Some truth. If he was 100% honest, he'd talk about the CPM. It's more like $4-$7 a view. He did say he won't talk about it... That's because he gets more than a 300k channel. Jesse from PVP and I forget the other big vlogger talked about in an interview.
I remember when I was a kid and my dad used to tell me to get my fat ass off the computer since it's a waste of time and then I went on to become a senior software developer at Microsoft making more money than he ever did by a factor of 10x. Now I have a 700,000+ subscriber TH-cam channel doing what I love and it's paying the bills. The only thing I would add to this video is that the more TH-cam comes saturated the more SEO drops and money earning potential does also drop along with it. The more people that do TH-cam the less money there will be to go around and the harder it will be for new people to be noticed. That being said though nobody should ever give up on their dreams and if they are legitimately passionate and want to do something they can succeed at it no matter what it is. Passion is the driving force behind success, it's not enough to just work hard. You need that passion!
I kinda disagree Barnacules. With every person that decides to create on TH-cam, there are 10 others who never do. TH-cam will keep getting bigger and the earning potential will keep getting bigger.
I'm 44, graduated with a film degree in 94. Never used it, and in my 30's started playing paintball. I invented a new way to film the sport, and today I have 25,000 subscribers, and 3,800,000 views on my channels... Just playing paintball. And I rarely make videos, but I have over 250 done so far. It is a TON of work, but I haven't paid to play paintball in the past year, EVERY game I've gotten to play for free because of my youtube "fame". It is a really fun second source of income!
You should keep posting videos man. Back in your days in the 90s, there wasnt crazy video software and the internet was still new. With all the info out there, you can do a lot.
Doing the math here, at this moment. You made 1,100$ telling other people how to make money from videos. That's really smart because, teaching people how to make money easily off youtube will gain a lot of views. See what I'm getting at? It's like selling a "Get Rich Quick" book. Then getting rich by selling the book. Very smart.
And it's only been one day. This video flew into my recommend list and I've watched nothing that would really put it there. By the end of the week this will probably be close to 3 mill and made him about $3k
+chris s exactly, I wonder if you tune has a pension plan or benefits. I'm all for TH-cam but how is our world going to survive if everyone just wants to be a youtuber.
Hey bud just wanted to say thank you! This was the most straight up and honest video about the potential of being a TH-cam creator. I dealt with everything you mentioned involving negativity and no one believing in what you're trying to do. And because of that I gave up about a year ago and just started getting back into it again recently. I'm not looking back anymore I'm getting better and faster at editing everyday. I'm going to either make it or break it now, that's it. Peace!
Made my first video last night, kind of shitty because the video i made before didnt record (Which would have been a lot better, this one seemed forced because it totally was) He motivated me as well !
Brendon Just keep making videos. Overtime they will get better. I'm gonna start uploading everyday starting August. Getting practice everyday will probably help.
+Brendon Keep up the good work man! Look at me i'm 12 and in 1 year i got 150 subs , i know i could already be at 1,000 but nowadays we're competing with Hollywood and Big Stars, but that would'nt keep me from stopping, noone can stop you and if someone pulls you down, pull yourself up and be the best you could ever be

