How To Make Money On YouTube

Making videos for YouTube was pastime for millions of web surfers but for Michael Buckley it is the way of making money !

Michael Buckley makes more than Rs.40 lakhs on his videos on YouTube

One year after YouTube invited members to become ‘partners’ and added advertising to their videos, the most successful users are earning more than $20,000 (Rs.10 lakh) a month from the website!

Michael Buckley (born June 8, 1975) is an American Internet personality and comedian. He has gained considerable recognition for his popular vlog What the Buck, in which Buckley gives humorous commentary on popular culture.

His YouTube details :

1. Joined: May 01, 2007
2. Subscribers: 314,012 ,
3. Channel Views: 6,138,213

What the Buck has over 300,000 subscribers, 100 million views and is the top rated show on You Tube. He occasionally covers sports and politics but would much rather talk about what happened on The Hills. Bonus episodes posted everyday on BuckHollywood.Com

Mr. Buckley, 33, was the part-time host of a weekly show on a Connecticut public access channel in the summer of 2006 when his cousin started posting snippets of the show on YouTube. The comical rants about celebrities attracted online viewers, and before long Mr. Buckley was tailoring his segments, called “What the Buck?” for the Web. Mr. Buckley knew that the show was “only going to go so far on public access.”

“But on YouTube,” he said, “I’ve had 100 million views. It’s crazy.”

While it’s all free and takes very little money to film your own amateur video – it take a whole lot more to create content that is of interest to others and then get it going viral.

But there’s a whole industry that’s cropped with books, articles and of course, videos that can help you along the way.
