@@ecom-sensei It sure is! Haven't even posted in awhile and still getting about 200 bucks? Hoping to get back to my schedule and get it back up soon tho!
Awesome video. I am small UA-camr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Fame- ster, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).
Also there was SO MUCH great material from the other creators--I wish I could have included it all but this would have been an hour long. 😂 It DOES make me want to commit to my goal of making a video podcast though to have more of these conversations... what do we think? 👀
This was so great! Our roads to monetization feel so similar. So often we’re feeling so discouraged by the lack of views but it just takes that one for people to start seeing what you have to offer. Congrats on getting monetized and keep up the great content!!!❤
Thank you so much!! And yesss it’s so cliche but so many people quit RIGHT BEFORE what could be the video that push them towards monetization 🙏🏽 thank you for watching and being here!’
I am so glad, thank you!!! And my pleasure--I feel like it's such an important piece of the pie and varies so much from person to person, should have asked the others. 👀😂
That's honestly amazing achievement, and thanks for providing your insight. Getting that first paycheck from UA-cam 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.
Thank you so much!! And I love that--it really does feel like SUCH a build up to that paycheck no matter how long or short of time it takes to get there!!
Honestly this is the first time I've watched this kind of UA-cam what-did-I-earn video! My own creation journey is so far away from it that it's just not been something on my radar. But I've come across your videos and really love your style and your perspective and the positive, soothing energy that you bring to your advice. Thank you so much for all of this!
Ah I'm so glad!! I really wanted to creators across a variety of niches too in the hopes of increasing the likelihood of having a story resonate with someone 💜
The requirement to become monetize is one reason why creators get bumped attempting to reach the goal. I believe that is why UA-cam created the 500 sub program. It took me a bit of time to get monetized. I started getting serious about 2022. I was not monetized until 2023. My channel has improved when I started putting more focus on UA-cam and less on my IG.
oh I so hear you on this!! Things really shifted for me when I started to take an 'all in' approach on UA-cam and dropped a bit of my IG focus.. which isn't the best for me because IG is where my money's at currently. 😂
Ive been making content since the beginning of Covid- UA-cam was always something I had,I uploaded my shorts daily- not even thinking about revenue but more of growing my subscribers, I was doing a lot of TikTok and instagram. this year, one of my shorts that I made 3 years ago blew up, it was crazy and I am now 2 million short views away from getting monetized. I am so excited, watching your video has inspired me- I love your transparency! and this is out of subject but you are GORGEOUS OMG.
Ah you are so kind!! Thank you for the kind words--It sounds like you are well on your way--congrats for being so close on the shorts views, it's such a huge feat so you are KILLING IT! Checked out some of your videos--you are HILARIOUS. 😂🙏🏽 Excited for your journey!
Thanks ❤ great encouragement. I’ve been on here for about a year now and gotten near to nowhere 😅 so it’s nice to see a creator say that it took two years to monetise. It gives me hope 🙏
My absolute pleasure!’ Honestly I know it takes some people even more 😂 but it’s such a rewarding journey, just need to be really aware of your content, who you’re serving, and look at how you can maybe broaden your reach!
Awesome video! I just love your vibe! It took me 1 year to get monetized posting once a week and took 2 months off that year bc life lol.... first month I got monetized I got my first pay cheque .. a little over $100 CAN. I also have a super hard niche... homeschooling
I’m so glad! It’s been a long time goal of mine too. Collaborate a bit more with other creators and also highlight other people’s stories, so I’m glad I was able to do so here! 💜
it was such a fun coincidence that they were all Canadian! I put out a call on my stories and most had volunteered from there! Yassss you got this--enjoy the journey!
Beautiful and enlightening video, loved the fact you didn't talk just about your journey but bring other creators too, I've thinking about creating a channel and I never did before because I knew as soon as you get in you will have the necessity to keep going, I'll do it, but finally I could cut out the thought of making money from it in the first year hahahaha
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment!! It's funny, I was talking to a friend about how freeing it was to hear that adsense isn't most people's main income source--even those who have been at it for ages, it allows you to just start creating without that pressure or expectation!
Wow this is so encouraging as a person who started a UA-cam channel last year March and I am still at 86 subscribers. I get encouraged so much by this because I have found out that growing a channel is hard. But giving up is not an option. Congrats you have motivated me
Wow I’m so glad this popped up for you!!UA-cam is SUCH a fun and rewarding beast but it’s QUITE a journey-though definitely one I would recommend diving into!
Thanks so much ❤ i love your sound quality, would you tell me what mic you are using please? My sound is awful with background washing macines and dogs and kids music etc. 🤣
Haha I hear you!!! 😂 I just bought this one: amzn.to/3TyfEmZ I talk about it and show some tests in this video too: ua-cam.com/video/JO1KL3ID5Sg/v-deo.html
I don't understand why you still do not have a silver button behind you??? Absolutely loved the personality, beautiful smile, and positive energy! Content and montage are also really on the top level! Subscribing to the channel, to speed up your next video "My journey to 100k" ❤💕
Ahhh you are absolutely melting my heart you are too kind! 🥹🙏🏽 the journey has been amazing so far-fingers crossed I can hit 10 soon 🤞🏽 but also just being happy with the community I have! 💛
