- How much can you expect to make on your first CZcams paycheck after qualifying for the CZcams Partner Program? This video shares how much youtube paid me in my first month--or my first 30 days being monetized--complete with my analytics.
I also share my monetization journey and those of other creators I look up to--complete coincidence that they are all Canadian CZcamsrs.
🥳 🎉 MASSIVE THANK YOU TO:
@JennJackson
@MikaylaGreenwood
@DownieLive
@itsdanielleryan
@KofiYeboah
@KeltieOConnor
For context, this is how much I made as a small channel that predominantly does talking head educational videos targeted towards aspiring content creators. The niche really came into play for determining my first CZcams Payment
Hope this gives you insight into how people make money on CZcamsr and the huge range in what youtubers can make.

MAJOR thanks to my creator community for helping out with this video-literally hadn’t even intended to make it completely Canadian-focused-that's just how the cookie crumbled, and I think it's pretty cool. 🇨🇦
Transparency often feels hard to come by in this space, and I'm beyond grateful for their openness and help. All of their content is SO unique and SO good--definitely pay them a visit.
Awesome video. I am small CZcamsr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Fame- ster, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).
Also there was SO MUCH great material from the other creators--I wish I could have included it all but this would have been an hour long. 😂 It DOES make me want to commit to my goal of making a video podcast though to have more of these conversations... what do we think? 👀
Yessssss do it!!!
I’ve been wanting to for months as an extension of this channel 👀 have the podcast name and everything.
sounds great to me🙏
@@AlexAntonn okay noted 👀
GO FOR IT DEAR .I ENJOYED THIS VIDEO ❤👍
Kudos to you for sticking with it. Your genuine energy shines through the noise. That takes time. 👏
Thank you!! I really appreciate it!
If you're a small channel, I promise you, you will get there.
I needed to hear this, thank you ❤
That's honestly amazing achievement, and thanks for providing your insight. Getting that first paycheck from CZcams is one of my favorite memories. I still remember it, there was lots of emotions involved. If it wasn't for my consistency and hard work (and a little bit of Famester of course), I probably wouldn't have made anything.
Thank you so much!! And I love that--it really does feel like SUCH a build up to that paycheck no matter how long or short of time it takes to get there!!
This was so great! Our roads to monetization feel so similar. So often we’re feeling so discouraged by the lack of views but it just takes that one for people to start seeing what you have to offer. Congrats on getting monetized and keep up the great content!!!❤
Thank you so much!! And yesss it’s so cliche but so many people quit RIGHT BEFORE what could be the video that push them towards monetization 🙏🏽 thank you for watching and being here!’
Needed to see this 🙏🙏💯
Yessss love the structure of this video. SO GOOOD! Thank you for sharing your metrics as a reference point. I don’t see many include their RPM!
I am so glad, thank you!!! And my pleasure--I feel like it's such an important piece of the pie and varies so much from person to person, should have asked the others. 👀😂
I love this video ! I love the editing , the style , and the content ! Thank you so much for sharing this journey and the others!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it and glad you enjoyed it!!
This is a GREAT video! Well done! I will be following your growth and pray that you are blessed with the growth your looking for!
Thank you SO much. 💜 appreciate that beyond words!
The fact that you know all these CZcams is amazing! & I’m so glad you’re so transparent about everything so a person doesn’t go in blindly!
Really grateful for my community both virtual and irl!! And all I can do to demystify things a lil bit. 😂
I always get so much from your videos! The editing is top notch! I won’t give up! Thank you for your transparency!❤
Thank you so so much!! Makes it feel like the HOURS UPON HOURS were worth it. 😂
I need your patience, girl! Well-done and good luck
i love that you brought in other youtubers!! ❤ so much value
There's only so much I can share from my own experiences! I want to do it more often here hopefully! 💛
Congratulations! Your success is well-deserved, and I'm genuinely happy for you. Thank you for helping us with your videos. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you so much!!! And I’m glad my videos resonate!! More to come!!!
Awesome video! Great featured guests!
Hi Kaya, Thank you so much for this video. You have such a great presence on camera :)
Ah thank you so much--and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!
