How much money can you make?

Straight in there with the killer question, eh – you shrewd lot. Well, the answer is a bit of a mixed bag, if we’re honest.

While you might be lucky in finding a video clip of yours goes viral and earns you some serious dough (like this guy who uploaded a clip of his kids arguing and made £100,000 – we kid you not), this is very unlikely. That said, if you have managed to catch something funny on film, by all means give it a shot.

You’re much more likely to build up revenue by getting an audience through regular content publishing. whether you’re making vlogs, cat videos or just talking about custard creams. You might remember the tale of 17 year old Fred Pye – he hit the news a few years ago when he revealed he’d earned £24,000 a year by making walk-throughs for Grand Theft Auto.

But as we said, it isn’t all a fruitful walk in the park. Livie Rose, a beauty blogger from Brighton says her pay fluctuates from thousands one month to £50 the next. and some people only report earning a few pounds here and there.

How much can you realistically expect to make?

As a benchmark, you can expect to make around $1.50/1000 views. This means that one million views = $1500… or around £880 to us British folk.

However, keep in mind that a lot of the channels/vloggers sign advertising contracts with certain companies or even promote their own merchandise, which can earn them even more on top of their views alone.

It’s hard to put a total on this but the possibilities are endless depending on what your videos are about – much like making cash as a blogger. it really counts on you having an interesting niche!
