Why is profit from YouTube an exceptional opportunity for everyone?
1- Video in general, and YouTube in particular, is an excellent way to communicate any idea in an easy, simple and effective way to Internet users.
2- The Internet user is often lazy, so he prefers to see what he wants on the Internet with the least effort, and this is precisely what YouTube videos provide.
3- According to the statistics about YouTube , it alone attracts nearly two billion users per month.
4- Because of the profit-sharing system provided by YouTube, video producers have become more motivated to make videos with the utmost efficiency and professionalism and to cover all human interests.
Based on this, YouTube users trust it as a search engine and use it not only for entertainment, but they use it to answer all their questions and solve all their problems.
5- YouTube represents an opportunity for everyone who has a passion or interest, to turn this passion or interest into an opportunity to make a rewarding and growing profit.
Watch the video below provided by the YouTube Academy, which talks about turning passion into profit from YouTube.
6- YouTube is not an opportunity for a certain category of content makers, but it has opened new horizons and opportunities for photographers, video designers, actors, directors…etc.
In short, YouTube is an online version of the world of cinema and television. Rather, it is a more innovative and flexible version, and its doors are open to everyone without discrimination, and you, my friend, have every right to enter through its open doors.
What do I need to start making money from YouTube?
#1 YouTube channel idea
This point is considered the most important and dangerous point ever on the way to profit from YouTube, and if it is implemented smartly and wisely, it shortens a lot of effort and wasted time in the future.
In order to test the success of the YouTube channel idea, you must evaluate it according to two main axes:
They will be expressed here through these two questions:
Question 1: Will your channel be about an idea that you are really good at?
There is always one thing that all YouTube stars have in common, or let’s say all the successful and famous YouTube channels, and this factor is that they are really good at what they do.
Let’s take, for example, one of the famous and successful YouTube channels that specialize in teaching makeup to girls. You will find that the girl who owns the channel or presenter is really interested in the world of makeup.
She has great knowledge about this world, and you will always find her seeking knowledge and learning about the field of make-up to present something new to her followers.
Here, as an aspiring to profit from YouTube, you must have the idea of a YouTube channel that revolves around a field that you are really interested in, well-versed and knowledgeable about it, and always have a passion and love for learning in this field.
The second question: Is there an audience interested in what you intend to present on your channel?
Let’s assume in the previous point that you are interested in astronomy and space sciences and intend to create a YouTube channel on this topic. In the next point, you must measure the size of your expected audience:
Here are some points that will help you understand the size of your potential audience:
1- Use the Google tool to measure the search rate for keywords ( Keyword Planner ), enter the most important keywords that your channel will revolve around and write down the monthly search rates for each word.
2- Search YouTube for channels similar to the one you want to create, and write down the number of subscriptions in each of them (remember that the low number of subscribers may be due to the poor quality of the channels, and not to the lack of an interested audience).
Also, you should search for videos similar to what you want to present on your channel, as some channels that provide a variety of content may contain one or more videos related to the idea of your channel, also without the number of views for each video.
3- Search social media for groups or pages that talk about ideas that are identical or similar to the idea of your channel, and write down the size of these groups and the level of interaction with them.
As for how to define your YouTube channel idea, or to get ready-made channel ideas, you should return to the topics below:
- How do I define a successful YouTube channel idea?
- Great and profitable YouTube channel ideas (15 different ideas explained)
- How Do You Decide on a New YouTube Channel Idea (In Quick Points)
#2 A set of skills
Now you have an idea for a YouTube channel according to your interests and passions, which you found has a large segment of the audience already interested… Very cool. Now you have to know what skills you need to start implementing the idea.
Although working as a YouTube publisher is something that is flexible, and can be started with the lowest possible capabilities, there are some important skills that you must possess in the event that you want to create a promising YouTube channel with a rapid growth rate.
I will make a list of the most important skills required in the world of YouTube, but this does not necessarily mean that you need all of them to start your channel and profit from it, as there may be certain skills that you will not need according to the nature of your channel.
It is also important to say that most of the successful and profitable YouTube channels are not based on one person, but rather a whole team behind them working together with different specializations, so you, as a channel owner, do not have to possess all the skills that we will mention below:
The first skill: speaking, reciting, acting, explaining and commenting
Of course, you must possess the skill that is commensurate with the nature of the content that you intend to present on your channel, and for clarification, let us continue with our example about space and astronomy… You must have good skills in communicating information and commenting on hot news in the world of space, and the ability to explain and simplify difficult concepts..etc.
