What to do if you want to promote your channel0:32
How to make money on YouTube0:25
You can’t start making money off YouTube until you get 4,000 hours of watch time, and 1,000 subscribers. That’s loads of hours of work to get there. On a channel that’s just starting off with just one video a week, that takes about a year. And even then, it’s hard to make enough money to make a living.
So if you want to make money from making videos, you can look at other avenues, like getting sponsorships from companies for certain types of content. YouTube’s FameBit, which helps YouTubers tie up with Sponsors. To have a FameBit account, you need 5,000 subscribers.
