- UA-cam paid me $7,678.66 for a 2.4 million view video. Today we are going to talk about why this video seems to have done well, go over the basic analytics, and lastly talk about how much of that money actually gets to my personal bank account because it's actually less than half.

It's so refreshing to add another person like you to my list of people I could listen to talk for hours on end and never get tired of it. Congrats on the success, been here since the grilled chicken sandwich video and have loved seeing your continued success.
loved the fact you straight out put the stats as soon as the video started.
You are a very good communicator. Clear, efficient, never redundant. The information you relay is on point, you don't go off on tangents and don't try to crowbar personality based antics into your videos like many other bad Foodie youtubers. That skill is good for presenting ANY subject matter. Your end of video summary of how a business works is "must see" youtube. 90% of the population fails to understand how a corporation works. They think many professionals who utilize them just pocket everything. I would suggest a video solely dedicated to this for your 2.4mil views! Elaborate on the risk in terms of hiring, paying everyone else first, liability, insurance, no employee benefits, employment insurance.... that everyone else who works for a corp may have and you have a winner.
Appreciate you being so transparent and providing great insight, Ethan! Always concise and to the point. Thanks for sharing dude!
Well said; The value you add to almost all of your videos is that you are concise, your charming personality shows though, your delivery, and you are confident. You come across as real and regardless of the situation you are well spoken. Thank you for adding value to UA-cam and so many lives.
Really appreciate these insightful contents, thanks for the upload Ethan!
My pleasure, I think this stuff is super interesting to talk about!
Thanks for the peek behind the curtain, Ethan! You answered a lot of the questions I was pondering about how the payment scheme works with YT.
Great video, I hope you make more of these. It's so rare to see UA-camrs being so transparent about their income/business things. :) Refreshing. :P
Not only do you have great cooking suggestions - you are a business smart! One idea - the sharpening spike might have corresponded with USA thanksgiving ... turkey carvers looking for help.
This is super cool to see and honestly helpful, thanks man!
Very insightful. Love the breakdown idea. Thanks for sharing!
Ethan, I've been following you for a while and I love your content! Specifically I love how well thought out your videos are and I've tried to adopt similar strategies in my own content creation on a different account. I always loved your short intro, "... a home cooking nerd..." thought it was a great concise way to introduce new people to your channel! I noticed that somewhat recently between the orzo and buffalo wings videos (yes... I found the specific point! :D) you stopped using that. I have some ideas as to why, but I'd love to hear your thought process behind it. Thanks for all your great content!
I would also love to see more content here on strategy and technique behind creating engaging content on UA-cam!
Truly appreciate you making these detailed videos with so much rich info! It makes the wild world of UA-cam feel less nuts :) THANK YOU!
Great vid Ethan! I find this incredibly interesting. Keep it up!
super interesting video! I’d be curious to get a one year update since you said you wanted to see how the tax year went. also you have way more subscribers now so i'm interested to see how that affected things
Straight to the point, nice.
Definitely add a link to the knife sharpening vid in the description ;P
Gonna disable the adblock for you real quick, completely forgot to do that - glad that I didn't start binging the main channel yet :)
Great video, I really appreciate the insight. From my part, I'll try to support you more by watching your videos on my phone where the ads aren't blocked.
Never going to use this information yet I still watched the whole video. You make learning fun! Well explained!
Thanks for sharing this and going so in-depth. I'm in the same youtube niche as you but still at the beginning and still small. So it's actually very hard to find youtube insights aimed for cooking creators. I'm still in fear that I'm doing something wrong with the SEO as i get very little views and I think my content should attract more.
PS: have your thought about mentoring? I'm always in awe of the quality and effort you put into your videos and I always try to pull inspiration from you.
You should promote this channel more frequently. This channel is for your hard-core followers. The ones that not only like your content but also your personality. Notification squad.
This is a very good explanation. Thanks for the insight.
Well deserved Ethan, it's been great seeing you blow up! No one puts out educational food content similar to yours and it's the closest thing to Alton Brown that I've found on youtube. Keep up the great work and give me a shout if you ever want some Middle Eastern cooking tips.
Also you're missing a 0 in the video title.
Much appreciated man, keep up the good work yourself!
@@ethanchlebowskimultiverse thanks Ethan!
Really enjoying the transparency and learning more about taxes and llc. I feel like many don't talk about that kind of stuff, business side of things.
Agreed, I had no idea of the financial details.
More of these dude!
