I usually avoid videos about “how much made from RUclips” but I really wanted to watch this because I feel so proud of you, seeing how much you’ve grown is inspiring
I’m so inspired by you! As a small RUclipsr it really motivates me when other channels hit milestones. I can’t wait to be monetized too! Gonna title that video “God Did It!!” ❤❤❤
Amen sister! I sure look forward to that moment for you. I'm thinking of starting a channel but don't know what to focus it on...I am only really good at a few things, and don't know how to tie that in to my channel. Nails, being encouraging, survived two narcissistic marriages, painting paint by numbers, reading...not sure how I can tie any of those in to a channel.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so proud of someone I don’t know 😭💕 I’m so insanely happy for you. You’re a breath of fresh air in the midst of drama and negativity on RUclips. Wishing you an abundance of success, you deserve it ❤️ Cheers to many more subscribers (& nice big Adsense paychecks) 😂😉🎉
Firstly, congratulations on the RUclips pay check. Your story is so inspirational and real. Secondly, I love your line of thinking. We’re starting to see so many content creators go back to traditional jobs and burning out on social media because when your passion ends up being a job, it’s a whole new playing field. I used to want to one day be full time on social media but now I really just want to improve on this craft and build a community of like minded people.
This is a great video. I am a super small channel and I have watched lots of "how to grow your channel" videos. This is the best I've seen. Your argument on stability vs volatility and also job vs hobby is really sound. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much! I am waiting for the viral moment. I received up to 80,000 views on one of my videos, but that came over a span of a few years. I am hoping to do that over a period of a month or more. I am monetized but I am only making a fraction of what you are making. Good job!
Also keep in mind that shorts pay a lot less, usually 1 cent at the lowest and I used to make around 14 cents per 1000 views on shorts but now I generally get 19 or 22 cents per thousand. I got around $140 for a million on shorts. The fluctuations are real. I was getting 10s of thousands of views every day only for it to plummet to only around 200 views. Now I get a few thousand a day and I don’t think I’ll be getting paid next month…
Congratulations on hitting the 1 million views! So happy for you. I love your channel. I have been following you since I found you some time last year. Thank you for being so honest and sharing to help others out here. I am a small, small Utube channel trying to get started. I am also a senior citizen navigating the world of social media. I am trying to learn and at times it can be so overwhelming. I took a break from it due to i was getting a little too obsessed with all the algorithms, etc. I dont want to lose myself in all of this social media stuff. I am also a full time caregiver to my husband and he and I have been sick in and out the hospital since the new year started till April. Things are finally starting to get better with both our health. So i am going to try my hand again at posting videos and learning from other experienced users. You been one of them!/ Much continued success to you. ❤🙏
What great insight! This is very encouraging for a small channel just starting. I'm doing it just to give back to my profession. Being monetized would just be extra. Congrats on your success!
This gives me hope. I’ve been monetized for a while but it’s hard. It’s almost like I’m fighting the algorithm. I love it and don’t want to give up but realistically I probably will. I invest so much time and energy into video but it’s barely getting views. Congrats on your success fam! Such a blessing to get paid for what you love ❤
same for me im not monetized for me the growth has been so slow i am only at 35 and dont get any views either, im trying not to quit but its hard after spending so much time and not seeing any great results 😭
You go girl! Thanks so much for sharing, I’m super close to being monetized and this makes me feel so much better. I only have one video that’s done about 100k views and I felt pretty discouraged about that, but this helped me realize I’m not alone with that! Keep growing girl! 🎉
You mentioned that about charts I 100% agree and you showed us that it does go up and down. This is inspiring to start a hobby channel. I need to face my fear and get on the camera more often. I made my first TikTok video of my face and me talking so I concurred one fear and now I’m ready to start my actual RUclips channel and make fun videos! It would be nice for the extra income but I’ll also get to enjoy showing what my family does and enjoy doing! ❤ thanks so much for the inspiring videos you post!!
So happy for you Kam!! I started doing content around last decemeber and I can already say that i don't want this, as you said, to be my only income. It's risky to predict now how my channel is gonna do but still, the important part of creating is to do it as long as you're passionated and happy. When it only turns into a money machine, you become a slave of always squeeze every inch of your energy, time and creativity to always perform. I don't thrive in that kind of environment so i'm not gonna push myself to that limit. I also have a job that passionates me, so for me having two things - besides my other hobbies - that i know i can invest is enough to be fullfilled. You're doing to great, I'm proud cause i've been following you for months now and it's always a pleasure to hear your insights xx
yes exactly! for me the growth has been so slow i am only at 35 and dont get any views either, im trying not to quit but its hard after spending so much time and not seeing any great results 😭
Cogratulations dear ...Im happy for you and you are giving us the small youtubers a spirit of not giving up❤..my prayers is to be monitised before December 😊😊😊😊
Congratulations. As a new RUclipsr I can say it’s not easy to attain so much. I am drawing inspiration from people like you and believe soon my hard work will pay off.
I've felt like giving up many times, but this video inspires me so much! I'm a new subscriber and I'm currently at 57 subscribers. I'd keep trying and put in my best! I hope one day, I'd make videos like this. Thank you for this! Subscribed!❤👍
for me the growth has been so slow i am only at 35 and dont get any views either, im trying not to quit but its hard after spending so much time and not seeing any great results 😭
Kamillah, I came across one of your videos at about 5 am this morning. I had never saw you before. And you were talking about the advice you took about making 100 videos. I have taken this advice to heart. I also originally struggled with when I should post. I originally chose Sundays because it felt right to me. Then started listened to everyone else. Thank you. I am inspired on my journey to 100 videos and to get back to my Sundays. Thanks!!!
I love that this is honest and more realistic! I’m an amateur artist and I want to post longer videos of the actual abstract process but I just keep self sabotaging lol. I want to dive in now and not focus so much on payment!
Congratulations! Although we are of different generations, I’m still inspired by you and your story. I have a new RUclips channel that is slowly growing, but I’m recently seeing a quicker pace. I am an elementary school teacher looking to retire in 8-10 years, so YT is a hobby right now and I’m not relying on it for an income. But my learning curve is high and I’m enjoying the process. Listening to your insight is very helpful. Thank you !❤
