I really don't watch TV anymore, I have a few shows I might watch, but it's more convenient to watch on Demand on my computer.
In the mean time, I've found myself on YT alot more, including channels that have discussions about shows I enjoy, where they discuss the week's episode. Some of these YT shows range from 5 minutes long to over an hour.
Game of Thrones is a show I enjoy following discussions on and there are plenty of decent shows with YouTubers that are entertaining.
Channels like mine, I can't monetize because I own, none of the content except for the video I shot. In order to monetize my videos, I'd have to get permission, not only from Haley, but also the song writers of the song she's performing.... I'm not sure if my math is correct (
), but my channel has averaged 57,000 views per month. If I were able to monetize, (correct me if I'm wrong) at 30 cents (low end) per thousand views, I'd be making $17.10 a month... $256.50 per year
If I were able to get $2.50 (High end range) per thousand views, that'd be 142.50 per month, $1710 a year, which starts looking like fairly decent, but you'd have to be getting good activity and subscriber numbers to earn the higher end of the per thousand money
It's not 'a living' but just like song writers collecting royalties, it's a small income stream that will pay you for ever. If you have non copyrighted content that's informative and entertaining, gaining consistent views (like how to videos), those will pay you for the rest of the time the video is up. Make more videos and they all contribute to the income stream
