I got my first cheque from YouTube!

It’s been raining for a couple of weeks here in Vancouver, but those gray skies aren’t getting me down because I finally, for the first time, got paid for my YouTube videos! (Can you hear the choir singing?) This has been a long time coming folks.  I made my first YouTube video over 2 years ago and became a YouTube Partner over 1 year ago, and now this will mark the date that I officially got paid by them for my silly, stupid videos!

It’s been ages since I made a YouTube video because of a stupidly busy schedule in my personal life out in the real non-cyber world, but soon I’ll be getting back at it and it’s nice to know that even when I wasn’t making YouTube videos, I was still making money off of my old ones.  The point of me putting videos online isn’t the money though of course (the amount I got paid only barely begins to cover my costs of making the videos), but it’s certainly a nice bonus and incentive to keep putting so much time, effort, and funds into my wacky vids.  And it more than covered the $100 I’ll be giving away when I get 1000 people subscribed to my newsletter (top right corner of this blog – hint hint).

I’m already about 15% of my way towards another cheque which is exciting… that’s almost enough to cover the cost of a costume!  Woot woot!

Have you made any money from YouTube or other online pursuits?