Loved this sooo much!! Such an interesting topic and so happy to be included 💕
I'm SO grateful for you and so glad you enjoyed it! It was a lot of fun to put together all your experiences!!
this is a very unique take and i really enjoyed you putting all to these different perspectives into one very watchable video. Thanks!
Thank you so much and I’m so glad!! I really wanted to tell more than just my own story 🙏🏽
Loved hearing from all of these CZcamsrs! Even one I was already following! Great video Kaya
Ah I'm so glad!! I really wanted to creators across a variety of niches too in the hopes of increasing the likelihood of having a story resonate with someone 💜
Just got recommended this video. I gotta say your voice and presentation are so relaxing and easy to understand😊
Ah thank you so much--I'm so glad!! And welcome to my corner of the internet. ☺
So proud of you for sticking with it, this video was awesome with so many perspectives :)
Thank you so much, and I'm so glad! It was so cool even for myself to hear other people's journeys--it's such a wild ride!
This is my second. I didn’t even know they existed until the video before yours! Great job keep it up and thank you for the info❤️🙏
OOh welcome to the rabbit hole!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Here as a 1 week new youtuber...and you've really motivated me...thank you❤
I’m so glad!!! Welcome and best of luck on your journey!! It’s tough but SO REWARDING
I started exactly a week ago too and I’m wishing all aspiring creators success!!💖
yasss congrats!!!
this was great...it really helped me take my head out of the clouds and see that you have to actually WORK AT THIS.
I’m glad it resonated!! And I’ve been there-It’s so easy to get caught up in the idea and potential and miss all the time and effort that goes into it
Thanks for sharing this. It was nice to see the community you’ve been building.
I’m so glad! It’s been a long time goal of mine too. Collaborate a bit more with other creators and also highlight other people’s stories, so I’m glad I was able to do so here! 💜
I found you through that Pinterest video and I gotta say, your content is so refreshing! love the transparency :) Thank you for sharing!
Ahh I’m so glad!! And thank you!!
Honestly this is the first time I've watched this kind of CZcams what-did-I-earn video! My own creation journey is so far away from it that it's just not been something on my radar. But I've come across your videos and really love your style and your perspective and the positive, soothing energy that you bring to your advice. Thank you so much for all of this!
I'm so glad this resonated!! Really appreciate you, and happy to be your first into this type of video! 😂
Congratulations on getting accepted into the CZcams payment program 🎉❤ that’s so exciting!! Proud of you friend ❤
Thank you Thank you Kaylyn!!! It's been such a fun ride!
Good video❤ I was hooked from the beginning to end
I'm so glad!! Thank you for watching!!
Congrats🎉 I'm happy for you ❤👸🏽👑
Thank you!! 💜
Thank you for your transparency! For CZcamsr‘s like me at the beginning of their journey, videos like yours are pure gold❤
It’s truly my pleasure!! ✨☺️
This was only my second video about starting a YT channel and was excited to learn about monetization. Great content! I look forward to digging in.
Wow I’m so glad this popped up for you!!CZcams is SUCH a fun and rewarding beast but it’s QUITE a journey-though definitely one I would recommend diving into!
Thanks ❤ great encouragement. I’ve been on here for about a year now and gotten near to nowhere 😅 so it’s nice to see a creator say that it took two years to monetise. It gives me hope 🙏
My absolute pleasure!’ Honestly I know it takes some people even more 😂 but it’s such a rewarding journey, just need to be really aware of your content, who you’re serving, and look at how you can maybe broaden your reach!
Great Video - Love the real experiences
Thank you!! I was so grateful everyone was open to sharing!
Thank you for such an informative video Kaya! Congratulations on getting monetized!!! I found your channel a couple of months ago and it was the Pinterest one that you were talking about. I love that you interviewed other creators to see how much they made when they first got monetized and how long it took for them to get there. I started my channel back in September and the growth was really slow. In December I decided to try out ASMR (I was doing personal development videos before) and my channel has been growing quickly! Thank you again for sharing and wishing you lots of success on CZcams!
My absolute pleasure, and I'm so glad that video brought you over!! It's cool how one video can have a ripple effect!! I'm glad the ASMR has been working for you! It really does often take time for things to click (as you can tell from the different stories)--thank you so so much for watching, for the kind words, and wishing YOU lots of success too!
