By YouTube standards, he is pretty small fry. The annual income from 5k subscribers would barely cover a set of tyres.
Granted, it's going to take a while, but you gotta start somewhere
Exactly, Look at what happened with Project Binky
Enlighten us Ali, what is/was project Binky, and what happened to it?

Binky started off 7 years ago with 2 lads in a shed trying to fit Toyota GT4 running gear to a humble classic mini
Skip 6 years forward, 30 episodes later the 2 lads now have enough youtube followers and sponsors to give up their day jobs and concentrate 100% on the youtube channel such is the income generated by it.
Project binky is a great watch and you see throughout the episodes how they develop their skills.
Cracking viewing.
Only on youtube
They also have a side project "The Escargo" where they are rebuilding an old removal lorry and converting it into a race truck / camper fot he mini named Binky
Very enjoyable

Binky is a great watch. Nick and Rich are very entertaining, probably because they have a similar sense of humour. The Bargain Racement mini series was good too. Trouble with these things is, as a viewer, progress is always too slow. 😆
