How much did YouTube pay me? Your questions answered

[@mneci7378]

I watched You tube for a couple of years before I realized by subscribing and liking helped the person you were watching. I subscribed, but didn't hit the all -didn't know to until I watched someone that explained it how hitting the like helps also and now on that channel on every new film they ask people to subscribe all and hit the thumbs up to help them. I think people watch and don't realized how it helps. I love how you openly explained everything and hope your audience continues to build. Thank you.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

In truth, there's no reason why people should know these things, but I thought I would try and share some of the behind the scenes. So thank you for likes and comments - you are one of the good-guys!!

[@SketchesnScrubs]

Thank you for the update Liz! I’m glad the video went well. It’s a nice reminder that we’re one video away from reaching our audience & that KZbin growth is not linear. Happy new year!

[@LizChadertonStudio]

it would be nice to be able to predict though, wouldn’t it? I’ve done some really good films which languish…. happy new year and I hope your channel goes from strength to strength xx

[@stampinturtles]

I try to like every video I watch. I also try to comment on videos I like. Especially creators I want to help. So thank you so much for posting this. I have been telling my viewers about your channel for the diy watercolor ground. That changed my life! So thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Happy new year to you and your family. ❤🎉

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Thank you! Word of mouth is brilliant 😁

[@ArgeeP]

I am learning so much watching the videos here but have not figured out how to search for something specific like this diy watercolor ground you referred to. I would absolutely love watching and learning how to diy it myself! Is there something I can do specifically to find that particular video?

[@stampinturtles]

@@ArgeeP just type in diy watercolor ground in the search and lots of videos come up but you need to make sure it’s from Liz. Or you can scroll through her videos until you see the title.

[@ArgeeP]

I absolutely can't believe 1. It was so easy to find in the KZbin search bar (I thought it was going to be a slog!) And 2. It's SO EASY TO MAKE! Holy cow, what an easy thing to make and considering I make my own gesso to begin with, it will save me even MORE in the long run-thank you to you both! (Side note: initially I was asking, not very clearly, if there was a way to search a specific channel, in this instance, Ms. Chaderton's, but I don't think that's possible?)

[@LizChadertonStudio]

@@ArgeeP @stampinturtles glad you sorted each other out! The other thing to do is to go to my channel (click on my face under this film) and tgere is a canvas playlist with all the canvas films in the same spot. What recipe do you use to make your gesso @argeeP ?

[@ncr525pcrp4]

Dear Liz, thank you so much for this most enlightening video! I know that it takes a tremendous amount of time and effort to put together even a short 5 to 7 minute edited recording. I have been painting watercolors for nearly 5 years now and still very much enjoy watching other artists on KZbin. I can’t believe it’s taken until now for me to discover you, but here I am, one of your newest subscribers! I hope that my subscription and my comments will help you reach your goal of 50,000 this year. You deserve it! Your videos are wonderful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your skills. 😸

[@LizChadertonStudio]

[@MelArchbold]

It’s pretty hard to compare as it depends on the ads that were run, duration watched of ad, click through rate, ect so 1 million views is going to pay a huge difference between creators. I’m so glad that I was recommended your channel! I can’t wait to see what you film next :)

Hullo Liz, I am glad that you are being compensated for your time creating content! I have had a 30+ Art career and I never got involved with internet sales. I have edited some videos but never enjoyed that activity in the least! I was intrigued by your video and thought you did a lovely job explaining your KZbin experience, thank you! I enjoy watching your videos and as a watercolor painting artist I have learned quite a bit as well! I have been painting since I was 10 my gran taught me basics and very traditional methods too. Last year I used white paint in one of my paintings. Now I was taught that if you use white of any kind you would have to change the category of the painting from watercolor to mixed media. I know that there are still societies that are quite rigid in their definition of what a watercolor painting is! I hope my likes and comments do help you and your channel and I look forward to watching your videos in the new year because no one can know how to do everything, I truly feel that we need to continue to learn and create to simply create better artworks! Thank you for sharing all of your ideas and knowledge. Have a lovely day!

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Thank you for your lovely comment. The moment we stop learning we stagnate. I do take a very mixed media approach, but watercolour is my first love.

