Reflections on Six Months of YouTube Monetization: What I Earned and Learned

On August 23rd, I marked a significant milestone: six months since my YouTube journey began with monetization. It seems surreal how swiftly this half-year has gone by. Just yesterday, I was frankly overwhelmed by the experience of sharing how much I earned during my initial month of monetization. For those unfamiliar with my channel, my name is Eileen, a certified Pilates instructor based in Miami. My content mainly revolves around Pilates, entrepreneurship, marathon training, running, golf, and my overall health lifestyle journey. Today, I aim to provide an in-depth look at my earnings and experiences as a smaller creator, hoping to shed light on the realities of YouTube income.
