My YouTube Is Finally Monetised!
It took me 3 years and here’s what you need to know
It finally happened.
- After 3 years of uploading videos…
- Responding to comments
- And refreshing my analytics page more times than I’d like to admit
My YouTube channel has been monetized.
Aaaaaaaaaa… :) :) :)
And here is the reality.
This is the story most creators don’t share.
The long, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately rewarding journey of building a channel alongside other priorities.
Between client deadlines, personal commitments, and the occasional creative drought, my YouTube growth was slow tbh. :(
There were moments I questioned whether it was worth continuing.
Yes really.
Just last month, in April, I didn’t post any video!
When I was just starting out…
I’d pour hours into a video that barely reached 100 views!
There would also be weeks where my subscriber count seemed frozen in time! :’)
But what kept me going wasn’t just the promise of monetization.
