I have ben working with youtube for the last 2 years.
For me, 7.5K subscribers is a lot! Congrats on that.
I have about 4.9K and I make zero money from youtube/sponsors...
I'm wishing you the best of luck! I'm sure you'll make it.
I have seen your channel grow more and more recently! It is all compounding, so I wish you more and more growth. I am sure you are close to monetization 😊
