Congrats Humphrey! Been a follower from them early days in 2020 and since have closed on my first home, maxed out my Roth IRA the past 3 years and have a very diverse portfolio while also being a patreon subscriber to you for over the past year. I’m nowhere near where I foresee myself in the future but I know I’m on my way and you are a big help to that, my friend.
I appreciate you showing the actual numbers, and this is some of the best advice I've heard so far for TH-cam -- which I would have never thought I'd hear from a personal finance channel, but this goes to show your analytical awareness and thoughtfulness
I appreciate that although this video is about your earnings as a creator, it more generally outlines TH-cam philosophy as a whole. As a fellow creator (much MUCH smaller than you), I can relate to so many points - specifically when a video flops after you thought it was "god's gift to earth". I respect that you've ventured out of your comfort zone in the last little while - I've really enjoyed the change in pace. Keep it up!
I began my investment journey at the age of 33, primarily through hard work and dedication. Now at the age of 38, I am thrilled to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advice mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long-term financial prosperity.
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $483k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.

Thanks, I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a call.
I clicked this video and as I watched I forgot this only has 50K+ views … as I watched I thought ‘wow no wonder this video has 1M+ views’ then I realised it doesn’t …. This video deserves soooo much more views!! Thank you for the genuine helpful information 🙌🏽
Super happy for you. Been watching religiously and recommend to everyone since I discovered the channel. Good luck for the next mil of subscribers and dollars!
I often find myself laughing a bit at many personal finance channels; for giving generic advice that's been repeated a million times, for clickbaity content and for a lack of transparency. On that basis this video has just given you a whole lot more legitimacy in my eyes. I find your content to be more authentic, and I appreciate that.
I always say that the ins and outs of social media don't particularly interest me, but when informative videos such as this gets put in my path (regardless if I'm subscribed or not), it's always interesting to see how y'all turned a small passion into something so amazingly big (whilst teaching someone out there a thing or two). So interesting to see! But congrats on all your success man! You're so transparent and open about everything lol, plus you're always clear and concise about anything you talk about! Humphrey, I wish you nothing but the best and continued success in everything you do. You're so inspiring! 🤍
This by far the best TH-cam revenue review video I’ve ever seen. I love how he takes it from the beginning and shares the journey and what to expect (best case scenario) along the way!
Hey Humphrey, I don't often comment on things but I wanted to add to your appreciation for how far you've grown by telling you how much your channel has helped me grow. I started my financial journey in 2020, and I found your channel in 2021. I am behind where I should be, in my 30s with a lot of student debt and a retirement account that only goes back 2 years, but I have been gaining knowledge and making up for lost time every day, and you have been a big part of that learning process. I managed to max out my Roth IRA contribution for the first time this year, a big milestone for me, and I am getting comfortable with risk management in my investments, and most of all I have clear goals with what I want to accomplish and a timeframe for doing so. In a very real way, you have helped me to have the possibility for financial independence, and a future free of being weighed down by money, so I want to thank you for that. I hope the channel keeps growing, you do good work.
Appreciate the transparency, Humphrey! I found your channel during the pandemic and found your 401k vs Roth IRA video and became a fan since. I love the Wednesday and Sunday newsletter as well. Keep it up sir!
thank yooou for this video, generally people who just reached 10k 20k subscribers are sharing the numbers. I really appreciate for your video. It motivates me a lot.
Thanks for this video and advices, man! Just been monetized from about 3 weeks now and now I'm strugglin' here, working hard...Cheers and good luck everybody!
Been following or a little while. Really enjoy this channel ,really concise information without any waffle. Quite an odd request granted, but id love to have a small video where you cover the tech (Camera, microphones,lighting) and softwares you use to create videos. Things you've learnt along the way etc.... id love to see this content
Thank you for the transparency! It's really interesting to see the high and lows of TH-cam. I don't plan to make videos but it is a topic I'm curious about. 😊 Consistency and hardwork is key. Valuable for others who wishes to do social media as a career.
You are awesome Humphreys. I always look forward to watching your content . They are very entertaining and informative. keep it up. BTW, sorry about your girl taylor swift getting taken away lol
Appreciate you showing this video. I have just started about two months ago and seeing this from someone who's done it. It inspires me to continue since I'm for the long run, currently i'm just at 25 🤓subscribers.
Very encouraging. TH-cam does need persistence. It’s harder for me to be patient cause I make chunks day trading or through affiliate marketing and selling domains. TH-cam initially feels like a lot of effort for little results but it does actually eventually payoff. It’s worth it.
Following along with your guidance helped me maintain financial stability throughout my grad school studies, a period of life known for ramen noodles and low income. Now I'm starting a career in the financial sector despite not getting a Master's in that field. Thanks so much for everything.
Thank you for this analysis and transparency. I'm doing something similar with a seminar on starting a garden design business. Sharing numbers is about helping others, gaining trust, and connecting.
Humphrey, I discovered your channel this year and it’s been a great help! One idea or topic you could touch on that’s coming up is tax season. Not sure if you want to play in that field, but a question I’ve been wondering is it better to pay more taxes throughout the year and get a bigger return, or pay just the right amount and get no return. Would love to see a comparison video on this 😎
Appreciate all of the content over the years. Curious - do you do all of your own video edits? They're super good and I'm sure very time intensive so was curious.
Hey Humphrey, been a big fan of yours since the early days - really love your content - has helped me shape a position on how I should be looking to build wealth. Really quick one... Do you own and operate your own Facebook page? I have had a few messages back and forth and want to know if its really you regarding the topics we're talking about here.. if not I think you might want to double check that you haven't been hacked.
Ok, heads up. I think it has been hacked and someone is using your account to try and get me (and potentially other our other followers) to send them crypto - might want to delete or flag with Facebook. I have DMs if you want me to share.
I remember subscribing to you after you did the Jeff Bezos rice video on tik Tok. When was that? I've always been a personal finance nerd and your videos are top notch.
Such a great video. I know I'm not going to be a youtube star but being transparent and sharing the numbers and tips is very insightful. I got hooked on this channel when you did a video about shrimp lab usa. Keep up the great work and wishing you success to 10m plus subs
I think it is also good to not have videos that are too long. 10-20 minutes is about all I can tolerate. I follow a guy and every video is an hour and 15 minutes. No way I am going to watch that. But I like your content. Keep it up.
I’m the exact opposite. Due to the material I watch I generally think that 10-20 minutes isn’t enough time to discuss what the video claims to discuss. If I video title says “why X show is the greatest show” your video can’t be 20 minutes and be accurate, it just can’t. That’s not enough time to accurately explain a 100 episode show and why it’s great or whatever thesis you have. But that’s specific to what I watch I guess.
Sounds good but if you consider $523000 / 4 years = 130k per year. Then, he did mention that he has a team of a few people.. hmm.. that makes me wonder, isn't it better to be at a traditional career path making 150-200k in finance/tech sales with 401k, RSU, match and health insurance with TH-cam as a side gig...
@@FIREownyourtime Agreed, those are my exact thoughts. Unless he can grow even more but still, depending on how big the team is, he might only get a small piece of the pie
My TH-cam. Actually growing now I just started Oct 28 now I’m almost on 200k view and over 4000 subs 😊 most of my videos are getting high ti 15000k views one of my videos 55k views 😊
Gotta disagree about mark rober. I mean I know he makes really good videos and he’s smart, but his thumbnails are so ridiculously photoshopped and clickbait-y that it makes me never want to click them
Sounds good until you split $523k into 4 years. Thats roughly 130k per year. For one person. With no 401k, 403b match or RSU or health insurance... I'd imagine you have a team to help with edits. Say 2 people. Split that revenue 3 ways then taxes taken out. Not as lucrative as i thought... except maybe if you can consistently make $300-400k per year... It is definitely a good channel with informative videos.
A little bit of a different vid today! Appreciate you watching regardless of when you subscribed (or if you havent but just watch)
The Shervin shoutout was my fav. Underrated TH-camr.
what software do you use for motion graphics on your videos such as when you having graphs and article highlighting?
I love Humphrey for his transparency. Very few financial channels talk about this and their portfolio etc.
thank you
Him being of asian decent also adds to his legitimacy
@@admiralgoodboy lol ill take it