@@CreatingwithKaya Thank you! Looking forward to your next videos!
thank you!!
I absolutely LOVE the honesty here-thank you!
My ABSOLUTE pleasure--I think it benefits everyone when people are more open in this space!!
Omg I just started my CZcams journey yesterday and this was extremely insightful, thank you
You're so welcome!! Good luck on your journey! It's a rewarding one!
Congrats! Thank you for the great info! I’m trying Sis 🙏
Thank you and my pleasure! You got this!
I enjoyed your journey and the interviews of others. Helpful to understand the YT realistic possibilities
I'm so glad!! Thank you for the comment!
Beautiful and enlightening video, loved the fact you didn't talk just about your journey but bring other creators too, I've thinking about creating a channel and I never did before because I knew as soon as you get in you will have the necessity to keep going, I'll do it, but finally I could cut out the thought of making money from it in the first year hahahaha
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment!! It's funny, I was talking to a friend about how freeing it was to hear that adsense isn't most people's main income source--even those who have been at it for ages, it allows you to just start creating without that pressure or expectation!
@@CreatingwithKaya Eeexactly, love your content girl, keep growing. God bless you.
@@utopiademujer Thank you so so much. 🥹🙏🏽
Awesome video! I just love your vibe! It took me 1 year to get monetized posting once a week and took 2 months off that year bc life lol.... first month I got monetized I got my first pay cheque .. a little over $100 CAN. I also have a super hard niche... homeschooling
Thank you so much and thank you so much for sharing!! It’s been really fascinating hearing everybody’s journeys and a variety of experiences.💜
Really liked the way you did this video.
It’s interesting to hear everyone’s experience
Glad you enjoyed it!! I really wanted to highlight more than just my own journey for this!!
I can tell this is an organic content from your heart! ❤
Thank you!!!
The video quality on this is SO GOOD! This has to blow up!!
Thank youuuu 🥹 fingers crossed 🤞🏽
Yea!!! Which camera do you use?
@@NenyeEzeYT I just started using the Nikon ZF, which had sent to me by Nikon Canada. Before that, the majority of my videos were Canon RP.
Definitely subscribing ❤
Ahh thank you!! Hope you enjoy my corner of the internet!
BAHAHAHAH you really called me out for watching ever single ‘how much did youtube pay me’ video 💀😭
We are in this together. I think every CZcamsr has been there. 🤣
@@CreatingwithKaya they’re honestly so fun and inspiring, it’s addicting 😭
They really are--it's such a rabbit hole 😂
I like your microphone
@@nevonthedaily Oh I'm obsessed with it! I talk about it in this video too: czcams.com/video/JO1KL3ID5Sg/video.html
Here it is on amazon if you're interested: amzn.to/3PHa8gH
I needed this. Thanks for the transparency.
You are so welcome!! 💜
I'm a small CZcamsr in South Africa. Love the perspective you're giving here and sharing your journey 🤗💛
Hello and welcome to my corner of CZcams!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
You definitely do your thing with these videos I definitely appreciate it
That is the highest compliment, thank you!!!
Love that you showed other creators experiences as well!! And them being Canadian 🙌 I’m halfway ish to the 4,000 watch time and so close to 1,000! 🤗
it was such a fun coincidence that they were all Canadian! I put out a call on my stories and most had volunteered from there! Yassss you got this--enjoy the journey!
@@CreatingwithKaya so cool!! Thanks 🤗🤗
What a high quality content🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!! 🙏🏽
@@CreatingwithKaya can i get dm?

Thank you for sharing
My absolute pleasure!!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great insight/ video
I’m so glad!! 🙏🏽
Amazing content Kaya! New sub here.
Wow this is so encouraging as a person who started a CZcams channel last year March and I am still at 86 subscribers. I get encouraged so much by this because I have found out that growing a channel is hard. But giving up is not an option. Congrats you have motivated me
I’m glad I could help motivate!! It really is a journey, but it’s a rewarding one!!
@@CreatingwithKaya noted thank you for the advice
😊 Thank you for sharing your story!
My absolute pleasure!
