YouTube stars rake in millions of dollars each year and will make you question all of your life choices. Below I break down the top 5 youtube earners and just how simple their videos are.  Analytics company Social Blade uses a unique algorithm to determine the best accurate estimate of revenue each of these YouTubers earn since the information is confidential and no one is talking.  What we do know for certain, is that parent company Google, takes about a 45% cut of advertising revenue brought in by some of their big shots.

Hi! I was reading a lot on the subject and I’m very interested! I love the idea and I want to move further into it but I’m confused on something’s. First, where does the income come from? Where is the money coming to me from? Also, do I have to stick to one product, do I have to use a product directly, and does the money/popularity come from views? If you could please answer back through email and/or comment I’d greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks,
Matthew Ratchford

Matthew… these are all great questions that the YouTube Space folks address. Most money comes from advertisers and those who pay for product mentions. The tricky part is that those YouTubers who are really cashing in are also tight lipped about how much and where the money comes from specifically.

Good Morning! its a beautiful day in the neighborhood……..
Or it would be if I could find the ‘pay to post’ site that you spoke about this morning ( Mar 1st)
on Fox and Friends. You said there must be an Invite ( you said you would do the inviting ) to join
if we went to Fox News…..this is where I landed. Could you help me?
Being paid to post seems pretty terrific to me…something I could do.
I quit FB almost 3 years ago because of all the hypocrisy and extreme liberal agenda…
