If you are like me then you spend a good amount of time watching YouTube. I actually spend too much time on Youtube and I should be using some of that time to make money. Well it seems as if I could do both at the same time. Many online marketing people have been talking about using YouTube to generate traffic for a while, but I’ve never gotten into it since it appears that the conversions for traffic or not all that good. Well the traffic may not be the only way to monetize Youtube any longer. This has been available for a while and many of you may even be members. You can add Adsense to your Youtube account and make a share of the ad impressions served on the site. So if you create a video which is getting a lot of views then why not ad your adsense to it and see if you can make a few extra bucks. Some people are doing very well with this. You don’t hear a lot about people making big money online with Adsense anymore at least people who are don’t talk about it. I do okay with Adsense still on several sites, but nowhere near the level as what the people in this article are doing. Perhaps I need to look at this a little more and see how I too can make 20K per month on youtube.
I’ve actually seen the Mean Kitty song on youtube prior to reading the NyTimes article on this. I knew the mean kitty video was popular, but I had not idea how much money he was making off a spoof such as this. I hope he bought that cat something for all the money the kitty made him on YouTube.com. Its the least he could do.
One thing that interested me on this is that my kid has really been into creating videos lately. He took a class and has gotten really interested in creating videos. He has not done a lot yet, but he is starting to post them on Youtube just for fun. The only thing he asked for at Christmas was a new video camera so he could create more vids. I mentioned the NyTimes article on making money form Youtube and that really peaked his interest. It peaked mine too as I can help him in this area and possibly even help myself at this time. Now he wants some good video editing software. They used the built in tools for Mac at school, but I told him I’ll picked him up a version of Adobe Premier or Pinnacle if you wants a copy to edit his videos for Youtube with. I’ve never done much video editing stuff so I’m not really sure which is best. Of course I know some guys who are pretty good at editing videos. They do it professionally for a living and even teach college classes on how to do this. They mostly use Macs for their video editing activities, but I’m sure they can make a recommendation for some good software which will run on Windows too. So if you are thinking of making money online and you have a vivid imagination, then perhaps you should look at making money with youtube.
