I made my first million doing it. Personal experience or how I made my first money

Regular readers of my blog often write to me and ask how they manage to collect decent money on the Internet. I do not hide my methods, although I use several directions at once. I started from scratch, did not understand anything about remote work, but it took about 3 years to achieve stability.

How did I start making money online? Like many other beginners, at first I chose the simplest methods and tried to earn at least something.

Over time moved to more profitable niches including opening a blog. But it is best to start with Forex trading, as it is profitable.

Binary options - real takeoff

In order not to mess with trifles, you need to immediately choose a worthy activity. In this regard, binary options are the best option.

With their help, you can increase your capital in a day. I trade with the help of Binarium, they have recently updated their platform, so it is now even more convenient to use it.

Watch video review:

The essence of options is to open rates on various quotes. I have already submitted an article related to this way of earning "". At first, I myself did not believe that it was possible to make good money on this, now I am convinced that this is one of the best options.

To give you an idea of ​​how easy it is to place bets, look at an example of opening an option:

You can choose any asset as well as the time of its action. Choose the amount yourself, it remains only to decide in which direction the chart will change, whether it will go down or up. Profitability of 75%, even if you make one trade per day for $100, profit is $75 (almost 5000 rubles).

Of course, it is not always possible to close options with income, but if you practice a little or apply strategies, you're still on the winning side:

It helps me to make a steady income binary options. It is built on special indicators, they give hints.

Are you afraid that you won’t be able to do this or don’t have money to start? You can always use affiliate program. Binarium is ready to give up to 30% of its profits or up to $50 for an invited client.

I invited a lot of users to their site, here are my stats:

The company is reliable, has been working for many years and consistently pays me honestly earned money. Make deals or attract traders, decide for yourself, both options are interesting. Just don't think that advertising a broker is easy.

Where did I start?

Once I didn’t even have a blog and I didn’t understand anything about making money on Forex. There was a desire to work on the Internet, so I started looking for available options. First of all, I registered on Wmmail. This is a click sponsor, where there are a lot of small assignments. It is quite possible to collect up to $ 5 per day on this:

Incomes are not high, but everything is elementary. In parallel with this method, I discovered for myself. It is even simpler, you need to participate in promotions, even likes are paid.

I created several profiles and fulfilled orders from them, but the profit was also not high:

Then I decided it was time to create my own website. It turned out that it really good idea. The topic was not even considered, I was interested in making money on the Internet, so the blog was opened just about this. If you also decide to do this, you can choose other topics, the main thing is that you are interested in doing the project.

Where else is there big money?

V last years I started actively investing money. I tried many projects, but so far it turned out to be the most profitable. This is the simplest game in which cars are bought and passive income comes from them. They cost differently, so they don’t bring the same amount:

I have already lost count of how many of these cars I have. I constantly buy additional cars, although I have already achieved huge daily accruals. I didn’t deposit a lot of money right away, I developed over time.

Decide how much to invest in the game yourself, you can start with 50 rubles, although it is better to invest at least 1300 rubles to buy at least a 3rd level taxi:

Personally, I have no problems with this, every day I withdraw substantial amounts from the balance:

Agree, the money is not bad, but I did not start earning it right away. Although I do not regret the time spent, if I worked for normal work would certainly not achieve such results.

Now you know how I started my career, and you can also try to become a successful moneymaker. It takes a lot of time and effort, but if you work, then at least you get decent income and constantly evolving. In the future, working through the Internet will become even more popular, so it’s definitely worth doing.

We know his real name, but in this article he asked to be called Mastrider. Him the word.

The man known as the Mastrider

manages channels in Telegram

The hype continues around Telegram. As its founder Pavel Durov wrote, the number of Telegram users in Russia has long exceeded 10 million. If there is a solvent middle class in Russia, then it sits in Telegram.

Initially, Telegram was just a chat application, but gradually channels appeared in it. Channels are "one-way" chats, like radio stations or media. Anyone can share their thoughts and news with any other people who are interested. If you are interested, you subscribe to the channel and get a notification when something comes out in it.

The first channels were cozy blogs without a hint of monetization. Then the thought came up: if a lot of people subscribe to the channel, you can sell ads in it. The author of a channel for 20-30 thousand people today can earn 100 thousand rubles a month. And this is not the limit: for example, the revenue from the sale of advertising in my four channels in August was 270 thousand, in September - 350 thousand, in October - 435 thousand rubles.

In this article I will tell you how I created and promoted my channels and how I made money on them. Even if you are thinking of creating a telegram channel not for the sake of money, the tips will help make the channel popular and invest money from advertising in its promotion. I do exactly this: I spend money from advertising on the promotion and promotion of the channel.

