How Youtuber with 2 Million Subscribers Went BROKE
and how a 200k channel is making more than him.
“Hey, You haven't paid last month's Invoice,” I asked.
“I am BROKE” my (2 million subscribers) client replied.
“WTF, How?” was my reaction.
In 2022, I was working with one of my clients on his YouTube video thumbnails.
I sent him the invoice for the thumbnails of the month. (as I used to send every month)
That’s when he replied that he was broke right now.
He explains that he only makes money through YouTube ads and some sponsors.
Most of his money goes into producing the videos. (he was quite regular with his videos)
And because he recently paid his taxes—he is now leaving on his credit card debts.
“Wow!” – was my reaction.
A person with 2 million subscribers can go broke too.
The next month he receive his YouTube Adsense revenue.
Everything comes back to normal again.
Life goes on and I forgot about this matter until I got to know about a YouTube channel called AEVY TV.
At that time, AEVY TV was at 250k subscribers and recently has made $130k selling cohorts.
“From one cohort alone?” – I asked in my mind.
As of now, This channel has done a total of 4 cohorts — You can guess the numbers.
And making more money than my 2 million subscriber client.
Isn't it something amazing?
A guy with 2 million subscribers is BROKE.
And at the same time, a channel with 250k subscribers is making bank out of their YouTube channel.
When I knew about it, I learned how these guys are making this much money.
I started to work with more clients like these, instead of just working with Big Broke YouTubers who depend on YouTube Ads Revenue alone.
I learned about how these small YouTubers are making $10k per month, some of them even $100k with a small audience of just 10k to 50k subscribers.
Do you know what is the difference between a 2 million subscribers BROKE YouTuber and a channel who are making $10k or even $100k per month with a small subscriber base?
The guy who is making $10k or even $100k from his YouTube channel, they treats their YouTube channel as a Business.
They don't create videos so that they get views – They create videos to sell them something.
They have a business behind their YouTube channel.
So every view they get, they know how to convert them and make the most money out of it.
In the next Newsletter,
I will be sharing how these small YouTubers turn their Views into Cash – while other YouTubers are going broke.
P.S: If you are a Service Provider or an Agency Owner.
I am writing an E-book on how to create YouTube videos that bring clients to you on autopilot.
So if this is something that sounds interesting to you, reply with "clients" and you'll be the first to know when it's finished.
Talk soon,
