Let me start by saying I started this Youtube channel as a joke. I saw many other creators in a specific niche getting hundreds and millions of views so I decided to start my channel to see how much I can make myself.

The beginning was rough. I was lacking any motivation to upload the videos I was making. They were boring and I grew tired of them quickly. However, despite being on the brink of giving up the whole channel. I managed to continue uploading.

Every video took about 5–6 hours and I put no commentary over any of them. Only text with a couple of funny clips. I would sit there on my crappy laptop for 5–6 hours a day typing and dragging away.

It was very exhausting.

I will have to say that the comments on every video are what kept me going. To see viewers genuinely enjoying my content gave me the push I needed to upload weekly.

Revenue and Stats

After about a couple of months, I struck gold:

The first month of the video earned me a payout of $4,200. This is because they only pay for each month's views.
