I quit my job to become a YouTuber, here is how much $$$ I made
🕑 Added 2025-10-14 14:05:27 +0000 UTCMy first year on YouTube was the wildest roller coaster I have ever been on (and if you know me, you know that I am not a big fan of roller coasters).
I started out with a little bit of savings and loads of sheer will. Then, I quickly learned that YouTube is just as much about being a businessman as it is a creator. In this video, I talk allllll about how much money I made, how I made it, and what's next.
I took out the ad segment, but! If you want a chance to win a robot vacuum, enter here:

Also, I wrote a bit about the process of making this video in last week's newsletter, so check that out for some BTS. If you have any helpful feedback, I am all ears!
And, as always, thank you for your support, bud <3 It means the world.

When I saw the new brand I was bummed because I love the illustration of all the tech swimming in the lake. Glad to see it’s now on a t shirt! Keep going bud!

Thanks for your video! I'm so glad to have discovered you while you were creating at the Verge, then able to continue following you on your journey. I'm so inspired by you. I'm just starting my own journey onto YouTube and there's so much to consider that it's very overwhelming, especially as someone who doesn't have a background in this. Seeing this video now really is putting my mind at ease about the major things stressing me out with this process and reassures me to be creative. I'm going to really consider the newsletter idea, too.

First of all congrats on your first year. Secondly how on earth did you，meet that Belgian guy？ I’m from Belgium so I recognized the brands shown in your video.

So much cool editing in this vid, especially the color pencils and the Google sheets! You always find ways to make informational bits dynamic and in your style, it's awesome. Proud to be a patron!

I appreciate the honesty and transparency in this video. I also love you walking us through your balance between work and life as well as personal projects, along with the struggles of when and where and how to partner after feeling a bit vulnerable after leaving The Verge.

Great video. Really interesting insights into your first year. I'm really happy for you making this bold step. And I'm happy for me, because your videos were always my favourite on The Verge, but now I can view Becca videos with the real Becca, without constraints from a big company above.