Second skill: photography
Video quality is a very important element in order to get more views, and then achieve more profits, and of course the quality of the video depends greatly on the photography skills of the photographer.
The third skill: montage, editing and directing
Good photography without good directing is nothing, so as a complement to good video photography, there must also be skills to produce this photography professionally, and this requires some effort in learning and gaining experience.
Fourth skill: Marketing
Everything that happens through the Internet needs marketing efforts in order to bear fruit, and this applies to profit from YouTube as well.
As a YouTube channel owner, you must have some knowledge and skill on how to market your videos and channel, whether through YouTube itself or through other social media, or through an independent blog for your YouTube channel.
What do you do if you do not have the skill you need to profit from YouTube?
What if you do not have some of the skills mentioned above and you want to start under any circumstances, is there a good alternative that you can rely on without having to learn all these skills? In fact, yes, there is an alternative.
The alternative here is to use external sources to complete specific tasks that you are not proficient in. For example, you can rely on yourself in the photography stage (if you are good at that), and rely on external sources in the montage stage, for example.
In fact, there are three different forms of external sources, on which you can rely on any of them to complete tasks related to profit from YouTube.
Here is an explanation for each of them:
The first form: getting a partner
Assuming the same as our previous example, which is that you are good at photography but not good at montage, then you can search for a partner who will do the montage and prepare videos in exchange for a percentage of the profits.
Figure 2: Contracting with a freelancer
The second form of external sources is to search for a person who is fluent in the skill you are looking for and contract with him. For example, you can agree with him on a certain amount for each video that he edits and prepares.
The third figure: relying on freelance platforms
In my view this is the easiest and fastest way to get outsourcing to complete specific tasks. Through freelancing platforms, you can accomplish the tasks you want with great accuracy and at an excellent price.
And for those who do not know what freelancing platforms are: they are platforms that act as mediators between sellers and buyers in the service market, with which you will find services in all kinds of tasks that come to your mind.
For example, in the world of video production, you will find services for making all kinds of videos, specialized services in making video introductions, video editing services, sound effects services…etc.
One of the most important and famous of these freelance platforms is the Pfeiffer platform , on which you will find professionals in the video industry. You might be surprised if you knew that there are more than a thousand services on Fiverr that are directed and dedicated only to YouTube channel owners.
To get more information about Pfeiffer as a great solution for completing tasks, and to learn how to register and deal with the site with detailed explanations and illustrations, read the articles below:
- What is Fiverr, how does it work, and why it is such a treasure for everyone
- How to register on Fiverr for buyers and sellers and explain the creation of Gig
- Explanation of Fiverr (explaining the control panel and buying and selling steps)
#3 A set of equipment and tools
It is generally known in our lives that good skills require having the right tools to implement them and transform them into tangible work. This is also the case in the world of profit from YouTube. All the skills mentioned above need tools to bear fruit.
Before starting to include the list of tools required in the world of YouTube, we must also point out that as a profit aspirant from YouTube, it is not necessary for you to have all the tools that will be mentioned below, as the tools required in your case depend greatly on the nature of your channel and the content you want to provide.
1- Photographic equipment
Your photography equipment can be your personal mobile phone camera, or it can be specialized and advanced heavy photography equipment, including lighting and sound recording equipment.
2- Programs for creating and editing videos
They are programs specialized in creating and editing videos, adding some parts in the introduction and the end, doing optical illusions…etc.
Of course, there are marketing tools that you will also need, and you can learn about them through the topic of the best e-marketing tools for all disciplines.
#4 Budget money to meet expenses
Profit from YouTube is like any other business, it needs investment to develop and grow it in order to get faster growth and a greater return.
You must have a financial budget to meet the expenses of your channel (for example, hiring freelancers to perform certain tasks, running paid advertising campaigns, etc.).
You must adhere to this budget towards your channel. Here, investing in your channel will save you a lot of time and effort, and it is your fastest way to obtain a channel that generates satisfactory profit for you.
#5 Action plan
The plan is the crown that will crown all your efforts with success, and it is the element that connects all the previous points and makes them work together in harmony. In short, the plan is the way to success.
