TheCooknShare'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, TheCooknShare pulls roughly 144K long-form views a month, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $144-$575 a month in ad revenue (about $2K-$7K a year). Treat it as a ballpark, not a payslip - real creator income varies wildly.

What should a channel like TheCooknShare make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the under 5 min format, ship on Sun, and build titles around its proven words (supper, one, minute). The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 12K views.
