Andy Guitar's estimated YouTube earnings

Nobody outside the channel sees the real figure, and ad revenue is only part of it - sponsorships and merch often dwarf it. But from public view counts, Andy Guitar pulls roughly 93K long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $93-$372 a month in ad revenue (about $1,115-$4,458 a year).

What should a channel like Andy Guitar make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the under 5 min format, ship on Sat, and build titles around its proven words (songs). The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 7K views.
