Many artists do not have Youtube channels. You don't need to have a Yuotube channel. If I don't make a video, I would brainstorm for ideas on what to make. Now, I'm excited to wake up each day to make videos. When I first started my channel, I didn't know if I would enjoy making videos. The next question is do you have the discipline to keep going? You may feel very passionate or motivated to start a Youtube channel, but that passion or motivation my die out. To make significant amount of money, you have to plan your content strategies for the long term. If you get 10,000 views on your videos in a month, that may earn you just $10 to $40. It's unlikely for a new art channel to make substantial amount of money in the beginner. Youtube pays around USD $1-4 per 1,000 impressions (views) from Google Adsense. How far do you think you can go if you're disappointed each day when you know how much effort you have put into your videos? If you are focused on the number of views, likes and subscribers, you will be disappointed everyday when you check your Youtube analytics. When starting out, your videos won't have many views and you won't get many subscribers. If you are looking for fame and money, be prepared to get disappointed because those are byproducts of the videos you make, and those will come much later. Everything is easier with the right motivation, and if you can turn your motivation into habits to help you create art, anything, you're on the way to success. Starting a Youtube channel for the right reasons is incredibly important because that will determine how far you can go, and the success of your channel. Why do you want to start a Youtube channel? It's a lot of work and you probably won't see results for a long time.
