Hi Teppo! I see the dates on the page, but not the hours. Can you please clarify as I live in China, and I'd like to check if I could join the live sessions regardless of the time difference? Thanks!
@@TeppoHaapoja Argh!! This time slot definitely won't work... 😂Can you consider offering an early session in the future, like 8-11am Helsinki time? You could reach an Eastern audience (Asia, Australia, NZ...). Maybe you can publish a poll in your next video? You can definitely count me in!
67.7 from brand deals and 61.8 from the rest so its more than half. going deeper on brand deals would probably be a good idea i agree. how you work your way up to that as it seems like this is the most important piece to becoming a creator, struggles you had in the beginning anything
Good stuff dude! Really appreciate the breakdown of each specific stream of income. Every penny of the money you've made is certainly well deserved. Stoked to be in the next cohort for Creator Autonomy!
Thank you for your openness and honesty. It really helps us tiny Creators, and I think the RUclips ecosystem in general, when we have people like you who share truthfully what the realities of this career are like. this may be one of the few workplaces that men and women can earn equally. Thank you!
It’s really fun to have followed along on this journey since you where «working for Matti» and then went solo doing your own thing :) Looks like I’m reaching 1k subs this year and then a new chapter begins for real, hopefully someone will pay you to swing by Oslo again for a talk, last time was fun and inspiring :)
@ Sure is :) Now I just have to try and get those final 250 subs AND 1800 watchtime hours within time hours within the next 70 days, before april, or else I’m going to loose about 1000 of my watchtime hours from april last year when my Dji Mic 2 and Davinci Resolve Speed Editor videos took off a little bit. Those hours are gone early april this year, so I’ve just released a challenge video a couple of days ago, and I’m working on doing at least one video each week, hopefully 2, for the next 10 weeks (which is approx 75 days) to see if I can raise the watchtime hours enough by being super consistent - it’s gonna be a fun experiment no matter if I do better or worse than the goal I’m aiming for, because I’ll have 10-12 (or more) new videos on the channel for viewers to enjoy - and if that doesn’t work I’m gonna have to consider going «Full Neistat» for a while ;)
Appreciate the honesty man! My goal this year is to get up to $2000 per month from RUclips. Definitely going to be taking stuff from this to help me get there 🙌
Godd video Teppo. I am using your Lut’s in all my videos, and also LOVE the Creator Autonomy round 2, so I dont regret being one of the incomes this year😂
I've been following your channel and only watch a few youtube filmmakers and you always hit it out of the park! You always deliver great information, are you reading from a prompter or you have bullet points you memorize... either way it comes natural. Keep going Teppo!
In my opinion your channel is really underrated when it comes to the value it provides to people like us who are trying to follow a path. Always been great to watch this channel. Best wishes 🎉
The amazing part is "how" I even found your page and journey... for me it started about 5-7 years ago watching Casey Neistat, who then introduced me to Peter McKinnon, and then your brother Matti, and then you!! RUclips IS a community for sure, and I keep calling it my University because I just keep learning.... so Thank you Teppo!!! And thank you for the inspiration to keep trying new ways in my life... hope the home build is going well... Regards, Mark
Oh wow, I love your transparency! May I ask, what kind of job did you have before you became a full time creator? Wishing you all the best for the future!
I like seeing channels succeed. I think success is very rare so when someone is doing well I can't help but to be happy for them. I'm happy when I upload, but RUclips is not as they hate it ...when I upload. Can't please everyone..so the saying goes.
@@TeppoHaapoja I would rather be happy for others.....the alternative would be to always be sad. There is already too much sadness going around...I'm sticking to happy as much as I can. Have a fantastic weekend!
@@TeppoHaapoja i am unsure how it works but i think the handling is via an organisation like Tspring or shop where they print your shirts and do shipping, handling and returns. but digital downloads make more sense. your video did help me with ideas for my other channel.
Teppo is a very well-connected creator with friends in high places within the youtube world, and he's been at this for years. I would consider his story a cautionary tale for any would-be youtubers out there. Your journey is going to be a lot longer, and your income a lot lower than him. Do it because you enjoy the process, not because you want to earn an income from your channel.
Haha i would say everyone has a very different journey. Some people grow way faster than me, and others slower. Its just about following your own path.
Some companies have affiliate programs that you just sign up for yourself like Amazon, but other companies you have to reach out and ask if they have affiliate plan.
As an entrepreneur (not content creator) in Sweden I guess this is ex VAT and before tax? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you have a similar tax system in Finland as we have I Sweden.
@@TeppoHaapoja I understand. You make approximately the same numbers as I do as a consultant in media industry helping broadcasters (you know, traditional TV ;-) ) with their tech, from small fixes to large systems. Have you got any ide of the number of working hours you put in?
I have YT people talk about US taxes. I have been a self employed for years. And when I make a few $. I pay taxes. How does it work for you? Do RUclipsrs know how it works? 🌴🌴Aloha

