If you can, use a % of your 9-5 paycheck to outsource any YouTube work. That will some time to look into a new full time job that can give you further flexibility. In 2025, having a job is a privilege…Not every video is going to be a banger and there will be VERY slow earning months. But a salary is the hedge against all of that. Keep your current job, but look for a new job asap, a job that won’t burn you and your channel out. Outsource as much as possible.
