The tool I'm using to help grow my channel: erikakullberg....
Taking you behind the scenes of my first year on RUclips, and how I made $100,000. I had 0 subscribers a year ago today.
I posted my first video a year ago (October 30, 2019) and wanted to share my general tips/suggestions on growing on RUclips as well dive into how I was able to make over $100,000 in the first year of the channel.
Don’t spend so much time “thinking” about starting. Just start. I see a lot of people spend tons of money on courses and spend hours and hours ‘preparing to start a RUclips channel’. I would recommend just starting.
I LOVE researching and overanalyzing things (I’m a lawyer so it comes naturally). I personally spent about 2 months ‘preparing’ to launch my channel, but I wish I would’ve just gone for it. I wanted everything to be perfect, but the reality is, the only way to learn on RUclips is by doing. All of the training and courses and videos you could watch on ‘how to RUclips’ will never measure up to just starting the channel and learning through trial and error. If you’ve been on the edge, just start - today.
Also, I get asked this all the time "is it too late to join RUclips?" No, absolutely not. Come on RUclips with a plan and stay consistent. I truly believe the hardest part of RUclips is starting and the second hardest part of RUclips is staying consistent. Both are in your control. The reality is that most people will quit RUclips before they have the opportunity to ‘blow up’.
In the video I also give my thoughts on whether RUclips is actually passive income, and how you can build it as a passive income stream.

When you were giving the stimulus updates. Been with you ever since
Stimulus checks time back in May
April or May 2020 😀 been here since then😀😍👌👏👏
Ericka you’re like a favorite teacher I’ve never had 😃 congratulations and keep up the goodwork!
Thanks for sharing! I downloaded your youtube guide. 1). sponsor: I tried to reach out to some sponsors, but never heard back from them. how were you able to get their reply? what kind of brands do you work with? 2) affiliate marketing: i put up Webull referral link for months, but no one ever clicks on it. what affiliate program do you recommend for micro RUclipsr like me?
I remember watching your first video on RUclips, it's hard to believe that was a year ago
OMG wow, I totally remember - time flies! It's wild.
It really is. I also remember watching this channel on November 8, 2019
Never delete your videos just because someone doesn't like it, your doing great! You're a very good youtuber!!
I like how a mid roll ad played just as you mentioned mid roll ads. Congrats on your success!
LOL I didn't do that on purpose but that is pretty funny!
Great job, Erika! Thank you for posting this and being so transparent.
Thank you for being brave enough to post and create this channel. I see a lot of myself in your personality and how you carry yourself, except I am not an attorney. I was a business owner with my family's travel agency that sadly I had to leave due to the ongoing pandemic. The business is still running but it couldn't support both our families and I've been on the fence about joining the workforce or starting my own business (aka way to build passive income). I've probably binge-watch many of your videos and have found value from the content you have created. I'm going to go for it and start listing out goals, map out a consistency plan, and START.
Watched through this whole thing, there is so much to learn that you rarely find in other videos, such about tracking links, specific CPMs/RPMs, how they vary within finance, income ads to affiliate sponsorship ratios, been here since you had a sub-count in the lower 4-digits, so happy to see your growth, congrats on it all!! 🤗🍹🎉
What an impressive first year! Congrats on your accomplishments so far and I'm really looking forward to seeing what's next!
Thank you SO much Pierce! Keep going!!
Thank you for being so clear and insightful!! Congrats on your channel
Congrats, Erika! The hard work you’re putting in is really paying off!
Your channel has grown a ton just since I had you on the podcast a few months ago. Keep it up!
Thank you so much Josiah! I really appreciate it!
Congratulations on your success I've been a fan since day one nobody breaks it down like you
Thank you Tammy!!
Stories like yours constantly give me inspiration for my own YT journey! Thank you!
Such great information! 💗 Would you consider doing a video on being a better negotiator? Negotiating with people in a business sense is something that I always seem to have trouble with. 😬
You’ve got a new subscriber here! Just discovered you and love what you stand for !
Congratulations on the 1 year anniversary! I'm in shock at how fast the time has flown by with so much happening.
