You won't believe what YouTube paid me for some of my videos.

I've been a YouTuber for almost ten years now.

What started as a desire to share my goals and habits with others has transformed into a platform comprised of 1,200,000 subscribers.

It's an incredible feeling to know that my content has impacted so many peoples' lives.

In this blog, I talk about how much YouTube paid me for 1,000,000+ views on my videos.

YouTube has been a great stream of income for me.

To be honest, I wasn't aware of how much YouTube was paying me for views until recently. I don't like to get caught up in the analytics of my channel because it takes away from my purpose, which is making an impact on people's lives.

If I get too wrapped up in making money for my YouTube videos, it shifts my intention. I end up feeling disconnected from my passion. Nonetheless, I am grateful for the money I've made on YouTube.

I first started on YouTube before YouTube even had an advertising feature on its platform. Over the years I've been witness to how YouTube has grown. Advertisers spend a lot of money to advertise on channels like mine and others.

On average, a YouTube channel can receive $18 per 1,000 ad views. This equates to $3 – $5 per 1,000 video views. A lot of YouTubers have taken advantage of this opportunity and turned it into a viable business.

Some YouTubers make millions of dollars per year just from the ad revenue of their videos. Jimmy Donaldson, the digital celebrity known as Mr. Beast, and other highest-paid YouTubers secured an estimated $211 million in total earnings from June 1, 2019, to June 1, 2020.

I thought it would be interesting for me to share some of the revenue that I've made from my videos. Also, for those of you who want to become YouTubers, I want to give you some tips on how to build a money-making YouTube channel.

Watch the video above where I share my computer screen and show you the top two videos that have made me the most money on YouTube!

Overall, I've made over $1 million in ad revenue from my entire YouTube channel. However, YouTube is not my primary source of revenue. I have many other business models that I'm involved in, but YouTube makes me a lot of money.

People who enjoy my content on YouTube tend to check out the other offerings that I have. Here are my top 2 highest revenue-producing videos on YouTube.

Highest Revenue-Producing Video #1 – She Makes $40,000 Per Month on Amazon at 23 Years Old

In this video, I interviewed my now wife, Tatiana, about her success on Amazon. After filming the video we thought that it may get 10-20,000 views. We've been blown away to see that it now has almost 6 million views!

This video has encouraged so many people to build an Amazon business. Even better, a lot of people have made a lot of money from this one video. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing that your content has changed people's lives.

The estimated revenue that I've made from this video has been $87,000 US dollars. This video didn't even have mid-roll ads, meaning that it probably could've made a lot more money. Keep in mind that if you're a beginner YouTuber, it's difficult to achieve this kind of money.

You can't predict which of your videos is going to go viral. Thus, a video like this is difficult to replicate. If you have a video that has over 6 million views, how much you make from it may be based on the topic and the niche of that video.

With a video like this one, more advertisers may be interested in the topic of selling on Amazon. Thus, they are willing to spend more money to advertise in front of it. The target market of these advertisers may be business owners or people who sell on Amazon.

I also publish a lot of self-development videos. I'm not publishing these videos to make money from. Rather, it's because I want to share impactful content that has the power to change people's lives. As a YouTuber, I share things that are relevant to my life and the lives of others. If I can make money at the same time, that's a bonus.

Highest Revenue-Producing Video #2 – How To Sell On Amazon For Beginners

In this video, I walk people through a step-by-step tutorial on how to build a profitable online business using Amazon FBA for beginners. I am a firm believer that Amazon FBA is one of the most life-changing opportunities available today.

This video has 2.1 million views and the estimated revenue that I've made from it has been $81,000 US dollars. Interestingly enough, this video performed better per view than the first video, since it has half of the number of views and only made $6,000 less.

But there's a danger in obsessing about the number of views you get on YouTube.

This proves that there are more opportunities for advertisers to advertise in front of videos like this one. I have a few other videos in the 5-figure to 1 million view range which is awesome. Keep in mind that certain topics will make you more money on YouTube than others.

