I hope this video provides some insight on the behind-the-scenes of monetization on TH-cam, especially in the Art Niche. I would love to hear what you think in the comments.
As always, thank you so much for watching, liking, and commenting! I appreciate it! 💛
My suggestion is to use everything you can, from Patreon to YT and everything by selling pictures or prints, the only thing I think is that you shouldn't invest your money in the beginning, we'll save that for later when you become famous. 🤍😉🤍 Congrats again!
@@AleksdeArthaha you’re so funny about me being famous. 😉 I agree with combining TH-cam with Patreon and selling prints and all of that! 🤍✨
@@isabelledebionne
dare to believe my friend.. 🫂
Congrats! I just became monetized recently too! Keep Getting That Money!!!
@@AleksdeArt Yeah, I mean now that Patreon has a free tier it definitely seems worth at least looking into.
That's honestly amazing achievement, and thanks for providing your insight. Getting that first paycheck from TH-cam is one of my favorite memories. I still remember it, there was lots of emotions involved. If it wasn't for my consistency and hard work (and a little bit of Famester of course), I probably wouldn't have made anything.
Thank you so much! Also thank you for your comment. This is definitely an important milestone I will not forget. 😊
Congrats! As someone who watches a lot of TH-cam I’d say I dont mind creators putting ads in because if their content is good I feel like they deserve to be paid for it! I like knowing the creator is getting a piece of the ad revenue.
Thank you! 😊Ah yes that is a nice way to think of ads. Thank you for that, and thanks for watching!
@rachelh5641 I feel the same! But I also recently realized that YT also puts ads in the front and beginning of videos even if the creator is not monetized. I actually prefer if the proceeds go not only to YT but also to the creators, because they are building something and should be compensated for it 😊
Edit: I wrote this comment before even starting the video, and Isabelle also talks about YT putting ads on not-yet-monetized channels 😅 hehe (so glad you benefit from the ads now, though!)
Thank you for sharing, I am struggling to grow and now I learn a lot from you how to grow my channel🙏
TH-cam doesn't necessarily add the ads where you specify, if you don't add enough to a video, they add more in the positions they think is best. All the best!
hmm that's good to know! Thank you for sharing! I appreciate it.
I’m fine with ads. And I would love to see you make more money. Thank you for being so clear on the process!
Thank you! that’s so nice of you to say! Thanks for watching 😊
Congrats on getting monetized! I finally reach that threshold in April. Now let’s grow our channels! 😍
Thank you! Congrats to you too!! 🥳
thats amazing congrats! i cant wait to reach there im only at 275 right now hoping to reach 1000 by the end of the year and the 4000 hours but its been hard to grow hoping the right people find me!! praying fingers crossed
Thank you! Yes keep going you’ll get there.
Congrats! I’m hoping to get there by the end of July!
Congrats!
Congrats！So happy for you!
Thank you!!
Awesome! You made it finally. Congrats!
Thank you!
Great achievement! Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you!!

Many Congrats Isabelle, keep it up!!!
Thank you!!
Thanks for being so honest! I love your Vlogs and I would love seeing tutorials on graphite and coloured pencil drawings.
😊Thank you for letting me know - I’ll definitely put together a few tutorials on graphite drawings.
I appreciate you watching!
Congratulations !! ❤️❤️ im almost at my first 100 im so excited❤😍
Thank you!!❤️
Thank you for sharing your progress . Congratulations! I started my TH-cam channel in 2020 and have recently been posting every week. I have seen the views go up and it does make a difference how often I post.
Thank you! Yes, I really think consistency is a big part of being successful on TH-cam. Best wishes!
You showed up on my home page. I am a small channel just starting 1 month ago. I enjoyed watching and subscribed😊!
Thank you! Congrats on starting a TH-cam channel! That’s awesome! 😃
Congrats Isabelle🎉🎊❤️🥰😘.
Thank you! 😊
Wow this is so relatable, THANK YOU! I’m not monetized yet but about 300 watch hours away. I’ve been doing this for 10 years so I’m anxious to say the least. I hope I get that one viral video to take me to 4,000 watch hours!
I’m glad you enjoyed this video! You’re so close.. I wish you the best!!
@@isabelledebionneit still feels soo far away when my watch time only goes up by about 5-10 hours per day 😅 but I’m gonna keep trying!
