I found you because of that side hustle video but stuck around because of your honesty and openness with us. You’re very helpful and motivating and I’m glad I found your channel! Hoping it grows more for you, you deserve it!
I love it when you said you never know what video will pop off, so you just have to keep pushing and putting content out there. Next year , I really want to step up my posting schedule and really try to grow my channel. Thank you for sharing this. These videos are always so helpful and inspiring. :)
I love these videos 🥳 what an AMAZING first 6 months that is crazy!! It’s soooo hard to remember that the trends of what we make are so out of our control adsense wise, sometimes there’s truly no reason and some months are just higher than others. I’m so happy to see you grow 💕
I agree! It is so interesting to compare month over month and I’m super curious to see how next year will compare once I’ve made it a full year being monetized!
That’s great! I just got monetized on my other channel (FlippingThrifters) and I’ve been monitored for almost two weeks and I am almost at $200 I am excited to see where my channel will grow and just love watching other peoples experiences!
Thank you for sharing! I've been thinking about starting a YT channel and have been worried about all the editing that will eat up my time. I like that you are makimg videos that are fun for you and not necessarily what's popular because you are still showing that ypu are making money regardless. I have a fb group of nearly 7k followers so I am hopeful that I can be successful talking about that topic without insanely edited videos that have animations in it, etc. I appreciate seeing that you have grown and been able to monitize without the professional editing that others do. Thank you!
I’ve just recently started my TH-cam channel and with my goal now being to get monetized this was super helpful to get insight into how much you made each month in your first 6 months of being monetized - thank you for sharing! I can relate so much to things you shared about looking for work while also working on growing your channel and when you shared that you knew you wanted more from yourself when it came to your career and your income - I feel the same way! Just subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your videos and hearing more of your story and journey 🫶🏼
It just takes time! When you’re small you really have to focus on how you’re reaching new people! That’s why I do a mix of content that is more searchable with more vlog style content. Hope that helps!
I always appreciate channels being open and transparent about how much they make. As someone who is looking to grow my channel this is encouraging. Gained a sub.
I love these videos! Congrats ✨️🙌❤️ and yes it's so true about trying out things and seeing what works for you! It's never too late to try out a variety of things (at least to what you are comfortable with), experimenting is always the best thing to do 🙌✨️
So cool and inspirational to everyone who runs a small business oder small TH-cam channel, too! We're all in this together :D Keep goingnd congratulations!
Cool to see the numbers and a more steady income. I wonder if September is slow cuz school starts back up so parents and students all the sudden are busy with getting back into routines and classes and stuff. 🤷🏼♀️
I agree! I’m grateful to be making money consistently at this point. Could be for September! December has been slow so far too, I definitely can see how there might be ebbs and flows depending on the time of year. I’ll be curious to see how the first half of the year is as I would think people would come to TH-cam for new years motivation and such
I’m a small TH-camr but I post every single Thursday ever since I started which is a bunch of months ago. I post storytime, pampering and lifestyle content ❤
Hi Jess 🙂 I guess all businesses revenue fluctuates throughout the year............... but it is strange why September wasn't good for your channel 🤔. I always watch your videos, normally around the same time 10.30pm-ish. Whatever happens for you and Chris in 2024, you MUST keep making videos.
You have to turn ads on for each video. You have the option to have TH-cam automatically place them or you can do it manually. Hope that helps clarify!
my channel has 347subs..I just made a video without any prep or equipment for a friend. I got 60k views on that vid now lol and all the subs, So I guess I try the YT thing maybe I can make it. channel is not this one =)
That is frustrating. That has popped on mine once or twice… I assumed it was from my video that has 500k+ views but I’ve heard there’s not much you can do about it so I’ve tried to not let it bother me. Hope it gets resolved for you!
Well done! I wish I could do it. I was thinking of TH-cam, but unsure where to start. How did you finance your life when you were laid off? In nz we have Winz, but I don’t know what America has. How did you afford your filming equipment, gym membership etc? Also, how did you find TH-cam supported you as income because $600usd a month isn’t much.
Great question. For a while because I was laid off I was on state unemployment. I also have various other sources of income outside of ad revenue. Additionally I will admit that I am married so my husband and I have joint finances. When I was laid off we crunched some numbers and figured we could mostly live off his income as long as I was pulling in a few thousand USD between my various income streams. Admittedly things are tight for us but I hope to scale a lot this year 💗
You posted this video 3 months ago with 10.8k subs. Today, April 6th, 2024, you currently have 15.7k. 🎉Congrats
As someone closing in on 1000 subs, this is so helpful and encouraging. I hope you are able to make this a full time job!
I’m so glad you found it helpful! I’m grateful I’m currently doing it full time, and hope the income follows! 😊
Congrats on 5k subs!! You absolutely crushed your original goal 👏👏

Thank you!! So glad my videos help 💕
I’m getting there, slowly but surely
It definitely takes time! Keep going!
Cool to see the numbers and a more steady income. I wonder if September is slow cuz school starts back up so parents and students all the sudden are busy with getting back into routines and classes and stuff. 🤷🏼♀️

Yay for monetization!
Hi Jess 🙂

Whatever happens for you and Chris in 2024, you MUST keep making videos.
Aw thank you! I intend to!! Thank you for the support and always watching!
can you also share your ad settings :) ? Thanks!
Wow amazing! Hope I get there one day ☺
Keep going! You got this!
What does it take to be in the top 1% of TH-cam earners?
Congrats ❤
Thank you! 💕
So inspiring new TH-camr here🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Keep going, you got this!
You're such a gem, Jess ♥️🥺♥️Thank you for talking the time to make such genuine content
Thank you!! 🥹♥️
🎉 good stuff
Thanks!
Do you put the ads in yourself, or do they automatically play once you get monetized?
You have to turn ads on for each video. You have the option to have TH-cam automatically place them or you can do it manually. Hope that helps clarify!
Where did u get ur top? Like it❤
Thank you! It was probably just Amazon or shein
I am not getting views on my videos
How many ads & where you place them?
I typically let TH-cam auto place ads
Great
Impressive and a little inspiring
Thank you!
❤
my channel has 347subs..I just made a video without any prep or equipment for a friend. I got 60k views on that vid now lol and all the subs, So I guess I try the YT thing maybe I can make it. channel is not this one =)
Yep, just takes one right video to pop off. Keep going! 👏🏼
$7.1K for 6 months on TH-cam ... better than 0
Definitely agree
It’s odd. Some months you’re all over my page, others I have to search you out.
That is super odd!! Wish I knew why
How many videos are you posting weekly?
Currently 2!
This editing😢I am afraid. I gonna start soon with youtube. So is it a MUST to edit my video before I send it to youtube? I hate editing prositure😢
I think editing can definitely help improve the quality of your videos but it’s definitely up to you on how much you want to edit ☺️
How did you back and forth with screen recording with a circle of you in the corner than back to full screen?
I will make a “how I edit my videos” video soon! Stay tuned! 🫶🏼
My favourite video is out finally ❤ Your story helps me keep going.
Ahhh thank you so much!!
Do you think youtube promotions is helpful? Did you ever use it?
I’ve never tried it!
Thank you for this video and your openness as always, Jess. I wish you all the success you wish for with your channel. Love from Germany 🤍
So glad you enjoyed! 💕💕
This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing 🥹
thank you! good luck!

I loooove looking at other people's analytics. I keep getting hit with the invalid traffic bug, its so frustrating!
That is frustrating. That has popped on mine once or twice… I assumed it was from my video that has 500k+ views but I’ve heard there’s not much you can do about it so I’ve tried to not let it bother me. Hope it gets resolved for you!
Great analytics 🎉
