I wanna just add in how grateful I am for everyone that watches and supports my videos, you are the sole reason any of this is possible and I am eternally grateful. I hope that I can live up to each of your hopes for what this channel can be and will become! EDIT: some people asked about how YT Premium fits in. Basically it feeds into revenue where creators get a share of the subscription fee, but as you might imagine the cut we get it very small. It’s most profitable for RUclips
Thank you so much for the openness, just a bit worried now about this video staying. Are you allowed to share all of this information? Really would hate to see you get demonetised or anything..
Luke Miani this is kinda sad because I had one in 2013 and even tho I got only about a couple bucks every 6 months it still was something now people can’t even get money anymore trying to start
“Mid roll ads are HUGE-“...ad starts 😂 No ad-block from me son. Keep up the great content. Thank you for sharing. You will grow and grow and grow and grow.
Yes, I was shocked by this. I understand what we as a team have to look forward too. Of course we are also a few years away just like Luke took time to get to where he is. So, will anyone else. (:
morbidcorpse Because if some shill RUclipsr keeps us in the dark on how he is making his YT money, thats shady and untrustworthy because he may have certain product biases.
I love the openness and discussion of the analytics. It makes me want to be sure that I can do my part to make sure you earn as much as possible for the awesome work you do.
I admire this.... some people claim they love their fans but they will never share the knowledge to help build each other ... I respect you for this... and happy I Subscribed
impressive numbers man. I barely have 2800 subs and might get $100/month but if I guess if I multiplied that by 20, we'd be similar I had no idea that I could determine where I could leave those mid-roll ads.
I've been on youtube since it's infancy, I remember the star rating and at some point you couldn't upload videos longer than 10 minutes if you created your account after a certain date, oh yeah and no ads. It's crazy how much the site has grown.
This was interesting, and didn't know how this whole RUclips Channel system worked. Thank you for your video, because it was enlightening. I have been subscribing to many channels, from Tech Videos, Apple Product and News Videos, Adobe App Videos, and RV Full Timer Videos.
Thank you SO MUCH for the insight about the 10 minute mark. Your channel and mine are very similar in the number of views and subscribers - but you are making more than double the money 💰😳 The difference is in what you explained: I only have 1 video over 10 minutes. I really appreciate your openness.
This is by far one of the most comprehensive breakdowns of the "how does it work" question we all ask in reference to youtube revenue streams. You are greatly appreciated. While I have been a subcriber for a few weeks, I just hit the notification bell as all you seem to dish is quality content. I salute you!
Thank you this was very very enlightening and I always wanted to know. I always make it a point to at least watch through to at least one one ad for any video that I get at least some information or entertainment from
My man Luke. Always great content. Nice to see you staying humble and giving some transparency. Keep it up man, you’ll be hitting double coma views in no time!
So interesting. I think you deserve more subscribers. Your content is always so good. Well produced, and I never watch your videos then switch off short way through. Never boring and I always learn something. I think your channel should have more subscribers tbh, it deserves it.
Thank you Luke, very straight forward video. I really appreciate it. I am interested in further videos related to starting & growing a successful channel. I have slowly made it to 131 subs and always look forward to making better content and growing my channel. Thanks again.
I have a small channel and I've never thought of mid video ads. I guess because I'm not too fond of them, and don't feel it's fair to insert ads for others. However, all my videos are usually 15ish minutes long, and seeing your comparison, I might go back to some of the more popular ones and try it out... Thanks for the video, I found your channel via the algorithm ages ago, and I'm not a mac fan but love watching them!
Like you, I’m also a content creator, and this video explains very well our reality, my goal is to generate enough revenue in order to pay a salary to my mom because she doesn’t work . Keep uploading these amazing videos dude!
Looks like the Chanel has grown a bit. I got tired of ads a few years back so I signed up for RUclips prime. It was one of the best things I’ve done with this medium. You have a great channel and I subscribe and like as much as I can
I turned off my ad-blocker.... for this video. ;) (high volume of my youtube time is done on the youtube app, so no blocker there). Keep up the great content Luke!