The way you talk and communicate your experience and talk so softy and smoothly in this video is so valuable and contagious. You got a subscriber from me :) I'm trying to develop my sons kids UA-cam channel, I'm only 3months in and hit my watch hours with flying colors...but to get kids to hit subscribe has been the most difficult...most watch from the TV screen too. but I love knowing what to expect next. thanks for this video.
Thank you so much for your kind words--glad this was valuable! Ooh I can definitely imagine getting the subs would be difficult on kids channels--but cool that you got those hours in!!
Kaya! I'm only 10 seconds into this video so I have no idea of the contents yet... but I just want to say how amazing I think your channel and its topics are. I am a full-time influencer myself (having recently gained over 100k followers on instagram).. but it has been a HARD journey to get here. I was making little to no money last year and I wouldn't have been able to survive if my parents weren't so supportive. I'm working on branching out to UA-cam doing similar content to yours because as you say, transparency in the influencer space is super hard to come by. All this rambling does have a question attached to it haha... do you ever worry that creating this kind of content (talking mainly about your other videos e.g. 'saying no as an influencer') will 'turn off' brands from wanting to work with you? - I know logically that the answer is no, and of course as long as the content is respectful and informative there is no issue. But I'd just love to hear your take on this if you have one! Thank you!
Oooh thank you for the kind words, and such a great question!! it has worried me, but it’s so funny, a lot of people at the brands I work with follow my content here and bring it up often in a complimentary way. I think it was important though for this to still be a separate brand-like a different account and name from where I do most of my deals as to not mix up and dilute my audience-and I think it’s important that in the transparency I am always respectful and also I try to still acknowledge the brand’s side as I educate, I emphasize that this is a partnership with them, we shouldn’t be trying to exploit them just because we think our worth is one thing-so I think that nuance helps maintain that respect. I mean statistically it has provably turned off SOME brands out there, but then it wasn’t aligned. Also congrats for breaking 100k that is AMAZING! And looking forward to seeing what you do next.
I loved this video. As someone who is trying to grow a channel these days, in this video I found answers for some questions that I have been asking myself lately ❤ thank you...
My advice, if you are new and not yet monetized, you can get a lot of hours making music videos, too. Millions of people listen to and watch music on UA-cam. Yes, copyrighted music. It doesn't matter anyway. You are not monetized yet. Just gather all those hours.
You did great for your first month! But also agree, that living solely off of AdSense is not most folks reality. Thanks for sharing and being so transparent Kaya!
Thank youuu and my pleasure 💜🙏🏽 yess I think there’s a lot of assumptions about Adsense that sets people up for disappointment. It’s just the starting line of the journey not the finish!
Ha! You are right, I have watched so many of these types of videos but this, THIS video by far, is the best one I have seen. Very well done!! I am a new channel (actually making an effort at making a channel), I have the watch hours already but just over 500 subscribers. It is always nice to hear other peoples journey. Thanks!
I am SO SO honoured by that, glad you enjoyed it!! Also major congrats on landing the watch hours--for most, that's the hardest part so you are well on your way! Excited for your journey!
I'm on the journey to 500 right now then next goal 1K hopefully I don't give up I love editing videos and creating so wish me luck. This was great insight
I'm glad it was insightful! Keep at it, keeping studying what works and keep improving the craft. Honestly despite now being monetized I think it's still an ongoing journey with a LOT of rises and falls.
Congratulations! I’m still working on this channel. My other channel is monetized and I made $99 the first month smh. So I wasn’t paid the first month because I didn’t hit the $100 threshold.
Thank you!! And that's so exciting--I have a second channel I've neglected that isn't even close to monetizing, but am considering dusting it off.. or starting yet another one. 😂 and $99?! UA-cam is playing, why couldn't they have just pushed an extra dollar your way?
I have another channel and once monetized my first 30 days I made $6,730.25, I got 1.4 million views. This was May 2020. 100% not normal & yes, I could totally live off of that and one of my highest income months (just Adsense) I made close to $10,000 … wild times
@@CreatingwithKaya you’ll be there in no time! Especially once you add digital products (game changer more reliable too) in the mix. Keep dreaming, it will happen very soon! :)
@@belle-perjuste ahh haha yes to be fair I have hit months like that in brand deals-but would be so cool to see it from Adsense!! I gotta get my butt back on digital products tho 👀🫡
@@nevonthedaily Oh I'm obsessed with it! I talk about it in this video too: ua-cam.com/video/JO1KL3ID5Sg/v-deo.html Here it is on amazon if you're interested: amzn.to/3PHa8gH
Only the 2nd one. I'm making great money on my normal job and I have a very easy schedule. That being said....I always want to find new sources of income
MAJOR thanks to my creator community for helping out with this video-literally hadn’t even intended to make it completely Canadian-focused-that's just how the cookie crumbled, and I think it's pretty cool. 🇨🇦
Transparency often feels hard to come by in this space, and I'm beyond grateful for their openness and help. All of their content is SO unique and SO good--definitely pay them a visit.
is your channel still monetised?
@@ecom-sensei It sure is! Haven't even posted in awhile and still getting about 200 bucks? Hoping to get back to my schedule and get it back up soon tho!

