Wanna know how to "make it" on YouTube? It's pretty simple

As someone who has never made a video for YouTube, how does revenue work there? Do you get a monthly check from Google? Can you monitor subscribers, views, likes (that so many YouTubers seem to beg for) to know roughly how much money to expect?

I've always been curious how much money there is actually to be made. I know some channels I watch use Patreon and make 2-5K a month, but they never disclose how much revenue YouTube itself makes them.

 

The money you get from Google from views and ads isn't a whole lot.. Even if you have 200,000 subs and you get 50,000 views on each video you will probably get 500$ the most from Google..   So the way that Youtubers actually make big money is through sponsors.. Lets say I am a fairly popular youtuber with thousands of views.. Sponsors will see that and contact you and offer you deals.. One way is you can promote their products in your videos.. Normally Youtubers with 150,000+ subscribers make around 2-5k dollars a month from sponsors.
