“A YouTube-paid post can be anywhere from $40,000 to $60,000 for a 30-minute pre-roll. Instagram, we make about $20,000 for anywhere from three to eight stories,” she added.
Courtney, who used to clean houses, and her husband, Mike, who worked as a civil engineer, quit their respective jobs in order to manage Tucker and his pup, Todd, full-time.