This shit is hard man. To all of the creators who are stuck and not getting views, keep your heads up! It's not easy, especially when you are seeing no growth. But just keep creating and being yourself. You will find an audience, good luck!
The problem is EXPECTATION vs. EXECUTION. Most people come into this thinking they're owed something. The entrance fee is ZERO therefore you need to bust your butt to make something out of nothing. Successful YTers just make it look easy. Im having a blast with my new channel but man it's tons of work and WELL WORTH IT. It's my creative space and I think im on to something amazing. It's a combination of passion and execution that drives me. :)
Laark How? "just in case someone needed to hear it" isn't a bad thing, and I didn't reply to myself, or there would have been an @ and my username, it was just a 2nd comment addon that I wanted seperate from the first.
Army Strong Yeah, way too much negativity anymore, figured some positivity would be nice for a change. I know some people are going through a lot right now, like myself.
Very inspirational words, Jesse. My biggest dream of all is to be a TH-camr and Director/Writer in film. I have so many ideas I wanna put into film and such. I actually plan to do some web series' on my channel soon, one of them being a series I wanna release next year in October. A Horror Anthology series that takes inspiration off of American Horror Story, the Silent Hill franchise, and more. The series is called Legion of Horrors, and I hope for it to do well because it's something I've been thinking about a lot, and how I want to do it, what I want the monster of the first season to look like and be capable of, and more. This video further influences me to pursue TH-cam and Film as careers. It's something I have a lot of confidence and passion about. Thank you so much for making this video. It clears up so many unanswered questions, and I believe everyone needs to see this video, and when they do, they'll further understand how it all works, and they'll too get inspired. :)
He left one thing out though. He only gets payed 70 cents - 2 dollars on every monetized view (Aka the viewers that get ads in the video) not everyone gets an ad when they watch the video.
Mirich Teny you realize that was factored in right? you definitly do NOT get 70 cents to $2 for every monetized view, you get that per 1k views... thats also why he said certain months are better, because theres more adds being produced (higher add budget = more monetized views because an add that might only play 10k times/day in one month, is playing 50k times per day a different month, so more adds to select from, so more monetized views)
make a video about your boring life. other people with boring lives will watch to compare who's life is more boring. Ask people to comment about how boring their life is. people will watch the most unexpected things. Others will watch to either talk shit or because they don't believe the video is actually going to be about a boring life. Either way you're getting views.
You are one in a million. Making money on TH-cam is HARD AS HELL! I have one video that has 300,000 views but then all my others have like 500 views and I can't make a living off this site. It's great that you got lucky with your series but the majority of kids shouldn't focus on this site and should stay in school.
Naw, I'm good. I'm glad you believe in statistical improbabilities, but the majority of people can't make a living off of TH-cam and that's a fact. That's the reason why I do this for fun and have a job and go to school.
+NowAndBecauseTV no such thing as luck, only hard works in anything you want to do, so chase your dreams and never fucking quit that's how you succeed ain't no way around it💪💯
Your an inspiration man, i just wanted you to know that, you probably won't read this, but if on the off chance you did your so down to earth, no bullshit just truth and passion, i work 40 hours a week as a baker i start work at 4am and leave work at 3pm most days but i still manage to spend 20 hours working and editing a video once a week, its such a strain and hard work but seeing videos like this keeps me going. keeps me motivated so Thanks man. :) keep up your passion.
Planet Chucky I personally knew someone who worked 80+ hours a week at a convenience store; he bought a motorcycle, a ranger rover (leased) and went on a trip to Dubai, all at the age of 19, before he sadly passed away from a motorbike accident. He was one of the hardest working people I ever met; whenever I meet/hear about hard working people, I always get a feeling of respect and acknowledgement for them
+Bape thats tragic man :( i hope your friend found some peace and happiness with his bike and his trip to dubai, because if he worked that hard, he dam deserved it, I only have my girlfriend and my subs supporting me, nobody understands why I do TH-cam and strain myself, iv not even earned $100 yet of 2 years of hard work, but i still do it, because I enjoy making people laugh and I enjoy making content :) thank you for your respect
I’m trying to go full time, doing what is fun for me: mmos, rpgs, Puppet cringe comedy, mmo parody songs, graphic novels in video form, and having a blast, the snowball effect is real if you stay true to yourself. I’m still very small, about to hit 4k but that’s in 1 year of trying. Push guys! You can do it! Don’t give up!! Amazing times, great vid!
