How to Make Money on YouTube: A Comprehensive Guide

How to Make Money on YouTube: 2024 Blueprint (Zero Fluff) | SBJ Global

YouTube Money Hacks That Beat Minimum Wage

1. The "Niche Down" Strategy (500 Subscribers)

Forget viral videos. According to TubeBuddy's 2024 data:

  • Micro-niche channels earn 3x more RPM than general content
  • "Boring" niches like appliance repairs average $15-$50 RPM

🔥 @CarpetCleaningGuy (4.3K subs) makes $8k/month reviewing vacuums. "I film during jobs – clients love the free promo!"

2. Affiliate Marketing Goldmine

Turn tutorials into cash machines:

  • Amazon Associates: 1-10% commissions
  • Software partnerships (Thinkific pays $1k/sale)
  • Creative Market: 10% recurring commissions

🎯 SBJ Hack: Use "Chapter Timestamps" to link products in video descriptions – converts 3x better than cards.

3. The Sponsorship Ladder

Land deals without 100K subs:

  • $300-$1k/video for nano-influencers (1K-10K subs)
  • Use PitchGround to find sponsors
  • Offer dedicated "How To" segments

4. Memberships That Actually Sell

YouTube's Member feature outperforms Patreon:

  • Exclusive live streams ($4.99-$24.99/month)
  • Behind-the-scenes content
  • Early video access

📈 @IndieGameDev (8K subs) earns $2.4k/month from 180 members. "I host monthly Q&A sessions – 80% retention rate."

5. Super Chat & Super Stickers

Turn live streams into instant income:

  • Top creators earn $5k+/stream
  • Best for tutorials and gaming
  • Prime time: Saturday evenings

SBJ Insight: Schedule streams 24h early – YouTube prioritizes upcoming live events in recommendations.

6. Content Licensing (Hidden Income)

Sell your footage through:

  • Jukin Media ($100-$5k/clip)
  • News outlets licensing B-roll
  • Stock video marketplaces

7. YouTube Shorts Fund

2024 updates make Shorts profitable:

  • $100-$10k/month based on views
  • Shorts now count toward YPP
  • Best format: 15-22 second tutorials
