I've always wondered how much people make broadcasting on Youtube, could you possibly provide any insight into this (# videos you've posted, views stats, revenues, etc), or point me to anywhere one could read up on this?
I have some friends who are "professional YouTubers" (big enough to quit their day-jobs, not big enough to buy a Ferrari), who have told me they use that site for refernce. The estimate it gives has a pretty wide range, but it's typically in the middle of the two extremes. Just searched for one of my friends, and averaging the estimate gives just slightly more than what he's making in a month from YT.
Of course, it's all really variable and depends on the size of your channel. In January he had a video go viral and made as much as he did in all of 2015, but has since gone back to his more regular numbers (growing a little every month).
Take the estimates with a grain of salt, but they'll give you an idea of what's involved. I've seen some content creators laugh at the numbers that are predicted for them, and others have shown surprise at their accuracy. So again, it varies.
YT ad revenue is nothing compared from what you can milk while astroturfing.
