I think realizing that RUclips is a long game and that these videos are investments is truly the difference between successful content creators and non successful ones
This is the first time I have seen someone who had done this too without BS and beating around the bush only to censor the revenue in the end. Gotta love the guy for this
I agree! I’ve spent so much time looking at other videos to see how RUclips works and after looking at this video I got all of my thoughts and questions answered. It was very helpful!
What I love about this video is that it literally tells you in the first 10 seconds how much he made. If it was guarded until I'm 70% through, I'd click away as soon as I find out, but being told immediately makes me think it must not be the most valuable part of the video - maybe some tips will follow. So I keep watching. Brilliant.
Just something I noticed in the video. MKBHD said it took him 5 months and 200 videos. That means he averaged MORE THAN A VIDEO A DAY. He made 200 videos in about 150 days. It doesn't just take time. It takes a whole lot of work and dedication.
Thinking of each video as an investment and digital asset is pretty cool. A lot of my top earning content is 1-2+ yr old content. Playing the long game 💪
I have been trying to start my RUclips channel for over 2 years. Any time I watch Ali’s videos, I tell myself “I’m going to start” I got to stop procrastinating. Thanks for your sharing, Ali!
This is is so insightful am on the second month with my RUclips channel and I was starting to feel low why it's not growing but watching this has motivated me to continue creating content.
You never failed to inspire me. You know, Ali. I don't want to be rich. I just want to be financially freedom and buy things without thinking twice. I hope I can stay consistent and not being too picky about my journey. Thanks Ali!
Being able to buy things without thinking twice is already considered rich. Able to put food on the table and not worry about household bills is more practical.
Hi Ali, I started my youtube channel about a year ago and I knew nothing about editing. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and I ended up joining the skill share course where you teach us how to edit on final cut pro. After finishing that course I posted my first ever video on this youtube channel. After trying a bunch of niches and making 40+ videos in over a year (most of them are unlisted now) I finally got a viral video that changed my channel and possibly my life forever. I went from 200 to 12k subscribers in 2 weeks and I just wanted to say thank you for giving me the skills needed to make valuable videos to people around the world.
Amazing video and breakdown, Ali! I'm getting a ton out of this. Thanks for always being super open and transparent about these figures. Motivational with no bs 💪
Bro, big respect, just 5 years, and you got 3. Something millions subscribe to. I have my channel the same time you have your own, and I'm still only 300 views.
I made a comment on the last video on how the video was overproduced and overstimulating, this video is literally the remedy. This is peak Ali Abdaal energy, his strength is in the camera presence and I don't think he needs all these editing cues at all.
Comparing a RUclips video to real-estate in the UK blows my mind... Mrbearst spent 3.5 on a RUclips video.... This platform deserves all the praise it has gotten.
It baffles me every time how you can speak so fast, make so much sense and be entertaining at the same time. It’s like someone presses a button and say “go!” And you don’t stop to take a breath until you’re done. Absolutely brilliant. I’d literally pay to watch this video! Too valuable!! Thank you Ali❤
Thank you for putting yourself out there and being so transparent Ali it means the world to people who are also pursuing their dreams. For those of you starting your own RUclips channel, you are not alone! Believe in yourself! 🙌
Thanks Ali for sharing your journey! You inspire so many of us. I started my channel teaching Chinese recently. Also taking you and your team’s part-time RUclips academy courses and learning so much from it. I’m committed to this journey of creating content. I believe in consistent efforts over time. Hope to make impact for my audience and for myself along the way.
I'm just at the very start of the youtube journey and I'm finding it quite difficult to generate a script and actually record myself... but every time I struggle and feel down, I watch one of your videos and it gives me the positive affirmation to try and keep going and see where it goes. As we say in German: "Wer nicht wagt, der nicht gewinnt" - "He who does not try, will not win"
Thank you so much for your inspiration Ali. I seldom comment on youtube, but I really want to express my thanks to you of how you have changed my perspective of looking at success in the past year. Really so grateful to come across your channel💝
This is so motivating and you are such a compelling speaker! Loved it so much, and it’s very comforting to hear that even videos that don’t perform right away can pay off in the long term!
Thanks Ali, that was very useful and really focused the mind! I am sure this will eventually be one of you high earners too, great stuff, thanks again!
I don't do RUclips videos. But the inspiration, ideas, and advise from Ali apply to many other media and entrepreneurial business efforts. Thanks for posting.
I've been making videos for YEARS and I'm growing at a seemingly slow pace. Are my videos just not good enough, not interesting enough, bad SEO, something else, or a combination? Feels like I've been working the last 3+ years for nothing. Don't get me wrong, I love the process, but sometimes it's easy to lose motivation when I'm not rewarded for my work. Any thoughts?
"Every good thing in life benefits from compounding. The more effort you put into something over a long period of time, the more likely it is to return results." Wise words, Ali 🙏🏽so true about targeting people who own businesses because they have the money to spend on your product/services.
Videos like this are always greatly appreciated because it helps to give us perspective on what being a successful content creator really takes. No fluff, real effort, and dedication. I appreciate content like this the most. Thanks for sharing Ali!
in the days revenues were like $1 per thousand views i find it insane that now its like 20/30/40 sometimes and yet some RUclipsrs still complain sometimes
Join the last ever cohort of my course the Part Time RUclipsr Academy here: go.aliabdaal.com/cohort8youtube
hey.
this video made me feel really good. i am now charged and im gonna buy a 1tb ssd hard drive so i can upload a video every day. LETS GO!
Well done Ali! It is visible that you work really hard and you deserve all that you have accomplished!

