20101: How I Monetize a Small YouTube channel with less than 1000 subscribers
“How I monetize my YouTube channel with 550 subscribers”
I am sharing with you my very own case study. This will not be a lengthy case study. So don’t worry I get to the point. On how exactly I monetized my struggling YouTube channel with only 550 subscribers. I’ve been growing my channel for 1.5 years. At the end of December I made it 550 subscribers. That’s a huge milestone for a small youtube channel. I was pretty anxious about this. For the simple fact I need money and I need it right away. Unfortunately, my channel is not like other YouTube channels you may find. I haven’t niche down like most recommended. For instance lifestyle vlogs, travel vlogs, mini house tours, pranks, and/or challenges. Nah! My channel is an informational channel that shares knowledgeable information that you may or may not know.
How do I gain more views on my channel?
In beginning of 2020, I thought it would be a great idea to start writing blog post and use my videos in the post. This has gained me about 637 views in the whole year. It’s not a lot compared to other bloggers. I can honestly say for my channel that was a big step in gaining attraction. 637 views are better than 0 views. Wouldn’t you say!
If you have a blog and looking to gain attraction for both your blog and channel. This is one tip that will help you. Make a blog post using your video. That’s a double whammy for SEO search. When someone browses the internet and uses a tag. Your content shows up twice with your Blog & Videos.
How did I really Monetize a small YouTube Channel?
Enough of that. I’m sure you didn’t come here for that. Now back to the subject at hand. How I Monetized my Youtube Channel? Without reaching the required threshold, 1000 subscribers, and 4000 public watch time hours. There are other possible ways to monetize your channel without reaching youtube requirements. I have simply monetized my channel by using affiliate links in my description box. The best decision and eye-opener I made. I haven’t made thousands of dollars through my affiliate links. I have made a good amount to make ends meet.
