Congratulations! That's a great achievement. Last time I made $10,000, it took me 5 years. Keep the videos coming and thank you for all the info and sharing.
I have made just under £60 in a whole year on TH-cam and half of it came from a video I posted 2 weeks ago which has 9.8k views. If I was doing TH-cam for money only I would have given up by now but I do it cos I love connecting with people. I can't live on TH-cam income obviously lol but I am happy for those who can. Was really generous of you to get gifts for people too out of your money😀
I haven't seen any youtubers that completely show their youtube income in detail like this before, thank you so much! Wish you the best on your future career.
First off, congratulations on your success on YT! I found your page because I’m turning 30 and ran across your viral video. 2nd, sis ! Our words have power! Don’t say that you don’t think you’ll ever make 4k again. You did it once, why would you NOT be able to do it again? Praying for continued success & multiple 4k, 40k & even 400k months!
And now it’s May, and TH-cam just suggested your video to me, so it’s still making the rounds. I’m glad things are looking up for you. I hope that continues.
I'm so glad you went to the point and told us how much youtube paid you. Now I can watch your video and finish it bcoz you're such a generous person. ❤❤😂 👌🏾
DAMN!!! Congratulations!!! Thats amazing. See what you could do when you took your life into your own hands and believed in yourself? You took a big chance and it paid off. So inspiring!!
Thank you! My subs normally don't know when I've posted unless they turn on notifications. YT sends my videos for new people to watch instead of my subs which is odd. I MIGHT give an update if anything drastic changes! lol
@@xoxoakouto yeah!! i really appreciate u showing that because it was really encouraging and motivating to keep going w my own channel, so thank u!! so happy for u and can’t wait to see where else it leads u!
Thank you for sharing this with us! I've been on TH-cam for 6 years, and the only time i went viral was during the pandemic, so i didnt get accepted into the TH-cam partner program right away due to delays from Google. I'm so grateful I still leveraged that opportunity to make money by selling digital products, 1:1 coaching, courses, etc. There is so much potential for you to monetize your existing audience, even if you're not getting as many views. I'll make a video about it & I hope that it helps. I'm so passionate about this topic. ❤
I just went live on my channel to break down some ways to make money on youtube even with low views! I know you probably won't see it, but if you do... I hope it helps!
Thank you for sharing this breakdown, it gives me hope to keep going in this space because it can be discouraging without views but we got to focus on the goal. Congratulations for the milestone, more success to you 🎉.
Congratulations 🥰🥰 Anyone here still giving up on their channel? Keep pushing, you're closer than you think, it is quality over quantity, we got this sis, thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love your transparency and how you’ve taken the time to break this down ! I’ve always wondered how content creators were paid , thank you for the insight ❤ All the best on your journey girlie !!!
I'm so happy for you baby, after hearing your story in the previous video, i thought i really want this girl to find her happiness and find out that it was all worth it. I hope youtube gives you this kind of happiness
I like your honesty. It’s what brought me here. I watched your viral video a day after it was uploaded and remember leaving a comment which still gets likes till date. I’m so happy to see how far you’ve come. I’m rooting for you and i wish you the very best on your journey
New Subscriber here. You are absolutely stunning. Thank you so very much for sharing this information. It is very USEFUL. I hope your Channel BLOWS UP and that you become very SUCCESSFUL being a CONTENT CREATOR. 🙏💖💕
Congratulations girl , you deserve every penny and every bit of success 🎊!! Your vulnerability, authenticity , and beauty shine through !!! Thank you so much for the transparency you rarely see that from creators nowadays ! So happy to follow your journey and can't to see you on billboards one day!!!🎉
Hello! I love your content, and I feel very identified with you. I am Argentina, I am 29 years old, I am about to graduate and I feel lost. I have watched some of your videos and you have motivated me and given me the courage to start making videos myself. I think I have been through very hard times and currently my country is in a very strong economic crisis that often knocks me down and I only see darkness. I need to take action, and maybe by making videos telling my story I can get over it. I just wanted to say that. Thank you for existing and encouraging you to share your life with us, you are very valuable, xoxo.
