 Jake Paul look Jake Paul got 21 and a half million dollars in ad revenue last year He's got 19.7 million subscribers. Holy crap. How to start a YouTube channel for profit guys You want you want to be a celebrity you want to make money? Whatever YouTube is there I just got finished reading the Ford to Darrell eaves book about YouTube and it was written by mr. Beast And he said he said in there you're an idiot you're an idiot if you don't have a YouTube channel That's it hands down. You're an idiot because it's free. You can start a YouTube channel and make money. This is crazy Now I will tell you how to do this in this video So you want to stick around and I would have show you how to make money with your YouTube channel? Okay? Let's go back to this list. I this blows my mind Ryan's world $22 million last year in ad revenue Jake Paul 21 and a half million dude. Perfect 20 million dollars Dan TDM. I knew that is 18.5 million Jeffrey star 18 Million. I mean this is craziness if you're not participating and you don't have a YouTube channel Why the hell not? Why don't you have one? Okay? First, let's talk about how YouTube works You don't get paid for uploading videos to YouTube. No, that's not how it works But there's so many other ways to make money some of those incomes I showed you there that that is Advertising and merchandise and all the stuff they got going on You can make money right away on YouTube without getting monetized and why is that so important? Well, because it takes time to get monetized You're gonna need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time to even get monetized and to share in that ad revenue So don't expect that to happen right off the bat So what do you do? You look at other ways to make money with your videos because YouTube doesn't pay you for just uploading videos Now once you start making videos you need to start looking at the age the demographics Where these people live all of the data of the people watching your videos all this is inside your YouTube channel Now I've already told you the one way to make money on YouTube and that's becoming a partner But once again, you're gonna need a thousand subscribers and 4,000 hours of lunch time It's not gonna happen right away So that can't be at the top of your list it can be on your list But it can be at the top of your list now you want to be careful when you're building your YouTube channel There's that temptation where you want to do things that are really kind of crazy to get people to watch your videos But if you go over the line, it's gonna hurt you if you have profanity if you have nudity If you have any of these things violence any of these things on your YouTube videos You're not gonna get monetized and if you do get monetized you could lose your channel So make sure that you don't try to go over the top trying to get subscribers Now number two is you can sell products or merchandise below your YouTube video You can actually put links to different products. You're selling. Maybe you're doing reviews on products You can put the links down there. Maybe you have a course that you're selling You can put the link down there all of this is allowed under YouTube's terms and conditions now You do want to be careful though You don't want to drive all your traffic away from your channel immediately because if you do that YouTube's gonna see that They're not gonna show your videos to other people So in the very beginning you just got to get some content out there and then you can start putting the products in your descriptions Now here is Roman Atwood. He sells a variety of merchandise at his store under the smile more brand Selling branded swag is easier than it might seem at first Your audience wants to kind of connect with you and the best way to do that is through branded merchandise That has something to do with your channel or your ideas or what you're doing number three You can let your audience support you through crowdfunding There's a little known thing called patreon and you can set that up and people will actually pay you monthly Let me put a graphic up on the screen right now And this is a screen of weight, but why okay? So this guy's getting Funding from his audience here. So for a dollar a month you get to be on board You know how sometimes somebody says they're on some advisory board and they sound fancy Well for a dollar a month you can say you're on board You can join the inner circle email list in which they're going to give you some emails and some information about it Then they've got a three dollar a month Three that threes a crowd it says here don't know what it means But it was famous saying involving the number three So I ran with it in any case for the price of a cup of coffee in New York at least a month Your pledge will add up to a very meaningful amount over the course of a year I don't see that you get anything more for that, but that's what he's charging Then you got five dollars here all Chinese emperors can read WBW for free because of you more than one million people visit WBW each month and if each of them pledged just a penny just a penny would hit our goal None of the 494 emperors and Chiners History have pledged anything but your monthly pledge has them all covered So I know that sounds silly and it doesn't sound like you're you're getting a lot for your money But people buy into this. He's got if you look on the screen here 4,310 patreons, okay, you know if everybody's at three dollars He's got what 12 almost 13 thousand dollars coming in right there. Okay. That is craziness But that's how it works now YouTube also has a thing called super chat So if you go live People can actually donate money to have their comment pinned to the top or to put a little Emoji in there something along those lines and if you just mention that in your lives, you can earn money now Another thing you can do is actually License your content of that actual media now if you've created some content that goes viral It's kind of funny and here's an example right here This lady here was had this like helmet thing on and Chewbacca and it went crazy. She actually licensed this There's marketplaces out there. There's news outlets morning shows online things that need some viral Content so if you do have a video like that, you may want to check into this and see about Licensing your media next thing you want to do is reach out to brands and be a brand Ambassador for them do videos do content and talk about their products now Not only can you do a video about a product many of these brands will pay you? If you've got an audience to just talk about their product It's cheaper to pay you five hundred or a thousand or two thousand dollars To get you to talk about their product and it is for them to go out and buy ads and they're not even targeting anybody in those ads They don't even know where those ads come from but when you have a channel you have a set audience now This channel is monetized right now And I pretty much talk about how to make