Here’s How Much Money We Earned From 1.3 Million YouTube Views
It’s less than you think (and took a lot longer than we expected)
Don’t start a YouTube channel if your only goal is to make money.
It’s not worth it.

In this article, I’m going to share how much ad revenue we’ve earned in the past two years from our YouTube channel — Days We Spend — and what monetizing a YouTube channel actually looks like so you can decide if starting a YouTube channel is the right move for you.
