YouTube has been a great stream of income for me.

To be honest, I wasn't aware of how much YouTube was paying me for views until recently. I don't like to get caught up in the analytics of my channel because it takes away from my purpose, which is making an impact on people's lives.

If I get too wrapped up in making money for my YouTube videos, it shifts my intention. I end up feeling disconnected from my passion. Nonetheless, I am grateful for the money I've made on YouTube.

I first started on YouTube before YouTube even had an advertising feature on its platform. Over the years I've been witness to how YouTube has grown. Advertisers spend a lot of money to advertise on channels like mine and others.

On average, a YouTube channel can receive $18 per 1,000 ad views. This equates to $3 – $5 per 1,000 video views. A lot of YouTubers have taken advantage of this opportunity and turned it into a viable business.

Some YouTubers make millions of dollars per year just from the ad revenue of their videos. Jimmy Donaldson, the digital celebrity known as Mr. Beast, and other highest-paid YouTubers secured an estimated $211 million in total earnings from June 1, 2019, to June 1, 2020.

I thought it would be interesting for me to share some of the revenue that I've made from my videos. Also, for those of you who want to become YouTubers, I want to give you some tips on how to build a money-making YouTube channel.

Watch the video above where I share my computer screen and show you the top two videos that have made me the most money on YouTube!

Overall, I've made over $1 million in ad revenue from my entire YouTube channel. However, YouTube is not my primary source of revenue. I have many other business models that I'm involved in, but YouTube makes me a lot of money.

People who enjoy my content on YouTube tend to check out the other offerings that I have. Here are my top 2 highest revenue-producing videos on YouTube.

Highest Revenue-Producing Video #1 – She Makes $40,000 Per Month on Amazon at 23 Years Old

In this video, I interviewed my now wife, Tatiana, about her success on Amazon. After filming the video we thought that it may get 10-20,000 views. We've been blown away to see that it now has almost 6 million views!

This video has encouraged so many people to build an Amazon business. Even better, a lot of people have made a lot of money from this one video. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing that your content has changed people's lives.

The estimated revenue that I've made from this video has been $87,000 US dollars. This video didn't even have mid-roll ads, meaning that it probably could've made a lot more money. Keep in mind that if you're a beginner YouTuber, it's difficult to achieve this kind of money.

You can't predict which of your videos is going to go viral. Thus, a video like this is difficult to replicate. If you have a video that has over 6 million views, how much you make from it may be based on the topic and the niche of that video.

With a video like this one, more advertisers may be interested in the topic of selling on Amazon. Thus, they are willing to spend more money to advertise in front of it. The target market of these advertisers may be business owners or people who sell on Amazon.

I also publish a lot of self-development videos. I'm not publishing these videos to make money from. Rather, it's because I want to share impactful content that has the power to change people's lives. As a YouTuber, I share things that are relevant to my life and the lives of others. If I can make money at the same time, that's a bonus.

Highest Revenue-Producing Video #2 – How To Sell On Amazon For Beginners

In this video, I walk people through a step-by-step tutorial on how to build a profitable online business using Amazon FBA for beginners. I am a firm believer that Amazon FBA is one of the most life-changing opportunities available today.

This video has 2.1 million views and the estimated revenue that I've made from it has been $81,000 US dollars. Interestingly enough, this video performed better per view than the first video, since it has half of the number of views and only made $6,000 less.

But there's a danger in obsessing about the number of views you get on YouTube.

This proves that there are more opportunities for advertisers to advertise in front of videos like this one. I have a few other videos in the 5-figure to 1 million view range which is awesome. Keep in mind that certain topics will make you more money on YouTube than others.

Some of these video topics include business, marketing, selling on Amazon, investing, and/or real estate. Typically, a lot of advertisers will advertise in front of any videos that are in the financial sector.

However, if you are a YouTuber, make sure that you're not making videos solely for the money. I understand that making money is great. I could have made way more money if I had made that my intention, but it's not.

Ultimately, you want to create content on YouTube because it's something that can make an impact on someone else's life. It's something that is your passion. At times, I've gotten off track and chased opportunities for purpose of making money.

There's nothing wrong with doing this now and then. However, if you get too obsessed with making money from videos, you fall into a danger zone. This is the trend on YouTube – getting people's attention by resorting to anything that will get their attention.

Unfortunately, taking this path can compromise your values. Balance is key. Yes, see what's doing well so that you can further support people.

However, make sure you stay true to yourself. More importantly, always put other people's needs above your own. If you can do that, I trust you will be successful in your YouTube endeavors.

This is how much YouTube paid me for 1,000,000+ views on my videos.

Building a YouTube channel is hard work. However, the payoff is well worth it once you realize how many lives you've impacted through your content.

When I first started my channel, I would have never imagined that 1,000,000 people would be following me, but here I am.

Anything is possible if you stay consistent and add massive value over the long term. May your endeavors on YouTube be successful. You've got this!
