Wow I’ve never seen such an informative, detailed, and transparent video on how creators actually make money on this platform. You are truly one of a kind Tay Bell! 🙏🏻💪🏻
Hell yeah, that's all I could hope for. Thank you so very much 😊💪🏼
Ali Abdaal used to do a very transparent run down of what he’s made on TH-cam. But now he’s making so much I think he’s a little more quiet about it.
Taylor … Canadian corporate guru here! I echo people’s sentiments about the set up of your content - impressive! Curious to know if you have to structure in (purchase) insurance coverage, specifically for your future consulting income stream? This class of business (as we refer to it in Canada) would be referred into a speciality market to be underwritten by a carrier. Curious about this over head cost and what insurance carrier would offer. Cheers!
Right, you can see the consultant in her coming out.
What i would love to see is a day in the life breakdown. Like from the moment you wake up, all the planning, shooting, editing, replying to emails or whatever you do, and how you structure your day. I feel like normal people just assume YT'ers have a shit ton of free time and they don't actually work a lot. And timestamps would be extremely helpful too.
Awesome, noted
Yesss, this! I’m working my way towards full time CC while working a corporate job, PLUS I have ADHD and time management problems. I’d love an example of how you organize everything and get things done 🙏
I'd like to know how many hours per week you dedicate to content creation. It would be good to know vs. your corporate job.
@TaylorBell would also love this video but keen to see if you outsource any of your activities like video editing and if so where you found them, at what point in your journey you did that and how much it costs.
I love the fact that your pointer is in fact a spatula. A spatula is actually really cool.
I like that word ‘spatula’ it can me said like that or as spÂ-Tula. Similar to the word gondola or gon-dola. It’s fun with words.
Spreading the information! 🤣
I love the spatula
Great video, so transparent. I thought for sure your most viewed video would pay WAY more though. I definitely guessed a number 2x what you actually made 👀
Thanks Big H! And YEAH agreed. Interestingly the number of monetized playbacks it has is MUCH lower than the total viewcount
Hey, I follow u and Taylor. And u two are the only "money" TH-camrs I follow I mainly watch NFL and music videos so it is odd to me to see u on Taylor's channel 😀😀
The very best results of your education is..........finding your true identity and with confidence and planning being you. So many don't.
Couldn't agree more. Thank you
Your an Artist, it's that simple.
and part of that "education" is ongoing throughout our lives IMO.
Amazing video. I also think that being a TH-camr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of Famester of course to help) will always pay off at the end. Good luck to everybody, you will all succeed one day!!
She's making money off making videos on how she's making money
Finally, someone who can thoroughly explain TH-cam revenue from top to bottom so the layman can understand, thank you!! Love your channel, thank you for being you, have a fantastic tomorrow, see ya next time.🤪
I gotchu!!
Thankyou so much for being os transparent about your revenue streams and income. Not a lot of creators talk about their finances transparently .
Kudos for 400k subs!
There’s a remarkable level of thoughtfulness within what you present while still being to cover and simplify complex topics, Taylor. That personable demeanor you have really reflects into your presentation and success here on TH-cam. Congrats on 400k subs!
What a thoughtful comment, thank you SO much
I’m sooo addicted to your videos. It’s a combo of excellent content + your tone of voice.
Was it actually a spatula that you used for pointing on whiteboard 😂?
Okay questions
1) I get the pie distribution. But, is the diameter of the pie (total cumulative income) increasing?
2) If TH-cam revenue depends on view , can't anyone just mislead by clicking their own videos repeatedly or maybe asking their closed ones to do so just to increase views?
THANK YOU ah that's so kind
@@shayakghosal7456diameter of pie is increasing! Still not quite as large as before (I.e, I haven’t made up the full amount of my consulting income yet) but well on its way :) and 2) i think TH-cam has a control for that / bots, but not totally sure
Nothing I love more than an interactive pie chart; the spatula pointer honed my focus on the presentation....as well as making a pie. Great video.
Your transparency on "taboo" subjects is amazing and respected! Not only do I love watching your informative videos, but your vlogs are just as great, too! Hope you have an amazing weekend!
To answer your question, I'm definitely interested in a video about what a work day for a content creator actually looks like from start to finish! Obviously it will vary from day to day, but when creators say they have a busy work day, I'm always wondering what it entails -- answering emails for hours? writing scripts? filming? editing? researching a company that reaches out for a sponsorship? Like how long do these things actually take, and is it a 40-hour a week job? Or would you say it generally takes less (or more) time each day than a typical corporate job?