Channel theme

I created the first two channels without really thinking about the topic. I constantly read cool articles and watch a lot of videos - so I decided to share the most interesting things with my friends in Mastrida and Mastwatch. This important point: the topic should be interesting to the author, and working with it should be easy.

At the beginning of the boom of telegram channels, I did a lot because I was one of the first. Word of mouth and the support of my subscribers from Vkontakte played their role.

I created the following channels consciously. When I already had popular channels, I decided to make another one with my friends. We approached the issue rationally: we brainstormed to determine what areas we really understand and what content can be in demand in Telegram.

Here are the conclusions we came to:

1. My friends and I are united by an interest in a career in prestigious international corporations. Each of us works in big company and tries to move forward as soon as possible.
2. We have the knowledge: we passed the selection in the corporation, prepared for this for a long time and continue to read a lot about how to upgrade our “soft skills” (God forgive me).
3. Work and career occupy an important place in the lives of our compatriots, including in the lives of Telegram users. Except for those, of course, who no longer want to "work for their uncle."
4. In Telegram at that time there was not a single channel known to us with normal advice on how to build a career. And in the entire Runet there was not a single resource on this topic that we unconditionally liked.

We discarded a lot of non-career ideas. They decided not to create a channel with memes, because there are already enough of them. And in Telegram, author's content is more in demand. A channel about favorite varieties of single malt whiskey was also not created due to too small target audience. The idea of ​​a channel with author's comments on political news was abandoned due to the insufficient level of our expertise.

But the idea with a channel about a career turned out to be excellent. So we launched Your Career.

Based on the Your Career case study, here are three main factors to consider when creating a channel.

Expertise. You need to understand the topic better than 95% of your potential subscribers.

Target audience size. It is important that the topic concerns not only your closest friends, but also at least ten thousand Russian-speaking readers. Studies of the Old Elvish language, micropiping or the history of Yugoslav auteur cinema are fascinating topics, but they are of interest to a very small number of readers.

Competition. The fewer channels on the same topic, the better. This does not mean that having at least one competitor is a reason not to create a channel. It's just better not to meddle in an area where there is already an excess of content.

How to find competitors

Google channels for the phrase "channels in Telegram about ...". So you will find a lot of collections and immediately see that, for example, channels about marketing, cryptocurrencies and channels with longread collections are already much more than even the most avid fan of these topics needs.

Check channel directories. Most of them are divided into topics. These can be both catalog sites (the largest is Tlgrm.ru) and catalog channels. The largest of the high-quality and conveniently structured channels is the Telegram Catalog.

Channel name

Telegram first. mobile app, and you need to navigate to the mobile screen. The name of the channel should not be too long, otherwise it will not fit on the screen, readers will not remember it, and the brand of the channel will be less recognizable. And the name should clearly reflect the content of the channel.

The names of most popular channels meet these criteria: Daily English, Mastrida, OneDay - OneStory, Internet Analytics, and so on.

Link

Alternatively, if the Russian name is difficult or clumsily transliterated, you can use the English equivalent of your Russian name in the link. This option is worse, because it creates confusion in the names and people may end up on someone else's in search of your channel. For example, on the Mastrida channel, someone will try to get through the links @mastridy or @mustridi.

I made money on Your Career in October

Recently, a channel search appeared in Telegram, but it does not guarantee that your channel will be found. Try, for example, to enter “Telegram directory” in the search box - you will see several completely low-quality directories and only two large ones, although in fact there are many large ones:

Logo

Any channel has a logo - readers will recognize you in the chat list by it. It should be memorable and without small details, so that everything can be clearly seen in the small round Telegram avatar.

For Mastrid and Mastwatch, the logo was drawn for free by grateful readers. For Your Career and God, No, I hired a designer I knew and paid him 2,000 and 3,000 rubles for the logos. As a last resort, download a free image from the Internet - even this is better than no logo.

Keep in mind that all logos in Telegram are round. Square images are cropped. It is better to design a round logo right away.

5000 R

I paid a designer for logos for two of my channels

Done, you are amazing.

Do you need a corporate identity right away?

Some people think that already at the start of the telegram channel, you need to come up with hashtags, special design, form style for each post and branded content. In my opinion, you can do all this, but it is not necessary.

Content Creation

Now Telegram has good copyrighted content. The Telegram audience that I met seems to me more advanced than in Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki and YouTube. Most channel subscribers are residents of large cities with higher education and above average income (at least for now).

Secondary and low-quality content that a public administrator on Vkontakte would get away with will not take off in Telegram. Content must be unique and high quality.

Each new post into the channel should benefit the reader. Either this is a link to an interesting longread on the subject of the channel that you found on the Internet; or this is your author's commentary on some current news, thanks to which the reader will learn new information; or your author's text in which you share knowledge. You can simply reprint clickbait texts from the Internet, but it will be more difficult to promote such a channel.