I subbed. Refreshing to see someone honest and open about a subject that most creators avoid. Even many corporations and Fortune 500 companies will at least give a snapshot about their profits. I don't think it should be required, but ppl clearly usually don't bring it up because they don't want their subs to REALLY know how much dough they're rolling in.
This is probably the most in depth video about youtube ad revenue I have ever seen. Very informative, really shows how some of the major channels can make big money and even at "only" 50k subs you can still be sustainable!
I was gonna buy a iMac 09ish then look on youtube and found this guy out, pretty good I most say, fun to watch. more iMac from the past please that would be nice Luke Miani
Love this type of open and honest communication. It always fascinates me as a viewer how my viewership helps content creators through RUclips’s Ads and I’ve learned a lot. Thanks for being so clear and upfront about the topic as most creators aren’t nearly as direct about it. Keep it up!
Thanks Luke! I just hit 1000 subs so I'm excited to learn how to make the most of monetization after being reviewed. I really respect your channel, the simplicity, the information, as well as how the hell you come up with so much Mac content!!!
What a great informal video. Thank you so much for this. Always been something I've been curious about and as someone who's been contemplating a channel as a future job, this made my decision easier.
Luke as always your video is great and very useful. I just want to say Thanks for being so honest with your followers. Watching your videos is such a pleasure. Thanks for being a nice guy👍👍👍👍
Thanks. I had a basic knowledge of this and had figured some of it out myself. But this was a really clear explanation. I have a much better understanding now. Cheers.
Great explanation dude! But I expect no less from one of my favourite channels. 🤓 More info would definitely be appreciated - and great comic timing with mid-roll ad! Keep up the good work.
Watching your video updating a mid-2010 MBP inspired me (and gave me the confidence) to update my own 2010 machine. I had considered just putting the machine in the recycle container- it had become laughably slow. I started looking at new laptops...and then I discovered your channel. I bought a new SSD and 8 gb RAM (totaling about $90], and viola! - a completely satisfactory, “new”, MBP! Thank you for doing this channel. I’m sure there are many stories just like mine out there that you have inspired. Even though I will probably never buy or upgrade another Mac (I’m retired)!, I continue to watch your videos - they are so interesting and well done. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching.
Heck yeah, talk about it. I plan on starting a channel I am in the process of becoming partnered lol or whatever, I'm not even sure what I'm going to do yet but I have time to work all that out. So thank you for the information and the help...
You explained everything so well, you kept me hooked until the end. Truth be told I had never heard of you but you came recommended and since I like tech and your creative flow.. subscribed!
Been chugging along with my channel. Currently at 1300 subs and figuring out how to grow. Watch time is where it's at and I've been steadily growing for 2019. Thanks for the advice!
Thanks for putting the number at the beginning ! And I love the info you gave really opened my eyes. Hopefully one day I can start a RUclips channel lol
Thanks for sharing about this, you're the only one who actually showed actual YT data and earning stats for your channel to help us understand a bit more clearly ☺️
You are doing your best LUKE to provide alternative insights & solutions, in spite of the confusion arena of engineering mistakes and blatant overpricing which has been caused, many of us believe, by the VACUUM of leadership at APPLE 🍎 since the passing of their founder Steve Jobs. In that regard, you are a rare commodity within the domain of Media spokesmen for Tech and within the videos covering the personal technology sector of RUclips. Thanks for your contributions, and All the Best going forward.
Loving your videos Luke, I must have earnt you a fortune this last month. But that's fair because I've bought 1 MacBook and 2 iMacs on eBay, upgraded and flipped them for profit. I wouldn't't have dared strip down a Mac till I found your channel. Thank you again :)
Hey Luke! I recently found your vids and I am hooked. I am watching this video from 2019 because I watched all the others! Love your channel and I wish you all the future success!
