A year ago I took the advice of a couple of well-respected YouTubers and decided to monetise my channel. I never expected to make much money but monetization enabled me to control when and where adverts would show in my videos, and even a degree of control over what type of adverts I wanted shown (or more accurately what I didn't want to appear). I have earned more than I expected and all of that revenue has returned to my hobby and the channel instead of going to 'the man' at YouTube.
Brilliant! Delighted that it’s worked out for you Lee.
ReplyDeleteThank you (and Alex) for your encouragement to take the plunge. I won't be retiring on the amount I make but it has covered the cost of all the miniatures I have bought this year with a bit to spare.
DeleteA little extra moolah is great! What is interesting (to me, at least) is that I watch your video via your blog. I NEVER see adverts!
ReplyDeleteIf you are a Premium subscriber to YouTube then you won't see adverts at all. I still get some revenue from Premium viewers, but the amount I get from non subscribers who do see adverts will change throughout the year as the advertising rate fluctuates (Its usually higher in the run-up to Christmas).
