I continued reading and dabbling and kept my radar open for opportunities. I purchased a small / cheap course on creating profitable YouTube channels. Everything was simple and easy enough to understand.
I noticed a small channel with videos of top songs every year. But it had horrible thumbnails and I knew I could do better. I downloaded the top 30 songs of every year from Billboard and took 20 second clips to stay under copyright. I taught myself basic video editing with Adobe Premiere. I started stitching these clips together. The first few videos were pretty anemic, but I committed to creating 50 videos. After about 15-20 things started to snowball and engagements went through the roof. At the peak, the channel was getting 1-2M views/month resulting in $5-10k revenue.
It was a great start and really boosted my confidence. Unfortunately there wasn't a great way to continue to scale and grow the channel.
