How much youtube paid me in my first month with 40k subs | monetisation & analytics

[@nischa]

👉🏽 My Intentional Spending Tracker (free) - nischa.me/intentionalspendingtracker I’ve said I want to be transparent and open and show you my whole KZbin process and pre-tax numbers. I hope that by being transparent you’ll see what is possible for you too. ➡ My Free KZbin Guide: nischa.me/free-youtube-guide

[@BecomingBossC]

As a fellow KZbinr, I know how those months of zero dollars feel! Congratulations!

[@punjabiparry]

It's a really nice video Nischa ! I hope the video is not violating KZbin terms. People hesitate to share that much details. Thanks for sharing

[@drwagumaeliasjb4643]

Thanks Nischa for your transparency

[@jamesbelan]

Awesome thank you!

[@skeletonkeysproductionskp]

Great video @Nischa, as a fellow KZbinr (doing History, so much less profitable than Business) Ive struggled with a low subscriber count for almost a year. When you had 2000 subs, what active measures did you take to grow your channel? Promotions, social media etc?

[@heygerald]

Anyone else feel like they're in on something early with this channel? Can't wait to see Nischa continue to grow her audience. The world needs it!

[@CarolineInspired]

You were + are so right!!! I’ve only just seen discovered Nischa’s channel. Such an inspiration + full of amazing money wisdom ✨

[@JasonParmar]

Yeah, competition to Martin Lewis, MoneySavingExpert needs a competitor and a Millenial/Gen Z friendly one!

[@chiggz247]

She mentions 40k subs at time. Today I see 700k+! Impressive

[@marblekarma1731]

10 months later she has 700k+

[@boujieASMR]

Yesssss

[@jaredmello]

You are very far ahead of the game. Took me several years to get monetized, and still not making anything tangible. Videos like this motivate me to do better

[@memes2chill271]

pick a niche to make money first -NO FACE CHANNEL and then after your making 5k monthly jump to your primary niche....you'll make money

[@jaredmello]

@@memes2chill271 yes I’ve been seeing people do this.. It sounds like a good idea

[@LyricalMurderer1]

It doesn’t hurt that she is good looking

[@africangreydailylife]

Same my channel i am still waiting for earning from KZbin 😢

[@MyItchyDogUK]

@@memes2chill271 What is a NO FACE CHANNEL?

[@j0pj0p]

This is a great video - honest, straightforward content without any hyperbole. Looking forward to the 6-month and 12-month update on this. Especially given how quickly your subscriber base is growing.

[@nathananderson8720]

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 722 subs and > 200 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@LondonCityWalks]

Honestly Nischa, I was deeply disappointed after watching this video. Why? Because it took me a year to find your wonderful Channel! Super informative, super professional and your honesty and transparency are refreshing. Beautifully presented straight to camera. Genuinely surprised it took so long to reach the 4,000 Watched Hours (I'm at just under 3K with a 3-week old Channel). Thank you so much for sharing this video and Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@oskar3757]

$50,000 net a year from KZbin. You're killing it. Wishing you all the luck in the world!

[@rasalresid9147]

That's honestly amazing achievement, and thanks for providing your insight. Getting that first paycheck from KZbin is one of my favorite memories. I still remember it, there was lots of emotions involved. If it wasn't for my consistency and hard work (and a little bit of Famester of course), I probably wouldn't have made anything.

[@personal_finance_freedom]

Thank you Nischa for making and showing this video to the public. I am also from UK. It helps a lot because I have also started my Personal Finance channel too, and still figuring out how I have to navigate to monetization, and gaining confidence to be on the camera like you. Thank you for being honest with your income from your finance channel, very few people are honest and straight about their channel income but make videos that claim they are making loads of money, yet it's just for views. You have quality content, I am picking up some ideas for my finance channel. Thanks 😊

[@hishamradwan6902]

Hey Mate! I am working on a startup idea to help micro-influencers better monetize and leverage their reach on social media. I would love to get on a call with you and learn about your experience building, monetizing and creating content for your channels. Please let me know if you are interested.

[@allentham5497]

Thanks for your transparency! I've always wondered how long it takes to grow a channel from zero and get monetised. Congratulations on your progress thus far!

[@gaganpreetdhillon6814]

This is an awesome video for someone who was been divided on digitizing existing content. Currently a professor in Canada for Finance and Economics and I have been divided on starting a KZbin channel for my students. I will definitely be recommending your channel to my students for entrepreneurial inspiration , keep up the great work !

