what is going on guys today I’m gonna be

talking about something that I think a

lot of people overestimate I’m gonna be

talking about what it takes to make a

living off of YouTube

now before I say this if you want to

make a living off youtube one of the

biggest things you need to do is post

original content if especially in the

gaming community you’re not original

your videos are just gonna get filtered

out with all the other spam people

upload I mean so many people do the

exact same thing and so on just make

sure your original if you ever want to

get to the point that I’m talking about

in this video where you can actually

make a living off your YouTube

you got a post original good quality

content and if you are doing that then

you will get somewhere if you’re doing

like a lot of people do and just doing

the same old stuff over and over again

montages things like that that everyone

else does that there’s nothing unique to

and I’ll be honest I do I do have my

fair share of you know going with the

flow videos doing what everyone else is

doing not really being different videos

but if you post original content you can

get somewhere off youtube but especially

in the gaming community you have to be

really creative because just about

everything’s been done but anyways I’m

gonna be talking about what it takes to

make a living off youtube now if you’ve

watched any of my videos you’ve seen how

I calculated numbers this and that 30

million views per year is what I think

it takes to make a living off of YouTube

30 million views will get you around

$60,000 because you get around $2,000

per million views any anybody knows this

if you get a million views you show a

million ads on YouTube you’re gonna get

between a thousand to two thousand five

hundred dollars so I’ll average it out

so you get around two thousand dollars

and so if you get thirty million views

in a year that’s sixty thousand dollars

but then your network no matter who you

are your network is gonna take

percentage of that and so we’ll say

after that you’ll come out to around

$50,000 forty five thousand fifty

thousand dollars which to me is enough

to make a living off of a lot of you are

probably thinking how are you gonna pay

for a car and a house and all this other

stuff with forty five fifty thousand

dollars but yeah to make a living off of

YouTube in my opinion to you this might

be too low standard so some of you might

feel like holy crap that’s a lot of

money you need around 30 million views

per year and you can divide that up

that’s a couple million views a month

and do a lot of big youtubers that’s

nothing

the average millions upon millions of

views per video and they upload almost a

video a day so I mean they’re reaching

that $50,000 mark in a month and a lot

of people would just like to reach that

$50,000 mark in a year and so um that’s

pretty much that I think it’s overrated

though I think a lot of people are

trying to become youtubers a lot of

young people are spending a lot of their

time making YouTube videos and 90% of

those videos aren’t even getting viewed

by someone else besides this is them and

their friends and part of it is like I

mentioned earlier they’re not being

original they’re doing what everyone

else is doing and if you’re doing a

gaming channel and you’re copying

everyone else you’re not gonna get

anywhere it’s just there’s so many

videos and there’s not enough viewers to

actually watch them all that’s why you

have to be original that way when

someone does watch it they’re gonna tell

their friend and you you know how it

works so um I know and I said this

earlier I’m not that original in my

videos either I’m trying to and I want

to branch out and do some other things

and I just try to be creative and talk

about stuff that’s thought-provoking

that I would actually like to listen to

and if I would watch my own videos and

I’m sure there are other people in the

world that would too but yeah around 30

million views will get you around

$60,000 and then your network takes a

percentage and yadda yadda yadda and

that’s what I think it takes to make a

living so if you want to make a living

off youtube and you think you can pull

out 30 million views per year then you

got what it takes and that’s pretty much

that just so you can see um if you like

see a small youtuber or a medium-size

youtuber and you’re wondering if they

make a living just check and see if

they’re getting more than 30 million

views per year and more than likely

they’re doing YouTube as a job and

that’s pretty much that YouTube a lot of

people are doing nowadays like so many

gaming channels startup everyday and I I

know I mean everyone who starts a

channel wants to get famous and wants to

get big and get to that point where

they’re making a lot of youtube money

and I just have a bunch of fans even if

they’re not doing it for the money just

you know to have a bunch of fans and one

of the biggest things I know I’m

throwing this in I know this video is

supposed to be talking about what it

takes to make a living off of YouTube

the biggest thing is to be original and

be

and let’s pretty much that
