<div>We've started this page to recover from the dip in viewership/revenue we experienced in 2023. I have used all my savings, I've taken out a line of credit, and have received help from family. The start of the year has always been hard, but not like this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Where would the money go?</strong>
</div>
<div>With payroll being the biggest cost, expenses come to around $16k a month.
</div>
<ul>
<li>Payroll
</li>
<li>Equipment (audio interfaces, mics, cords)
</li>
<li>Software (Adobe Suite, Trello, Payroll Service, etc)
</li>
<li>Asset Creation (custom content made by a team of 7 to 8 people)
</li>
<li>Closed Captions
</li>
<li>Domain Fees
</li>
</ul>
<div>The starting goal would be a very helpful beginning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Are things getting better?</strong>
</div>
<div>In good news, we have started to turn things around with our viewership. We won't get to see the financial rewards of those changes for a few months. AdSense RPMS (what we're paid per 1k views) are low Jan-March. In the meantime, we are seeking some financial stability.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What about sponsorships?</strong>
</div>
<div>Sponsorships only come by once every other year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How come you're only speaking up now?</strong>
</div>
<div>I've made mention of our tough times in community posts throughout 2023.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Are you quitting YouTube?</strong>
</div>
<div>Not anytime soon, I hope. We have big, exciting plans for the channel that can only happen (in part) with your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for the support.