I feel like most creators (at least the ones I watch) are vague about this, and I have really appreciated your transparency on various topics in previous videos!
Thanks for putting this one out Taylor! Brand deals are definitely super opaque and as a newer creator myself it's pretty intimidating figuring out what deals are worth pursuing / are considered "fair". Also, love how you've mastered the art of subtly inserting sponsorships into your videos in a fun and creative way 🙌 Best of luck from another BCGer!
As a TH-camr in tech, I just want to say what Taylor said was very on point!
Really like your personal brand and content. Hope you see more of it coming 🙌
I am not a creator, but I love these types of videos. It’s really refreshing when someone shares their income streams. And I work with college freshman through college seniors with a variety of majors, but in a college of business, and I love to be up to date on potential Careers or just side hustles or other income streams for them. Good luck, girl!🎉
Love how you broke the video down. You content is always well thought out and you even make finance entertaining. I know most or 60% of the new content will be content on finances and but HOPEFULLY the other 40% will still be the fun lifestyle content the “how much i spend in a week”, random NYC videos about cool stuff to check out and the big one the Katz Experience vlog post when it eventually happens. Hope you’re enjoying the post consulting life as a full time creator. Kudos as always for another informative yet entertaining vid…Go Turtle Gang!
I have watched at least seventy videos over the last five years covering this exact topic and when i say no one I've watched has actually given figures WITH CONTEXT when it comes to brand deals, I actually mean NO ONE. It's always, "some brands can pay you six figures, it depends." The end. So thank you very much Taylor. Thank you.
Lowkey not a fan of comments like this exact one I'm writing because i used to think, "how much research did you (the viewer) actually do?" but I swear I was waiting for some workaround to not mention figures but it didn't happen! and I have to appreciate it lol. Honestly thought it was illegal at some point with how discreet everyone was being.
great vid Tay!! Also congrats on 400k+ subs!!!
THANK YOU sm!!!
Video idea im interested in: how NYC helps you as an entrepreneur and how you meet other creatives/entrepreneurs
Thanks for the detailed info in this video Taylor!
Loved how you incorporated your consulting presentation skills into the video. Simple and easy to follow. Great Job!!!! Congrats!
I started following you around 2 years ago when you had around 16K subscribers...and now it is phenomenal 400+. Congratulations Taylor and thanks for all the awesome videos.
"Not too shabby!" Taylor for making $300k+ a year as a Creator! Thanks so much for the transparency. You made the whole 'youtube creator lifestyle' digestible. I've watched way too many videos on this topic by other creators and they just complicate it, making it overwhelming for any newcomer to get a head start.
I really love your perspective on finance. I know very little on the subject and you explain it in such a user friendly way! Honestly if you took more confusing finance topics and explained them that would be amazing! For example, topics like investing in different ways, credit card debt, etc
Also, love seeing your lifestyle videos too, your personality really shines! People will watch what you do because you are genuine and brave enough to put yourself out there!
Some ideas for future videos:
1. Insider Panel: Consultant, Banker, PE/VC Analyst talk about their jobs and lifestyles.
2. Home Buying Plans: How would you approach buying a home? If not NY, CA, then where?
3. Coworking Spaces: Showdown
That was the most indepth and transparent I've seen on the subject, especially when it comes to brand deals. You are swag Miss Taylor Bell
You said you read every comment so I’m putting myself out there hoping you’ll see this! I commented on your live a while ago about possibly grabbing a coffee or doing a walk and talk in NYC in late March!
I’m a business and student at the University of Missouri, a videographer for our athletics, and also want to live in NYC when I’m older so needless to say you’ve been an inspiration and I’d love to meet you! It would also be so cool to help you with a video or anything you’re working on!
Either way, if you’d let me know that would be awesome! You seem like such a genuine person, so just keep doing you!
You are amazing for covering this. Hooray for transparency!
Awww thank you. I would’ve liked to see this when I was first starting so hoping it’s helpful for a lot of people ☺️
Thank you for the insights Taylor ! Amazing video ! Can you make a video on how to overcome the fear of starting out on TH-cam ? How to increase productivity in this context as well ? Thanks !
