So… how much money do YouTubers actually make? 💸 In this raw and honest video, I break down the truth behind content creation in 2025. If you’ve ever dreamed of being a YouTuber or influencer—or your kids are asking about it—this is the reality check no one talks about. From AdSense revenue to affiliate links, partnership deals, burnout, and filming on an old Toyota with nearly 300,000 miles on it… I reveal exactly what it’s like behind the scenes as a full-time creator with over 50,000 subscribers.

Whether you’re searching how much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views, or wondering how to make money on YouTube without millions of views, this video gives you the full picture.
