Small Channel, Big Milestone: My First YouTube Paycheck + Analytics Breakdown | My Journey So Far

I was SO thrilled when I got my first paycheck from KZbin. I had worked so hard for so long to start earning money on youtube and it finally happened! I got monetized on November 9th 2023 but because I had so much going on in November - December I wasn't posting nearly as frequently, that coupled with adsense issues just made it to where unfortunately I didn't ACTUALLY get paid until February 2024! But either way it's finally happened and I want to share how much I earned from my first paycheck + my journey to get there!
Today's video is really more of a "milestone" video for me, something to maybe look back on in a few years or so to remember where I started! But if you enjoy learning about KZbin content, let me know in the comments below if you'd like to occasionally see more videos like this.
