Really dig your takes and breakdowns on everything too, Paddy. Would love to hear more of your insights around breaking down the video structures of the people you profile. Learning how to be a better digital storyteller is sooo fascinating.
I started my channel in June 2020 and now I make way more money on UA-cam than any other job I’ve ever had! I’m also way happier with more autonomy too.
One thing that always blows my mind about adsense is that no two channels are the same. I had similar views to you last month but about half the adsense. Has a lot to do with watch time as well.
Fax like my plug channel with only 9.65k and 1.2 million views made 7k which makes no sense considering it’s in the gaming niche where they usually have $3 rpm. Somehow mine was around $8
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I've been following you two since the channel had fewer than 10k subscribers. Every single ounce of success is so incredibly deserved! I can't wait to see where y'all go.
I had heard of you guys once or twice before you doubled down on the "Creator Economy." Now I literally watch every new video of yours I see in my feed since I LOVE your take on this exact topic. And 95% of the time, your videos are in the top spot in my feed.
I started as a thumbnail designer and worked freelance over 4 years to try and tap into the industry and started working for bigger clients. Got into video editing as well and am now a project leader for the southern hemispheres largest talent management & production house. ps. the resources/ knowledge that you guys give out for free on the channel is mind boggling and has helped be get to where I am today in the industry. So thankyou!
I learn so much from every video you guys post. Every video is super engaging, full of high value information and the production is so well done. Super excited for your growth! Thank you for your work Colin & Samir - it's extremely valuable! Huge shoutout to every brand that is sponsoring you guys - they're definitely getting their money's worth.
ATTENTION: I skipped the whole video to 26:53 Cause that was the main point of the video! I mean ur Thumbnail was so much clickbaite! cause u didn't value ur viewers till 26:53! so don't do that again! even for the money side cause at the End of the day Viewers Retention is everything and if it decreases, u will be ended up broke on UA-cam! no more Sponsoring or Brand Deals if the Brand act smart! - be aware! like it if u wanna Colin & Samir see that & if u wanna can Colin & Samir make more money on UA-cam!
Congrats for the growth, Colin and Samir! 💛 It's amazing to think how far the creator economy has come over these past few years -- I'm still very new to this space since I only started last year, but I've been watching your guys' videos and I've learned so much. I'm from the Philippines and while the creator economy here is relatively new, it's exciting to think about the business possibilities that lie as this space continues to develop 📈
I am amazed at how must of just started making videos for fun and now were here like wow.. this can actually be a fuulll time job and more. I honestly did not know this could potentially become something serious. Love the videos guys!
I’m literally never going to do anything to be classified as a “creator”, but I am 100% just interested in this crazy part of our internet culture. Y’all do amazing work breaking down so many facets of being a creator and it’s so informative!
Please keep it up! i remember a couple years ago on youtube when it was so taboo for creators to discuss exactly how much they made off youtube. For many business minded people, who also love youtube, this info is an absolute gold mind. i love it
Feels like Colin and Samir would be great guys to go on a road trip with. Edit: by my math it looks like Colin and Samir have averaged something like a $2.43 RPM over the years. That means if they want to make, say, $100k per year and the rate remains the same they would need about 41.2 million views.
I joined the creator economy in Jan 2021 and I can't believe I let my fear of being in front of the camera hold me back until now... So happy to be here!
12:20 - 14:39 Such a valid point. The benefit of the UA-cam Algorithm now, is basically understanding a viewers' schedule and calculating what to recommend at certain times of the day based on the user's behaviour. That's how I discovered this channel, UA-cam knew I usually enjoy my lunch watching channels that broadcast similar content to Colin and Samir. When other channels dropped their consistency on uploading content around that time. UA-cam made way for this amazing channel. I just love how you broke the system down and explained how a channel grows from the perspective of UA-cam's marketing and tactics.
@@nelufixak3314 You don’t have to be verified on UA-cam to make money, you just have to have 4,000 watch hours in the past year and 1,000 subscribers. It also helps that I make financial content because that has a high “CPM” (the amount if money paid per 1,000 views).
As someone who’s incredibly uneducated on Adsense and the UA-cam algorithm in general, I’m really glad I’ve found this channel recently! Keep up the great work guys
As usual great episode... Jeff Wittek started his patreon membership since most of his videos are age-restricted by youtube. He gained over 24000 patrons in a day... You guys should have him on your show.
31million views here..... not even $10k (lifetime) youtube HATES my content even tho I used to get MILLIONS of views so because of youtube discriminating my content I gave up on this platform.
We are based in India and manage a UA-cam channel, which has received 15 million views till now. UA-cam has paid us around $690 for 15m total views. Its crazy how these rates are so different in USA and India.
Any other total nerds out there like me who went *scoff* it was WoW, not DnD. DnD doesn't have guilds. Also love the content! This video was really well edited!
