    being a youg 20's Aussie girl your content is SO helpful on budgeting/ money transparency. You're quickly becoming my fav creator across all platforms 🩷 I get so excited when I see you have posted, LOVING 2 vids a week!!

    Would you do a video breaking down your different income streams and how you managed them to the point of transitioning to full-time content creator?

  • @paigedenmeade

    Would definitely love to see a video on your different income streams 🙏🏼

    We’ve looked into the numbers a little bit over the past few years as creators/youtubers ourselves that are more in the travel/vlog niche and anything to do with money/finance is the highest RPM. Your RPM is much higher than ours, just for reference ours on average is around $8 RPM, some creators in certain countries do or different are less at even like $3 😅 so even though you don’t have viral video’s and your video’s are more consistent similar ammount of views you’re doing great because your RPM Is insanely high 😍🙌🏼❤

    This felt like such a trip down memory lane, with you recapping your top videos! As a viewer who distinctly remembers most of those videos, it means you make such helpful and valuable content that really resonate with us! Thank you for always being so transparent 😊

    Omg this is so interesting to me!!! I personally love your travel videos/travel budget/planning but it’s so cool to know that they aren’t necessarily your greatest earning. I love ALL your uploads and is honestly a highlight to end my night when I see you’ve uploaded and I can bed rot watching your channel ❤❤

    Was hoping for more detail on affiliates links and brand deals as they go hand in hand from the videos.

    • @smileycitrus
      @smileycitrus  10 дней назад +16

      this is just what youtube paid me! I can definitely share more of the vague overall numbers for affiliate links and brand deals in the future (I just have to be careful what I share for legal reasons)

  • @GeorgeIvan-l2e
    @GeorgeIvan-l2e 10 дней назад +10

    I love that at the start you acknowledged you never really look at the analytics and maybe should check in with it more often…and then at the end summarised that you just want to be yourself / do what feels genuine rather then obsess / make content purely to generate money :)
    You are incredibly real in your videos, nothing ever feels staged which I really enjoy ❤❤❤

    • @smileycitrus

    Love this thank you for sharing! Have been considering starting RUclips for many years but always so worried I won’t know what I’m doing 😅
    Maybe I’ve missed this in the past - but if you haven’t already would you consider sharing how to start RUclips with a bit of an explanation as to how it works? I.e. how you make partner? How ads actually work? Especially when people pay for RUclips subscriptions so ads don’t play (like me)?
    So happy to see this for you and having watch you go through quitting to go full time etc. Great work! 🎉 ❤

    Hey Ella, I like your content, would you ever consider doing how much your paid partnerships pay you because watching this video it seems like a lot more of your income comes from your paid partnerships rather than RUclips

    • @smileycitrus
      @smileycitrus  8 дней назад +2

      it does! I can definitely share more x

    How do you actually put ads on videos? Do the adverts come to you and ask for you to use it, or can you just pick and chose an ad then get paid from it through views? 🤔

    I’m assuming this is all in Australian dollars? I thought your best vlogs were traveling! You show the real and total costs including things people often overlook! I loved the US travel series! What was your subscriber growth this year?

    • @smileycitrus
      @smileycitrus  8 дней назад

      yes it is ☺️ & thank you! i'm glad you enjoyed them! My subscriber growth was 14,000 in 2024

    Does that income include your paid promotions and how much do you get paid for the sponsorship weekends away etc ….i miss a lot of your older style videos from before you went full time “influencer”, but still enjoy your current style also.

    • @smileycitrus
      @smileycitrus  9 дней назад

      no, this is just purely youtube adsense ☺️
      what content do you miss?

    Is that amount like peanuts compared to what you earn from brand deals? Would be interesting to see how much influencers make per month (without naming specific brands - just curious 😊)

    • @smileycitrus
      @smileycitrus  10 дней назад +2

      it's definitely my most consistent and reliable income source since it's paid out the same time every month ☺️ but it's now my smallest stream. I share exactly how much I make from social media in my resets every month!
