@adamdelduca: This is my actual first channel timeline with nothing rounded up to make it look better Month 1 was 200 total views. Not 200 a day. Two hundred, across the entire month Month 4 I hit monetization. Month 6 the channel paid me 600 dollars Month 12 it was nearly matching what I made as a consultant. Month 18 I stopped checking my corporate bonus because it had stopped mattering I want you to look at the gap between month 1 and month 6 because that's where everybody quits Six months of effort for 600 dollars looks like failure if you're comparing it to a paycheck. As a CPA I can tell you it isn't failure, it's an asset in its build phase You don't judge an investment by the return in the first quarter. You judge it by what it becomes The curve is slow, and then it isn't That's not a motivational line, it's how the algorithm actually works. Your library compounds, your data improves, your titles get sharper, and the same effort starts producing very different results Most people never see month 12 because they judge the whole thing on month 2 If you're in the boring part right now, that's not evidence you picked wrong That's just what month 2 looks like for everybody...
