Hey friends and if you're a friend that I haven't met yet, hello my name's Adelle Ramcharan.
I've been a full time YouTuber for three years now.
During this time, I have worked with and met with some amazing people and because I built
a business around my YouTube channel, I've also made more money than I ever have before.
And on this channel, I like to share my secrets about life, love and YouTube money.
And I have a reputation for being real with my audience and speaking candidly about the
things that no one else is willing to.
So welcome and if you'd like to join us here on a regular basis, make sure you hit the

Today I thought it would be fun to go back in time and have a look at my first YouTube
check and kind of see how it lines up with some of my older videos.
But I ran into a little bit of a problem.
You see, back in 2013 Adsense issued a notification that they would be deleting payment histories
up til that point.
So when I went to go to my account, you can search view payment history and you can choose
past three months, past six months and there's a choice that's like for all time.
So I chose to go back as far as all time.
Now the first payment that was listed there was from June of 2014 and that was for about
231 dollars.
For those of you who have been following me for a while, you know that I now make over
two thousand dollars a month on YouTube.
Um I made a video talking about that and showing you that check which I will link at the end.
You know, 230 dollars that was really exciting for me to be making you know free money off
the internet, it was like something that just wasn't real.
It was something that you know I heard other people doing and I never really, thought I
could experience it for myself.
So having that I mean it means something you know that can pay bills, that can help you
but I mean you can't really survive on that.
However, one thing that I am very good at is turning a small amount of subscribers and
views into a business that can make you way more money than the money you make from Google
Adsense.
I've got a video called top 3 ways to make money on YouTube that goes into detail on
those a bit more in depth and I'll link that at the end as well.
Ok so let's go back here and have a look at my older videos.
Okay, wow.
And let's check out the waterfast video.This was one of the first videos I had that really
kind of starting taking off.
I remember I uploaded it and within about two weeks it had I think twenty thousand views
and that was a big deal for me!
That was when I first started seeing views on my channel really, that was a big deal.
Now if we look, we've got the date that this was uploaded okay February of 2013.
So after this video was posted was when I really started making money on YouTube because
Adsense deleted all the payment history that came before June of 2013 I won't have the
exact amounts um my accountant has that on file.
But this about how far back I was making money on YouTube.
In order to get paid from YouTube or Adsense for the first time, you have to meet the threshold
requirements, so that's one hundred dollars.
So once you've made at least one hundred dollars that's when you'll get paid.
So yeah, this is where it all started for me.
Before you can worry about you know building a business of anything like that, you have
to start getting some views and some subscribers you have to start somewhere.
So for anyone who's watching this you might be kind of curious about the power of YouTube,
do what I did!
Pick up a camera and record an interesting, you know funny story from your life, upload
it and see what happens.
So that's what I did with my ten day water fast video and to this day, that video has
been seen by over one million people all around the world.
As some as you know, I have put my best secrets for making money on YouTube into my e-book,
it's called how to make money on YouTube, get more views, get more subscribers and get
paid.
Now in this e-book, I sweep back the curtain, going into detail on some of my biggest money
making videos and teaching you how you can do it too.
When you buy that you get a free e-book that I wrote called YouTube cheats.
Youtube cheats teaches you how to make the most money on YouTube in the least amount
of time.
Now the tricks mentioned there are downright dirty but they're completely legal and they
work.
There's a coupon code and a link below this video if you want to grab a copy of those
for yourself.Those of you who know me know that this is all part of a bigger picture
for me.
I spent a lot of my life suffering.
With mysterious autoimmune illnesses, depression and anxiety.
And having to work multiple jobs you know that's stressful enough but you know, doing
it under those circumstances, I would say it was like going through hell.
But the thing is that I always believed and I always had hope and I never stopped learning.
I wanted to be financially free and to be doing work that was meaningful to me.
You know, I went to school for forestry, I technically didn't have any of the textbook
qualifications to become an entrepreneur.
But I spent hundreds of hours researching online, attending entrepreneur conferences
and meetup groups.
And purchasing e-books and online courses from people who had this lifestyle that I
wanted to live someday.
And here I am, I did it.
You know, I wouldn't be able to live this lifestyle of living out in the mountains in
peace and serenity surrounded by the most beautiful nature in the world, if I hadn't
followed up on a feeling that there was something here for me.
And the fact that I have been able to change and affect the lives of thousands of people
around the world, that is more than I could have ever asked for.
So if you're watching this video, something called you to click on it, something inspired
you to listen and pay attention and there maybe something here for you, you know a little
seed that could grow into something amazing in your life if you just start to take action
towards your dream.
