 You probably know that YouTube can be a career if you play your cards right, but it can be hard to get there. Today, Mike's coming at you with ways to turn YouTube views into dollar signs. What is up everyone? My name is Estie Mike and today we're going to talk about building your brand into a business. As we discussed before, it's not smart to rely solely on ad revenue to make a living. You should try to find ways to outsource your work to make extra money. The other day my friend Tim made a really good video that covers making your own revenue model to make extra money per view. It's titled How to Quickly Make 120 Times More Money on YouTube. Basically the gist of it, the average person makes $2.50 per thousand views, but if you convert 10% into sales, you can make much more than ad rev. If you'd like to see the full video, I'll link it in the description below. But this got me thinking about myself and what I'm doing. Tim's examples are great if you have a channel tailored towards selling stuff. However, some of our viewers aren't there to buy, they're just there to watch. So let's say we don't dream so high. Instead of converting 10% of the thousand views, let's say we can convert 1%. Which means one person for every thousand views buys something. And let's not make it a lot of money either, let's say it's simply $2.50 profit. If one person for every thousand views spends $2.50 on you, that means you have completely doubled your money. So by occasionally selling something, we're making twice as much money as we did before. So think about this and think about how it can apply to you. Whether you sell ebooks, graphics, music, or shirts, there's something out there for everyone. And if you personally don't have anything to sell, then you can look into a sponsor for your channel. Not a sponsor will give you free energy drinks every month, but a sponsor that will give you commission of the sales that you make. Typically the commission's about 10% to 15% per sale, which would normally add up to at least $2.50. By working with a company that you love and actually like the product of, then you can start doubling your money if not more. Now of course you don't want to shove sales down your viewers' throats. But if this is something that complements your channel or you just simply plug in every so often, then it can actually work towards your favor. Now keep in mind you only have to convert one person out of 1,000 people to double your profits. So each extra sale you get or each extra penny you charge, you're going to start making more and more. So anyways guys that's it for me today, I hope this helped you start thinking about your brand differently.