1. I've been on the fence about your psycho kid series but impressed with your dedication 2. Props for posting a video like this 3. I still can't believe people don't realize the simple mechanics and math of making money on TH-cam 4. Yes! This is an amazing time to be alive. To be able to make a living on your own with a few simple tools and on your own terms is amazing. 5. I will continue to watch your channel.
I agree, it is a lot of workand dedication. On my channel (not this account) I would be recording for like an hour then editing out fails or boring stuff or speeding up the vid at a certain point, adding music to it, then haveing to wait an hur for it to render, and another 20 min for it to upload. Then you need to add a title and then a escription with links to sites you may have used, then adding tags to it so its easier to find.... its alot and can be overwhelming at a young age.(14)
+Keith Hopkin You said allot there. But on point #3 you have to remember that most of the audience are children who have to have this broken down to them
You all don't realize that we can help each other to become millionaires. Everybody can subscribe to every channel and help everybody become millionaires.
Lol no. That would require almost infinite time which none of us have.... And then TH-cam surely would come out with a policy against thus making our time spent doing this useless. Good luck though!
this is so motivating, i do youtube for almost 2 years, since the last 2 months i have been uploading daily and livestreaming daily. I dedicate my life to it. 2 weeks ago i went viral with pokemon go and gained 8K subs. 400 views a video now but yeah i surely do see that it is possible. I will never stop. thank you so much for the advice. It reassures me of my career choice. I never comment about my channel but this is clearly imo a genuine comment for a video like this so delete it if you think it is self-ad but i mean it genuinely.
I made a couple montages in the past under the channel of F051, if you want to see :) created the montages for my personal stuff and ended creating an account (now forgotten lol)
I get quite a few videos 10+ mins with midrolls that do very well. Say 5K views - makes $20. (around $4 per) Yet out of those 5K, only like 2K are monetizable, so the CPMS are insane. ($10 per) Usually the range you mentioned is more accurate but it's applying to "Total Views" which may confuse viewers. If you get 5K views, chances are 50% aren't monetizable. (Mobile, other forms etc) Videos under 10 minutes get hit hard.. 5k may may $5-10.
Finally a video that 💯 and STRAIGHT UP!!! THANKS MY BROTHA!! Just started my own page highlighting in a humorous way skateboarding, Skateboard sneakers, skaters ETC etc
I've been wanting to do TH-cam since i was in 5th grade. I used to make videos and show my classmates but my teacher shut me down. I stopped doing videos and i just barely started making videos again. I just graduated highschool and im finally doing what i wanted to do. I don't know why it took me so long to return to TH-cam but im so happy i did. I decided to follow my dreams, yeah the money would be cool but for the time being i enjoy making the videos. Thanks for making me realize that this dream could become a reality. Having the job of entertaining others is what i want to do. Thanks Nuggets for making me realize that this dream is very very very possible. (:
do what u gotta do n youll make it happen i believe in u but if u ever need a laugh u should def check out my channel! I only make vids to bring people laughter n entertainment hope u enjoy! 1000!
you are so real and i love that. i started youtube 2007, deleted all my videos cos no one ever watched. if only i knew, to just hold on and keep doing it. i wish i had the knowledge and wisdom i do now. not giving up.
THANK U for motivating me to keep making videos but I know that I won't grow at all because I can't do much to get equipment but thank u for motivating me even when my family don't want me to but I want to do what I want because of passion
The problem is everything has been done on TH-cam by now. There's like a billion people trying to make it on TH-cam. So doing something no body has done is extremely difficult. Now years ago it was easier bc most were just watching, now all are trying to make it a job
You can say that about books, games, movies, etc. It's just about having enough vision and initiative to think about it. There's only 1 you and nobody else can exactly copy you.thats the beauty of YOUTube.
Unless you're planning to do vlogs, I can't see how it would be annoying. If you're pursuing gaming it's more about your personality. Or you could be those attention-seeking nonsensical prank channels. There's a lot of things you could do in your own way.
I would love to see a educational, or tip series jessie. That would help a lot of us small youtube channels struggling to get the right info, because there is a lot of false info out there. and it is hard to figure out all the right things a youtuber should be doing and what we should do and so on.
Kids, a film degree is about as useless as an arts degree. Jesse hit the jackpot. He's a very talented guy but the % who walk out of school and make as much money as he did is like winning the lottery.
I've wanted to do TH-cam as a career for the longest time - more than 5 years now. This was very inspirational. I'll keep on keeping on :) Thanks for the video :D
