How does somebody have a YouTube channel with ~460K subscribers

Maybe he likes working?

I have a channel with 200,000 subscribers and I make approx 2 to 3k£ a month which is alright but its not wealthy by any means

my only source of income is monetizing vids I dont sell tshirts or anything

checked out this guys channel and he gets approx the same views as me.. so he will make approx 80$ a day or something

so yeah if he can work fulltime on top of that then he will make some decent money

People probably ask you these questions all the time but I'm gonna anyway.

>How did you build your subscriber base? Do you use any other social networking?
>How many hours a week do you spend actually producing content (both shooting and editing)?
>Do you backlog videos, or are you pumping out so much content that you don't have the time to?
>Did you start off with a specific intention to make money around a certain subject matter or did that evolve over time as you saw what the audiences like?
>Average length of your video?

This is the most gullible board I've ever seen.

Are you a personality or are you just uploading content you make?

>Thinks people aren't making money on YT.

Are you retarded?

This, the top dogs are millionaires.

Dude what cam and mic do you use? I'm extremely bitter and have loads of free time so I thought about doing one about things I hate. I mean what's cheap and good? How do you monetize YouTube anyway? Their ads seem piss poor and I can't imagine anyone donates money on patron or whatever

Different anon, I'm starting off so I can't say much but basically my Blue Yeti mic is decent quality, but if you're trying to become a voice actor or singer then it probably isn't going to cut it. I don't have a camera yet either so I'm still looking.

Basically monitize any way you can with popularity. Put on ads. Start a Patreon; if you're likeable enough somep people will donate, but obviously likeabiloty is going to depend on your demographic. If you become recognizable enough, sell t shirts and other merchandise. Collab with other channels to get more viewers. Do some sponsored content if you want, I remember a while ago every YouTuber had a deal with Audible at the beginning or end of their video where you put in a code specific to the YouTuber to get a discount. They probably got money just for mentioning the service on their video plus whatever commission they get from the sales with their codes.

I'm sure there's more stuff, just look for some good guides online out there.

Also, the Blue Snowball is cheaper but some YouTubers use it.

Are you doing personality shit or are you producing content some other way?

Haven't started on videos yet. I'm thinking of following YouTube drama and just parodying whatever side looks more retarded to me. The key, I'm thinking, is to make it relevant to what's trendy on YouTube at the moment. There was this one guy who was perfect to parody but I think I missed the window because no one really cares anymore. I'm talking about that anime guy who took his shirt off and got really butthurt at one of Filthy Frank's videos. I'm just going to keep watching and see if there's a trend I can latch onto and make a video about.

Hey, quick question about YouTube actually. If I use a 5 second clip of SpongeBob and monetize the video, will they take it down? That's not going to be the whole video, of course.