Some of these video topics include business, marketing, selling on Amazon, investing, and/or real estate. Typically, a lot of advertisers will advertise in front of any videos that are in the financial sector.

However, if you are a YouTuber, make sure that you're not making videos solely for the money. I understand that making money is great. I could have made way more money if I had made that my intention, but it's not.

Ultimately, you want to create content on YouTube because it's something that can make an impact on someone else's life. It's something that is your passion. At times, I've gotten off track and chased opportunities for purpose of making money.

There's nothing wrong with doing this now and then. However, if you get too obsessed with making money from videos, you fall into a danger zone. This is the trend on YouTube – getting people's attention by resorting to anything that will get their attention.

Unfortunately, taking this path can compromise your values. Balance is key. Yes, see what's doing well so that you can further support people.

However, make sure you stay true to yourself. More importantly, always put other people's needs above your own. If you can do that, I trust you will be successful in your YouTube endeavors.

This is how much YouTube paid me for 1,000,000+ views on my videos.

Building a YouTube channel is hard work. However, the payoff is well worth it once you realize how many lives you've impacted through your content.

When I first started my channel, I would have never imagined that 1,000,000 people would be following me, but here I am.

Anything is possible if you stay consistent and add massive value over the long term. May your endeavors on YouTube be successful. You've got this!

Are you ready to start a YouTube channel?

A lot of people wait for the perfect time to start creating content on YouTube. However, there is no perfect time to start anything. Whether you feel like you're ready or not to dive into the process, I encourage you to just start. I've been a YouTuber for over 8 years now.

When I first started my YouTube channel I had no idea what I was doing. In the beginning, I was filming videos with my iPhone on a stack of books. I didn't have any fancy cameras or equipment, I just had a desire to share and serve. That was more than enough. At the time, I was in the early stages of my self-development journey.

I felt alive and excited for my future, in ways that I had never felt before. The life principles that I was learning and living by were transforming every area of my life. I wanted to inspire others to grow and evolve. That being said, I didn't start creating video content to make make money off of people.

However, fast forward to today and my YouTube channel has helped me build a multi-million dollar business doing work that I love. If you have the desire to impact millions of people through your content, YouTube is an amazing platform to do so.

Read on to get our advice on how to start a YouTube channel…

If you are just getting started, congratulations! This is an exciting journey. What we love about being YouTubers is that we get to add so much value to people all over the world. It also provides us with a unique opportunity to grow and develop ourselves.

As a result, we can add even more value to our audience. Before you get started, it's important to understand that building a YouTube channel is a journey. In the beginning, it can feel disheartening. You may not get any views from the videos that you publish. This is a part of the process.

YouTube rewards consistency. It's a game of momentum. If you are consistent, over time your channel will gain more subscribers and you will develop relationships with your viewers. It's all about figuring out what people want and what they respond to. Eventually, one of your videos will take off and your channel will grow exponentially.

In terms of the content itself, figure out what your niche is and what you are going to offer people. Keep your videos short. In the beginning stage of building your channel, people don't know you well enough yet. Thus, they don't want to give you 30 minutes of their time. Deliver on whatever the title of your videos is.

People appreciate it when you get straight to the point.

Before Tatiana and I create video content, we like to study other peoples' YouTube channels that are similar to our niche. Doing so allows us to determine the kinds of video topics that are performing well. Keep in mind that the goal isn't to copy other people's videos.

You're merely getting ideas. Every successful YouTube video starts with a great topic that others' are interested in. If you're putting out videos that people don't care about, you won't succeed on YouTube. It's not about you. Once you build up your audience you can create longer videos. At that point, your subscribers will have an interest in learning from YOU.

YouTube Tips and Tricks

First and foremost, we recommend that you film your videos in bulk. Once you record one video you will be in a state to record more. You will be more talkative and articulate. I like to take half a day to record a few different videos.

When it comes to your thumbnails, you want to make sure that they are high-quality. You could have the best video on YouTube, but if people aren't intrigued to click on your video, nobody will watch it. A great thumbnail entices people. Different thumbnails will convert differently on YouTube.

