Make Money with YOUTUBE

You might have probably heard stories about people earning money on YouTube and then you think“Hey, I can do this too!”. Though earning thousands of dollars per month isn’t realistic, but you can start earning money quickly, especially if you have a strong subscriber base. Follow this guide to get your videos monetized and start earning revenue from those YouTube videos.

Setup your youtube channel

Your channel is your personal presence on YouTube. Each YouTube account can have one channel attached to it. A YouTube account is the same as a Google account, and creating a Youtube account will grant you access to other Google applications, such as Gmail.
Create your account or use your existing one. Add keywords to help people find your channel. You can add keywords by navigating to the Advanced section of your Channel Settings. Make sure that your keywords are relevant to your content.
Your user name should also work for your channel promotion. If your user name is short, original and easy to remember, it will become more accessible among the audience. However if you are using an existing account, you can always change your username by editing it on your Google+ account.

Add content in your account

Try to upload content that is of high quality, and isn't super long(This option can vary depending on what type of content you decide to upload). Also try to upload regularly and stay consistent with your content.
Even if your content isn't good in the start, dont get disappointed and carry on work with patience. Practice will make you perfect. Try to make each video better than the last one. You will often learn as you keep on working.


Gain an audience
                      

Building an audience is key to increasing your monetization. You need people to subscribe your channel in order to make money. There is no secret to getting more subscribers, just make the best content that you can and they will come to you.
Improve your content by either using a better camera or trying better editing software or techniques. Also try to improve the way things are filmed. Use a tripod, have a friend help you or light your scenes better. It all helps for a better end product which in turn helps you get a better audience. By uploading regularly you will be able to hold an audience. People are more likely to subscribe if you add content on regular schedules, and maintain that schedule as much as possible.
Make sure to tag your videos with key words that describe the content, as well as add eye-catching descriptions. These things will help drive people to your videos on YouTube.
Send your video's link out on Twitter, Facebook or any social media site. Share it with people. Distribute it elsewhere on the internet. Subscribers are essential to becoming a partner.
Interact with your viewers by responding to comments and making occasional videos directly related to viewer comments and questions. Connecting with your community will bring more members into that community.

Monetize your videos

  

In order to start earning money on your videos, you’ll need to enable monetization. This means you are allowing YouTube to place ads in your video. This also means that you acknowledge that there is no copyrighted material in your video.
You can monetize a video by clicking the Monetization tab and checking the “Monetize with Ads” box.
To monetize a video after it has been uploaded, open your Video Manager and click the “$” sign next to the video that you want to monetize. Check the “Monetize with Ads” box.

Setup Google AdSense

You can setup Google AdSense for free at the AdSense website. Click the Sign Up Now button to begin creating your account. You must be 18 years or older to create your own account. If you are younger than 18, then you will need an adult to help you.
You need either PayPal or a bank account and a valid mailing address as well as other information so AdSense can verify who you are and who to send the money to. You only gain money per ad click and a smaller amount per view but it adds up over time. This is why having an audience is key.

Check your Analytics

Once you have monetized your videos on youtube, you can check out the analytics on them to see how they are performing like what is the rate of your audience. Click the Analytics option in your Channel menu. Here you can view estimated earnings, ad performance, video views, demographics and much more.
Use these tools to see how your content is resonating with your audience. You can change your content or your marketing if you’re finding that you aren’t attracting the users that you want to.

Make money with BLOGGING

Do any of the following apply to you?

1. You thought your audience would be excited by your latest blog post, and yet it only gets to a handful of likes and shares. 
2. You choose your blog topic based on what you think your readers want, and yet only a few of them even click through to read it. 
3. You sometimes feel like giving up because you can’t afford to keep writing blog posts that no one reads.

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone. Too many business owners invest time and resources into creating amazing content – only to have it fall on deaf ears. If you know that your content is well-written, that it adds something new to the conversation and that you’re promoting it effectively; the problem is likely what you’re writing about.

On-site blog content is a fundamental aspect of Search Engine Optimisation and content marketing, and is one of the three pillars of Search Engine Optimisation. Fortunately, there are a number of ways you can find out what topics your audience actually cares about. Following are five strategies you can use to find trending topics in your industry or niche; topics that your website visitors will love to read, share and comment on.

Now I’m going to share the more basic strategies like checking your website analytics, signing up for Goggle Alerts and polling your readers, though these can be very effective as well.

