Video mentioned: How Much a SMALL YouTuber really makes! | Small Creators ANALYTICS REPORT | I am finally MONETIZED!
Welcome to the world of small creators – and by small, I ain’t talkin’ about no five foot nothing, I’m talkin’ bout that sweet sweet moolah. First things first, my YouTube game started back in 2022 and I didn’t start raking in the dough till August. And by dough, I mean a whopping… drum roll please… seventy-two dollars and thirty-seven cents! Yeah, don’t spend it all at once, right? And that’s with a subscriber army of 150! I know, wild, ain’t it?
Now let’s get into the nitty-gritty. My vids ain’t like those Kardashian vlogs that skyrocket faster than Elon Musk’s rockets. Nah, the majority of my moolah came from this one video, the FabFitFun Fall box. Seems like folks are super into unboxing stuff – it’s like Christmas came early, ya feel?
Now, don’t get your hopes up thinking that every day is a $9 payday. Ha! Some days you’d be lucky to get a buck fifty-seven. I know, I know, hard to believe with the fat stacks those big YouTubers are raking in.
Each month, the money river ebbs and flows. My September was a lil’ dry with sixty-nine dollars and forty cents. Yeah, even less than August. Talk about fall leaves falling, right? And October? You’d think with the spookiness and all, it would bring in more dough, but nah, it was a mere sixty-six dollars and ninety-seven cents. I mean, Trick or Treat indeed!
And let’s not even start on November. The holiday season should’ve made it rain, but all I got was a decent ninety bucks. By the time Santa came in December, it was a solid ninety-six dollars and fifty-four cents. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way to the bank, amirite?
So, summing it all up, the grand total for 2022 from August till December was… wait for it… three hundred and ninety-five dollars and seventy-two cents. Yeah, you heard it right. I ain’t no Jeff Bezos, but hey, that’s a decent stack of dough for a little YouTuber like me.
Anyway, this ain’t no sob story. It’s all about giving you peeps a reality check about what small creators can expect. And remember, don’t measure your success by the size of your bank account, but by the amount of joy and passion you put into your work. And who knows, maybe one day we’ll all be raining Benjamins.

Frequently asked questions:
How much money can a small YouTuber make?
For a small YouTuber, they’re pulling in roughly $0.018 for each ad view, as per Influencer Market Hub’s stats. The range can swing between $0.10 to $0.30 for each view of an ad. But real talk, how much YouTube dishes out hinges on a bunch of stuff, like how many peeps are watching your vids.
How much does YouTube pay for $1 million views?
If you’re pulling in a million views, you’re looking at bagging around $5K on average. But the big-time players? They can easily rake in upwards of $10K for that many views. Still, it’s all about your content vibe, who’s watching, the ads you got, and if you’re repping an English-speaking country.
Can you make money on YouTube with little subscribers?
So, to start seeing that green from YouTube directly, you gotta hit at least 1K subs and 4K watch hours over the last year. Alternatively, you could have 1K subs with a cool 10 million valid public Shorts views from the past 3 months. Once you’re there, you can slide into YouTube’s Partner Program and start monetizing your stuff.
