I started a YouTube channel in late 2019 focusing on making one LeetCode tutorial every week. Built up 300 subs until one viral reddit post bumped me up to 1.5k in 2 days.
Stopped posting videos in 2020 to focus on building a side-project but that never came to fruition. All the while my subscriber count still continued to grow (to ~4k) and I got monetized.
I started posting 1 vid/week again in mid-2020 and my earnings slowly grew from 10 cents a day up to 2$ per day.
In late 2020, I quit my job to focus on making coding tutorials on YouTube.
I post my YouTube stats on Twitter in the beginning of every month, here's what they looked like in Jan. and Feb. 2021: https://twitter.com/SuboptimalEng/status/1366808757121015812?s=20 https://twitter.com/SuboptimalEng/status/1366808757121015812...
