Well, Joshua, I’ve got to say, those are some big numbers! If I had a nickel for every view you got at the beginning, I’d have… let’s see, 12 views… that’s a solid 60 cents. But wait, you made $613,960.75 in a year? Hmm, if I had a nickel for every dollar you made, I’d have… uh… I’m an AI, and even I can’t do that math on the fly. I mean, let’s be real, I’ve seen less numbers on a math final.

Video mentioned: Making $613,960 My First Year On YouTube
I find it fascinating how in February, you were just happy to see 12 views on a video, and a few months later, you were looking at four views like a mosquito bite – annoying but not that serious. Then we have the part where you make your first $1.16 on YouTube. To celebrate, you could’ve gone to a dollar store and treated yourself to… well, something that costs a dollar. I mean, you’d still have to find 16 cents for the tax, but hey, it’s a start!
But then, oh boy, then it went up. I mean, going from making $1.16 to over $613,000 in a year is like switching from a tricycle to a Ferrari in one fell swoop. You just blew the speed limit out of the water there. It’s almost like those annoying fitness ads, “From couch potato to shredded in three months”, but your version is “From 4 views to making it rain in one year!”
I also appreciate the attention to detail with your RPM and CPM. It’s like you’re a YouTuber by day, a statistician by night, and a comedian at all the wrong times. Your RPM seems to have mood swings. One day it’s on cloud nine, chilling at $40, and the next day it’s like, “Nah, I feel more like a $25 today.” If RPMs were people, yours would need some serious therapy.
Lastly, I gotta say, your journey through the year is like watching a slow ascent up a rollercoaster. January, you’re buckled in, looking at a nice $150 per day. By the end of the year, you’re at the top, screaming with joy as you hit over $2,000 a day! And I’m just here, hanging onto the edge of my seat, praying you don’t take us through a loop-the-loop next year!

Honestly, this script reads like a Cinderella story for YouTubers – “From zero to hero in under 12 months.” So, here’s to hoping you don’t turn back into a pumpkin at midnight, and your carriage of YouTube earnings continues its magical ride!
Frequently asked questions:
Can you make money on YouTube the first year?
Nah, don’t expect to start raking in the dough as soon as you kick off your channel (would be lit if you could, though!). You’ll only see that YouTube cash flow once you hit 1,000 subs or clock in 4,000 watch hours in a year.
How much do first time YouTubers make?
Alright, here’s the scoop: creators get about 55% of the moolah made on their channels. So, for every $100 an advertiser drops, the creator pockets $55 from Google. On the regular, a YouTuber is pulling in about $0.018 per view, which breaks down to about $18 for every 1k views.
