Until recently, it seemed that YouTube was used exclusively for entertainment, but people quickly found themselves who began to make money on it. How do you make money on YouTube?
You need to create your own YouTube channel. Then regularly upload videos that are interesting to viewers. You can start making money on YouTube after there are enough subscribers on the channel who trust your channel. How can this be achieved?
Find your strengths
- do not shoot a video about anything. The work should have an idea and salt, it should contain something that the viewer wants to know. Start by finding what you love. Sharing knowledge is easier if the topic interests you. Turn your hobby into a job, there will definitely be people who will love to watch your videos.
Determine what area you are best at. Maybe you are a good plumber, construction worker, seamstress, hairdresser, computer technician, or cook. People are looking for various information on the Internet. The main thing is that you are well versed in the topic on which you are going to shoot a video. As a rule, viewers notice whether you are a professional in your field or not. The topic for making money on a YouTube channel does not have to be complicated.
- do not post low quality videos with bad sound. If you want to gain the trust of viewers, take care of your reputation.
- communicate with subscribers. YouTube is actually a social network. Think of its users as friends - respond to comments, share your expert opinion. Is it possible to make money on a YouTube channel without communicating with your subscribers? Yes, but the earnings will be less. If a subscriber asked a question in the comments, and you did not answer, the subscriber may be "offended" and unsubscribe from your channel. The fewer subscribers you have, the lower your earnings will be.
How to make money on YouTube
You can talk about making money from YouTube videos under two conditions:
- The channel has uploaded more than 4 thousand hours of video.
- At least 1 thousand subscribers.
You have achieved the results you want. What's next? You need to join the YouTube affiliate program. The application is considered for a maximum of a month. The partnership offer may be rejected if the channel contains videos that are prohibited by the rules of the service. In case of refusal, you must revise your content, remove videos that do not meet the requirements of YouTube. A reapplication can be submitted after 30 days. If the site administration has made a positive decision on the partnership, the channel needs to be developed further. Dead channels that do not post videos for 6 months are disconnected from the affiliate program.
Earnings on Youtube depends on the popularity of the channel and the type of earnings. Google provides various forms of advertising:
- Pre-roll - short commercials lasting a few seconds, displayed before the video starts on the player, it is impossible to stop them.
- Advertisements - Most often located in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Ads posted on the bottom of the video.
- The advertisements that appear during the video are not very popular due to the fact that they interrupt the viewing.
As you can see, making money on YouTube is not very difficult. If you have something to share with your viewers, try yourself as a video blogger.
