 274 subs. Just trying to focus on originality and providing value by really helping others with their game.

[@seasider101]

I've produced over 60 video's and am happy with the slow growth as there's nothing too exciting content on my channel for people to stay long... it's for those that love driving through scenery and weather. Someday I'll do a blanket thumbnail session to see if it interests any new visitors. Thanks for your video ❤

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

What I would like to share on the topic is that it took me 2.5 years to get 300 subscribers. Once I decided to educate myself on the ins and outs of KZbin it took me 8 months to get 1000 subscribers. The learning journey continues for me a humble 2100 subscribers later. Thanks guys for your insights, the knowledge you share from your content testing is appreciated 👍👍 Marc

[@Rufio1975]

Another crazy thing I noticed,is that it took me a little over a year to reach 1000 subs with around 50 videos, but as soon as I reached 1000 subs, it seems like my subs increased big time. I got to 1400 in about 2 months. I definitely didn't expect that.

[@mlangfordoutdoor]

My channel sat dormant for years and I decided to post a few video's, getting excited to see enough revenue coming in that will pay me a little-not much but it's fun to see the coins jingle in

[@CreativeThinking52]

Very informative video. My channel growth is slow but steady. I'm over 1k subscribers. The struggle is real. I'm working on my 4k watch hours now. I will not quit.👍👏💃110 likes

[@MrEthos]

I balance part time work, hobbies, personal life and KZbin on top of that... and it's been tough keeping up with all of them. It's already tough spending +20h on a video, but when i've got exams coming up, I need to consistently get my workouts in, spend time with family- it's not easy to balance most of the time. Ever since the beginning of the summer, I haven't uploaded a single video. I obsessed over perfection constantly, and ended up scrapping three full videos because I felt they weren't good enough. Now i'm just trying to catch up and upload again. Currently not monetized due to age restrictions in my country, a legal guardian would have to control the AdSense account, but I will be monetized soon!

[@TheSearchwithLisa]

So I started doing my videos end of October 2023 . I did a long form video a week .. missing only 2 or3 weeks total but I got partnered w/ 3000 hours with 750 subs with 43 videos end of August technically . So I need about 600 more hours and 195 more subs for the full monetization with ads . I’ve also started to do more than 1a weeks too

[@Twins_Project_Official]

I've uploaded around 200 videos since last year and the growth of my channel is very slow, or maybe because the niche I use is over saturated and has a small audience. 200 of my content are "royality rock music" I felt burnt out and haven't created any more content for several months and finally I decided to experiment with making covers of songs that were going viral, which was good for audience traffic. The results have been really great. One of my cover videos got over 7k views in a month. I agree with what you said. As a small channel, we must experiment with what might work. Even in similar categories and niches

[@_healthycleanrecipes_]

Thank you for your support. I have 748 videos uploaded. Not monetized yet but I keep going…

[@AndrewStonerock]

I just got approved for monetization today. I'm interested to see what the numbers will look like. I got it within a month of posting content. It was completely by accident. I made a reaction video about a paranormal investigation group. Their fans didnt like it and dislike bombed my channel and that video. I took the video down. Turns out they went on X and bragged about taking down some evil youtuber. Some of my subs saw that and brought it up to the greater paranormal and debunking channels. Within a day, I found myself wrapped up in a huge community and had some fairly big channels making videos about me. Not that my content isnt good, I was getting views and subs before all this went down. But that fan group really put me in the spot light and now I have a huge community around me and they've been nothing but supportive and encouraging.

[@UpsideDownBeautiful]

16 videos, 296 subscribers, 450 watch hours, and serious effort starting August 7. Would love to have channel evaluated! Found a pretty unique niche without much competition…

[@BlunderBusImprov]

Not monetized yet. Finding it difficult to earn subscribers. Our channel features clips from improv comedy performances. We have 36 videos and started publishing in January of 2024. Our top videos have just over 500 views. We have anotehr 3 with over 350. The rest are below 100. Our older videos did have accompanying Shorts that were associated with their longer source video, but that took a ton of time to create and configure. (WOuld love insight into shortening editing time.) We do have gaps between publishing as its based on our performance schedule. We are performing more regularly now (monthly) so it should get more regular. We do have 2 videos scheduled weekly for the next 4 weeks and have 2 more performances we can edit into videos. Thanks for the great contnet and if you do reply to this comment.

[@ryanfb]

494 videos published, not monetized. 😅 A lot of those are from when I was just starting out, learning the ropes and uploading daily. Since that time, I've gotten a real mic, a real camera (and transitioned from faceless), a real green screen, and my packaging and production is a lot more dialed in to my satisfaction now, though I've backed the pace down to around weekly. Still surprisingly hard to keep up consistency and build up a backlog so I don't have to worry about it! Looking to branch out more in my videos and content to mix things up a bit more now. Appreciate this video as probably one of the more realistic ones I've seen for what small channels can expect for early phases of monetization. Like you though I *have* made money even though I'm not monetized; a whole $5 from someone clicking my tip jar link! 🤣

[@ChannelMakers]

I'm glad to see you're still plugging away at it and learning. It's going to happen!

[@EuskalKazeta]

We have 136 videos and are still not monetized. We have over 1,000 subscribers. But we are a real niche channel on the Basque culture. We've seen some videos about the Basque people take off, but not ours. Perhaps we are too specific. Would love some tips.

I was at about 4 years and 210 videos before I got monetized. A lot of first videos was just me fooling around. Nothing was edited and the sound was absolutely horrible. I still keep the crappy videos so I'm reminded of how much I've improved. Eventually, I had a video that was enough by itself for my channel to be monetized. It has over 70K views and drove traffic to 30 of my other videos that were tied to the same series.

[@adamdezsi]

I just got monetized a few weeks ago. I have 13 videos and 2 shorts, 1.2k subscribers and I'd had the 1k for months, only had to wait for the watch time to accumulate. I haven't uploaded in over a year as I've lost my cushy day job and had to hustle ever since but I hope I can get back to it soon. With the few views my channel gets I'm making somewhere between $1.50 and $6 a day. Best of luck to all of you!

[@TheRealPubQuiz]

Not monetised yet - but only been posting for 3 months. Very similar story to your new channel. Blasted the first month just to poulate the channel (and learn the basics). Can't lkeep that up though, down to posting 2 or 3 videos a week now. 3 months in.....388 Subs, 2.8K watch hours and 50 Quiz videos posted as of today.

[@KyrasThoughts]

Amazing video again, I love how honest you are, that is why I watch you, I feel that you tell us things as they are, not only half of them 😊. I have only 12 videos on my channel and I usually get around 20 to 40 views before it flatlines. However, this is my first channel so I know that I have a lot to learn, I stutter a lot so I need to use jump cuts very often 😀and also I guess I should learn to write more interesting scripts. I really like your scripts because they are often very informative and engaging. But at the same time, I am not sure if I show KZbin what my niche is, once I found out that it was promoting one of my videos - I think it was about happiness when chronically ill - after a video that was recorded story about a lady having a relationship with her nephew, totally different topic and honestly, I felt a bit insulted how KZbin could think that they have anything in common 😅 So I guess it still does not know whom to show my videos to. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with your channel and maybe also how exactly did you use the affiliate links from the beginning to monetize it even before the official monetization 😊