Yo Gents, love the channel, been following it for quite some time now, the new look and style is great. As I embark on my own youtube journey, your channel has been super helpful. I keep learning more and more about what to do and what not to do.
A couple of things. Firstly you guys have become my favourite youtube channel after discovering you guys just last month! Secondly I saw a video on your second channel on how creators can give their worth per video to Sponsors, I would love your view on HOW to get sponsors? And finally I didnt find any differences between the intro and the outro 😭
I'm so excited to check inon this video in 2022 when you hit your million sub play button. I watch a lot of videos on this platform. I guarantee you will see way more success than you are currently experiencing.
*My Guess* If you have 14M view and most of long format videos with a audience interested about youtube business. I think your RPM is around $2 than Its near 28k - 30k dollars of ad revenue for 14M views. And In total from all other source this channel helped you make around 50k dollars I think RPM of tech creators like MKBHD will be highest on youtube. Can you make video about video category vise earnings ? Thanks 😊👍
Watching this a year later, I realise how much your videos have improved. This video took 6 minutes to get started and contains wayyyyy too much fluff. Whereas now you guys begin with a teaser and jump right into the narrative - keeping it engaging the whole way through.
On the topic of journalists leaving traditional networks to start their own niche newsletters, communities, or publications of their own, that’s actually a huge thing for independent journalists right now. I spoke to the founder of Punchbowl News, Jake Sherman, and he said people are much more interested in the specialized newsletter than the entire daily newspaper these days, and it’s created a huge opportunity for independent journalists to get their foot in the door without a large publication, or for more established journalists to leverage their audience to make more money. You guys are jumping into that industry with Public Projects, and I think it’s genius (19:05)
The relationship between creator and their audience absolutely can be commoditized. All the merch and courses are commodities creators present to their communities.
35 thousand is my guess cause I remember Elliott’s video about his 90k video you had around half as many views and your audience is also a little more focused than his, anyone could have really watched his video yours is more people interested in what the video was about plus your fans (like me) so around 30-35k would make sense to me
I’m just gonna say it, you guys are awesome. Your humour, knowledge, insight, everything. Always such a joy to sit through these videos as a creator myself. Keep it coming! Oh and my guess is $20,000? Let’s see if it close 👀
I feel bad that I will be the only one commenting without the verification icon. Lol. I just found your channel yesterday and now I'm sucked in. Big up
You guys should get @linustechtips on here, a massive company all on UA-cam, 8 channels, lots of employees. It would be very interesting to see you both talk to him. Thoughts?
What are your thoughts on a nature streaming channel? I've got a great location for this and plentiful birds, deer, rabbit, squirrel etc. On these sites are people getting paid mostly in youtube revenue or other? My thoughts were ad revenue, affiliate links, sponsored products and maybe even a patreon for donations to supply bird food etc.
Another awesome video guys! Pretty crazy how you've made ~1/6 of your total UA-cam income (directly from UA-cam) last month! Keep it up, it's only going to keep growing 👊🏼
Will this amount be the same for a creator who doesn't provide the same value as you do? Lik, I have heard, financial pages get the most ad sense. What about a gamer or entertainment youtubers?
You should do a video interview with ASMR Winkeyy and his dad. Intresting to see a new topic coming in demand in a gig. And then a creator suddenly carving a community in a topic that already seemed cemented
yo what is happening! I'm not even 6 minutes into the video and the chemistry is through the roof haha, it's weird that there's some type of humour involved and I absolutely love it.. "🙌"...
A shout out to Colin & Samir- I have 6M subs and 1B views, and I watch them religiously. I learn something new every time.
didnt expect u there...u can see unexpected ppl in unexpected places..even online//
Thanks Jordan
damn, big youtubers on here too .
@Colin and Samir FAKE PROFILE
@@metalbroga literally both The Colin and Samir comment and the Jordan Matter comment are not fake lmao
I’m not 100% sure why, but I think this is the best video you’ve uploaded. I just love hearing you guys riff about the big picture with UA-cam.

That's amazing congrats Nick
Hey Nick, you just got a new follower! ;)
You mind telling us how much that is?
It’s amazing how powerful and packed full of info these videos are!
One thing that always blows my mind about adsense is that no two channels are the same. I had similar views to you last month but about half the adsense. Has a lot to do with watch time as well.
Yea that’s the thing with UA-cam you need to have videos that certain advertisers want to support
@@ryanlentz5974 it's also the nature of their content. A podcast could have 5-6 ads
I think also depends on the niche and what companies are willing to dump money on your channel for their ads to run..
Oh chef, you are here, interesting topic eh? Hahaha
Fax like my plug channel with only 9.65k and 1.2 million views made 7k which makes no sense considering it’s in the gaming niche where they usually have $3 rpm. Somehow mine was around $8
This channel f**king deserves so much of attention ,they make it so easy to understand
they should be at the top their category, they have a likable sense of humor