good point, but the fact you're encouraging people to become youtubers if they're money driven we're gunna end up with youtube full of money hungry youtubers instead of people making videos because it's their passion. Fame/money/all the rest of it should be a by-product of someone who cares about what they do.
the beginning of his message is all about that and he barely touched the subject that you need content, without content that speaks to your audience, you will never get a break, so you will simply fail at gaining an audience... if you steal your content, you will simply be shut down like so many...
This doesn't matter. TH-cam is another profession. There are businesses that also start for just the money and they fail because of it. The same will be true of TH-cam creators that have no passion.
Most coolest Real Video I've ever seen. I have Lots of Big TH-cam Friends they all make Shit Tons of Cash i.e Roman Atwood, Dennis Roady,Crazy Russian Hacker (Tarus,) Tom Mabe , Scary Snow Man ,Furious Pete and more ... this is By Far May Favorite Video Ever! well stated !
That doesn't mean you're gonna get attention. I just hit 600 subs which I'm happy for but it is so difficult to get noticed. 600 is nice and all but when I look at other people, I'm nothing.
Your videos are decent but if you want your channel to grow you should do something that people want to see, like what's popular right now (pokemon go for example). A lot of people talk about Pokemon Go so you have to do something special to stand out tho
Cat Yeah, but it seems like vlogs tend to get the most subs and viewer base. I don't know of many successful channels that don't have a face cam other than like ASAP science..
Broo do me a favor, please make more of these videos especially on this topic! See if you have the time man it'll be much appreciated if you take ur time off 2 make more vids like this and believe me im not the only one that thinks thay
its just almost to a month i started monetizing my videos, and I have made $300 in a month, even when im sleeping im earning haha, thank you brother :D
Disable adblock on the domain of TH-cam, I was thinking about it during this video and I realized this is peoples job this is there living, so why are you taking away from that just because you don't want to watch an advertisement, especially when watching youtubers you love cause even tho liking their video is supporting them turning off adblock is supporting them just as much if not more
+Prevision yeah I know you can turn it off and that's why I feel bad sometimes. But at the same time the ads are still annoying, and it's not really my fault that Google can't figure out a way to still show them. And I only block them on my computer and I usually watch videos on my iPad so I still see ads
I never will disable add block becouse I never watch TH-cam on my PC. i play games myself I don't watch them when I'm able to simply start up a game and have fun i use my phone and I dont get adds on my phone luckily becouse if I did I would disable then i do not care for they're income becouse it's simply unfair. What about those people that bust they're ass for 800 dollars a month? Is this fair? Some idiot playing games online gets paid 100k a guy works his ass off doing physical labour for 8 hours please. As soon as the website falls they fall with it. And before people start calling me a kid I am 16 and just finished freshamn year of a 4 year program Mechanical Technician in Europe. good day
Top 1000 youtubers make 100k+ salaries. Compared to 7 billion people on the planet, 1000 is not a lot...... You have to be extremely extremely EXTREMELY lucky to make it big on youtube.
Well, you only have to be lucky to make it big on TH-cam if you're successful QUICK. But, you can still be successful by making videos and growing slowly. My other channel is successful with viral videos and it took me about 2 years to get my first viral of 2 million views. But that's something completely different than my new channel non-gaming related.
Chthonian121 Another suggestion. Stop being so fearful to show your face on camera. If you're going to be in the TH-cam game, don't let your fear of looking stupid hold you back.....
Thank you so much for making this video! I've been looking for a video just like this. You are giving me so many great ideas about my TH-cam channel. I've had this TH-cam channel for a good year or two. And I decided to actually try TH-cam AGAIN. Now I want to make more videos! Thank you again, much appreciated!
Stavros Gazis View botting some creators were caught for paying people to boost their view counters with hacking tools, it's not uncommon to see people why lie about business.
Still still one of my favourite you tubers and caused me a lot of laughs over the years with his skits and I love how he's straight up with it all but bullshiting, thanks for being one of the only real TH-camrs
FINALLY! A TH-camr who actually speaks the truth about money and not some bullshit response to TH-cam money. That's a first.
Some truth. If he was 100% honest, he'd talk about the CPM. It's more like $4-$7 a view. He did say he won't talk about it... That's because he gets more than a 300k channel. Jesse from PVP and I forget the other big vlogger talked about in an interview.
+The CrazeTaker I said 1k views but I have predictive text on so I clicked that then autocorrect changed it to "a view". Those fuckers are mental
+Badass Daily oh, well, I'll look into it later...
+Badass Daily It's not that much a VIEW lol. Everyone knows it's for sure not that much money!
+One Shot Read my comment after that...

