Can I Monetize YouTube in 1 Year as a SAHM? | Starting From Scratch in 2026

Can I actually monetize YouTube in ONE YEAR as a stay-at-home mom? 👀 Well… I’m about to find out. I’m an elementary reading specialist turned stay-at-home mom of 3, and over the past year I’ve been figuring out how to build something of my own through content creation. It started with Amazon Influencer, then UGC, Instagram, TikTok… and now I’m taking on my biggest challenge yet: YouTube. I’m giving myself ONE YEAR to see if I can grow this channel and reach monetization — while being a SAHM and raising my three little ones. In this video, I’m sharing my background, how I got started with content creation, why I decided to start YouTube, where I’m starting from, and what I’m hoping to accomplish over the next year. I’m not a YouTube expert. I’m starting this journey and figuring it out as I go. So this is officially DAY ONE. ❤️ I’ll be documenting the wins, the mistakes, the things I learn, the numbers, and hopefully eventually… the moment I can say I actually monetized.
