Today, we will review one more online income method. It is earning from your videos on Youtube. So far, you must have only viewed other's videos on many topics and may have wondered what somebody created that video. Here is the answer! To earn from this online business, with the help of Google and Youtube!

Do you recollect that I had said earlier that you can work with your hobby and earn from the same? So, you can think of it now, as what you can present in video and put it on Youtube. It may be entertainment, knowledge, tips, promotion, skill, or anything in any subjects from cooking, arts, finance, technical, political, religious, to any category you may wish.

It is required that there should be enough people interested in the topic and many people should view your video. So, either you send your link to many and / or your video should become searchable on Google, for proper key words selected for the same.

Creating a Youtube channel and monetising it is very easy. Skill is needed in choosing your topic, writing interesting script and properly shooting the video clip. Youtube needs you to have 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of viewing your video by viewers. Then, You need to create your Google Adsense account and link it to your Youtube channel. Youtube starts paying for the advertisements displayed during your vdeos.

Youtube payment formula is not clearly known. It depends as per google norms, on the contents, country of creation and viewers, duration, popularity of the link etc. But, income from about 1000 viewers can be average around 4-7 USD. So, imagine how many viewers need to be driven to your videos. Of course, you must have seen many videos having millions of viwers and subscibers!

Again, there are ways to use Youtube income method:

  You can just have video on Youtube and you earn Ad revenue from Adsense

  You can have a website or blog selling some product or service and you use Youtube video to attract attention of viwers and then visitors to your website/blog to buy your products.

 You may be promoting some other companies products by making videos for them, charging fees to them.

Then, you could be doing solo video or may be with others. You may be needing laptop screen presentation, other property, camera and other accessories. There are number of free resources available for video recording, exiting, subtitle making, audio mixing etc.

So, think of an idea to make a good clip, then, think of the method how you want to make a video out of it and go online!