Loved your breakdown of how you spend/ split you YT cheques. In love with the concept think I'm going to borrow this concept 1s I'm monetized. New Sub here
great video ethan! hope you make a follow up to the last video about revenue! especially interested in amazon affiliate and how that's been. glad you've been doing well!
I'll try to soon! I also realized during the filming of this that I should have mentioned affiliate link income for this video as a lot of people have bought whetstones because of it!
Interesting video dude, thanks.
Hey, I’ve been watching since 20K. I love your videos.
Great account separation. When I did consulting I used thirds. Salary a third. Taxes a third. And business a third. Yours looks great.
Thanks man, I’ve been wondering why my rpm went averaging to 11 a month to 6 the last couple of days, thought it was something I did
Yep, the new year typically brings lower ad rates!
“Randomly at the end of November…”
Thanksgiving, a day that will make you curse if you have to use dull knives to prep a big meal for a bunch of people. Sharpen them before the big day or after a day of frustrating meal prep. Either way people will look up how to do it.
Super insightful video. Does your health insurance costs come out of your business bucket or personal?
Worth noting ads get way more expensive during Q4 as big brands are ramping up holiday advertising. Cheers
I'd be interested in a video on how you record videos and how you plan them
Just lent something new. I always thought that cpm per video is fixed. I didn't know it can change. Interesting thank you for sharing 👌
Is there one video that seemed to be the overall catalyst for your channel's exponential growth spurt (was it this one?), or was it a confluence of videos, among other things? I've been grinding away for coming up on a year now just experimenting and trial-and-erroring my way through things. Just trying to make the best content I can on things that interest me since it seems like that's the best one can do. I often wonder how most people find their success; whether it may just be about something eventually hitting and just being ready to ride that wave. Love the videos (both channels). Keep up the awesome work!
There were about 5 or 6 videos that got pushed in late June / July of this year that got over 100k views which was massive for my channel at the time. A lot of those people watching were subscribed to similar channels so a lot of them subscribed to mine as well. There's no denying that part of youtube is just making a bunch of videos and through this you begin to stack the deck in your favor for one that pops off. I think Gary Vee says something like "you never know when the next piece of content is the one that makes it all worth it".
@@ethanchlebowskimultiverse So true! I'm sure we all naturally get better as we create more and over longer periods of time, and I'm also sure we've all got a video or few in our past that we think of as stinkers. I just want to be able to be proud of and stand behind as much of my content as possible since you never really know which piece may suddenly come to define you.
I came in because I am a Mexico fan. But you had so many great ideas and tips that I have stuck around. Congrats on the success! I am waiting for the tv show.
@@Vancouver_Dan I think the UA-cam videos /are/ the TV show. 😉
Can you do an update of this video with the same video you used? Would be cool to see over years.
Black friday ad revenue spike explaining the Nov27 bump? Wonder if it happened again this year for everyone trying to buy Whetstones? Great videos!
Hi Ethan. Have you ever thought about making videos on accounting? I for one would love your style of teaching mixed with the subject. Peace.
Pro tip - Use 'regardless' instead of 'irregardless'. Kicks your polish up a few notches.
He looks like Dave rubin's twin with red hair!
Sounds about right for youtube
He's not wearing black y'all! :)

When you said to sub if you like these type of videos I tried to... but already had.
stunning.
If I recall you are an accountant by schooling. I'm surprised you would go the profit first route to organize things. For a non-business person I can understand the need for doing that.
So how often does UA-cam pay out? Monthly, quarterly?
Monthly!
Probably people were accessing UA-cam around the holidays to learn to sharpen their carving knives.
I ended up buying a whetstone and I forgot why! Then a friend who envied my sharp knives also bought a whetstone. I wonder if Google is paying you enough? Food for thought. (Pun intended)
Haha I got premium, I don’t know why more people relatively don’t have it, I cant stand watching ads
Cool 😎 🆒️ 😎 🆒️ 😎 🆒️ 😎 🆒️ 😎 🆒️ 😎 🆒️ 😎 🆒️
No mention of quarantine/lockdowns and people cooking/entertaining themselves at home more? 🤔
If work I did 6 months ago made me even $5 without having to do anything I'd be a happy person.... I need to start a UA-cam channel lol.
Haha it's definitely a great spot to be in now, but it was about 1.5 years of making videos with no money first!
Thanks papa ethan
I have a blunt question to ask. What ethnicity are you?
I watched about 6 of your videos, old and new. And I'm like he's a red head but he doesn't really look white. He looks about a quarter black, maybe italian?? His last name is Jewish though right?
Screw it, I just have to ask.
Polish last name.
Was wondering what do you do for a living?😂