Web analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of web data for purposes of understanding and optimising web usage. However, Web analytics is not just a process for measuring web traffic but can be used as a tool for business and market research, and to assess and improve the effectiveness of a website. Web analytics applications can also help companies measure the results of traditional print or broadcast advertising campaigns. It helps one to estimate how traffic to a website changes after the launch of a new advertising campaign. Web analytics provides information about the number of visitors to a website and the number of page views. It helps gauge traffic and popularity trends which is useful for market research.

Basic Steps of the Web Analytics Process

Most web analytics processes down to four essential stages or steps,which are:

1. Collection of data: This stage is the collection of the basic, elementary data. Usually, this data is counts of things. The objective of this stage is to gather the data. 
2. Processing of data into information: This stage usually take counts and make them ratios, although there still may be some counts. The objective of this stage is to take the data and conform it into information, specifically metrics. 
3. Developing KPI: This stage focuses on using the ratios (and counts) and infusing them with business strategies, referred to as Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Many times, KPI's deal with conversion aspects, but not always. It depends on the organisation. 
4. Formulating online strategy: This stage is concerned with the online goals, objectives, and standards for the organisation or business. These strategies are usually related to making money, saving money, or increasing market share. 

Each stage impacts or can impact (i.e., drives) the stage preceding or following it. So, sometimes the data that is available for collection impacts the online strategy. Other times, the online strategy affects the data collected.

1. Don’t Overlook Reddit.

The first thing you’ll want to do if you haven’t already is to subscribe to relevant subreddits in your niche.

So, if I ran a parenting site for instance, I may want to subscribe to subreddits like Parenting, Babies, Raising Kids or stuff like that.

It can be tricky to find relevant subreddits unless you know exactly what you’re looking for. One tool that can make your search easier is SubReddit Finder.

Once you’ve spent a number of days watching which topics seem to strike a nerve, it’s time to create your own content playing off the most popular topics or themes.

2. Facebook Interest Lists = Easy Access to Popular Topical Content.

If you’re not already segmenting your newsfeed into interest lists, you’re missing out. Interest lists give you a way to quickly and easily sort and filter the reams of content passing through your newsfeed every hour.

By adding influential people and pages to industry-specific lists, you’ll always know what’s going on in your industry. For instance, if you notice many popular posts on a particular theme, you may want to add your voice to the conversation by writing a response post. Or if you get wind of any breaking news, you can be one of the first to share it with your audience.

Be sure to create lists based on not just what interests you, but also on what interests your fans. To see which pages your Facebook fans like, go to Graph Search and type in the following:

This will give you a list of pages your fans like and follow, which you can then add to an interest list to keep apprised of topics and issues your fans care about.

3. Social Media Trending Topics Let You Know What Your Followers Are Talking About.

If you want to find out what your friends and followers are talking about on social media, it pays to keep an eye on Trending Topics.

All the major players – including Facebook, Twitter and Google+ – give you access to trending topics.

To find these short, real-time lists of popular topics you just have to know where to look: For Facebook, look just to the right of your newsfeed; for Twitter, check out the left sidebar; and in Google Plus, click on the ‘Explore’ tab.

These lists are automatically generated, giving you timely information regarding what your fans, friends and followers are currently discussing.

4. Use Quora to Find Popular Questions.

Quora allows you to search for questions their users have asked related to specific topics. And because Quora users can vote on which questions they find most pressing and relevant, you can get a feel for how popular the topic will be.

For instance, if I type in ‘social media’, I get the following results:

From this one simple search, you can clearly see that social media ROI is an important issue, and one that may be worth pursuing. At this point you can simply write a blog post based on what you’ve found, or you can go ahead and actually answer the question for some added publicity.

5. Keep an Eye on Your RSS Feeds to Find Industry-Wide Trends.

If you’re selective about which feeds you subscribe to – meaning you only subscribe to the best, most influential and popular blogs – you can feel pretty confident that you’re on top of the most important trends in your industry.

When you follow only a few sites, it can be difficult to gauge what’s ‘trending’; however, if you have 20-30 sites you subscribe to, popular topics start to jump out at you.

For our purposes, you don’t even need to actually read all the posts: simply scan through the headlines to see if you notice any common themes or breaking news. You may also want to consider subscribing to comment feeds on some of the most popular or relevant posts so you can keep on eye on related questions or feedback the post inspires.

Conclusion

Using the 5 strategies above will give you a great start at finding topics that are trending in your industry; but keep in mind your goal isn’t just to simply rehash the same old content that everyone else is talking about.

Put an original spin on the topic, and think about what you can add to the conversation based on your own knowledge and experience. This will ensure you’re not just adding ‘noise’ to the discussion, but actually making a meaningful contribution.
