Everybody wants to earn their first buck in the worldwide-world platforms.
You can now indeed able to make money on the internet, yes the internet, you didn't hear me wrong, YouTube and Blogging are both the best platform and methods to earn a huge bunch of money. However, we often started as a single publisher or a single creator, so we can't really split our self into half by creating videos and publishing blog content.
Yet unbiasly, it is always easy to start writing a blog content because even if you are creating videos for YouTube, you need to have a script to perform the recordings. Thus, having a script means the first thing that you need it as an actual content in written form, so that is the meaning why written form is suitable for posting into your blogging career first before posting into YouTube channel. Even though if you start to record videos in YouTube, you still can then vice versa publish your script content into your Blogging career later if the video has tones of views.
I think the question here is very obvious, is Earning Money on YouTube Faster Than Blogging?
Lets look into steps of Making Videos In YouTube (I assume that you had your channel created):
Step 1.
You Need To Know Your Niche(Field/Industry/Experience/Hobby) That You Understand Most.
We all know that Youtube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world in video format. Everyone has their own expertise in their field, no matter your hobbies, career, makeup, fitness, entertainment, gaming, vlogging, tutorials, comedian, and many more. No matter what niches you expert in, your viewer or subscriber want to learn something from your video. If your video can helps them to solve their problems, this is even much more valuable for them as they will help you to share into various platform of their social media. This proves that Youtube's algorithm is very smart in understanding what your audiences are searching for and shows them what they really want accurately. So, make sure that your video brings value to your subscriber in the aspect of education, motivation, emotional healing, entertainment, and much more. The easiest way to know if your niche is famous to watch that is simple, so just Search on Youtube whether you have other competitors or not, and to know that you can do better than them and get more views in that specific niche topics, and start doing now.
Step 2.
Focus on Making the Series of Topics That Gets Huge Attracting (Videos With Most Views = Focus Making That Video More, & Repeat That)
Once you had wide sub topics of videos focusing your niche that you had posted in Youtube, then you can monitor in analytics that who and where is your audience from, and also which videos gets more views. This is where you know what kind of capability your channel worth to be, then start to focus on the specific topics by getting into it much more detail and elaborate with step-by-step guide by assuming that everyone starts from zero to learn about your topics. Then repeat another specific sub topics and keep repeating until your video is growing like crazy.
Step 3.
Monetize Your YouTube Channel Now (Earning Money Now With Your YouTube Channel).
Now is the great moment for you to start considering earning you first buck in Youtube. The method to earn money in YouTube is by enabling advertising (Adsense) on your channel. So, ensure that you are following the YouTube Partner Program policies, have already more than 4,000 public watch hours in the last 12 months, and also have more than 1,000 subscribers. If you have these requirements met, then linked your Youtube channel with your AdSense account (So ensure to create your Adsense account too).
Step 4:
You actually can earn from the advertising of CPV (Cost Per View) or CPC (Cost Per Click). CPV is when someone watches number of ads in your video, Youtube will pay you only in views despite the click inside the video. While for CPC is how you earn when Youtube pays you based on the number of clicks on the ads. With these both earning coming together, the chances you earn more is always able to outperform what you can do in Youtube than Blogging.
So now you may curious about how much can we really earn in Youtube right? You can actually be earning less, and be earn more depending on the niches of your video, but I had earned at an average amount of USD $0.5 to $2 per 1000 views in Health and Wellness videos. Thus daily income is at about USD $5-20 if you have 10,000 views a day. I can now get more views at 100,000 today consistently, which gives our channel the income of $50-200 USD per day. However, thanks to the huge demographic such as India, which can give us the huge amount of views at 100,000 view per day, but the incomes is lesser at about USD $9-100 per 100,000 views a day, based on CPC of USD $0.09 to $1 per 1000 views. Good news is, not all country are paying low, you can expect to earn more as long you are focusing on the international language our favorite "English".
Step 5:
Focusing On The HUGE Earning Video Topics & The Most Views.
How do we earn more is actually based on the niche topics where advertisers pays more especially in the niches of, vloggers, storytime video, technology, gaming channel, tutorial, product reviews, weight loss or health lifestyle, and food reviewer videos. The advertisement usually loves to repeat in this niches around 2 minutes which makes them very profitable in this niches.
Demographic of your subscriber also important to earn more especially top advertiser coming from rich country such as USA, UK and a lot of western country will pays more to Youtubers, though you can't control who is subscribing into your channels, but most Youtubers will have their own specific audience targeted whenever they are showing their faces, country they stayed in, videos location taken, language you are using, and etc that can resemble a much more closer relationship with their own paying countries. So ensure you use suitable language, such as "English" to get more international reach.