The way you talk and communicate your experience and talk so softy and smoothly in this video is so valuable and contagious. You got a subscriber from me :) I'm trying to develop my sons kids CZcams channel, I'm only 3months in and hit my watch hours with flying colors...but to get kids to hit subscribe has been the most difficult...most watch from the TV screen too. but I love knowing what to expect next. thanks for this video.
Thank you so much for your kind words--glad this was valuable! Ooh I can definitely imagine getting the subs would be difficult on kids channels--but cool that you got those hours in!!
Ive been making content since the beginning of Covid- CZcams was always something I had,I uploaded my shorts daily- not even thinking about revenue but more of growing my subscribers, I was doing a lot of TikTok and instagram. this year, one of my shorts that I made 3 years ago blew up, it was crazy and I am now 2 million short views away from getting monetized. I am so excited, watching your video has inspired me- I love your transparency! and this is out of subject but you are GORGEOUS OMG.
Ah you are so kind!! Thank you for the kind words--It sounds like you are well on your way--congrats for being so close on the shorts views, it's such a huge feat so you are KILLING IT! Checked out some of your videos--you are HILARIOUS. 😂🙏🏽 Excited for your journey!
I don't understand why you still do not have a silver button behind you??? Absolutely loved the personality, beautiful smile, and positive energy! Content and montage are also really on the top level! Subscribing to the channel, to speed up your next video "My journey to 100k" ❤💕
Ahhh you are absolutely melting my heart you are too kind! 🥹🙏🏽 the journey has been amazing so far-fingers crossed I can hit 10 soon 🤞🏽 but also just being happy with the community I have! 💛
Appreciate this video
I'm so glad 🙏🏽
Thank u Keya....i needed to watch this video n know reality💟
My absolute pleasure!!
I have watched many many videos of “how much did CZcams paid me” 😂😂😂- this, your video, is the best! Relatable and helpful.
You are not alone--it's an inevitable rabbit hole 😂. Ahh thank you SO SO MUCH--that means a lot!!
Thank you for sharing here
My absolute pleasure!!
Great video thanks! 😀👍
Thank you!! Glad you like it!!
Amazing!!!!
💜💜💜
Pinterest for the win! 🙌🏻 Great job!
Pinterest for the win!!! Thank you !! :D
I found you on threads and this video is really good! 😊
Oh hey!! And thank you!! I love hearing when people find me through other means. 😂
Thanks!🌻
Wow thank you so much! Hope my corner of the internet is useful for you 🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing!!! Small CZcamsr here!! Creating simply because I enjoy it! 🥰
Absolute love that-the best place to be!!
Thanks for sharing your info 👍
My absolute pleasure 🙏🏽
Good stuff
Thank you 🙏🏽
The requirement to become monetize is one reason why creators get bumped attempting to reach the goal. I believe that is why CZcams created the 500 sub program. It took me a bit of time to get monetized. I started getting serious about 2022. I was not monetized until 2023. My channel has improved when I started putting more focus on CZcams and less on my IG.
oh I so hear you on this!! Things really shifted for me when I started to take an 'all in' approach on CZcams and dropped a bit of my IG focus.. which isn't the best for me because IG is where my money's at currently. 😂
Thank you for sharing this knowledge and I wish you more success🌹
My absolute pleasure, and thank you so so much!
@@CreatingwithKaya Ok you
Thanks so much ❤ i love your sound quality, would you tell me what mic you are using please? My sound is awful with background washing macines and dogs and kids music etc. 🤣
Haha I hear you!!! 😂 I just bought this one: amzn.to/3TyfEmZ
I talk about it and show some tests in this video too: czcams.com/video/JO1KL3ID5Sg/video.html
Ha! You are right, I have watched so many of these types of videos but this, THIS video by far, is the best one I have seen. Very well done!! I am a new channel (actually making an effort at making a channel), I have the watch hours already but just over 500 subscribers. It is always nice to hear other peoples journey. Thanks!
I am SO SO honoured by that, glad you enjoyed it!! Also major congrats on landing the watch hours--for most, that's the hardest part so you are well on your way! Excited for your journey!
W video kaya
Thank you!!
