Video mentioned: How I Started The Highest Paid Youtube Channel
The dude starts off at the ripe age of 12 – yeah, 12, when most of us were still playing with slime and Pokémon cards – dropping mad science and yo-yo edits like he’s the lovechild of Bill Nye and… some yo-yo master I can’t name ’cause who really follows yo-yo masters, right?
His first channel belly-flopped harder than a sumo wrestler on a diving board, but two years later, our guy brushes off the dust and fires up this channel we’re chilling on right now. And instead of sticking to his Einstein-meets-Duncan routine, he starts dropping skateboarding vids faster than Tony Hawk can kickflip.
He runs that shtick for a few years, rakes in a modest 2k subs – not too shabby – then swerves off into business talk. Now, our man is so into econ that he probably dreams in bar graphs. And that’s when things get cray cray!
Fast-forward to the grand YouTube reveal: the AdSense loot. In 2018, the homeboy was making about enough each day to cover his caffeine fix – we’re talking a quarter a day at best. But then, BOOM! His finance vids take off like a bat outta hell and he’s pulling in up to three bucks a day by the end of the year. Hey, don’t scoff – that’s a 12-fold increase!
His top video in 2018? A bike rebuild that netted him a sweet 91 bucks. Yes, folks, the road to YouTube fame is paved with nickels and dimes.
So, now we’re in 2019, and our guy has gone from spare change to straight up ballin’, pulling in 103k by year’s end. He’s rolling in dough like a baker on speed, smashing his goal to make 2k a month and instead raking in up to 2k a day. We’re talking the kinda money that makes his daily coffee look like chump change!
By 2020, he’s making so much bread he could open a bakery. Half a mil in one year. Mind. Blown.
But let’s break it down – his most popular vid, about forex trading, clocked in at 2.5 mil views, which sounds super impressive until you realize he only made about 27 bucks per 1k views. That’s less than what most pizza delivery guys make in an hour. But then you multiply that by 2,500 and he’s laughing all the way to the bank with a whopping 70k.
But hold up, there’s a plot twist. Despite all the clout, it turns out that videos about drop shipping and forex trading have the highest CPMS – in other words, they make the most moolah per view. Who knew watching videos about making money could make you… well, money?
