Yes❤ Thank you!
Hi cel, where u from?
Hi so when you meet the $100 minimum for payout is that just a one time thing or it’s a $100 minimum every month you have to meet before the payouts?
@@Tx21244it’s every time!
Congrats 🎊
to the person who is reading this, don't give up on your channel. Keep going, Its going to be better. 💯
🥺🤍
Ok
Omg thankyou so much.. we really needed this❤
Thanks may God bless you
Thank you for your words of encouragement! 🌸😃🌸
Great to see small channels finally meeting the monetization requirements and start earning some money. Thanks for sharing your analytics with us.
happy to share and hope it was helpful 😊 thank you for the support!
Our time will come.
YESS!!!
@exploringgc yes indeed 👍🏻
@@LisaHarvey16 yes
I love how she celebrates her small achievements, makes me feel motivated
Me too 😊
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 890 subs and > 700 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Wow
You have 2k now🎉
@@ddangerous Thanks!
Recognizing the impermanence of life also gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel. Recently, I uploaded my longest video not too long ago, which is about an hr long and it doubled the number of my subs and watch time hours and most of all, I've been impacting more lives positively and this is the best part of it all. I created this to share my opinion about these main things that truly impacted the way I live and how I became a minimalist.
It's the one most vulnerable videos that I had been hesitant to post for many months because of the fear of being misunderstood but I finally decided to overcome that fear so others can learn from my experience so we can all grow together. Remembering my why's is much more important than the analytic growth. Sometimes I get trapped in focusing on any external rewards from this channel to the point that it paralyzes me from taking actions and I think this is what makes most people not even start at all.
great job!!
@@courtneyr0se Thank you!
Implementing the lessons I learned throughout the years of lots of trials and errors changed my life trajectory and learning that there’s a yin and yang in everything or proton and electron in an atom because opposites attract, which means a night won’t exist without a day because they’re codependent and that’s just the nature of life. I wouldn’t have appreciated the power of kindness if someone was not cruel to me. I wouldn’t have realized the importance of growth if I didn’t see myself stagnating. I wouldn’t have appreciated the importance of health if I didn’t get sick. I wouldn’t have realized the importance of real love if I haven’t witnessed my parents’ relationship slowly fall apart. I wouldn’t have appreciated the importance of mindful money consumption if I wasn’t broke. I wouldn’t have appreciated the growth of my UA-cam channel if I didn’t start at 0.
So happy to finally watch a video from someone who didn’t get monetized overnight 😊 I really enjoyed the transparency!
all about the transparency & happy to share :) thanks for watching!
I have been making videos since August 2022 consistently and I'm only halfway there. Definitely not overnight for me.
Same!!!
@@Celinelikedion That's so kind of you but actually such a slow growth also didn't stop you from the goal. Highly Appreciated!
I just started my channel and I’m not gonna give up on it. I have reached over 300 subscribers and the feeling is amazing to see how much of an accomplishment that number is. Don’t give up I know you can do it, for me it was a rough start but once I found what my niche was I stuck with it.
Congratulations.
Thanks for the encouragement. I just started mine as well
Just subscribed to yours
omg i FELTTT that part about stopping making videos previously cause you were embarrassed. i feel the exact same way about wishing i never stopped but i realized that it’s never too late to start up again!! THANK YOU!!
agreeed, it's never too late! 🙌🥹
this is so cool to see second hand as a small channel… I am just reaching the start of my monetization journey as well and this was so helpful to see how it works!!
Awww love that you’re sharing + having the courage to be vulnerable! We appreciate it out here ❤
Oh my gosh I cannot tell you how helpful this video was! I love you for this lol. I feel like nobody is willing to be this open and transparent about payments so I really appreciate you for that. I'm a smaller creator (3k subs) and you just answered so many of the questions I've been thinking of! Thank you so much💗
🙌
happy to share and I'm so glad it was helpful 🥹💞 best of luck with your growth, and thank you for the support!
Congratulations Celine! You're probably the first You Tube content creator I've seen break down monetization like you did. I'm a long way away from being monetized but everyone started somewhere. I liked this video and I hope it earns lots of passive income.
