Okay, Nate. So, how much money can I really make doing YouTube videos? -Good question.
Would you like to actually see some examples? -That's fun. -Like I can tell you
some numbers. But let me... Let me show you some examples. Take you behind the scenes
and show you how much money we're making. -Perfect.
Okay. So, the first things I'll show you... I'll just come in here to my YouTube
studio beta. I come over here to analytics. I'm signed in from my own
channel. See, only made 465 bucks in the last 28 days.
That doesn't sound like a whole lot. But I actually make the YouTube ad revenue.
I'm going to switch to an account here. But I'll switch over to the Kris Krohn
channel. And on this channel, this channel in the last 28 days.
This is actually my revenue. $8,700 has come to me just on this channel. So,
another way that I can show you this... It all gets paid to me through Adsense. So,
you can see here the last payment, it's kind of small right there. The last
payment that I received was $10,554.
YouTube pays that out on the 21st of the month. So, on July 21st, they
paid me for the amount of revenue. I made from June 1st to June 30th. And that was
the amount. You see the previous month... It fluctuates. It's been as high as like
18,000. In a particular month, that was a good month for Adsense
revenue. -So, how realistic is this income? How long... Just
does it take? How many videos I have to make? -Yeah. So, it's taken me about 4
and three-quarter years to get to this this revenue just from Adsense. And
certainly for the first 3 years, it was not even a thousand dollars. So,
you've got to be getting millions of views before you'll make thousands of
dollars. So, I've definitely made a lot more money and started making money a
lot sooner in other ways and that's what we'll cover in actually the next
episode. I'm going to show you all the different ways that you can make money
on YouTube. Specifically for this episode, we're just talking about
advertising revenue and and what is realistic. So, in the case with with Kris
Krohn, we launched this channel 4 and a half years ago. But we were only doing
one episode per week at most. And then after 2 years, we increased to 5
episodes per week. And it still took time for adsense revenue to kick in and
become significant. But 6 months after going what we call daily --5 or more
episodes per week, we had our first 100 grand month. This channel
actually makes between 5 and 6 hundred thousand dollars every month. We
saw the ad revenue. That's typically... You know, between 8 and
18 thousand per month. But we're making 5 to 6 hundred thousand
dollars per month on the sales that Kris makes of his products and programs.
That make sense? -Yeah. -So, we'll talk more about that in the next episode. So, I'll
just show you another example. This is John Crestani. We actually just
crossed 100,000 subscribers the other day. So, we're pretty excited. We
can now get the the silver play button. This is my second client to have earned
that. That's pretty cool. You know, his ad revenue, it's it's a few thousand dollars
a month. Like, yeah, you know... I don't have permission to show you the exact
behind-the-scenes numbers. But he makes a lot of videos on you know how to
make this amount of money online. And he talks a lot of about a lot of stuff
publicly because he does affiliate marketing. And he does Amazon and he does
Clickbank where he'll you know, create websites or create promotion campaigns
and direct money to other people's websites where they pay out commissions
and stuff like that. -And this was your second client you said... -This is
the second client of mine that's hit a 100,000 subscribers.
-How long has he been doing YouTube videos? -I've
producing his channel for about 6 months and he had a pre-existing channel with
about 60,000. So, while his ad revenue is cool that it's it's starting to cover
the cost of producing his YouTube channel. And he's happy about that. His
business and from that the traffic he generates, the things that he sells, he is
making millions and millions of dollars from this YouTube channel. And I'll show
you another example that we started from scratch. --Paul Jenkins. He's a positivity
psychologist. Okay, this is a channel where I can... I can actually take you
behind the scenes and I have permission to show you behind the curtains. We're up
to almost 75,000 subscribers. We're generating a lot of
leads from the channel. I'll show you what Adsense looks like. So, if I go into
the YouTube studio, I guess I could have just clicked right there and click on
analytics. You'll see that we're into the thousand dollar range over the last
28 days. Made $1,200 on this channel. And it's
fluctuated. A little bit higher, a little bit lower. So, that's not enough to really
make a living but it's... It's starting become significance. It's like, "Well, yeah.
We would miss it, if we didn't make it in a particular month." But has a
video as a parenting course. A lot of the videos that he makes are "How to get kids
to listen without yelling?" Or you know, about helping kids that have a problem
with bedwetting or different things like that. And he has programs that he sells.
So, people watch his videos then they leave and they go to his website and
they'll buy programs. And that's where you know a lot more revenue than this is
that is obviously coming from. -So people like quit their job just to do YouTube, you'll
say, "Keep your job. Grow this. Develop more services or products and then you can do
that" -You know, definitely because there's... You know, have you heard a VidCon?
The big YouTuber convention lots of fans go to see they're YouTube
heroes. Well, I read an article once of a musician who at the time was performing
on stage at VidCon, had screaming fans. Everyone loved her. She had a half
million subscribers on her YouTube channel. And she told the person who
wrote the article she got off the stage, she just says, "Yeah, that this is great and
all. But I don't have any food in my fridge." She wasn't making enough off of
the ad revenue to even feed herself. There's there's more ways to
make money on YouTube than just the Adsense. And so that's what we'll cover
in the next episodes is what are these other ways. And this one, I just want to
let you know, "Yeah, you can make a career out of YouTube." -Do you have any... -So, I am
launching one myself. There is such a huge opportunity in the wellness space.
People searching for Fitness. People searching for nutrition. An example that
I can give of a video that I filmed is "How to get rid of strep throat without
antibiotics?" People are just asking so specific questions like that that. You
make a video that answers that question, you'll start to instantly get lots of
traffic and just and build a following around that. So, I can show you one that I
just launched. Okay, so be prepared to be impressed. We've got a whopping 17
subscribers on this channel. We launched 2 episode so far. But yeah, this is an
area where I think there's huge, huge opportunities because there's so much
interest in in wellness. I personally don't follow anyone. There's
a vegan guys Simnett nutrition. It is like pull-ups and
kinesthetics or except the type of exercise we use your own bodyweight? -I
know what you're talking about. Yeah. -Anyway. So, yeah. I can show you that one as well. I think it's
Simnett nutrition. So, this guy, he's got 320,000
subscribers and I know that he makes a good living off of his YouTube
channel. He's a coach. So, there's a lot of examples out there and I
definitely think that there's room for you. -Yeah. Because you know, you
think that it's saturated. The markets already saturated with all this Wellness
Coaches and videos. There's room for this where you know, it's clear that
there's still a lot of... -The secret is hardly any of them recognize the
opportunity of doing the keyword research like we're going to do coming up.
Because there's so many questions that people are asking. You
know, when we just come up with topics off out of our head, like, "Well, I want
to do..." Like you mentioned earlier. "I want to do a series.. Week of videos on
smoothies. And then another week on juice." If you actually find all the questions
people are asking about smoothies, you could make an entire year, you know, an
episode every day just on smoothies. Because there's so many questions. I was
going to show you example. You know, we'll save that for the next episode because
actually dive in and all and I'll show you that. Alright. So, in the next episode,
we'll talk a little bit more about how to make money on YouTube. All the
different strategies and then the episode after that, well actually go in
and do the topic brainstorm so you can figure out how to find these questions for.
Sound good? -Sounds great. -Alright, we'll see you in the next episode.
