How to make money on youtube
I used to think about the content areas of YouTube
such as finance, digital, beauty, tourism and other fields with high unit prices
and the technical fields that are suitable for me and can be quickly produced
and the passive income field of digital nomads recording about making money
and the field of food vlogs that are currently being operated
But currently only short videos have a little income, and long videos have almost no traffic
And long videos take time and energy, such as editing, shooting and publishing a video for 8 hours, but the money earned is only $0.01, which is completely disproportionate. If I really continue like this, I would have starved to death long ago.
Photography method
The biggest gain today is that I don’t have to worry about food or beauty, finance or digital
but to change my way of photography
I have many shooting methods now, such as basic mobile phone video
and go3 chest video
There are gopro sports cameras, neck hanging accessories, handheld selfie stick accessories
There are also computer cameras, etc.
But what I want to record today is drone video, remote control car video, AR virtual reality, radar, thermal imaging, panoramic camera, telescope, etc.
Take drones for example
You can record from the sky, you can take pictures of the house in your hometown, the roof, the birds on the tree, the middle of the fish pond and the panoramic view of the countryside
You can shoot the scenery of some scenic spots such as the riverside, park, mountain, seaside, night market, etc.
You can let the drone track and shoot when you are riding, and you can let it track and shoot when you are walking The drone can follow you and take selfies at any time, and you can take pictures in the room
Free your hands, remove geographical and spatial restrictions, and even take pictures at home with the drone on rivers, lakes, rooftops, communities, and places a few kilometers away
It is a perspective of the sky that you can never take with your mobile phone, such as the old house in my hometown, I will never know what the roof of my hometown looks like
I want to take pictures of the roof of my hometown, the countryside of my hometown, and the fish pond of my hometown
I want to take pictures of me walking by the river (but I don’t want to hold the phone or selfie stick, or put it on the ground to take pictures), but the drone will automatically follow me while I walk
I want to take pictures of me walking or sitting in the park, I can drink fruit tea, eat bread and other snacks, and while freeing my hands, I can take pictures of my whole body, front or back
I want to record rivers, lakes, mountains, etc. Natural scenery, drones can fly over the river, fly to the top of the mountain, cross the broken road, and reach places I can’t reach
Secondly, there are remote-controlled cars. At home or in the community, they record household items or daily content from the microscopic perspective of the ground, such as under the bed, such as interacting with kittens, and other content to be tried
There are also panoramic cameras, 360-degree rotation recording, so as not to miss any possible beautiful moments
It can be said that the scenery and life that are usually considered ordinary are also very good from different perspectives
For example, drones, although people cannot fly, they can have a flying perspective, which is more convenient and safer
Now the intelligent hovering and intelligent following of drones completely free your hands and realize the automation of shooting
To a certain extent, it can reduce the waste of manpower, such as not having to find a dedicated photographer, and not having to be reserved in front of the photographer Or etiquette, do whatever you want in front of the drone, don’t worry about privacy issues, and even drones can shoot in places that photographers can’t reach, such as branches, floors, and rivers.
So one of my youtube channels is mainly about sharing daily food, which is a beautiful thing that crosses borders without language and brings traffic (life vlog)
Another channel decided to use different camera angles to record life, especially drones, followed by other angles, such as remote control cars, panoramic cameras, glasses first-person perspective, etc. (open source hardware, mainly drones)
Another channel is planned to be technical and vps commission, but it is only recorded here. If you want to really operate, you have to look at the specific situation. After all, I have tried it, and it is tiring and not profitable. It is better to use it yourself, not share it, and spend time elsewhere.
Blog Traffic
Since deploying the open source ntfy Android notification and linking it with the WordPress blog
Today, the second day, I saw two unfamiliar visitor records. Although I can’t make money, this is indeed a real positive feedback
I don’t need to check the data visualization panel every morning or evening to know that someone has visited my blog today
Although there are not many visits, even if there is only one, I will be very happy to be informed in real time, and my mood will be good all day
This is also a benefit of knowing technology
When you don’t make money, you especially need these tiny positive feedbacks
For example, you have eaten a cheap and delicious food
You see a free beautiful scenery or a beautiful woman on the street
Or the blog has new readers
Or the video has been watched and commented on, etc.
Speaking of this, I have never added the function of commenting to the blog Yes, I use the default comments of wordpress, not third-party plug-ins
I used to be proactive, but now I have learned threshold and passivity, because there is no need to be too kind to the world. Only when you are safe enough, excellent enough, have extra time, energy and money, can you consider sharing and kindness
Now I will only consider opening comments when the traffic reaches a certain amount, such as 100 visits a day, so that I can spend time on the right things when there is no traffic in the early stage
In addition, I found that Google search engine seems to have no interest in blog posts without pictures. Even if I have updated dozens of blog posts with rich content, today’s readers only view blog posts with pictures
So if I have time later, I will try my best to match the articles with corresponding pictures
After all, a picture is better than ten thousand words
Today’s record is here