I was able to follow your breakdown because I'm monetized as a writer on Medium and I didn't realize their partner program is kind of similar. They don't have a threshold though. They'll send 2 cents if you make it 😂. When you make money doing something you love, enjoy and are passionate about it's a win. All of the best to you and your journey..
P.o.p.
thank you 💞🙌 that's interesting that Medium offers a similar monetization program too! 100% agree, doing what you love, enjoy and are passionate about is the dream
Girl, the part where you said you continued filming and pretended to make videos - ME - SAME. And now looking back I'm thankful I continued sharpening my craft because I just love editing videos!
Thanks for sharing your journey!
glad I’m not the only one! 😂 I feel the same way about editing now! thanks for watching 💕
💯✨
I love the transparency you display!! This is a truly inspiring video fam! Keep up the good work! I'm praying for you and your channel to grow! Thank you for this!
Congrats girlie! This UA-cam journey is no joke, but very rewarding! Keep going.
thanks girl! 💖 no joke is right hahah but it's worth it!
@@Celinelikedion you’re welcome!
This is actually really motivational.
We are monetized but dont earn a lot and watching the youtubers that earn tons and tons in their very first month can be disheartening.
It definitely takes time and it really helps that we love youtube xx
i'm so glad this resonated with you 💗 everyone's journey is unique on youtube! best of luck on your growth 🙌

love how transparent you are!! this was super helpful and inspiring. keep going lovely! 🤍
Congratulations! That’s soooo exciting! And thank you for sharing this with everyone.. was very helpful 💕
happy to share!! thank you ☺️
absolutely loved this!! loved all the details, editing & so excited for you and ur channel growth (:
thanks so much Brielle 💖 🫶
I got paid $114 USD after a few months of becoming monetized. I had trouble getting my channel approved for years, but it finally came through earlier this year. It was really hard work. I don’t recommend doing UA-cam for money. Be glad if you get any monetary return from it.
How do you have SO many subscribers but so few total views?
@@VioletEmeralddead subs because they no longer enjoy the videos but didn't unsub or they just left UA-cam and also bot subs
Thank you for sharing all of your transparency. Your channel will grow just keep going.
Thank you so much for this, Celine! I am saving this for later as I hope to someday be monetized. The way you broke it down makes a lot of sense. I didn't realize that Shorts don't count toward monetization❤
Great video! Spot on 👌 Hardest part is getting started, staying consistent and hyper focused on goals. I also agree its very important to take breaks when you can and to upload content you truly enjoy and feel is valuable
Your video is incredibly insightful! It's great to see how the UA-cam monetization journey unfolds for channels like yours. Your transparency about earnings gives a realistic perspective and is highly encouraging for those of us who are just starting our channels. Also, with 20,000+ followers, I believe you've moved beyond being a small UA-camr - that's a significant milestone! Keep up the fantastic work and continue sharing your experiences.
Thank you so much 😊. It’s so nice to see other smaller UA-camrs talk about this. It keeps us encouraged 💪
so glad it was encouraging, thanks for watching! ☺️
thank you for sharing these tips! I'm on my UA-cam journey so this video is very helpful. Super excited to see you grow!
for me i got me a monetized youtube channel with over 20k from viral npc marketplace (it is now 30K) and im now earning like an old youtuber haha. good video btw👍
What is viral npc marketplace 😳?
@@itsqueengg marketplace where sellers post their youtube channels
@@itsqueenggthere is places on the low where people with successful or a rather channels with a built in audience can be taken for people that want to sell them. They are on the low so that it doesn’t go viral and get a bunch of spam from people who have no interest in buying a channel with a full audience.
