How to make money from YouTube
As well as gaining new followers, YouTube can be a great source of revenue for musicians. Look at the money made by famous influencers/YouTubers, for example. They’re making a living and in some cases, earning millions from YouTube content.
It’s all about attracting traffic, keeping viewers on your channel and turning these viewers into dedicated followers who subscribe to your channel. Once you have built a strong following, you have numerical evidence of how many people you are regularly reaching and this can lead to sources of income for you. Below are some examples of how you can make money from YouTube:
- Sponsored advertising.
- Promoting your physical releases and merchandise.
- Product placement.
- YouTube’s recently introduced “tip jar” feature
- Royalties collected through content ID. For more on content ID – check out this blog by our sister company Horus Music on maximising your outreach to fans on Youtube.
