Honestly, it sounds like she’s overdoing it on the production quality of her videos if it’s costing her $3500 per 20 minute video. It’s just YouTube.

She also says her best video got like 350,000 views, I’ve seen crappy reaction videos that get more than that. And Google takes 2/3 of the ad revenue for everything she makes.

Typical foodie blog with having to read about her life story before getting to the actual recipe!

$3500 per episode sounds like she was going a bit overboard & could easily refactor her costs without sacrificing quality

Jeez, I still remember when the production cost of videos was “I bought this camcorder a while back, so I guess, I might as well use it”.

very cool, thanks for posting. what’s laid bare here is the scam where if you keep at it, you’ll eventually get there - look at the joe rogans and the linusestechtipses, they kept at it and look at them now! the burried lede being that it’s virtually impossible to penetrate that level and at the same time being under google’s thumb, microdosing your cut and evermore shrinking the crumbs that get to you.

the issue with overpaying for production someone raised is valid, but even with reducing it to like a 10th of what she’s paying, it’s still nowhere close to “making it” in terms of sole income of a single woman with kids and whatnot. be that as it may, the script folder and the food beautifier and the scalper for this and that have to go, like yesterday, and them kids are now promoted to iphone recorders co-directors of photography immediately.