Thank you Neil!! I know, it really has flown!
Congrats on your success! Very inspiring! You've definitely worked very hard and deserve it.
Beyond beyond happy I found your channel! Thank you so much for your transparency 😍 slow and steady wins the race 🌱🤞🏼
Love to watch everything you post. Telling everyone about you!
Thank you Paula!
Congratulations and happy first RUclips anniversary! This was such an inspiring video
So happy to hear that! Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking time to help educate us about doing RUclips videos and how to monetize your channel. Love your videos. Keep up the great work you are doing. You are making a difference.
This was so insightful thanks so much!! I'm in the same niche as you, so this was particularly interesting to watch!!
Actually one of the best 'how to start RUclips' videos I've seen. Well done.
Glad you think so!
Congratulations!!! I really loved your style of providing the stimulus information. It is clear and truthful.
I am so happy to hear that--that's really my goal! Thank you Pakun!
I'm a new creator and your tips are really helpful and gives me the motivation to keep going despite setbacks.
Congratulations on your success. It's well earned. Thank you for everything you are doing and keep doing it.
Impressive and inspiring. Congratulations! Ms Erika
Girl you are special! Let’s not downgrade your awesomeness ❤❤❤❤
Continue being you Erica. Congrats 👏👏👏
Thank you Sher! I really appreciate you!
This is so inspiring!! "All it takes is one video"
Refreshing, enlightening and so insightful. Learned a lot! My wife is building up the courage to get started on RUclips and I think this video will give her the confidence she needs to make her first video!
Congratulations to her!! She'll love RUclips! :)
The only thing i would recommend is CAPTIONING for hard of hearing subscribers. Thank for being transparent, informative and generous. Im continuing to like comments and refer. Thank you.
I mean request**
Thank you! I think if you press captions it will do it.
Thank you for this inspirational video Erika! Your hard work definitely paid off. After the next stimulus package has come and gone, I will continue to subscribe to your channel. I appreciate your integrity and the value that you bring to your audience! Besides, who doesn't like various ways of making money?
I appreciate you Kevin!!! AHH so happy to hear you like the video. I was scared to read the comments on this one.
Congrats Erika all the hard work you put into your videos you deserve it.
A great smile and good honest info is always a winning combination, thanks for keeping us up to date on relative issues.
More success is ahead for you.
Congratulations Erika. You are very informative and unselfish.
That's really nice of you to say - thank you Ximena!
I totally agree. Evergreen videos are much more important for long term success IMO. The pop and drop trendy videos is just like having a second job. Thank for the video!
This video gives me so much inspiration! Thank you and please keep making your videos!!!!
I just love your videos. It didn’t make sense to me that you abandoned your career but now I’m trying to be independent like you and enjoy life.
Excellent video, Erika!
Thank you! This was both inspiring and valuable!! Big congrats!!! 🙌🏼
Erica you have an excellent RUclips personality yes 👍 thanks for all the info keep going don't stop 😀
Great information. Thank you for putting this out there.
Congratulations!! This is awesome!
Love the transparency and effort you put in!
Love the advice about tracking affiliate links! Great job, Erika!
Good!! I'm so happy to hear! It's definitely worth doing.
@@Erika2 would you consider doing an interview on my channel? I think it would be pretty cool for my audience to hear your story and for us to chat about entrepreneurship, personal finance, and investing. 😁

I just found your channel and I utterly LOVE your personality. I have a channel that I used to be active on, but I left dormant for yearssss. I'm in the throes of resuscitating it. Your videos are totally helping me with the strategy I can couple with my creativity. You're doing great work! Thank you for being a resource!!! Also, you ever do radio interviews (yes, actual radio)? Is that something you'd be into? Infinite Blessings, -e-
Already a year passed!!? Wow that was quick,and 100k already? I need to work 2 years for that money.Great job and next stop should be with one more zero on 100k in next year 😎

Erika, thank you for sharing this! I’m in law school now, and I’ve always wanted to create content. I’m definitely taking notes!
Hi Erika, love your content, its so valuable. Can you please do a video on how to negotiate deals and sponsors? That would be so helpful!