Question is, do you make more on TH-cam then you did at Microsoft?
I watched some of your old iracing videos made me smile I really enjoyed them and you have a cool setup too :-)
I love your reviews!
"TH-cam is just one big game, you just need to know how to play it"

Very inspirational words, Jesse. My biggest dream of all is to be a TH-camr and Director/Writer in film. I have so many ideas I wanna put into film and such. I actually plan to do some web series' on my channel soon, one of them being a series I wanna release next year in October. A Horror Anthology series that takes inspiration off of American Horror Story, the Silent Hill franchise, and more. The series is called Legion of Horrors, and I hope for it to do well because it's something I've been thinking about a lot, and how I want to do it, what I want the monster of the first season to look like and be capable of, and more. This video further influences me to pursue TH-cam and Film as careers. It's something I have a lot of confidence and passion about. Thank you so much for making this video. It clears up so many unanswered questions, and I believe everyone needs to see this video, and when they do, they'll further understand how it all works, and they'll too get inspired. :)
You will make it bro!
This video contains more information than the previous 10 videos I’ve watched by others. Nice one Jesse.
i feel like i watched a tai lopez video
+Alex711 tai Lopez sucks

jesus christ i wonder how much psy got from gangnam style lol
2.6 billion views. Probably like 2-5 million
+QTLuv the more views+ subs usually means the more CPM
2.6 billion / 1000 =
two million six hundred thousand
if only i had that much money
its about $2000 per million dollars, so 5.2 million dollars
He's making money while telling us he makes money
quite a bit too.. if you go by the $1 per 1k views.. this vid alone made him $1.3k... in less than a week.. kinda crazy
He left one thing out though. He only gets payed 70 cents - 2 dollars on every monetized view (Aka the viewers that get ads in the video) not everyone gets an ad when they watch the video.
Mirich Teny you realize that was factored in right? you definitly do NOT get 70 cents to $2 for every monetized view, you get that per 1k views... thats also why he said certain months are better, because theres more adds being produced (higher add budget = more monetized views because an add that might only play 10k times/day in one month, is playing 50k times per day a different month, so more adds to select from, so more monetized views)
I don't get any ads :( where are they.. ooh yeah. Something blocked them dayummmm
He's now a business man 👍
What if I have a fucking horribly boring life, how do I get subscribers.
MuahMan RIGHT! that's what im saying!
make a change. start a new hobby. visit cool spots around your city. film it.
MuahMan That's the best part. You have all the time in the world to make videos! Gaming is easy. You should try starting there.
MuahMan .....um then you make videos that don't revolve around your boring life. Who says you have to make videos about your life? I don't get it.
make a video about your boring life. other people with boring lives will watch to compare who's life is more boring. Ask people to comment about how boring their life is. people will watch the most unexpected things. Others will watch to either talk shit or because they don't believe the video is actually going to be about a boring life. Either way you're getting views.
You are one in a million. Making money on TH-cam is HARD AS HELL! I have one video that has 300,000 views but then all my others have like 500 views and I can't make a living off this site. It's great that you got lucky with your series but the majority of kids shouldn't focus on this site and should stay in school.
don't give up, there's a channel that legit posts memes
its not "luck"
You might consider changing and improving your content.
Naw, I'm good. I'm glad you believe in statistical improbabilities, but the majority of people can't make a living off of TH-cam and that's a fact. That's the reason why I do this for fun and have a job and go to school.
+NowAndBecauseTV no such thing as luck, only hard works in anything you want to do, so chase your dreams and never fucking quit that's how you succeed ain't no way around it💪💯
"clickbait is always good" -jessie 2k16
It's kinda true from a TH-camr's perspective.
It's true more than youtubers clickbait
Is it? Everyone does it
every youtuber clickbaits even fucking pewdiepie who already has a shitload of money
2016*
Your an inspiration man, i just wanted you to know that, you probably won't read this, but if on the off chance you did your so down to earth, no bullshit just truth and passion, i work 40 hours a week as a baker i start work at 4am and leave work at 3pm most days but i still manage to spend 20 hours working and editing a video once a week, its such a strain and hard work but seeing videos like this keeps me going. keeps me motivated so Thanks man. :) keep up your passion.
I respect your hard work, keep working hard towards success
Bape Thank you for your kind words, another reason to keep working hard.
Planet Chucky I personally knew someone who worked 80+ hours a week at a convenience store; he bought a motorcycle, a ranger rover (leased) and went on a trip to Dubai, all at the age of 19, before he sadly passed away from a motorbike accident. He was one of the hardest working people I ever met; whenever I meet/hear about hard working people, I always get a feeling of respect and acknowledgement for them
+Bape thats tragic man :( i hope your friend found some peace and happiness with his bike and his trip to dubai, because if he worked that hard, he dam deserved it, I only have my girlfriend and my subs supporting me, nobody understands why I do TH-cam and strain myself, iv not even earned $100 yet of 2 years of hard work, but i still do it, because I enjoy making people laugh and I enjoy making content :) thank you for your respect
+Planet Chucky you earned a sub:)
I’m trying to go full time, doing what is fun for me: mmos, rpgs, Puppet cringe comedy, mmo parody songs, graphic novels in video form, and having a blast, the snowball effect is real if you stay true to yourself. I’m still very small, about to hit 4k but that’s in 1 year of trying. Push guys! You can do it! Don’t give up!! Amazing times, great vid!
The best youtube money explanation out there right now. Just saying.
Agreed!
it's definitely up there
yea it always seems like its some big secret amongst youtubers
+kios05 I think it's cuz they don't want others to start making money
terms of service have some restrictions about talking about money from youtube
dont take my word for it though, thats what i believe is the problem

