For many people who make videos,
the chance to make money on YouTube is the holy grail. It's easy to see why
when people like Todrick Hall and Justin Bieber do well. Some people can become
famous because of what they post on YouTube. More often than not, it can turn
into a way to make cash doing something you enjoy.
But even though making a channel and uploading videos is easy, it's not always easy to make money on YouTube. With complicated ways to make money and an algorithm constantly changing, it can feel impossible to make as much money as possible. This article explains in detail eight ways to make money on YouTube.
Get familiar with Adsense.
Most people who want to know how to make money on YouTube start learning about Google Adsense. Google Adsense is an advertising program that lets people make money on YouTube by allowing ads to play during their videos. It's tough to say how much cash you'll make, but we know that views and subscribers will play a significant role.
For instance, if your best-performing video got 5,000 views in a month and 1% of those people clicked on an ad, your payout equals the number of ad clicks times how much the advertiser bid. You got 50 clicks in this situation. If an advertising company bids 25 cents per click, you'll get about $12.50 from them.
It's not easy to make much money on YouTube except if your channel gets many views every month, like hundreds of thousands. With 45 percent of ad revenue going to Google, content producers only get to keep about half of the money their videos make. In other words, the $12.50 payout is closer to $6.87.
Join YouTube as a partner.
You must join the YouTube Partnership Program before using Google Adsense. To qualify, you must:
●
Follow
YouTube's rules for making money from your videos.
●
Live in a
country or region that is taking part.
●
Have 1,000
subscribers and at least 4,000 watch hours.
● Link your YouTube channel to an Adsense account (s)
It will take the most work to get subscribers and watch hours if you're starting, but you'll also want to ensure your channel follows YouTube's rules and policies. YouTube uses both people and automated processes to review applications, which can start taking up to a month. If you don't get into the program on your first try, you have to wait 30 days before you can try again.
Write sponsored content.
Leveraging is the key to making influencer marketing work. In general, if you have a decent-sized audience and pertinent, advertiser-friendly content, you're in a much better position to partner with brands willing to pay top dollar eventually. Here are five pieces of information and instructions to get sponsors on YouTube, according to Video Influencer marketing, a channel that helps content creators gain influence and make money:
●
Reach out: Don't wait for companies or brands to contact you. Find the brands
and companies that might be interested in working with you. Don't just think
big at first; you may do better with smaller or local businesses.
● Niche down and brand up: When sponsors visit your conduit, it should be obvious what you're about and what type of content you're making. Give potential sponsors an easy way to see if they are a good fit by having a clear niche and branding that goes with it.
●
Networking: Sometimes, the difference between not getting sponsored and getting
sponsored is as simple as being there, whether sending emails or interacting
with a brand's social media. Keep in touch all year long to stay in people's
minds.
●
Sponsorship marketplaces: Websites like Grapevine connect brands with
content creators eligible to work with them. To get different brand deals and
sponsorship opportunities on Grapevine, you'll need to have at least 2,000
subscribers. On similar sites, eligibility may vary.
● Work on your content: The best way to get deals and sponsorships from brands is to develop a channel with which brands want to work. Even though it can take years to get premium deals, a medium in its early stages that has a strong brand can still profit from things like free products.
Create channel memberships and sell them.
One of the best ways to make recurring money on YouTube is through channel memberships. With channel memberships, viewers who "join" your channel pay a monthly fee to get benefits like badges, emojis, and early access to exclusive content. To make and sell channel memberships, you must meet specific requirements, just like with the YouTube Partner Program:
●
You are
part of the YouTube Associate Program.
●
You have
had more than 1,000 people on your list.
●
You live in
a country or region that is taking part.
●
Your
channel is not set up for children.
●
You follow
YouTube's rules and regulations.
● Your channel doesn't have a lot of videos that can't be used.
How much you charge for subscriptions will depend on how many people want them and how unique the benefits are. For example, does your focus strategy lend itself to gated Q&A sessions, where only members can participate during a live stream? Save these valuable perks for the most expensive membership tiers and give badges and emojis to people who pay the least.
Sell goods or products.
If your channel is popular, you will want to earn cash outside of YouTube at some point. The best way to sell goods or services is to have a group of loyal followers already. You can make money and get to know your audience better by selling branded items like coffee mugs and sweatshirts.
Best of all, if you have a lot of followers, your channel can work like a referring engine that drives people to your store repeatedly. YouTube's merch shelf feature lets you sell your products directly on video pages, but you need at least 10,000 subscriptions on a non-music, not-for-profit channel to be able to use it.
A simple link to your website, which is the easiest choice, can also do the job. Frank James, a comedian interested in the Myers-Briggs personality test, puts a link to his shop in each video description.
Make money from your videos beyond YouTube.
The most significant problem for people who want to make money through YouTube is that they don't have much control over the things that affect monetization. YouTube may decide to stop making money off of your content. Even if that doesn't happen, you're still at the tender mercies of its method when appearing in user feed ingredients and search results.READ ALSO...
