Introduction

Welcome back to my channel! Today, I'm going to answer one of the most frequently asked questions I get: "How much money do I earn on YouTube?" A lot of people want to know this, including friends, acquaintances, and even strangers who email or DM me. Honestly, I'm not making that much. Even with 10,000 subscribers, people's assumption that having 5,000 or more subscribers means you're rich enough to afford luxury items is entirely false.

One reason I'm making this video is to clear up these misconceptions. Initially, I didn't plan to, but since I received my YouTube paycheck today, it seemed like a good opportunity to explain. Making money from YouTube isn't automatic, and treating it purely as a money-making venture can make it difficult to recuperate your investment. Personally, I see this as a hobby with a bit of extra income on the side—not a guaranteed income source.

My YouTube Journey

I started my channel in June 2016 and began monetizing my videos in August 2016, following the idea that I needed at least 1,000 subscribers. My first earnings in September 2016, a month after enabling ads, were around $ 4. This is far from enough to withdraw, as Google AdSense has a $ 100 minimum threshold.

After a year, in August 2017, I could finally withdraw my first paycheck of $ 208.56 (around 10,000 pesos), which took me a year to collect. That money was used to treat myself to a luxurious day out—an uncommon but much-needed break for me.

As of April 2018, I've earned another $ 110, making my total YouTube earnings just over 200 dollars within several months. Given my upcoming trip to LA, this amount will precisely cover my travel expenses. So, thank you to all who watch my videos and the ads, as they collectively contribute to these earnings.

Managing Misconceptions

I'm not trying to brag but merely aim to answer common questions about how much small YouTubers earn. I want to clarify that having ads on videos doesn't mean greed but is a way for content creators to earn a passive income while doing what they love.

For new content creators, I recommend enabling ads. It won't make you rich immediately—you only earn significant amounts from ads viewed by people in high-paying regions—but it does add up over time.

In summary, you won't become rich solely from YouTube unless you're a big-time YouTuber, but it's a valuable source of extra income and support for your hobbies and occasional luxuries.

Thank you for watching, and see you in my next video!