For example, a close-up thumbnail may work better versus one that is far away. Sometimes no text is better than text on the thumbnail image. You will figure out what is best through trial and error.

This is why we suggest that you create two thumbnails for each video and then split test them to determine which thumbnail is performing better. If you want to save time, you can hire a designer on Fiverr to design thumbnails for you relatively inexpensively.

The lighting is everything when it comes to creating videos. Natural light is the best for filming videos and taking thumbnail pictures. If you decide to film outside, be weary that noise can impact the quality of your videos, as well as the constantly-changing light.

Good quality audio is also crucial for engagement.

We use the Sennheiser EW 112 wireless microphone. Once you have the money to invest in a great quality camera, do it! We use a Panasonic GH5.

Finally, a powerful tool that we recommend that you use when creating your YouTube videos is TubeBuddy.

This is a great keyword research tool for determining which YouTube videos and their titles are performing the best. In turn, this will help you get your videos ranking higher in the search results, which will result in more views and subscribers over time.

Also, TubeBuddy helps you choose the best tags for your videos and allows you to split test your YouTube thumbnails. In my opinion, every new YouTuber should have this tool.

Make 2022 the year that you start your YouTube channel!

What stops a lot of people from starting a YouTube channel is fear. Don't worry about being perfect. All that matters is that you just start. Take action, stay consistent, and focus on making progress with every video you publish.

YouTube has transformed mine and Tatiana's life in so many ways. If you want to learn more about Tatiana and her work, I encourage you to follow her YouTube channel and Instagram where she shares her best tips and strategies for success with eCommerce.

I believe that everyone can benefit from starting a YouTube channel, whether you have the desire to build a business, improve your speaking skills, build confidence, or create a community of like-minded people.

The question is… are you ready to ditch your fear and share your message?

Have you been struggling to figure out how to grow your YouTube channel?

Dan Lok and I are back to talk about how you can do just that!

Social media is forever changing. However, the one thing that has remained constant is the growth of YouTube.

Research shows that 1.9 billion people visit YouTube every month. More importantly, every day, they watch one billion hours of video.

There is no better time than now to start creating YouTube content so that you can grow your business.

Watch the video below:

[smart_track_player url=”http://www.buzzsprout.com/9299/992564-plm-658-how-to-grow-with-0-views-and-0-subscribers-fast.mp3″ background=”default” ]

Do you want to learn how you can grow your YouTube channel to 1 million subscribers? CLICK HERE to join our FREE YouTube masterclass!

Dan Lok knows how to grow with 0 views and 0 subscribers.

He recently hit 1 million subscribers on his channel. In total, his videos have been watched over 100 million times across his social media platforms, making him one of the most followed influencers of our time. In order to fully understand how Dan Lok achieved this feat, it's important to learn about his story. He comes from humble beginnings.

Born in Hong Kong, Dan and his family immigrated to Canada when he was 14 years old in the hopes that they could create a better life. He didn't speak a word of English when he arrived. When he was a teenager his father went bankrupt and was forced to move back to Hong Kong. Dan and his mother were left in Canada.

When his father wasn't able to send money anymore, Dan became the man of the house. Because his mother had a limited skill set, he became the sole income earner for the two of them. Dan quickly became disillusioned by the education system, so he decided to drop out of college. Shortly after, he pursued a copywriting job with his now mentor, Alan Jacques.

That job ended up becoming his “million-dollar” year.

He learned everything that he needed to know about the business world. After 13 failed business attempts and a sheer determination to succeed, he is now a multi-millionaire celebrity entrepreneur. In our interview together, I pick Dan's brain about how to grow with 0 views and 0 subscribers fast. Here is a sneak peek of our conversation.

Can you share how you started on YouTube and the process that you went through in order to get your first 1,000 subscribers?

I uploaded my first video in November 2015. In the beginning stages, it was a really difficult process because I didn't have a strategy or a blueprint that I could f0llow. I told all of my friends about my channel so that they would subscribe to it. That's how I got my first 20 subscribers.

