We're loosing money on YouTube... (1st year monetised as a lifestyle channel)

This is how much YouTube paid us for the 1st year monetised as a lifestyle channel with 8,5K followers and 535K views.
We’ve been mortised on YouTube for one whole year and our income in this period may shock you.. Or discourage you (if what you wanted was an example of how to become rich quick). We may not have earned the big bucks, but we have learnt a few lessons along the way that we think could be very helpful. By sharing our analytics, and also putting the numbers into a broader context, that includes our costs, we hope to give you a more realistic expectation of what the income of a small YouTuber can look like.

This is where we get all the amazing music for our videos: https://bit.ly/waleandmeartlist (you can get 2 extra months free using this link). We love Artlist! Seriously.. we do. And think it’s worth every penny.
