It’s about 25% depending on the topic, it’s more about pushing the views up do the algorithm picks the video up. Also don’t post in the pages all in one day either. Plus don’t post until the video has been on YouTube at least 2 days.

Running a channel on YouTube is a whole different beast than any other form of content creation. YouTube is. literally it’s own eco-system, that you constantly need to understand and be abreast of new changes. Long gone are the days of just upload and forget.

Personally if I was going to create a channel to earn living from I wouldn’t choose this hobby. It doesn’t earn enough, there are far more lucrative sectors.

As for free stuff I get sent items all the time but it’s not because of the YouTube channel, it’s the magazine which I’ve run since 2009. Using it to create video content is just a bonus for me because it’s either stuff I’d never buy or my bank balance wouldn’t allow me to.

If you want to make a living in this hobby then you need to chase the GW money. Games Workshop content generally does much better numbers than any other hobby content, even when you’re just ranting about how shitty they might be.
