His two top videos were made in 10 minutes. While most creators will spend a lot more time than this on filming and editing, it is a glimpse into how, even if you make a video fast, you can earn great money if it\u2019s a topic you know very well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this information in mind, he walks you through two videos:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removing ear wax, which made $3,307 from 1 million views and would earn <\/span><b>$661,400 for 200 million views<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to unclog a toilet, which had just under 1M views and earned him $6,909.

He will have a video about installing fonts and then another one on mold in your toilet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But he seems to love what he does, and you can\u2019t fault him for creating content on things he likes. We assume that if he niched down further, he would have an audience that is even more engaged, and his subscribers would watch more of his videos.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. <span style=\"color: #5339d3;\">Shelby Church<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"This Is How Much YouTube Paid Me For My 1,000,000 Viewed Video (not clickbait)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/do1VLjNg6AE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shelby goes through a lot of tips throughout her video and she found that on her own channel, she can make <\/span><b>$500 &#8211; $10,000 for 1 million views<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
