Even with the massive success of video services like Vimeo, DailyMotion, and IGTV, Youtube still reigns supreme when it comes to popularity. In fact, Youtube’s success was noteworthy enough for Google to purchase the juggernaut in 2006, which only caused Youtube to overshadow its competition even further. Google can and has easily pushed traffic to its own services without the angry eye from its users. Google’s dominion over Youtube has attracted content creators of all ages and skill levels, which begs the question:
How much money do Youtubers actually make?

How do Youtubers make money?

There are many ways to make money with original video content. Not all methods are available to every content creator and these methods mainly rely on your audience’s interest and engagement.

Do users follow you? Do they engage with your material with likes, comments, and shares? Is your video interesting enough to keep them from skipping ahead?

These are all valid concerns that Youtube, and by extension, Google cares most about. If successful, you’ll be able to start applying the following methods or more:

• Placement of video products and specific brand mentions
• Acquiring the status of a permanent brand ambassador
• Incorporating affiliate marketing links into video content and descriptions
• Selling products online to your loyal fanbase
• Gaining additional revenue streams by integrating with other successful platforms like Instagram/TikTok
