Everyone dreams of being able to do whatever they want as a profession, and it would be even better if you didn’t have to go to an office and drone on doing the most repetitive tasks with coworkers who are typically nuisances.
For some people, this dream is creating content for other people, while being able to do whatever they want to, and this is what it's like to be a YouTuber. A YouTuber is anyone who creates content for the popular social media site YouTube, and generally they amass a large following. YouTube provides a diverse range of videos for various people with different interests and passions, and this creates a large opportunity to gain fan, and there are even over two-thousand YouTube channels and creators with at least a million subscribers.Due to the vast numbers of regular YouTube users, who typically don't create content, it's likely that creating any YouTube channel would tap into some niche in all of the users, which could still result in a large following. For example, you could create channels that specialize in video games, pranks, skits, beauty and makeup, or even music, and this, combined with the fact that there are well over a billion YouTube viewers make your chances of gaining a fan base and having success are actually substantial.
Now that the opportunity of being a YouTuber as a profession has been established, there is still one big question: how does a YouTuber make any money? The answer to this question is usually hazy, because YouTubers don't typically talk too much about their money and how they get it, so it's almost impossible for those outside the community of YouTubers to learn how much and how money is made. From what is definitively known, there are three main ways of getting money as a YouTuber: advertisements, sponsored videos and donations. Although a smaller YouTuber won't make too much off of actual views of their videos, some advertisements before their videos offer some level of income that could become even larger and add to their pay based on view, if they become a larger YouTuber. Furthermore, sponsored videos from larger companies are only likely on bigger YouTube channels, and they generally charge a fairly large price to make sponsored videos, but some smaller YouTube channels could make a decent profit off making sponsored videos for smaller companies, since they would charge less. Lastly, some YouTubers create websites and pages where people can donate money, if they feel like the content is good enough.
Given the vast opportunity on YouTube to find a niche and make money, it seems like it would be the perfect job to create content that you want to make and be able to do it on your own time. Even if the monetary gains seem unconvincing, the number of YouTube partners' earning 6 figures is up fifty percent from year to year, which means that with enough work, its possible to become one of the elite members of the site, so why not join and see if works out for you too?