Playing the long game is a great lesson. RUclips takes the most patience compared to other platforms. Thanks for the great video! 😊
Couldn’t have said it better. I’m 8 months in and the wheels are finally starting to see the wheels turning
and it turns out to be worth it
@@elissm5349 yep
@@khalilahd. great channel 😄
yes definitely. And blogging as well, but both platforms can get that snowball effect once you're going.
Congratulations. Really really proud of you
This video motivates me & inspires me to keep going!!! *treating videos like digital assets* 👌🏾

Work and dedication 👌 so accurate

It's not just the videos that grew. It's your personality and willingness to share altogether. Less than halfway through your video I subscribed.
You everywhere 🤧
Man your like us. You watch everything
Starting NOW. Oct. 2022. The long game awaits. lets go. thank you for the inspiration.
How did it go ?
Ali Abdaal is the most genuine person on youtube He shares his knowledge with an open heart
I have been trying to start my RUclips channel for over 2 years. Any time I watch Ali’s videos, I tell myself “I’m going to start” I got to stop procrastinating.
Thanks for your sharing, Ali!
Start immediately... Don't wait no more.
Try to plan small.. Take small steps.. Small videos.. These small steps take you to Your Big Goals
Love the breakdown, great video as always!
It’s interesting how much the CPM rate varies by creator. I have a video with over 2 million views and it made me $32,000
Thank you Ali! Raza :)

Thank you, Ali. I didn't know that some niches bring such huge money!
So much effort is put in these videos and we never know how it will go
My pleasure!
Nice , multiple side hustles at once is a good way of stacking money!
Thank you Ali! This is inspiring. I create contents for Mongolian audience but CPM is around $1. Now its time to challenge English speakers.
Thanks Ali❤For this video really appreciated for telling reality.
Just insane amounts of inspiration firing through my brain after watching this. Thanks again Ali. Def joining your course

Congratulations on your 5th RUclips-versary! 👏🏽
Thanks to you I started my RUclips channel and now I educate people on finance literacy 😊

Mrbearst spent 3.5 on a RUclips video....
This platform deserves all the praise it has gotten.
yes, can you imagine how much ROI he expects from it in return? The same when he gives away $10K. Those videos make him a lot more than that.
Hopefully I get to your level in life! We all got this!
Excellent and inspiring video - one of the best. Well done!
In reality: 10 years on RUclips, 60k views per month = £400 to £500 per month.
Curious to know, how are you going now, in 2024?
Thats the reality for the majority of us youtubers
Well done Ali. I am learning a lot from your channel and honestly you have been a big inspiration. Patience is the only way up
Thanks for this … I wish everyone good luck 🤞
I love how you added the lessons learned with each video, thank you

he speaks fast but also speeds up his videos sometimes i think..
Crisp and to the point. Loved it.
Thinking long term is a very crucial thing and has great reward

Nice am on my journey to build my youtube video but I need more keys knowledge 📕
Really Insightful Ali!
The most enthusiastic video i have watched these days
I'm taking the credit for you turning on Adsense for your highest earning video 😌
Hehe thanks for that
hahah what's the backstory behind that?
This is incredible and very inspiring 👏

I love Ali's videos theres a pleasant attitude to all his videos. He and Martin Lewis need to collab!
Amazing! 🙌🏽
Thank you for the advises Ali ! Will sure keep these in mind
Your knowledge and your channel are the ultimate intellectual fodder we need.
Many full-time youtubers could have explained this but none do. Thanks Ali, great vid.
Thank you for the deep insight!
Great advice 👍
Thank you so much for your inspiration Ali. I seldom comment on youtube, but I really want to express my thanks to you of how you have changed my perspective of looking at success in the past year. Really so grateful to come across your channel💝
I've learned, Effort Compounds and something hard eventually becomes easier. 😄
Starting is hard
Persisting is even harder
Enjoy the journey and money will be added as a byproduct

You're right, and it becomes hard to listen to him.
@@dalydegagne1839 switch the speed to 0.75x then 😂
@@darrain.7 Thanks for the suggestion Darrain. I couldn't find a RUclips setting to reduce the speed. How do I do it?
@@dalydegagne1839 Just like you do to increase the speed, go to settings and playback speed and select the speed that you want
So true 😂
U dont have any idea how much this vid alone motivated me. Thanks. God Bless u!
amazing results. Im with you since about 300k and been watching every since. Pure inspo
This is so motivating and you are such a compelling speaker! Loved it so much, and it’s very comforting to hear that even videos that don’t perform right away can pay off in the long term!