I think this is the first time a youtuber that i've come across has explained this so well and with so much transparency, keep up the good work, looking forward to more content.
appreciate the openness on this topic. I understand the struggle to 1000. I want to make good content like you, hopefully I will get there at some point. Been at 262 subs for a while.
Great content! I've also been really curious about how the monetization on YoutTube works. I know there are a lot more factors, but this is really helpful. Thanks Luke!
This helps alot! In a small youtuber rn but have grown over 100 subs in 2 weeks and am trying to make this my future job. Its a bit confusing but you helped alot!
Thanks Luke. I'm currently planning some growth strategies for my tech channel and I was wondering when I'd be able to take it full time. This helped a lot.
pretty good video about this subject. First of its kind in all the various tech channels out there. Yeah looking forward to your next one. very educational and informative.
Yes this is quite eye opening and it makes the most sense. Thanks for your break down and your honesty. By the way thank you for all of the work and effort as well. It has been quite educational for myself to learn more details about Macs as a whole so thank you. Keep up the good work.
I wanna just add in how grateful I am for everyone that watches and supports my videos, you are the sole reason any of this is possible and I am eternally grateful. I hope that I can live up to each of your hopes for what this channel can be and will become!
EDIT: some people asked about how YT Premium fits in. Basically it feeds into revenue where creators get a share of the subscription fee, but as you might imagine the cut we get it very small. It’s most profitable for RUclips
Strange bicep articulation, but it is acceptable
keep it up Luke
Thank you so much for the openness, just a bit worried now about this video staying. Are you allowed to share all of this information? Really would hate to see you get demonetised or anything..
Luke Miani this is kinda sad because I had one in 2013 and even tho I got only about a couple bucks every 6 months it still was something now people can’t even get money anymore trying to start
i had 2 adds enjoy your money
Man it's criminal you only have 50k, hands down the best Apple centric channel with truly original content
Agree 100. A truly great channel. In my top 3.
@@barriemoorcroft534 Your wish has been granted. Now 275k just a year later.
442k now... 🎉
In all my years of watching RUclips vids, this is easily one of the most helpful, candid, and not-full-of-bs videos I have ever watched. Many thanks!
“Mid roll ads are HUGE-“...ad starts 😂
No ad-block from me son. Keep up the great content. Thank you for sharing. You will grow and grow and grow and grow.
Andrew Reed same wtf aha
10/10 for comedy
Andrew Reed me and my partner both laughed so hard at that! Nice one Luke!
Was he even able to say the entire word "huge" before the ad started. I had to chuckle.
same thing here.....Ads are HU...-ad starts...
Props for being open, bro. Good to establish trust amongst your viewers and openly talk about things like this. Few tech YT'ers do. Glad I subbed!
Yes, I was shocked by this. I understand what we as a team have to look forward too. Of course we are also a few years away just like Luke took time to get to where he is. So, will anyone else. (:
morbidcorpse Okay. I am willing to listen to your opinion. Explain please?
morbidcorpse Because if some shill RUclipsr keeps us in the dark on how he is making his YT money, thats shady and untrustworthy because he may have certain product biases.
nixlad This is why I like this young man’s candor. He isn’t attempting to hide anything unlike some of figures. ;)
ricky v Yeah, like people like Linus, Marques, UrAvg, and many more
50,000 to 107,000 from May 24, 2019 to Dec 31, 2019. That's a big improvement!
Also, Happy New Year!!
3000 in 3 days is not bad
173.000 may 2020
265k as 2021 came in.
Thank you for being open about monetization on RUclips! most creators avoid this topic.
I love the openness and discussion of the analytics. It makes me want to be sure that I can do my part to make sure you earn as much as possible for the awesome work you do.
Thanks Luke, I have always been curious about the "views" thing.
Much appreciated!
I admire this.... some people claim they love their fans but they will never share the knowledge to help build each other ... I respect you for this... and happy I Subscribed
This was interesting. I have no desire to start a RUclips channel but I find the analytics discussion interesting. Please make more.
You do have a channel, and now 1 subscriber.