[@TheProcaztinator]

Watching this in 2024 makes me so proud of Nischa with how much she’s grown. Her content is amazing and I actually learn something that I want to apply for myself

[@IevaKambarovaite]

I am still working on getting monetised. I think the biggest mistake I made that slowed down my growth is that I wasn't consistent and I didn't stick to my niche. I totally agree it's not the get rich quick thing. You need to put a lot of work. Very happy to see the results you were able to achieve!! Well done you! 🎉

[@nischa]

Thank you & keep going - it’ll be worth it!

[@dreamthedream8929]

Sveika Ieva, it really depends, there are many channels and accounts on youtube, instagram, tiktok... that started making some good money quickly. There is nothing stopping you from monetizing your channel by affiliate marketing on youtube from your very first video, youtube and instagram doesnt mind that. However tiktok wants you to have 1000 followers before you can monetize your channel by affiliate links

[@michaell1665]

Not a YT content provider here, so take this with a grain of salt. However, I did see a couple of videos where the YTer made a killing unexpectedly with a seemingly mundane video. The key here, it seems, is to show a subject that everyone is curious about. Maybe a new angle towards an everyday problem, for example. And I don't mean clickbait - that might get views, but not subscriptions. Also, having great presentation skills, like Nischa, helps!

[@TheGeorunner]

@@michaell1665 At the risk of sounding quite shallow, physical attractiveness plays a huge role. I'd be curious to see her breakdown of m/f viewers. Not taking away from the quality of her content...it's quite good, but other factors contribute to this type of growth.

[@jaredmello]

@@TheGeorunner yes, there will always be an element of luck involved

[@belangerjs]

Great job on your content. I’m nearing my 40s, and watching your content mostly to validate that my financial approach is still “with the times” and that I haven’t lost touch. Frankly, this video was 100% new learning for me. Thank you!

[@wdbsurfer]

I find your channel to be the single most useful, open and lacking of fluff channel I’ve seen on KZbin. Keep up the great, informative videos. Most importantly, keep being you and retain that honest vibe in your videos and your channel will continue to grow.

[@M.J.R83]

I’m watching a video with you stating you have 40k subscribers but at the time of me watching you have 336k subscribers. Now that is real growth. Fair play to you 🎉🎉

[@robertgill2509]

I've always wondered how much money youtubers earn so it's really interesting hearing from you Nischa about how much you earn when you have a "modest" number of subscribers (I use the word modest very subjectively, 40,000 is still really impressive!). Love your channel and I love forward to watching more of your videos!

[@nischa]

Thank you Robert!

[@Isleofskye]

@@nischa I have just Subscribed from South East London/Kent and found this interesting and wish you well in your endeavours and it is obvious to me that you will succeed in Business and life,in general:)

[@KekszNET]

And 11 months later: 775k

[@harshdeepgupta]

As long as you doing what you want to do, and you are not hurting anyone else in doing that, don't spend a second in thinking what people on the side line are saying. A great line for me as someone who wants to launch their YT channel, but doesn't do it for that exact reason.

[@solrac5]

My 12 & 16 yr old are going to get a lot out of your videos. I had to read many business books to acquire the knowledge you have condensed into a few minutes. I find your content very entertaining and it’s going to teach my kids how money works so, THANK YOU!

[@priiyoo]

Wow never have I seen a you tuber post actual figures with the same level of transparency and also explain in details factors which determine how much you get paid ie age, location of the viewer etc. Thank you for your sharing something which in all honesty most other you tubers are unlikely to share but would also help other people that want to start up their own channel.

[@nischa]

Very glad to read this - thank you for always supporting Priya!

Amazing transparency, content and advice. It seems to me, that you’re learning fast, cause after a year of being on this platform, you’re nailing it. Your presence in front of the camera and the structure you provide for the viewer are a breeze! Will definitely continue watching - and become wealther by putting your tips into action. :) Thanks Nischa for being here!

[@k_a47]

Thank you Nischa, you channel was recommended and I have stayed ever since. I am only a few years younger but you have really contributed in helping me refocus on any financial decisions I will come to face as a young adult. Thank you, it is fair to say your thorough knowledge, transparency, simplicity and 'straight to the point' delivery to mention a few was the reason I pressed subscribe.

[@nischa]

Thank you so much!

[@melissabreaux2357]

I love how you break everything down for us from when you started until the major change when you got serious about posting several times a week as well as how they pay based on location age and views! This really helps us understand some of the analytics and how KZbin pay works. Keep up the great informative posts! You are so inspiring to me as a woman and entrepreneur! I would be proud to have you in my inner circle. Can you post more about single investment choices you make? Does your course teach about your choices of investments and walk us through how to start making particular investment choices?

[@JhonFinancial]

For someone who is just starting this journey, I’ve found this very informative thank you.

