Lauren Bateman waited four years before taking her first YouTube paycheck, then reinvested earnings into equipment and hiring an editor and admin. She says creators should skip the luxury purchases and spend on what accelerates growth.

When you start making money on YouTube, don't go in rush to buy fancy cars or fancy clothes. My recommendation would be to take the money you're making in YouTube and reinvest it into your business. Get better equipment, hire an editor, hire an admin or a VA that can help you with answering emails from your clients. I started my YouTube channel in 2017 and 2021 was the first year that I gave myself an actual paycheck from my online business. So as you can see, I just kept reinves all that money to grow the business as fast as possible. And that's what I recommend you do too. If you can.
