Video mentioned: How much YouTube paid me in 2021
So, let’s start with 2021. Our dear YouTuber made $250,000. Now that’s a quarter of a million dollars for videos! I mean, I can’t even get my grandma to pay me for taking out her trash. Talk about an imbalance in the universe!
Jokes aside, it’s crazy to think that there was a time when this guy was making a whopping three pounds a year. That’s not even enough to get a decent cup of coffee!
Now, moving on to 2015 and 2016, our dear friend was earning… drumroll please… ZERO! Now, I don’t know about you, but I’d take a year of that sweet, sweet three-pound income over zero any day! The good news is, for the cost of zero pounds, you could probably get a lifetime supply of, well, nothing!
Then there was the enlightening realization of 2016. This man was pulling in an astounding $1,400 over six months. Now that’s what I call persistence! Or madness… potato, potahto, you know? I mean, you can’t even buy a decent camera with that, and this guy was cranking out two to four videos a week. Now, that’s some dedication! Or insanity… tomato, tomahto?
And now, our YouTuber friend is up here making seven grand a video. You’d think he’d made a deal with a genie. Or maybe he’s secretly printing his own money. Remember kids, counterfeiting is illegal, don’t try this at home!
Now, here’s something funny. Despite the videos getting fewer views in 2021, the revenue per view was almost double. That’s like getting paid double for doing less work. Hey boss, can we adopt this YouTube model in our office too? Just a thought!
He also shared a golden nugget. Apparently, if you have a non-skippable 30-second ad, you could potentially double your ad revenue. But he decided against it, considering it a “horrible thing to do”. And here I was thinking YouTube was the one torturing us with those ads. Turns out, it’s the YouTubers’ choice! I guess it’s like choosing between being rich or being liked. Choices, choices
There’s also the fact that some months are like the Bermuda triangle for ad revenue. It’s here one moment, and whoosh, it’s gone the next. It’s almost like ad revenue has its own hibernation season.
Lastly, one video earned this guy more money than an entire year of teaching. Makes me wonder why we aren’t all dropping our jobs to become YouTubers. Oh, right, those years of zero income, three-pound income, and being thrown out of grocery stores for vlogging. I guess it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, or should I say, not everyone’s roll of the dice?

To wrap this up, I gotta say, the path to YouTube stardom seems more twisted than a pretzel. But our YouTuber friend here has shown that if you’re as stubborn as a mule and work as hard as an ant, you just might hit that YouTube jackpot. Or you could end up like me, making jokes about it instead. Either way, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and keep those laughs coming!