Step 6:
Snow-Ball Effect, Grow More & Moore:
The most views sometime comes from India, which is very huge and responsive subscribers who loves to get into watching Youtube videos. Even though their location is paying a little lesser than what we expect (around 0.09$ to 1$ per 1000 views), but their huge watching time and responsiveness had brings the entire industries much more crowded. Take an example: Pewdiepie the most subscribers in Youtube is now almost (defeated/same/lesser) than this new India Music Video Record Company called as (T-Series). We had not know that when Pewdiepie will take-over or lesser than T-Series channel yet, but it is very obvious that India subscriber is increasing and more views will be going into Youtube to supply a much more profitable earnings for you the Awesome "Video Creators".
Now, let look into steps in Starting a Blogging Career (I assume that you had your Blog Created):
Step 1:
Know What Niche (Field/Hobby/Experience/Interest) You Are Good At Writing:
Writing a blog is very interesting especially when you love to think, talk and type. It is now getting even simple where you can use Speech-To-Text application to easily convert your voice/speech into text form, and simple put minor effort in touching a bit here and there to post your awesome content. There are tones of topics you can write in a blog, but by focusing down into a much more specific topics and easily caught the attention of your audience, even can make them repeatedly binge reading your helpful post or contents.
Step 2:
Monitor What Your Blogging's Audience or Visitor's Interest:
You can now easily monitor your audience's demographic and traffics where they are coming from and how they search to find you. With these states, you can pretty easily understand what your visitors want when their are coming into your blog/website. Simple to say, your focused niche content that you wrote will a have huge sub-topics to write for continuing helping others, but you should be more focus in targeting those visitors who wants a much more detail and specific answers to their question. So, by helping them, you can write a long blog post or contents about how you can help them solving their problems. Even though this sounds like giving away free information, but as soon you help more and more people will comes to your blog/website, that will generate a much more sharing of your page into different social media like facebook, twitter, pinterest and much more. This helps your audience value what you do and indeed will profits you back largely.
Step 3:
Focused Writing and Publishing More Niche Based Content That Your Visitor Likes About.
It is very easy for you to lay back in this passive income career or industry, but you don't want to stop writing after you see some visitors coming in. The reason is because google loves to Rank active writers or publisher since more and more Blogger/content writer find ways to Rank higher than you. So, ensure that you write more contents to be posted in your blog/website as this helps to put you to be Rank at the top of the search every time related topics were searched. Visitor loves to hang around your website when your webpage have a tones of helpful and new information that can helps them solve their problems. Most blogging expert encourage first time bloggers to keep posting at-least 150 useful post ranging at 2000 words per post within the period of 3 months in order to be rank much more faster.
Step 4:
How To Make Money by Monetizing Your Blog with Advertising.
Don't worry about your earning first because you need more visitors to gain significant earnings after that. Monetizing your webpage/blog too soon will keeps your audience away, and this is not what you want to do. You want to write more post as mentioned 150 useful original post within 3 months, then you can apply the monetization by using advertising (Adsense/Media.net/more).
Step 5:
Focus On Your Ads (Advertising) Placement Best To Get Your Audience To Click.
Adsense is Google's advertising company where they provide advertising banner to be placed at your blogs or website. This helps you to earn when someone clicked your advertising, but you should not click on your own ads because this is prohibited and can get banned by the Google Adsense program. With this, you should plan well is placing your ads correctly fitted into your blog or website, as this helps your visitors to not be overwhelm by tones of advertising throwing into their face. So you want to place your advertisement at the sidebar, header, footer, and even inside your blog post. There are many tutorials about the placement of ads correctly that you can search in Youtube, go understand it better because we all have different template of blog/website.
Media.net is a Yahoo!'s advertising company, as they also provide a much more similar banner to be place at your website or blog. This applies the same as when someone clicked your ads, you earn from that. The good part is that they have a dedicated account manager to help you adjust the placements of your ads in order to help you earn much more. This is very helpful for those who want to earn more, as their had claimed that after the adjustment of ads placement, the site or blogs had earn 3 times much more than before.
Step 6:
How Much Can You Earn From Blogging? What You Can Do...
The money at goes to Adsense is from Adwords Advertisers, so their advertisement will the be displayed at your website.
Then, how can we estimate our Adsense earning actually?
The estimation of our Adsense earning is simple, all you need is to figured our the CPC (Cost-Per-Click) of ad unit, CTR (Click-Through-Rate) and Page Visitors.
The easier formula you can use to calculate your Adsense Earning as below:
CPC x CTR x Page Visitors = Your Earnings
For the fair comparison with youtube, we have the same 1000 visitors per day, if each of the visitor who will at most case click to view for about 2 post/pages, then you will get 2000 page views in a day.
Assume that we use the lowest CPC which is USD $0.5, then your CTR is around 0.1% (1 ads clicks in a 1000 page views), thus you will have the earning of:
CPC x CTR x Page Visitors = Your Earnings
USD $0.5 x 0.001 x 1,000 = USD $0.5 per day.
USD $0.5 x 0.001 x 10,000 = USD $ 5 per day.
USD $0.5 x 0.001 x 20,000 = USD $10 per day.
Making at $300 dollars a month ($10 x 30 days) is quite some side incomes you can generated for. As you grow larger with much more blog post or contents, you can make around $1,000 per month with 66,000 Page Visitors per day.
