Good question. If you're Reno and you have a YouTube channel and you feel you've somehow blundered into a 10,000-strong audience, you might ask yourself if you can you make money with a relatively "smaller audience" like this one? How can you compete with all the huge accounts that generate millions upon millions of views like PewDiePie and MrBeast? And he didn't "blunder" into that subscriber count, he posted repeatedly for most of the four years he's had this account, with a 2 year gap when he was swimming in college. Here's a link to his YT channel: Reno James But for the last year or so he's been posting again and getting some traction as now he has 2.2 million channel views and 400-plus videos uploaded. He's put in the work. The video that's below has 40K views and it was posted just 2 weeks ago. It hasn't gone viral but it raises some interesting points if you're looking to monetize your YouTube channel or just l...

You've just uploaded your video to YouTube and now you're watching the view counter crawl upwards as the hours pass. Will this banger of a video finally be the one that breaks through? Will you get 100K views? Or (gasp!) will be the one that generates 1,000,000 views? You have visions of Adsense millions dancing 💃 in your head. Maybe this time you'll hit the jackpot and make a boatload of money while your subscribers and others enjoy your content. Maybe you'll see a record on your first day with the most views recorded in one day, but you think that Mr Moneybags, MrBeast, probably has that record too. But, nope. Surprisingly, MrBeast DOESN'T have the video that has received the most views in 24 hours. He did, but then a new gunslinger showed up and stole his thunder. Below you'll find most of the videos that have the most first day views. The video with the most views was the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (bet you forgot about that one, didn't...

Everyone who dreams of making a fortune online uploading to YouTube, Instagram or TikTok is interested when someone with monetized content gives you a peek at how much YouTube pays them and True Crime With Alex just uploaded a video showing us how a youtuber, with 10,000-plus subscribers and 393 videos, is doing. Alex, based in Romania, has been uploading videos consistently for almost three years since August 2022 and she has been concentrating on the "True Crime" niche. Whether crime videos interest you or not, sticking with a niche like this is one of those things all those gurus spout off about (before they try to sell you their course you "have to have to make money online and be successful"), but it can work if you put in the work. True Crime videos can do well, and doing the research shows they pay fairly well if you attract the right audience or market. Just ask Ray William Johnson , who has been posting feverishly about True Crime in recent years with hu...

According to the website myu2b.com , it looks like Ray William Johnson could be making as much as $2,000 each day from his Youtube channel. Really? 2K per day? Actually the numbers used to calculate what Ray "potentially" makes each day are imprecise. Don't get me wrong, Ray is probably making a great living these days through his main channel, but is he really making as much as $730,000 a year ($2,000 x 365 days equals 730K) just by posting videos onto Youtube? I don't know. Ray knows, and Youtube probably knows, and Ray's accountant and the taxman, too I guess. But how does the website myu2b.com come up with that figure? According to the website and what I've read elsewhere, the figure is based pretty much entirely on 2 factors - traffic to his channel and an average clickthrough rate on the ads. That is where the fuzzy math comes in. The daily traffic (views) is a relatively precise measurement, but the imprecision is the clickthrough rate. Anyone wh...