Before you start investing your energy and money in channel promotion, you should publish at least 4-5 posts. Then a potential subscriber, by clicking on the link to your channel, will see that there is a high-quality and useful content. At the same time, in the first few posts, it is better to show all the variety of channel content.

For example, in the first posts on Your Career, my friends and I did this:

1. We talked about the channel team and what content will appear on it.
2. Share links to the most useful resources on career topics and resources with current vacancies.
3. We talked about books for beginner careerists in various fields.
4. We shared links to several useful longreads about the development of soft skills.
5. Published tips on how to write a resume and cover letter.

Recently, a friend of mine who is a big fan of tea and tea ceremony asked me for advice on what content to post on his channel. In one minute, I came up with ideas for the first few posts for him:

1. The list of the best places where you can buy good tea: on the Internet and in conventional stores in different cities of Russia.
2. What you need for a quality tea ceremony at home and why arrange it at all.
3. Why drinking tea bags is a crime.

I'm sure if you're an expert on the topic you're creating a channel on, ideas for your first posts will come to you in a few minutes.

After the initial content appeared on the channel, you can start promoting.

What about content theft?

Telegram is the Wild West. Alas, you will not be able to protect yourself from content theft. More precisely, you can if you actively and purposefully promote your channel. Since you have come up with interesting content that others plagiarize, it means that you are smarter than them and, most likely, if you wish, you will be able to do PR more effectively than your imitators.

An Alternative to Creating a Channel: Buying a Channel

Instead of creating your own channel, you can buy an existing one. This is what I did with the Slang Bang channel, which already had 37,000 subscribers at the time of the deal. The amount of the transaction was less than a million rubles, although I am sure that market price this channel is much higher - it's just that its founder got tired of his brainchild and wanted to "get into the cash" as soon as possible. And I always liked this channel, and I gladly accepted the offer to buy. Now I sell ads there from 12,000 rubles per post and plan to recoup the investment in a few months.

But few authors of worthy channels put them up for sale. The case with Slang Bang is rather an exception. For example, I was repeatedly offered to sell Mastrida (first for 1 million, then for 2 million and recently for 3 million rubles), but I refused each time: firstly, I perceive this project primarily as a social and educational one, and not commercial and, secondly, I value my channel more.

3 million R

I was offered for the sale of the Mastrida channel. I didn't sell

Promotion: first steps

No matter how great your content is, without conscious promotion you will not become popular.

Here are the main ways that are now used to promote channels:

• mentions on other channels for money or barter;
• placement in directories - they are also paid and free;
• paid or free access to collections or media publications;
• non-standard ways of promotion: participation in conferences, author's columns for the media, advertising in bots, contextual advertising.

So, you have created a channel and filled it with initial content. Then they asked relatives, friends and acquaintances to subscribe to it. Made a post on Facebook and other social networks that you now have a channel. This is usually how the first 100 subscribers are recruited, unless, of course, you are a super media personality. What's next?

reach a thousand

The main problem of any Telegram channel creator is how to get the first thousand subscribers. A small number of subscribers leads to two problems.

The first problem: as practice shows, other things being equal, people subscribe to a small channel less willingly. Probably because more popular resources inspire more trust. It makes sense to buy advertising if you have not 50, but at least 500 subscribers.

The second problem is that not a single major channel will agree to a proposal for mutual PR with a channel that does not have at least a thousand subscribers.

I advise you to start promotion with directories and other non-standard and low-cost promotion methods.

Add yourself to all the free catalogs of telegram channels that you find. In inexpensive paid, too, you can. These are web directories (the main ones are Tlgrm.ru, Tgstat.ru), and channel directories in Telegram itself, the price tag for publishing in which does not exceed a couple of thousand rubles: @catalogtelegram, @catalogchannels, @worldchannels, @rulist and others.

Try to get into free compilations of small channels that are selflessly published by the authors of some large channels (for example, @smmrus and @free_edu). Read the conditions of publications in these channels: usually for this you need to write in private messages to the admin.

Claim your channel outside of Telegram. For example, speak at a thematic conference, introducing yourself as the author of the channel, and give a link to it at the beginning and end of the speech. Or write an article for a major online publication by subscribing as a channel author.

We tell you how to make money in Telegram, on blood donation, old books and pets. And also how to keep a personal and family budget and save money for a rainy day.

Promotion: Paid Advertising

What is the point: you pay the admins of promoted channels and offer them to advertise your channel on their own.

Most channel admins sell ads. For the similarity of topics, you can get a discount: such thematic advertising does not irritate subscribers. For example, on Mastrida I always advertise with pleasure educational projects, especially related to reading: both advertisers have an excellent conversion rate, and my subscribers are satisfied - they receive interesting recommendations for them, albeit paid ones.

