It does not matter how many obstacles or how many things hold you down, the only way you wil ever be able to make progress is....to simply make progress. Any progress is progress none-the-less. I am just starting my Youtube channel up with my lifelong friend Adrean. I had a Youtube channel about 5 years ago but that was a joke to me at the time and all I wanted to do is make quickscoping montages.
Now that I am older and way more mature than I was at the time I have a different view; positive perspectives. People make money now-a-days doing anything. So people saying to not get into Youtube for the money are too broad in their message. I say if you want to do Youtube for a living...it is possible. But in order to do YT for a living you need to be making money to simply pay the rent, gas, electricity, etc. because you would not be going work from 9-5. So money is a necessity if full time YT is your goal. Think about it. You see these famous YTers making millions but what about those who are not making millions? We only hear about the YTers that are internet famous and that is the bar that has been put on everyone.
The way I see it is yes that can one day be a possibility. But I would like to think that right now I am making a little more than minimum wage in California and if could somehow make as "little" money on YT as I do on my day job, I would be more than happy. Then from that you can learn to better your tactics and invest even more in your YT (small business). So from that point on whatever happens is in your hands to make.
I am pretty sure that this, my example, is not at a subscriber base of 10 million, or 1 million, or 500,000. I have done research on this topic and depending on subscriber and channel engagement, freaking 50k subs with good active views can bring in adequate income. I do not view this as conformity, but as one who has been at the bottom from birth and is slowly climbing up, to me these numbers that to others may be nothing, have tons of value.
Use the words of the infamous "Rick Roll" to keep you motivated everyday. So long as you say those words to your future and even YT channel, there is no way one cannot succeed.
