How much YouTube paid me | Small channel with less than 10k subscribers | Monetisation & Analytics

Welcome back to my channel! Today, I am sharing something quite different from my usual yoga and movement sessions. I'm diving into the analytics and earnings of a small YouTube channel like mine. This could be particularly interesting for those who are thinking about starting a YouTube yoga channel or are just curious about the income possibilities.

Background

I uploaded my first yoga session on my YouTube channel during the first lockdown in March 2020. It's been roughly 2 years, 2 months, and 19 days since then. I've posted a total of 68 movement sessions and one pull-up progression video. Since launching, my channel has grown to 9,250 subscribers, which is astounding to me. Imagine 9,000 people practicing yoga and movement together—it's incredible!

Monetization Process

My YouTube channel was monetized in less than three months after uploading my first yoga session. For a channel to be monetized, it needs:

• 1,000 subscribers
• 4,000 watch hours

After achieving these milestones, you can start earning money from YouTube.

Earnings Breakdown

• First Month's Earnings: £11.19
• Top-Earning Video: £99.00
• Overall Earnings (2 years, 2 months, 19 days): £1,208.00
• Last Six Months' Earnings: £322.00 (Approximately £55 per month)

Viewer Engagement

• Most Thumbs Down: Pull-up progression video (8 thumbs down)
• Most Thumbs Up: 45-minute Strength Flexibility and Balance video (1,620 thumbs up)

Thank you for your comments, likes, and subscriptions. Your engagement helps my channel grow, although currently, the earnings are not enough to cover my bills. Despite this, I treasure the community we've built together. Some of you have recognized me in real life, especially at climbing gyms or rock climbing spots, and I'm always excited to connect in person.

Future Plans

I aim to do a part two of this video and update you when my channel reaches 20,000 subscribers. Let me know in the comments if you'd be interested in that kind of content. Meanwhile, don't forget to practice yoga and movement with me if you haven't already.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Make sure to subscribe, leave a thumbs up or down, and share your thoughts in the comments. A big hug and lots of love, and I look forward to our next yoga session together.
