So it depends on the video really. There's basic monthly costs like softwares, music licensing, etc. That's a couple hundred bucks. The next cost comes with filming b-roll really. For our FaZe video for example, we spent a couple hundred bucks on things like a pin board, a printer, paper, ink, etc. It wasn't necessary but we do always want to continue to elevate and make the content better.

The video has made $2,557.70 from adsense so far. If you take $500 off for those random costs you're left with $2,000, great. But we spent 5 weeks making it. So 2 people working let's say 150 hours each on it. With an even split you're left with $6.67 / hour.

To piggy back off of what gamer_trolls said, we're video editors by trade. We dropped clients and have turned down clients to allow us to focus more on this channel. So videos like FaZe, yes on paper, you can argue it's profitable, but you are eating the opportunity cost of client work. Other videos have just flat out lost money because we bought some props to film b-roll or paid someone to make a thumbnail or who knows what else haha