I can highly recommend this course. I learned a lot from Teppo👍

@@JulienBoulardMW Hey Julien, its 8-11pm Helsinki time, so it'd be 2-5 am for you.
@@TeppoHaapoja Argh!! This time slot definitely won't work... 😂Can you consider offering an early session in the future, like 8-11am Helsinki time? You could reach an Eastern audience (Asia, Australia, NZ...). Maybe you can publish a poll in your next video? You can definitely count me in!
@@JulienBoulardMW Its so hard to appease the whole world :D
You could always just stay up from 2-5am or 4 nights? ;)
I think we all need a brand deals break down video now! Great video dude!
HA what do you want to know?
@@TeppoHaapoja How do you print money with brand deals. That sum alone would be a dream salary (5000€) in Europe
@@tldr24-d1j You gotta remember that this was my company income, not personally. After this is company expenses, taxes etc.

@@TeppoHaapoja how do you approach them if not being approached, things to look out for and pricing 🤔💪
Great stuff Teppo! Love seeing you succeed, you’re doing an awesome job! Keep it up!
Thanks Jason! Hope this video was an inspiration and helpful
That was a lot of interesting information! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful
@@TeppoHaapoja It really was! That actually helps a lot to consider using similar strategy for my music channel / business.
Incredible job Teppo!! This is incredibly motivating for us. Smaller creators to see what’s possible.
Glad it was helpful!
Every dollar is more then well deserved! Keep up the great work and inspiring others!
All the best in 2025 Teppo!
Thanks Evan, you are too kind!

I was a full time wedding photographer! And before that, a Pastor 🙌
@@TeppoHaapoja Awesome! I can see where those photography/videography skills come from. Keep going man 🙌
Nice sharing Teppo. Interesting brake down. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead 😊

Yeah, the absolute best move as a youtuber has to be the personal products.. :)
Good video full of good ideas but did you consider merch ?
Dont want to mess with physical products :D

@ You are welcome
Good job man! This is all before taxes Teppo?
Yes! Thats a whole other story in Finland 😂
Yes! Thats a whole other story in Finland 😂
02:35 But how can we get one? Do we have to write to the company to give us one or they are finding us?
Some companies have affiliate programs that you just sign up for yourself like Amazon, but other companies you have to reach out and ask if they have affiliate plan.
@TeppoHaapoja Wow Thanks for the answer.
Very interesting, looking forward to gain some money in 2025. As I just begun this journey at the end of last year.
Nice man, Id love to help out. DM me on IG and we can talk more!
Are you editing all of your content?
Yeah, I do.
Damn near a 3 minute ad in the middle of the video
HA my friend, feel free to just skip ahead if it bothers you that much
Yes he needs to make $ too so he can keep giving free content :)
How about After Finnish high taxes and social costs etc.
Hahaha thats a whole other story :D
I actually dont mind because we get so many benefits from the taxes
@ i agree, benefits are great.
And then the Finnish tax authority takes 50% away 😭
As an entrepreneur (not content creator) in Sweden I guess this is ex VAT and before tax? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you have a similar tax system in Finland as we have I Sweden.
Yes this is just the revenue my company made! Every country has such different tax systems so I didnt bother breaking that down in this video.
@@TeppoHaapoja I understand. You make approximately the same numbers as I do as a consultant in media industry helping broadcasters (you know, traditional TV ;-) ) with their tech, from small fixes to large systems. Have you got any ide of the number of working hours you put in?
@@gunnarfernqvist4896 Im working pretty normal hours, 9-4pm. Try to leave time for the family!
@ Sounds good. Family is important. I have customers “giving” me job but I guess you have to be a bit more creative with how to fill your workdays?
That’s really good. I definitely need to get some multiple streams of income with my channel.
Its always a good idea!
so what you're saying is I have a chance :D
Of course!
I'm surprised it's only $6,000 in ad sense from RUclips. Some months alone, I made that much, and I have fewer subscribers.
Yeah it all depends on views, location in the world, your niche.
Also how many ads you put on each video.
I have YT people talk about US taxes. I have been a self employed for years. And when I make a few $. I pay taxes. How does it work for you? Do RUclipsrs know how it works? 🌴🌴Aloha
is this a video or an ad ??
Video like others 500000 similar on youtube
100k bought subs😂😂😂6k clicks per vid Nobody Should Take your advices😂😂
