YouTube full time choices

All these hints and tips will be useful if I ever decide to do youtube full time, but right now im far away from doing it. I would think trying to come up with a business plan is a good idea

Cool what are your larger channels? I'm not too sure what you mean by outsourcing your video work? Could you explain that a bit more?
thanks

By outsourcing your work I mean find a way to bring money from the work you are currently doing. If you are a filmmaker sell royalty free stock footage, if you are a musician sell music. Figure out what you are good at and figure out a way that you can develop your channel and make money while doing so.

It's not all about the amount of channels, we bring in revenue through multiple different avenues, but it comes in from the initial work we do from YouTube. I recommend you figure out a way that you can outsource your work, don't worry about managing multiple channels, worry about how the channels you are running can bring you in more money. If you are comfortable managing 6 channels stick to it. But start developing business strategies.

You do drum tips on your channel, this is already a big entry way into outsourcing your work. If you were a gamer things will be quite hard. With drum tips, build an e-book. Sell copies online so people can have a digital copy. Put together "premium lessons" and sell videos you can't get on your page on sites like fiverr or your own online store if you are knowledgable. Take your knowledge, share it but then give a paid section. You can also take drumming and do more with that as well. Like I said earlier you can sell on fiverr. You can sell drum beats etc. Build loops and royalty free beat packs. Do all this, for your channel, but then outsource your work so you can be making extra money for it. This is just some ideas for your one channel. Now you said you have 6.

See where the business plan can come in if you start developing these back stock of money makers? Not all your money has to come from your YouTube check. But it can all come from the work you are putting into YouTube.

"keep in mind this is just 5 minutes of thinking about what you can do, if you devoted some time I'm sure you could figure out a solid way to make things work"

Thanks for the tips! I have done a ton of ebooks and am seeing some great revenue from them (type in Michael Cimicata on Amazon's search bar and you'll see over 50 :D ) but you gave me a great idea to link to my drumming ebooks through my channel/videos. And also to create other ebooks that are focused on the topics of my other channels and link them up. Thanks for the tips/ideas!
 
Well am in 10th grade right now and after finals I will be having 2 1/2 months break ! :D

During that time I plan to really put in some hard work and effort to make as good videos as I can ... ( and off course even after the vacations )

If ... my youtube channel really starts to grow nicely ( were talking of at least 500k subs ) before I graduate out of high school
I probably won't even go to college and start doing youtube as a full time job ....

That's my plan

That's great! Maximize your business and interlink everything so it all works together =) If you're viewers are watching you because they want to learn drumming, then I'm sure they'd be interested in learning from your ebooks. It isn't shameless promotion when your advertising stuff that your viewers want to know about. Put links in your description and channel page and even throw a shoutout to yourself letting people know that they can get more. Worst case scenario is you might not get sales from it. But if you do then it'll hopefully help you get closer to doing YouTube full time =)
 
In Russia it is enough to earn 1000$ per month to make living. Thats considered as a decent salary for many people even in Moscow not that great but still decent. So it could be a good choice to make youtube videos as a full time job. But the bad thing is our CPM. Its horrible compared to english content and its 0.5-1 $ per 1000 views. So if you want to consider youtube as a real job you need at least 50.000 views per day or 1.5 million views per month which is really difficult to achieve.

Thanks! I'm going to start figuring out which books I can interlink with which videos! Thanks for the tips!
 
I dont think making a full time gig out of youtube would be wise. I would think using it as a peripheral income source or a way to market what you really do is better. You never know when sites will just close or become broken...
