Hi guys, this video is pretty different, but I thought you might be curious about how much money an artist can earn after becoming a monetized KZhead partner (Ad Revenue). The journey has been a lot more difficult than I expected!
Some regions such as the United States have an earlier monetization tier at 3000 public watch hours and 500 subscribers. This gives them access to memberships, super chat and shops but no AdSense and KZhead Premium Revenue until they reach the standard requirements.

wow... you got the 4.000h watched extremely fast!
Idk what it is but your videos are very... cozy(?). The lack of constant transition effects and the effort you put in your videos make them actually enjoyable to watch. Along with watching your cute pixelart vtuber (its great) :3
the music choice and how she talks too
Yes, And I really like the sound of her voice. 😍 Its feel good content for me
She's catchy and her narration is entertaining
Also no screaming like these dopamine junkies on KZhead screaming every 10 seconds for no reason 😂
It's pretty much her voice that felt so cozy. It sounds like someone reading us a fairy tale book while we are going to sleep... mommy- sorry- mo-
That's honestly amazing achievement, and thanks for providing your insight. Getting that first paycheck from KZhead is one of my favorite memories. I still remember it, there was lots of emotions involved. If it wasn't for my consistency and hard work (and a little bit of Famester of course), I probably wouldn't have made anything.
What niche of content do you post?
silly ass bot
Real ones follow the channel since the weird bird at 3AM short 😤 Jokes aside, thanks for the transparency! it's good to see some clear information on something usually so secretive
Thank you for the commerce and finance advice! In all seriousness thank you for your hard work and I hope that this quickly grows into something sustainable and successful
Wait, It wasn't a joke? Does switching to "Financial channel" really helps in growing on KZhead? (and in terms of money, of course)
It was especially cool of you being as transparent as you were! I'm sure everyone looking to start up a youtube channel appreciate your honesty with the system. I'll be cheering for you pikat! 💓
for a finance and commerce channel you have pretty dope art! Btw I found your channel through the "upgrade character design" video :)
For any small KZheadr who is watching here, dont give up keep pushing its evident from here that it will get better with consistency. Lets keep going there is light at the end of the tunnel.
You have a magnetic style, and the ONLY vtuber that doesn't annoy me. No shade on vtubers tho, I just feel weird watching any avatar design but yours for some reason, uncanny vally type thing. I think you have enormous potential. Just keep doing what your doing because your content is both valuable, charming, entertaining and most importantly inspiring! So glad I found this channel before you explode :)
Pikat! The only Vtuber whose virtual avatar works for me! great vid!
And voice
I always wanted to try one, but having a custom one is Expensive rip.. My RL voice is very weird, i used to have lot of fun with my self on the Web using that Steam app that let you turn into specific things ,i used to be a red panda and my voice fited it

Thanks for sharing. It was so nice to see. other creator be transparent about what they make on KZhead I will add on to your video with my own experience. In my first year as a full-time KZheadr, I mostly focused on short animations. I could only produce 1 or 3 a month because animations take a lot of time. Overall, from January 2023 to December 2023, I made $14k from estimated revenue! But I have Split audiences, so most of viewer are just watching my shorts and not my long from. and on agave I make about $1,000-$2000 depending on how much I upload This year, I am more focused on making longer content since I know it make a lot more in revue However, it feels like I am basically starting over since I am animating 8 minutes of a video and building up a new audiences =W= Every channel is different, and not all revenue is the same. You inspired me to try out long-form content. Also, my grammar is really bad, so hopefully, I made sense."
What's agave?
You're one of my favorite art channels, mainly because your transparency, it's nice to know you can be critical of yourself and still showcase that urge of improvement, being this transparent with your viewers is sorta rare so I really appreciate the insight you provide. 10/10 content creator. :D
Your "how to upgrade character designs" video is what got me into your channel! It's cool to see you showing us your journey so far with how revenue works, opening up one of your videos is just a good way to sit back and relax while learning about something new! There's sure to be more progress made!
Damn, seeing you opening this channel and actually seeing you grow is REALLY heartwarming. You totally deserve it!! You are one of my favorite artists, keep up the good work! (And the good money!? )
this single video has completely changed the trajectory of my life
wtf
What
TYSM! No other videos have helped me more to understand about monetization like yours did thank you for the simple and easy explanation!
You're currently a big inspiration for starting to do my own kind of stuff like this, although I'm very much an amateur. It's really helpful and cool to see the whole process of even getting started to make money on KZhead. Doing a great job! definitely my favorite youtuber atm
Wow this was very informative, thanks for being so transparent and sharing your experience ❤️
I love how your voice sounds, it's nice to listen to in the background while doing other things. Not that I don't watch the video, I just like having videos playing as I work (also an artist.) Very calming, thankyou. The insights on this video and the information you provided is very helpful too, I really appreciate how transparent you were being. I hope your channel grows more throughout the year, new subscriber here :)
OMG! Thank you for sharing how old your YT channel is!! IT GIVES ME HOPE FOR REVIVING MINE! ❤ I was contemplating STARTING OVER with a new one but I also didn't want to leave behind my older videos! THANK YOUUUU
Super cool video from my favorite finance channel. Honestly really informative and appreciate the openness. Good luck growing!
omg i loved the dynamic and the editing of this video
This was really interesting. I never got so much inside about how the stuff works. Thank you for tellin us. ^^
Been loving your content so far, really hope you can sustain off this, good luck!
found you like yesterday and i’m loving this content very concise and enjoyable to watch
Proud to support you from Germany haha Thanks so much for the Infos, that is genuinely so helplful
You are crazy. I've long been following your works on twitter and you're already made crazy progression on KZhead.
