It’s impossible to find a person in the U.S. who hasn’t heard of YouTube. The video sharing website that was founded 13 years ago has changed so much. It’s not only about connecting the whole world, but it’s also about the significant impact on people’s lives who currently get paid by YouTube platform. It allows anybody to become visible and popular.

Everyone can launch their own YouTube channel, get views, and forget about their regular job.

We can see how famous YouTubers, such as PewDiePie (82M subscribers) or Dude Perfect (37M subscribers) enjoy their lives by only doing what they love. Sometimes it seems like every famous personality on Youtube is a millionaire. Can someone make a fortune out of funny videos?

How much money do YouTubers make?

If you have an active YouTube channel, you can receive up to $18 per 1,000 ad views. It’s around $5 per 1000 views.

If you are curious about how much your favorite YouTuber makes money, you can check it online on the SocialBlade website. You can easily see their estimated monthly and yearly earnings. However, once Youtubers become famous, they start making money by ‘selling air.’ Fans do want to meet up with their idol. So, they are eager to attend the shows and buy stuff that is somehow connected to the Youtuber. Different kinds of companies know about this very well and offer Youtubers work contracts. At the moment, there are a lot of YouTubers who live out of selling products. Sometimes there are unexpected situations with all this “let me sell you something.”

Zoella, British Youtuber with almost 12M subscribers was forced to apologize for selling advent calendars for £50 each. She realized that it was too expensive once she’s got a lot of angry comments from parents who couldn’t afford it.

Some YouTubers don’t hide the fact that they are entrepreneurs and use Youtube as a platform where they sell products. They understand that to do so, they need to provide high-quality content. Otherwise, people won’t be interested in watching simple advertisements.

Take, for example, Lily Singh who became famous for great comedy. She calls herself a superwoman on Youtube. She was using her channel to sell her book, How To Be A Baws. Since she has 14M subscribers at the moment, it’s likely to believe that she has found her readers.

If you want to make money on YouTube as well, the first thing you need to do is to create an account. You can also use your existing one. Think of a catchy name for it. It can be your real name or nickname. It can also be something funny and useless, and that is easy to remember.

At first, you will need to make a plan for what you are going to show. It should be interesting so that not only your mom will watch your videos.

There should be a topic you can talk about for hours. Some people like speaking about themselves in their videos. There is nothing wrong with that as well.

How do you find your subscribers?

• Share your videos on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Ask your friends to share your content on their Fb profiles as well.

• Subscribe to other YouTubers who make videos on the same topic. Comment under their videos and invite people to check your Youtube profile.

• Interact with people who leave comments below your videos. Give them to understand that they are important to you.

• Use keywords and describe your video.

• Upload video regularly. It shouldn’t be just once a year thing.

• Ask people what they want you to show.

Once you have your audience, you can start making money as a YouTuber. To do so, you need to click the link “Video Manager” and find there an option to enable monetization for your channel. You can check your estimated earnings and ad performance once you click on the Analytics link.