Yay ❤️ so happy for you Celine ! I’m excited to see you grow
thanks so much! appreciate the support 🫶
Thank you for making this! It’s always nice to see someone in a similar niche post something like this because every niche has different earnings so it makes it difficult to follow. The watch time hours are what’s killing me, but I can’t wait to be monetized eventually!
thank you for watching! 💖 the watch hours can feel impossible, but keep going and trust the process! :)
Can you make a separate video on the tax portion and walk us through the whole process? I heard it's different than just filing yearly as a regular job. Can you teach us how to file taxes, how often, and what to consider? I've never filled out a tax form myself and this is something I would like to learn more about. If you're not comfortable with showing your yearly earning you can just enter random numbers for teaching purposes. I just want to know how to fill out a tax form from a UA-camr's pov. I want to know what forms we need, how to file quarterly, on which lines, and what forms do we put the income earning so when someday I get monetized, I can substitute my earning amount from what I learned from this video? I just don't want to file wrong and end up owing etc. Btw I really enjoyed your video, it was informative, clear, honest, and transparent.
Love how you shared the steps of the process I haven’t heard a lot of others talk about! Thank you for sharing 🫶🏻
Love your vibe! This video is so transparent and informative, thank you. X
Thank you so much! First time I see a content creator sharing about their $2-$4 income. Thank you for your honesty and transparency! Looking forward for more content!
happy to share! thank you for the support 🫶☺
I just found your channel through this video and I adore your personality and content! 😍 Thank you so much for this video it was super informative & definitely such an amazing feeling to see your hard work pay off ❤ Can’t wait to hit this benchmark on my UA-cam journey as well ☺️
thank you for such kind words Sandy! 💖 best of luck on your journey 🫶
Congratulations! That’s a big accomplishment. ❤ Thank you for sharing all the detailed breakdown. This gives me hope and motivation to keep working on growing my channel.
Amazing journey! We are looking forward to our monetising journey! Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much for the transparency! UA-cam is a long term commitment and I am excited to be going on this journey! You popped up on my recommended and subscribed now!! Toronto girlies unite!! ❤ time to binge all your vids hehe 😊
It's definitely a marathon but we will reach the goal oneday.
appreciate the support!! 💖 and so happy that this reached another Toronto girlie :)
Omg love this video and your transparency!! I always say even if it's $1 a day or whatever it's still so cool that you're getting some passive income! Happy for you!!
thank you!! exactly, grateful for every penny :)
I 100% agree with you.
Thank you so much for making this! So encouraging- time to start the marathon 😆
Great video! Super helpful with the transparency and good luck with your UA-cam journey!
This video really gave me a lot of hope for my channel lol. So happy for your progress! Thanks for your transparency ✨
yay I'm so glad to hear that! wishing you the best of luck on your growth, keep going! 💖
Thanks for your explanation of the UA-cam monetization process. Like you, I've been toying with content creation for a few years. Now entering a new phase in life... retirement, so no longer have the excuse of not having the time. I just need to decide which genre will keep me and an audience engaged!
Great presentation. Very infformative. Thank you for this video and good luck to you! 👍
I’ve just started out my UA-cam Journey, and this was the realistic motivation I needed!! Thank you ❤
Thanks for being so transparent it’s good to know what you’re getting into when starting!
🙌🎉
You nearly have 1k subs well done.
I can so relate to your journey of monetization. My channel just got monetized as well and I’m absolutely happy that all my hard work has finally been worth it. Anyway, congrats to you 👏🏻
Wooh, congrats!!! 👍
Thank you 😊
Wow! Congratulations to you. It's kinda hard for me to get more subscribers❤
Congrats on your growth!! I never heard someone explain the process so thoroughly. Really inspiring to hear about your journey and progress 💓
thank you!! glad it was helpful 💖
I love this so much! Thank you for this ❤ Congratulations too!
You go girl❤ my/my daughters channel (not this one) got monetized a few months ago and it’s been super cool 😊 I’d love to know how well you did with the views on this video ❤
Loved how you were excited about your first $2 earnings 😂 Girl, I would be too! Thank you for an insightful video. Passive income from UA-cam is the ultimate goal I'd love to reach some day. Cheers from Toronto 💖
yesss any progress is still progress 😂🫶 thanks for the support and helloo to a fellow toronto girl! ✨
Congratulations,Thank you so much for this video.❤️🎉
Hey I'm just stopping by to say great job! celebrate it like you said and keep going!
much appreciated, thank you!! 🙌❤️
Love the transparency in this video, Celine! Just subscribed 💛 I'm working hard to become monetized, so this video was super insightful for me!
thanks so much raisa! ✨🫶 wishing you the best of luck on your channel growth and monetization journey!! :)
Hoping you get there soon.
