Without getting into specifics about my checks, I have different youtuber friends who are making anywhere from 10k a month to 50k a month, and a select few who are making even more than that. That doesn’t include videos we get paid to make by different companies, merch, and itunes sales as well!
Google owns Youtube. We make our money from the ads that run before the videos or on the side of the videos. Depending on how many views we get and how many people actually click the ads, we get a percentage of the ad revenue. If you get enough views monthly, it all adds up.
I wish I made 10k! Hell, I wish I made 5k! But yes, for all those who ask this question, here’s your answer!
YouTube has been very good to me this year, but I’m putting 10-50k a month into the universe for 2012.
