It was close, but i'll take it. 😅

Post your goals below!

6 months after YouTube monetisation, here's what nobody tells you... Making $130 last month from AdSense was a wake-up call. That 'magic' 1K subscribers target? It's just the beginning of realising how little AdSense actually pays." I don't think many of us have sat down and really asked the question of what our personal monetary goal is. I was fortunate enough to monetise my Electric Vehicle channel very quickly, and I was ecstatic when I finally did. Yipee! I made it 🥳 Even though this fantastic milestone was achieved, in reality, making money with Adsense is never going to produce a comfortable income or replace an income. Here's the reality: My EV channel gets 2K-5K views per video. Last month's AdSense? $130. But when I started promoting affiliate products and gaining sponsorships, my income from this far exceeded my AdSense income by a country mile. One thing I wish I knew sooner and wish someone had told me is the fact that you don't need to achieve that magic metric of (1k subscribers and 4k watch hours). Sure, it feels great, but when the dust has settled and you see how much it pays, it suddenly dawns on you that you need to achieve thousands of views per video to ever make it worthwhile making videos. So, if you have a skill or passion you can share with the world, don't wait for permission from YouTube to monetise it. You can actually do that right now. If your content helps just 10 people solve a real problem, you're already ready to monetise. I've seen creators with 200 subscribers creating a great income because they serve a specific, engaged audience. Quality beats quantity every time. My biggest regret? Waiting 8 months to create my first digital product. Those months of 'building to 1K' could have been months of actual revenue. What knowledge could you package right now? What problem do your viewers ask about repeatedly? That's your first product. YouTube is a fantastic platform, but it's your marketing tool, not your business model.

@Ajayy Veda You don’t need a gazillion subs to start making money and building a business with YouTube, you just need to provide value and serve. Ajayy just took on his second paying client into his six month program with just over 300 subs. I want to emphasize this point - VIRALITY IS UNNECESSARY, SERVING IS. Show your audience you care and are able to help them and the rest will follow (and faster than you think) 🚀🙌

I had the incredible honor of being the keynote speaker at one of Germany’s most alternative health congresses. Standing on that stage in front of an audience of more than 1,500 people was both humbling and exhilarating. The energy in my audience was extraordinary — you could feel the curiosity, hope, and openness of everyone present. My talk resonated deeply, and the feedback I received was beyond inspiring. Many participants shared how they experienced a shift — moving from pain, confusion, or struggle toward a sense of clarity, relief, and even joy. It was truly a moment of transformation, not only for the audience but also for me. Today reminded me why I do what I do: to help people move from painful to wonderful and to empower them to embrace a healthier, more vibrant life.
