The top earners on YouTube in 2016 are all millionaires. How exactly are ordinary people making serious money online without a website? Simple. By uploading and monetizing YouTube videos.
YouTube Ads
Two popular ways to make money with YouTube videos include ads and sponsored videos. Ad revenue is as easy as connecting Google Adsense with YouTube. If you don't have a Google Adsense account, you can sign up for one for free. With Adsense, you'll earn a set amount for each 1,000 views your videos receive.
As you grow your YouTube audience, you may be invited to join a Multi-channel Network and the YouTube Partner Program. This offers additional promotions and ad revenue opportunities that can turn into some serious money made without a website.
Don't forget about the possibility of affiliate sales on YouTube. Channels that focus on product reviews are perfect platforms for affiliate marketing. In fact, some people make all of their online income through affiliate sales.
YouTube Channels that Earn
Intrigued by making money online without a website by using YouTube? Some popular channel ideas include:
Vlogging Video blogging =Vlogging. It's just like a traditional blog but you are making video entries instead of written ones. You can vlog about whatever you'd like current events, musings, motherhood, personal finance, etc. Vlogging is the easiest way to get started since you don't need anything more than a webcam and your own thoughts!
Product Reviews As I mentioned, product review channels are easily monetized with ads and affiliate links. If you become popular enough, companies may even pay you to review their products in a sponsored video.
How-tos Tutorials Millions of viewers turn to YouTube each month to learn how to do everything from makeup contouring to installing a hot water heater. If you're creative, handy, or a subject-matter expert you can make money with informational videos that share your knowledge with others.
Cooking Do you have some serious culinary skills? Show them off on YouTube and get paid for doing something you enjoy. Cooking channels can be super niche like vegan paleo recipes or tackle cooking with specific instruments like grills or slow cookers.
Music If you've got some singing chops or can play any instruments, consider launching your music career on YouTube (Justin Bieber was discovered this way).