Banana_Boy _Bob Haha. I do? I had no idea.
ClayDaddy5 when you comment for the first time you create one, lol
Banana_Boy _Bob Thanks for the sub. Lol
It looks like you have 2 subs +1 more 😉
Probably the most informative explanation of RUclips monetization I’ve seen. Good job.
For you my friend, I would watch the ads entirely. Thanks for your honesty.
A new bud.
You have grown a TON in the past year! Congrats!
impressive numbers man. I barely have 2800 subs and might get $100/month but if I guess if I multiplied that by 20, we'd be similar I had no idea that I could determine where I could leave those mid-roll ads.
Wasn’t expecting this viddd! Awesome vid dude!
I've been on youtube since it's infancy, I remember the star rating and at some point you couldn't upload videos longer than 10 minutes if you created your account after a certain date, oh yeah and no ads. It's crazy how much the site has grown.
It wasnt as commercial and mainstream back then. Also there were not a lot of arguing and half wit comments under videos.
I remember that , the good ole days
God i wish you were my prof at university. The way you explain things is just so easy to keep up with. Great video
Luke how you earn is your business;to me it is a privilege to learn from your lecture's and is pleased to learn what's going on.
Excellent video! This is something I’ve been curious about for a long time, but I never found such a concise, well-explained walkthrough.
This was interesting, and didn't know how this whole RUclips Channel system worked. Thank you for your video, because it was enlightening. I have been subscribing to many channels, from Tech Videos, Apple Product and News Videos, Adobe App Videos, and RV Full Timer Videos.

Dude extremely helpful. Hope you do more. Thank you for transparency
Wow didn’t know about to 10 min mark. Thanks for educating us! Please make more like this. Just subbed!
Thank you this was very very enlightening and I always wanted to know. I always make it a point to at least watch through to at least one one ad for any video that I get at least some information or entertainment from
My man Luke. Always great content. Nice to see you staying humble and giving some transparency. Keep it up man, you’ll be hitting double coma views in no time!
One of the most complete and clear video about RUclips monetization i've ever seen.
Great job!
It is a bit sad that in Hungary I’m getting 1million views a month, but only 5-600$. Good to see that you are doing better! Keep up the great content!
So interesting. I think you deserve more subscribers. Your content is always so good. Well produced, and I never watch your videos then switch off short way through. Never boring and I always learn something. I think your channel should have more subscribers tbh, it deserves it.
Starting a channel and trying to figure out how it works and what to expect realistically while building a following. This was super helpful!
Thank you Luke, very straight forward video. I really appreciate it. I am interested in further videos related to starting & growing a successful channel. I have slowly made it to 131 subs and always look forward to making better content and growing my channel. Thanks again.
Nicely done! Very informative 👍
Thanks!
Thumbs up and Thanks for your honesty!

I just found this video, it's been a bit more than a year and you have 181k now! How crazy! Good job 🙂
Amazing vid. I’ve been curious about this subject for years. Thanks !
And we made it happen! Stumbled across your channel, going from Jenna, Louis, Snazzy.
Like you, I’m also a content creator, and this video explains very well our reality, my goal is to generate enough revenue in order to pay a salary to my mom because she doesn’t work . Keep uploading these amazing videos dude!

what is it called? pls tell me! :D
First time watching one of your videos. You seemed likable and I enjoyed your content.
Thats an eye opener, i didn't realise the revenue was so high. Great channel. Keep up the good work.
This was refreshingly transparent, Luke! Thank you.
Being open about your RUclipsr journey, is why I will subscribe to your channel. Well done Luke !
I subbed. Refreshing to see someone honest and open about a subject that most creators avoid. Even many corporations and Fortune 500 companies will at least give a snapshot about their profits. I don't think it should be required, but ppl clearly usually don't bring it up because they don't want their subs to REALLY know how much dough they're rolling in.
What a great video, man! I didn’t expect this kind of info from your channel, so thank you for doing this!! Really helpful :-)
Excellent presentation on the business model for YT Reviewers. More!!!!
