In this video, I’ll walk you through every single aspect of how much I earned on YouTube in 2020, including
- YouTube ads
- YouTube sponsorships (sponsored videos and collaborations)
- Affiliate marketing income
- Digital products
It’s a strange time to talk about money, even though we made less than a fraction of what these big YouTubers have seen. YouTube has been a great source of not only income, but also a source of joy and creative experience. I couldn’t have asked for more – from all of you! Thanks for watching and supporting our tiny channel! See you in 2021.
