How Much Can You Earn from Youtube With 15,000 Subscribers?

I think you’ll be surprised.

In March of 2020, I uploaded my very first Youtube video. I’d been recording (and sometimes even editing) videos that never saw the light of day since I was around 10 years old. For some reason, the urgency of the pandemic inspired me to finally give it a shot.

The growth was very slow at first, but it is not lost on me that I got very lucky. My 11th video was about one of the ways I had been making passive income for a few years already, and that video performed very well.

I capitalized on that success for a long time, continuing to make similar content and growing my audience. After awhile I lost the passion for that genre and wanted to start making videos that felt more “me” again. My views definitely dipped, but luckily I had some loyal subscribers willing to stay for my new content as well.

Today, I have over 15,000 subscribers. I think I’ve done very well, especially considering I took a long break from posting videos this year — over seven months.

Before I dive in to my total income, I want you to know to take these numbers with a grain of salt. The near entirety of my income from Youtube comes from around five videos that consistently get thousands of views every month.
