She doesn't do sponsored videos though and that is where the bigger money is at for YTers. A grand a month would be a nice bonus - she could save it to get a place, or we will see her buy that designer purse and shoes she keeps going on about and go on vacations.
I liked that in her latest video she hinted at not being invited to PR events, so maybe that what she is aiming at. Building a network and some name recognition, getting invited to openings etc. seems in line with her work. She increased her subscriptions well this year, I think. Surely she will be on some marketing people's radar now.
