Creators who want to start earning on the platform will need at least 8,000 qualified watch hours over the past year or 20 million qualified Shorts views in the last 90 days.
What is the best social media platform for niche content creators? I’m thinking of starting a small project for one of my hobbies but I’d hope to make at least enough to pay for my setup (mic, camera, etc.). Is that unrealistic?
It’s also a matter of audience. Part of what lets Nebula work at all is the built-in audience for the creators that are there. Same with droput.tv and c5.now and even means.tv.
Peertube will work better as more and bigger creators cross-post to it. Another challenge it faces though is scaling and yes, monetization since there’s no subscription system through the platform by default.
Nothing… I for some reason just simply don’t think nowdays you can start out unless you want to make dogshit ragebait content that acts on the emotion of others…
If youre doing niche hobby stuff why are you even talking about monetization? This is for people who dont have a real job and trying to make it in youtubes version of hollywood.
I wouldn’t count on it, my wife has been trying to the best of her abilities and at the limit of our financial reach…it’s been 10 years so far, 20k on insta and recently picked up YouTube which was now getting close to getting paid pennies…but not anymore it seems.
You either have to get lucky or have the funds and means to keep pushing yourself into the system until you trip over success.
My wife had a single sponsor which paid her €20 per month but being sponsored by them led to her followers expecting her to behave like customer support 24/7.
She now has this co-op with a printer resin company where she gets a percentage of each sale…she made zero in the past 10 months of pushing the product.
At least she’s happy for being able to share her interest and hobby with a fuckload of other people.
I mean, if you’re not going to make any money, why not? At least you might get some patreon.
The problem is surfacing content. She’s going to need to subtlely advertise on threads, insta and tt, but once their AI gets wind of that, they’ll piledrive your engagement into the ground

Like it or not, youtube still has the biggest audience and the best discovery algorithm (even with it’s flaws).
And, even with this latest change, still pays better than other platforms.
Actually Nebula pays their creators better.
Sure but how do you get on Nebula?
As far as I know it comes from having an established YouTube presence first.
Yeah, unfortunately is the only way. If peertube worked with monetization it maybe would be a better place than youtube.
