All your hours of work, money, and time spent ... gone. Even when people follow the rules they are not entirely safe. Rules change and the people who INTERPRET them have lots of power. There are inconsistencies all over Youtube with people uploading videos complaining that their previous videos were deleted even though they followed the rules to the letter. Youtube as a business if fine as long as you don't invest more than you are willing to lose time/money/effort wise. |

This is not working.. Two days ago I made three videos. I waited until now and I'm still not rich.

True but the thing with Youtube is a lot of it is automated. I think someone brought up that comedian who had her channel deleted for fat jokes. Well the problem is that she was flagged so many times by users that the algorithm automatically disabled her channel. Despite what Youtube tells you it can happen automatically with no human intervention [by youtube staff]. There is an appeal option but whether someone always REALLY manually reviews it, who knows? I'm skeptical. |

There are lots of sex, dating, gay, etc advice videos that one would think would get flagged, but don't. So whatever a person decides to market has to be inside the boundaries. Viv Thomas had lots of videos, as did Playboy and some models. So there are ways people can use it. We have to adopt the attitude that these sites are there for us to use as we feel. Remember all the bitching when other sites banned porn? As if we set the rules, which we don't. It's time to realise the skills aquired to drive traffic to porn sites, has to be utilised to " Transition out of adult. Supplementing income, then consider YOUTUBE" :1orglaugh Any site one doesn't own, can change it's rules. |
Making money off ads is the weak point of this model.
Why? ADBLOCKERS! Thankfully, if you use vids to build a mailing list, you're good to go. Use the list to sell your own products like SaaS, software, books, or get people excited about your Kindle free book days to boost paid sales later. |

Gaming is one of the biggest portions of traffic for youtube now. Name one channel that got removed because their gaming footage wasnt educational or informative... |

You guys might be highly underestimating how much gaming videos and how much of youtube is gaming videos. Lets not even mention twitch and it being... what the 3rd or 4th highest bandwidth usage across the net. Gaming is huge and People may wonder"Why the fuck does someone sit there and watch someone else play a game?" ... well... does that same person watch football or basketball or any other sport? |
I'm trying to find it, but I swear I'm sure I read an article recently saying that Youtube was going to pull ads on videos of people just playing video games, except for things like reviews, cheats, glitches, walkthroughs, etc. but if it didn't add value, no money.
I might be wrong, though, and wouldn't think that just adding commentary to playing a game online would be adding value in most cases.. |

There are a lot of people in this thread giving reasons to fail, or not try. The one thing I learned is negative thinkers usually end up right. As far as they're concerned.
We all know that getting into a well selling niche, and joining all the dots, doesn't guarantee success. It needs the content to be a little bit better than the rest. This guy has that little bit extra. Personally I have no clue why because he doesn't appeal to me. With 39,433,076 subscribers and 10,160,585,204 views, I'm wrong. The subject matter isn't what will attract viewers and keep them watching. It's needs that little bit of magic and an attitude that says "Yes I can" :winkwink: Not, excuses for not trying. |

(I can still have the video up, but Nintendo has control of ads on it apparently..) I was able to use this one by changing the music, though :upsidedow |

Hopefully not all game companies are like Nintendo.. lol
So.. What if I put a few videos up a day for no reason, have some random high comments to them, create a channel and a blog and maybe go in and make an animated character w Adobe that moves and talks with my voice and a couple key frame shortcuts. Would that maybe make some money? Recording replay files on emulators on games that I play anyways then turning them into AVIs later is pretty easy to do.. :upsidedow |
Lots of PRANK videos (easy to make) get lots of views on Youtube but... the non-ad monetization might be hard to set up. See https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-pr...ork-video.html
It's not like you can sell ebooks on how NOT to get people to pull a gun on you when you're pranking them... |

Some here, over the 15 years I've been here, think if they only knew what would be the right nche, app, process or next best thing. They would nail it. It's not what you do it's how you do it that counts. |

Same can be done with visual copywritten material by mirroring the video horizontally. That doesn't prevent those companies from manually sending out copyright notices, though. |

Colmike... I started off in this thread saying you couldnt be more wrong... I was wrong in saying that. let me rephrase that. You've been right about everything you've said... except it would seem that your knowledge of the system is about 5 or 6 years old. Almost all point you make were at one time in play, but its much more organized and tolerant of these issues you bring up. |

Minecraft is one of the biggest success stories when it comes to direct correlation of youtube videos to sales. Another similar story would be of DayZ... It was a mod that some devloper made for an already existing war simulator. Arma. Arma had been around for years but no one really knew about the game... like it was literally nothing. For a couple years. Then when people started making videos about the modded version that came out years after Arma's initial release, It went viral. In both the youtube videos and the sales of this game. Overnight Arma went from a unknown military simulator to a title that no serious gamer went without. Wouldn't have happened without the youtube gaming community. |
