Of course, for
thousands of YouTubers, the answer is “nothing,” or “very little.” However,
there are many YouTubers who make a comfortable living off their video
channels. Moreover, of course, there is a small elite group who make an
extraordinary income from the videos they create and post online as you can see
from this infographic.
When it comes to
earning a YouTube income success breeds success. You will find that the hardest
dollar to earn is your first. The more subscribers you have, the more people will
click on your ads. The more people click on your ads, the more you make a name
for yourself, the higher the likelihood of brands offering you sponsorship or
merchandise deals. The better known your channel becomes, the greater your
chance of joining a multi-channel network. It is like being on a giant
upwards-climbing spiral.
How Much can YouTubers Make?
What Can You Earn In Your
Channel’s Early Days?
You are unlikely to be
earning anything as you place your first video on YouTube. You are a video
fledgling, and certainly a long way from being considered an influencer.
However, everyone has to start at the bottom. Even PewDiePie was an unknown
uploading his first video in 2010. He is now so famous that people make videos
interviewing PewDiePie’s early subscribers, about whether they feel famous.
Back at the beginning, he was still making niche videos in Swedish.
In theory, you can
sign up for an Adsense account and enable your channel for monetization from
the moment you create a YouTube channel. However, in practice, you are unlikely
to make any real money until you have built up traffic to your site - and by
that, I mean genuine traffic from people who watch your videos, not by taking
the shortcut method of paying for views.
Although there are some adverts that are CPM (cost per thousand
views), many are CPC (cost per click). For you to earn anything from a CPC ad,
you need a viewer to click on the ad. In reality, only a small percentage of
your viewers will click on the ads surrounding your videos. Even the CPM ads in
the video itself require more than just a cursory glance. For it to be counted
for payment, a viewer must watch them for at least 30 seconds (or half the ad
for a very short video). Think how many people skip past the ad at the start of
a video, thus wiping out any chance of payment to the channel. If viewers do
click on or view your ads for long enough to earn income, you share any advertising
revenue with YouTube. You will only get paid once your AdSense account
reaches $100.
In your channel’s
early days you are building up a reputation rather than an income.
One area you might
start to make money with a relatively small number of subscribers is if you
pick a popular topic and participate in affiliate marketing. For instance, if
your videos review a popular type of product, and you link to an affiliate
sales page for that product you may begin to earn money that way.

Of course some niches are easier than others to make money in,
so if you are hoping to one day live off your channel’s proceeds it would
probably help if you created your channel on a topic that interests people.
Probably the most successful niche is gaming. Let’s face it, gaming is a huge
industry in itself, and many gamers have reasonable levels of discretionary
income to spend. Other successful niches include:
·
Gaming
·
Funny Videos and
Random Videos
·
Music Videos
·
Autonomous Sensory
Meridian Response (ASMR)

Moderately Successful Channels
With enough
perseverance, not to mention on-camera talent, you should eventually pull
yourself out of YouTube’s graveyard of poor performers. You should by this
point be receiving some AdSense revenue every month, with affiliate marketing
income too if you have chosen to go down that track.
However, at this
stage, you are still mainly producing videos for love, with some other source
of income paying your daily survival bills. By now you could be considered a
minor influencer in your particular niche.
Once you have something like 20,000 subscribers, you might think
about asking for crowdfunding assistance through a site like Patreon. The
average Patreon contributor donates $6, with Patreon
keeping varies from 5% to 12% depending on the plan you pick.
There is an additional payment processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 for donations
over $3. 5% + $0.10 for donations of $3 or less.. It must be remembered,
however, that if you are uploading videos on a regular basis, you are likely to
receive recurring payments from your Patreon supporters. One example is The Comedy Button who currently has 1350 patrons paying them $4K - $9K per
month. This is a YouTube channel that has around 21,600 subscribers.
Once these channels
begin to recognize success, they should be looking to do more with their
AdWords, for instance deliberately chasing phrases with a relatively high cost
per click (CPC). If they are a review channel, for instance, you could focus on
reviewing products that attract ads with a higher CPC.
By now they could be
famous enough for smaller brands to be asking the channel to endorse their
products. Yet, these channels are still small, by YouTube’s standards, so
income earned from sponsorship and product placement will still not be enough
for the channel holders to live off.
Indeed, as Gaby Dunn writes about on Fusion, the middle years of
a YouTube channel’s life are often the most difficult. The channel owners often
need to work full time creating video content, but people only see them as
mildly influential, and the channels certainly aren’t generating a full-time
income. Dunn operates a channel with a friend, Just Between Us. You would think that would be enough
to ensure financial survival. Yet, Dunn says that “despite this success, we’re
just barely scraping by…but it’s not enough to live, and its influx is
unpredictable. Our channel exists in that YouTube no-man’s-land: Brands think
we’re too small to sponsor, but fans think we’re too big for donations. ”
Of course, it depends
on who your audience is. One issue faced by quite a few YouTubers is that their
supporters are naturally anti-establishment, anti-capitalist, and anti the idea
that their YouTube heroes might be selling themselves out. Other types of
channels, such as the review channels, the gaming channels, and of course
anything business-related have it easier. Their fans expect these channels to
make money, so don’t resist helping them out.

