I started this YouTube channel around three years ago but it now makes me a income big enough to live off completely but I've noticed that between 2016 and now in 2020 a lot has changed around how YouTube works so from noticing these changes I put together this video that's going to cover four YouTube channel ideas I've come up with for you to follow withy our channel in 2020 these ideas are going to make sure you're doing things right and setting yourself up to make money on YouTube things are changing all the time and you need to make sure you're following the most up-to-date information and also avoiding the latest mistakes and that's exactly what this video is going to teach you how to do okay so let's get started my first idea for anyone starting a YouTube channel in 2020 to make money is you need to make sure you're building your channel within the right category there's certain topics that you can build your channel around and focus your videos on and these topics are going to determine how many views you get and how much YouTube pays you for the advert shown on your channel and the topics that have opportunities around them changes from year to year so you need to make sure you're focusing on a topic that's lucrative in 2020.
So one of the ways we can find out what topics have the most potential around them is we can look at the youtuber rich list of 2019 so this shows us the youtubers that made the most money in the last 12 months and we can actually look through this list and see what topics those youtubers focus on so what's profitable right now in 2020so if you scroll through this list we can see that we've got a gaming channel another gaming channel another gaming channel a channel that started on games and PewDiePie the first five most richest youtubers are old gamers we've then got a makeup channel a channel that has like a daily talk show a channel aimed at kids a trick shot Channel and to top it off the top youtuber is a channel aimed at kids so just from looking at that list we can get some ideas straightaway that some popular categories in 2020 they're gonna be making people a lot of money our gaming channels make up channels so if I was starting my channel today.
I could look at this list and think maybe I'm gonna become a popular makeup blog and I could start making videos on makeup what do you think think I can pull it off we can also look at lists like this that shows the 21 profitable YouTube channel ideas that you can follow to make the most money on the platform we can see we've got makeup on their gaming food yoga fitness and so on and so forth if you're starting in 2020you can use lists like this to guide you to make sure you're starting your channel looking at the right topic I started this channel out just as a general vlog documenting my time traveling I was a bit lost in life didn't really know I wanted to do but I knew that I wanted to make videos and the channel slowly morphed into a marketing YouTube channel which if we jump onto the screen now we can see digital marketing is number 11 as a profitable YouTube channel idea and as I said at the start this video this channel now makes me enough money with just thirty thousand subscribers to live off the earnings full-time so finding the most profitable channel categories of this year 2020 and making a channel within that category is my first idea for you if you wanted to start a channel and make money in 2020 the second idea.
I got for you if you want to start a channel this year and make money is make sure you're not letting YouTube take money away from you so what do I mean by this well YouTube has a lot of like rules regulation and guidelines and if you break those rules YouTube can decide to either give you no money at all or a miniscule amount of money so it's important to keep track of policy changes every year and make sure that your channel is compliant with any of the recent policies YouTube has in place now in this channel I'm always striving to update you with the latest policy changes that could affect you making money on the platform to go ahead and subscribe to this channel if you want to keep up to date with the latest policy changes happening at YouTube and making sure that your channel is a- ok a recent example of these YouTube's policy changes in 2020 is you tube's decided to actually blacklist kids channels so any channels making content aimed at children is going to be heavily de-monetized so those top ten youtubers from last year that had like the top spot on the third spot the most richest YouTube is that's not going to be the case in2020 because YouTube is now punishing channels that have kid focused content now I spoke about this more in the this video here because you're actually now as a youtuber have to go into the back system settings of YouTube and actually manually tell YouTube you are not a creator making kid content if you don't do that YouTube will punish you and De-monetize YouTube I've done a technical like a step-by-step tutorial here of how to go into the YouTube settings it's how our YouTube that you're not a kid focused creator so goa head and check out that video if you want to know exactly how to show YouTube that you're not a kid focused channel and just remember idea number two in general make sure that YouTube isn't taking money away from you by staying compliant with the most recent policy changes okay so the third YouTube channel idea for 2020 to start your YouTube channel and make money is to make sure you're maximizing the amount of money YouTube pays you so on average YouTube typically pays you around $2 for every thousand views your channel gets and this is typically based on the reward YouTube gives you for that five seconds skippable ad that shows before your videos but one thing you can do to increase the amount of money that YouTube pays you per thousand views is have more than just one and on each video that you make and the way you dot his is by increasing the video length of your videos to make sure that over ten minutes long because YouTube actually allows you when you've got a video that's ten minutes or longer it allows you to go in and manually add more adverts into your video so by having multiple ads in each video you're going to be getting paid more than if that video just had one ad in it so as are suit you're going to be getting paid more per thousand views and you can be boosting up from $2 per thousand views to even higher than that now if you want to know the exact process to put ads in your videos and start making money with YouTube go ahead and subscribe to this channel and ring the notification bell because next week's video is going to be all about YouTube ads.