In the beginning stages, it feels really discouraging because nobody is watching your videos. You may only get a few views and one or two likes, if any, on your videos. Before you can start growing your channel, you need to understand how YouTube thinks and works. YouTube makes money by having people advertise on their channel. That's their business model. The goal of their platform is to keep users on YouTube for as long as possible. It's all based on watch time. The more videos that people watch, the more opportunities that YouTube has to run ads and make money from them.

Once I hit 100,000 subscribers I started to take my YouTube channel seriously.

In the entrepreneurial space, there are only a handful of channels that have over 100,000 subscribers. I knew that once I hit 1 million subscribers, I would be able to take my business to a whole new level. That being said, you always need to make sure that you are publishing high-quality content, no matter how many subscribers you have. If your content connects with people, they will come back for more and more. More importantly, YouTube will reward you for it.

How do you define high-quality video content?

Watch time is extremely important. If you have 0 subscribers and o views, do not look at your subscribers as a number. It's a horrible thing to do. Look at each subscriber as a person who is sitting there investing their time and energy into watching your content. They are the people who will tell their friends about your channel. In the beginning stages of growing your channel, you need to interact with your viewers.

Even to this day, I look through people's comments and comment back.

I want to know what my viewers want. From a content point of view, my videos are very edgy. I'm blunt and direct. I like to do things like challenge the education system. This is my signature style and it resonates with a lot of people.

Can you share some strategies for how to grow from 0 views and 0 subscribers?

In the beginning stages of growing your YouTube channel, people don't know who you are. This is why you need to upload YouTube videos on a consistent basis. Stick to a schedule and commit to what you are comfortable with. If you don't want to publish three videos every week, commit to one video.

When it comes to YouTube, you always have to be thinking long-term. Don't give up after six months. Rather, commit to building your channel over one or two years. The snowball effect takes time.

Secondly, track your upload time. This will depend on your niche. The day and time that you upload a video make a difference. I've learned that I get more views in the morning, versus the afternoon or evening time. Test it and find what works for you.

Thirdly, when you are growing your channel, you have to tell people to subscribe. Don't just assume that people will do so. At the end of every single one of your videos say something like, “If you like my content, click on the bell and turn on the notification to subscribe. Leave a comment below or a thumbs up.” That call to action is a must.

Are you ready to build your YouTube channel?

If so, Dan and I are doing a FREE YouTube masterclass where we will dive a lot deeper into how you can build your YouTube channel from scratch. You will learn how to create your content, grow your subscriber list, and actually make money from YouTube.

Now is the time to grow your business by leveraging the power of YouTube. Online video is the future of content marketing. The question is… are you going to take advantage of it?

Is it too late to start on YouTube?

This is a question that Dan Lok and I get asked all the time. The assumption is that because the market has become too saturated, the opportunity must be gone. Think again.

YouTube is the world's second largest search engine, after Google. Video marketing is taking over the world of digital media.

According to a report from HubSpot Research, more than 50% of consumers want to see videos from brands, more than any other type of content.

Do you have a desire to start a YouTube channel?

If so, don't wait! A lot of aspiring YouTubers continue to ask themselves the question – “Is it too late to start on Youtube?” Trust me when I say that it's not too late. There are a lot of people who are currently making a living from YouTube. YouTube isn't going anywhere. In fact, it is only growing in popularity.

However, don't be fooled. Just because the opportunity exists to make money on YouTube doesn't necessarily mean that it's an easy thing to do. If you go into the process with this mentality, you're only setting yourself up for failure. Nobody becomes a celebrity YouTuber overnight. Both Dan and I have spent years growing our channels to where they are today.

If you take a long-term approach and do the work to grow your channel in the right way, you will amaze yourself with how many opportunities you can create from YouTube. With 5 billion video views being watched on YouTube each day, it's fair to say that this is, by far, one of the best marketing channels to make money from. You can create a business around YouTube, or you can leverage the platform as a way to sell your products or services.

