The real YouTube income streams

Stability comes from multiple income streams and from offloading the business side. Brand deals, UGC, affiliates and your own offers together are far safer than depending on one. And handing deal-hunting, negotiation and admin to a management partner frees you to do the one thing only you can do - create - which is what grows your income in the first place.
