IAmA Professional YouTuber with over 200k subscribers. AMA

[kpetar]

After three years of work, I'm finally a "full time" YouTuber and have big plans for the future.

Obligatory PROOF 1, PROOF 2

I'd love to answer any questions you have about growing subscribers, getting traffic, SEO, monetization, sponsorships and creating content. I hope I can at least provide some assistance to those that are trying to get their channel up from the ground.

youtubes monetization is absolutely crap nowadays. my earnings dropped from 7-8-9K months to 1.5-2.5k
hopefully it will bounce back

I came into this thread very suspicious of OP's claims.

Went to the article they linked, and was able to backtrack to the YouTube channel. Looks completely legitimate.

Great stuff, @kpetar. How have the subs and views translated to revenue?

I don't rely on Adsense.
Almost in every my video you will see logo of "Uradi sam", just like on cutting board here

"Uradi sam" in translation is "Do it yourself" and it is a largest DIY retail chain in my country. See here: https://uradi-sam.rs/

Edit - more examples:

(Phone), https://www.instagram.com/medic_luka/?hl=sr (top link is advertisement for app Moj trg),

for game, here is a whole playlist for phones https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVXgD2WyLDUWtyXeyHYgRsiTiSYZBK9w (mostly company GearBest)

Mostly with product placement and advertising local companies from my country.

[BP247]

@kpetar you are saying to just don't rely on adsense and avoid networks. Then what else do you suggest to monetize videos on YouTube?
Secondly, what SEO should be done to get the video ranked higher?
Please guide!

Bravo buraz, sve cestitke

OT:

Do you use views to boost engagement at the early beginning of the channel?

 

[super11]

Which tool do you use for editing videos?

 

[evalerian]

I'm a comedian on youtube with about 60k subs, but my channel grows really slow, my content is great, i have a ton of "millionare" youtubers that watch me, but my videos never seem to get the attention they deserve and its honestly depressing. Is there any way i can give you my channel link and you give me some advice?

 

[SMfelipe]

what program would you recommend to use for video editing for someone too poor to afford a good laptop?

 

[sitampan]

Should we fake some views and subs? I mean to make the watcher more interesting because our channel have a lot of views and subs.

 

[ZuzooVn]

How can get the recommended video?
