How I Earn $10,000 Per Month With DIY Craft Videos On Youtube

If someone had told me that sharing my love for crafting on YouTube would turn into a $10,000-a-month business, I wouldn’t have believed it. But here I am today, earning more than I ever imagined just by doing what I love—creating DIY craft videos and sharing them with the world.

It all started as a hobby. I’ve always been passionate about crafting—whether it’s making handmade gifts, decorating my home, or upcycling old items into something new. My friends would always ask how I made certain things, and they encouraged me to share my creations with a bigger audience. So, I decided to give YouTube a try.

In the beginning, I didn’t have any high-end equipment—just my phone, a few basic supplies, and my little crafting corner. My videos were simple, but I made sure to focus on projects that were easy for people to follow, using materials that were affordable and accessible. I uploaded once or twice a week, sharing tutorials on everything from DIY home décor to handmade jewelry and paper crafts.

To my surprise, people loved my content! Slowly, my channel started to gain traction. I hit 1,000 subscribers within a few months, which meant I could apply for YouTube’s monetization program. The ad revenue trickled in, but it was small at first—maybe a couple of hundred dollars a month. Still, it was enough to keep me motivated.

As my channel grew, I realized there were more ways to monetize my content. I started adding affiliate links for crafting supplies in the video descriptions, earning a commission whenever someone made a purchase through my links. This extra income started to add up.

Soon, crafting companies began to take notice of my growing channel. They reached out to me for sponsorships and collaborations, offering me free products in exchange for reviews and tutorials, as well as paid partnerships. These sponsorships significantly boosted my income, and I started making a few thousand dollars a month.

But the real breakthrough came when I decided to create and sell my own digital products. I launched a series of downloadable craft templates and eBooks filled with DIY project ideas. My loyal audience, who had been following my channel for a while, was excited to support me and purchase these resources. The sales from my digital products pushed my monthly earnings to over $10,000.

Now, crafting has become not only my passion but also my career. I wake up every day excited to create, share, and inspire others to get crafty. What started as a fun hobby has turned into a thriving business, and I couldn’t be happier. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that doing what you love and sharing it with the world can lead to amazing opportunities—and, in my case, a very rewarding career!
