Riot started a giant franchise league in peak covid recession plus the Valorant hype caused orgs to spend way too much money on salaries

this was bound to happen; many people were laid off in other industries, and now it is esport's turn

Salaries are getting back to sustainable levels. Eventually they are gonna climb again but with less wasted VC money fueling the machine like E-Sports has been so far. Release skins and everyone will be perfectly fine and wages will grow healthily on basis of actual revenue streams.

bro if even myself running some faceless channel on youtube easily earn like 50-70k per month running some 2-5 faceless channels this is an example of my last week gain on new channel

imagine some dude who is pro player and has 200k followers is not able to farm at least 50k, its just fucking waste of time + high competitive scene + stress + getting hate of socials

pro player is a fucking meme.
nowadays after pandemic any moron can earn like 20k easily if they cut their salary its a big loss + a HUGE waste of time, remember that they're training 12h a day to be good a MOVING PIXELS on SCREEN, big waste of time too if they cannot farm money.

true. many orgs don't capitalize off their players or do a shitty job doing it. EG gets zero views on their socials and terrible merch

Many niches, but this one is on celebrity, famous people niche. tbh It's one of most profitable because you can easily farm money since people easily consume content from people who they idolize.

No, lol.
Curiosity niche, Football, NBA, anything like that.
Recently a channel "Dr Insanity" who talks about crime is earning like 300k USD per month in that niche and he spent like 200 USD per video lol
Youtube is too vast, any braindead niche you can farm
Gaming niche is not that much profitable at all, only if you get insanely viral but I do not like to go into "clips" content at all, such waste of time.

Kinda, normally if you wanna earn like 5k USD guaranteed, just model what is trending, do it in a similar way, if you live in a country that has another native language someone speaks English, do something similar to what is trending in the US, remodel it. Normally you can easily earn 5k USD this way. But if you want to expand and earn more than 100k per month, either you will have several channels or you must innovate by capturing a gap into market (gap in a niche where you can easily farm and no competition) like the channel above did.
But when you start you need to do everything solo, voice over, editing, scriptwriting, thumbnail, title, etc.

As I told, just model what is trending.
1 niche
1 product to sell (as affiliate if you want)
5 good refences in your niche
1 video per day (i recommend it since you're starting, just grind working 8h day), or one video per 3-4 day
Keep doing this shit for 2-3 months getting better at doing Titles, Thumb, (CTR) and retention.

It's just impossible to not be able to farm 5k USD month by remodeling channels that are trending or trending topic since you're going to take a share of the topic or niche.

I already started outsourcing as I already made money in e-commerce, so I didn't learned how to voice over and editing, I only did the script.

bro these days ive seen so many channels that do shorts with AI voiceover, and no one in the comments can tell that its AI, or they just dont bother to care, its crazy, and they get so many views, u 100% know more than me tho, im just an casual consumer, who doesn't think too much.. i shouldve tho, u earn a very good amount.

but honestly, using AI is kinda shit I do not recommend it at all, just outsource it or learn how to do storytelling properly.

If you want to do something in the long term (which is what I recommend) it's better to use a human voice, now if you're going to test or make quick money with AI, it's fine, but normally you'll lose monetization after a few months.

but for "dark" channel aka faceless channel it might work, I have seen a lot of them doing it on curiosity niche, football, NBA, cricket, etc. (many lose their monetization too, or now using paid IA voices)

but human voice will always retain more in my opinion since you can show your emotions.
Youtube is much more about hormones, it's about hypnotizing people and not convincing them in a rational way.
it's more about the unconscious than the conscious game, when u learn these things gg u farm a bank, you literally change your life with just one video going viral, your video got 1M? gg, you made literally 5k. If your niche paid well it's literally 15-20k in one video especially during Q4 semester.

It will probably lead to a lot of the big branded players to just switch to streaming/socials.
Less stress probably better salary.

No it won’t, as always the big branded players will probably just get paid more in esports, no matter how much yay was advertised he should’ve never been making tenz money
