| 00:00:21 | 00:00:25 | got up at 4am and made it to the airport |
| 00:00:23 | 00:00:27 | with my friend ethan who happens to be |
| 00:00:25 | 00:00:29 | the first youtuber i ask i usually do |

| 00:00:38 | 00:00:42 | becoming a youtuber has been a dream of |
| 00:00:40 | 00:00:43 | mine ever since i was 12 years old for |
| 00:00:42 | 00:00:46 | years and years i made cringy videos |
| 00:00:43 | 00:00:48 | getting 30 to 40 views each and it was |
| 00:00:46 | 00:00:50 | until multiple channels and years down |
| 00:00:48 | 00:00:52 | the line where i started to see success |
| 00:00:50 | 00:00:54 | i made a video titled i sold candy at |
| 00:00:52 | 00:00:56 | school for one week and it absolutely |
| 00:00:54 | 00:00:58 | blew up gaining over 1 million views and |
| 00:00:56 | 00:00:59 | from that point on i was making a few |
| 00:00:58 | 00:01:01 | thousand dollars every month from |
| 00:00:59 | 00:01:04 | youtube and now flash forward to the |

| 00:01:48 | 00:01:53 | than i want to disclose to the irs what |
| 00:01:50 | 00:01:54 | do you do for a living ex equity analyst |
| 00:01:53 | 00:01:56 | spent a lot of time learning |
| 00:01:54 | 00:01:58 | professional investing and giving that |
| 00:01:56 | 00:02:00 | advice and now i'm a youtuber i think |
| 00:01:58 | 00:02:02 | the first month i made all of about |
| 00:02:00 | 00:02:04 | thirty dollars last month i made about |
| 00:02:02 | 00:02:06 | thirty five thousand dollars i quickly |
| 00:02:04 | 00:02:08 | learned at fincon that these people make |
| 00:02:06 | 00:02:10 | a lot of money but it doesn't always |
| 00:02:08 | 00:02:13 | come from where you think it would about |
| 00:02:10 | 00:02:14 | 90 is sponsorships affiliates so |
| 00:02:13 | 00:02:17 | everything like youtube tiktok all |
| 00:02:14 | 00:02:19 | that it was like 10k probably 80 of it |
| 00:02:17 | 00:02:21 | from brand deals as a short form content |
| 00:02:19 | 00:02:23 | creator you typically aren't gonna make |
| 00:02:21 | 00:02:25 | anything significant from google adsense |
| 00:02:23 | 00:02:27 | but if you can find creative ways to |
| 00:02:25 | 00:02:29 | monetize your audience it can be very |
| 00:02:27 | 00:02:30 | lucrative i've been doing content for |
| 00:02:29 | 00:02:32 | about five six years since people have |
| 00:02:30 | 00:02:34 | known me about two years how much money |
| 00:02:32 | 00:02:35 | do you make from doing that about 250 |
| 00:02:34 | 00:02:37 | 000 a year and can you break that down |
| 00:02:35 | 00:02:39 | for me is that adsense sponsorships or |
| 00:02:37 | 00:02:41 | like selling products what are you doing |
| 00:02:39 | 00:02:43 | mostly people finding me through social |
| 00:02:41 | 00:02:44 | media and signing up for a service or |
| 00:02:43 | 00:02:46 | buying a product on the other hand i |
| 00:02:44 | 00:02:49 | have a friend who runs a youtube shorts |
| 00:02:46 | 00:02:50 | channel with over 600 000 subscribers |
| 00:02:49 | 00:02:53 | and despite getting millions of views |
| 00:02:50 | 00:02:56 | his ad revenue is non-existent in the |
| 00:02:53 | 00:02:59 | last month from adsense i've made 46 |
| 00:02:56 | 00:03:01 | dollars no way 41 million views but also |
| 00:02:59 | 00:03:03 | i have all my videos ads turned off why |
| 00:03:01 | 00:03:06 | is that um because a lot of my videos |
| 00:03:03 | 00:03:08 | get demonetized just because uh susan i |
| 00:03:06 | 00:03:10 | made one dollar yesterday what about |
| 00:03:08 | 00:03:12 | that big peak right there i posted a |
| 00:03:10 | 00:03:14 | long form video that day and i made six |
| 00:03:12 | 00:03:16 | dollars bro that's crazy and you're |
| 00:03:14 | 00:03:18 | getting crazy views but just no adsense |
| 00:03:16 | 00:03:20 | revenue have you found any other ways to |
| 00:03:18 | 00:03:23 | make money i just made my own e-commerce |
| 00:03:20 | 00:03:26 | shop and i sell a product and i was able |
| 00:03:23 | 00:03:28 | to do 70 000 in gross year to date so |
| 00:03:26 | 00:03:30 | the year is not over but it's projected |
| 00:03:28 | 00:03:32 | around 100 120 000. i get to keep about |
| 00:03:30 | 00:03:34 | half but i also do have sponsorships so |
| 00:03:32 | 00:03:36 | i would say my yearly income is more |
| 00:03:34 | 00:03:38 | around like 80. the truth is if you're |
| 00:03:36 | 00:03:40 | not family friendly or you don't make |
| 00:03:38 | 00:03:42 | long form content social media platforms |
| 00:03:40 | 00:03:43 | can decide to essentially pay you |
| 00:03:42 | 00:03:45 | nothing but what if you do follow the |
| 00:03:43 | 00:03:47 | rules how many subscribers do you need |
| 00:03:45 | 00:03:50 | to make youtube a full-time job last |
| 00:03:47 | 00:03:52 | month i made 10 500 in cash how much of |
| 00:03:50 | 00:03:55 | that is from adsense can you pull that |
| 00:03:52 | 00:03:57 | up for me so it was about 5 100 in |
| 00:03:55 | 00:03:59 | adsense and then the rest came from |
| 00:03:57 | 00:04:01 | affiliate marketing for the most part |
| 00:03:59 | 00:04:03 | and a little bit from sponsorships at 30 |
| 00:04:01 | 00:04:05 | 000 subscribers my friend jake is making |
| 00:04:03 | 00:04:07 | a full-time living from youtube and as |
| 00:04:05 | 00:04:09 | this video progresses i'm going to tok |
| 00:04:07 | 00:04:11 | to larger and larger youtubers until we |
| 00:04:09 | 00:04:13 | tok to someone with over 1 million |
| 00:04:11 | 00:04:15 | subscribers so i can't even imagine the |
| 00:04:13 | 00:04:17 | numbers we're about to see what's like a |
| 00:04:15 | 00:04:19 | sponsor you've worked with a sponsor |
| 00:04:17 | 00:04:21 | that i work with regularly is epidemic |
| 00:04:19 | 00:04:23 | sound they're a music and sound effect |
| 00:04:21 | 00:04:26 | platform for creators all over the world |
| 00:04:23 | 00:04:27 | me and jake both use epidemic and funny |
| 00:04:26 | 00:04:29 | enough they're actually sponsoring |
| 00:04:27 | 00:04:33 | today's video epidemic sound has a huge |
| 00:04:29 | 00:04:34 | library of over 35 000 songs 90 000 |