Loved your vid girl! Congrats on your journey and crushing it on UA-cam 🥰 So inspiring and motivating ❤️ I’m so close to reaching monetization and your video makes me excited.
thanks so much! 💖 wishing you the best of luck on your monetization journey
@@Celinelikedion thank you 🩷🩷🩷
Thank you for your transparency! I found this super helpful and keeps me optimistic on this UA-cam journey 🥰
I have had my channel for a while and have been struggling, but this gives motivation to keep going because hard work does pay off ❤
the downside is that adsense only pays you once a month. if you have patreon, from what i researched and understood, is that you can withdraw your patreon balance whenever you like or you can wait for the automatic-5th-of-the-month payout if you have that option enabled. you can also keep the funds in your balance for a later date.
just found your videos - you are honestly so sweet! congrats on getting monetised!
Cogratsss celinee, and thank you so much for making this video this help me alottt❤❤
congratulations on making it 🎉❤ i just hit 500 subbies and im so excited to continue my journey. Thanks for making this video to keep us aspiring creators motivated!
congrats on 500!! ❤️ excited for you too, thank you for watching ☺️
Congratulations on 500 subs.
@@LisaHarvey16 thank youuu !
Thank you so much for this helpful video! I felt so seen when you said you stopped because you were embarrassed🙈 I‘m from Switzerland and here it is extremely uncommon to go into content creation and you often get kind of ridiculed when you talk about wanting to do that, so I‘ve been putting it off for YEARS lol. Now that I finally did it I really hope I can make it, and thanks to you I know now what to expect should I ever get there 🥳
very informative thank you! can’t wait to start!
Thanks for the helpful honest video and congrats on getting monetised 🎉
Thank you for sharing the details of your journey. I originally started my YT channel 8 years ago but it's only this year that I decided to have it monetized. Still a long way to go but I trust the process.
I know there are a lot of us (small UA-camrs) being inspired by your accomplishments. Again, congratulations!
totally agree, trust the process and you got this!! thank you for watching :)
It has motivated me to keep going.
@@LisaHarvey16 same here... I usually follow UA-camrs who provides motivation to others.
@@activepinas Did you have to do the Google AdSense and the tax things like she said?
@@CBEACH you have to, if you want your channel to be monetized.
Also a Canadian youtuber here! I’ve been monetized for a few years, and the nice thing about having lots of videos is passive income, as you said. I’ve been on a break for the past few months and I haven’t really posted any videos, but I’m still earning 70-120$ per month based on passive income. Whenever I post a video, I get a spike in my earnings, so the more I post the more money I earn. But knowing even on break you can generate some income from your past efforts is great
yayy! 🇨🇦❤️ that's awesome that you're earning passively consistently - that's the goal!
Thank you for sharing and congrats on being monetized!!! I remember last year when it happened to me I was sooooo excited!! I took a screenshot of the day I got over 1000 subs!! And I agree with you, even if its a little money its still more than before so its a victory!! Excited to see the future of your channel!
thank you so much!! 🫶 I agree, every milestone is worth celebrating even if it’s a little bit of money at first 😊
wow love to see the progression :) congrats!! super exciting
If you reading this let's keep pushing!. It's definitely going to get better.Remember A journey of a thousand mile begin with a step.
Our time will come just believe in yourself and keep up the grind.
I love watching video's like this. I have just gotten monetised and it feels soo good to finally hit the threshold. I'v also had my channel a really long time.
congrats!! 🎉 that's the best feeling, best of luck on your growth 💞
Thank you for sharing ❤ you’re awesome! Keep your attitude of gratitude and everything you wish will come to you.
really appreciate the support and kind words! 💖😌
So interesting! Loved the detail you put into this. I’m hoping in a year’s time or so I’ll be able to make a video like this too! 😊
This is so helpful 😊 feel free do do these every year so we can see the progression
glad it was helpful! 🫶 and YES I'll be shared a 6 month update soon, stay tuned!
