naw , just 50 % of them or so , so its cool . <| sep |> Definitely don ' t . If you are EXTREMELY lucky and your channel grows vastly faster than the vast majority of channels and you ' ve already indicated that you ' ve previously not had much luck with growth , then you might have minimum wage income from your channel in the next year . And that would be a highly unlikely bestcase scenario . I only went fulltime YouTube when it was already earning enough I could live on it . Before then , it had to be a hobby for years , even as it started to gain significant traction I had fivefigure subs before I even started thinking about it being a job . I cannot urge you more strongly to focus overwhelmingly on a more secure source of income first as an absolute priority .
