How Much Money Do YouTubers Make? PART 1

Hi everyone, c'est Amphibia. Welcome to my kitchen. Today we're not going to be cooking, but I wanted to touch up on a couple of subjects that, you know, I think are important for everybody to know. And also I get asked a lot as well, you know, how much money do I make on YouTube? What's, you know, like what's happening kind of thing. So I really wanted to do a quick video and just explain everything to you so you guys know where I stand and so it's maybe more clear for everybody else. So number one is the fact that there is a huge misconception that all the YouTubers make so much money. Just because you're on YouTube doesn't mean you get to make thousands of dollars and things like that. As some of you know, I've been doing my channel for about three years and I'm making completely like such a small amount that barely covers the food that I create for you guys. And the money depends as well on the advertising, which country you're based in. it also depends on how long or short your videos are and how long people watch your videos and do they skip the ads do they not it's all kind of decided by youtube so you never really know how much money they make from you but you just get to see the end result and the the small amount that you make so i'm making from 100 to 200 a month which is absolutely nothing um and with my subscriber base you would imagine that i'll be making a lot more and that's what i thought when I started but YouTube for me is not about the money it's more about my passion and you know I love sharing my recipes I love sharing what I do and you know of course it would be nice and to get supported and you know get paid for the content I do and but at the end of the day I just want to make sure that people are not mislead and think that you can make so much money just posting videos online and there are top YouTubers that have millions and millions of subscribers and they probably earn decent income and when I reach that stage until now and I would just say to everyone you know you just need to keep working hard and yeah it's all misconception that you make millions by being on YouTube and at the moment I have four other jobs so I work as a consultant around London and top restaurants and then I also host dinner parties like a supper club where people come over to my house and I kind of feed them I do different menus and this is one of my primary income resources because obviously people come in and I feed them so it's like a restaurant service but it's really really fun and if you're based in London definitely come out and check it out and you're more than welcome to come over and try my food and third job is I do live cooking shows some of you know and follow me on them I enjoy it so much I I do them on Facebook, on Tastemade, I do them also on my own platform, so yeah, make sure come check it out because I'm cooking live, you know, I can be messing up but it's always fun to watch and I love talking to you as well when I'm cooking because that makes me feel really close to you guys as well because I'm engaging. And my fourth job is obviously YouTube and Facebook and all the marketing and as you know, I do everything myself, so from finding the recipe to testing the recipes to buying ingredients to then finally getting to the kitchen filming myself then editing the pictures the videos and doing all the work myself all the marketing and I don't have any help and sometimes it's really really tough and hard and you know nobody pays you for your hobby so you kind of get to get out there and do it yourself but I just wanted to be really honest with everyone and just do and you know understand you know how much I work and how hard it is so if you do want to support me as well for all my hard work then feel free to do that I always appreciate everything and it means a lot to me so yeah that's just a couple of you know facts and statements about how how much money you can make on YouTube so I'm sorry if I disappointed anyone whoever wanted to start a YouTube channel but I think this needs to be said and put out there and I think a lot of the YouTubers in the YouTube community will agree with me that you know it's really really tough and it takes a lot of time and energy and dedication to keep going and creating stuff for you guys and enjoying the fact that you love it, that you comment so that's why it means so much for everyone, for me particularly, when you share the videos, when you comment on them and you give thumbs up. So keep doing that, thank you all for your support and I'll see you in the next video. Bye!
