how much youtube paid me with 4000 subscribers after 2 years of monetisation | shorts revenue, CPM

here's how much money i make as a small creator / youtube channel with under 5k subscribers.
chapters down below!

this is how much i made in my first two years of being monetised on youtube as a small creator. i also share how long it took me to get monetised and how much youtube paid me with 4000 subscribers! the numbers will shock you - i have no viral videos and i don't post consistently either. i will be going through my analytics month on month, discussing my RPM and CPM and seeing how these metrics changed throughout the months. i go through how much i make off some of my popular youtube shorts with 200k views. how much do youtube shorts make with 1M views? how much do small youtubers make?

i am a big advocate of pay transparency and i hope this will help any aspiring youtubers in 2024 start their channel. when i first made my channel i was always wondering how much do small youtubers make? what is their CPM based on their niche? but i couldn't find any answers on youtube as most of the videos i watched were from creators with large followings or viral videos... i hope this video answers all your questions :)
