Which You tubers (if any) do you follow?

Question about these Youtubers..... Do they all make a living out of doing these clips or do most have normal day jobs jobs to finance the ' so called lifestyle ' and if so, how is it actually financed ??

It's down to how many views they get for the advertisements shown. I know a pro golfer whose channel has over 200k subs, it's his full time job and he employs people to make his videos. So there's decent wedge to be made.

They get money for views, but the big money is from sponsorships or giving awareness to their other revenue streams like apps or their own shops etc.

There's lots of money in it but for every successful channel there's probably 100 who tried similar and failed.

It's also very dependent on quantity. If you can just churn out endless shit daily and it gets views great. If you spend months making 1 vid and it only does OK you won't make a living.

"it depends" is the answer to this question.

Once you get to around 50k subscribers you can start to get sponsorship deals and the Google ad revenue starts mounting up too, so many of them at that kind of level, it's at least a part time job. Plus there's things like individual brand endorsements, referral links and merch sales etc. All these revenue streams add up. It's a bit like being in a band - you can't just rely on selling records.

It also depends on your niche. Ad revenue for higher value niches is a lot higher. I know a couple of people in the YouTube outdoors and cycling niche and because in general that audience is a fairly well off one, advertisers spend more money, so it's easier to carve out a job from being a content creator in that sector.

I imagine to get the same revenue in the teenage makeup space you'd need to get a ton more views.

Dont follow any in particular but I restore 1950's/1960's engines, outboards, stationary etc. I dont go in for all the Yanky high fiving and chest pumping but by fuck the English equivalant in general would send you to sleep, there are the exceptions.

If you have 100k+ subscribers you’ll make enough to make it your full time job, I know off a boy who plays games like COD etc has 1.7m subscribers drivers about in a Lamborghini and a brand new Range Rover SVR, not bad for some

Numbers vary wildly but a 100k youtuber can comfortably earn £10,000 a month with the right view count and sponsorship.

I noticed Colin Furze has 12.8 million subscribers, plus he's always pushing stuff.

Fair play to him.
