[07:58] so we got we spent a hundred would cash tickets in and we got seventy right so he lost about thirty bucks ish something like that so let me tell you the the situation now why no matter what always went on these always when I
[08:13] guys know a lot of people ask me about this a lot of people seen some of the past videos and some didn't do very good at all and some of them are absolutely scary as good as they did I'm gonna go back
[08:28] gonna go back I'll put screenshots up here to the very first lot of video ever done I posted back I believe was of July I took a screenshot sir but I can't see it on my phone is Jean or July of 2019 and uh I
[08:43] phone is Jean or July of 2019 and uh I posted that video it was on a whim and there for the first month and a half two months and did nothing at 1,000 views
[08:57] months and did nothing at 1,000 views which is terrible and I was thinking anymore right we're done with we're done with the old lottery tickets I didn't with the old lottery tickets I didn't work out so then thinking more about it
[09:09] work out so then thinking more about it I noticed my these are going up and that I noticed my these are going up and that video to date has 1.9 million views and it's made me almost 26 thousand dollars alright and I tell you this for a few
[09:25] reasons here and the most alarming thing on that the CPM is $19 which is about double what anybody else gets almost anything a lot of youtubers don't tell you to know that they wants to donate money to they wants to do this or that
[09:41] and they got to play the game they don't have any money but if you go look have any money but if you go look they're making insane money right but they play it up as they don't so it's not kind of bring that out front now I
[09:54] have another video a secondary video the second video I've ever done has seven hundred forty-three thousand views and that made seven thousand three hundred and sixty nine dollars so between those two in the rest of them I made about
[10:07] forty thousand dollars on videos this past year on only on lotto videos so when you guys see me scratch tickets and lose 20 bucks here or forty bucks there and you're like oh my god you're so stupid Nathan I can't believe you're so
[10:23] stupid well I'm not Stephen if you haven't noticed it's panned out pretty good so I like to thank you all for watching that I did use that money to build my shop about the m5 with that money and we'll
[10:40] continue to keep doing the shop for the channel for the BMW guys it's thought I put that out there it's a controversial subject and a lot of people told me not to do that people told me to do it so just showing the revenue of a couple
[10:54] everything what's going on but that gives you kind of the scope of what's happened and hopefully guys understand a little more about what's going on so we see somebody else like mr. beast with twenty six million views
[11:07] I don't know what a CPM is like any figure up but it's about ten thousand dollars if you're making ten CPM ten thousand dollars and it's roughly ten thousand for every million views right so if he has 26 million views on this
[11:24] so if he has 26 million views on this one video let me see here times 26 made two hundred sixty thousand dollars on one video that's if you had a real
[11:39] probably made as much as four to five hundred thousand dollars in one video hundred thousand dollars in one video that's the story YouTube so be sure to and I'll keep building shop for the BMW guys and we'll keep doing this thanks
[11:53] guys and we'll keep doing this thanks for watching guys we'll see you later
