    Because I've done a few videos where I speak about my house, the finances involved and also the ways myself and others have made money online/through social media, I thought it would be 'on brand' to make a follow up video where I reveal how much youtube paid me for my tiny house video. like I said, this isn't intended to be a boastful or big headed video, it's just something I'm interested in and is something that people have shown interest in, in the past. if people don't like me speaking about this kind of thing any more, then I'll totally understand avoid it in the future.

      Actually, we, the great unfilmed, enjoy these glimpses behind the potential earnings of TH-cam. A lot of people have turned this unlikely method of employment into very successful businesses. Whether TH-cam replaces someone's full-time job or perhaps acts as a retirement gap filler. It is good information for someone trying to determine if TH-cam is a platform with potential for success. I have found some channels owned by people who may never have been successful in a "normal" job but have totally rocked it on TH-cam.

      Another TH-camr made a similar explanation video last year, and he was a Welsh studio musician doing videos on that subject. If I recall he was getting £1.50 per 1000 views or something. A lot of it was dependant on which advertising was clicked on by viewers, so maybe house related ads generate more money than music ones?

Luckily there are adblockers and other ways to block these.

      It's a great insight and motivator and of course this profession is a very competitive business and also dependant on the algorithm and channel support / random drive by visitors etc. The youtube video is one thing as it involves an insane amount of work to look professional, and then there is the actual preparation of the content and associated costs plus the actual labour. Therefore, assuming its run as a business, or at least followed business practices, an overview of what we would call management accounts would give a real sense of the actual revenues involved. To be honest, the £46k sounds amazing, but in reality after deducting taxes, expenses and cost of production etc the earnings are relative. Still, it would feel so great to get such a deposit into ones bank account for all ones hard work so I really agree with you it is mind blowing, especially if you can churn out content like this with the associated views for at least five times in the year :)

Thing is social media is based on communication, so this weird 'talking about money is impolite' mentality only serves them.

What drew me second is your general demeanor. You come across as a genuinely nice and humble person. Refreshing!

    I feel like this video is a lot more educational than it is bragging about your success.
    For one it really details the difference between the income a viral video (which is unpredictable and shouldn't be counted on) can bring, and the income a normal video for a relatively popular TH-cam video can bring.
    It lets people know roughly how much to expect if you intend to become a professional TH-camr and as such how often you will need to produce content worthy of watching if you intend to make a livable income.

    The rule of remodeling, is that everything will cost 3x as much as you planned, and take 5x as long. Everything that could possibly go wrong will, and then there will be more surprises on top of that.
