Syndicate Project makes roughly $40,000 a month from YouTube's 30 million monthly views, plus an estimated $100,000 to $200,000 from Twitch streaming and merchandise. That's before taxes and network cuts, which viewers constantly forget to account for.
It's a little surprising to me, but I actually get a lot of requests asking how much Syndicate Project makes off of YouTube, and in particular this one guy has left comments on multiple videos asking for it, and I don't know, maybe it's just because I don't watch him, but anyways, let's Let me open up my notes and, uh, Syndicate Project gets 30 million views per month, or at least last month he got 30 million views. So obviously you times that by 12 and that's 360 million views per year. That is a lot of views, and I think he's one of the original Call of Duty YouTubers or whatever. So, uh, yeah, he has like over 6 million subscribers. He's pretty big. He's a top-tier YouTuber. So 30 million views per month comes out to roughly $40,000 per month. So he's making $40,000 per month, which is like, you know, the average yearly income for an entire year for most families. He's making per month off of YouTube. And obviously if you times $40,000 by 12, that's $480,000. So he's making almost half a million dollars a year off of YouTube alone. Now that's not including Twitch because he is a really, really big Twitch streamer. He's one of the top 5 Twitch streamers, if I believe. Um, I was looking on Social Blade and he was in the top 5 list. So that's pretty crazy. And a lot of people make a living off of Twitch, and I have no idea how to calculate earnings on Twitch because I've never streamed, but I'm pretty sure he's at least making a couple hundred thousand dollars off of Twitch. I know that's a really random number, but he's one of the top Twitch streamers, and there are tons of people who make a living off of Twitch and make a ton of money off of it. And if he's one of the top 5, then he's got to be making a ton of money. But from YouTube alone, he's making almost half a million dollars a year. And that's just YouTube. And then he's getting at least another $100,000 from Twitch and then merchandise and all that. Now I'm gonna kind of steer away from talking about Syndicate and address a complaint that I get on a lot of my videos. A lot of people say that I should mention the fact that they have to pay taxes on their earnings and like they have to give a percentage of their earnings to their networks and yada yada yada. When I say YouTuber makes $1 million, they think I should be more literal and mention the fact that part of that goes to taxes and to their network and things like that. And I've mentioned this before, you know, like everyone wants to be a doctor. Like doctors, you know, make a lot of money. We'll say they make 6 figures. So if a doctor— if it's said that a doctor makes $100,000, obviously that's before taxes, that's before they have to buy their medical insurance. That's, you know, after all that's said and done, they're left with like $75,000, $80,000. That's also implied with YouTubers. When I give an earnings statistic, when I said Syndicate makes $500,000, that's obviously before taxes. Once you subtract taxes, that's gonna take, you know, $100,000 away or whatever. And then, you know, he's gonna have to give 10% to his network, and that's like another $50,000. But that goes without saying for any job. Whenever you say, you know, a job makes $40,000 a year, that's obviously before taxes and anything else that the job requires you to pay for. But yeah, that goes for all my videos. When I say YouTuber makes X amount of money, obviously they have to pay taxes on it, and then a percent of the money goes to their network, just like with any other job. There are fees and you obviously have to pay taxes on it. I don't know why, but so many people complain about that and forget that, yes, it's a job. YouTubers do have to pay taxes on it. And anyways, that's pretty much everything. Let me know what you think.