Congratulation’s. You’re right, this is hard work. Good insights thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Dear Isabelle, congratulations on this milestone! 🎉 I really like your videos, so when TH-cam suggested me your videos again, I subscribed. 😊 I am also okay with ads in the middle of videos that are >15 mins. I also don’t like it when a 10 minute video has 5 ads and all of them are not skippable. I like your idea of making tutorials. It would be nice to learn how to draw so good like you!
Thank you! 😊 I appreciate you watching and subscribing! Also thank you so much for your feedback!
Congrats! I hope to get monetised one day too. Commenting to help support your channel growth 😊
Thank you! I appreciate the support. Wishing you the best!
Congratulations 🎉. You gained me as a subscriber 😊. Lovely channel!
Thank you so much! 😊
Great video. Keep posting. I followed.
Thank you so much!
I can totally relate! I have a math tutorial channel and just got monetized but it's definitely slow going. It's so nice to see other people at the beginning of their journey with monetization! It keeps me going for sure! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing! Yes it's definitely nice to see other people on the same path. I hope you get to see more money coming in soon! Thank you for watching!
Well done always a good achievement
Thank you!
Congratulations on reaching monetization! And thanks for explaining how TH-cam "works". I don't really mind ads at the beginning. I quite like your vlogs, and tutorials on drawing with graphite pencils would be great! Merci!
Thank you! I hope my explanations made sense… Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m adding graphite tutorials to my list of future videos!
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you!
I’m glad When I see videos like this come across my timeline suggestions!This is great insight. And You are really relatable. Hopeful can use this information to help my channel get past the beginner stage😂. Congratulations on your growth!!
Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you found this video insightful! I appreciate you watching.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing your journey! Personally, I think ads in the middle of a video can be disruptive. I will also do the same as you - one ad at the start and one at the end, once I get monetised.
Thank you! 😊 thank you for your feedback on ads! I hope you get monetized very soon. Thanks for watching!!
Congratulations, that’s my goal too I’m at 273 now. I wish my videos can go viral.
Thank you! Keep at it, you’ll get there. Best wishes
WOW 🎉🎉 congrats I get encouraged when see someone who is monetized as a small TH-camr who is not yet monetized. I get hope that with consistency and determination one day I will also celebrate
Thank you!😊 Keep going, you'll get there!
im on the same boat
Had a look at the channel. as a potential viewer I hope you don't mind some feedback!
I think the thumbnails are what will be holding you back. They look like a PowerPoint presentation that you might get at a meeting at work, and I think few people would be drawn to that in their spare time. Perhaps some images, something more dynamic may help. Best of luck!
@@theTerriberg thank you for the advice
@@theTerriberg Thanks for sharing! I appreciate your feedback and suggestions. I agree my thumbnails are not the best...
The stickers on your laptop are so cute!
Thank you! I designed those last year.
Congrats! I look forward to your videos every week. I think part of your success is that you’re consistent with releasing the videos every Tuesday. I enjoy the content and I’m so happy to see you show case the beautiful city of Milwaukee!!!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying my content. Thank you for watching!!
Great Video Isabelle!
Thank you!
Well done Isabelle - Its a longer journey and there will be highs and lows - but you already know that. The art of creating engaging videos is I think the key. We have to wear a lot of different hats and each 'hat' needs work. Your video skills will improve and you'll look back and see the difference over time. Just keep on having fun and let that shine through your art. The rest will find its way - Best wishes - Paul 😃😃😎😎
Yes! Thank you! It is quite the journey, not easy but fun regardless. Thanks for watching!
Good work!
Thank you!
Congrats on getting monetized 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!! 😃
Congrats! 🎉 I love that this video popped up! I am also on TH-cam documenting my journey to becoming a full time artist and just experienced my first video doing well after one year on this platform. It’s such a wonderful feeling to know you are helping to inspire other women to go for their dreams! Great work and good luck on your journey. I will be watching and cheering you on as well! ❤from Canada 🇨🇦
I also just hit my 4K watch hours on my last video so I’m excited to be monetized as well! 🎉
Thank you!😊 Oh that's awesome, I will check out your channel! Thank you so much for watching and for your support!❤️
Congratulations!!🎉 I just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to watching your videos!
I don't mind ads in the middle of videos, if the videos are longer, say 25mins plus, but I don't like them on shorter videos. I really enjoy all your content but I'd probably say vlogs were my favourite 💜
Thank you, Maryann, for your feedback. I appreciate it! 💜
Congratulations 🙌
Thank you!