| 00:04:34 | 00:04:38 | constantly being added every week i |
| 00:04:36 | 00:04:40 | personally chose the personal plan which |
| 00:04:38 | 00:04:42 | gives me access to sound effects like |
| 00:04:40 | 00:04:45 | this guy getting hit by a car |
| 00:04:42 | 00:04:47 | well maybe that's too dark or this puppy |

| 00:04:47 | 00:04:50 | they are my go-to source for songs like |
| 00:04:48 | 00:04:51 | you heard in this video and the best |
| 00:04:50 | 00:04:53 | part about it is you can't get |
| 00:04:51 | 00:04:55 | demonetized for using their music you |
| 00:04:53 | 00:04:58 | can still earn income on all your videos |

| 00:05:33 | 00:05:35 | gonna tok about money but you just |
| 00:05:34 | 00:05:37 | jumped right into it let's start with |
| 00:05:35 | 00:05:39 | like what are some youtube videos that |
| 00:05:37 | 00:05:41 | have like made a lot of money for you i |
| 00:05:39 | 00:05:43 | think my highest earning youtube video |
| 00:05:41 | 00:05:47 | is my training like cristiano for a week |
| 00:05:43 | 00:05:49 | and that pulled in 5.4 million views it |

| 00:05:49 | 00:05:53 | 308 dollars bro that's someone's year's |
| 00:05:52 | 00:05:55 | salary off of one youtube video and how |
| 00:05:53 | 00:05:57 | long did it take you to make it just |
| 00:05:55 | 00:05:58 | like a week and then maybe an extra few |
| 00:05:57 | 00:06:01 | days for editing personally my highest |
| 00:05:58 | 00:06:04 | earning video made 28 |
| 00:06:01 | 00:06:06 | 162 and i put it together in three days |
| 00:06:04 | 00:06:08 | the thing about youtube is the money you |
| 00:06:06 | 00:06:10 | make has nothing to do with time but in |
| 00:06:08 | 00:06:12 | the value you provide to the audience |
| 00:06:10 | 00:06:14 | last year i had one video i did it right |
| 00:06:12 | 00:06:16 | along with a 19 year old detailer it's |
| 00:06:14 | 00:06:20 | one of my most popular videos with three |
| 00:06:16 | 00:06:22 | million views and it made 17 000 off it |
| 00:06:20 | 00:06:24 | but just like youtube can be amazing |
| 00:06:22 | 00:06:26 | when videos are doing well it can pay |
| 00:06:24 | 00:06:28 | very bad when videos aren't i learned |
| 00:06:26 | 00:06:30 | this lesson the hard way everybody when |
| 00:06:28 | 00:06:32 | they first start youtube they start |
| 00:06:30 | 00:06:35 | seeing that youtube money you think it's |
| 00:06:32 | 00:06:38 | gonna just go pow like this he doesn't |
| 00:06:35 | 00:06:40 | do that man and just like any job |
| 00:06:38 | 00:06:42 | there's a slow season and the busy |
| 00:06:40 | 00:06:44 | season for youtube why do you think |
| 00:06:42 | 00:06:46 | vlogmas exists december is literally the |
| 00:06:44 | 00:06:48 | best month to upload a youtube video |
| 00:06:46 | 00:06:49 | with ad rates through the roof sponsors |
| 00:06:48 | 00:06:51 | come knocking at the door like it's |
| 00:06:49 | 00:06:53 | nothing and it seems like the money |
| 00:06:51 | 00:06:55 | train is never gonna end |
| 00:06:53 | 00:06:57 | until january hits you ever realize how |
| 00:06:55 | 00:06:59 | youtubers always seem to take breaks in |
| 00:06:57 | 00:07:01 | january because the pay that month is |
| 00:06:59 | 00:07:03 | trash at least in comparison still love |
| 00:07:01 | 00:07:05 | you susan but because i'm curious i want |