As a baby youtuber, I appreciate how informative and clear you are. Also your silly humor. I love it. ❤️
I would love to hear more about your time breakdown for the planning, prep, filming, and editing process! Especially how you managed it while working full time and if that has shifted now, or if you are planning on posting more, or just enjoying having some free time now!
How she explained, there is still a consultant inside of her 😂
Always.
Of course, she is super smart and will always be a consultant
Thought the same haha :D
she was literally a consultant for like 2 years only.
@@japanboy31415 it's called t a l e n t :)
Thanks for the info, Taylor, awesome stuff! The bloopers were fun too! I'm still pretty small as a content creator but as I grow my channel this will help. Thanks so much!
Hey Taylor, been loving your videos since the beginning of the channel! It’s great that you’re big on transparency and go straight to the relevant stuff. I would personally love to see some videos on investing and how you grow that slice of the pie + always love to see some nyc videos as well 😊
Hello im Yacine from Morco do you want to get to know each other
i love this video sm~ you're an incredibly clear explainer and i can listen to you talk about anything!! thank you for this transparent breakdown of the youtube career path!!
THANKS my gorl, means a lot coming from you 💜
Ok, I finished working so I got to enjoy the video. What to say, it’s not that often you get to see a video done so thoroughly. You come a long way since your first nyc apartment and videos. I can’t wait to see you shine in the next chapter of your business career!
The road to 1M turtles is long but in sight! Well done Tay
New creator here - just started two months ago - videos like these are so transparent and so helpful. Thank you!
Watching this video answered many of my questions, prompting numerous 'aha' moments💡🙂Thanks Taylor🙌
Taylor, I wouldn’t be surprised if business school recruiters don’t come knocking at your door to join their faculty. You might not do it now but it could be in your future! 😊
Great explanation Taylor. I click immediately whenever I see you in the subs feed. Your enthuasiam is contagious and immediately draws one in. Best of luck with the diversification project.
What an incredibly clear and detailed video. Thank you so much.❤
What an awesome/unique video. I haven’t really seen other influencers make videos about this stuff. It’s really cool!
It’s crazy how big of a difference CPMs make for ad revenue. Similar to you, my most viewed video has ~5.3 million views but has made around $65,000 in adsense revenue
Yes!! Perfect comparison
A recording of warren buffett talking made 65k?
I'd love to see a video on how you start (how many videos do you have ready before starting, do you show them to your friends&family before posting, how to you test interest of the audience before even having one), how you build a community, what are the top 3 key things to be aware of/not to miss when you start, thankssss
the arts and crafts actually ate
I'm a little bit late to this video, I was busy, but if it's not too late, I would like to suggest one idea for a future video: "How to distinct scam email from bussiness email, expecialy as a small creator?" Turtle out 😄🐢
Thank you for lifting the curtain a bit on how money is made by content creators. It was pretty much abracadabra for me. I came here after watching a video from Rick Beato (the guy who interviews famous and respected musicians) on what musicians make on a million or even a billion streams. That is a lot less transparent.
That’s was an elaborate and well explained video ..Thankyou Taylor for taking an initiative to brief the process and the reality behind the TH-cam income generation!
It's the spatula for me 😂
Keep it up Taylor! ❤
Love how you break down a complex financial topic like this a d break it down so anyone can understand! Great video Taylor and I would love you to do more videos on things like investing.
Thanks for all the information, slowly securing brand deals as a creator.
Hopefully get to go fulltime in a few months
Step one: be born beautiful and keep lucky that way.
Ur bitter
Well being beautiful brings the audience but being smart, charismatic, knowledgeable and entertaining is what made me stay and follow her.
@@JoelsterG4k thanks for the compliment.
@@0reason maybe you are? Did you ever see someone as good looking as me who was unlucky and became disabled?
That’s def not how it works but whatever makes you feel better
As if the informative breakdown wasn’t enough, the spatula pointer really sells it. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a fan of your "Day In The Life" videos, but whatever topic you cover, I'll be watching. TH-cam has replaced regular network TV for me, and content creators like you have become my go-to for entertainment.
Thank you, Ms. Taylor Bell!!!
Taylor! So awesome to see you grow from when I first started watching a few years back! I love the lifestyle videos, and would also would love to hear more about finances (both personal and business)!
The best video I've seen on this topic, thank you! I love your authenticity and humor as well!
Totally mesmerized by this plastic spatula 😯😅
This video is so detailed and super insightful.Thanks for that 😊
exactly that spatula somehow fit the moment, whether intentional or improvised.
