I wanted to know whether making & publishing videos on Youtube is a good passive income channel similar to websites with adsense?

    https://youtu.be/a49fipjglyc?t=7m49s (Dan Olson on the Fine Brothers) suggests that "tens of thousands of views per video is only making little more than entertainment money per month on ad revenue alone"

    find a niche you love and do it because you enjoy it.

    if you go into it just trying to make money the odds of even finding subscribers is low.
