How do people actually make money on Youtube?
It can be slow and hard to build a community on YouTube. My community is quite niche–people who watch me are often drivers or people considering becoming a taxi driver, but my audience has expanded since I've built a bigger presence. I'd say the top 10% of channels on YouTube can make it their full-time job. People should know, however, that it's nowhere near as easy as it appears. It's quite a grind and quite time-consuming. There are several ways you can make money on YouTube that I’ll share, though.

1. You can get paid through standard YouTube videos, where you get a percentage of the ad revenue that YouTube makes from people watching YouTube ads.
2. You can also get paid through sponsorships and partnerships with brands. For example, you could make a sponsored video for a brand.
3. There's actually also a YouTube membership where people can sign up on a monthly basis to patronize your channel, and you can do private videos, special perks, and other things for your members.
4. You can also embed an online storefront on your YouTube channel. For example, if you've got your own Shopify shop, you can embed that onto your YouTube channel, or you can link Amazon products with affiliate links.

I’ll just reiterate that it takes hard work to make money and build a following on YouTube. It took me over a year to get my first 2000 subscribers. It takes consistency. Do not give up, and just keep going consistently because it takes time.
