Will I Achieve 10,000 USD/month by the end of 2025?

If you bet either YES or NO please let me know about your reasoning in the comments (This helps me succeed and I am also curious).

If you want more info added, ask in the comments as well, if I am ok with sharing it, I will add it to the description.

To make it more fun, and since I have to believe in myself, I will always buy YES especially when it's low, BUT I will only allow myself to sell shares if the liquidity reaches $5000+ as a way to stabilize the market.

In the previous question I invested more than 50% of my net worth, and even though I lost it all, i honestly resolved the question:

Background/Context

I've been self-employed for the last 3.5 years in the YouTube space as my own agency with my friends and a Youtube Strategist with 50M+ views. I've been learning about business for a long time.

I've done high school, but have decided to not go to university.

During that time my personal highest earning month was around $3,000.
The highest that the agency itself earned was around $6,000.

My highest income month from strategy work etc was ~$6,000

Right now I have around 2,500 followers on Twitter.

My current income sources:

(At the time market was opened)

Agency client (been with him for 2 years now): consistent minimum $125/mo. On good months $300.
- I believe this will increase over time as we're going to be posting more videos and we're venturing into a new niche that has more potential right now.
- However he may not be my main time priority
Consultation client: $2,400 but based on packages rather than monthly
- Income here is inconsistent as it depends on when he wants to do calls, therefore I can't control how frequently I get paid.
- Right now it's about every ~2 months, Likely will be increased as we're slowing getting the production cycle more consistent

My plan

My actual mid-term goal (6-9 months) is to establish myself as one of the biggest authorities in the niche, I plan to do so by doing a programme/challenge that hasn't been ever done before.

To do so, I will need to:

Learn even more about how to start, manage, automate and grow YT channels
Have at least ~5 of my own YT channels
Have at least 5k/mo to invest into this and other channels

To create those ~5 channels I will also need at least 2k-4k/mo to invest into starting them (editors, thumbnail designers etc) and other learning opportunities (coaches etc)

This makes cash ($15k or 4-5k/mo) my shorter-term goal (3-6 months), meanwhile learning is also a priority.

First I will try to partner with an expert who already does this, to manage channels he will invest in. (He said he'll get back to me in January)
- This will be most ideal if he accepts, since I get to both earn and learn
Alternatively, I will use my existing income sources + additional freelancing that I am specialized in (thumbnail concept ideas etc), for $200-$250 per video.
- I will first reach out to 2-3 people to do it for free, then use them as case studies to post on my Twitter, from there I will find more and more clients.
- This has the potential of up to around 5k/mo if i get enough regular clients and depending on my time investment
If either 1. or 2. are successful, OR i simply save up from my existing income (my monthly expenses are $125/mo), I will start my own channels asap.

Each channel has the potential to earn anywhere from $1,000 up to $10,000+/month.

Updates

17/01/2025

1. I earned ~$3,400 in ~7 days
2. Started my first automated/faceless channel

a family member that I live with, started recently coughing very frequently (something like a COPD or chronic bronchitis) about 10 days ago, which really frustrated me because I couldn't properly focus or go to sleep (imagine loud coughs followed by other annoying sounds 10+ times a minute, almost every minute of the day).

And so I set myself a goal of $4,000 income this month no matter what, so that I can move out (have to pay 6 months up front at least + $1,100 for other visa expenses)

I threw away my sleep schedule so that I could wake up at night (when that person is asleep) and focus on my work, I pretty much-removed everything but work for those 10 days. Jumped on more opportunities and did more work for my main client, so I was able to almost meet my goal.

Turns out I may need a lot less to move out but I still need to wait before I can as well.

For this goal I also partnered with a creator to use their footage and fully run a channel with it, they get a % of the profit while doing nothing.

to do this without initial capital I partnered with an editor i knew for a long time for a % split for him to edit the videos. So far already done 4 videos, 2 of which posted, cumulatively around 10k views (not bad for a start!)

Resolution Criteria

This market will resolve YES if:

My total monthly pre-tax profit from all sources reaches or exceeds $10,000 for at least 2 consecutive months.
If I reach $10,000/mo in December only this also counts, but not if it's any other month.
If any 2 months average is $10k+/mo that also counts, as imo that also signifies the same.
- i.e month 1 = $5k, month 2 = $15k

I will post a screenshot of my bank statements for 2 relevant months IF I resolve YES (since I will only be buying YES).

I will count both the money still arriving and what has arrived in my account.

I will not be counting revenue, only pre-tax profit