Furthermore, keep in mind that you don't need to have millions of subscribers in order to make money on YouTube. It comes down to knowing what your niche is and building a solid tribe who love your content and who relate to you. If you can learn how to do that, you will be successful on YouTube.

If you have the desire to start a YouTube channel, understand that it’s not too late.

However, before you do, Dan and I want to share with you some strategies that will ensure that you maximize your views, subscribers, and overall success. Here is a sneak peek of our interview together.

What are your thoughts on the belief that it’s too late to start on YouTube?

It reminds me of the story of a shoe company that wanted to expand their market. They sent two different sales guys to Africa. When both guys came back, the CEO of their company asked them, “Is there a market in Africa?” The first guy said, “The market is dead because nobody in Africa wears shoes.” The second guy said, “The market is booming because nobody wears shoes.” It's all a matter of perspective.

In the early stages of YouTube, people were making low-quality, amateur videos. However, today things have gotten better and better. For example, music videos alone are getting billions of views on YouTube because songs are being played on repeat. I think that YouTube is in its infancy. In my opinion, it's definitely not too late to start on YouTube.

I started doing business online back when people were using dial-up Internet. I was marketing on bulletin boards. Later on, I used Overture, which was the first PPC search engine. At the time, it took forever to load a simple web page. Back then people told me that it was too late to start on the Internet. People always think that they've missed the boat because they live with a scarcity mindset. People who make money on YouTube have an abundance mindset.

I started my YouTube channel in 2015.

A lot of people told me that I was too late to start on YouTube. In my eyes, it didn't matter to me. In my early videos when I had a few thousand subscribers, I made a public announcement that I was going to grow my channel to 10,000 subscribers. When I hit that target, I upped the number. Recently, I hit 1 million subscribers on my channel. When that happened, I made another announcement that I was going to hit 10 million. Watch me. I'll do it.

What is your mindset when it comes to competition on YouTube?

When it comes to creating wealth, you want to think global, not local. When you sell to the world, the world becomes your market. No one company or person can serve everyone. I always tell people to forget about competition and instead, think about collaboration. You need to understand that everybody is going to relate to someone in a different way. Each person is so unique. There are people who will connect and relate to you, solely based on your life story. We need more people on YouTube that are sharing and adding value.

Is it too late to start on YouTube? Hell no!

I hope that Dan and I have destroyed any limiting belief that you may have had about YouTube being a lost opportunity or an oversaturated market. There are still plenty of opportunities to achieve success on YouTube. It all comes down to making a decision. Don't wait and don't overthink it. Just start creating high-quality content and share your message with the world.

Here is a sneak peek of our interview together, where Tatiana shares how she built her YouTube channel to 50,000 subscribers:

When did you start your YouTube channel, how did you start it, and what has the journey been like for you so far?

I never wanted to start a YouTube channel, but Stefan pushed me and I'm really grateful that he did because video is so important in today's world. A lot of people want to start a YouTube channel, but before you do, I would encourage you to find your reason why.

I really believe that it's an amazing asset to have for a business, especially if you are just starting out. It's also a great platform to use for people that have a special skill or talent, or for people who want to break through the barrier of being shy.

At first, filming yourself on Youtube can be an overwhelming experience. I encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone and just do it. This is one of the best ways to conquer your fears.

I decided to start my YouTube channel when I launched my Amazon business. I used my channel to do tutorials on my Amazon products and slowly it started to pick up traffic.

In the beginning stages, it feels as if you are talking to yourself a lot because nobody is watching your videos, which can be discouraging. However, the beauty of YouTube is that there is a compound effect. Once I hit 1,000 subscribers, I jumped to 10,000 very quickly. Now that I've hit 50,000 subscribers and I am impacting more people, I love to share my content even more, because I feel like I've created a real connection with my audience.

I started my YouTube channel about two years ago, and I was lucky because I found my niche right away. It's so important to find your niche because there are a lot of people who are sharing content online. You don't have to be so unique that you are the only person out there who is producing a specific type of content, but you do need to find your edge or something that differentiates you from the rest.

