Making Money on YouTube

Finding legitimate ways to make money online can be difficult, but one site most of us trust is YouTube.com.  I have recently started a YouTube channel for gaming (Call of Duty, BF3, etc..) and wanted to share this information with all of you.  My channel can be found at www.youtube.com/mrgoober814. 

YouTube videos can be monetized with AdSense, but that isn't necessarily the only way to make money on YouTube.  You can use YouTube videos to advertise your brand, your blog, or even your product.  YouTube is one of the biggest markets on the web, just a few stats to remind you:

• Over 800 million unique users per month
• Over 4 billion hours of video watched each month
• YouTube is available from 350 million devices

How many other platforms can say they have this much traffic and keep a straight face.  YouTube is also very socially oriented, people talk about videos and share them on Facebook, Twitter, and through emails.

What is holding you back from jumping into YouTube? If you don't know how to use it, I'm sure there are millions of videos that can show you how it's done!  Below is the 1st video from my gaming channel if you are interested.

 

Take It Offline

Everyday there are millions of people trying to make a living on the internet.  I'm sure a lot of my readers are in the same boat.  Sometimes staring at a computer screen day in and day out can get a little tiring.  The best thing to do when you are getting burned out is to, take it offline.  Take the drive, motivation, and energy that you use to make money online and bring it to the real world.  There are many things you can do to make a quick couple dollars.

• Collect scrap metal, whether it be aluminum cans or copper wire there is money to be made on scrap.
• Sell services on Craigslist; offer to rake leaves for a fee, offer to drive someone that has no vehicle, offer to haul away junk that might make you money.
• Sell old/new stuff on Craigslist or eBay, I'm sure we all have some junk that is worth some money.  You know what they say, "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
• Find part time jobs or gigs that are within your talents.  If you build, take pictures, sing/act, or have a technical skill there is always someone out there who needs you.

Yes, I know I said take it offline and then 2 of my items included being online.  The goods you are selling or the services you offer are offline and the time spent on the computer can be short.  If anyone wants to add anything leave it in the comments section below.