This Man just Literally Just Gave EVERYONE THE KEY TO SUCCESS 💯
1. I've been on the fence about your psycho kid series but impressed with your dedication
2. Props for posting a video like this
3. I still can't believe people don't realize the simple mechanics and math of making money on TH-cam
4. Yes! This is an amazing time to be alive. To be able to make a living on your own with a few simple tools and on your own terms is amazing.
5. I will continue to watch your channel.
And 6. Guys, this is a LOT of work. And anyone who is publishing videos daily is making a huge sacrifice for their art. And it is art.
k thanks
I agree, it is a lot of workand dedication. On my channel (not this account) I would be recording for like an hour then editing out fails or boring stuff or speeding up the vid at a certain point, adding music to it, then haveing to wait an hur for it to render, and another 20 min for it to upload. Then you need to add a title and then a escription with links to sites you may have used, then adding tags to it so its easier to find.... its alot and can be overwhelming at a young age.(14)
+Keith Hopkin You said allot there. But on point #3 you have to remember that most of the audience are children who have to have this broken down to them
+Shadohh sub for sub?
You all don't realize that we can help each other to become millionaires. Everybody can subscribe to every channel and help everybody become millionaires.
Yea but if you dont post invigorating content no ones gonna watch you and wont get the views
Lol no. That would require almost infinite time which none of us have.... And then TH-cam surely would come out with a policy against thus making our time spent doing this useless. Good luck though!
+Ewqwewew Qweqewqwq who says we wouldn't watch ?
They've already put a limit on how many subs you can have to prevent sub4sub getting out of control.
Yes we can
This sounds like one of those ads like "I made 90 thousand dollars online in one month! and you can to,"
too ^
tooo^
toooo^
Tooooo^

Thanks for the motivation!
this is so motivating, i do youtube for almost 2 years, since the last 2 months i have been uploading daily and livestreaming daily. I dedicate my life to it. 2 weeks ago i went viral with pokemon go and gained 8K subs. 400 views a video now but yeah i surely do see that it is possible. I will never stop. thank you so much for the advice. It reassures me of my career choice. I never comment about my channel but this is clearly imo a genuine comment for a video like this so delete it if you think it is self-ad but i mean it genuinely.
no one cares
+honz1122 i care
we don't care you care
i care that he cares
Do you make decent money a month?
The psycho series should be on Netflix haha (i follow you since ridgid gaming, when you had like 70k)
Ok? What does that mean?
+NadinN I'm not paying to watch it, it was entertaining but nowhere near as good as most shows on Netflix
+Kiley Y. (K.A.Y.) Ah I see, I agree it needs more recognition than what it currently has
Wow you officially wasted your time for almost 3 million subs congrats
+NadinN lol I agree
Inspirational video. I think I might start with this youtube stuff.
Good luck I am also starting
I have one. Could you please sub to me
+RRX GAMING subbed
Easier said then done!
I made a couple montages in the past under the channel of F051, if you want to see :) created the montages for my personal stuff and ended creating an account (now forgotten lol)
This video inspired us to start our channel!
I get quite a few videos 10+ mins with midrolls that do very well. Say 5K views - makes $20. (around $4 per) Yet out of those 5K, only like 2K are monetizable, so the CPMS are insane. ($10 per) Usually the range you mentioned is more accurate but it's applying to "Total Views" which may confuse viewers. If you get 5K views, chances are 50% aren't monetizable. (Mobile, other forms etc) Videos under 10 minutes get hit hard.. 5k may may $5-10.

I actually appreciate your honesty with this topic...
I'm about as entertaining as a manhole cover
Hahahahaha
You mean WomeHole cover TRIGGERD
Make videos of something that you enjoy doing, and your personality will come out eventually. Just know that everybody sucks when they start :-)
7 billion on the planet, there must be millions whod pay to watch a manhole cover...
Manhole? Gross.
I Like making youtube videos so i can go rewatch my experience i had in life or in a game.
wow. the same. hahaha
this is why its so hard to just close an account and move on. despite the cringe.
That's a great reason to make videos! hope you're successful
i started about 7 months ago.......was starting to lose motivation ,,but this has inspired me to go harder,,,thanks jugnuget.....thumbs up
I've been wanting to do TH-cam since i was in 5th grade. I used to make videos and show my classmates but my teacher shut me down. I stopped doing videos and i just barely started making videos again. I just graduated highschool and im finally doing what i wanted to do. I don't know why it took me so long to return to TH-cam but im so happy i did. I decided to follow my dreams, yeah the money would be cool but for the time being i enjoy making the videos. Thanks for making me realize that this dream could become a reality. Having the job of entertaining others is what i want to do. Thanks Nuggets for making me realize that this dream is very very very possible. (:
Great story, man. I hope you succeed
do what u gotta do n youll make it happen i believe in u but if u ever need a laugh u should def check out my channel! I only make vids to bring people laughter n entertainment hope u enjoy! 1000!
thanks guys
+BounciestBen You're welcome
Having fun making videos is what it's all about, good luck my friend
you should live in a mansion with lambo that would be very entertaining
he should
Yeah that would be cool to see him living the high life
i thought u were referencing tai lopez (here in my garage)
+Julian Dinunzio he is 😂😂😂
He doesnt need it and wants to live a humble life
700 subs with low view counts... I guess I'll strip for views then and label title "Trump and Hillary caught kissing" with a Pokémon Go thumbnail.
lol
lmao i know that struggle
its so bad
LOOOOOL!!!! This was genuinely hilarious! =P
lool I've got 56 :-D -- I'm checking your channel out now :)
you are so real and i love that. i started youtube 2007, deleted all my videos cos no one ever watched. if only i knew, to just hold on and keep doing it. i wish i had the knowledge and wisdom i do now. not giving up.
This is actually really motivational. Thank you.

