Or why not start with a more modest production budget? It takes longer to shoot, but with the right equipment, you can shoot this stuff yourself. Watch one of Mend It Mark's videos (1). He does the whole thing all by himself and it looks absolutely fantastic. Then, if you get a couple million subscribers, hire some people and go big time. Because you can afford to.

Agreed. She approached it backwards. A YouTube channel doesn’t have to be like a VC startup where you lose money until you hopefully make it back later. Just start small, DIY and then hire help later if it’s making money.
