23. A YouTube Channel
In case you missed it, here was my list of 8 people who became millionaires off their YouTube channels, by uploading their own original videos to YouTube, usually just of them goofing off and playing video games. Did you catch that? These people are becoming millionaires by playing video games, and posting videos to YouTube of them playing and goofing off! The key is to get a good screen capture program that records the video of your computer or TV screen so people can see the game you’re playing, then has another camera facing you so viewers can see your face and reactions as you play. A good mic for decent audio quality is a must as well. Then start playing games, editing the videos together, and uploading them to YouTube.
If you want to succeed, you have to be likable and funny, energetic and animated, loud and interesting. And you have to upload regularly, really pretty much every day if you want this to turn into anything but a hobby that pays you a few dollars. The money comes from ads YouTube serves on your videos. Keep it clean because swearing and violent content don’t monetize as well. Also, by the way, you can make a lot of money on Twitch too, which is the live streaming version of YouTube and has already created its own crop of millionaires. All the equipment you would need to do this comes cheap. This includes lighting and a reasonably powerful computer for video editing, as well as high-speed Internet. All these can all be had for under $5000. There you have it, don’t forget to post better quality and entertaining YouTube videos to maximize your income.