how to get accepted onto the program and then once you've been accepted how to manually put them into your videos to make sure you're making as much money as possible so subscribe to the channel and keep an eye out for that video next Monday okay another way you're gonna maximize the amount of money that YouTube pays you is you're gonna make sure that your videos are drawing attention of audiences that make you the most money so what I mean by this is YouTube actually pays you more money if your audiences are in certain countries compared to if they're in other countries and a general rule of thumb here is YouTube pays you more for viewers that speak English compared tot he viewers that don't speak English so by using this logic people typically say that if you've got audiences in the UK Canada New Zealand America or Australia you tube's gonna pay you more money compared to if your audiences a reels where and that's a good rule of thumb but I actually looked at my data over the last three years in a previous video that you'll see here and I broke down exactly how much YouTube paid me for audiences in every single country in the world and actually the results were quite surprising those five countries were higher up there but they weren't the most rewarding countries of all the countries available so if you want to see exactly how much you cheap pays you per thousand views for every single country in the world and then you can use that information to decide who your target your videos out go ahead and give this video a quick watch when you get a chance to but in general having longer videos with audiences in countries where you get paid more it's going to maximize the amount of money that YouTube pays you but I never think you can do to make sure that you get more views of your channel is you can get a shout out a promotion from a channel that is bigger than you and that's exactly what I'm starting to do I want to start giving shout outs to people who watch my videos you want to get a shout out from my channel it has 30,000 subscribers what I want you to do is I want you to take a picture of this video or a screenshot of this video and go to Instagram and put the picture with all the screen so of this video as an Instagram story and what I'm going to start doing in the future is I'm gonna pick out randomly people who attacked me on Instagram in their Instagram story and I'm actually gonna have a little segment in future videos or I'm shouting out channels at people who watch this channel.
so if you want to get that little boost in viewership of your channel by receiving a shout out from this channel take the screenshot go to Instagram stories tag at start starting up and you could be one of the selected few that gets that shout out all right finally idea number four for your YouTube channel to get you started in making money in 2020 and idea number four is you need to explore other ways of monetizing your audience outside of YouTube so most people when they're starting a YouTube channel they only really think about the amount of money that YouTube is going to pay them for the adverts that are shown on their channel and that's all well and good like I said make sure to watch the next videos to make sure you're saying that we answer the right way but if you're just thinking about pads there's so many missed opportunities that you're just not seeing so to start one thing you could do is you could stop offering your merchandise to your audience so you could design a logo for your channel or like a catchphrase that you use in your channel and you can go to these websites such as tee spring and you can upload your design to those websites and that website will actually put your design on to different merchandise like t-shirts mugs hoodies phone cases and you can offer this merchandise as a product to your viewers and when you get an order from your viewer the website actually deals with making the product for you and sending it to the customer and all you do is sit back and receive the profits and if we look on the screen now if you actually use tee spring as your merchandise provider they have a partnership with YouTube where your merchandise can be shown underneath your videos when your videos are being watched and your viewers can actually order your merchandise on YouTube while they're watching your videos at the same time but the process of offering and selling merchandise to your audience is such an easy process no upfront cost to you and it's a way of making money off of YouTube that so many people just don't know about another way that you can make money with your YouTube channel with it isn't YouTube ads is that you can start doing live streams and your audience can actually start donating to you through a live stream so I'm going to show you an example of this now we can see that in this live stream that there is a live chat box over here where viewers can come in and start chatting during the live stream but watch YouTube actually allows viewers to do is they can actually click this button here and start a super chat and they can actually donate money to the channel owner to the content creator and it can go up to 300 pounds if you're in Britain so you have a super chat where people can send you money during a live chat and you also have these super stickers that your audience can choose which all every time they choose a different sticker it sends you a different monetary value so live-streaming is just another example of how you can make money through your YouTube channel but not many people think about and finally you can sell your own products to your following so I always encourage people to make an educational type of YouTube channel because if you're making educational content you can then go and sell it educational products outside of YouTube so for example if you are a youtuber that makes videos on history so topics of history you might then goa head and decide to make a Kindle eBook on a specific event in history in far more detail in that book you could go into in a YouTube video and you can send your YouTube audience to Amazon to buy your Amazon e book turning your own products it's a great business model to make money for YouTube with if some thing I do with this channel as well you know on this channel I teach people how to sell products through YouTube and online video and I've actually got my own online cause my own products called the YouTube money-making Academy which I charge people admission to which teaches people how to make a profitable YouTube channel so that business model of having an educational.
YouTube channel and then selling additional products off YouTube is a great model that I use myself which is a really successful model for people to use on YouTube so just to quickly remind you those four YouTube channel ideas for making money in 2020 are make sure you're creating a channel within the right categories or on the right topic make sure you're avoiding YouTube taking money away from you by sticking to the policies YouTube has make sure you're maximizing the amount of money YouTube pays you by adopting a number of different strategies I covered in this video and for make sure you're exploring other ways of making money through your YouTube following off YouTube you want to make sure you're starting your channel right 2020 has a ton of opportunities but you need to make sure you're following the most up-to-date information and avoiding the most and latest mistakes that have been introduced so follow my ideas listed in this video and you're gonna be moving in the right direction on your way to