To find channels similar to you, look at catalogs and selections in the media. I also advise you to enter keywords on your channel topic (“science”, “books”, “memes”) in the Telegram search bar - this way you will receive links to channels with the same words in the title.

Admins of all channels are ordinary people who earn money. You can bargain and negotiate with them. If you are not satisfied with the price at the start, ask for a discount or offer some kind of barter. Amounts are small, negotiable really.

Pay attention to the quality of the content on the channel, the frequency and subject of advertising that has already been published there. If the channel advertises a casino, financial pyramids and porn sites, for sure this is a “garbage” resource, whose subscribers have long ignored all advertising posts and do not follow any links.

If the publications on the channel are written with primitive spelling errors, it is hardly worth ordering a publication about the channel about the philosophy of poststructuralism there. But you yourself will feel it.

How much does a paid subscriber cost

Many consider the output from advertising in Telegram based on the average cost of an acquired subscriber: the price of an advertising post is divided by the number of subscribers. This average cost can be either 5 rubles (for channels with memes for schoolchildren) or 100 rubles (for channels about ICOs and cryptocurrencies).

30 R

on average, there is one subscriber in a telegram channel with good author's content

From my channels, people received subscribers for both 3 rubles and 200 rubles, but most often for 20-30 rubles. At the same time, if the target audience of the advertised channel coincided with mine, the results were always excellent, and if not, most often the cost of a subscriber was several times higher. The same picture is with all my friends channel authors.

The “average temperature in the hospital” is usually called the amount of 30 rubles per subscriber in good author's channels.

Promotion: Mutual PR

Mutual PR is the same advertisement, only instead of money in exchange for an advertising publication, you get the same publication on the channel you recommend. Therefore, the main advice is the same as with advertising: choose channels with a theme similar to yours and a high-quality audience.

Agree in advance on the terms: text, the duration of the post in the feed, deleting the post. Do you need to post a picture along with the text? Tell about it in advance. Do you want your post to come out not just on a certain date, but at a certain time? Agree in advance.

When to post. In my experience, better days for the publication of advertising or mutual PR - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, time - 18-19 hours Moscow time. Worst time is Friday evening or weekend.

Be careful with channels from Uzbekistan. It so happened that Telegram is widely used in this country, so the channels there play the role of public Vkontakte pages. Most Uzbeks are subscribed to dozens or even hundreds of channels, so they rarely open each of them - which means that the conversion will be low. In Russia, the average number of subscribers to 5-25 channels is so far, so the reader's attention is less scattered, and the response is better.

Finally, the most reliable way is to consult with the community of other authors. Write a message to the authors' chat and ask for advice. So you can find out that almost all the largest Russian-language channels with 100,000 or more subscribers are projects from Uzbekistan, and the subscribers there are mostly bots or people who are automatically subscribed to such channels by the unofficial Telegram client application.

How to get to the party

Unfortunately, only another member can add to most chats with Telegram channel admins. Therefore, if you have a high-quality channel, write to me: mazdrid@gmail.com - I will add you to the main open chats.

Selections in the media

One of the unexpected, but effective ways promotions - getting into the collections of telegram channels, which are published by many media as advertising, and some for free. To get into such a selection, you either need to know the media staff personally and agree with them on writing the selection, or be included in the selection, which is jointly prepared by other authors.

Discussions of new collections usually take place in the chats of channel authors.

Channel monetization

The main way of earning, of course, is selling advertising. The more readers the channel has and the more carefully they study the materials, the better the commercial effect - both for you and for your client.

The standard cost of advertising in a high-quality author's channel is 40-50 kopecks per subscriber. In a channel with 1000 subscribers, an advertising post will cost up to 500 R, in a channel with 20 thousand people - up to 10,000 R.

The formula “50 kopecks per person” is very conditional: on my channels the price is about the same, but I know channels where advertising is ten times more expensive. And there are channels where advertising is sold ten times cheaper. It all depends on your audience, topics, frequency of posts and greed.

How to sell ads

You can start monetizing the channel after the first thousand subscribers. Immediately invest the income received in the purchase of advertising to increase the number of your subscribers, and with it the price tag.

Be sure to include your contact or the contact of the member of your team responsible for advertising in the channel description. Many advertisers will find you this way.

The contact in the description must be exactly a contact in Telegram. I provided the contact of my assistant. When only my email was in the description, fewer potential customers wrote to me. It is more convenient to send a message without leaving Telegram.

Become your own advertising agent or hire such a person. Let him monitor the group chats of channel authors, offer advertising on your sites to everyone and purposefully write to those who come to such chats with messages: “Hi, where is it better to buy advertising for my new channel?” In my experience, at least half of the orders can be obtained through such cold sales.

Remember to make a lot of quality content for subscribers - more than promotional. Otherwise, each advertising post will only lead to replies from dissatisfied readers. After all, they didn't follow you to read ads.

