When you think of making money online through YouTube, you probably think of becoming a YouTuber. That tends to have the connotation that you will become an active content creator, shoot a lot of videos, and probably build a large audience/followers for your brand.
This is a great lifestyle that allows you to earn money doing something you love, while enjoying a modicum of genuine fame. It’s a lot of work and requires a lot of skill, but it’s also almost definitely worth it.
But that’s not the only way to make money with YouTube. Actually, YouTube can be set up as a very nice passive income model that will generate income even while you are resting. You can practically automate this money-making system and find that it’s still amazingly profitable. Read on to learn.
Maximum Income, Minimum Investment
YouTubers can earn money in a number of different ways. They make money by advertising their own products and affiliate products, for example, but they also make money from PPC ads. These are pay-per-click ads, so every time someone clicks on an ad or views it in full, you get a small amount of cash.
But while that number is small, if you can rack up thousands of views per day, then it starts to add up. If you have a YouTube video that ranks #1 for a very popular search term, then you can potentially earn hundreds of dollars per day.
And if that content is evergreen, then there’s no reason why that video can’t continue to make money for a long time.
Better yet, when you consider that you can probably make and edit a great video in a few hours, there’s nothing stopping you from repeating the formula over and over again until you eventually make hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.
Yes, it really is that simple, but here are a couple of tips to help make sure you use precisely the right strategy!
Quality and Brevity
When you make your videos, think about equality, not quantity. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t make a lot of videos, just that they shouldn’t be too long. In fact, Google encourages YouTube creators to keep their videos to around 3 minutes, as this will increase the number of full views and thus increase revenue.
What’s more, though, is that making your videos shorter means you can make more videos in a shorter period of time and then have more content to upload that will get multiple views. That way, you can take a few days off from your regular job, shoot a few short videos, and then upload them all to make a huge income.
It sounds easy and it really is, as long as you’re making those high-quality videos (which need the right equipment and good editing) and as long as the videos are in a popular niche.
