I never even tried to make money on social networks, and none of my acquaintances have earned anything there either. A YouTube channel is a good idea, but you need to understand what kind of content you’re going to create, who your audience will be, and how much competition you have. A channel usually has to be developed for years before it starts bringing in significant money. Since I can’t really produce any original video content, I gave up on that idea a long time ago.