In points from the first to the fourth, I dealt with the requirements for profit from YouTube in general, but at this point I will give you the keys that will enable you to know which of these requirements you will need, according to your specific situation.
Here are a set of questions that you must answer to determine your business plan:
The first question: What type of videos do you intend to publish on your YouTube channel?
Of course, there are plenty of options here, and these are the most popular:
- Appearing with the face to speak and discuss, or to explain an idea or information, or to try to entertain the audience through comedy.
- Various live photography (such as videos of animals, archaeological sites, landscapes, etc.), which may be with an audio commentary.
- Show static visual content (such as images and written texts) with an audio commentary.
- Advanced visual content with background music to illustrate an idea or information (such as animation, animation, or motion graphics).
- Recording from the screen (mostly to explain a program or to record any educational activity directly from the screen).
To get more details, information and ideas on this point … return to the article with the link below:
The second question: Will you work alone or will you form a team?
By working on your own, you can save a lot of money and use it in other aspects such as marketing, but also by working alone, you lose many opportunities for rapid growth, and you will not be able to do everything perfectly on your own.
In any case, this point is related to your budget, the nature of the channel you intend to create, and the format of the videos.
The third question: What is the size of the budget that you will invest to profit from YouTube?
The size of the budget is a very important element in your plan to profit from YouTube. Financial investment can save a lot of time and effort, and through it rapid growth rates can be achieved, but the important thing here is to set priorities and distribute the budget according to importance.
The budget, of course, depends on many factors, such as the quality of the videos, sharing in exchange for hiring others, publishing rate, the required growth volume, etc.
Question four: How much time do you intend to devote to profit from YouTube?
Of course, working part-time will never produce the results that can be obtained with full dedication of time.
Fifth question: What is the method you intend to use to profit from YouTube?
Everyone knows the traditional way to profit from YouTube by placing Google ads, but in fact there are many other ways to profit from YouTube without Adsense.
Among these methods is commission marketing, selling a special product or service, or making promotional videos for brands … Read, for example, the article in the link below, which talks about a full explanation of a strategy for profit from YouTube and affiliates:
Now that we have completed the requirements … let us begin to discuss the steps to profit from YouTube in an organized manner and in detail:
Steps to profit from YouTube
First step: create a YouTube channel
To create a YouTube channel, you must return to a previous topic in the winners titled How to create a YouTube channel, in which you will find a simplified explanation of the work of the YouTube channel and its setting in the illustration.
In any case, creating a YouTube channel is very easy, and it does not require you to have more than one Google account, and with some simple steps you can choose a suitable name for your channel, and then start preparing it in terms of description and image for it..etc.
The second step: start supplying your channel with videos consistently and continuously.
Start with all the strength that you have, and try to implement attractive and interesting video ideas at the beginning, with which you can attract subscribers to your channel.
Keep posting new videos, and try to avoid the mistakes you made in previous videos. Listen to your audience, even if it was a little at the beginning, and try to satisfy it and take advantage of its advice and suggestions, and encourage it to always share its opinions.
For some tips on creating a YouTube video, you should return to the topic How to create a successful YouTube video.
Third Step: Start marketing your channel and videos

Step Four: Start making money from YouTube
There are many ways to profit from YouTube, as we mentioned above, but the most important and well-known of them is by participating in the YouTube Partner Program.
It is worth noting that there are conditions for joining the YouTube Partner Program, which must be met in order to activate the profit from the channel, which YouTube calls: “eligibility requirements to join the program.”
Here is a list of the conditions or requirements for profit from YouTube:
- Channel compliance with YouTube monetization policies.
- You are located in a country where the YouTube Partner Program is available.
- 4000 hours of views in the last 12 months.
- At least 1000 subscribers.
- Having a Google Adsense account and linking it to the channel.
For a detailed explanation of these conditions, and how you can successfully achieve them… read the article with the link below:
To find out the status of your account regarding making a profit, and to start the steps for making a profit, go to Youtube Studio, and then go to the profit making tab from the menu on the right.
The application consists of 4 steps:
- Read and agree to the YouTube Partner Program Terms.
- Subscribing to Adsense or linking an existing Adsense account to the channel (in the event that you fulfill the requirements for viewing and subscribers … then you will find a link to subscribe to Adsense on your account status page that you referred to above).
