In this video I'm showing you the income I earned in AdSense via RUclips. I've been monetized on RUclips since November 2023 and hit my 1000 subscribers in October 2023. In this video I'll show you my RUclips analytics and what my income has been so far. As a bonus I'm not just showing you my first month of monetisation but also the second and third.
I personally love watching these kinds of videos because they absolutely fascinate me and I'm all for transparency so here's my take on monetization!

✨ About me
I'm an artist that focuses on oil painting on canvas. I paint a lot of self portraits and figurative art. Next to creating personal art I also work as a commercial illustrator and create commissions but am also a live event illustrator. On this channel I share my studio practice in the form of studio vlogs and I share my knowledge about my own art business and finances as a creative. If you're looking for creative art tutorials you can find them on my Patreon where I share monthly art lessons.

Super cool 😊 it's growing, you're doing awesome stuff 👏

Thank you Helen! 😎

[@DragonBlood-he8ul]

It still amazes me how little they pay in relation to how much work is put into these videos. Crazy.

[@whatsaroxy]

Haha true but still more than any other platform ;-)

[@SecretOfUnitedStates]

Good your CPM is good

[@drawrobot]

Have you noticed any increase in sales of your work because of the channel?

[@whatsaroxy]

Good question! And no I haven’t :-) The audience I have on RUclips are (I think, based on the comments) mostly artists or creatives, not collectors. However, because my video skills, storytelling, talking on camera etc. have become better I did do more client work regarding video.