Always invest at least part of your income in promotion. Telegram is growing rapidly. According to the @tgmarketing channel, since the beginning of the year, the monthly advertising market in the messenger has grown from 3 to 20 million rubles and continues to grow. In order not to miss this hype train, do not forget to throw fuel into its furnace in the form of advertising, VP and other promotion methods.

There are no secrets in promotion and earnings in Telegram. As my mentor likes to say, you don't have to do super complex things to be successful - quite regularly, with constancy and purposefulness, do a lot of simple but important things.

How to make money on Telegram channel

1. Select interesting topic which is easy to write on.
2. Having decided on the content, start promotion and do not chase quick money.
3. After gaining a certain number of subscribers, start monetizing the channel.

Actually, it was high time to do this, I mean start making money on Youtube. I created your channel on Youtube almost simultaneously with the blog. If I launched the blog in May 2009, then I opened the channel in June 2009.

Wow, that's almost 5 years of missed opportunities! Oh, who would have given me a kick a little earlier. There was no such person under the ass hand. I hope that with this post I will be that person for other people who may also have their own YouTube channel, but they do not receive any profit from it.

But even if you do not have your own Youtube channel, read this post to the end anyway, perhaps this note will encourage you to create and monetize your channel, especially since it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

So let's start with the numbers. I connected the monetization of my channel in mid-October 2013 (I will write more about what monetization is below). I did it at first not quite legally, although this point is a big question.

The fact is that for Russia, the functions of monetizing video content on Youtube are not yet fully available. Therefore, in order to receive income from YouTube, you need to either change the country of your location in the channel settings, or become a partner of one of the media networks (read intermediaries) that have entered into an agreement with Youtube and provide their partners with the opportunity to monetize videos. However, they take a certain percentage from the authors.

So, according to the employees of the media network, to which I subsequently connected, Youtube rules prohibit changing the country of your location in the channel settings. That is, if you indicated in the settings that you are in the United States, and you yourself upload videos from Russia, then this can lead to a ban.

To be honest, I myself did not find such information in the rules of Youtube. I confess that I searched badly, or rather, the abundance of different pages and documents in the rules of Youtube is so much bullshit that you can’t figure it out without a bottle. And since I don’t drink, I had to take the word of the media network employees

By the way, if you have accurate information about this, please share it in the comments.

As you probably guessed, later I switched from the illegal method of monetization, which I wrote about above, to the legal one, namely, I became a partner of one media network, which I will discuss in more detail below.

This is all I tell you to the fact that now I will show you 2 screenshots:

• One is made in the Google Adsense account, since it is there that the income received by me in an “illegal” or “semi-legal” way is reflected. For convenience, let's call this option that way for the time being.
• The second screen is taken from the account of the media network, which I connected to in November.

The second screenshot shows that I earned a little over $25 from November 1st to November 31st. This is data from personal account media network YouPartnerWSP which I joined.

In total, for a month and a half, almost 50 dollars, which, translated into rubles at today's exchange rate, will be about 1,600 rubles.

Well, the money is not big, but .... MONEY! You know, when I started blogging, the first thousand rubles I earned meant a lot to me. When I started, I did not quite believe that I would be able to earn something on the Internet. I thought they were all fairy tales. It didn’t fit in my head that you can earn money sitting at home at the computer.

As a self-employed person, it always seemed to me that in order to make money, you had to go to work and do something, something tangible and real. And the Internet for me has always been associated with something virtual, that is, not quite real.

And the first thousand rubles I earned became a confirmation for me, a real fact that there is money on the Internet and it is really possible to earn it. Since then, several years have passed and I have earned several million rubles on the Internet, and it all started with some miserable thousand.

The first thousand rubles earned on Youtube reminded me of that time. The time when I did NOT really believe in the success of my undertaking and my subsequent final results.

If I was once able, starting with the first thousand rubles earned on a blog, to subsequently earn several million rubles, then why not repeat the same thing on Youtube?

Or rather, why not add another source of income to the sources of income that I already have, which can potentially bring millions of rubles every year?

As you know, I am a fan of creating multiple streams of income. I recommend reading my articles on this topic:

I created my Youtube channel as an addition to my blog. More precisely, I needed to somehow broadcast videos, which I then only tried to do.

Back then, I didn't even think about making money with videos. And if he did, he had no idea how money is made on YouTube.

A few years later, I learned about different ways to make money on youtube, but I simply did not have time to work on this topic. In addition, at that moment it was too difficult and incomprehensible for me.

Youtube is a huge colossus in which there are a lot of different settings, modes, sections. To be honest, about a year ago I somehow tried to figure this whole thing out, but I didn't have the perseverance.