Good luck for your future
Keep on going man don't give up.
+Gaming Inc thank u bro

I subed
Wish I would have taken it serious 6 years ago. Just now getting close to paying rent. Accurate stats, and great video man!
The problem is everything has been done on TH-cam by now. There's like a billion people trying to make it on TH-cam. So doing something no body has done is extremely difficult. Now years ago it was easier bc most were just watching, now all are trying to make it a job
i AGREE
That's the thing that frustrates me when I'm thinking of doing TH-cam
Agreed
You can say that about books, games, movies, etc. It's just about having enough vision and initiative to think about it. There's only 1 you and nobody else can exactly copy you.thats the beauty of YOUTube.
Unless you're planning to do vlogs, I can't see how it would be annoying. If you're pursuing gaming it's more about your personality. Or you could be those attention-seeking nonsensical prank channels. There's a lot of things you could do in your own way.
I would love to see a educational, or tip series jessie. That would help a lot of us small youtube channels struggling to get the right info, because there is a lot of false info out there. and it is hard to figure out all the right things a youtuber should be doing and what we should do and so on.
Yes
Same here

'' I dont do it for the money''
'' I watched a youtuber with 100,000 subs and he could pay of his rent, so that inspired me.''
......
Well if you can make money off of something you love to do why not?
lol, i didnt notice that. haha nice.
He means that he doesn't have to get a "real" job. There's a difference between needing money to live and becoming addicted to it.
I think he. means he never did it for the money. but since it is what he loves and he can live off of it?? he jumped into it
If you're good at something, never do it for free.
Appreciate the insight, definitely some things to think about and put to use.
Kids, a film degree is about as useless as an arts degree. Jesse hit the jackpot. He's a very talented guy but the % who walk out of school and make as much money as he did is like winning the lottery.
*is about as likely as winning the lottery
True
Film degree isn't useless at all 😂
+Cameron .Nottebaum if you have A film degree It is, you're useless

I'm a pilot and I want to do videos up there, but since the sky is the limit, I guess I can't :(
Hahaha! Funny!

This is funny even if you're not a pilot for real, LOL!
I unfortunately wasted 13 years of my life flying for a broke airline
Lol
I've wanted to do TH-cam as a career for the longest time - more than 5 years now. This was very inspirational. I'll keep on keeping on :)
Thanks for the video :D
How'd you get your channel verified? I've been trying to get that for years!
Hearthstone Drama I've got some pretty strong connections in the industry :)
For real though, what does one do to get it?
Hearthstone Drama If you're in a network, ask them, they have to submit you for it.
You have connections? Lmao 3k subs after 5 years. Nice
This motivates me so much! Thank you alot! Really!😀
How did u get so many subs
Did this video make you grow so much
I'm still thanking God that you cut your hair😂

+Ayo_Ghetto_Taco Views, not subscribers

swear
good point, but the fact you're encouraging people to become youtubers if they're money driven we're gunna end up with youtube full of money hungry youtubers instead of people making videos because it's their passion. Fame/money/all the rest of it should be a by-product of someone who cares about what they do.
TRUTH
I agree.
the beginning of his message is all about that and he barely touched the subject that you need content, without content that speaks to your audience, you will never get a break, so you will simply fail at gaining an audience... if you steal your content, you will simply be shut down like so many...
There's already a lot of that, but that doesn't stop any aspiring youtubers to maybe become your next favorite youtube channel.
This doesn't matter. TH-cam is another profession. There are businesses that also start for just the money and they fail because of it. The same will be true of TH-cam creators that have no passion.
Inspiring to continue to work hard, 2 years and nearly 16,000 subscribers , I will keep on the path , Cheeks Out! 🇨🇦
Most coolest Real Video I've ever seen. I have Lots of Big TH-cam Friends they all make Shit Tons of Cash i.e Roman Atwood, Dennis Roady,Crazy Russian Hacker (Tarus,) Tom Mabe , Scary Snow Man ,Furious Pete and more ... this is By Far May Favorite Video Ever! well stated !

