Step 1: Forget Fame, Focus on Value
Most new YouTubers think they need millions of views. That’s not true.
Example:
- A finance channel with just 30,000 subscribers can earn more than a funny vlog channel with 500,000 subscribers. Why? Advertisers pay more for money, health, and tech topics.
👉 Don’t chase “viral.” Choose a topic where people need solutions (finance, learning, tech, health, career tips).
Step 2: Build a “Video ATM Machine”
Think of each video like a small ATM machine. Once you upload it, it keeps paying you every time people watch.
Example:
- A video, “How to Save $500 on Taxes”, may only get 2,000 views per month. But if your CPM is $10, that’s $20 per video every month.
- Upload 100 such videos, and you build 100 small ATM machines = $2000/month.
👉 Your goal = Make videos that keep working for you even when you sleep.
Step 3: Use the “3 Bucket Income System”
To hit $1000/week, don’t rely only on ads. Use three buckets:
- Ads (AdSense)
- YouTube pays you per 1000 views.
- If you make 100,000 views/week in a $5 CPM niche → $500.
- Affiliate Sales
- Add product links under your video.
- Example: Tech channel reviews a $100 gadget → 10 people buy → $100 commission.
- Brand Deals / Services
- Even with 5,000–10,000 subscribers, small brands pay $200–$500 for a mention.
- Example: A fitness YouTuber gets $400 from a protein brand for a simple shoutout.
👉 Mix these buckets. Even with medium views, you can touch $1000/week.
Step 4: Create the “$1000/week Formula
Here’s how the numbers can work:
- 3 videos/week Ă— 30,000 views each = 90,000 weekly views.
- At $5 CPM → $450 from ads.
- Add affiliate products → $300 from sales.
- Add 1 brand deal → $250.
= $1000 in one week.
👉 Notice you didn’t need 1 million views — just smart monetisation.
Step 5: Simple Examples Anyone Can Try

- Gamer

Step 6: Grow Smart, Not Hard

- Thumbnails matter: Make them clean and clickable.
- Community power: Reply to comments. Loyal fans buy from you.
