How much does The Dividend Experiment make? (estimated)

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, The Dividend Experiment pulls roughly 10K long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $10-$39 a month in ad revenue (about $118-$471 a year). Treat it as a ballpark, not a payslip - real creator income varies wildly, and this ignores the back catalogue.

What should a channel like The Dividend Experiment make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the under 5 min format, ship on Fri. The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 6K views.
