  • A UA-cam Channel can be such a fun hobby -- but it can also be SO much more than that. BUT, having a big "successful" channel doesn't necessarily mean you'll make much money from it.
    (In fact, I know way too many people with hundreds of thousands of followers who barely make enough to pay their rent.)
    Your channel could be the basis of a profitable business, and I'm not just talking about ad revenue. Nope, there are several other ways you can make a living on UA-cam, and in this video I'm breaking down exactly what I did to turn my channel into a profitable business.

    I’m a medical doctor considering starting a medical channel where I discuss topics that people would like to know more about that they may not be able to ask their doctors. I want to help people actually understand things like how certain diseases wok, why certain diets do or do not work and other medicine related scientific discoveries. I also want to answer questions like “why do I have to wait so long to see the doctor? Or why doesn’t my doctor listen to me?” I plan to start my channel in January 2019. It would be great to know what people would actually like to learn or get from a you tube channel.

    Hi gillian and followers! It's Cheri Frazier here. My channel is about coping with stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression, BPD, and ptsd using crafting and hobbies. I am still working out my full plan, and only have a few videos, but I plan to start posting tomorrow, doing weekly videos. I'm pretty excited about it! Thanks so much for allowing us to share, Gillian. All the love!

    Gillian, I have been loving all of your videos and taking note on different things for when I start my Channel. (I actually have two videos) It's so funny because after my husband edited it, I watched it and said, "oh no, it's louder in this spot! Gillian said not to do that!". 😂 But then you have also said basically that our first videos are not going to be the best, just get it up there so we can get used to doing it and they will get better.....So I didn't worry about fixing every little thing. Just concentrating on how to make it better and to concentrate on a lead magnet in order to start my email list. 😎 Thanks again

    Hi Gillian. My name is Vikas. I am a citizen of India who has been watching your tube channel for quite some time now. I don't exactly know how often you do UA-cam videos, but, all I can say is that, after watching your UA-cam videos, I have certainly got the much needed confidence in life for me which was lacking earlier. You voice fills me with a lot of energy and enthusiasm and makes me grow stronger day after day. If I were to be with you at the time of making the videos, I would have certainly assisted you in making all of your videos. Although I do not know exactly which country you are from, I like both you and your videos a lot. Pls keep "videoing" like these continuously Gillian.

    I am a designer. I create DIY, Crochet tutorial videos. I inspire women to love their bodies and learn to create the clothes that adorn their curves, shapes and different forms. I teach them how to design a crochet garment that fits them perfectly. I use to have Sunday Talk on my channel as well.

    I am an English and Latin teacher. I have seriously considered doing a UA-cam series on diagramming sentences with the history and rationale behind the process. If I apply what makes it interesting in my class, I think I can make it interesting on video... I’m hoping to use whiteboard apps, NOT me in front of the whiteboard. Since few programs still use diagramming, I thought about approaching it from the “why this will help your writing” angle...I could really use some insight into whether or not this is worth the effort to create...

  • @thegardenofeve
    @thegardenofeve 5 років тому

    Thank you so much Gillian, for another helpful video. I have been following you for quite some time now and have learned so much. So much so, that I will start my own business officially in February 2019. I will do online counselling in mental health and nutrition (for people with eating disorders, or people with health issues. I also have experiential knowledge on autistic people with eating disorders). Anyhow, I started my youtube channel a few months ago, perhaps already half a year ago. I have been slacking on it because it started to overwhelm me. I basically wanted to do too much social media stuff. Also, the camera and sound wasn't that great, but I invested in better equipment. Now I have decided to post one video every week on my channel on how to improve your wellbeing. I will also start a podcast on 'how to get your shit together', that I will also place on my channel. I will continue to post occasional spoken poetry, depending on my creativity.
    I also wanted to add, that, I fully agree that a large audience isn't necessarily better for your business, or for businesses who want to promote products through influencers. For example, I only have about 3000 followers on instagram, but have a high engagement rate of about 7%, while about 3% is healthy, and some extremely large accounts are even below that 3%. My point is, percentage wise I am more effective in reaching people. Because my account is not too big, I am able to reply to most people ,even in my DM's and am able to create trust. In addition, my instagram community also makes me feel supported emotionally. (p.s. on my instagram @the_gardenofeve I post poetry, photography and overall positivity).
    To anyone who has read my post this far, thanks :).

    I have started a blog and set up a youtube channel, but so far only have two videos up. I have 34 years experience working with performance education and ministry with a concentration on puppetry, I design, build and perform. I want my channel to be educational, but its difficult getting out of my own head long enough to produce the video instead of not getting it up because I end up being my own worst critic.

    This is such good advice! I started my channel in order to educate people on my line of business, so I definitely agree with you on offering value. I have learned a lot from you and other content creators about how to build an audience/increase watch time/etc. and can’t wait to have a channel as successful as yours! I know I’ll get there someday! I’m working on a book and would definitely consider creating a course in a few years!

    Gillian, I have been wanting to start a YT channel for so long... and after finding your channel, I dedicate myself to watch one video a day (sometimes more when I have time). And I think I'm ready to bit the bullet and just jump in - cause I'm never going to be "ready" lol. I won't do it under THIS email address. I want to do it under my name and not my photo biz name. But I'm going to start a creativity inspiration/education channel.