I’ve watched so many of these and it’s nice to finally see one in the arts genre! I am a photographer so while it’s cool to see all the vlog stories I hadn’t seen any artists make this kind of video! Thanks!
Thank you for your comment! I hope this was helpful. I appreciate you watching!
Congratulations ❤
Thank you!
Many many congratulations 🎉
Thank you!
Congrats my friend!! 🤍🤍🤗🥰
Thank you!! 🤗
Great vid 😊
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I love your channel! Adds don't bother me... Everyone need to be paid ;) Can't wait for new tutorial :) All the best:)
Thank you so much! 😊
Subscribed as a token of appreciation.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations!
This is your best moment by far! Initial growth is hard and slow, but consistency definitely helps and gives rewards. Good luck!
For me, I remember it took 7 months and then the growth slowly increased.
Thank you! Also thanks for sharing your experience. It's always so interesting!
@isabelledebionne Aways welcome! You have got a very unique and interesting content. Keep it up.
i cant wait for the growth to increase for me too!!! its been hard to grow but im trying to stay focused and not give up
@@Kaurcreates22 Don’t give up! It takes time but it’s worth it I think.
Congrats❤ from kenya
Thank you!
🎉 TH-cam team make this video go viral 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations 👏👏👏
Thank you! 😊
Great video 🙂
Thank you!
Thank you! I'm running my TH-cam channel too it's about amigurumi and it's in Spanish, so I don't expect to have a lot of money from it, but I'm enjoying making videos. I made the subscribers requirement but im not getting the watch hours yet. I think what helped me to reach the subscribers requirement so relatively fast is how niche down I am. The majority of channels in mi niche talks all about crochet, but I'm only talking about amigurumi. Also I'm able to publish 2 videos pee week, a vlog and a thematic video.
Wow that’s great you’re able to publish 2 videos a week. Yes I think having a smaller niche is probably an advantage! Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! Best wishes
Congratulations!! You got it ! 👏👏👏
I'm also trying to do the same ! Very happy for u!!
Thank you! You can do it too!
Congratulations for being real.....so real. All the best. ...and add more ads slots in your video, You tube doesn't use them all anyway
Thank you!
Well done.
Thank you!
You are so cute and was an honest video. I really liked the whole thing😊
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
That's honestly a great achievement, and thanks for providing your insight. Getting that first paycheck from TH-cam is a dream millions are carrying right now! Keep growing!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations.
Thank you!
It was great to get this behind the scenes look at your earnings. I have TH-cam premium so I don't see any ads at all.
I’m glad you enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing. I guess that’s one way to avoid ads. 😃
Thanks for watching!
happy for you, greetings from dominican republic. firtst thing you need to work is the miniature, try using at least 2 colors in ther letter of miniatures, also try to think in better titles
Thanks! and thanks for the suggestions.
Congrats on your milestone. I have had a similar journey but I'm sadly disillusioned with it all! I thought about a Patreon etc but to me it just seems to lead to more work and deadlines. Like you I put about 15+hrs into my videos (Irish history) for little reward. I will keep posting but only as a creative outlet. Sorry for the negativity but I thought I'd share my honest experience.
Thank you! Thank you for your comment. I don’t think it’s negative, maybe just realistic. You’re right a Patreon page would add more deadlines and content to create so we’ll see. Thank you so much for watching!
thank you for your insight, i wish i can get monetized soon. i will keep posting i wont give up
Thank you for watching! Best of luck! Keep going!
Congrats ..
Thanks!
Good sharing 😊
Thank you!
Congratulations on getting monitzed, it's not easy.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations! I am still working on becoming monetized. The amount you earned is disappointing, but I hope that it continues to grow exponentially..
Thank you! 😊 I think it will but I agree so far the earnings have been disappointing. I could make more money by adding ads inside my videos instead of just before and after but I don’t like interrupting the flow of my videos. I wish you the best on your journey to becoming monetized! Keep going!
congrats thats amazing!!! thats my goal too im at 275 right now hoping to reach 1000 and the 4000 hours but its been hard and sometimes i want to just quit but this is my dream so im hoping the right people find me and help me reach my goal!!! 🙏❤
Thank you! You'll get there. Keep going!
Congratulations, it's not an easy journey 🎉😅
Thank you! It definitely isn’t an easy journey.
Off topic but I love your apartment. It looks really sweet and cosy ❤
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for your transparent sharing and authenticity Isabelle.