Uploading a video on Youtube and embedding it on your blog is a matter of minutes, everything is simple there. But to set up your channel, create a personal design, deal with playlists, enable monetization, insert annotations into videos, make the correct description for each video, provide it with accompanying tags, and promote it in search results - it was very difficult for me.

But no matter how long I put off solving this issue, sooner or later I would still have to face the fact that today youtube.com is the third most popular site in the world after Google search engine and social network Facebook.

And if we talk about searching for information, then in our country the third search engine (only by video) after Google and Yandex. That is, Youtube is no longer just a means for entertainment, although it is entertainment content that makes up the bulk of views on YouTube. This service is also for many people an alternative to standard search engines.

People go to YouTube not only to have fun, but also to learn or learn something, because for many people it is much easier to learn from videos.

Thus, from all that has been said, the following conclusion can be drawn: to ignore the huge traffic (high attendance) of people who hang out on Youtube every day is simply stupid.

I, as a person who develops in the Internet sphere, as a person who earns money on the Internet, cannot pass by this. With the help of YouTube, I can close a lot of questions:

• I can make money and so can you;
• You can redirect part of the traffic from YouTube to your sites;
• You can redirect part of the traffic to partner sites;
• You can increase your popularity and brand awareness (I don’t like this word, but still).

But than I definitely like Youtube. so it is an opportunity to calculate your potential income using specific data. So that you understand what I'm talking about, remember some of your business ideas. In order for your business idea to be realized, you need to calculate everything in advance in order to understand whether the game is worth the candle.

In practice, it is impossible to take into account all the nuances and force majeure circumstances. Because of what many beginners are very far from reality. I think because of this, situations occur when 9 out of 10 new businesses go to the bottom in the first year of their existence.

Youtube gives me accurate statistics every day on the basis of which I can calculate WHAT I need to do in order to INCREASE my income.

For example, I displayed the statistics for the month and see that:

• The average number of views per day on my channel is 531;
• The average number of clicks on ads in my videos is 25;
• The average income that I receive at the same time is $ 1.04 per day.
• About 90 videos are currently uploaded on my channel, which were uploaded just like that, without being tied to any keywords and specific user requests, that is, not optimized.
• On average, each video is viewed about 6 times a day.

To increase the amount of earnings on Youtube, I need to increase the number of views. It can be done different ways such as uploading new videos, or optimizing and promoting existing videos. Better yet, do both.

To achieve this goal, I need to upload to my channel:

• 200 266 once a day;
• Or 500 videos, each of which will be viewed 107 once a day;
• Or 1000 videos, each of which will be viewed 54 times a day.

Now there are 90 videos on my channel. If I aim for 1000 clips, then I need to create another 910 clips. That is, you need to create and upload about 3 videos to your channel every day during the year. Plus, you need to take into account that you need to increase the view of each video to 54 from the 6 views that I have now.

The task is difficult, but realizable. I'm not going to make three videos every day. Most likely I will do it much more slowly. At the moment, speed is not so important to me. I have other sources of income.

Therefore, I consider Youtube as a long-term tool that will bring me sufficient income in 2-3 years

What I like most about this whole undertaking is that it does not require large capital investments to organize a business of this kind. If you are reading this article, then you have a computer and Internet access. This alone is not enough, we need one more little thing, namely the head on the shoulders))

Need a little imagination creativity and knowledge of programs for processing and editing video. And here you need to be afraid more than the first two points than knowledge of specialized software.

Available programs are now a dime a dozen. But you can’t download brains from the Internet ...

In the near future, expect from me detailed manuals on Youtube, namely:

• How to register and create your own channel;
• How to improve it;
• Which niche to choose;
• How to create your own video;
• In what programs to edit and process it with detailed video instructions;
• How to enable monetization;
• How to optimize video and increase the number of views;
• How to organize several ways to make money on Youtube. In this note, I actually touched on only one option for earning money, but there are actually many more.
• And much more…

To be honest, I just woke up a terrible interest in this topic. I don't feel like writing about anything else. But besides this, I will also publish materials on the topic of making money on a blog, creating and making money with an online store.

Naturally, there will be many videos, so subscribe to my channel on Youtube right now so you don't miss anything. Also don't forget to subscribe to the email newsletter.

P.S. If you are interested in the topic of making money on Youtube, then strike a couple of lines in the comments or like below. According to your feedback I will make a conclusion about the need for this topic. If there is little feedback, then you may need to reconsider your plans for writing articles on this topic.

Hmmm….seeing on Twitter a mention from Max Shichal that he invites me to take part in the relay race called “Own experience”, proposed by Dmitry Icar and thereby passes me the baton, I was a little confused. And all because I never had to take part in various kinds of relay races, well, except for those that were held when I was still at school, in a physical education lesson. But nevertheless, I was very carried away and I decided that I would gladly accept the invitation and try to support my colleagues in holding this blogging event!