It's hard to get noticed though.
No.. Just do something unique and flashy and youll eventually get attention
That doesn't mean you're gonna get attention. I just hit 600 subs which I'm happy for but it is so difficult to get noticed. 600 is nice and all but when I look at other people, I'm nothing.
Make what people are searching for. Sounds simple, but put yourself in the mind of a watcher.
***** No I'm not being being negative, I'm happy with what I have.
Your videos are decent but if you want your channel to grow you should do something that people want to see, like what's popular right now (pokemon go for example).
A lot of people talk about Pokemon Go so you have to do something special to stand out tho
23 times you said "FUCKIN" with some " HOLY SHITTT" on it lol, i love you dude :D
Holy shit I might just start a TH-cam career after watching this!!!
Dont youll fail miserably
youll prosper 22 subs is good start
Ignore the first comment. But you need to be patient. It will take time. A lot of it
Go for it man, you won't succeed unless you try!
Be creative, and work hard, and don't let anyone dictate what you want to do.
Seems nice, too bad I'm camera shy. LUL
Who says you need to have a face cam or vlog channel?
Cat Yeah, but it seems like vlogs tend to get the most subs and viewer base. I don't know of many successful channels that don't have a face cam other than like ASAP science..
I'm kinda the same. I'd like to talk in my videos but I hate the way I sound on video. Lol

that
+Lilhammerzz Agreed! although he did mention in yesterday's video that he has another one of these coming out shortly. So that's good :-)
It is so so true! You really can make a ton of money on TH-cam!
You just have to have the drive and passion and everything will all fall into place!
Yes I am the same way I had no problem making the video its the views I need.
I had more when i started monetize then now with 2x ..

yee
its just almost to a month i started monetizing my videos, and I have made $300 in a month, even when im sleeping im earning haha, thank you brother :D
its sad that adblock works on TH-cam lol. I havent seen an ad in months. I feel bad though
Disable adblock on the domain of TH-cam, I was thinking about it during this video and I realized this is peoples job this is there living, so why are you taking away from that just because you don't want to watch an advertisement, especially when watching youtubers you love cause even tho liking their video is supporting them turning off adblock is supporting them just as much if not more
+Prevision yeah I know you can turn it off and that's why I feel bad sometimes. But at the same time the ads are still annoying, and it's not really my fault that Google can't figure out a way to still show them. And I only block them on my computer and I usually watch videos on my iPad so I still see ads
***** i know. i said that in a comment to someone already bit ot got removed for spam for some reason
feel bad long enough and ya might just jump of a cliff so i think you should stop. everyone wins!
I never will disable add block becouse I never watch TH-cam on my PC. i play games myself I don't watch them when I'm able to simply start up a game and have fun i use my phone and I dont get adds on my phone luckily becouse if I did I would disable then i do not care for they're income becouse it's simply unfair. What about those people that bust they're ass for 800 dollars a month? Is this fair? Some idiot playing games online gets paid 100k a guy works his ass off doing physical labour for 8 hours please. As soon as the website falls they fall with it.

Top 1000 youtubers make 100k+ salaries. Compared to 7 billion people on the planet, 1000 is not a lot...... You have to be extremely extremely EXTREMELY lucky to make it big on youtube.
That's assuming that 7 billion people have youtube channels. I understand your point buuuut its a meh point
Well, you only have to be lucky to make it big on TH-cam if you're successful QUICK. But, you can still be successful by making videos and growing slowly. My other channel is successful with viral videos and it took me about 2 years to get my first viral of 2 million views. But that's something completely different than my new channel non-gaming related.
Mikeydroid Official Yea but I meant the big channel pulling in an unimaginable amount of money is a really low figure.
Chthonian121 Another suggestion. Stop being so fearful to show your face on camera. If you're going to be in the TH-cam game, don't let your fear of looking stupid hold you back.....
+Mikeydroid Official yo how can I first get noticed though
Thank you so much for making this video! I've been looking for a video just like this. You are giving me so many great ideas about my TH-cam channel. I've had this TH-cam channel for a good year or two. And I decided to actually try TH-cam AGAIN. Now I want to make more videos! Thank you again, much appreciated!

Honestly, there's alot more to TH-cam's adsense and ad payments but most famous TH-camrs use a lot of shady tactics as well to gain views.
What kind of shady ways?
im curious what have to say now lol... tell?
Stavros Gazis View botting some creators were caught for paying people to boost their view counters with hacking tools, it's not uncommon to see people why lie about business.
It's a shame that they do that though. Some people just have to cheat their way up, and I wish that wasn't the case
The Reviews Dude True, there's many more tactics but this is good enough.
