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.
