Was this more or less money than you expected? Comment below! 🤠
That is an amazing amount of money to make your 1st month!! Congrats girl & keep it going please! Happy I found your channel 👍🏼💞✨
Yes
I really didn’t know how much newly monetized youtubers make, so thank you 😊
This is the exact info I was searching google for today 😂
Oh I thought you’re going to make a whole lot more money
Monetizing a video about how much she makes, Graham Stephan would be proud.
Infinite monetization loop 😎
Didn't he post links to your channel? Where are all the subs?! Well I am doing my part, LIKE button, Sub, and Notification Bell - SMASHED!
@@kbcoggin that’s how I found this channel. I’m not huge on upcycling clothing but I love a well framed and edited video about stuff!
Why not! Her channel has grown super fast! keep up the hard work!!
I did like that, thanks for actually telling "how much you made", something MOST people are either reluctant to disclose, or just too lazy to say it.
Transparency and honesty will get you places girl; keep the discipline level high!
Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed :)
Commenting for the algorithm, nice video Taylor!
WOOT WOOT thank you Renan! 🎉
Here too
I love this because she’s so open. I’ve been binge watching all of her videos. Getting ready to graduate business school and trying to figure out where to go. Taylor you’re amazing and I love you
Taylor explained this so complete , so clear ,better then I have heard before , inspiring !
Ooooh I love UA-cam stat videos! 😄 Congrats on an amazing first month Taylor!! It’s all up from here. I love the effort you put into each video, they are super fun to watch.
Thank you so much Macy!! I also love UA-cam stat videos hehe so figured I’d make one too 😎 and aww thank you, the same goes for you!! ❤️
“You naughty little thing YOU”😅😜😂😂😂
Thank you for the video! I love seeing what smaller UA-camrs make so I can actually see something more relatable to where I am at 🙌🏼
HAHAH you're so naughty!! And of coursee, I also love watching videos like this hehe so I figured I'd make one too 😊
Woohoo!! Taylor, don't forget this is just the beginning! :-) Keep it growing and hit that next target! Next stop... $500... then $1,000... then $2,000... then $5,000!! You already got through the first step... which, let's be honest... can sometimes the hardest! Great job!! Keep it going!! (It was less than I expected for you... but still great!)
Yesss of course! Definitely will still be trying my hardest to grow-- making any amount is so exciting 😊 And yep I agree just starting is the hardest part. Thanks for watching Tony!!
I love the how open you are with so called "sensitive" issues like money. Thanks Taylor
Of courseee! Thank you for watching :)
dude these stats are so good for your first monetized month I can't wait to see where you get in a year.
Aw thank youuuu ahah yeah you can see how surprised I was to make $7 on my first day 😂
Really helpful, informative video Taylor. Great job and we appreciate the time and effort you put into it to ensure the quality ☺️👍🏼
Thank you so much Melanie!!! I appreciate that so much 😊💜
Congrats Taylor! That’s really exciting! It’s definitely not life changing (yet 😉) but any amount for doing something you enjoy makes it extra worthwhile 🙂
Aw thank you so much Alex!! And YESSS exactly my thought-- it's so cool to be making ANY amount of money, even if it doesn't pay ALL the bills ahah 😊
I love these kinds of videos, they’re so motivating as I’m starting my UA-cam journey. Thanks for sharing! Also love your sense of humor
This is awesome - thanks so much for sharing. Just been monetised recently and am so interested to see how other small you tubers have found it. Also LOVE your energy and can totally see why you're smashing it on here. SUBSCRIBED 😁 Keep it up 💚
Aw thank you so much for the nice words!! Congrats to you too, that’s exciting 🎉😊
Congratulations on such an amazing achievement, can't wait to see your channel grow even bigger. ❤
omg yay!! so cool seeing you on this monetization journey while still prioritizing your enjoyment for making content. i support!
Aw thank you Grace!!! You're sweet. I feel like prioritizing the enjoyment is the only way to make it a sustainable thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Unless you're making boat loads of money doing it I guess 😂 Ahaha thanks so much for the support! 💜
Congratulations on getting monetized! You are so much fun to watch, I’m sure you are going to keep growing at lightning speed! (It was actually more than I thought!) Thank you for sharing your numbers!
Aw thanks so much girl!! Appreciate it. So glad you had fun watching this 🎉
Thank you for sharing. It's nice to see how other folks do that very first month. I got monetized close to the same time you did, and it just so happened I had a video pop at the same time. I was blown away that my first day was over $90!!!! I finished December (2 weeks monetized) with over $3,400 in AdSense revenue. It's truly crazy what can happen in UA-cam land!!!