Whoa just found out about your channel. You're so good at this your progress was so fast in just 3 months of content. Thanks for letting us see all this.
Well done, grats on achieving monetization! As a fellow aspiring KZheadr it does get frustrating at times but all we can do is just not give up and keep on pushing! Also cool vtuber avatar design!
This is seriously so helpful! Thank you!
I have watched a ton of how to grow on YT videos, but this one is all I need and literally covered everything and explained everything with SO much ease! Thanks a lot❤
I'm here from the reaction to PewDiePie video. I don't watch or ever did watch him, but I still got curious, but it was mostly because I've never seen a pixelart vtuber model before. It's super cute! I stayed because I liked your voice and humor tho!
I have never gotten to seen these types of videos from creators I follow, this is very interesting. Can't wait for more advice on Finance and Commerce
Not a lot of HK artist produce KZhead videos, at least in English that I know of, have you consider making videos sharing your experience as an artist in HK? IRL video of art markets or conventions, both as attendee and possibly as a vendor if you choose to do so. The ease or difficulty of accessing art supplies. Culture around being an artists in general. Heck, just inserting some slice of life stuff not entirely about art would be neat, like what do you snack on while drawing? KZhead now has dual audio track features, having a Cantonese option would be cool, especially with terminologies, it'll be just like TV shows in HK. On a side note, I love that character design video, it would be fun to watch you praise or roast characters from submitted by viewers.
I'd def be interested in seeing more vids that are just honest and address topics other art channels don't often go into. I watch tons of art videos on this site but a lot of them talk about the same stuff over and over. This is the first time I've seen one actually describe the youtube process and how much money a channel of this size is making. I feel like there are a lot of topics bigger art youtube channels don't often discuss, esp because they often exist only to herd people towards mentorship programs.
Love the transparency. Thanks for all of the info!
Thank you for your transparency and candidness; all the information you gave is very illustrative. I have subscribed as well
Hi Pikat, you're amazing, thank you for teaching us about art, you deserve more and I know you'll make it eventually, you're an inspiration ❤
Great video and I love your art style! Thanks for the transparency.
Very fascinating video, thank you for being so transparant with the walkthrough on actual KZhead finances
great video! cpm and rpm was kind of hard to wrap my head around ;; happy for ur success, 31k subs is a loooot when ur starting out!! :D
it's been awesome to see your growth on KZhead!! kinda gives me a little hope that i might be able to make it one day as a current concept art student lol i actually found your channel from your Twitter page when you announced it! crazy to see where everyone found your content in the comments, keep it up!!
I’ve always hoped we would one day get Pikat commerce and finance tips. Super stoked for the mortgage backed security video now!
Thank you for this video explaining eveything in detail! Makes me easily able to avoid some mistakes along the way.
I love the ending. The pain of having to do it all over again resonates deeply >.< Thanks for sharing! I'm glad your channel is blowing up ~
Love your voice, so soothing to listen to. Also, very well-made and informative video. Thank you for the tips
Just starting properly myself, this was some really helpful stuff to learn! Also just a really cool/fun vibe going on over here, consider me subbed!
thanks for being so like transparent about this its chill and cool
What a good video, i dont even have interest in the subject, but the pacing was so good that i got caught in it and watched the whole thing
This was BEYOND helpful. Seriously thank you. I'm always looking for someone to break down the finances for running an art chan gel but by that time they're already years in and successful. So thank you for being genuine and sharing your beginning experience. 🥰
I would consider her already successful for such a small and young channel. I think most channels won't grow this fast so you won't earn as much as her. But this video is definitely exciting.
I love how this is edited! Thank you for sharing all the info you did! Super inspiring as a "funemployent" KZheadr myself with bills lol
wow, thank you for your honest advices and explanations about video-production. You are such a special person.
This was amazing! Never saw someone talk so openly about this
I don't care about the video topics, I'm just here for the vibes 😊 (and for financial advice of course)
You're giving such a helpful tips and i love the way you deliver it! More finance and commerce please :p
Thank you for being so transparent and actually showing your earnings
Good stuff! Even after researching this space for years I learneded things. Thanks finance pikat!