By the time this article was being written, I had read only one relay post of the same Max, and he struck me with his sincerity and what he had to endure. After reading, I realized that I have a lot in common with the situation of Shikhal and there is a lot to tell about scam friends and situations with athletes on the street. But I did not write about the same, so as not to repeat myself. I’d rather write about how I earned my first money, because this will also reveal the theme of the relay. It may not be so touching, but it is the pure truth and my personal experience.

Summer 2005…

At that time I was 16 years old, and I was desperately trying to get off my parent's neck and start earning money myself, so as not to ask for my parents' savings in any way. Probably every teenager at the age of 16 wants to be independent from their parents, go wherever you want, walk late and communicate with those people with whom you see fit. I was no exception.

It was the height of the summer season and summer school holidays outside. Having rested for a couple of days from school, I realized that I urgently need to do something useful, namely, I need to start earning money while there is an opportunity. Since at that time I was not seriously interested in anything and did not really know how to do anything, only one thought came to my mind - to go to a nearby parking lot and wash them there for money. I won’t say that it was a good idea… Washing a couple of cars with a partner, we earned pennies for which you could buy a pack of chips and soda. On the very first day, it became clear that things would not work out that way and that we needed to think about how to get out of this situation. The situation was further complicated by the fact that the same partner went to relatives in another city. Thus, he was left to himself and now it was necessary to quickly decide what to do next.

After wandering around the streets of my area for a couple of days, I met old comrades who, as if reading my mind, offered me a job at Smart Electric. But I didn't succeed with time.

Next, I found a job at a water park that was close to my house. A whole armada of thoughts immediately flew through my brain about how I would swim for days on end, meet girls in bikinis and bask in the sun. I agreed without hesitation! They didn’t specify the position, it was only later that I realized that I would have to work with anyone, right up to the janitor…

This is how my summer of 2005 began. On the first day, we came to the still unfinished water park, which had no visitors yet. As it turned out, some part of the work was to bring the water park to readiness to receive people. The concept of "bringing to readiness" meant "licking" the territory to a shine, cleaning the building material (a pile of bricks and hardened concrete) and a bunch of little things that I will not mention so as not to scare the reader. In general, there was a lot of work and it did not promise to be easy. Since the money promised good, I did not pay attention to the difficulties and hardships, as they say, and continued to puff, dragging heavy blocks of concrete and bricks like a laborer. Fortunately for me, there were a lot of guys there and we managed within a couple of days, as a result, the territory, together with the pools, simply shone and was ready to receive people in huge number. Everyone was tired and angry, but one thing was pleasing - the approach of the swimming season.

The work day has begun. I was appointed to the position of a lifeguard, which I was infinitely happy about, since I had a rough idea of ​​my duties and knew how to swim well (I went swimming as a child). Literally from the first days, a stream of people wishing to swim poured in, because. it was the only water park in the entire region and literally from the first days I had to fulfill my direct duties, namely, to save children, who for some reason were left unattended at the very moment when they began to drown. Yes, sink! I barely had time to pull out one child, as after a couple of minutes another was already choking. Of course, I realized that I had to forget about all sorts of courting girls in bikinis and taking a tan under the sun.

After a few weeks of such work, I became black (in the literal sense) from a tan and terribly nervous from how much I had to be nervous watching this or that amateur go downhill at speed, and then going down, screaming, choking from the water, words for help . I was really tired of all this and decided to quit before an emergency happened through my fault. Taking the spent money + the "left" ones that we did every day with the guys, letting people through for half the price until the authorities see it, I realized that I was able to earn pretty decent money. For the first time in my life, I made so much money! For comparison, in order to make it clear to people how much money is involved, I could afford to dress from head to toe, buy cellular telephone(which was a luxury for me at the age of 16) and take the girl to a restaurant. For me it was a huge amount. About how and where I spent it is a separate issue).

But no amount of money can replace health. All I have left after this job is a shattered nervous system, shabby eyesight from long exposure to the sun and huge sunburns all over my body.

From the above, I have drawn the following conclusions:

It is good to work at an early age, but you must choose your work wisely.
I should have realized earlier that it was time to start being interested in something. Than something that would later grow into a profession.
No amount of money can replace lost health.

Fall 2007…

The story about working in the water park, by that time, had sunk by the summer. On the nose was admission to the university. I prepared very hard, 8-10 hours a day. Going to university was my number 1 goal. If I didn't, I would have to go to serve. Service in the army would have ruined in me all the craving for study, and I still have more than enough of this craving! Be that as it may, I went to study, on a budgetary basis, which I was extremely happy about. It seemed that the carefree life of a student began! But no…

Almost immediately, I realized that I had a completely free second half of the day. It couldn't be left like that, so I started looking for a job. This time I wanted to find a civilized intellectual job, and not work as a laborer. The first place where I ended up and, as it turned out later, I will work all my student life, was the office of a printing house engaged in the manufacture and printing of paper products. In general, I did everything that was made of paper! :) During my work, I gained experience in the field of graphics processing. During my work, I decently studied Photoshop and Corel Draw, which still helps me a lot. And the most important thing is that during the period of studying at the university and working in the office, I decently learned the layout of sites, began to understand programming in php, javascript and website promotion.

