Real talk, how tall is YT money to have genz driving brand new lambos

You don't need 1 million followers breh.

You just need 1000 loyal subs who will consistently donate to you at a reasonable cost.

You can have 20k subs, if out of that 20k you have 1000 who are loyal and donating for let's say $5 a month that's $60k a year.

Hell even at just $1 a month it's $12k a year.

Yall cant get people to subscribe for free but you think you going to get people to pay? If it was that easy everyone would be doing it. The data is out there. less than 0.5% actually earn anything noteworthy anyway you slice it.

Creating and producing content isn't the point of discussion.

It was literally one of the points of my post that you quoted...

In 2025 there's no reason why you shouldn't have some sort of social media account specifically for content creation.

Y'all talk about everything all things here but won't try and monetize it.

You don't have to quit your job.

Y'all crash "podcasters" but they talk about everything y'all like to talk about with the bonus of getting paid to do so

So what are you talking about?

I just said that the end goal should be to get 1000 loyal subs who consistently donate to you.

Lets also not forget there's about 500 hours of content uploaded to youtube every hour. "Making it" on youtube is difficult. Especially for adults with actual jobs and responsibilities. Kids make it look easy because they don't have **** else to do.

The coli will never not be naive as fukk. YouTube is just like TV, meaning that most shyt on there is fake

Again people are creating content every single day.

All you need is a smartphone.

It's effortless.

There's nothing stopping you from talking about the things you do on the coli on a content creation platform in an attempt monetize it than for doing it for free all day every day all year on the coli.

I just said the end goal should be to get 1000 loyal subscribers to donate to you at a reasonable rate.

As if you don't partake in the conversations.

It's not me looking down on content creators or content creation. It's 2025

Kai is making half a million or more a month. Some interview dropped a while back and a clip went viral of him discussing twitch splits. He said some people get like 400k a month etc

couple of months kai hit 7 figures. like the time he had kevin hart on for 24 hours.....

People are genuinely sleeping on the money there is to be made from YouTube and twitch right now. Instagram and kick are different levels.

But it genuinely always blows my mind seeing how easily people dismiss shyt like this. People are saying these cars are leased without any knowledge of them already being previously rich as fukk off Vine alone.

It's an entirely different world if you're not used to it, which is shame. Because some people from here could easily profit off content. But instead will see someone like Ak do it and just hate for a decade lol.

New podcast coming with some coli people soon. Anyone interested just hit me up.

what do you think about tiktok in comparison to all the above?

 

[spacewraith]

Sponserships and ad revenue is no joke

 

[Rembrandt]

what do you think about tiktok in comparison to all the above?

Good for promotion and a pipeline to your other content where the split is higher. Tik-tok is definitely a necessity but not a money maker imo. Leverage it. Take those same shorts and bring them to YouTube.

The content creation platform is so intertwined now that it makes cross platform posting way easier than before.

But it would literally be the last site/app that I rely on. Vine was the warning.

If you're on tiktok, you better be on YouTube shorts or even Instagram for reels. Facebook I would avoid because they don't give a fukk about attribution and that's only going to get worse.

But at the end of the day, the safest bet still is to have your own website and learn how to funnel people there for whatever reason.

and that .5% dominates the content. So people don't realize the 99.5% that don't make money exist because you rarely see their content.

That shouldn't be a deterrent to some people here who have a solid enough fanbase to support their work.

It's such a low cost opportunity that I genuinely do not get the distain. 99.5% fail because literally everyone can do it. It's like every entertainment field - talent rises to the top, but unlike all of the other entertainment fields, there are no gatekeepers on the internet. It's the best example of "there's something out there for everyone"

Y'all posting insane shyt here all the time and still consistently get daps. If you get a lot and all the time. You might have something you could bring to YouTube or another social media platform.

Yall just old as fukk and have a disdain to anything new. nikkas acting like luddites even after seeing the success of so many black people thanks to this shyt. It's a new age

Some are really wealthy from YT, some are fronting.

There some content creators that I have never heard of but they have huge subscriber numbers.

It's amusing that, despite countless examples of social media success, people still act surprised—even though they already have the tools to get started.

Seen ALOT of subscriber counts seem to explode recently.. I think people are JUST catching on to yt wave and its still in its infancy , get in where you fit in forreal.

Nah that influencer wave is harder now than it was 10 years ago. Even 5 years ago they were eating GOOD. Too many got lazy during COVID because of how easy the money was and didn't hook themselves up with brand deals or white label any products to sell to their audience. Majority eating off AdSense but the social networks play around with the algorithm so it isn't as easy for your videos to be seen by random people.
But a lot of these influencers are renting these cars and houses. They always have to portray that luxury life because they will lose followers otherwise.
