So, if you've ever wondered, how much does YouTube actually pay faceless YouTuber or how much can I earn towards the end of a month as a faceless content creator with few subscribers, emphasis on the few

0:25subscribers, then this video is for you. So, basically in today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you all how much YouTube paid me for the month of February, that is last month because I got this email last week, February 27, and we are on we are currently on 3rd of March. So, I I just wanted to make sure that the whole money has reflected straight to my bank account before making this video so that I will not just be like, you know, Yeah. So, try my best to make sure you pay attention. Without much being said, let's dive straight into that video, okay? So, hi my loves, welcome and

1:02welcome back once again to my YouTube channel. Welcome back to Life of Princess Chi Amaka. Yeah, so if you see my face for the very first time, my name is Princess Chi Amaka, and on this particular channel, we talk about YouTube paycheck, earning, how much you can actually earn as a YouTuber, okay? Some of my bank vlog, receiving my paycheck as a YouTuber, things you need to know before you monetize and after you monetize your YouTube channel, and also some motivational videos to keep you going cuz it's not easy to grow here on YouTube. So, if this sound like something you love or something you might want to be seeing often, please

1:40make sure to do well to hit the subscribe button and become a part of our amazing, beautiful family, okay? Yeah, so actually, I got monetized on October, towards the ending of October. I think that was around 20 something of October, though I got a particular claim from YouTube. That is my monetization was rejected, but after appealing it was accepted back after like a day. Yeah. So, I officially started earning from November 2025 down to December, down to January, down to February. Okay? Yeah. So, I just got my first ever YouTube paycheck, and that is what we are going to be talking about in this particular video. Yeah. So, the

2:22thing is when I got monetized that is around that October ending. You know, first thing first, you're going to wait till you hit your $10 threshold. In fact, I hit my $10 threshold the following day because of the kind of RPM and CPM I had I have on this particular channel. It's not like all my other channels you've been seeing me. Like the RPM and CPM is crazily high. Yeah. So, hitting your $10 threshold should never be an issue for you. And if you're still wondering what kind of faceless niche this is, it's a better and prayer niche. Okay? There are other different faceless niche that pays

2:59very well, too. That pays very high. And there are still some that pay lesser. So, just look for the one you can do and stick to it. Okay? Yeah. So, after getting monetized, I wasn't really able to provide bank information to set up my TIN and every other stuff. So, I just left it and said, "Okay. You know what? In 2026, since my money cannot run, once you to pay me, it goes directly to my AdSense." So, I just told myself, "One step at a time." because I used a different information for this particular channel. That is why it's very, very advisable as a YouTuber or as

3:36an upcoming YouTuber, you plan on having close to five different channels. Yes. Some people have up to six channels here on YouTube, and they're all doing well. They're all monetized earning. So, sometimes it's not always advisable to use one particular information for all your channels because if one happens to be affected, it can affect the next channel. I hope you understand. Yeah, so that was what So that was what was actually delaying this channel. If not, I should have received my first paycheck

4:05since December. Right? Yeah, so after setting my whole um after adding my dollar account, that is a different dollar account to this particular channel, and after setting up my TIN, that is T I N, tax identification number, YouTube is going to ask you for it, but trust me when I say the procedure is actually very smooth. And if you'll be needing a video for this, you can let me know in the comment section, and I'll be dropping it and be sharing it with us cuz I documented the process, okay? So after that, um about 2 days later, I got this email. I I think I did this setup around

4:4425th of February. But I was very very surprised. Around um around um 27th in the morning, that was one of the first emails I got. And this is what the email says, "Google AdSense has sent your money." That is, "Check your payment." And I'm like, "Wow, so fast, so soon." So I was curious, how much is YouTube actually going to pay me? Because so far, so good, I've been earning since November, December, January, February. So it's like 3 months now. What and what are they going to pay me? Are they going to pay me all my money? Or how will they do it? So I don't just know, but I'm going

5:21to be sharing with us the exact amount I received. So I'm going to be going through my screen recording right now, and we're going to be going through it together. So from this screen here, you can see it. Check your recent payment. We sent a payment for your AdSense for YouTube. And if you haven't received a payment via bank transfer after 15 business days from the date of this email, please contact your bank. The thing is, if YouTube sent you this email, I think highest 5 days maximum, the money should reflect on your bank account. So, on my main channel, it takes sometime just 3 days. Sometimes 4 days, it depends,

6:02okay? Yeah, so let's go ahead and click on this sign in. Go to Google. Let's go and sign in to my main AdSense profile and view exactly how much YouTube paid me. Yeah, and this is what we have here. YouTube earning. You can see it. Last payment, $1,824. So, this So, this is exactly how much YouTube paid me for the month of

