This is a video from the C plus weekly YouTube channel, hosted by Jason Turner. In the video, Jason celebrates reaching over 100,000 subscribers on his channel and discusses the financial aspects of his channel.
Jason uses Compiler Explorer as a tool for compiling and executing code across various languages. He also shares the growth of his channel, discussing how he reached over 100,000 subscribers and how long it will take him to reach 1 million subscribers.
Jason provides a detailed breakdown of his channel's revenue, which includes direct revenue from YouTube ads, sponsorship revenue, Amazon affiliate revenue, and Patreon support. He also discusses indirect revenue from book sales, training, and contracting.
He shares that his YouTube ad revenue is approximately $191 per month, sponsorship revenue is around $75 per month, and Amazon affiliate revenue is about $10 per month. Combining these, he makes about $285 per month directly from YouTube. He also has Patreon support, which he estimates brings in enough to pay for health insurance for his family.
Jason emphasizes that his book sales, training, and contracting revenue are the main sources of his livelihood. He also mentions that most YouTubers make money from the side things they do, rather than just from YouTube. He shares that his channel has stayed relatively flat because it operates in a niche field, which limits its growth.
Finally, Jason suggests that to make more money, he would have to use more clickbait in his titles to attract more views. He concludes by mentioning that it took him 90 months to reach 100,000 subscribers, emphasizing that building a successful YouTube channel is not a quick process.
