Imagine Youtube without School/work

So here are some experiences from people who left their jobs or finished school just to do YouTube as full time job (and mine experience with it because it is mine part time job but some days looks like full time job)

1) left company after about 200k subs, get good money from YouTube (AdSense or MCN), wage is just fine but still need sponsors and donations and can survive a year
2) same as first part but they mostly got money from donations and sponsorship deals, but still have to do something in part time to get enough wage to survive a year
3) left company, Youtube isn't going well, wage is super low and they need to get on old job or search for new one
4) and finally mine experience with full time @ YouTube - it is possible but, I still have part time jobs, students jobs & college so most of the time YouTube is mine part time job #reality

Just had a look at your channel and you have a few hundred subs. I'm guessing you had another one before this because its not possible to make good money from a channel that size. Those examples you mentioned, are they after let's say a 5 year period? Because I imagine their channels would grow all the time and their wages would slightly increase after time.[DOUBLEPOST=1471643407,1471643353][/DOUBLEPOST]

Hazzy hey dude!

I can't imagine the possibilities of what could happen if I was doing YouTube full time. A job I would actually love to have, spending time doing what I want to be doing all day everyday.

Trying my utmost to make it a reality at the moment!

Hey, dreaming when you're awake is the best motivation! It helps you remember what you could one day become if you chased that dream. That is of course, if it's something legal :)

Oh and I feel like there are a lot more people out there living the YT life than we think!
 
Dude, I'd be on it all the time. I'd be cranking out VGM episodes left and right. Probably the one thing that does keep me from being a Youtube Addict are all my adult responsibilities.

I was thinking about this the other day, how would your channels be if we could work on them all day? Most of us spend 8+ hours at work or school which for me limits the amount of videos I can make. I think we could all have much more success without this hurdle in the way. Time to all quit our jobs and get on the youtube grind I guess lol

I actually kinda fell in this position as from March because I fell inbetween study's and life stuff. Because I also had allot of feelings to work trough it made me very hesitant to make video's. I just cannot do it when I'm not feeling happy. But once I start it makes me happy so I get on a roll but if something would come up it would also block me and have me start all over again.

So I think it really depends on the situation if you do this without any reallife stress it would be very cool but if you have worries next to yt if you lost your job or anything it just isn't as easy as it seems. And those emotions will affect you.

But on a happy note if you had the oppertunity to happily live of your yt channel and could spend all your time on your video's I think you can bring allot more nice curated content!
 
I post 2 videos a week on a monday and a friday at 5pm GMT. Mondays video is filmed on the sunday, edited and uploaded. Fridays video is filmed on a thursday, and edited on my day off on the friday and uploaded for 5pm. Its hard going trying to fit it all in with a full time job, but I refuse to let my day job dictate what I want to do. So, I will keep grinding and doing what I love. If I did this full time It would be awesome. Just have to believe in yourself.
 
Being able to do YouTube all day every day would be awesome, but I think I would worry that I'd burn out after spending too much time on videos.
Being able to travel to places and spend an entire day filming there (I'm also assuming that I don't have a chronic illness in this hypothetical scenario) would be very useful, especially for my science channel. And I think having more time to spend on them would make my videos better in general.
Maybe one day...
 
It might not make and sense but if I didn't have a job, I'd have no free time to make videos at all. So yes hope I work 7 days a week for more video making time
