once you get going, its WAY easier than this to earn money in real life. get some sponsors to advertise in your videos and merchandise. the sponsor alone will gave you hundreds to thousands per video depending on how well you advertise them and how many views you usually get. fans on the other hand will buy tons of your stuff making merchandise very valuable too. only youtubers that dont know what their doing just use pure ad money (that makes up like a few percent of a smart youtubers income) and what youtube gives you for however many views your videos get (also only a few precent of a smart youtubers income) make this kind of crappy money. why does no one know this? not even most top youtubers (1000000+ subscribers)? in fact for this reason, demonetization doesnt matter as that only effects the income youtube and ads give you which is almost nothing compared to your total income as i explained earlier. so put whatever you want in your videos. stop worrying about demonetization if your actually smart in how you make money off youtube.
