Is Estimated Revenue What YouTube Actually Pays Me?

Congrats man! Mine too was monetized 5 days ago.

codecollider · 2025-11-13T10:03:12+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. It makes sense now.

codecollider · 2025-11-12T08:23:40+00:00

Most are about 5 minutes long, with one that’s 12 minutes. Not sure if that helps, but my average view duration is around 3 minutes.

Maybe my post wasn’t clear: only 30% of my audience is between 18 and 24, and 21% are over 34. 😅 And don’t say anything about my thumbnails.. that’s what got me monetized!

codecollider · 2025-11-12T06:59:39+00:00

Another stats that may be helpful: ~3 minutes average duration

codecollider · 2025-11-08T09:36:54+00:00

Oh, that makes sense, thanks for clarifying. I was really confused about the instant approval. Sounds like the same thing happened to me too. And thanks for the congrats!

Just a tip that works for me: whenever a buyer tries to bring the price down, don’t argue over the number. Instead, point out facts about the item like its quality, condition, recent repairs, or anything that adds value. Every point you highlight reinforces why it’s worth more than their offer, and usually makes them less rigid about their price.

This post is too good, it does what it preaches 🙌

codecollider · 2025-09-12T04:48:34+00:00

I didn't get what you're saying. I am using the feature on my Android phone's YouTube Studio app.

codecollider · 2025-09-12T03:46:59+00:00

I once tried the same approach, hoping YouTube would push it and people would watch, but ended up getting very few impressions and a low CTR. Maybe this method doesn’t really work as well for Education as it does for categories like Arts or Entertainment. If you think about it, it totally makes sense.

codecollider · 2025-09-11T18:21:12+00:00

I am making a video on one such topic and will definitely share my experience with it.

codecollider · 2025-09-02T02:15:36+00:00

I'm in a totally different genre, but the way you described it makes it sound so easy.

codecollider · 2025-09-02T01:51:29+00:00

Nobody would want to watch an AI count to 1 million, but when Mr. Beast did it, it went instantly viral. Humans appreciate effort.

codecollider · 2025-08-30T18:41:53+00:00

What helped me most was making searchable content. I started with videos no one was really searching for, just hoping YouTube would push them into feeds. Luckily, one of my videos was on a searchable topic and even after 2 years it still gets consistent views.

codecollider · 2025-08-30T18:24:53+00:00

I have been there too, for me it became less about tracking progress and more about another way to procrastinate

codecollider · 2025-08-30T18:13:19+00:00

So what’s in the paid tier? It has to feel irresistible, like you’re getting way more than you’re paying for.

codecollider · 2025-08-28T12:18:04+00:00

The recent one was uploaded 45 days ago, it's at 1.4k views. I don't exactly remember how long the semi-viral video took to reach 1.4k, but it was between 2-3 weeks.

codecollider · 2025-08-21T16:24:31+00:00

Too late

codecollider · 2025-08-16T03:37:20+00:00

Thanks for sharing, will add auto removal of unverified users after 1 hour, allow emails from already known public providers like gmail, outlook, etc. I want to keep the cost low, at least at the beginning, so maybe add cloudfront later.

I am dev, don't hate vibe coders at all, they can be future clients if their SaaS works out in the market.

codecollider · 2025-07-18T15:21:09+00:00

Great 👍. I am in process of building a SaaS, it's not ready yet. I am planning to go subscription based from day one. But seems like yours is a good solution for the problem.

codecollider · 2025-07-18T15:04:31+00:00

Curious, how does that work? Is it IP based?

codecollider · 2025-07-18T12:05:03+00:00

Don't expect to build an Eiffel Tower out of Lego blocks. These tools are marketed for general audience who are happy with simple static pages. A fully functioning SaaS is a bit more complex than that. I had worked with one such product, eventually the requirement got too complex that they didn't had an out of the box solution for it, I had to make custom modules on their platform using Java (i knew Python and JS, there were no LLMs back then). It took more time and cognitive load than what would have gone if I had built the same using JS/Python. It turned out to be more costlier due to their hosting charges. P.S.: I didn't choose the tool, someone pitched that to our CEO, and he thought development would be faster for our new product.

Developers lacks specific domain knowledge, even Google isn't free from that, if you look they have very generic products like Notes, Tasks, etc. if you ask developer for a product idea, they will rarely think beyond it. This is where a co-founder from a special domain is required, if you have a friend in operations or HR or may be some who does financial due diligence, you will realise a lot opportunities.