That's a great suggestion! I might to it on my tiktok soon :)
@@Erika2 thanks for responding!!!
Well that's totally incredible thank you very much Erica wonderful.🙂
Good information Erika.
I love to learn from your videos. Your great !!!
Thank you so much Mark!
Great content! thanks for sharing. Would love to hear your tips & tricks on making the process of making / editing videos faster and of better quality.
I have yet to come across such straightforward review!
Good!! :)
Thank you so much!!
You did a great job here. I watched this to the very end Erika. You reach out so very well here. I just subscribed too :)) well done... Retired but financially stressed, sad to say......
Hello Erika. i'll read your guide later. i have 2 questions: 1). sponsor: I tried to reach out to some sponsors, but never heard back from them. how were you able to get their reply? what kind of brands do you work with? 2) affiliate marketing: i put up Webull referral link for months, but no one ever clicks on it. what affiliate program do you recommend for micro RUclipsr like me?
I don’t know how I found you but i like your videos! IYou got a subscriber! Keep the great job!
Awesome! Thank you!
Your openness, authenticity & video content are all excellent, thank you for all you do to assist in your viewers success.
Negotiation skills would probably be a great evergreen video for the future, as many business sectors use these skills & most people would love to be able to negotiate on house & car purchases.or their next pay raise (until their side hustle goes viral) 😊
Thank you for such a clear breakdown of your first year. I just found you via a mention from Kelly Stamps. Looking forward to watching more of your content! Very helpful for someone in the planning stages. Best of luck to you!
You deserve this and more. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m inspired by your courage.
I'm curious to hear about negotiating tips you have, esp as a lawyer, applied to personal finances like negotiating affiliate links, sponsorships, etc.!
Awesome video. I love it. And I appreciate your honesty. Don't get that from a lot people these days 👍
Congratulations 👏 👍🏾✅🎉🎊🥳🏆
Thank you 🤗
@@Erika2
You're very welcome 😊
Hey Erika, another GREAT video, and no, your not showing off :) I'm on the verge of launching own own coaching channel and you are an inspiration. Thank you :)
So happy to hear!!
Yay!! I was waiting for an income update!! Congrats !!!
Hi Jessica! YAY, I'm happy to hear that. Wasn't sure if anyone would be interested.
For me, the evergreen videos are more desirable, just becuase I am over Congress not passing things and helping the American people who truly need it. I appreciate all of your work this year though for us! I do try to watch them all, but I enjoy your income updates becuase I would love to be able to create a RUclips feed.
Nice to see. Go on, curious for the video next year. 🤑
Can't wait for year 2! :)
Thank you! I really appreciate the transparency. My friend and I are just about to start our own channel for fun and this is really helpful to know how we can optimize this. Excellent! Could you do a video about making RUclips video shorts and how that effects your channel?
I think this is the most informative video I've watched on this
I love your channel your videos have taught me so much. I also had insecurities about making RUclips videos at first. I used to not put myself in my videos at all. Overtime I have gained the confidence to put myself in my videos now. I have put a lot of work into my channel and even though I haven't gained many subscribers I will never give up because I love making videos. I hope someday all my work and hours of editing will pay off.

Great video! Thanks 😊
Same
Erika, another awesome and inspiring video! Arigato for being honest and transparent. Thank you for showing us the BTS (behind-the-scenes) of how to make money on RUclips. Love the in-depth explanation and your reason to "Why?" you decided to start your own channel. And, we should ask ourselves, what is our motive? . . . Such an encouragement to start my own channel (don't worry, it won't be in personal finance 😉)
Thank you for sharing, very informative.
Wow Erika! Huge congrats on six figures! Hopefully I can make it there some day!
You definitely will! Stay consistent - I promise it'll happen for you!
Happy for your success and thank you for sharing. Were you doing this all by yourself or you had some help with producing the videos?
Fabulously useful! (Though tbh, only potentially because as an old guy, who worked - and developed some insight and affinity with - one of the worst financially rewarding sectors, I remain empty-pocketed, still bewildered at the techy-21C and cold-footed about how to get into it for a new stream of income. But I am keen to learn!) Thank you
