I tried YouTube for over a year before earning anything. My early videos barely crossed 100 views, and I often wondered whether anyone would ever watch them. Eventually one video started gaining traction, and that helped me qualify for monetization. My first payment wasn't huge, but it represented hundreds of hours of learning and improving.

I made my first online income by teaching math lessons over Zoom. At first, I only had one student each weekend. Gradually, word spread, and more parents contacted me. That first payment reminded me that knowledge can become income if you're willing to share it with others.
