I became a full-time YouTuber.

Its always crazy to me to see others people cost of living lol. I am also a father of two young girls. But my housing cost is around $800 and I l live in a 5 bedroom house. Thats counting all bills. Could be why we see a difference in what it takes to consider it making it.

THIS.

I look at things from a perspective of loosing around $1,000 a month in housing (you should be able to get a small apartment for that, and maybe even some if not all utilities). And then another $1,000 to live life. My situation is Father of 2 kids, husband, house and cars. If I would look at it from my perspective the kid is 100% dreaming. But even from a solo point of view you can not make it. The fact he has remained quiet on the subject is probably very simple. He got called out, and doesn't have a response. He got owned. You don't stay away from a thread you created to bask in your own glory. Unless someone rightly calls you out on your BS.

People often think I am not a nice person. Nothing could be further from the truth. What I am is a realist. And many people don't know how to handle a realist.

Where do you live? 5 bedroom house for $800 a month including utilities? Nope, not here in the Texas suburbs!

I live in the Nebraska pan handle. Im about 2 hours from Denver Colorado. Our minimum wage here is $11 very easy for a family to make it out here.

Doubt being what stops most people in the world.

Indeed and thanks for reminding us Awesome to hear that you become a full-time youtuber I think a lot of us on this forum only dare to dream about this. Big congrats dude what is your VERY BEST tip for all of us hoping to make it this big some day?

Congrats on the success, I bookmarked your channel after the previous post and check in on it from time to time. I seems like you really hit on something with the hardest decisions in Skyrim series. At least unlike a lot of other YouTubers you actually realized that and kept doing similar videos, that's a key difference that could make you very successful.

As far as the people guessing if he is really full time... I mean not from ad revenue alone obviously but his ad rates are probably much higher than mine and I'm sure he's getting decent money from streaming. He also seems to have some sponsors which is $5 per month and has an affiliate link. Yeah the ups and downs are very real, but who knows at least he is doing the smart thing and going for multiple revenue streams.

Do you have anything better to do then put people down. I stream full time and rely from that alongside the ad revenue I do get. I don't have a 1,000 euro house to pay for or kids to look after or anything that big. Have small place living it small and enough money to keep me going. When I said I was leaving to try this you put that down to even though I said I live well off. I don't think you are a mean guy but putting people down and insulting me isn't doing anybody anything. But listen, I take it with a grain of salt man, you do you, would appreciate not being called a liar.[DOUBLEPOST=1527884769,1527884537][/DOUBLEPOST]

From my own personal experience streaming on youtube with a 140 subs and a average of 9 viewers per stream i was pulling in around $100 in donations a month sometimes more depending. My current mic, audio mixer, and webcam were all from donations. i have a friend who streams on twitch with 1600 followers and he pulls about $250 a month in donations / monthly subscribers. Alot of streamers do go full time off of his numbers. Not saying he is rich but saying he is prob making it. Expecially depending on his current living position. He may have several roommates to split the bills with. He may not have a car payment. He may live with family for free and has no bills so even making $500 a month is making it for him.

He doesn't seem to realize this at all for some reason that not everybody is living in $1,000 houses but since we aren't like him, hate has to come with his words.[DOUBLEPOST=1527884816][/DOUBLEPOST]

Congrats - I can see you have had a good week in views/new subs. I wouldnt buy that Lambo yet though. Fingers crossed the higher views keep up for you.

Can I ask what your earning are until now? $100 a month? I assume you dont have any bills to pay for?

I am a full-time streamer with sponsorhips and donations alongside ad revenue so thats how I make a living enough to pay my bills every month![DOUBLEPOST=1527884936][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh yeah, but those are all unknowns. I deal with what I can see. And what I can see is a lying sack. I’ve been on 300 viewer twitch streams and didn’t see anyone donating. So there you go. I call it as I see it.

Seriously mate I can't get over how insulting you had to be here without taking the fact I am living cheap rent in a cheap place. Learn how to speak to people "grasshopper".

Well your stats don't look too impressive. But if you can live off that the good for you. For most people your amount of views would not be enough to really live from.

For most streamers with his numbers it’s pretty common to live off of. Yes he is in YouTube but he is a streamer. Gotta look at his case as if he was on twitch. His income is coming from donations. But he has the second stream of income just from his views. So he has essentially two separate incomes. You guys are seeing one income and saying it’s not enough but not counting his other income.

I don't see how they are missing that obvious point.