This is probably the most in depth video about youtube ad revenue I have ever seen. Very informative, really shows how some of the major channels can make big money and even at "only" 50k subs you can still be sustainable!
Do you also make money if someone has RUclips prime? I was wondering cause i have prime just to not see ads. Thanks 👍
I as well have Prime for that very reason.
You mean "Premium"
Yes, it shows up as separate revenue; if it didnt pay creators that would probably cause a pretty big outrage!
@@JasonMolter you be correct lol
Use brave browser for no ads
I was gonna buy a iMac 09ish then look on youtube and found this guy out, pretty good I most say, fun to watch. more iMac from the past please that would be nice Luke Miani
Great job Luke. I didn’t even know money could be made on you tube. Thanks!
Alot of people that made a following and good content on RUclips make a decent living on it. It a long journey to it.
Watched all the way through very helpful, keep up the good work.
Thank you for being openly candid! Cheers bro
Gotta say, I enjoy your videos as you are clear and concise without being dramatic, Great work..

What a great informal video. Thank you so much for this. Always been something I've been curious about and as someone who's been contemplating a channel as a future job, this made my decision easier.
As a brand new content creator, this is great info. Thank you so much!
You deserve more. Fantastic channel, very professional and certainly a “go to guy” in this field.
Thanks for this! I have been wondering this for a long time! I enjoy your videos Luke!
Great Earning my friend😉
Luke as always your video is great and very useful. I just want to say Thanks for being so honest with your followers. Watching your videos is such a pleasure.
Thanks for being a nice guy👍👍👍👍
It's nice to have some insight in this as a viewer. Helps me understand why ads are at certain places.
You are the first guy on RUclips who I've seen is so transparent and honest. Great video mate! Please make more of these!
Thanks. I had a basic knowledge of this and had figured some of it out myself. But this was a really clear explanation. I have a much better understanding now. Cheers.
Thank you for your candor Luke. I am excited to see what could potentially happen from working hard and smart for a few years. (:

The most honest video I’ve seen on monetization. Thank you.
I think this is the first time a youtuber that i've come across has explained this so well and with so much transparency, keep up the good work, looking forward to more content.
I have watched so many videos on "earnings from RUclips" but this is by far the most understandable and short and open one!!!!
appreciate the openness on this topic. I understand the struggle to 1000. I want to make good content like you, hopefully I will get there at some point. Been at 262 subs for a while.
Ians Tech Not anymore 👍🏻
Cam Bar thank you!
Great video!!! Respect your transparency, awesome that RUclips lets you post the analytics. Truly appreciated, thank you Luke.
I would just deactivate my adblock when I watch your videos. Not only for your informative and clean videos but also because of your personality.
Wish I could like this twice. Thanks for sharing! Awesome and helpful channel!
Great content! I've also been really curious about how the monetization on YoutTube works. I know there are a lot more factors, but this is really helpful. Thanks Luke!
Thank you for being so honest and chilled about this topic.
Hope to see more vids like this soon.
This helps alot! In a small youtuber rn but have grown over 100 subs in 2 weeks and am trying to make this my future job. Its a bit confusing but you helped alot!
Thanks Luke. I'm currently planning some growth strategies for my tech channel and I was wondering when I'd be able to take it full time. This helped a lot.
Very good video. I enjoyed the mid roll advert...I’m just beginning the RUclips journey very informative. Thanks!
pretty good video about this subject. First of its kind in all the various tech channels out there. Yeah looking forward to your next one. very educational and informative.
Yes this is quite eye opening and it makes the most sense. Thanks for your break down and your honesty. By the way thank you for all of the work and effort as well. It has been quite educational for myself to learn more details about Macs as a whole so thank you. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the information Luke. Keep up the great videos sir.
This was very helpful. Thanks and keep up the great work your doing.
I found this video through RUclips recommending. I always watch adverts. Great informative video. 👍🏻
