A straight-to-the-point one minute rant about the economics of YouTube or in other words, how YouTubers (vloggers but other YouTubers as well) make money.

You might think that making money on YouTube is a piece of cake and it is... but not really :)

What I'm trying to say is that sure, activating monetization and starting to make money on YouTube is easy enough but making enough money as a YouTuber/vlogger to sustain your channel... that's an entirely different dimension.

Making money on YouTube is a lot more complex than most people realize and as such, being a YouTuber/vlogger and not starving tends to be quite a challenge.