Just subbed, thank you for the transparency! I've been going at the UA-cam game for over 2 years and its seeming like it'll never happen. Hearing you say that it took you time makes me feel less afraid of just pushing through and keeping going and it'll happen one day.
really appreciate the support! 💞 I can definitely relate to the feeling like "it'll never happen", it helped to remind myself to trust the process and keep a positive attitude. you got this! :)
Keep going you will get there. I wish you good luck.
@@Celinelikedion yes that feeling becomes overwhelming sometimes. But I need to believe that one day it'll happen 🤞🏻
@@LisaHarvey16 thank you so so much!!
Don't give up! It's harder in the beginning because before you are monetized, UA-cam isn't recommending your channel at all and only the people who stumble upon your channel by search or chance (that's me, the weirdo searching "small Canadian UA-camrs" at 4AM), people you know or gave the link to or, something i love, putting channel stickers around town (but that is an investment). Keep making videos and have fun!! 💜
I hope one day my channel blows up💓 Ty for this video and motivation girly . I’m never giving up!!
Birthday twin here! This was literally my face when you said that 😮😅 taking this as my sign to start now! Thank you for sharing! ♥️
Definitely Starting to feel discouraged about my channel 😭💔!! But we got this !! Thank you 🫶🏽
Yes we do got this 💪🏾
Don’t get discouraged. You got this !
At first I thought this was going to be one of those "it took me so long.. a whole 6 months to become monetized!" videos😒 lol Turns out it's highly relatable. Only difference is I hit the watch hours first before taking a break. I actually needed the break, but unfortunately those watch hours took a big hit with that break (of course) and now that I finally crossed the sub mark it's been the hardest thing to get the watch hours back. But I'm not stopping for anything this time. I'm actually about to start making more content with some branding projects. Thanks for sharing your story!
I wish it was 6 months! hahaha happy to share my story and glad it was relatable :) sometimes a break is much needed, and you should always do what's best for you! wishing you all the best on your monetization journey 💜
Keep up the great work.
this is SO HELPFUL for someone just starting out, thank u!!
Thank you for posting this video! super insightful! Congrats !!!!
wow this was so helpful as I’m trying to meet both goals this year (hopefully)!
I’m currently having the opposite problem that you had. I posted my 1st video ever on Dec 28 of 2022, and my 3rd video “blew up”, it currently has 47k views. That got me a LOT of watch hours and probably about ~180 subscribers if I had to guess. So now my problem is, I’m over halfway through my watch hours (2,228) but I only have 219 subscribers…so if I get 1 more very highly-viewed or 2 pretty highly-viewed videos I’ll probably have the watch hours required but likely not the subscribers…do you have any tips for getting more subscribers haha?
Thanks for making this video, it was really informative!
glad it was helpful! 💖 getting halfway to 4000 watch hours is already amazing! the biggest thing I've learned to gaining subscribers is posting consistently and creating more of the type of content that performs well, especially that's searchable 😊
So amazing !! Congrats on your content creation journey, I love your videos! I'm also from Toronto and trying to get my channel up and running!
Thank you for this video! Seeing the numbers helps us have an idea of what to expect, as a small channel that is very close to monetization. It's super discouraging to watch a bunch of other videos like this where people say it should only take 3-6 months to reach monetization. Thanks for being real about it!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I needed this today. I am just starting my journey on youtube. ❤
Not a UA-camr but ur video popped up and proud of your accomplishments. To help your goals, I subscribed, clicked notifications and liked your video. I hope you continue to be successful in your goals. Great job ! 👏👏👏👏🥰

You give very clear and transparent information on your videos which is why I think a lot of people like myself love watching your "educational" videos. Congrats on your monetization, you're my inspiration!

I think this is a great video - love the transparency - it helps people like me just starting out
