You have to face stiff competition to earn from YouTube. First, you need to build a steady audience on your video streaming platform. Only then can you reach the desired goal. There are a few things you need to take care of first. It is not the case that you just uploaded the video and earned it. That's why you need to understand various things and work. There are some rules and formalities to go through.

> Before creating a video, first decide the audience you want to take your video to. After that, you have to create videos for that audience and establish communication with the audience. Choose the appropriate topic before creating the video. Make videos only on that topic. This will facilitate communication with the audience. Work with different brands on that specific topic.

> A good camera, lighting, and microphone can give your video a more professional look. Post videos regularly. Each video should be accompanied by keywords. Get traffic from your videos to social media and your blogging website.

> To earn from YouTube, the channel must have at least 1000 subscribers. You don't get paid per subscriber. However, the more subscribers there are, the higher the earning potential. For example, if you want to do promotional work hand in hand with different brands, the more subscribers you have on your channel, the more you can earn.

> 4000 hours of views in the last 12 months to start earning with 1000 subscribers. The more views you get, the higher your earning potential will be. However, if someone clicks on the link shown above your video and sees the full ad, only then will you earn from YouTube.

> But making a living just from showing ads on YouTube can be difficult at first. For this reason it is necessary to put other work together. You can join the YouTube Partner Program to display ads on your channel's videos. The video streaming platform shares a portion of the revenue from each video with the content creator.

> Can do fan funding. Once you get some viewers on your channel, you can earn from the viewers on websites like Patreon, Tipee or Buy Me A Coffee.

> You can increase your earnings through affiliate marketing. But if you are associated with any brand, tell it in the video.

> Can do video licensing. Think if your video goes viral, different media will pay you extra to stream that video. This is video licensing.