Thanks - very comprehensive. Lots of opportunities if you find a popular niche and passionately work at it. The great thing about YT is that it has now become the "go-to" approach to "almost" every conceivable human activity from properly hanging drapes to educational pieces on feeding goats. Continued best wishes for a solid career - and - even more important - a Happy Life!
I remember watching your early videos while I was in the process of deciding whether or not I should get an MBA. I'm now almost in the middle of my MBA journey and watching your post-college* journey as a consultant and entrepreneur has been nothing short of inspiring! Absolutely loved this video :)
Maybe another form of content you can try your hand at could be new york vs california, resources that helped you grow in a space (ie TH-cam) that isn't very conventional, more vlogs maybe (day/week in the life of a creator), etc.!
Looking forward to more awesome content from you 🎉
Taylor didn't earn an MBA. She got BS in Economics at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. She did a vid breaking down her course work.
@@jauntily oh yes! I keep getting confused that it was a dual degree, one of which was an international business course! Will edit :)
It's always motivational and some sort of pride that I feel when I see other people chase their dreams and get to work on what they love. I've been in the same boat with a software company ive started on the side. But always love to root and wishing you all the best it's crazy how much you've grown Taylor and keep pushing and making the world a better place. You bring smiles to thousands of people can't wait to see what you cook up in the future.
Thank you for this transparency! I always love to see behind the scenes videos: what products you use / things you invest in for better content/ things you'd do differently ❤
Well knock me over with a feather! Had absolutely no idea how complex this whole TH-cam 'thang' could be. Not so much interested in the monetary return, although cash is important, but the actual mechanics involved and the now obvious attraction for those intent on making a career of the medium is, for want of a better description, mind blowing. Have always believed you to be an intelligent young woman Taylor but to receive first hand input on a financial aspect such as this makes me realise just how clever you are. The presentation was top shelf and using what I assume is a spatula as a prop is some kind of genius 😂😂😂 Success beckons and just glad to have the opportunity to follow your journey - great video!!!!!!!
WOW Thank you so much for these kind words!!! And glad this was eye opening in that respect :) Thank you again!!
Loved the arts & crafts! ❤🎨
I would really love a video in future about how you developed your filming style/ how you taught yourself video editing
the amount of straighforward and transparent information and honesty in this video is something else, thank you for sharing.
To be honest, I'm not interested in content creation or youtube income possibilities. But I love your charisma and presentation so much, that I can watch you telling about basically anything and still enjoy! I don't miss almost none of your videos, because you you "infect" me with your confidence somehow. Thank you!
Hi Taylor
Brilliant video!
Liking your honest transparency - would love to see your fitness journey including your love of rock climbing and all things outdoors!
all the otherd youtubers just talk unnecessary things yappin all the time and not tell details about their income....but taykbell always shares her full experience without lying thats why i watch ur videos so carefully and give my attention when u speak..
One of the most neatly detailed videos I've ever seen from content creators. I might not fully understand it, but I can see its A LOT of work behind the scenes. Kudos to you!
Amazing content, thanks so much for breaking it down. I'm just about to hit my one year anniversary as a TH-cam creator and was monitized in January. The analytics regarding monetization and other related revenue streams can be a bit overwhelming and you did a great job dissecting them. Keep up the great work!
YESSSS
This is exactly the video I need now that I'm wanting to become a creator. Thank you it's hard to find information like this put so clearly.
Would love one that's beginner friendly about setting up accounts, banks, etc. for becoming creator. Like a simple walk through because as easy as it sounds there's almost no good tutorials online.
Thnx Taylor keep it up!
Do a video covering how you invest. It’s super interesting to see how different finance TH-camrs invest their money 😼🤔!
I really like the informational videos, but I love when you just go around NYC, even if it is just to the park o something like that. Touring apartments for kicks is great too
Thank you for being so transparent and adding value to your viewers. You just gained a new suscriber and a thumbs up!! Keep it up 👏👏
That is the first video I have seen from you. You get to then point smartly. Def like that. The spatula was awesome. Well done.
I am mesmerized by you. Your intelligence and the speed at which your brain processes information makes me dizzy ha ha. I think from now on you are going to be one of my most favorite TH-camrs but also it doesn’t hurt you to be beautiful. Did I mention that I appreciate your sense of humor? You are a rising star, and I expect that I will see that in the very near future. I wish you ever growing success.🤓
$300K!? Wow, I gotta keep it going on my own channel, lol. Great vid!