What I find about you-tube is that it is much divided by generations. What I mean is that young folks seem to focus on making a living from their videos whereas us older folks enjoy sharing our talents through the videos and welcome the income, but it is not the focus of our videos. Your first video about how YT paid you pulled me in, this video encouraged me to subscribe because I have always wanted to paint. I will be coming back for that. I watch Bob Ross videos regularly but all I get from them is total relaxation and a heart full of love but absolutely no painting skills. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

This was super interesting! I have just subscribed as I would like to learn about watercolour, but I also have a KZbin channel I started about building our off-grid farm in Australia from scratch. Like you in the beginning, I started it a couple of years ago but have never done much with it. I worked out how to edit and film, but I have a long way to go to really do a great job at it. While you are not earning a stack from your KZbin channel, it is certainly worth it, especially in this current economic climate. Your video has made me consider picking it up again so thanks for breaking it all down in a simple, easy-to-understand manner and being so transparent. I hope your channel continues to grow, you have a lovely way about you and you come across like someone I would like to have a cuppa with! - Emma x

Hi Liz. I'm a new subscriber after seeing you mentioned by Jenna Rainey. This was particularly interesting as I'm a prime member and always wondered if that meant no support to those artists I follow. Now I know it does so I'm much relieved! I always try to remember to like those videos which I watch but I don't turn on notifications as I find them too distracting on my phone. I check in at least a couple of times a day to my subscriptions to see what is new and then I can see straight away what videos actually appeal to me, as not all of them do! Anyway, I look forward to watching more of your content and getting to know you and your work through KZbin ❤

Hi Liz, so very interesting! I really appreciate your honesty. You just popped up in my feed, the title of the video got me interested. It made me think about how I may have found you if I had not been reeled in by that. Your channel does go by your name and does not have any clue as to what you do or what you promote, are interested in? For instance, if I google watercolour, I get videos with watercolour in the name or in the authors name. I then went to check out my other subscribed and noticed that they do have a clue in their name. I wonder if adding watercolour to your name would pull in more views? I am an artist, when I get to it, lately I have been learning to play the banjo and so that has taken my focus. I use youtube for that, so algorithms send me what I need. It is all a big mystery to me and when I try and think about it my head hurts, but I thought I'd share that. I will check out your other videos now as I do use watercolours, I am a windsor and newton loyal fan from way back. Thankyou! ( English woman 62 years old living in Australia )

@@LizChadertonStudio since writing this post I have watched a few of your videos, they are so carefully presented and you are so good at giving the information needed! I shall be watching more and I will be ticking the 'watched' thumbs up Thankyou!

Since comments are important, is it beneficial if we also “like” other people’s comments?

[@LizChadertonStudio]

The algorithm considers how users engage with the content, such as likes, comments, shares, and watch time. High engagement typically results in better visibility, so liking other comments does impact 😊

Thank you for another insightful video! Im a subscriber, and I DO watch all your videos. What's the point orherwise? Happy New Year.

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Happy New Year, and thank you for watching. I tend to subscribe to bookmark interesting account, but it doesn’t mean I watch them all. I am going to try and be better at commenting this year.

Me again :-). I have noticed on some yt channels that they have a button for a direct gift or donation. I wonder how much yt would keep of the amount? Would that be an option for you? Yes, I know you are an artist and not a tech vlogger 😁 but I'm so insistent because I would like to find out how I can best support small artist channels like yours on yt, and not just sponsor the media giants yt/google. I don't mind giving yt a share, because they are giving me access to gazillions of helpful and interesting videos, but I like transparency what my actions achieve. I always like, and often subscribe and interact with channels I like. Btw, I'm originally here because I'm interested in urban sketching, but thanks to you I am warming up to art/junk journaling. 😀

[@LizChadertonStudio]

LOvely to hear you are warming up to journaling too! I have a few scheduled for the next month. I do have Super Thanks activated on my account - it should appear under the film. In fact someone gave me $2 yesterday - I haven't spent it yet!! KZbin takes 30% of these tips and the creator gets paid 70% in with their advertising payment each month. If you are happy to support channels, I for one really appreciate it!

We may mainly be older viewers but my 8 and 10 year old grandchildren watched with me! The older one wants to do a dinosaur painting like the one behind you, the younger wants to know if you paint Ninjas? 😂❤

[@LizChadertonStudio]

😂 brilliant! get them painting early! And sorry, never done a ninja!

[@susan1965sc]

I tend to watch on the tv, so I haven't worked out if you can hit the like button. Enjoy your channel 😀. Pop on the internet to click likes when I get around to it .

[@LizChadertonStudio]

Thanks for that! I’ve never tried KZbin on tv. Is the quality of the film ok?

[@susan1965sc]

@@LizChadertonStudio yes great quality.
