How do you become a video blogger and how much money can you make?

Everyone has heard about those people who became millionaires by posting video on YouTube? Well, you don’t have to dream – it is possible to make some money this way.  Just to make it work, you need to know a few secrets.

How do you make money from your videos?

Thanks to the advertising present on the sites, when a viewer clicks on a promotional video or a banner, the author receives from 10 to 50 rubles. The sites share part of the income from this advertising with their partners.  Obviously, it all depends on the number of views per video: it is generally accepted that the winnings are €1 per 1000 views or €1,000 per million views. The aim is to publish a video that hits the target.  A video that will create a buzz and be shared by Internet users. 

3 secrets of how to stand out

Start with a catchy headline, short and clear, with a keyword in the beginning if possible.  Use tags that are varied and relevant. Text descriptions should be written clearly and precisely.  As far as social media is concerned, it is the key to increasing the number of views of the video. You can alert your friends, share on Twitter, Facebook, on the forums of sites that have threads about the chosen topic. The most important secret factor is loyalty. To keep your audience, you will need to publish content regularly, keep your subscribers curious, and surprise them. It is impossible to predict which topic will be successful: you have to keep up with the times, choose a promising niche (at the moment recipes, beauty, for example), but also stand out from the rest. You could call it a real hard art.

Donations

More and more video bloggers are dropping donations. This is a great method of making money. It is also called crowdfunding. The principle is that one of the subscribers wants to support financially, for example to be able to produce quality videos, and so can pay one-off or one-off. According to Youtubeur, some creators earn over 1000 euros per month in this way. Obviously, this requires quality and serious content.

How do you put a video in your vlog? 

If you have already filmed a quality video, you can post it without wasting time. On the home page of your blog, you should click on the “Add video” tab or something similar and follow the instructions to create a channel or design a video blog. To activate monetisation, go to the “video manager” tab, then “channel settings”, then “features” and activate monetisation. The literal names of the tabs vary depending on the interface. After selecting the video you want to share, including the advertising inserts, you need to confirm the creation of an account so that revenue payments from monetization can be deposited into your bank account.