Funny this came out today... My wife and I discovered your channel literally last night and watched your speakeasy video and your new apartment tour video, and we were talking about the financial side of being a TH-camr. Then you came along today with the answers, right on cue.
Super interesting video. And the spatula/pointer is just perfect. In terms of creator-related content, some interesting videos could be: how to build viewership, how to collaborate with other creators, or how you use different platforms (e.g., social media) to build your brand.
Great video! Love the rubber spreader spatula pointer. Definitely helps draw the attention... or I may just be too much of a foody and start thinking of yummy food when I look at it. Money and food do make me happy...
I actually stumbled upon this via your old apartment tour video but really good breakdown and transparency on income streams
I'd really love to learn what influences, resources, turning points, etc. you were challenged by and benefitted from between your time at Warton to today! Also, a question that I ask my working friends to get introspective is: How do you define success? Thanks for all you do, Taylor! Great stuff!
I founded your channel 2 years ago because of my interest in consulting and I've been following since then. So I'm happy that you will continue in the consulting world in your own way. Answering your question I would like to know: 1. how you will carry out the consultancy with your clients? 2. For those who cannot yet pursue an MBA, what short courses or diplomas do you recommend taking? You mentioned something about marketing, could you make more videos where you talk about specific areas we need to focus on, either to provide consultancy or that organizations should implement?
Thank you so much for democratising this sort of information - super insightful and helpful! Absolutely love your content!!!!
Great video and so accurate to the creator experience and reality. In the beauty space, affiliate is massive for us too. Loved your presentation. I’m happy that I found you.
The physical pie charts were unique and really helped sell your points
Hi Taylor, I always feel blessed to be on your Channel ❤️
I'll be 35 this year. I really wanted to know how to be happy, glowing, and keep going like you 💘?
I know it's not the perfect question, but still I really wanted to know.
Question 2. Do you see there's a room for a Small Scale Consulting Business, if I open it? I think it's a good idea 💡 to make a separate video on it.
I can understand it might be stressful for You as you came out of it and didn't like it.
Take Care 🤗
God Bless You All 💓
I came here trough the apartment video - today :) I actually have a large, almost unique business (I build large stuff from LEGO bricks, but really large), and I have zero presense online - and this video made me think more about it. I have enough to invest in whatever is needed for TH-cam content creator (space, enterier, full time editor, quality equipment etc), but I am little bit on a fense regarding all the unknowns
Video Idea : An realistic introspection into your life as creator. Like how you work? How you get creative energy? How you recharge? Day in the life + Deep talk in the same video. I like these type of videos. Plus : I really love the way you make video. You calm me down. So thank you.❤
Bahaha love the blooper real. I feel this way all the time with my small little 3k subscriber channel. Saw your interview on someone else’s channel looking forward to your content!
This was great to know. Thanks for sharing the details and it's great that TH-cam is working out great for ya!!!
Please do a day in the life of how you work all your income streams
If 24% makes up your investment appreciation annually, assuming 300K annual income, that’s 78K a year in investment returns. Assuming an annualized return rate of 20% (which is pretty high) you must have invested 390k? (Possibly more)
If the above is right, for being in your twenties that’s amazing! Congrats on that aspect too
She hasn’t always made that much so not the same
I would like to see a video on how you budget for stuff like food/groceries, toiletries, clothes, travel, rent, etc. when your income is so wildly different each month/year.
You are one of the most intelligent content creators. I am searching for useful information created by clever people. You are one of the best, congratulations! Just please keep carry on like this for as long as possible.
I am a new youtuber, and still learning the do's and don'ts and then I bump into this video, this partly give a bit of pinch in my heart coz I'm still too far from reality, but inspired that it's possible to get. how you explained it is very helpful for new YTUBER LIKE ME
It's the spatula and great handwriting for me. Awesome content, thanks for sharing. NYC is one of my favorite places to visit, would love to have an extended stay there once in this lifetime!
You are phenomenal! I would love to see more of your videos showcasing what a typical day is like for a full-time creator. Sending positive vibes! ❤️
I’m a creator in a completely different niche and starting to spread my wings a little. Thanks for this content. Super helpful & informative. 😊
The spatula though hahah
Really awesome video. You put a lot of effort into the editing and detailed explanation!
