Making Money on YouTube

Guest post by: Anthony Mora

Article Overview: Although considering the number of YouTube videos posted, few are getting rich, some have quit their day jobs and are full time YouTubers, still others have hit the big time. For videos and YouTube channels that generate a real buzz and drive traffic, the rewards can be amazing. Not only do these YouTube stars generate a following and various money streams, many establish themselves as personalities. By passing the traditional star making machine these trailblazers have been able to create their own opportunities.

Making Money on YouTube

Ten independent YouTube stars made over $100,000 in 2010. That is the finding of a study done by TubeMogul. By independent they mean YouTubers who were not part of a traditional media company or corporate campaign. A prime example is Natalie Tran, who is reportedly the most subscribed to YouTube user in Australia and is said to bring in over $100,000 from her YouTube video postings. An article in the New York Post reports that some YouTube partners are making over $1 million from their efforts. How? It varies. There are a few potential revenue avenues for YouTube entrepreneurs. These include banner ads, pre-roll and overlay ads sponsorship and merchandise sales. Some YouTubers have sponsors, but for most, revenue comes from banner ads placed near their videos. YouTube splits its ad revenue with partners 50-50. And although it's an incremental process, it's amazing how much some are generating from their banner ads.

Few are getting rich, but some have quit their day jobs and are full time YouTubers, and others have hit the big time. For videos and YouTube channels that generate a real buzz and drive traffic, the rewards can be amazing. Not only do these YouTube stars generate a following and various money streams, many establish themselves as personalities. By passing the traditional star making machine these trailblazers have been able to create their own opportunities. Not only are they establishing themselves via YouTube and generating various cash flow streams, many of these are crossing over from the net to more traditional media outlets establishing themselves in print, film, CDs, and TV. Welcome to the new star making machine.

Making Money in 2011 - Hello forum members! As we draw closer to the new year I thought it would be appropriate to change the title of our forum category "Making Money in 2010" to "Making Money in 2011" - I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions and wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
Re: Social Media & Digg, Google, MySpace, and YouTube - I use Google a lot for analysis and such. I recently started marketing through YouTube, and I like it a lot. Making videos is fun and enjoyable for me. I got a client who found me on YouTube and have been working together for a while now, so that's awesome. I just created a Facebook account a couple of days ago, so I'm just starting to market with it. StumpleUpon is another great site that can help benefit your website and rankings. I haven't ever heard of Ning before. I'll have to check that one out. All social sites are a great way to network and grow your business. Alan

Re: UPDATES: New Campaign! New Layout! New Ideas! - [quote="Ringo So":2696kbgu]Trent - It's actually a sub-forum within the "Making Money in 2010" category. Please let me know if there are any troubles finding it.[/quote:2696kbgu] Nope, still don't see it. I see the Online Businesses forum but that has been there for a long time. Is that what you mean? I don't see any Internet Marketing section.
YouTube expands to 9 nations with Google's help - That's amazing! Although, with all the money Google spent on buying YouTube I guess it's not much of a surprise that Google is putting such an effort on making YouTube even more of a success. I personally don't like it though, they are really cracking down on the content people are allowed to post on YouTube due to copyright reasons.
