5 cents here I come! But seriously, I'm happy. It is a cool accomplishment I was able to do.

Nice! What are the requirements to be eligible for monetization?

How much did you actually make?

At first or as of right now?
Both, I guess, but right now sounds more interesting (and how long you've been at it).

May 19th will be three years putting out hiking content on a weekly basis. When I first got monetized like TC stated I thought id be making a few pennies but it turned out to be nearly a dollar a day (which doesn't sound like a lot but it was to me!) nowadays I am making nearly quadruple that and its just a snowball effect, it keeps growing and growing.
Hey, that's an extra grand+ a year for doing something you enjoy. And if you're there after 3 years think what it might be in another 5. I'd say it's not bad at all, yeah.

3000-4000 watch hours from the viewers, and about 500-1,000 subscribers. And after that, you'll have to be approved from YT. Also, congrats @billman1000 !

I have a dormant YT channel with a few really successful videos and I got an email a few weeks back saying I was eligible to apply for monetization. I'd have no idea what exactly to make if I wanted to keep the channel going. It feels like all types of content are oversaturated now.
Thanks for reading!
Got my first pay at a whopping $1.10 for 2 days so far. While YT got $15. Lovely.

$5 now. Cue the Jefferson's theme song!

Having an unusual pet seems to be an easy money maker. Some of those videos don't have commentary or anything, just the animal walking around to funny music or whatever.

TC what's your content?
This is where cool people write stuff.

Various stuff from health/fitness, games, cartoons/anime, pro wrestling, mma, and 90's pop culture. I'm not sticking with just one topic, and covering whatever I feel like.

I'm nowhere near the monetization threshold on Youtube, but a TV producer reached out to me about using one of my videos for a TV show and I'm gonna get paid for that. Just not sure when they're actually going to start making the episode.

I was once asked permission to reference one of my videos, and one other time I was asked if would consent to my channel being shouted out/linked to. I wasn't offered any money though. :/

You can turn those off before you upload your vids so you don't have to deal with it. Also, try to make a secondary email just for YT only for any business inquiries or collaborations. But also expect spams/scams from it.

I pretty much get YouTube premium for free from my YouTube channel lol.
I'm a long, long way from giving up
