edit: this video shows you can make 30k a month with a channel of 250k subs on politics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg17rBDsWK8 Hi Guys, so I'm extremely interested in politics. And after reading 15 Books on it, having spent 1000 Bucks on opinion research, having done my own research on how people can be manipulated, having studied a bachelors degree in economics, having spent a decade on working out strategic plans on how to change things politically, I think I now have the best model to explain how the media and subsequently politics work and why the behave like they do. Which is not my accomplishment but basically synthesizing what the really great thinkers and masters on the topic have come up with into one model. But I don't really think this can be monetized? I mean in my home country Germany, there are some political bloggers with a lot of followers, but they don't seem to be super rich. The news is a public good. You just can have that online for free. But I guess no one is willing to pay for it? Or am I wrong?

Hi all, I'm thinking about starting a YouTube Channel on politics, but I'm wondering if I could live from it (which would be cool, as you can work from wherever :). Now I'm thinking what earnings per thousand viewers would be realistic? Here's an estimation I came up with: To begin with, we need to keep in mind a view is someone who watches at least 30 seconds. - Have the youtube videos also distributed to other platforms (twitter, insta, facebook, telegram, tiktok) to increase reach. - run Youtube Ads @ 1€ per thousand views - run sponsorship deals or affiliate marketing @ 5€ per thousand views - ask for donations in comments / description of video @ 5€ per thousand views - offer a "plus-membership" to people in the videos. This would be a community and bonus content. To boost signup rates, first month would be free and signing up free would unlock a lot of bonus content that is not necessarily limited to politics. To further boost signup rates, it could also contain other popular content like building muscle or losing weight or general wellbeing startegies. Not a full product but an "essential version" of it, so much more than a free video or article. From second month onward, minimum price would be 2€ per month (like new york times pricing model), but people could give more. Beyond 10€ per month, the membership would be more valuable (monthly stream with me, direct access to ask me questions, etc.). If 0.1% of viewers get the membership and stay for 10 months, and average monthly contribution is 4€ this yields 40€ per thousand views. Overall, to be conservative, I estimate around 10€ earnings per thousand views. Is this realistic? Or should the estimation be subscriber, not viewer based?

Hi, I want to ask a question for my first post so you can help me with content creation. Quantity or quality? Is it better to publish more videos but with lower quality? Or a lower frequency with a higher quality Lemme know :)
