Become a Youtuber

 Do you fancy yourself as a YouTube sensation? Getting started is easier than you think. The practicalities are straightforward: you’ll need a camera, a computer, some editing software and a high-speed internet connection to upload videos.

Becoming a successful YouTuber takes hard work. You’ll need to be consistent with uploading content and choose a popular niche such as daily vlogs, gaming and tech videos. There are over 31 million channels on YouTube – what’s going to make yours stand out? Make sure you’re doing something unique. Engage with your audience to maintain regular viewers. It’s a good idea to grow a following on other social media accounts such as Instagram, where you can promote your YouTube channel.

YouTube pays YouTubers 45% to 50% of ad revenue every month. These figures translate to an average of £5 to £7 per 1000 views, which means you can earn an impressive passive income from old videos. The more views you hit, the more money you can make – channels with a significant subscriber base can receive paid partnership deals by endorsing a product or service in a video for a considerable fee.
