--- Quote from: IanB on February 08, 2024, 01:34:59 am ---Therefore I think being a YouTube content creator is best treated as a side hustle rather than a main job. --- End quote --- Not to mention that YouTube can demonetize a channel, or delete a channel at any time, and if it happens there is very little anyone can do about it. --- Quote from: EEVblog on February 08, 2024, 03:46:50 am ---I calculated that I got 0.000199261% of that --- End quote --- This is why any individual is more or less meaningless in the context of YouTube's overall business. If they happen to shut down a channel by mistake, it is no loss to them as long as they are keeping advertisers happy. |

Sure it's always wise not to rely fully on a single platform and have other sources of income, but indeed thousands of people worldwide (maybe that's even millions now) are making it a full-time job. I find it odd that some would seem not to even realize that in 2024. Actually, many have found their way to entrepreneurship this way. I think this is a good thing. Like everything else, don't rest on your laurels though, because that is a sure way of eventually failing. And that's true whether you are full-time "Youtuber" or a full-time anything else. |

l'd venture to say that the full time youtuber making a living solely on the platform's adsense is a rarity when compared to the whole crowd. The vast majority that I see have other revenue streams such as promotion partnerships, merch, exclusive content via Patreon, promotion of products, etc. The path to success is littered with the corpses of channels that succumbed to such moving target of rules and regulations of the platform. |

Forgot that I did a video explaining how I lost around $400k by renting instead of buying. |

Her new workshop looks great: Unforutnately it's just another rental. |
