Title: Youtube income
Post by: purple monkey on January 01, 2017, 04:03:51 PM

Hello,

I am thinking of posting to youtube and just connecting and maybe having enough views to make money.

I have some original ideas that will help many and think I can get a lot of views.

Any thoughts from you all?

Post first, then add subscriptions?
TIA

I saw this recently. Basically, you need a huge amount of views.

Try it and see.  It's a specialized case of blogging, which can certainly create income, but most people don't make much from it.

The YouTube superstars are rare - and I believe you have to have an awful lot of page views to even monetize the content in the first place.

Some people use patreon in order to support youtubing.

Before you even think about making any type of money, you need to have the views, and not a single viral video, but at least 25k views a week. That would get you around 1000-4000 bucks a year.... Once you start get get some ads going.

A short simple way of viewing youtube money is 1mil views = 2000$
