    Small correction RUclips takes 45% of ad revenue but on other things like memberships/superchats etc it’s 30%. Good luck on this endeavor!

    Always great to see your process detailed so clearly. A lot of what you described is similar to how I've been trying to operate as a creator who is also full time in another career doing content part time (albeit you're operating at a larger scale)
    One area I'd love more detail in: how you process your payment for different team members working on content for your channel. You mention revenue share, how do you process/determine this value? For example, if you have 1 editor operating on a channel with revenue share, you give them x percent of the channels revenue per month. If multiple editors contribut different content for 1 channel, do you calculate the revenue per piece of content they produced? How do you streamline this and process payments? Understanding this can make it much easier to scale.
    Thanks for all the insights over the years.

      Hey man, got to know Devin because of you. Thanks for that! Big fan of your content.
      Getting back to the topic, I think rev share works best when everybody works towards the same company goals, like a bônus 2 times a year for example. I would set a goal for the semester, some people have a bigger cut than others depending on the function and contract. If the goal is met, then you pay this bônus. I definetly recommend setting a bônus based on revenue and not marketing metrics, this way everybody works to maximize share and not views. Hope this helps you in some way.
      P.S: I also was owner of a marketing agency for the 10+ years and I'm trying to give a shot on making content lately.

    @hiimpie Месяц назад +12

    I'm still surprised that you're only at 100k for what kind of informing content you produce, I've been watching you for a really long time now and was expecting you to be at 1 Million already but this is great that you're explaining exactly your steps on how to do it. Your recent stuff I've been loving and has had a impact on me with how I should be approaching content, even though you're not strictly a content creator, your insights into the space really helps see what potential is there and how creators and agencies get the opportunities they get to where they are now and how those processes are made.
    Thanks Devin for all the knowledge you have shared with us so far and that I'm very grateful to have found your channel all of those years ago. I can't wait to see where this all will take you in the next few years and I'm excited for more valuable knowledge that not many creators are sharing!

  • @Grayz_TV
    @Grayz_TV 28 дней назад

    The fact that You're doing this feels amazing since I hardly watch anyone anymore due to topics being too click baity or them not having the mindset + IRL experience that I crave when watching really hardcore gamers. Also chill vibes and other traits makes my pool of possible channels even less + the older I get the more hardcore I become. That's just how I'm wired and love to live.
    It will be fun playing around with the ideas you mention. Not to make money but to have even more fun. Especially since I choose speed over editing etc etc. Which is why being a Live performer suits me so much better than nost RUclips metas that have ever existed.
    Good Luck and Have fun, I'll make sure to push your content that I vibe the most now that you've made this decision. Best part is this, with your mindset there's no going back unless real life reasons require.. Happy to have been following you for a very long time.
    Love,
    Grayz

  • @NohaTheEpic
    @NohaTheEpic Месяц назад +1

    I’ve been trying RUclips while also working full-time, and editing is absolutely the biggest time barrier for me. It’s encouraging to know that someone who has it figured out and works so much still needs to hire editors to keep up the frequency, because as someone who doesn’t have those resources, comparing my output to successful creators can be demoralizing. My content has a huge focus on its editing as well, so I think I’ll take a shot at lowering the production value like you mentioned so I can figure out what works.
    Thanks for the insight and good luck with your goal!

    I really like the first step of trying to analyze whether what you are trying to do is reasonably possible with whatever information that is available. It reminds me of something Elon Musk said quite a long time ago, when being interviewed about why he would get into such difficult businesses is, and part of his remark was something to the effect of "...though these companies are in exceedingly difficult industries to succeed or even survive in, I did a lot of analysis to determine that success was in fact one of the possible outcomes." Also totally still around at 22:45

    Devin, I've been watching you for a while. Everything I've heard has been gold. You've just dropped the biggest framework piece in this video for people serious about content creation and growing their channel. I needed this more than you know only because I know I have talent, just not exposure and cash to push it all. And that's ok. Perfecting craft is key. Ai is crucial in cutting costs. Even now, this video can be spun in different ways. ANYONE LISTEN SHOULD TAKE NOTES ON THIS VIDEO....that is all. Invaluable content always. To success in this endeavor. Thank you, Devin.

    22:45 - Your videos completely changed how I view business and marketing and for the better. I started watching a few years ago baited by the video about "why you should not become Twitch Affiliate". Your no-nonsense style is what's severely lacking nowadays, since "style over substance" is everywhere. And I kept asking myself "why does he have so little subs?" esp. since the messages are so powerful and so badly needed. I'll be enjoying the ride with you!

    Long time watcher when you pop up. So this video was a great refresher of the things I already learned from you. This is where knowing what to do and knowing how to do it diverge.
    If I took another serious run at content creation would you suggest making new channels or continue using the current ones?

  • @spasekadet
    @spasekadet Месяц назад

    Super glad your documenting this journey man. Excited to hear about what insight you gain from this journey so many people are undertaking these days.
    I like where this is going, but you could also include some avenues for a new creator who doesn’t have the capital to pay someone to edit or watch content for them. I know the game plan isn’t the same for everyone and it’s up to the watcher to interpret how they can base their plan around this one, but I’m havin trouble thinking of a substitute. Any ideas?

  • @CasasPlays

    Hey love to see your thought process on this. Why did you pick Patreon over Ko-fi or a similar platform? I’m considering this choice for myself upcoming and curious about the decision here if its primarily the revenue split ko-fi should be better right? I understand you have existing audience on patreon so that is a factor but if considering a new creator/business does that change your pick?

    At 3:20, I think you should include @Atrioc, as he’s been doing exactly what you’re talking about. Would you also consider including second channels, like a clips channel and a full VOD channel, if they’re a streamer? For example, Atrioc has a combined 895k subscribers across all three of his channels. His main channel averages around 300k views per video, while his clips channel gets over 100k views per video. On his main channel, he’s posting about 7-10 videos per month, and his second channel is posting once daily. BigA is in the same niche as you so it would be cool to see what you think?
