Study the example channels below: which titles and thumbnails multiply their average, and how long are the videos?
Pick a narrower angle inside nutrition: focus on one audience or one question instead of the generic videos everyone makes.
Aim for the median first: here that’s 44,196 views per video. Ship your first 10 videos in one format, then adjust from the data.
Do the math honestly: 100,000 monthly views in this niche earn roughly $350 – $875. You need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours to monetize.