Once a YouTube
channel’s subscriber-count reaches the millions, life becomes easier for the
owners. These channels are beginning to find fame and begin to become
recognized as being influential in their niche.
1,000,000 subscribers sounds quite a few, but these channels are
still not in elite company. There are now approximately 25,000 to 30,000 channels in
the 1,000,000 + club. Some of these are official channels for offline
superstars, particularly official music channels for the likes of Justin Bieber
and Rihanna, but quite a few are simply everyday people who have built
themselves a YouTube following.
Once you have a
following of this size, you have the traffic to earn good money.
Google pays out 68% of their AdSense revenue, so for every $100 an
advertiser pays, Google pays $68 to the publisher. The actual rates an
advertiser pays varies, usually between $0.10 to $0.30 per view, but averages
out at $0.018 per view. Around 15% of viewers on average watch the requisite 30
seconds of a video ad to count for payment. This means that for 1,000 views,
150 people are likely to watch an ad. At $0.018 per view, Google will charge
the advertiser $27, keeping 32% ($9) themselves. The YouTube channel will
receive $18 per 1,000 views.
Obviously, it is
important for a channel to keep coming up with new videos, at least one to two
videos per week. If a channel were able to get its entire fanbase of 1,000,000
to watch two new videos per week it would receive each week: $18 x 1,000 x 2 =
$36,000 per week from AdSense alone.
Clearly, by this level a channel is also likely to have
sponsorship opportunities, endorsements, and product placements. Many of these
YouTube stars will also be well enough known that they can merchandise products
to their fanbase, Any review-type channels of this size will often make good
money with affiliate marketing, even if they are only tied in with Amazon, and
their comparatively low 1 - 20% advertising payment rates to affiliates.

Then there are the
true stars of YouTube, some of whom receive a stellar income from their
activities on the social network.
It is impossible to source exact incomes on YouTube - there are
too many variables and undisclosed figures. However, there are plenty of
websites that provide a “best guess” of the incomes earned by the leading
YouTube channels. Forbes published
a list of the highest-paid YouTubers in 2022. It was perhaps inevitable for
someone with a name like MrBeast to achieve the level of success he has now
attained. Currently, MrBeast holds the top spot in terms of earnings, while
Jake Paul ranks second despite previous controversies.
Forbes Top 10 Earning YouTube Stars of 2022 were:
·
MrBeast – $54 million
·
Jake Paul – $45
million
·
Markiplier – $38
million
·
Rhett & Link – $30
million
·
Unspeakable – $28.5
million
·
Like Nastya – $28
million
·
Ryan Kaji (Ryan’s
World) – $27 million
·
Dude Perfect – $20
million
·
Logan Paul – $18
million
·
Preston – $16 million
With a net worth of $106
million, MrBeast is a prominent American YouTuber, internet personality, and
entrepreneur. He has achieved immense success in a relatively short period of
time and is widely recognized as a notable figure. Also known as Jimmy
Donaldson, MrBeast is not only an internet personality and businessman but also
a philanthropist. He is an example of
how you can build your income both directly from YouTube, and also the flow-ons
as a result of your success there, over a series of years. His Net Worth has grown since he started his channel,
as follows:
|
2018 |
$35 Million |
|
2019 |
$44 Million |
|
2020 |
$55 Million |
|
2021 |
$65 Million |
|
2022 |
$82 Million |
|
2023 |
$106 Million |
As a YouTube and
internet sensation, MrBeast has made a significant impact. The man behind the
channel, Jimmy, is known by the same name and has been active on YouTube since
2012. In his early days, his content mainly consisted of gaming videos and
discussions about the fortunes of other YouTubers, which were not very popular.
Nonetheless, in 2017,
MrBeast gained widespread recognition, and his popularity only continued to
grow from thereon. MrBeast is an incredibly successful and popular American
YouTuber, known for his mastery of various genres, including expensive stunts,
gaming, and entertainment. Initially starting his channel under the name
MrBeast, Jimmy Donaldson quickly became known as MrBeast himself.
With millions of
followers worldwide, MrBeast has become an icon in the world of YouTube. He
holds the title of the most subscribed person on YouTube from America and is
ranked as the second most subscribed in the world. Moreover, his philanthropy
and other charitable works have helped to maintain a positive public image for
him. His figures should be aspirational targets for anybody starting a YouTube
channel.