Of course, happy to share! And WOW that is seriously impressive!!!! I'm hoping to have a video really pop like yours did one of these days 😱That's craaaazy though, good for you and congrats on all the YT success!! 🎉
@@TaylorBell As my dad says, "Keep throwing darts until something sticks!!" Trust me when I say, it will be a video that you wouldn't expect that takes off.
I think it's so cool to earn any amount like this from UA-cam, it's super exciting in the beginning! It will be fun to see how this grows and when you make the "what I made in 2021 from UA-cam" video 😃 Glad to hear it only took you a couple of days to actually get monetized once you applied. I'm super close to hitting that threshold, about 500 hours away, hopefully, they approve me as quickly as they did you!
I couldn't agree more, it's soooo cool to be making anything!! And yess it was a quick process. It was even quicker for my other friends on UA-cam, mine took an extra day or so becasue I applied right before a weekend 😂 Haha you got this!! You're almost there!! 🎉 Best of luck
Congratulations Taylor. That’s amazing, thanks for sharing!
For any small UA-camr not yet monetized and not yet to 1000 subscribers yet like me who is watching here, dont give up keep pushing its evident from here that it will get better with consistency. Lets keep going there is light at the end of the tunnel.Congrats🎉
Thank you for sharing with us Taylor! Definitely helpful to shape expectations for people who are new to UA-cam, and it would be cool to see how you grow at different milestones (if, of course, you want to share)!
Aww of courseee, thank you for watching!! And YES totally agree I would love to make future videos like this one to share milestones!! 😊 I love watching vids like that so I'm happy to make my own hehe :)
It's initially more than I would have thought for your first month. But after watching the video in it's entirety, I'm not surprised. This is an exceptionally well edited video. So, I would think you already had really good engagement prior to being monetized. Hopefully it's grown for you exponentially.
you deserve every iota of success/money you earn---- you put a lot of great energy into *every* video. Love you channel and wishing you continued success!
I’m sure eventually after 6 months or so, you will be making more money and you will do UA-cam full time... congrats!!
That would be insanely cool ahah will def try my hardest to grow 😎 Thanks so much for watching!!
From my experience of watching other people getting monetized (I enjoy watching other people talk about money and earnings a lot lol) I'm sure your YT revenue will grow a lot this year!! 🙌🏼
I really like that you go through the days. I’ve not seen a video where they do that before 😊 you’re definitely making more than I thought! Go you!!
Thank you so much, so glad you liked that!! 😊 And aw thanks, I'm up to $600+ per month now 😱 Will have to make an update video if I hit 1,000! 🎉
Thanks for being so transparent! You have grown alot since Dec 7!
Of coursee! Yess I have, it's so cool to see 😊 Thanks so much !!
Omg Taylor!!!!! Congratulations! This is awesome!!! You’re on your way to 1 million!
Aw thank you so muchh Silvia!! Ahh one day I hope!! 😊 💜
Thank you for sharing that information. I'm a small UA-camr myself and seeing videos like these motivates me to keep hustling. Wish you the best 👍
Of course, happy to share!! I'm so glad you found it motivational-- I also love watching vids like this so I figured I'd make one myself! ahaha best of luck to you in all your endeavors, you got this! 🎉
I love your videos Taylor. Your personality is really amazing and you make your videos very entertaining. Keep up the great job, hopefully you hit the $500 goal soon 🤩
Thank you so much Michael!! That's so nice of you to say :) Very happy you find them entertaining, that's my goal!! Ahaha thank youuu thank you
Saw you on Grahamäs podcast and loved your charisma! Hope your channel grows and keep it up!
Aw thank you John!! I appreciate that so much!! 😊 I'll keep it up 😎
This video needs to get pushed by the almighty UA-cam algorithm! You break it down so well 😍
Thanks so much girl!! I sure hope so 😎 lol almighty algorithm do your thing!! Hahah thank you so much for watching though, so glad you enjoyed 💜
Nice video, can’t wait for this, congratulations!
Thank you so much!! And you got this 🎉 !!
It can pay for books, it's always nice to have new books on the shelf, lol. Thanks for the video.
This was so helpful!! Especially as a fellow reseller on UA-cam, because I am trying to figure out exactly what to expect in the future if I want to be monetized :) Such a great video Taylor!
Aw I'm soo glad you found it helpful!! Keep at it, you're almost there!! 🎉 💜 Thanks sm for watching
@@TaylorBell i will! Your inspiring!! You keep going too this is our year and everyone in the comments year as well!!