[@creez1]

Love it!! Moral of the story is passion, commitment and effort! Thx for sharing, KZbin channels can be a great source of income as a side hustle or a sole income source but generally speaking, it's like anything else, you get out what you put in especially when just you're just starting! Great channel and content BTW!!

[@londonunnie]

As also a corporate girly in the UK trying to make the pivot to creating ;) I'm such a fan of this channel. Thank you for sharing your learnings so transparently and standing by your values and principles!

[@flow1614]

You're fantastic! Thanks for sharing this. I'm trying to get my 50+ y.o. boyfriend to start a channel because I recognize his potential. His videos would definitely tap into a niche market that could use his expertise. However, he has many doubts and fears because the information that's out there about getting started is often confusing or misleading. Your explanation is incredibly simple and clear and I sent him the video so that he can make a more informed decision. Whatever road he takes, I'll support him. I'm just thankful to you for allowing me to be able to pass on helpful and useful information. Keep doing the good work. Bless up 🙏🏾

[@RoryBland]

I’d love to see an update of this! Your channel has blown up so much since you made this 😮

[@ThwaitesFabrication]

This is a great summary of what it takes to get monetised! I’ve been running a business working all hours for the last 7 years and have posted a few times on KZbin for a bit of fun and seeing this has really helped me want to step it up a bit and post more often. Even 50-100 dollars a day is incredibly useful in todays climate when you are swapping hours for money.

[@ImogenWhite]

Wow! Your growth is amazing. I have been going 2 years, it took me 7 months to get monetised but I am still creeping towards 10k subs!! Love your content btw!

All that being said, thank you for the information.

[@RenatoHideki]

your growth and numbers and pretty good compared to mine! I started in Jan 22, grew mostly because of my shorts, 38k subs and just got monetized. My numbers are around 1 dollar a day! I believe it is a long term thing and will continue to grind!

Oh wow!!! Found your channel earlier this week and it’s amazing to see how much you’ve grown in the year 2023! 750k+ in a year! 😮 I would love to see an updated video if you feel comfortable and have the time! Congrats on your growth! You’re very insightful and I’m learning a lot from you!

Well that was a real breath of fresh air! All I can say is well done, its clear to see that your enthusiasm shines and I really hope you thrive!

As I come back, makes me think I need to just start a new channel. My growth is nothing and she has gotten 11k subs just since yesterday, and she has 220k subs since video was posted. Not sure if it’s worth investing a lot more for equipment or just starting over. My stuff currently just hasn’t been catching on for years. Very discouraging

[@jdmecarr]

Can't believe you only had 40k subs 8 months ago. 620k today 🤯 you deserve it!

[@IBSaurabh]

Took me a year to get monetized. Not making much as of now as CPM is low here in India, but i have been approached by a lot of sponsors due to the wild growth on my channel in last two months, so that gives me hope!

[@Puaspapa]

If you want to help KZbinrs…. Just watch the Ads. Although it’s painful to watch it to the end, it sure helps the creator. Watching Ads is another form of analytics KZbin created

[@sarahisroaming]

I do that as well. I figure it’s the least I can do for enjoying their content for free.

[@starwalk3r]

One thing that you didn't mention about how you got so many views/subscribers in one year is that being physically attractive helps tremendously. Good editing and good content helps as well.

Just be aware that December is generally the month where advertisers are willing to pay the most to advertise on KZbin, and also the month where they run the most ads.

Your material is awesome... Big fan of your work.

[@saidamir]

Awesome video! Generally however geography and watch time are biggest determinants of your CPM. Age and niche do play a role too but to a lesser extent. So if you wanna maximize earnings, aim for US/UK-based audience and have them watching your video for as long as possible :)

[@Milly_in_denmark]

Wow this was helpful. Am almost making it to 1000 followers and almost the 4000 watch ours. But I was disappointed that my viewers are mostly us and Denmark and not Ugandans/Africans. But now am actually happy that when I get monetized it will be good for me having more viewers from US and Denmark. Thank you for this info. Never heard anyone talk about it😊

New subscriber here! Thanks for sharing all your time & efforts with us.

[@garyb354]

I think this topic is always of interest and you made an excellent presentation of important content. I was going to ask how you grew from 40k subscribers to your current 297k subscribers so quickly, but I see that you already have provided a video explaining how you gained 150k subscribers in just 3 months. And now an additional 100k subscribers. Your income from KZbin must have exploded also and should provide you the means to create more good content. I hope you have continued success and keep creating content to help others be financially successful. I am a much older person and when I was young, advice from many people was “money can’t buy you happiness”. And while that can be true, not having enough money and a secure future can buy lots of misery.
