YouTube Stats

As of December 5, 2023, the RIBs ONLY channel has a tally of 701 subscribers and have published 29 videos so far.

Having 1,000 YouTube subscribers means unlocking the ability to finally create video chapters and thus improving the user experience. But we’re not there yet…

Especially for the most recent video published today.

A Possibility of Making Money?

Monetization prospects for the YouTube channel are extremely limited, commencing only after reaching 1,000 subscribers. I’ll explain below why I won’t be able to buy a bigger RIB.

This is the formula to know how much a channel can earn on a monthly basis.

Views per month, divided by 1,000 and then multiplied by the RPM (Revenue Per Mille).

If the channel has 1,000 subscribers ánd yearly 4,000 views that’s when you count. In 2023 the channel got 4,724 views so far. The conditions are met so we’re good (but no ads in the videos, so this is hypothetical).

But … this year (2023 so far) the average is 393 monthly views. With an assumed RPM of €2 the formula returns € 0.78 earnings per month.

The yearly income based on november (before taxes) is € 9.43 which is the equivalent to the cost of 1 pancake where I reside.
