0:25
already post on YouTube YouTube's
0:27
monetization system has received plenty
0:29
of changes and criticism over the years
0:31
but there's no denying that it does pay
0:33

0:36
channel needs to have no active
0:37
Community guideline strikes 1 000
0:39
subscribers and 4 000 public watch hours
0:42
in the last 12 months your revenue is
0:45
based on the ads shown before during or
0:47
after your videos and the payouts can
0:49
vary if you continuously get views on
0:51
your videos and you keep away from
0:53
content that advertisers may not want
0:54
their brands associated with you can
0:57
make good money from YouTube Just from
0:58
uploading your videos
1:00
YouTube also has donations in the form
1:02
of super chats for live streams and
1:04
super thanks for uploaded videos which
1:06
YouTube takes a 30 cut of number two
1:09
patreon patreon has long been the
1:12
website that creators go to to further
1:14
monetize their content from YouTube
1:15
Instagram or podcasting it allows fans
1:18
to pay a monthly subscription in order
1:20
to support their favorite creators in
1:23
return patreon encourages creators to
1:25
offer bonus premium content to their
1:27
supporters patreon is not necessarily a
1:30
dedicated content platform itself but it
1:32
has become the go-to for making a living
1:33
from creative entertainment work however
1:36
this platform does take a cut of your
1:38
earnings through various fees somewhere
1:40
between 5 and 12 percent dependent so
1:43
keep that in mind
1:44
number three Instagram
1:46
has a couple of ways for creators to
1:49
earn money by using certain features
1:50
although this has not always been the
1:52
case badges are a tool that Instagram
1:55
live streamers can use fans can purchase
1:57
badges to support the creators they
1:59
watch and those badges can show up next
2:01
to their usernames the platform also has
2:04
subscriptions it's a feature that at the
2:06
time of writing is still new and only
2:07
available to a limited number of
2:09
breeders it allows fans to pay a monthly
2:11
subscription to a Creator to gain access
2:13
to extra live streams and subscriber
2:15
only stories it stands to reason that
2:18
they will only expand this feature in
2:19
the future
2:21
number four Snapchat
2:23
reported in 2021 that they were paying
2:26
out one million dollars per day to
2:28
creators whose posts go viral through
2:30
the app Spotlight feature some creators
2:32
became millionaires just from this
2:34
feature if your video goes viral and
2:36
meets Snapchat's requirements you could
2:38
still see a paycheck from some of your
2:39
stories and videos
2:41
number five Spotify Spotify has spent
2:44
plenty of time making headlines for how
2:46
little they pay artists but you can
2:48
still make money on the platform
2:50
it is generally accepted that artists
2:52
can make three to five dollars per 1000
2:55
streams it's not a lot but it can add up
2:57
this really doesn't generate much if
2:59
you're a small artist though but there
3:01
are some great success stories stream
3:02
beats generated an unprecedented amount
3:05
of income by creating copyright free
3:07
music for Content creators to play
3:08
during live streams even though their
3:10
following beforehand wasn't huge the
3:12
music encouraged listeners to play their
3:14
music on repeat for hours on end rather
3:16
than just listening once and moving on
3:18
for your average musician every daily
3:20
listener will listen to about one to two
3:22
songs a day compare that to string beats
3:25
which gets about 40 streams per listener
3:28
because typically streamers are playing
3:30
this in the background behind their live
3:32
streams for hours on end every month it
3:35
makes about 146
3:38
000 number six skillshare skillshare and

4:07

4:09
using their referral link
4:11
number 7 twitch
4:13
twitch is a live streaming platform that
4:15
pays creators in several different ways
4:17
while the website is typically known for
4:19
its gaming content there is a huge
4:21
variety of genres and types of content
4:22
you can find including podcasts music
4:25
and crafts
4:26
the first way creators can make money is
4:28
by having ads appear in their streams
4:30
streamers can actually manually control
4:32
when they have ad breaks so the ads
4:34
don't affect the viewing experience
4:36
twitch also allows viewers to pay a
4:38
monthly subscription of 499 9.99 or
4:41
24.99 to a creator of which the Creator
4:44
receives 50 these recur every month
4:47
unless the subscriber manually cancels
4:49
meaning creators can make money month
4:51
over month twitch also lets viewers give
4:54
direct donations to streamers of which
4:55
twitch takes 30 percent however many
4:58
creators on the platform provide links
5:00
to donate directly via payment services
5:01
which allows the creators to take home
5:03
the full amount from a third party like
5:05
PayPal
5:06
number eight behance behance is a
5:09
Content platform for graphic designers
5:11
and other visual creators the platform
5:13
allows creators to set up monthly
5:14
membership subscriptions to give
5:16
followers special access to premium
5:18
content and downloadable resources you
5:21
can set your own subscription price and
5:23
can actually keep most of it Creative
5:25
Cloud members will have the platform fee
5:27
waived and will just have to take a cut
5:28
from the processing fee of stripe which
5:31
is 2.9 percent plus a 30 Cent fee for
5:34
those Without A Creative Cloud
5:35
membership the platform fee is 20 the
5:38
subscription system is still relatively
5:40
new so if you didn't get invited to the
5:42
program you may have to wait for it to
5:43
become more widely available but it is
5:45
likely to do so
5:47
number nine coffee
5:49
is a competing donation platform to
5:51
patreon but their major difference is
5:53
that coffee doesn't take any fees from
5:55
donations
5:56
they make money on their premium version
5:58
which unlocks more features for creators
6:01
while donations always have zero fees
6:03
other features come with a five percent
6:04
fee unless you pay for a subscription
6:06
this includes membership subscriptions
6:09
items you sell in the shop and
6:10
commissions however these fees will be
6:12
waived with a subscription the lowest
6:15
level of which is six dollars per month
6:17
if you pay annually it's a good website
6:19
for creators to receive support
6:20
especially if they want an alternative
6:22
to patreon number 10 medium if you're a
6:26
writer rather than a video creator or
6:28
social media Creator then medium is a
6:30
good place to start to get paid for your
6:31
work it's not incredibly hard to find a
6:34
paid writing gig but writing on media
6:36
means you get to write about whatever
6:37
you want instead of being contained to
6:39
just one topic
6:40
you can register for medium's partner
6:42
program and once approved you will get
6:43
paid based on how many views your
6:45
articles get and how long readers spend
6:47
reading them
6:49