  • @AmandavanderGulik
    @AmandavanderGulik 5 років тому

    Hi Gillian, first of all I just want to thank-you from the bottom of my heart for all of your amazing videos! I feel like I've finally found a UA-cam mentor who 'gets' me! I love how full each of your videos are of pure content that we can actually use right away. I love how honest and sincere you are and that you go between business tips and self-empowerment.
    You asked us to leave a comment saying what niche our own UA-cam channels are in. I'm actually at a stand-still at the moment. I would love any input you may have and this may actually be a great topic for your audience for a future video for you as well. (haven't done the keyword research but have a gut feeling that I'm definitely not the only UA-camr facing this problem.
    So here it is: I started my channel way back in 2011 when I baked a cake and wanted to show others how to bake my favourite family secret sponge cake recipe (yup, no longer a secret! tee hee Thanks UA-cam :D ) My ex-husband edited the video for me and we signed up to UA-cam and uploaded our first video. A few years later it actually suddenly went viral, we had no idea why but were super excited. We had signed up for adsense to allow ads on our channel (before there was a limit to how big your channel was to be allowed to add ads) and it went from a few years of trickling in at around $0.10/mo to one day suddenly a steady $20/mo ad revenue on a cake that cost me 3 hours of my time to bake and edit the video for and about $10 to actually make the cake!
    Cake baking and decorating was just a side personal hobby I had, it wasn't my main passion. My main passion was teaching children about money, more specifically teaching them how to take their own natural talents and passions and turning it into a recurring passive income. I used my how to bake a cake video as one example.
    I didn't really know anything about UA-cam or UA-camrs or Viewers and how things worked. I just kept uploading content as I created it and ended up having two very different niches (cake decorating) and (teaching children about money) on one channel with a bunch of fun (life hacks) and two sub-channels for my kiddos (one for each).
    So as you can imagine, not very stream-lined at all. However I just kept increasing my ad revenue without knowing why, not by a huge amount though, kinda hovered between $20-$40/mo mainly coming from the how to bake a cake video, that would vary in income based on the season.
    Then after my divorce (and recovering from almost dying in a 3 week coma when my lungs gave up on me and I miraculously survived ARDS - acute respiratory distress syndrome - that most don't survive) I realized that I would not be physically able to bake or decorate cakes as a regular thing any more. I actually had to completely stop all progress on my UA-cam channel and business websites for about 2 years while recovering and going through rehab.
    I know this is long, but I think I'm not the only one who started on UA-cam very naively and then suddenly built a small fan base and now has no clue which direction to go! And you are so amazing at getting down to the nuts and bolts of UA-cam and our wonderful viewers on this amazing platform.
    So my question is should I maybe separate my channel into three different ones instead? One for cake decorators, one for parents and one for my true passion entrepreneurship and life-empowerment. I'm thinking of moving the cake and the kids ones to separate channels (keeping the old videos up but having them encourage redirection to the new channels) and then using my base one for my true passions.
    Hope this all makes some sense. Again, thank-you so much for your time, I know you are a very busy woman and I really appreciate all you do. Hope one day to be able to help you as much as you have already helped me.
    Hugs ... Amanda ... Excited Life Enthusiast! ;o)

    I'm gonna test the jobs, do the math, show the expectation and then show the reality after 1 week, to see which way is better.
    That's what I'm thinking about.

I’m interested in reviewing language training programs I’ve been in, teaching free Spanish lessons, reviewing textbooks for language teachers, etc. Not sure exactly which way to go, whether to pick a niche or do a variety of stuff, etc. I’m an American expatriate and university professor living in Taipei, Taiwan and I wonder if being an expat will be challenging in any way if I sign up for a You Tube channel.

    I would like to start a UA-cam channel to on Lymphedema. I am an Occuaptional Therapist who specializes in treating this condition and there is such a need for good information to be put out there. Kind of nervous to take the dive into doing this. Your videos are great and I am trying to make the plan and then DO IT!

    We have a UA-cam channel about moving abroad (to Mexico), downsizing (sold most belongings + our house), living each day to the fullest by escaping the 8-to-5 and embracing a slower pace of life.

    Interesting, indeed. I have a UA-cam channel about beauty, but I am adding the faith component to it very soon!

    I agree with this video but it does come down to luck a bit too.
    The algorithm has never promoted a single one of my 90+ videos to a broader audience. 80% of my views on a daily basis are from search and it's this lack of love from the UA-cam algorithm that has really has hurt my growth. 3% of my views come from suggested.
    I'll keep going though, but I'm going to slow down with making 2-3 vids a week as i'm not getting any ROI from it. Maybe one video a week is better.

    I have been creating videos for several years now, but just started taking it more seriously this year. I create videos for spiritual, new age, and metaphysical practitioners to learn and grow in their craft and navigate modern lifestyles and relationships. :D I have 30 years experience in the field, so I feel like I have some stuff to share on the topic.

    Great info, thank you! 😊 I just started a mom channel, but I also love philosophy and psychology, so I’m not sure if I can work that in somehow. I’m stuck there currently. A sort of identity crisis, channel wise... Some days I want my channel name to be Jenny and Crew (mom channel) and other days A Jenny for your Thoughts (phil and psych) 😅 If anyone has any advice about combining them, or instead to niche down and keep them separate, I’d be grateful! ❤️

    Hey Gillian! I don't see the link to the Information Business Quickstart Guide, the one linked below is the Channel Launch one :). Great video, thank you! I especially appreciated the advice on not building on one platform only. When I make blog posts I embed the corresponding UA-cam video but I'm thinking maybe I should upload that video directly to my website server instead..but then again I do like embedding because my channel is new and I'm trying to grow an audience. What do you think Gillian?

    Great info, thank you! I've been wanting a channel for a while but haven't known where to start. Do you think you needed your blog up and running, so you had a place for your products, before starting UA-cam or do feel like they stay pretty separate?

    My UA-cam channel is Colouring In Book and I do speed art videos and colouring in tutorials. I'm very new and with each video I learn more on how to edit and film so I am slowly building my content. I am looking forward to doing vlogs and other great content in the future.
