With 5,000 Subscribers - Youtube paid me $2,698.61 in 1 Year! (2024)

How Much money did YouTube actually pay me as a small Youtuber in the last year? In this video, I break down my Youtube monetization journey, the money, the analytics, and the small creator/influencer (jk) side hustle of youtube monetized. I open the analytics door and talk about all my numbers. Can you really make it on Youtube as a small content creator? YES! But, Is Youtube really a passive income that you can do as a side hustle income stream to make more money? In this video, I reveal how much Youtube paid me in my first year of being monetized (pre-tax) - how I did it, how long it took, whether was it worth it and exactly what my earnings were.

*Before y'all come at me, I just wanted to share my experience, I don't want this to come off braggy or anything like this, I'm just stoked about it and I think Money should be talked about more broadly.
