Brand deals are unpredictable. Subscribers aren't.
Build recurring income from the audience that lives vicariously through you.
You travel. You document it. You've built an audience that follows your every trip. Brand deals come and go — one month you're flush, the next month there's nothing. Spotlightly gives you a recurring revenue base that doesn't depend on any brand's budget.
The problem with Brand deals / YouTube
Brand deals average $1,000-5,000 per post depending on audience size — but they're inconsistent, require negotiation, and can be cancelled. YouTube travel content earns $2-5 per 1,000 views. The feast-or-famine cycle is unsustainable.