Thanks for sharing this video. I’m new at RUclips and it’s helpful to hear how it’s going from someone who hasn’t been doing it for ten years and who has an honest and authentic perspective. Congratulations on your success.
So happy for you Kamillah! I love the authenticity of this video, thank you so much for transparently sharing how much you've made on youtube since monetization. From a small youtuber, it's quite encouraging.
I just came across your channel. This is great information for a new youtuber like me. I just started with shorts...hoping to do a video like yours ...of my success soonest.
Great video thanks so much I most definitely would not do full time, I work in marketing for a Fortune 500 company but like you I would be doing this anyway and most definitely love doing it
As a small RUclipsr, I Appreciate your transparency! Gradually making progress but it’s true you don’t know what will gain traction for your channel. Still staying hopefully though 🙌🏿
It’s so smart to keep another income stream or two that’s totally seperate from RUclips. Social media is volatile. I’ve done it for 14 years and still work part time because the money fluctuates HUGELY and has nothing to do with views. It’s all about content topics and how much advertisers will pay - AND - even more so, your demographics. We make so much less per 1000 views in the UK than the US
patiently waiting for that day too, for me the growth has been so slow i am only at 35 and dont get any views either, im trying not to quit but its hard after spending so much time and not seeing any great results 😭
Just came across your channel and so glad I did :) I've been creating on TikTok and Facebook for awhile, but now starting RUclips seriously. What did you use to film this video on? The quality / lighting is AMAZING!
Such a great video as always! I love your transparency Kamillah and seeing how your channel is growing!! I’m working towards getting towards my first 1000 so this was inspiring!! ❤
Hello Kamillah, thanks for sharing. I noticed how you’ve tried to focus on a different type of niche other than the type that blew you up. Don’t you think,you should maintain this type of contents on your channel since a large chunk of your subscribers prefer these types? Just a kind suggestion And maybe, you can create a separate channel for the other contents
it is, for me the growth has been so slow i am only at 35 and dont get any views either, im trying not to quit but its hard after spending so much time and not seeing any great results 😭
thank you! for me the growth has been so slow i am only at 35 and dont get any views either, im trying not to quit but its hard after spending so much time and not seeing any great results 😭
This gives me so much hope especially since I just started my RUclips journey like a week ago and I only have 2 subscribers 😢 I’m hoping to gain more and get monetized too ❤️
I’ve only uploaded just a few videos because motherhood has taken over my life but I’m planning on being consistent this year and hopefully it pays off because momma needs that extra income badly
congrats on starting, for me the growth has been so slow i am only at 35 and dont get any views either, im trying not to quit but its hard after spending so much time and not seeing any great results 😭
I disagree with the no stability thing. There are tons of RUclipsrs who’ve been doing this for 10+ yrs with only 200k subs. They do other content creation as well in other platforms, but I feel like there’s some stability in this depending on how you manage your finances and how consistent you are
7:54 The average watch time is one of the things that discourages me from continuing to make content. I am overly surprised to see - as a thriving channel- yours look the same. Does this not bother you? Would you mind speaking on this in a video ? How to ignore it. I need a different perspective 😢
for me the growth has been so slow i am only at 35 and dont get any views either, im trying not to quit but its hard after spending so much time and not seeing any great results 😭
I feel like the goal isn’t to get paid by RUclips though. The goal is to get paid by sponsors, Patreon subscribers, and folks that buy your products.
Expecting from AdSense is really stupid...you can't make a living from only Adsense.
*_I_** subscribed to you at under 500 subs. Congrats I'm happy to see you getting this youtube money !*
I usually avoid videos about “how much made from RUclips” but I really wanted to watch this because I feel so proud of you, seeing how much you’ve grown is inspiring
Why do you avoid them? They motivate me.
I’m so inspired by you! As a small RUclipsr it really motivates me when other channels hit milestones. I can’t wait to be monetized too! Gonna title that video “God Did It!!” ❤❤❤
It will happen soon
Same here but it has been an real up hill battle. Felt like giving up ever so often but I'm still at it.
Wow, will title mine “God did it for me too “ ❤
Same.
Amen sister! I sure look forward to that moment for you. I'm thinking of starting a channel but don't know what to focus it on...I am only really good at a few things, and don't know how to tie that in to my channel. Nails, being encouraging, survived two narcissistic marriages, painting paint by numbers, reading...not sure how I can tie any of those in to a channel.
i personally want to have youtube as my fulltime job. i love it so much.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so proud of someone I don’t know 😭💕 I’m so insanely happy for you. You’re a breath of fresh air in the midst of drama and negativity on RUclips. Wishing you an abundance of success, you deserve it ❤️
Cheers to many more subscribers (& nice big Adsense paychecks) 😂😉🎉
🥹 tysm love!
Oh yeah true
Firstly, congratulations on the RUclips pay check. Your story is so inspirational and real.
Secondly, I love your line of thinking.
We’re starting to see so many content creators go back to traditional jobs and burning out on social media because when your passion ends up being a job, it’s a whole new playing field.
I used to want to one day be full time on social media but now I really just want to improve on this craft and build a community of like minded people.
This is a great video. I am a super small channel and I have watched lots of "how to grow your channel" videos. This is the best I've seen. Your argument on stability vs volatility and also job vs hobby is really sound. Thanks for the video!
It’s 😊
Love your transparency and tip for keeping it as a fun hobby! 🎉
Thank you so much! I am waiting for the viral moment. I received up to 80,000 views on one of my videos, but that came over a span of a few years. I am hoping to do that over a period of a month or more. I am monetized but I am only making a fraction of what you are making. Good job!
You are welcome 😊!
How you guys make viral videos ?
Also keep in mind that shorts pay a lot less, usually 1 cent at the lowest and I used to make around 14 cents per 1000 views on shorts but now I generally get 19 or 22 cents per thousand. I got around $140 for a million on shorts. The fluctuations are real. I was getting 10s of thousands of views every day only for it to plummet to only around 200 views. Now I get a few thousand a day and I don’t think I’ll be getting paid next month…
I agree with you! It should not be your only source of income. making it your only and main source will lead to burnout so quickly
I can’t agree more! 🤭
Congratulations on hitting the 1 million views! So happy for you. I love your channel. I have been following you since I found you some time last year.