Having commercial breaks on videos is definitely annoying as a viewer.
But as a TH-camr myself, these ads are unfortunately one of the available sources of income, and it would be a shame not to take advantage of them. Even more so considering the time and effort we put into producing a video (I'm talking, of course, about the creators who do everything themselves).
So my advice, if you don't want to make your viewers' experience unpleasant with the frequency of ads, would be to keep placing the ad at the beginning and end of your videos. And maybe simply add one in the video, after you've teased an important piece of information that might interest your audience. However, the fact that we can manage the timing and number of ads is still an advantage.
In conclusion, I think it would be a real shame to deprive ourselves of a return on the investment of our time. I'm convinced that if you're genuine, your audience won't be frustrated by 10s of ads :)
Thank you for your feedback and suggestion, I really appreciate it! I agree that I’m losing an important return on investment (soo many hours of work as you can probably relate). I like your idea of adding one ad strategically placed in the video.
Congratulations! I was monetized after 8 weeks, but I haven’t earned much. My 1 year anniversary is soon.
Thank you! Congrats to you!
Nicely ❤
Thanks!
I didn't know that TH-cam starts to put Ads on videos before you get monetized. That's really interesting to me, because I thought it would happen at the same time as you get monetized. I am not monetized yet, because I need to be more consistent, but I know how hard it is to make a lot of videos with a fulltime job. Don't give up!
Yeah that was a surprise to me too when it started right around 500 subs. Thanks so much for watching!
great Tips
Thank you!

Thank you for subscribing!
Danke!
Thank you so much!! That's my first Super thanks ever! I really appreciate your generosity! Danke!
Hello friend, new subscriber here. Fairly new content creator and was very interested in how you got monetized😊
Thank you for watching and subscribing! I’m glad you found this video interesting. 😊
I purposelessly waited to get to the end of your video just so I could get to watch the ads and didn't skip them.
I invite everyone to do the same because U deserve it.
Now I have a suggestion : you should place the final ad before you present the viewer with the link for your next video.
Because if people click to go to the next video there is no chance for them to view the last ad.
Wow, thank you! Also great suggestion! Thank you so much for watching!
I saw ads on my videos already the content is great
Congrats. Hopefully this video will give some revenue, you certainly can not live on 20 dollars. I hope to get monetized in the near future, but I think I will likely also get around 20 dollars, but I will spend it on craft supplies! lol
Thank you! I think with time the numbers will grow (hopefully!). Yes if anything it’s art supply money! 😄
Congratulations!! I wonder, do you get to choose what ads are shown?
Thank you! No, unfortunately I don't get to choose what ads are shows.
Thank you @@isabelledebionne. Congratulations again. :)
Ads in the middle don't bother me as long as they are placed at the right point. Like as you are switching topics, or at a definite point in an artwork. Things like that :) You are doing great :)
Good point! Thank you for your thoughts and encouragements!
Thank you so much for the info - john tenuto
Thank you for watching!
I like your plants
Thanks!🌿
Interesting fact: I don't watch art content but that specific video poped up in my feed
So your content is being shown to a diverse audiance haha
Interesting! Thanks for letting me know! Maybe it’s because this particular video is more business/money related than art related?
Congrats 👏🏻🎉 I hope my channel will get monetized soon 🙏🏻☘️
Thank you! You’ll get there! I wish you the best. ☘️
@@isabelledebionne Much appreciated ❤️
About ads, If the value in the video is super super good I don't mind 1 ad if it's 20-30 minutes. I actually prefer sponsors from creators I trust. You make more money and I discover interesting services
Thank you for your feedback!
I would prefer to insert sponsorship ads in my video from companies/products I believe rather than random ads placed by TH-cam. Hopefully that time will come. Thanks for watching!
I hope one day I will get Monetized
Keep going!
@@isabelledebionne Thank you !
Just now got my 200th Sub after commenting here.
Your channel seems to be lucky charm for me 😇
Very good can I edit your video 😊
I’m going to continue to edit my own videos for now. Thanks for offering.
Yes, ads are not my favorite which is why I pay YT every month for no ads. However I an just starting my YT creator relationship!
Thank you for watching! I’ve had a few more people say they pay for YT premium to avoid the ads.
I noticed that you also have an online shop (theough your newsletter) where is that?
My shop is currently closed. I plan on having a shop update in the fall…
Hey Isabelle , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