If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform.

Yessssss do it!!!
I’ve been wanting to for months as an extension of this channel 👀 have the podcast name and everything.
sounds great to me🙏
@@AlexAntonn okay noted 👀

I am so glad, thank you!!! And my pleasure--I feel like it's such an important piece of the pie and varies so much from person to person, should have asked the others. 👀😂
The fact that you know all these UA-cam is amazing! & I’m so glad you’re so transparent about everything so a person doesn’t go in blindly!
Really grateful for my community both virtual and irl!! And all I can do to demystify things a lil bit. 😂
Loved this sooo much!! Such an interesting topic and so happy to be included 💕

Glad you enjoyed it!!
Congratulations! I’m still working on this channel. My other channel is monetized and I made $99 the first month smh. So I wasn’t paid the first month because I didn’t hit the $100 threshold.
Thank you!! And that's so exciting--I have a second channel I've neglected that isn't even close to monetizing, but am considering dusting it off.. or starting yet another one. 😂 and $99?! UA-cam is playing, why couldn't they have just pushed an extra dollar your way?
Thank you for sharing

I have another channel and once monetized my first 30 days I made $6,730.25, I got 1.4 million views. This was May 2020. 100% not normal & yes, I could totally live off of that and one of my highest income months (just Adsense) I made close to $10,000 … wild times
That is SO COOL!! and SO CRAZY! Congratulations on that! I'm over here dreaming of numbers like that. 😂
@@CreatingwithKaya you’ll be there in no time! Especially once you add digital products (game changer more reliable too) in the mix. Keep dreaming, it will happen very soon! :)
@@belle-perjuste ahh haha yes to be fair I have hit months like that in brand deals-but would be so cool to see it from Adsense!! I gotta get my butt back on digital products tho 👀🫡
Amazing!! Im trying to reach my first payment too!:) 😻❤🙌
You can do it!! Wishing you the best of luck!
@ Thank you so much!!🙏🏻🌟
Thanks!🌻
Wow thank you so much! Hope my corner of the internet is useful for you 🙏🏽
Good stuff
Thank you 🙏🏽
BAHAHAHAH you really called me out for watching ever single ‘how much did youtube pay me’ video 💀😭
We are in this together. I think every UA-camr has been there. 🤣
@@CreatingwithKaya they’re honestly so fun and inspiring, it’s addicting 😭
They really are--it's such a rabbit hole 😂
I like your microphone
@@nevonthedaily Oh I'm obsessed with it! I talk about it in this video too: ua-cam.com/video/JO1KL3ID5Sg/v-deo.html
Here it is on amazon if you're interested: amzn.to/3PHa8gH
Only the 2nd one. I'm making great money on my normal job and I have a very easy schedule. That being said....I always want to find new sources of income
I love that! It's definitely a very fun source of income if you like the process of making videos!
Good video. Adsense is a joke unless you have a specific niche like the ones you mentioned. Also entertainer gossip channels do well
Thank you so much! Oh, that’s interesting to hear! It’s so interesting to learn how different niches tend to perform!
