Is it possible to generate good (or even better) income from publishing videos on YOUTUBE?
Many Youtube video publishers have the option to 'monetise' their videos by connecting with Google. (There are certain requirements & age restrictions.) The question stands; can the publisher of audience capturing pieces create a reasonable income from the Youtube/Google revenue, alone?
It all depends on how you plan it. If you are certain that you can come up with viral videos weekly, then YouTube is the best place for you. You must standout in order to survive in YouTube. hehe
Unless you have a REALLY good idea that will nearly go viral, making money on youtube is almost impossible.
Some have made it, and have thousands upon thousands upon thousands of followers earning millions of hits on their videos - but that's EXTREMELY rare. There aren't many people making good money on youtube.
Sure, you can make extra 100 or so per month, but it's going to take a LOT of hard work and time.
It is very difficult to get the kind of traffic that would generate income that you could live off on Youtube, but there obviously are some people who have done it. It just depends on what kind of content you have, and whether people will want to see it every day or week.
I've made a number of videos on a variety of topics that I don't want to do as a Hub and make about $20 a month from them. I just found them fun to make though and the money was an after thought.
It is nice to actually hear of one's personal experiences within such a venture. Thank you for sharing

I just posted some videos out on YouTube. I have read many of the comments so I am not shocked - luckily I did take the time to read the comments on many of the other videos.What should one do after a gross and inappropriate comment? The comment had the f bomb in it..
