Who is a full-time Youtuber?

[Scott_Plays]

Hey Guys!

I've been looking for a "real" job for the last month and it just got me wondering: Who here in the Freedom Network is a full-time Youtuber? Where the only income is from doing youtube videos. Or just most of the income.

Who is actually living off of Youtube?

Just was wondering

Cheers Guys!

I'm not sure if you could consider yourself full-time if you don't care for income. Going full-time means you plan to live solely off of the funds generated through your YouTube channel.

I Really Don't Care About The $$

I Really Do Care About The $$

Me too. But I really don't want to be full-time. My problem is, if it's full-time it's my job. I wouldn't have a yang to balance it out. If I work a job two times a week, I'd still have time to edit and all, whilst in my head it's still a hobby. Not an obligation. That way my job as a waiter or the newspaper delivery guy is my ying and Youtube being my hobby would be my yang.

Does any of this make sense to anyone else than me?

It will be once I start getting at least 2 million views a month XD Either that or a ridiculously fantastic sponsorship deal lol

Since I work for Freedom! and it's a YouTube network, and my channel is starting to do a lot better to justify dedicating more time to it. I guess I technically do XD

not sure if freedom has big channels that do YT fulltime

 

[Kratos Aurion]

I'd say full time in the sense that I upload at least 1 video every day sometimes 2. But do I do it for a living? Nope not even close. Maybe if my channel magically becomes 100 times bigger over night that will change but that is not going to happen

not sure if freedom has big channels that do YT fulltime

Naturally with over 130,000 channels there are plenty of people capable of doing it full time: http://socialblade.com/youtube/network/freedom/topusers/mostsubscribed

I do get some of my money off youtube, but I do not do it full-time.

 

[William Chamberlain]

I have done in the past! Doing YouTube related work that is, not anymore. And I have never done it from the content creator side of things.

I Was Trying To Say Before Spell Check Killed It Is "I Don't Care About The $$"

Ahh. Ok well that's cool to.

But I meant it the way I said it. Not in a evil corporate way. The fun in creating content is still more important to me. But I feel like I would lie if I didn't say I like the money. But thats a personal thing. It always bothers me when some big Youtuber comes and says he/she doesn't care about the money... No offense. I think it's great that you say that!

I'm not quite there, though I'm gaining quickly. July was $96, August will be about $$250, and September so far is looking even better. I figure if this growth continues, I'll be making about $500+ a month by the end of the year.
