Here’s the truth about monetizing content creation: from ad revenue alone, I could have made more money in 4-5 hours at McDonalds than I did on my Spain finale video.
But the thing is, the payout has to be the least of your concerns at this level. If I was doing this for the money, 1. I would be very dumb, and 2. the only metric that is valuable at this level is continued growth but more importantly, community.
Views come and go, but the way you gain consistency in views is not through making crazier and crazier videos, it’s by building your channel base. The more you do that, the more of a boost your video will get because of initial subscriber interaction.
If you can pair that with the other 2 keys to a successful YouTube video, I.e a great thumbnail and the first 30 seconds keeping as many viewers retained as possible, you have yourself a video that will sail through the algorithm.
If you’re a small channel like mine, don’t get disheartened by small numbers, because it only takes consistency and finding your niche to start breaking out of the mold.
