How to Make Money as a YouTuber: Secrets from the Top earners
As someone who’s been doing YouTube videos since 2010, I’ve heard all the rumors about how easy it is to make money on YouTube. I remember hearing something like If you have 100,000 subscribers and 3,000 video views per day, you’ll make $10,000 per month just from ads on your videos! Well, I soon found out that that was simply not true. At least not the way it was said! Yes, there are people out there making big money from YouTube.
Why do people make money on YouTube?
There are many ways that YouTubers make money. The most common is through ad revenue, which is generated when viewers watch ads that are placed on their videos. YouTube also allows creators to sell products and services, collaborate with other brands, and get paid for sponsored content. Additionally, many YouTubers have built successful careers by becoming thought leaders and influencers in their industries. These people often use YouTube to share their knowledge of specific topics, such as parenting or weight loss. They then monetize this content by partnering with brands and companies who want to reach the people they speak to.
Who are the top earners on YouTube?
The top five earners on YouTube are, in order from highest to lowest, PewDiePie, VanossGaming, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and Smosh. These channels all have one thing in common: they produce videos that people love to watch. It’s not just about uploading regularly or having good video quality-it’s about making content that your audience can relate to. So don’t be discouraged if you have an idea for a video but you’re not sure if it will be popular-just upload it and see what happens! Another important aspect of being successful on YouTube is building a community. Try reaching out to other YouTubers and collaborating with them; when your subscribers get wind of this, they're more likely to interact with both of you. Get creative with how you build your community-you might start by commenting on other peoples' videos (or their responses to yours!) and participating in chatrooms, for example.
Starting Your Channel From Scratch
So you want to be a YouTuber, but don’t know where to start? First, you need to create your channel. To do this, go to YouTube and sign in or create a new account. Then, click on the user icon in the top right corner of the screen and select My Channel. From here, you can start customizing your channel by adding a description, channel art, and choosing a URL. Be sure to upload your first video so people can subscribe! Once you have uploaded your first video, it is time to think about monetization. There are many ways for YouTubers to make money- some choose ads that run before their videos play while others have patrons who give them monthly donations for their content.
Creating Quality Content
The first step to becoming a successful YouTuber is creating quality content that people will want to watch. This means having an engaging personality, filming interesting videos, and editing your footage well. In order to make money from your channel, you’ll need to grow your audience by consistently putting out great content. Once you have grown your audience significantly, Google AdSense offers you a way to monetize their viewership with ads of various types including video ads (pre-rolls), banner ads (inline), and overlay ads (overlay). YouTube also offers their own advertising formats which can help creators generate revenue when their videos are played.
Video Length, Frequency and Structure
The average video length on YouTube is around 4 minutes, but the most popular videos are usually much shorter. You should aim to upload at least one video per week, but more is better. Structure your videos so that they have a beginning, middle and end, and make sure to include a call to action at the end. If you're having trouble coming up with ideas for what you want to talk about, start by browsing popular videos in your niche and checking out their comments or reading through their related blog posts. As an example, if you post product reviews, check out what people are asking in the comments or Google product review and see what's been done before. Are there any new products you can talk about? How do the features compare to other models? Does it work well? What would be helpful for someone who buys this model?
Monetization Strategies (Live Streaming, Advertisements, Tipping/Donations, Merchandise etc.)
You can make money on YouTube through a variety of methods. The most common is advertising, which can be in the form of pre-roll ads that play before your video, banner ads that show up on the side of your video, or sponsored videos, where a brand pays you to mention them in your video. You can also make money through live streaming, by charging for access to your live stream or running ads during your stream. Another way to monetize content is through tipping and donations. Some creators have subscription tiers, so if someone wants access to all their content they might need to pay a monthly fee. Finally, some people sell merchandise such as t-shirts and mugs with their logo on it; others might sell art prints, stickers or even custom items based off their characters or interests.
Tips For Saving Time and Money
1. Find a niche that you’re passionate about and that you can see yourself doing long-term. 2. Invest in high-quality equipment—it will make your videos look more professional and help you attract more viewers. 3. Take advantage of YouTube’s search engine optimization features to ensure that your videos are easy to find. 4. Use social media to promote your videos and build up a following. 5. Set realistic goals for what you want to accomplish on YouTube. 6.
Get feedback from other YouTubers and viewers who share your interests by posting comments on their videos or engaging with them on social media. 7. Consider partnering with a friend or family member who has complementary skills, like being funny or being good at editing, so that you can create even better content together! 8. Create one video per week (or two) if you have a lot of free time but be sure to vary the type of videos that you post each week so that your subscribers don't get bored. 9. If making money isn't your main goal, try out an ad-supported channel before committing to spending money on ads and sponsorships. 10. Don't forget to have fun!
