I run EatTheBlocks, a screencast for ethereum dapps / solidity smart contract devs.
I started a YT channel 1.5 years ago, and a paid membership website a few month ago.
Its not paying my rent yet, but its making in the a few 100’s USD MRR. Looking to reach 1000 usd MRR at the end of the year. Seems like the growth has been accelerating, so maybe that I will revise up my target.
For me the rule is pretty simple: more content = more paid subs. My big problem is the cost of production: producing video tutorials takes me a massive amount of time, and at the moment is not profitable at all when you take into consideration the time spent.
Also what worries me is that I dont really see a way to scale this up, as hiring other devs to produce content is almost impossible: Need a very rare combination of tech skills, and presentation/ teaching skills.
The only solution I see to this problem is to break down the process of producing content (generate idea, coding, recording...), delegate some parts, and do the integration myself