Im becoming obsessed with your videos!!
As always, Great video Taylor!! I smashed that like button for the youtube algorithm!! Lol :) As a supporter, I am so happy for you. I hope your channel grows huge.
WOOHOO Thank you as always Daniel!! Happy to see ya here 🎉 😊 and thank youuu I’ll work my hardest to make it happen!
I’ve been wanting to catch up on all your videos for awhile now - and can’t wait to view them all (as a lifelong NY’er) - but from what you said in this video, you’ve come a long way In subscribers and revenue! You must be pretty happy I assume in the growth of your channel.
Don't blame you for not quitting your job, but very happy your still going to do videos! Besides I still think you're channel grow! Definitely glad you made this video gives me idea how it works. Looking to your next entertaining video! 😎
Aw thanks Anthony!! Yes I'm still going to try to grow the best that I can for sure, would be cool to see this number multiply 😎 Ahaha thanks as always for watching
YAY ! for those beautiful words “Passive Income” ! Congratulations, Taylor! 🎉🥂💸
Aw thank you Janyne!! YESS we love passive income 👏 Ahaha thanks so much for watching 💜
Congrats on your first paycheck! 🥳 P.S. Came from Graham, but staying for your stuff! Keep it up.
Thank you so much!! 🎉 Appreciate the support! 😊

Came from Graham, love the finance. I hope you keep going and keep enjoying! Don't let anyone take your creative freedom.
Thank you so much for watching!! And yess will do, thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing Taylor!
This is extremely motivational. I just got started on March 21st and already have 7 videos out!
I wish everyone reading this success on UA-cam or otherwise!
Thank you so much!! It’s almost $700/month now if that’s any extra motivation 🤑😂 haha keep it up!! You got this
@@TaylorBell I'll reach out once I hit 1k!
So cool how honest and open you speak about this topic. In Germany most of the people don't speak about anything including money and especially how much money one another has.
I think it's easier to get to the point where you make money with UA-cam if you're English because most of the people from everywhere understand English. But if you're trying to do videos in English while you're from a different country you've got an accent or you're just not good enough. In my opinion many people would not watch these videos because they don't like the way you speak.
I am very impressed- you’re doing great! Thank you for sharing- I appreciate seeing what others in my niche make per month.
Aw thanks so much Chelsea!! Yess agreed, I find it so interesting to see what others who have similar content make. Monetization coming sooo soon for your channel, I'm so excited for you!! 💜
Just amazing how you can grow while you love what you're doing! Keep going Taylor! :))
Aw yess!! Thank you so much 😊
This is so exciting! You are such an inpiration!
Aww thanks so much Ellie!! You're sweet 💜 😊 So glad you enjoyed this!!
I saw you on Grahams podcast. Just got recommended your channel and you got a new subscribler! I am jealous of all the books btw!
Helloo! Aw so happy I was suggested and thank you so much for subscribing 😊😊 and ahaha thank youu, they’re my parents’ :)
First time watching. I learned a lot. Love this video. Now I know what to kind of expect as I start my journey. Thanks!
Thank you soo much! Glad it was helpful 😊
Almost $200 is great for your first month of being monetized. Looking forward to seeing your channel grow!
Yess thank you so much! I'm super happy with it 🎉 And thank youuu thank you
That was really informative, thank youu✨
Yasssss get it girllll 😍💁♀️🎉 loved seeing the stegosaurus chart 🤓 youll be to 500 a month in no time! I agree for now it’s smart to stick with the full time gig while still growing the side hustles 🥰 but gotta love that passive income now 💁♀️ thanks for sharing your first month!!! Do you think you’ll give updates as you grow? 🥰
HAHA thank youuuu Brittani!! Glad you appreciate the nice dinosaur insertion. Definitely loving the passive income now, it's so cool to be making any amount at all 😅 I feel like getting more videos out over time will help too, to get a higher average amount of views per day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idk, it's fun to think about 😊 I definitely want to share more updates as time goes on, this was a lot of fun to make!! Thanks so much for watching girly, you're the best 🎉 💜
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. This video will take offf!! 🚀
Of coursee, had a fun time making this one 😊 I hope so!! 😎 Lol thanks for watching Ryan
This was really interesting to hear about! I happen to be watching this about a year later and I think it would be neat to see how a year has made your channel and UA-cam income grow.
Thanks so much! Will def put out an update video at some point 😊
Amazing video! Really good work. To all those small channels out there I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Aw thank you so much!!
