We do have links to Steemit in our description below each video, but we've found that stuff in the description is pretty useless unless you're actually asking your audience (in the video) to go look for it.
For example, we had an Airbnb link in the description for a couple of months and didn't get a single person signing up through our link. That was until one day, when we told them about it in a video, and that same day something like 20 people signed up through our link.
Right now, we make nothing from YouTube. We've been waiting for monetization approval for a while now which would allow us to put ads on our videos.
We recently launched our Patreon and now make about $200/month from that.
We make a little bit of money from Amazon Affiliates.
We make a little bit from people reaching out to us wanting to donate via PayPal.
We haven't done any paid sponsorships yet, but we're starting to get a lot of requests to advertise product/services. These sponsorships will probably soon be our biggest revenue source. For this particular video, we reached out to Herradura, they gave us a free tour, and permitted us to film (almost) everything. However, they didn't pay us anything.
Wow. That’s quite a few different revenue streams. So you’re not converting your Steem and SBD to Fiat then?
We're not converting any to fiat when the prices are down like they are now. We converted some when the prices were higher, but we're hopeful that soon we won't have to rely on Steem at all and be able to power up everything we earn before long.
You may notice that we recently started a power down but that power down isn't for the purpose of selling steem.
OK cool. Mostly asking because I'm wanting to find people who are living off their Steem earnings.
I'd love to put together an article where I discuss what they did to achieve it and how much work they put in to maintain their income.
