How to make $50k a year running a YouTube business

Video intent: to show users what they need to do, and how to do it, in order to make a living off of YouTube videos.

For me, YouTube only pays about $2.25 per 1,000 views (CPM). That's really low; you'd need about 22 million video views per year in order to make a living. That's why you need to do a lot of affiliate marketing if you want to make money.

Make fun of the video-channels that spam out repetitive, low-quality content just to get subscribers that don't matter.