@@stephaniejsmes8991 thanks girl!
This gives me sort of motivation. I’ll keep pushing
You are such a humble and classy lady. I wish you the best in everything you do. And Congrats on your growth ❤

for me the growth has been so slow i am only at 35 and dont get any views either, im trying not to quit but its hard after spending so much time and not seeing any great results 😭
you're so grounded and wise
I totally agree with you. One has to make some compromises on creativity and personal school of thought in order to make so much money out of RUclips
Yup!
Kamillah, thank you for sharing your journey 🤗🥁. May your channel continue to flourish 🎉🎈🥁
I agree 100% you kept it 💯 👏🏽

I think so many people get that one good check and they quit their job and end up working harder to chase that one video.
Thank you for the transparency!!
She is showing every steps

Thanks for the insight! Especially the putting the RUclips money in a totally separate account. 👍🏽
Thank you for sharing your journey with us and being really transparent, I'm looking forward to when my channel will get monetized ☺️
Congratulations! I can wait until my dream becomes a reality ❤

Great video Sis. ❤
Congrats
Thanks for sharing. I just subscribed.
Welcome🤗❤️
7:54 The average watch time is one of the things that discourages me from continuing to make content. I am overly surprised to see - as a thriving channel- yours look the same. Does this not bother you? Would you mind speaking on this in a video ? How to ignore it. I need a different perspective 😢
You're so pretty; i didn't even see how much you make
thank you but pay attention! LOL
for me the growth has been so slow i am only at 35 and dont get any views either, im trying not to quit but its hard after spending so much time and not seeing any great results 😭
