What is JustinGuitar's net worth and estimated earnings?

Nobody outside the channel sees the real figure, and ad revenue is only part of it - sponsorships and merch often dwarf it.

What should a channel like JustinGuitar make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the 10-20 min format, ship on Mon. The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 90K views.
