I am working with YouTube + Adsense since 2009. First I started with a whitehat channel as a musician. With my first music video I got about 300 new subs every month. I did it several years, but my expenses (camera, licenses) were always higher. It was okay because I did not need the money. It was just for fun but when I finished school and left my parents home I had to work, pay my rent and so on. That was the shittiest time oft my life but I learnd what I dont want: A 9 to 5 job where I earn nothing and my boss rubs his hands. It was a depressing situation.
Meanwhile, I sold my music on Amazon, iTunes, Playstore and so on but I earned too little. I descided to try to make money with blackhat methods.
I have worked for years with YouTube that I knew what to do. In the first month I earned about 300$. After that I was addicted.
In the following two years I earned about 40.000$. I had 3 crashes in that time where I had to start from zero. But I never gave up. When I had free time I decided to teach some of my friend how to make money with YouTube. I was able to make them an income of ~2.000$ within 30 days. The only condition was that they give me 30% of their income. At this time I had 3 own Adsense accounts and managed about 9 Adsense accounts of my friends. When I bot banned with one account I never had a total crash. It was a "safe" business for me and I made a lot oft money.
For this money I bought me and my girlfriend a house and began to start business economy. Because I did not want to be dependent solely from YouTube + Adsense, I began to search for a new idea to make money (whitehat). I began to publish books for Kindle. I invest a lot of my Adsense money tod outsource the writing of the books. Then I bought an expensive camera and hired a person who reads my books in front of this camera. With the recordings I created audiobooks and monetized the videos on YouTube. My next step is to create websites for all of my books to sell other products. I also think about to teach other authors and sell their books. The more successful my authors are the more money I earn.
WHAT I WANT TO SAY WITH MY JOURNEY IS:
I love the community but there are many unsuccessful dumbheads who prey every newbie to start with a whitehat business. NO! To be successfull with a whitehat business you first need money, money, money. Without any investments you need years to be successfull. Make fast money, make your experience (with YT, Amazon and other platforms), fulfill your dreams - Then you are able to descide which platform/method/business is the best for you.
Good luck!!!
