HUMOR
This Is How Much YouTube Paid Me For 20 Million Views
The answer might surprise you…
I have a confession.
Making a full-time income from YouTube is difficult. Or at least, it was tough for me. Despite being friends with YouTubers that have millions of subscribers, I found it hard to grow my channel.
But one day, I uploaded a video that received over 20 million views. It was a life-changing moment. Every time I refreshed the page, the view count increased by several thousand. I was in shock.
After a while, I checked my YouTube creator dashboard and realized there was a massive problem: I forgot to monetize the video.
Here’s what happened next:
I Spoke To A Friend Who Works At YouTube And Asked For Help
I love having buddies who work at social media platforms. They’ll happily boost my channel’s ranking in the algorithm and do lots of other things that increase my visibility on YouTube.
Anyway, I asked my friend to retrospectively add earnings to a video that wasn’t even monetized at the time it received millions of views. But despite being sympathetic to my cause, he said there was nothing he could do — without losing his job.
