How do I make money on YouTube?
The opinions shared in this post are solely mine. I’m a YouTube content creator who thought she would earn thousands of dollars from uploading videos to the YouTube platform. However, becoming a YouTube sensation did not happen for me. What did happen? Eventually, organically and naturally, I figured out how to produce better-quality videos discussing topics that people found interesting and offered value. Instead of creating several YouTube channels, I decided to focus on one channel, and now I reach the $100 minimum payout at the end of each month. The money I earn from YouTube is not life-changing, but each month, I earn a little more than the previous month. I’m finally there, and the money I earn does help me financially.
Inside view of my YouTube Studio
Thinking that earning money from a YouTube channel is easy is a misconception. It is not easy for everyone to earn thousands of dollars each month as a YouTube creator. However, starting a YouTube channel can help you cross-promote your websites or use the platform as an influencer to sell products. It works. But for someone like me, it took me years to earn enough money each month to reach the $100.00 minimum monthly payout. As of writing this article, I average $120.00 to $140.00 each month. Not so bad for an average YouTuber.
I can suggest a few tips to help you jumpstart a YouTube channel.
1: Don’t overthink how you will sound and look on video. Just start recording to upload.
2: Don’t overspend on products to produce videos. Use what you have at your disposal. Use the YouTube app and iMovie on your phone.
3: Your YouTube channel doesn’t need to talk about one specific topic. Create Playlists and title each Playlist to match a topic.
4: Before buying advertising to promote your channel, let your channel grow organically.
I have yet to pay money to grow my channel, but eventually, I will do what most do to kickstart their channels. I will soon pay to advertise my channel, and I believe once I do, my channel’s subscriber number will quadruple. The more subscribers and followers a YouTube channel has, the more money the channel can generate. I’m getting ready to do just that.
I’ll continue to upload videos speaking about many different topics. I’ll also continue to perfect my editing skills to produce videos that keep people interested in watching what I have to share. Regularly uploading videos to keep subscribers interested in what you have to share is a challenge. Not all topics shared are timeless. Here is one more tip to help keep subscribers coming back to watch and gain new subscribers. The more timeless topic videos you upload can earn you money for many years. Examples of timeless topics are cooking, recipes, sketching, art, DIY handiwork, and gardening to list a handful.
Don’t worry about being perfect on video. Take your time, be creative, and be yourself. Before you know it, you will gradually attract followers and grow dedicated subscribers. The more you record and upload videos, the better you will get. I’m not great, nor am I a viral sensation. However, I use YouTube to cross-promote and earn extra income passively from my efforts and have gotten pretty good at it. I’m not the best, and I’m not the worst. The videos I upload earn me residual income from the ads broadcasted on my YouTube channel, and the cross-promoting directs people to my websites and Affiliate links.