Awesome video ! The revenue numbers that you shared are in USD or diff dollar currency like Taiwanese? I assume it’s USD.

Incredible insight and super encouraging to see. Thank you for yet another incentive to continue!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much for this! Most to the point, naturally flowing version of this style of video I've seen! 🔥
Thanks for sharing. Its not so often you get such candid transparency. This is part of why your channel will continue to grow - insightful and honest.
Thank you
You Inspired me to finally start my long anticipated TH-cam Channel🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🥳
Good job Humphrey, your hard work paid off and it gave me an idea on how TH-cam as an income source work
Wow! This is very inspiring Humphrey. I enjoy your videos 😀
Appreciate you showing this video. I have just started about two months ago and seeing this from someone who's done it. It inspires me to continue since I'm for the long run, currently i'm just at 25 🤓subscribers.
Fantastic breakdown! My wife and I are on the cusp of starting a gardening/homesteading YT channel and this is quite inspiring!
Amazing! Keep it going.
Very encouraging. TH-cam does need persistence. It’s harder for me to be patient cause I make chunks day trading or through affiliate marketing and selling domains. TH-cam initially feels like a lot of effort for little results but it does actually eventually payoff. It’s worth it.
I have 1.13M and I'm not even close to breaking six figures💀. Shorts don't pay well smh.
wow your verified nice
This was a very interesting video to me as someone not involved in the scene. Appreciate you sharing.

Amazing my friend :) thank you for the comment
Great progress! Thanks for sharing your stats! Very helpful and inspiring to see
Great video - clear, concise and so informative!
I’m not into finance, I was recommended this video, and I really pulled a lot from it. Thank you. 🙌
You're so welcome!
Love the channel and your transparency in this video. How about some livestreams? You would need several moderators. Or Q&A videos.
Love the radical candor.
yeah, Wealth killer pulled me! Glad I subscribed and watched more!
I’m a brand new channel - a week old today! 🎉 and this video helped me so so much. Thank you!!
Great content to demystify what the journey is and with data.
You give a lot of good advice. Well deserved 👍👏
I appreciate that!
fantastic from you well done, i think everyone whose watched this is hoping to get to the same levels which you have achieved, i know i am

the investment short videos on youtube made me subscribe back then. but your videos have become very helpful over the years
thank you
Great video thanks for making this its so insightful and useful to small creators like myself 😃
definitely~!
Do you still get enough views on the old videos, are those getting rediscovered? Or once they did not receive views initially, they are lost forever?

Meta and Instagram need to follow suit and pay creators like TH-cam. it's a beyond cheap, small minded move from them not doing so at the moment

Also is it just you or do you have a team? In the video you kept mentioning "we"
me and a couple people!
So the likes dont matter? Just the views?
They dont matter that much, but they are a good proxy metric of how many people enjoy your video
So $2.52 per 1000 views? Seems low. I am getting $8-9