money online and how you're gonna make money online and the CPM Per thousand views on my channel right now is around forty dollars, which is crazy high I mean, you know some channels are only five or six dollars But since my audience is the type of people that want to make money online and start businesses There are there are worth more to these advertisers and I get a percentage of that every single month, which is really nice Okay, so once you do get some subscribers, let's say a thousand you can join a Site like this one here, which is grapevine village grapevine village. You only need 1,000 subscribers to join and you can make money It's one of the most popular influencer marketplaces and you only need like I said a thousand followers to join There's also another one called fame bit with a wide range of brands to work with you might find a sponsorship opportunity You'll be proud to be part of you need five thousand followers to join fame bit You could also check out crowd tap You don't have any minimum number of subscribers and you can make money for different brands on crowd tap also now The next thing I want to tell you about is affiliate marketing now affiliate marketing is where in the description itself And I have this one all my videos. You can look down and see it There's links to different products in there most of them are Amazon links and when somebody clicks on one of those links and they go to Amazon and they buy a product I get a percentage now What if they go to Amazon and they don't buy that product, but they buy another product? I still get a percentage for a certain period of time. I think it's like 48 hours something like that I don't know what it is doesn't matter the point is if they even go there and they've been cookie by using your link You're still gonna get paid now I don't generate a ton of money a month off that but it's extra money every single month And you got to understand all these different streams of income can be earned on YouTube But that's why you have to have a YouTube channel I mean as an individual yes, but as a business it's insane not to have one. It's free Why would you pay for advertising someplace else when you could actually target the people right there on YouTube? Now some interesting facts about this when people are watching tv And this is where most ads are put but they're starting to slowly go over to digital advertising But when somebody's watching tv and a commercial comes on, what does everybody do? Especially, you know, if they're younger they grab their phone right they grab their phone and they start playing on their phone Now When they do that are they watching the ad the answer is no they're not watching the ad okay But on youtube when they're watching youtube videos, which most people do on their phones and an ad comes on Guess what they have no choice because they don't have another phone They can just go pick up and grab and start doing something else with they've got to sit through that ad The people that watch youtube ads are three times less likely to click off the ad than people who watch tv Where should you be youtube now? I get it you you you're doing videos and you don't want to be a sell out Okay, you don't want to be selling products on your youtube channel, but you know what it's okay This has been done for years from celebrities and popular people and you know people in the news They've done this for years. They've used their branded face their personality that type of thing The only thing I would tell you is you don't want to back a product that you don't really believe in that you Don't really care about but it's okay for you to make a living It is okay for you to do that. Will you get some you know kickback? Yeah, you're going to get some kickback, but bottom line is you know, I tell my audience, you know I'm literally here to make money. That's why I'm here to make money. And if I make money I teach you how to make money. So, you know, why wouldn't I do that? It only makes sense Now a few other things I want to tell you while you're working on this youtube channel I've showed you some ways you can profit from it. I'm giving you some websites to go to But I will tell you you need to build your channel your audience Does not have the level of knowledge you do So if you want people to like a lot of your videos, guess what you have to do You gotta tell them to like your videos. That's what you need to do right now. Go down there and click that like Okay, you got to do that. That's really important. That helps my channel and I'm going to ask you to do it But if you're not asking in your videos for people to like your videos, guess what they won't do it They don't think about it. It's not at the top of their mind to like your videos Like it is for you right now because you just like my video and I appreciate that Also, you if you want subscribers, how do you get them number one way to get subscribers is You ask them to subscribe like I'm doing right now if that button down there is red Do me a favor and click it and turn it gray. That means you subscribe But that's not all you got to do something else. You're going to turn on all notifications now notifications Notifications is really important because if you don't have notifications turned on the people who are subscribed to your channel Won't know when you upload a video they won't know when you went live So it's really important to tell them to ring that bell also That way those people who are subscribed can come back watch your videos watch your live and you can build your channel Now the next fear is that you're going to make some bad videos. Don't worry about that You will you will make bad videos if you go back and look at my first videos Which I don't want you to do but if you were to do that you would go back and go Oh my god, those are horrible videos. That's really bad jr And all you got to do is to go to a channel Click on their videos Click on sort by and then sort by the oldest video and you'll see the first video they uploaded as a matter of fact I was just reading what mr. B said and he said that in his first year who mr B is one of the biggest people you know on the planet as far as youtube goes But he said in his first year he only got 40 subscribers and he says because he did 100 videos They were all terrible and yours will be too But you've got to get through them and as you get through them go back and look at them and think about how you could improve those videos What could you do different? What could you do more to make those videos better? And over time you'll get there if you're looking to make money, you know off subscriptions and that type of thing And uh monetization in six months. It's probably not going to happen. You probably won't get monetized You know, maybe even in your first year, but you can make money There are things you can do that. I just went over in this video that will help make you money I hope you enjoyed this video. Don't forget like I said to subscribe.
