Why aren't you creating different channels? Hell you don't even have to show your face. Just go to the damn store buy some Paw Patrol toys and do some adventures with them. 10K times 12 months is over a million fam.

I've often wondered how people make money off YouTube and what metrics matter, what you have to do once you get subscribers and lots of views, etc.

You get paid based on ads. Typically your vids will have 3 or 5 ads based on what you setup. If people click ads and even buy you get more money. I'm gonna do multiple channels soon. This is easy passive income without mass editing too.

I see that with a lot of the channels my son watches. Some of these people have like four or five different channels, presumably so they can get people to subscribe to all of them and turn 1 person into 5 subs. It's pretty smart

I'm starting a channel next year once I get my dog. Everyone loves watching puppies grow especially a GSD. Plus I'll inform people on my training progess.

And I'll talk about wealth eventually and being a landlord.

Consistency is key. I'll upload 1 video every week. It could take 1 or 2 years to finally see big numbers. Then once in a while I'll do like free giveaways. People love those. Like legit buy someone a PS5.

It'll be like a diary type. And I can show people eventually me buying cool crap that I don't really care about like an expensive watch.

Oh yeah if the passive income is really good. I plan on quitting my 9 to 5 job. I'll still have money coming in being a landlord plus I can look in dividends. Long as I remember to not divide by 0.

speaking purely financially thats about ten thousand percent more feasible than making significant money off youtube.

Actually if not for the fact tc would probly post here about selling crack its genuinely a better plan all around.

Do youtube if you want to. Dont do it thinking youre gonna make money. Especially in 2020. You missed the boat bud.

I've seen that happen quite a few times. Even if they have different aliases, because it's basically the exact same recycled shit.

Especially so if they literally have the exact same watermark on all their different channels, too.

Like those vine channels. Those aren't fucking vines.

Playing video games on channels is dead, that was only chic in 2010. Only the oldbies can just play casual and get millions of subs.

Unless you're a world elite speedrunner.

I'll ask my GSD between 2 games which it likes better by pointing to it. Then I'll ask people if they agree with her. I should reach a million subs in 3 months by making the dog be involved in games like that.

5 years ago or so, the ad revenue was super generous. I uploaded a few SF4 tournament footage, and got $200 in a week

How many views? And subs? You probably aren't posting often to attract new clients.

the rate was about $1 for 1000 views. So, 200,000 total views will net you about $200. Of course, this all depends on whether or not your viewer base majority has adblock or not

Sub count didn't contributed to ad revenue

I was making $150 a month from just doing Madden and NBA 2K vids but just didn't have the commitment to keep doing it or try to get more viewers to make more money. Madden sucking so much played a part but I kinda stopped playing video games all together.

I saw a reddit success story though. Jomboy went from a nobody to famous due to his commitment to posting baseball videos.

I've made YouTube videos in the past, but my biggest problem is I'm a very laid back person IRL. When I try to sound excited or high-energy, it comes off very fake. On YouTube you pretty much have to be excited or high energy in order to have a profitable channel.

did you talk/do commentary over your vids? Or was it raw footage? Cuz I wouldnt mind putting gameplay vids or other content up but Im too lazy to add bells and whistles on top of that.

I would be surprised if anyone is making money off videos without some sort of commentary or humor over it

This is a VERY good point. In order to have a successful channel, you need something somewhat original at the very least. Pretty much everything has been done.
