The title to Everyroad's video is "Van Life Youtubers: How much MONEY do they really make from ads?"

Funny..I came across this very same video last evening. I checked out the site too.

$70,000 + - a year from the YouTube alone.  Plus Amazon income from the shirts and stickers. Then kickback from Amazon sponsor advertising from the link. 

I hope he loves being a celebrity. I have worked hard at being a regular person that can not be noticed unless I want to be.

I personally wouldn't want his life. At times I'm not even sure if he does. But that being said, he's been at this awhile and if you're passionate about what you do and work at it long enough, you'll probably start making a decent salary. He is running a business, though I know he likes to pretend he isn't and he's now reaping the rewards.

while i'm all for making a buck and sure wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of that passive internet income

no,i'm not doing business with a company that censors according to what a dictator or king wants dictated 
my morals can't be bought and i don't really want to associated with those whose can no matter how nice and friendly they are 

google,walmart and amazon are some of the biggest corporations in the world so the next time you see a utuber talking how evil the system is give them the finger and f off hypocrite


dave2d,did the vandwelling vids but not much came of it but then he started roast vids making fun of #vanlife and it took off,but there was a problem,dave2d values morals over money


and as you can see from his next vid the dude has talent

I have spent time with some of the you tubers mentioned and have seen the effort that goes into building something up to that level. It is not passive and hobby like, it is a full time job that goes on day after day for years. Want to take time off? Rough luck because the people are only here a short time and you have to shoot while you can. Another might want to sit in a spot and enjoy life a bit, too bad. There are places to be, things to shoot, you must have content, content, content. It looks easy from the outside but the sacrifice and effort can be extreme.

I know what it takes to run a successful company, I did it for years. I know from Ehrenberg and the RTR what it is like to be overwhelmed day after day. I simply do not have what it takes to be successful as they are as I value being alone too much. I can't begrudge them the benefits of their efforts if they do well, good for them.

I think a few different topics are being discussed; money and ethics. I have learned this lesson well. Creating income from doing what you like turns doing what you like into a job. It also makes you keenly aware of how a bad review can affect this income and how it can affect you. I don't read reviews, comments on blogs, I don't even write some of the blogs in the days or even the years they are published. They are about three years behind. People do that. My FB log, the public one is run by an administrator and they run the website and blog posts twitter feed and other social media things. My private FB page is the only one I post to and I use no other social media personally.

I do this as I, like many, need to be insulated from the chaos of 9000 people sitting in basements thinking Santa Claus should personally write them back. This being said I still try to write any and everyone that takes the time to write personally. I just get the email a few months later and not the ones that don't ask questions or request a response. At the core of this is few people are comfortable becoming a brand. Then you have to be concerned with brand awareness and walk a fine line not to have a negative impact on that brand. I can handle people thinking I am a Jerk but if the brand gets associated with being a jerk then...loss of revenue, loss of reach, boycotts, etc etc.

I doubt many youtubers really thought about this. As previously pointed out, when INTO THE MYSTERY starts going on about the evil corporate reach and influence while pushing a multinational via a revenue stream people have a visceral reaction. This is not meant as a negative toward him. He is a kid, growing and learning and his actions and beliefs may not yet be aligned. Doesn't make him a bad person.

In other cases when the selling of goods or an idea/concept supersedes your own personal moral compass then you are soulless and rich. If you're ok with that then it is all good. The bitch of it is you usually don't know you've sold out, or sold your soul, till it is too late.

I went to a conference selling the idea of using youtube to be product ambassadors. Alternative marketing streams and significant influencers. I was meeting a friend presenting for lunch. During the lunch chat, one of the experts let it slip that for everyone making a thousand dollars a month 100 thousand were making a buck. But they all felt ok charging fifty bucks for the conference.

In security gigs, I am always very careful to know who I am working for. What they really are. Who they really are. If you don't have a significant searchable background and yet say you're a businessman of x corporation I am not likely to work for you. If your main corporation is a numbered company shell and research turns up little then I won't work for you. NOW if your job entails activities I find morally reprehensible or against my personal compass/rules then I won't accept the position. I'd like to believe this NOW/ THEN difference is because I've grown as a human ethically and spiritually. But...? Perhaps I am just not so hungry as I was before... The problem with self-discovery is the view is always a bias one. Same can be said for growing popularity...People that suddenly find fame and money usually go off the rails with disastrous results. Rock Stars, swimming pools, vodka and barbiturates.

Having edited a lot of video in my life, theres no question it’s hard to make it on YouTube— especially if you didn’t start three years ago.

Bob making 70k doesn’t make me jealous— the opposite. He is putting in the work to make $200k a year just from YouTube.

It’s really interesting to see what sells on YouTube. Anything where people will be spending money does well— better reviewing RVs than what bob does if you want money.

I don’t understand why The Fit RV keeps their day jobs.

geeze, my math is off again
I thought Will said, the BB makes close to $10K/month; - so let's say $9/month x 12 = $108,000 a year , PLUS CampHosting ??

out of curiosity, do his moderators get paid $ anything ?