I decided that I wanted to become an expert in something on YouTube, and for me, that was waist training. From there, my YouTube channel grew, because people knew that if they wanted to learn about waist training, they could go directly to my YouTube channel and find the information that they were looking for.

When you first launched your YouTube channel and weren't getting a lot of views, what motivated you to keep going and not give up?

Everyone needs to start somewhere. It takes time to grow a YouTube channel. You need to have a positive mindset and keep reminding yourself that it is a process. I don't like to give up on anything, so that was a big motivating factor for me.

A lot of people feel self-conscious or insecure filming videos on Youtube. Did you have any fears around starting a YouTube channel? If so, how did you overcome them?

For two years I hid my YouTube channel from my family and friends. I didn't want anyone to know about it. I was really embarrassed about my videos and about speaking on camera.

It wasn't until about 6 months to 1 year ago that I got over it and thought to myself, “Screw this. People are obviously enjoying my content and I must be adding value to them, or else they wouldn't subscribe to my channel, so why am I so embarrassed?” It all comes down to building up your confidence.

Making the decision to share my YouTube channel all over social media was a big steppingstone for me. Keep in mind that, the more subscribers that you get, the more accountable that you are to them because they rely on you to continue producing quality content. The more likes, views and positive comments that you receive, the more confidence that you get.

Do you have any tips for someone that is just getting started on YouTube?

Live YouTube videos rank higher in the search engine results, so I would recommend that you do more of those if you want to get more traffic and followers. The same thing goes with other social media platforms, like Facebook or Instagram.

Live videos are great because they allow you to actually engage with your followers and it helps to build stronger connections with people. When it comes to creating eye-catching thumbnails that look professional, I love using Canva and Pixlr, which are free online photo editing tools.

You also need to make sure that your description and your title are keyword rich. A simple way to do this is to go into YouTube, type in the keyword that you want to use, and see what auto populates. This process will help you rank in the search engines as well.

Lastly, if you are trying to build a strong online brand or make a name for yourself, you can actually take your Youtube videos, crunch them down into 30-second clips, and post them onto your Instagram page or a blog post. Not everyone wants to watch a full YouTube video. By doing this, you can appeal to all of your followers. I love recycling my content because it takes time to put together a video and you want to use as much of it as possible.

I hope Tatiana's story inspires you to start building your own YouTube channel!

As I mentioned, I wasn't able to answer everyone's questions in this video, but I did answer as many as I could. Below are some highlights.

Question: How do I find profitable YouTube niches?

There are two possible methods to finding a YouTube niche. Number one would be finding a niche that you want to build your business around. Every good YouTube niche has high demand on not only YouTube, but online in general. By that I mean people are searching for information to solve problems on your niche.

Often you can simply conduct some research and see which niches are popular. If you have an idea that comes to mind, search for it! Also keep this is mind — you want competition. COMPETITION IS GOOD.

A lot of people are afraid of competition. Competition is your friend in the online business world. The more competition, the bigger indicator that there is demand in your niche. If there is no competition, there probably isn't much money to be made in your niche.

Competition also gives you the opportunity for collaboration, and collaboration will allow you to scale your online business. When you partner with other YouTube channels with a following, you can share followers and cross-promote as a money-making strategy.

It's actually very easy to rank on YouTube as opposed to Google and other search engines. If you search for “Amazon” on YouTube you'll actually see I have three videos ranking high, which I'm very proud of. If you were to conduct the same search on Google, the same thing would never happen. YouTube gives you a chance to rank for things you can't rank for anywhere else.

Once you find your niche, you can also look at monetization options to make your niche profitable. That could be YouTube ads, affiliate marketing, physical products, information products, or apps and software. Make sure there is potential there to make money.

In any business, you need to make money to sustain the message. I wouldn't be able to do what I do if I didn't make money. That way I'm able to invest back into my business and continue bringing my message to you.

The best way to do all these things? Get into a niche that you enjoy. If you love what you're doing it's going to be very easy for you to continue to create content in the beginning, which is the most important time to create content.