Omg I didn't know you opened a yt channel!!! That's great!!! I love your avatar, it's pleasing to see :)
this was so helpful! i dont wanna do art youtube full time, but if i ever got to a point where i could earn a little extra chump change, then that would be great! and this video really helped clear up some of the questions i undoubtedly wouldve had about it all. thanks for being a very entertaining personality too haha
105k subs in 5 months is crazy growth, well deserved pikat ^^
I really love how geniuine you are, i remember watching you on twitch, im a xonxept artist and i have mixed emotions about making money through education instwad of using art ro actually make products such as games but it shows that it is possible and probably much better in the long run, also i think long term this will give you way more money then working as a programmer. So yeah good to see you on the right path gogo pikat
Great stuff, it's refreshing to see a new perspective on this topic
Very cool for you to be this transparent, ive never seen someone go down to their earnings for each video each day. I also never knew there could be practically a month or two worths of lag between published content and being payed, that part is wild.
The "What I Did When Art Wasn't Fun" video is what got me here! I love the transparency with the videos I've seen, there's not a lot of sugar coating and it gets right to the point, this one included.
What a pretty voice and your character design is so cute!! YOU GOT THIS, I BELIEVE!!
Damn its rough out here for a pikat. Good luck with the content push dice collector.
very cool commerce and finance video. I learned a lot about commerce and finance .... keep it up👍
I would love to hear more commerce and finance tips from finance expert pikat as you continue your journey!
amazing financial advice! but jokes aside you are the first youtuber i see doing this i love your videos they hit the sweet spot between funny and educational
keep going, I love your content, and (upgrade character design) video is the one made me follow you :3
I have no idea why your channel got recommended, but as someone who's about to get my first youtube paycheck soon its cool to see people's daily revenue from YT (I only get a couple bucks since im avg'ing 2k views a day x) ). Good luck in your endeavors and get that endless supply of booba tea.
Thank you for this. These numbers are really good, 5 weeks & 7 videos to get monetized, good job! (can't relate 😅)
I'm about to get fired at my job and my channel ain't gonna make me money any time soon. That's awesome you were able to grow so fast and that you're still able to keep at it! Blows my mind how difficult it is to bring in views, especially in 2024, then I see people getting subs and blowing up fast. This video is helpful so I really appreciate you sharing all this info. Going to take it to heart and see if it can apply to my and what I can do to try to grow my channel.
Thank you for making this video. I wouldn’t have made KZhead videos if it weren’t for this video. I hope you keep up the good work and I hope you can afford more boba teas in the future.
Very useful video! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for sharing your journey 🥶🤟🏽
Thank you for all the great pieces of informationnnnnn !!!! also love your videos !! so dynamic and insightful blblb !
You grew so fast wooh 😭 congrats!
thank you for the commerce and finance advice. it has helped me significantly in my own commerce and finance situation.
Thank you for the overwhelming commerce and finance advice, It's Guy's Here!! YOU ARE THE BEST!! 👍
Thanks for sharing this video!! Just found your channel hehe
Is really stressfull when you don't have a job and are working on a personal project but you are growing really fast so keep it up the good work!
Thanks for this gold knowledge fr!
Found you through your boxes video and stayed for the -funny skibidi miku drawing- VERY USEFUL FINANCIAL ADVICE
im loving your channel, its amazing
Thank you for making this video, it is very useful to know how KZhead works. I'm sure this will help someone. great job.
A very insightful video!!! Thank you!
Your model is so cute and this video is not only informative but strangely relaxing keep up the good work
i'm going through a pretty rough patch because not having a job (and my depression just hited me from nowhere) and i was thinking on giving up everything art relatad but i think this cheered me up a bit thank you
Im bummed cuz your streams start at 6 am for me ToT I just be watching vods while drawing Its crazy how good your videos and streams are, especially considering that you are new to KZhead! I wish you quick and consistent growth (:
This is really interesting, thank you for sharing
Oh wow I didn't realize this channel wasn't full swing until end of 2023. The Algorithm recommended it to me in Feb. 2024 and based on how amazing the content was I thought this channel was established long ago. Love your videos so far. :D
That's a great video, full of information, I'm on the same journey, and this gives hope 😁
First vid of yours I’m watching and I already love your personality and overall vibe! Gg on the insane growth btw!
Love this, definitely gives me some hope lol
Lol this video actually pitches your channel pretty well, I alread want to watch your 'what I did when art wasn't fun' video, as I've been stuck that way for about 2 years lol
Also don't forget they changed so you can have 500 subs and/or 3 milions short views/ 3000 watchours. But i work with my channel so..
Those open up different monetization though and aren’t related to ad sense
You can’t get Adsense with that requirement
You still need 1k subs for ads... I found that out myself
500 subs and struggling with watch hours gl
@@KillerCam360 yeah, watch hours is hard to get. I suggest making videos that's currently trending. I don't do that tho cuz I'm already monetized MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! My average view count is low asf tho
Hi. I just discovered your channel. Your art is sooo cool and I love your storytelling style. New subscriber!! 🎉🙌🌈
Awesome break down 🙌🏻
Really nice video for people who are trying to get into youtube! 👍
