Muscle & Strength'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, Muscle & Strength pulls roughly 310K long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $310-$1,238 a month in ad revenue (about $3,715-$14,861 a year).

What should a channel like Muscle & Strength make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the 20 min+ format, ship on Fri, and build titles around its proven words (eating). The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 60K views.
