Real YouTube Earnings from My Small Photography Channel

YouTube literally bought me a burrito — and paid me $40.32 this month. In this video, I break down exactly how much I earn as a small YouTube creator in the photography niche — real numbers, no fluff, totally unscripted. We’ll walk through revenue from YouTube ads, Amazon affiliates, merch, and more. I’ll share what’s working, what isn’t, and why I started this channel in the first place: to teach, to create, and eventually run outdoor photography workshops with awesome people like you. Whether you're just getting monetized or wondering what kind of money small creators actually make, I hope this gives you some perspective — and helps you feel a little less alone in the grind. 🎥 Gear Mentioned in This Video (These are Amazon affiliate links — they cost you nothing extra but help support the channel!) • My Budget Camera Pick – Canon R8 👉 https://amzn.to/42jMVYT • Favorite Video/Landscape Lens – Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 👉 https://amzn.to/42xEMii ☕ Addicted to coffee… and to making cool stuff.
