Watching youtubers talk about their channel being monetized makes me so happy, I've completed one-fourth of the journey; the remaining three-fourths are still ahead and the thought of hitting that goal gives me all that motivation to do what I love while showing it to the world!!

[@helen_melen]

Good luck on your youtube journey!!! :)

i'm so dead at the mariah carey analogy💀 That's exactly how I came across you for the first time though. thanks for sharing!

[@vanessacaprini]

I let the full ad play on your vids in support of you! Thanks for sharing this information it's really interesting to learn.

[@helen_melen]

[@helen_melen]

Thanks for watching!

[@alessandracriscuolo2125]

You are proof of never giving up on your passion! Love your youtube videos! Thank you for sharing your journey with us 😍

[@helen_melen]

Thank you Ally🥹🥰❤️

[@MarkStCyr]

Watched the whole shindig. Very informative, thanks for sharing this piece of your journey with us. I also really love how much you hype yourself up for each milestone you accomplish. I feel sad when people talk themselves down, it's hard to be successful if we're talking ourselves down all the time. Love to see you talking yourself up so thanks for mirroring that for me (and all of us who watched)

[@helen_melen]

LOL aw thanks! I think I am also somewhat delusional and it works in my favour haha but thanks it means alot :)

[@studteacafe]

Congrats! Keep vlogging and filming what you love! The right audience will find it :)

[@D-karrar]

Thanks for this informative piece, I've heard every youtuber always say it takes one video to hit those requirements so gotta work on each video with the same enthusiasm cuz we never know which will be that ONE video😂

[@helen_melen]

I think it's different from everybody! But for me it took one video to hit the subscriber requirement and many videos to hit the watch hours

[@mgigamestyle]

I watched your video all the way to the end and hit a like 👍🏽 and sub! The journey is so cool and and open you were was very honest, it has inspired me to really work harder to achieve the same levels as well!!

[@helen_melen]

Thanks for the support and good luck on your journey!

[@amayabueno]

I’m so glad TH-cam recommended your video! When I first started out, it was so hard to find videos like this of smaller channels sharing their journeys so I love your transparency! Let’s go small creators! 🤍

[@helen_melen]

Thank you!!! Means alot :)

[@TangeniFX]

Great content Helen. as for getting 4k watch was the hardest

[@Serenaeatss]

This is so adorable, you can see how happy you are!! Congratulations!! I cant wait to see more videos from you

[@helen_melen]

aww thank you for watching :)

[@SondosAmmdadl]

Watching such videos spark so much joy inside of me, and gives me hope that even though I been on youtube for 2 years I am still not monetized. But this really makes me happy. thank you.

[@an__spooky]

Congrats on monetization

[@helen_melen]

Thank you! 😊

[@pedrozatravel]

Looks like you are doing a great job. I make about 1 dollar a day, it is hardly anything, but I totally understand getting excited about even earning a little bit. Just do your own thing and you will attract the audience you are looking for.

[@helen_melen]

Yes agreed! Thanks ☺️

[@Serenaeatss]

if you wanted to know more about like taxes / sponsorships - but more like looking into the future of like how to get more brand deals etc i know that colin and samir are releasing a course soon! if you sign up you might get like an early access discount! Otherwise maybe talking to other youtubers who are monetised etc to get a better idea of how it works!

[@ddangerous]

I’m also planning to start a channel. This inspires me

[@helen_melen]

Yay! Good luck

[@UnderwaterFishFilms]

hi helen, are the estimates on the youtube studio close to what you actually earn, how much do you make per view? :) i.e the 36 dollars you earned in the first month, how much did you earn after tax or at all besides the estimate

[@MMRCx]

cant even imagine how it feels like to get paid for something you like to do

[@helen_melen]

hey, never too late to try!
