The best way to make money from a small YouTube channel is to build a business around your audience. Relying on AdSense is one of the least reliable income streams—payouts are low, view-dependent, and out of your control.

But how do you sell? People who subscribe to your newsletter have opted in; they care about what you say and are far more likely to support you or purchase later. Like any good friendship, that relationship needs nurturing through consistent contact.

85 % of business orders come a year after the initial email sign-up. Regular follow-ups prevent people from forgetting you and turn interest into sales.

Kawara automates all of that—pulling your video transcripts and generating polished newsletter drafts in minutes—so you stay top-of-mind without extra workload.
