It took a lot of effort, but I am finally able to announce that my .NET developer YouTube channel reached 4000 hours of watch time within the last 365 days.
Meeting the requirements for joining the YouTube Partner Program is a massive milestone in any YouTuber's journey.
July 14th, 2020 marks the day where I am able to start showing ads in front, after and during my videos. Don't worry, I don't want to spam my viewers. For now, only pre-roll and post-roll ads are enabled on my videos.
According to my calculations, I'll start making a few bucks here and there, but I will not quit my day job anytime soon because of it.
I expect to make between 0.50$ and 1$ per day.
Make sure to follow the journey to see if my expectations turn out to be true. I'll definitely share my revenue stats once there is enough data.
