seriously thinking about making YouTube
your main source of income where should
you start what are the steps to success
don't worry we've got you covered the
first thing you have to do is of course
start your own channel if you haven't
already the magic of YouTube is that
your channel can be about almost
anything you can make short and
meaningful cartoons sing or share your
lifestyle the options are endless
your YouTube account is basically the
same as your Google account and you can
either use it as it is or create a new
one it's better to choose your username
carefully because the more complicated
it is the less chance there is that
you'll make it big it should be
something easy and memorable so that
people won't be saying I saw a cool
video on that channel gosh don't
remember the name anyway if your current
user name is just not working for you
that's not a problem simply change it on
your Google+ account and you're good to
go
the more people that find your channel
the better so don't forget to add
keywords connected to your content in
the Advanced section of your channel
settings ok now that you finally have a
YouTube channel it's time to work on
your content and upload it you have to
find your own topics and discover your
unique style try not to make your videos
too long and always make sure that your
audience won't get boring you want them
to keep being intrigued by every second
of it
of course nothing happens right away and
your videos and their quality will grow
with you just watch a couple of the very
first videos by popular youtubers
they're not exactly as amazing as what
they do now right well try to upgrade
your content buy a better camera use
better editing software and so on the
key thing however is to post videos
regularly if you only post videos once
or twice a month your audience can
quickly forget about your channel if
it's not some one of a kind content so
try to keep a pace of at least one video
a week this way people will be waiting
impatiently for the next week to find
out what your new video will be and
don't forget about tags and keywords
make sure everyone who's interested in
the topic can find your videos and this
is where it all begins you can monetize
your content and make money from your
videos just go to my channel click on

if you're younger than 18 years old ask
your mom and dad to help you Adsense
will need a PayPal account or valid
address to know who you are
and who to send the money to another
important thing for any youtuber or
blogger is analytics it's basically your
feedback along with the comments to help
you learn which topics really resonate
with your audience and vice-versa
every youtuber checks it regularly so if
you're still building your audience pay
attention to those numbers and grass
they can tell you pretty much anything
about your viewers and subscribers and
give you ideas on how to improve and if
one of your videos happen to go viral
there's also a way to get your dose of
profit from it simply speaking you can
license your content in exchange for
money now TV news media outlets and
other creators will have to reach out to
you for the rights to use your video ok
let's say that you have a good steady
audience and are earning a nice amount
of money can you do anything else to
step it up a little bit sure just become
a YouTube partner for this you'll need
to meet another requirement 15,000
cumulative watch hours for your channel
over the last 90 days when you achieve
that go to the YouTube Partner page do a
couple of clicks and voila there are
other great additions to this title as
well YouTube partners have access to
more creation tools community support
and tips and can even win prizes not bad
right you can also start selling your
own merchandise once your channel starts
to become more prominent of course this
takes even more effort and work but it's
incredibly rewarding for both the
excitement of your subscribers and let's
be honest your bank account and with
cool merch you can get even more
subscribers as people will ask others
where they got such cool stuff more
people will check out what you're all
about then become part of your audience
there are tons of affordable freelance
websites that can help you with that
like Fiverr and many others just search
for more information on any questions
you have and take some time to think
about it and while we're on the topic of
selling stuff you can also sell other
people's products as an affiliate
marketer which means that you
selling them in exchange for a
commission even huge companies like
Amazon and eBay offer great deals to
affiliate marketers promoting their
products so it won't be a problem to go
with this if you decide to however it
may change and affect your content as
you'll have to review your affiliate
products leave links to them in the
description or even make how to use
tutorials which isn't that bad for a
lifestyle blog but may not be suitable
for blogs with other themes looking for
sponsorship with certain companies for
advertisements can also be an excellent
solution so to put it briefly all you
