Easier with YouTube earn money

Ads are no longer the only source of income for many YouTube content creators. With shirts, subscriptions and more, they hope fans to spawn and more business models to tap. YouTube is going there now to help. At VidCon 2018, Google has three new business models will be presented, that within now and a few weeks are available for popular vloggers.

Soon you can play your favorite YouTubers an extra helping hand to give them to sponsors. All YouTube users with more than 100,000 followers can have a sponsoroptie activate. Followers pay 5 euros per month, almost entirely to the vloggers. In return, you get access to some additional benefits.

So is there a emoji next to your username in comments and live chat, and get you some emoji that you can use in the reactions. In addition, owners can still offer additional benefits, such as special videos and livestreams that are only for paying users are visible. They can also offer a discount on merchandise, or access to other digital bonuses.

You watch a live stream on Twitch or a football game via the ‘old-fashioned’ television, then you can via chat or social media with other people chat about what you are watching. Everyone reacts in real-time, and that is what makes a video a real experience. With a lot of YouTube videos that doesn’t work: as soon as they are uploaded, it makes no difference whether you’re after a hour or after a year of looking.
