This money will be a combination of my 55% revenue share I get from YouTubes’ Adsense system as a member of their Partner Program and the money I will get from the very brave company that I somehow convinced to sponsor today’s video.If you are part of the roughly 30% of people that watch my new videos in the first day after they are uploaded, then firstly thank you, but you might also notice that the number down there is negative, and that’s because I have also decided to include how much it costs me to make these videos. I’ve done this for two reasons, the first is because I thought you might find it interesting, especially if you have ever aspired to start a YouTube channel of your own. I’ve also done it to highlight a big problem that I think is worth talking about, monetization drastically effects what you spend your time watching here on YouTube without you even realising it. If you aren’t watching on the first day this video goes live then the title was “This video has made me -$953.56” because that’s how much I spend all in on making the video you are watching right now. That might surprise you, after all most of my videos are made from edited movie scenes and stock clips, compared to some of the things you watch on YouTube, I don’t need to give piles of cash away, film in exotic locations or get a new car every other week.But I still employ an editor who I want to pay very well for the work he does in making these videos come to life, and on top of that there are licenses for the software applications I use, as well as licenses for the things as mundane as a cloud storage drive, email servers and accounting software.The barriers to entry for a YouTube channel like mine are very low, but they are rising, especially if you want to stand out in an ever more competitive landscape of high budget content, and this is causing perhaps one of the biggest problems on the platform. And no, I am not talking about people saying naughty things and getting their videos demonetized, I’m talking about something that greatly impacts the way you consume hours of video every week. #youtubemonetization #howmoneyworks #finance -------Thanks to Ed6767 for the image at 7:19https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Exterior_of_YouTube_Space_Kings_Cross.jpgEdited By: Andrew GonzalesMusic Courtesy of: Epidemic SoundSelect Footage Courtesy of: Getty ImagesFor sponsorship inquiries, please contact [email protected]