6:25February as a faceless content creator. As a faceless YouTuber, like this is really, really amazing. And if I'm to say, I think this should be for my November and December paycheck. Yeah, from my calculation, because they're going to minus their tax and every other details. So, let me quickly see if I can be able to see um the tax that was deducted so that we can actually make the whole calculations together, because I

6:56really want to show us the tax. Yes. Um view transaction. Okay, from March 1st to 2026, that is just for the new month. Um I think um um February 26, 2026. Yes, this was what was sent. $1,824. And this is the tax. Jesus Christ, it's crazy. The tax that was sent is $522.28. Oh my God, that is too much. Wow. So, I think um this was the total

7:37money. $2,346.49. Minus $522. think that is going to give us 1824. Let's quickly do that calculation because I haven't even really checked here ever since I got this email. So, let's check. 2346. Oh, sorry. 2346 - Oh my god, the tax is crazy. - 522. Okay, - 522. Wow, 1824. Yeah, this was This exactly my paycheck for like 2 months, yeah. So,

8:20wow. Imagine, I earned $2,346 and YouTube removed 522 for tax. Oh my god, this is crazy. I wasn't even up until now, if not, I will not be acting this surprised. Well, do you know what? I'm not even surprised because on my channel, I think it's just Okay, it's not as high as this, but it's almost like this, but this is actually very, very high. And I'll be

8:48telling us exactly why it's high, okay? Yeah, so basically, this is how much YouTube paid me, and later on in this video, we're going to be checking how much it is in naira. So, do not skip this video. Don't skip any part of this video, okay? So, if you're wondering, why was I charged that high and what is it for exactly? The thing is, if you're monetized on YouTube, you're to You are You're going to pay for tax. So, whether you set up your tax uh uh So, whether you set up your TIN, which is your tax identification number, or not, you will still pay tax. Why is

9:22because the money we earn on YouTube is dollar, and it's coming all the way from USA. And you know that country, they pay tax. So, that is why you have to pay tax. Now, that TIN you set up during your monetization, one of the reason why you should set it up is because so that you won't be charged high. I've heard of creators who neglected setting up their TIN and at the end of the day YouTube just

9:49charged them so high. Instead of the usual amounts that they're supposed to charge them. So, make sure you set up your TIN after monetization is very, very important, okay? Yeah, so that is one of the reason why um that tax was deducted. And secondly, reason why it was very high is because this channel most of the viewers, in fact, out of 100% 88 or 80% of the viewers are all from the United States. You know, one thing is when you get viewers from United States, YouTube tend to charge you high

10:26for the tax. Because, do you know why? Views from United States tend to earn you more. Let's assume um you have viewers from Nigeria and me, I have viewers from United States. I'm going to earn times three of your earning. That's just how it is. So, the higher you earn, the higher your tax. Or, the higher you have um this what country watching you, the higher your tax. It's vice versa. I think all things being equal, ceteris paribus. Yeah, so that is it and that's is the reason why this particular

11:05channel the tax was very, very high. Unlike my main channel, if I maybe happen to earn like $600 in a month, I think the tax they deduct sometimes is 200 and something or sometimes 180 something dollar. Because on my main channel, I have UK audience, but not all that much. Nigerians are my main

11:26audience on my main YouTube channel. While on this particular channel, I just have all of them. I have Nigerian, I have US. In fact, Nigerian is also my main audience on this particular life of Princess Charm Academy you are watching me from. Okay? Yeah. So, that is that and that is all about how much YouTube paid me for the month of February or let me just say how much YouTube paid me for the very first time as a faceless creator. So, let's quickly check how much it is in Naira. Let me just So, 1824

11:58Let's go. Okay, it's it's already here. Yeah. 1824 multiplied by 1450. Let us say maximum of dollar as of when I'm recording this video. So, we have 2,644,800. This is exactly how much YouTube paid me as a faceless content creator. Now, ask yourself, is YouTube still worth it? Imagine you're being at the comfort of your home shooting with just a mobile phone. Now, before we even get into that, faceless channel is not for the weak. I know this particular channel, unlike my other channel, I spend for this particular channel because you have to pay for 11 lab, which is the AI voice. You have to pay for um

12:47the other apps where you get your script to record your video. That is where you get your script to get the audio. [laughter] Okay? So, this particular niche you have to spend. And I believe some of our distant channels they're actually passing through this. You have to pay for CapCut, yes, to edit your video. But, I think at the end of the day, if you check it, if you minus, if you add, it's worth it. Yeah. So, this is me trying to let you to understand you have to take your faceless YouTube channel or

13:18even your normal channel seriously. Okay? It's worth it. Okay? So, if you have any question, always to well to go down to the comment section and drop it and I'll be with you shortly. So, thank you so much for watching this particular video. It's already too long and at the end of the day, I'll see you all in my

13:38next one. Bye.
