Youtube Musings

[Millard Grubb]

Over the last few days I have had a little extra time to look at some different channels on YouTube.

I have been gobsmacked.

There is one person who is a classical pianist.... this video got over 35 MILLION views:

Here is Kara and Nate who travel around filming who got over 8 MILLION views:

And here is a video that posted 2 months ago and got 50 MILLION views:

https://youtu.be/DuQbOQwVaNE

I was wondering with these people having so many views, why not try to do the same?

(By the way, Gillian Perkins, expert Youtuber, indicates that after paying YouTube their cut, every million views makes about $5000.)

The key seems to build your subscriber list and post what people want to see.

Be interested to look into this more closely.

Can you share with us Millard, where we can find those figures from YouTube, the 5k per million figure? I couldn't find it from youtube.

I was watching a video from Gillian Perkins and she showed screen shots of what she made from various videos via her Youtube channel.

I'll look her up and get back with a link or two.

Gordon,

Here are some links from Gillian Perkins about her income from Youtube:

This is the link to the video that she showed she earned approx. $5000 for 1 million views.

Hope this helps.

Watched her videos and others, nice lady, good stuff but way to much work for me, IF you go that route, let us know, be happy to promote your channels to the group.
