Default Making $100,000+ a year from YouTube

Did you know you can make $100,000+ a year from YouTube?

Well, some are doing it!

Of course, the key is to have a very popular "channel"... Where you create regular videos (often humorous ones) that people want to watch. (Of course, being humorous isn't always easy!)

YouTube (i.e. Google) makes money by showing ads next to your videos. If you're "big" enough, they then can offer you a portion of the profits.

Here's an article how one person is doing it.... Natalie Tran... and how she's made an estimated $100,000 from YouTube in the last year...

If you'd like to see some of Natalie's YouTube videos, you can see them here...

You can see a lot of her videos listed down the right side of the page... (She does a lot of self-deprecating humor...)

According to the article, here are the Top Ten YouTube earners the past year, and what they earned...

Top 10 YouTube earners in the past year

1. Shane Dawson - $US315,000

2. The Annoying Orange - $US288,000

3. Philip DeFranco - $US181,000

4. Ryan Higa - $US151,000

5. Fred - $US146,000

8. Smosh - $US113,000

9. The Young Turks - $US112,000

10. Natalie Tran - $US101,000


If they can do it - why not you?

Best wishes,