- Set your ad preferences (i.e. choose the type of ads you want to show on your videos).
- YouTube will review the channel to ensure that it complies with YouTube’s terms, and you will be notified of the decision within a month.
If you want advice from me on this point, it is; You should ignore the idea of profit completely at the beginning, and use your focus, effort and time to enrich your channel with more attractive videos (succeed first and the profit will come, do not worry).
Important points and tips about profit from YouTube
In this part, I will include a set of important points and tips that will help you in your journey to profit from YouTube.
1- Important YouTube links
The first link: Youtube guide on copyright
Through it, you can learn about everything related to copyright, how to avoid breaching it, and how to deal if others breach your copyright.
This video explains the idea of property rights in an easy and entertaining way.
The second link: the official website of the content creator on YouTube
Third link: YouTube Academy for Content Creators
On this site, you will find great free YouTube courses and educational materials for content creators.
Fourth link: YouTube’s official blog for content creators.
Fifth link: YouTube’s policies towards published content
I strongly recommend entering the links above and reading the content in them. In order to succeed in the YouTube kingdom, you must clearly understand the laws of this kingdom.
2- Profit rate from YouTube
One of the important questions that concern many of those looking to profit from YouTube is, “How much profit from YouTube?”.
The profit rate from YouTube per thousand views ranges from 30 cents (less than half a dollar) up to 3 dollars.
And the rate of profit from YouTube depends on many variables, the most important of which are:
The first variable: the geographical distribution of viewers
Of course, the American viewer earns more profit than the Egyptian viewer.
The second variable: channel specialization
YouTube works with a targeting system to display appropriate ads in front of the appropriate viewer, and of course the nature of your YouTube channel content attracts viewers with certain interests.
For example, if your channel is about reviewing the types of smartphones, then naturally it will attract those interested in buying new smartphones, and then advertisements for online stores that sell smartphones will appear in front of them.
But if your channel is about the world of space, it will attract another type of viewer, and then another type of advertisement.
Of course, the price of a click or view on each ad differs from the other, so the profit rate is affected by the quality of the ads, which is affected by the nature of the content of your YouTube channel.
For a deeper understanding, read the article with the link below:
How much profit from YouTube and how much do you earn from a million views?
The third variable: the target group
The profit rate from a YouTube channel targeting young people is different from the profit rate from a YouTube channel targeting elderly people who own a business and can buy freely.
The fourth variable: the length of the video
A 3-minute video makes less money than a 15-minute video, because more than one ad can be placed in it, but you need to consider the viewer’s time in watching the video.
Perhaps the viewer will leave the 15-minute video after the second minute if it is not attractive enough.
3- Creativity and innovation play a key role in your profit from YouTube
If you intend to present a traditional and repeated idea from many channels, and you want to implement it in the traditional way, I advise you not to enter the YouTube game in the first place, because profit from YouTube requires some innovation and creativity from you.
YouTube viewers gravitate toward creative, non-stereotypical content, and will only subscribe to your channel when they find something different.
And here are important tips to connect the audience with you, be creative, and be different … Read the full description of this post on Instagram, and follow us there, as we publish information like this constantly.
4- Do not focus on profits at the beginning of your journey
Profit from YouTube is not like setting a system to generate profits, but it is a work that should initially aim to satisfy the viewer, attract more viewers, and form a large community interested in the foregoing.
Of course, by working in this direction, the profits will be the obvious result of your efforts, and they will inevitably come in many ways.
5- Benefit from the experiences of others, but be yourself
Always seeing what competitors do will give you new ideas and broaden your horizons, so following your competitors is a very important element, but…!
Avoid falling into the trap of imitating others and following in their footsteps. Rather, make yourself an identity, thought, and style, and always work to give your YouTube channel a trademark that makes it distinctive in the YouTube world.
6- Profit from YouTube is an area for investment like any other business
You do not have to have a passion and knowledge about a specific topic in order to profit from YouTube, also you do not have to have any knowledge about the YouTube world and how to work as a content creator.
But you can always invest in profit from YouTube by bringing in experts, making them self-employed… YouTube is a great opportunity to invest money and generate good profit.
Here we have to point out that this idea will only succeed if you have a reliable and experienced team, and it has all the skills and capabilities necessary to profit from YouTube, and it relies on you for funding only.
