This is a rare breakdown of the creator revenue structure: the real headliner is not YouTube ads, but brand partnerships, coaching, affiliate, and later software ready for production. The most inspiring is the TubeBuddy case: $440K lifetime affiliate became about $13/month after the rule change, indicating that "rented channel revenue" has platform/contract risks; the author therefore turned to proprietary education products and software.

Short excerpt

My all-time revenue from Coaching... is around $875,000

Evidence note: Medium to high: The author himself disclosed that the number, revenue channel and timeline are clear and the interaction is high; but it is not a single SaaS financial report, partial creator business P&L, lack of cost, manpower input, taxes, refunds, software subscription revenue splitting and screenshots; it is still valuable for independent stations/creators commercialization due to "proprietary software + owned product transformation"