@@TaylorBell Ah No problem at all! You really helped me gain some confidence to start my channel :)

thank you sooo much, that makes me so happy to hear :') I try to keep them fun and lighthearted but also valuable.. so glad you enjoy watching 😊
Really helpful! Thank you! I am a small youtuber so I appreciate this video a lot!!
Yayyy I’m so glad! Best of luck 🎉😊
I appreciate you blurring the numbers at first, so many of these videos are so anticlimactic with that lol. You're killing it, good luck for the future
Ahahah thank youuu 😂 and you too!!
Congratulations ❤️❤️

Big congrats!
Thank you Jack!! 🎉
Way to go! The consistency of earnings on the revenue chart is wild.
Thank you so much!! 😊 Hahah yup like a consistent stegosaurs
@@TaylorBell and forever it shall be known as... stegosaurus charting
That's great for your first month! Congrats!
Aw thank you so much!! I'm super happy with it 😊 Really cool to be making any money at all haha thanks so much for watching!
So cool! I watched the ads to bring you more revenue! Keep on bringing the videos!
Aw you're so sweet for doing that, thank you so much!! 💜 Moreee vids to come! Every Tuesday seems to be my new schedule 😊
I also enjoy hearing the tea from creators!
Yesss same here! 😎
That is a good amount for 1st month of monetization! I'm not monetized yet but that's something that cheers me up!
congrats! That's really awesome and inspiring to see
Thanks Frank!!! Yep I'm still pretty excited about it hehe 😊
I would love to see where you are in 6 months from when you started because I feel like you've been growing like crazy!
Yess will definitely make an update video!! 😊 Have had some nice growth since this vid hehe
Congratulations! Fantastic content with a valuable information!
Thank you so much!!
definitely need a part 2 for Jan.-Feb. see if that rpm rate stays or if it was due to the christmas time ad rates. I hope it stays!
Ahh that’s a good point! I checked form Jan 7 through Feb 7- you’re right! The RPM did go down a little bit, but not too much luckily! Will be interesting to see how it changes throughout the rest of the year 😊
You're so funny. Loving your videos. Such a positive attitude. :)
Aw thanks John!! 😊 Appreciate that
Never thought UA-cam working that way.thank for sharing your experience being monoteized.
Thanks for the very helpful Video! I was already considering giving up on my channel but now I know I just need to keep going!
Aw of course!! That makes me happy, you got this 👊🏼
Here from Graham's podcast. Keep it up!
Welcome! Thank youu 😊
UA-cam is also a great way to earn income I think and ahh great video Taylor
Great job! I should be monetized in a couple months or so - still have no idea where or what I'm doing ha. But great to see you growing and learning as well. Keep it going !!
Thanks so much Josh!! Haha well at least you've started, that's more than most people can say 😎 You got this!! 🎉
Motivation right here 🙏🏽
💪🏼 love to hear it
I actually think thats a great first month I was expecting less. You make great videos and love your personality. I really enjoy waiting for your once a week video Blue yeti is a great mic I got one for my birthday. Also at the end where you said it can't cover groceries, damnnnn how much do you spend on food. for me, my partner and our two kids we spend £150 a month on food.
Aw thank you so much!! That makes me so happy to hear 😊 So glad you're enoying. And yesss I'm also loving the Blue Yeti. Wow that is remarkably low! I pay $0 for groceries since I'm living at home right now, but the average Los Angelino pays $375/month on groceries. Lucky for me though, my work will pay for most of my food when the time comes 🎉
This was so interesting! I also thought the earnings would be less for the first months, like a few cents per day as you said, but this is awesome! 👏🏽👏🏽 By the way, love your personality, you seem like such a fun and lovely person! 🤗
Thanks so much Milla!! YES I was so pleasantly surprised to be making over $1 per day 😱 Aw you're so sweet, thanks so much girl!! You too 💜 I just checked out your channel. My boyfriend is from Stockholm but he's half Finnish hehe I've been to Stockholm quite a bit but have only flown through Helsinki-- I'm excited to explore Finland more one day once travel is more acceptable again 😊
@@TaylorBell oh wow that's awesome! The world is so small haha! Welcome to Finland once traveling is easier again 🙌🏼🤩
More than I expected. Hope you keep making the UA-cam’s if it is something you enjoy. Also, didn’t see the stegosaurus coming 😂.
Nice!! 😊 Thank you so much, I definitely will keep it up! I have so much fun doing it. And lol ya I tried to deliver that in a dry unexpected way 😂
