Making Money From YouTube and Blogging

 Making Money From YouTube and Blogging

As I was talking about before, I think there’s a lot of incentives, not just for YouTube content creators to think about those topics. I believe there are reasons behind how they make money, and I’m going to go over each one. Let’s start off with the most obvious one.

Top selling individuals and teams on YouTube make money by making their videos widely known. Sure, some YouTube channel creators will just do their content and hope to make money, but not all. If you don’t know anything about this, it’s because you’re not a YouTube creator! (Everyone make money and they do it. I’m not sharing any startups or websites. Find your channel and follow the trends instead).

Unlimited revenue… just like a YouTube user’s allowance to watch videos, it can also be purchased in iTunes. You’re allowed to make your videos available to other people, but it’s up to YouTube to decide when that monetization happens.

Earn fees by sharing in dollars earned from advertisements that you are chosen by. Think of this as your own small startup company. YouTube makes revenue through allowing you to create videos with an app of your choice. It’s possible, and there are many choices to choose from. You can advertise your content in your favorite apps and video platforms as well. YouTube has become such a great company, I think YouTube has the ability to control the distribution of their content. Once YouTube catches on to a certain trend, they typically choose to monetize it themselves. You won’t just get your viewers to watch your videos, you’ll get money, or they will choose to not share revenue with you.

YouTube monetizes content from users whose videos are longer than 30 seconds, because there’s the demand for this content. There’s also the interest and awareness of consumers for longer videos on YouTube. They can charge advertisers higher prices, which means they’ll generate more revenue.

And finally, video editors earn money by charging viewers to watch their videos. People often ask me “Why would anybody watch such type of short videos?” They’re like Munch on their wrists because some people of them are really funny, but others some aren’t funny, even if you’re a die hard YouTube viewer. You have to click through and watch everything that is there to see a part of your favorite piece of content. The sweet thing about this type of monetization is that YouTube authors will earn money from watch-and-replay views as well.

I’ve mentioned all of these before, but the opportunity to earn money and share ideas with other users was really interesting. This has made me want to talk about writing on YouTube and doing podcasts like this.

With blogs, there’s different types of promotion. You have your readers, which include people you have never met before. There are also people who will follow your work (almost a “real life influencer”), and then there are “fake” or people who can sit at home and talk about their experiences for no reason. There are multiple types of people, and I hope they are on a bit of an excursion somewhere besides YouTube or Twitter, since I’m not talking about illegal activity.

I hope that we’ve sparked some interest for this topic, because I love the idea of people sharing their ideas, and from there, I’m hoping more people will do it in the way I have.
