what type of content you plan to create?

No experience, but as far as I know, professional YouTubers tend to have a team to support them.

When time is ripe, you will need to get an assistant or two.

I started mine around 2021 and burnt myself out in a year and stopped, crawling my way back to being absolute bottom office drone

My channel finally gathered 1k subs a few days ago, and still not earned a single cent

I make longplay of classic/retro games. The very long story short is, I have to pour in at least 6 hours for every hour of content you can see in my channel if people can find it. The content is certainly niche, but not one that gains exposure and views easily so I felt all the effort I poured in was ultimately pointless.

Was already a jobless loser for too long so decided enough is enough

It might be a challenge to edit with that specs.

But depends on what type of content you’re publishing.

Youtube shorts pays about 0.04-0.08 cents/1000 views

Long form at 2-7dolllars per thousand depending on where your audience is at and niche.

And not only that, google cuts 30% of your earnings as required by the IRS if your audience is mostly from US.

Onlyfans better

I am also thinking of starting some kind of youtube channel to talk about 3 things

1. Politics (general world politics i.e Radical left vs Conservative) and also maybe touch on Malaysia politics

2. Money and investing

3. Cars (hobby of mine)

However, i am still contemplating on wanting to show my face or not. I guess will have a test video to see if it works or not.

Already in the YPP. Adsense cannot be relied as your main source of income unfortunately. Brand deals and sponsorship on the other hand are worth way more

Great minds think alike, I am also thinking about starting my own YouTube channel, but still figuring out what type of content I want to churn out. will be following this thread.

Also i don't think you need assistants once you make it big, a good example is Casey Neistat he does all the videos himself and he has 12.6 million subs.

If you haven't watched it, check it out...it very inspirational.

I have played with youtube in the past casually, made roughly 25 videos related to ... well ....... Conjectured theories, experiment just for fun I did not invest in too much effort on everything, I do learn storyboarding, planning , video editing, voice recording, and also tried my hands on own baked art.

Needless to say the venture failed. Learn from those mistake but had never reignite the effort to rebuild the channel again.

Truth is youtube is pretty much a discipline game, you do something you like or do not like you'll have to follow a few strict rules in order to see minor success, its never really what you like but what your audience like.

Visually not pleasing? Fail.

Don't sound pleasant with speech? Fail.

Content not interesting enough? Fail.

Content too boring? Fail.

Most of the time if you plan on just honest talk as you go your video will stray, and with youtube policy being very different from the past if you ever want to see a dime down your leather duster you will have to treat it like a business rather then personal project.

I might consider revamping the old channel with new gain knowledge and work experience trough out the years but the old style definitely had to go.

My initial intention of the channel was sort of trying to make my own drawings to illustrate while sharing free ideas from a different perspective on world views as well as mud puddling missing puzzle to get people thinking and exploring different possibilities. In short my channel kind of like mike chen or mr.gao but not in real person, instead with my own art ( most likely a mistake as I have no drawing skill).

If I do revamp the channel I will most likely sweep all the old content under private or delete them.

Not easy to build a channel, especially if you genuinely trying to build a channel rather then using scam tactic to build just for the money.

Much easier way is to gather a few others that is interested under the same topic or hire a small group of professionals to help build the channel, which of course will cost a small fortune to setup.

For anyone curious, the channel is identical to my lowyat account. But be warn as it would be like visiting for prison food, keep your expectation low if you could help it.
