I'm my case I don't do scripts. But another Youtuber in the engineering space who does revealed that it takes about 30 hours of work to create one polished scripted 5 minute tutorial video.
I estimate it would be in the order of $5-10M (yes, million) at least.
That's not a stretch either I don't think. Say I have influenced 10,000 scope purchases over the last 7 years at $500ea average, there is $5M right there just in scopes.
What's your profit margin on the BM257? And how many have you sold so far? ~$25 per meter at about 1000 sold?
Internet access is another $9k a year.

I wasn't expecting this number with the way you operate. YouTube hosts the videos, you have merchandise on other sites like Amazon, the blog. I hope that's not a basic business class Internet price!

If you think that is expensive come to South Africa, where the most common form of internet access is via a mobile phone. Long way down is ADSL, then a lot further is fibre, and there is no cable here at all.
Australia was going to have a fibre to the premises network to 93% of the population, but the conservatives won power in 2013, tanked the rollout (which was actually finally starting to ramp up), pissed about buying Telstra's last mile copper phone network and HFC for almost 3 years and then 12 months ago started rolling out last decades FTTN technology.
Bloody joke!
Having said that, the NBN just rolled out fibre to the door of my lab and office, I should be able to connect NBN to both spaces in the next few months.
Something happened recently that changed rollout from many years away to happening without notice.
I should be able to get a 100M/100M unlimited data plan for about $100/month at both spaces. But I just joined a 12 month plan at the new office
Dam you're lucky, I have to wait till 2019 according to their website and if I'm lucky I'll get FTTdp (nbn tools are calling it fibre to the curb) as the Optus HFC (as told by anyone that had any Telco industry experience) in our area is end of life.
We can't even get Optus HFC anyway as our part of the suburb is a decade newer and has underground power and PSTN and was ignored by Optus and their aerial rollout.
My lab building already had THREE fibres coming into it, couldn't use any of them unless I wanted to pay $1000+/month for 10M/10M, had to get my own fibre installed.
NBN will make 5 fibres from 5 service providers

Somewhere I can hear Sir Humphrey saying "Minister, it takes time to do things quickly." Surely he also said "Minister, it costs money to do things cheaply".
I spent a few years working as a business customer delivery manager and data centre manager for an ISP, now part of the TPG group, and I was pretty disgusted with the libs playing politics with the most important national infrastructure of the 21st century. It makes my blood boil after seeing the lengths and expense business have to go to to get decent reliable internet and wan network connectivity.

My business park (Norwest) is one of the biggest and important ones in Sydney, and before I had my own fibre installed into the lab building there wasn't a single option in the business park under $800/month for 10M/10M (Wireless via BigAir). Insane.
The NBN should have been rolled out into business parks first, but there was no votes in that.

It is. Welcome to Australia.
I am in NZ and thanks to our national fibre rollout, I now have 1000Mb down and 500Mb up. Unlimited data, static ip. All for $100/m. No complaints!
