I've managed to earn $100,000 thanks to YouTube in two years. It all came from a channel where I record documentary-style videos. I'm 25 years old.
80% of my income has come from AdSense and 20% from sponsors.
For some, that might not be much, but where I live (Portugal), it's double my salary as a worker.
I've already experienced the risks of relying on YouTube when I received two strikes and nearly lost my account.
After reading MJ DeMarco's book, I realized that my business also has few barriers to entry (it's a faceless channel).
I've tried to prevent risks by creating an email list. I sell products as an affiliate in my niche. But I create entertainment content. Sales are low considering I get millions of views.
Also, I thought I could get rich as an affiliate if I hit the right note. But MJ's words about affiliates have been a good dose of reality.
I'm researching potential internet problems every day to create a new business that follows MJ DeMarco's 5 principles.
However, there's still a voice inside me that tells me I can become rich by improving by combining YouTube and affiliates.
Thinking about creating new businesses takes my focus off YouTube.
I'd like to know what you think about YouTubers and affiliate marketing on the forum.
What if I can scale this to €100,000 a year and then sell it to make money and move to a new project?
I have no experience selling YouTube channels. I know it's done, but at a low multiple due to the risks associated with AdSense.
