I feel both relief and sadness.

Let me backtrack for those of you just coming on board. This is my second YouTube channel.

I don’t know if I just got tired of the first one or what.

But here I am, trying to kick off a legal topics channel without feeling like I’m just doing more legal work. I mean…I don’t want to be a double-attorney.

The second channel was monetized at the end of January 2023, and now I’ve just finished by first full month. Of course, it was the shortest month of the year.

Let’s talk about the stats.

See those views.

While I did share some of my videos. This was really YouTube pushing some of these videos out.

You can’t count on YouTube to push out your videos every day, every month, or every anything. That’s the sad part.

You can see that when YouTube stopped doing its thing and even when I continued to post videos, the views stayed pretty much in the same spot.

As you can also see, I didn’t post every day. Imagine if I had. What could I have achieved.

I was shooting for 500k. I didn’t make it.

But I’m good with my first full month. That’s the relief part.

Here’s what the income looked like.

Just so you know, I’m not sitting back waiting for YouTube to push out my videos. I’m working behind the scenes to take steps to push out my videos.

And, of course, this is only one YouTube channel that I’m working on out of all the other things I do in my life.

So, we’ll see how this continues.

I hope this information was helpful to those of you wanting more information about online income, YouTube, and revenue streams.
