Wow! So This Is HOW MUCH A Youtuber Earns!

Do you ever wonder how much money a Youtuber makes? 

You see those videos of people pulling friendly pranks, buying expensive stuff, going places to places, or even doing boring stuff and perhaps, you are curious as to how they make a living just by doing fun in front of the camera. 

Below, we will discuss the ways you can monetize your channel. We break down the different methods a Youtuber uses to earn thousands of dollars per video they upload. Whether your channel is about gaming or food or you are a luxury fashion influencer, these ways to make money are applicable for everyone!

The average YouTuber earns $18 for every 1,000 advertisement views. That comes out to be around $3 to $5 per thousand video views. Ad income obviously varies based on channel popularity, but this should give you a general idea of what it would take to make a living off YouTube. 

You can sign your channel up to Google Adsense and it will take charge of what ads your video will show. YouTube and Google Adsense have different payment terms that they update frequently, so you need to stay on top of their policies. It's also important to know that you can't cash out your earnings until they total $100.

You must be 18 years old (or have a legal guardian that is at least 18 years old) to start earning money from ads on YouTube. Also, your channel must have 4,000 hours of watch time within the past 12 months and must have at least 1,000 subscribers.

The only time sponsorships will be profitable is when you have a wide reach. How many sponsorships you're able to get will depend on how large your platform is and the value of your audience. Sponsored videos and mentions are the two most popular types of content among YouTubers, who earn $10-$50 per 1,000 views on average.

If your niche is fashion, you can design shirts and sell them through your website or shopify store. If you’re into cooking, you can create a cookbook and sell it as a digital ebook on Amazon.  If you have constructed a devoted following on YouTube, then odds are your fans would purchase merchandise from you. By selling products that speak to them, you can generate revenue from your YouTube channel. Before you decide to sell merchandise, carefully consider your target audience and how many people are actually following you.

This is almost similar to sponsorships. However, Youtubers make money when someone purchases through the link they provide on the description box. They use the item usually in the video, enticing the audience to buy the same, and leave a clickable affiliate link in the comments section or the description box. 

YouTubers can make a lot of money, but is becoming one the right career for you? If you are passionate about creating original content and you actually enjoy the process of creating scripts and editing videos, then it may be worth pursuing. With a great idea and some luck, you too could find success on YouTube.

But first, think of a marketable niche! Good luck!
