Bitcoiners need to understand that as of right now anyway V4V is not an income stream it is something "fun" and you better find other ways to monetize. 

I spent the first year I was on V4V podcasting dominating the Fountain.fm charts.  A year always in the top ten.  Most of the time top three shows.  Whopped Adam Curry and Odell many times and was number one or two any given week.  Again a year I played that game.  I even made my BTC episodes into a "Breakout" and that second use content stayed in the top 50 all year too.

That year The Survival Podcast was like number 6 over all the entire year, likely due to some bigger names having a few monster boosts here and there.  I had the most individual boosts, most individual streams and most individual supporters of all V4V podcasts for the entire year.  

Oh that year, I was only in the game for 9 months of it.  All in I made about 10 million sats. 

At the time BTC was in the teens and 20s.  But even with today's price, that is about 5 grand. 

Now look I am grateful for those sats.  But 5K a year is not an income that will pay even your basic bills is it?  It would not even cover my hosting, which is about 8400 a year.  

And again this was as one of the top podcasts in the V4V world for about a year.  If I were using the income as it came to live on it would have been more like 2 grand to live on for a year.   Again hosting for a show the size of mine is over 8 grand a year alone.

V4V is great, but it won't pay your bills yet.  Save in BTC. but earn in EVERYTHING YOU CAN especially as a content creator or you are going to be POOR.  Very very poor. 

Conversely if you are good at content and at monetizing you can absolutely make a multi six figure income as a creator in today's world and dare I say in almost any niche.