Thanks for this info..really motivates me🙏🙏 new youtuber
I'm so glad!! All the best on your journey!!
I'm so glad!! Best of luck on your journey!
You did great for your first month! But also agree, that living solely off of AdSense is not most folks reality. Thanks for sharing and being so transparent Kaya!
Thank youuu and my pleasure 💜🙏🏽 yess I think there’s a lot of assumptions about Adsense that sets people up for disappointment. It’s just the starting line of the journey not the finish!
Congratulations
Thank you!!!
I'm on the journey to 500 right now then next goal 1K hopefully I don't give up I love editing videos and creating so wish me luck. This was great insight
I'm glad it was insightful! Keep at it, keeping studying what works and keep improving the craft. Honestly despite now being monetized I think it's still an ongoing journey with a LOT of rises and falls.
Amazing video
Thank you!! it took a while to complete, but I'm so glad it's out there now!
New sub.. amazing achievement
Thank you!!
Congratulations! I’m still working on this channel. My other channel is monetized and I made $99 the first month smh. So I wasn’t paid the first month because I didn’t hit the $100 threshold.
Thank you!! And that's so exciting--I have a second channel I've neglected that isn't even close to monetizing, but am considering dusting it off.. or starting yet another one. 😂 and $99?! CZcams is playing, why couldn't they have just pushed an extra dollar your way?
I love Mikayla. She is real OG CZcams. Such a great community.
She is so so lovely!! 💜 So grateful for her!
Thanks for sharing your journey and helping us out, I thumbs up and subscribed, hopefully this helps you out beautiful ❤
Ah I appreciate you!! I’m glad the video resonated!!
Good job
thank you!!
Thank you all for your advice. These things i am well aware of. But it is always so refreshing to see opinions of others. Thank you all for sharing
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!
Kaya! I'm only 10 seconds into this video so I have no idea of the contents yet... but I just want to say how amazing I think your channel and its topics are. I am a full-time influencer myself (having recently gained over 100k followers on instagram).. but it has been a HARD journey to get here. I was making little to no money last year and I wouldn't have been able to survive if my parents weren't so supportive. I'm working on branching out to CZcams doing similar content to yours because as you say, transparency in the influencer space is super hard to come by. All this rambling does have a question attached to it haha... do you ever worry that creating this kind of content (talking mainly about your other videos e.g. 'saying no as an influencer') will 'turn off' brands from wanting to work with you? - I know logically that the answer is no, and of course as long as the content is respectful and informative there is no issue. But I'd just love to hear your take on this if you have one! Thank you!
Oooh thank you for the kind words, and such a great question!! it has worried me, but it’s so funny, a lot of people at the brands I work with follow my content here and bring it up often in a complimentary way. I think it was important though for this to still be a separate brand-like a different account and name from where I do most of my deals as to not mix up and dilute my audience-and I think it’s important that in the transparency I am always respectful and also I try to still acknowledge the brand’s side as I educate, I emphasize that this is a partnership with them, we shouldn’t be trying to exploit them just because we think our worth is one thing-so I think that nuance helps maintain that respect. I mean statistically it has provably turned off SOME brands out there, but then it wasn’t aligned. Also congrats for breaking 100k that is AMAZING! And looking forward to seeing what you do next.
I have another channel and once monetized my first 30 days I made $6,730.25, I got 1.4 million views. This was May 2020. 100% not normal & yes, I could totally live off of that and one of my highest income months (just Adsense) I made close to $10,000 … wild times
That is SO COOL!! and SO CRAZY! Congratulations on that! I'm over here dreaming of numbers like that. 😂
@@CreatingwithKaya you’ll be there in no time! Especially once you add digital products (game changer more reliable too) in the mix. Keep dreaming, it will happen very soon! :)
@@belle-perjuste ahh haha yes to be fair I have hit months like that in brand deals-but would be so cool to see it from Adsense!! I gotta get my butt back on digital products tho 👀🫡
Great video to inspire us new channels!! And a healthy dose of reality!!❤❤😂😂 ps we LOVE @downielive ! So nice to see his face on your channel!
Haha he is great!! so grateful he volunteered to share!! 🙏🏽✨
I hope you do great 👍
Thank you!!
