Youtube Strategy

So, you’re ready to dive into the YouTube universe, but there’s that one tiny detail keeping you up at night – what content should you actually make? Trust me, I’ve been there, staring at my screen like it holds the secrets of the universe, while my browser history fills up with variations of “what videos should I make?”

Let’s cut through the noise and get real about choosing your YouTube content type. Because here’s the thing – in 2025, YouTube isn’t just a video platform anymore; it’s a full-blown career launchpad where educational content creators are pulling in $9.89 per thousand views, and even smaller gaming channels are banking $2,600+ monthly. But (and it’s a big but) only if you pick the right content type for you.

Picture this: You’re sitting at your desk, staring at a folder full of raw footage, wondering how on earth those big YouTubers make it look so easy. Your wallet’s already feeling light from all the gear you bought, and now every editing software, every design tool, every little helper app seems to want a monthly subscription. Trust me, I’ve been there – watching tutorial after tutorial of people using expensive software that costs more than my entire setup.

Picture this: You’re scrolling through YouTube, and suddenly you stumble upon a channel raking in millions of views. The crazy part? There’s not a single face on camera. No talking head, no awkward dance moves, just pure, engaging content that’s absolutely crushing it.

Spoiler alert: This isn’t some mythical unicorn channel. It’s happening right now, and the numbers are mind-blowing. Take BE AMAZED, for instance – they’re pulling in over $1 million annually from their faceless channel. Yes, you read that right – seven figures without showing their face even once!

Your inbox pings. A brand wants to collaborate. Your heart races as you read their message, but then comes the million-dollar question: “What are your rates?”

If you’ve ever felt that mix of excitement and panic, you’re not alone. Whether you’ve got 10,000 subscribers or 1 million, pricing your first (or fifteenth) sponsorship can feel like solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded.

Here’s the thing: Markiplier charges upwards of $25,000 per sponsored video. Meanwhile, mid-sized tech channels like Austin Evans command between $2,500 to $9,000 per collaboration. But what about your channel? Let’s cut through the confusion and break down exactly what you should charge.