Really appreciate your transparency and how direct you are here! As a new TH-camr this is very helpful 💖. Rooting for you and your success Akouto! And we're manifesting more viral videos, more money, and more sponsorships for you! ✨
Im so encouraged to hear this coz I just started my channel last week & just at 12 subs & looking forward to more views & subs. Thx for the transparency
Straight to the point from the beginning of the video, but still made it till the end, cause you made it really interesting. Good luck with the hustle. Also, u could start to say your name in the very beginning of your videos, idk just a suggestion
This is so insightful. It helps me finally understand how much some creators are actually probably making. Which before, i had no fucking idea. No one spills the beans in this way. And i know you are gunning for another viral video, THIS should be it. This is absolutely amazing information that ive never seen shared so transparently!!
15:41 Damn. For 5 months even after taxes, that's really good. That's basically what I make in a year after taxes, and I'm working every week of the year. I can't remember my last real vacation.
@@xoxoakouto I was wrong. I checked my financials and I make closer to 30K per year if I work 5 days a week, 52 weeks. I have no access to paid vacation, so every day not worked is a loss.
Yay!!! glad you make more! yea that's the thing about doing work in exchange for hours, you lose if you miss a day. That's one of the reasons why i like freelance, you can make your own hours and get paid for passive work.
You are a sweetheart. I do think you should maximize your success. 2400 is a lot right now but overall it isn't. If you have a side hustle you can probably write things off on your taxes. Have you thought of getting a real estate license and use your channel to market that or show people how to go about it. You are in LA and you should be able to sell there. This is just a suggestion but it would be great to see you out of the house doing activities since you live in a fantastic place.
7:19 How crazy is this... As soon as you said, "Get ready for it." an ad played, cutting me off at the exact same moment as the beginning of the video... What are the odds??
@@xoxoakouto It's better to let Y T place the ads, though. Another channel, Diane Jennings, found she was getting less ad revenue from place ads herself, so she just let the algo take the wheel.
They’re considered self employed, so in addition to paying federal and state income taxes, assuming their state has income tax, they also have to pay the full amount of Social Security and Medicare tax. Employees only pay half (6.2% for SS, 1.45% for Medicare), and the employer pays the other half, but independent contractors and self employed people have to pay the entire 15.3% themselves.
Congratulations! That's a great achievement. Last time I made $10,000, it took me 5 years. Keep the videos coming and thank you for all the info and sharing.
What did you make that $10,000 doing?
@@ShanaJahsintaWaltersI wanna know too
@@404.archives Hopefully we will get an answer.
i got VERY lucky!!
@@xoxoakouto Nothing wrong with a little luck.
Thanks for revealing the number so early in your video -- I love that you're direct. Wishing you more success
Of course! Ain't nobody got time to waste and wait 25 mins later for the reveal! haha!
So BEYOND thrilled to know that TH-cam changed your life for the better. Also, you just gained a new subscriber
Girl I'm so happy for you. i love that you played no games in telling us the pay in the beginning of the video. You earned a fan of me from that.
“Want to see what it is? Get ready for it!” COMMERCIAL 😅
gotta make that maney haney hahahha😄

Me too 😂 she's awesome
Congratulations girl that's a lot of money I hope grace find me as well.
So happy to you
You also looks happier
I'm so glad you went to the point and told us how much youtube paid you. Now I can watch your video and finish it bcoz you're such a generous person. ❤❤😂 👌🏾

I don't understand how you can have so many subscribers and little number of views. You deserve so much! I would like an update in a few months!
Subscribers don't always watch. Plus, there are the algorithms. I Subscribe to lots of channels don't always watch their contents
Thank you! My subs normally don't know when I've posted unless they turn on notifications. YT sends my videos for new people to watch instead of my subs which is odd. I MIGHT give an update if anything drastic changes! lol
wow that amount is actually really good??? i was not expecting that lollll
i was very surprised too! I honeslty think TH-cam is the best about paying their creators!