Probably everyone will understand me that work in the office does not differ in its colors and events than any other. Therefore, I will say briefly, I like working in the office for the time being. Then you need to either move up the career ladder or open something of your own.

There are some blueprints for starting my own business, but offline work and promotion should not be launched either, so I am now torn between two needs.

Now I have defended perfectly well and in the near future I am going to enter the master's program in the direction of E-commerce and work in parallel, only in a different place. I think I will work closer to the field of Internet commerce and website development, especially since there is already an offer from one web development office.

Now let me summarize my student life and the above. Rather, this is not a result, but 2 simple things that I figured out over the period from 2009-2014:

No one will teach you to understand life, except yourself.
- You need to start working and get used to independent living as early as possible, this can then help to survive in society

Greetings to all readers and visitors of the project called BlogRabotaInternet. Today I decided to talk a little about how I made money on the Internet. Some will be interested in it, and some won't even read it.

I can say right away that we are not talking about big earnings, I would like to tell you how I started, how the process of making money online went. Probably, like everyone else, I expected something more, but it turned out exactly the way it turned out and in a different way, unfortunately it does not happen on the Internet.

It started with the fact that I came across some kind of ad, like - it's easy for everyone to make money on the Internet. Of course, I clicked and got on the seosprint box - it was with him that my path to making money online began.

At the time I signed up, I was about 16 years old. For some reason it seemed to me that you can work, click and earn money. Of course, as probably other people, I got tired of clicking all sorts of advertising sites in vain and I turned to tasks, but getting a penny for them, thoughts began to come that I couldn’t earn much.

The boxes were replaced by social networks, namely the Sarafanka service. It seemed to me that he offered more profitable terms and it was so, because when the social network VKontakte appeared, it was possible to join groups, invite friends without restrictions, and this was a big plus in working on services.

Having worked in this very service, I did not manage to earn mountains of money, but nevertheless, I pulled out several hundred rubles from there. It was also not what I wanted and I looked further. By the way, at that time it was possible to pull out more money from the service, but only a small number of tasks bothered me, so I didn’t manage to earn a lot. Also, there was another good service, which allowed you to work with Facebook, but there were also few tasks in it (

Forex came to replace the above - this is the worst place I got into. Of course, I did not invest any money and, for the sake of interest, I registered on a forum in which currency was credited for communication. The essence of the experiment in earning was that on the forum it was possible to collect 10 dollars of virtual currency and use it to start on forex, that's exactly what I did.

When I collected these same dollars to enter the system, I searched for information on the Internet and decided to give it a try. Many people explained how to use trading bots that win trades, which have their own algorithms and are as reliable as a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

But these were illusions, and in the end, even those 10 dollars disappeared in a couple of days, so I realized that this was a scam and nothing else, and that forex is only for people who are in the know. Ordinary users who want to earn money will have to study for more than one year in order to trade at least something in the currency. If someone offers to invest money and after that you earn many times more, then this is just a hoax for the well-being of those people who offer to do this - this is the truth.

After such failed attempts somehow I didn’t want to continue working with the help of the Internet, although it was quite difficult to call what I did work, because I don’t consider work where you just have to do something and get a penny for it. After these failures, such a thing as making money on the Internet was forgotten. Forgotten for several years.

After another thought about earning money, I came across one interesting site that described a way of cooperation with Chinese stores, namely aliexpress store. Since I order a lot of things on it, I knew what this store was like and I decided to work with affiliate programs.

At first, there was AliEpn program with which I work to this day. At first, of course, I couldn’t get anything out, or rather, I just worked in the wrong direction, but after a certain search for information, sales also slowly started, or rather, the accrual of my percentage of the sale.

Slowly, I recruited buyers into my group on the social network in Vkontakte, sales went on, people bought, though not very willingly, although what I wanted from several hundred people, half of which were ordinary accounts for exchanging entries.

Unfortunately, the official AliExpress program cut the buyers' session and the person began to sign up for a partner not for 30 days, but only for one browser session. That is, by clicking on your link, if a person closes the browser and opens it again, then the sale will not be counted. But there is also good side this case. The percentage of the sale became equal to 8, despite the fact that before there were goods that offered 1, 2, 3 percent. This is a big plus that now absolutely all products have the same commission.

Due to this, the lifetime of the session fell, and the income, in principle, remained at the level.

After starting in this affiliate program, I registered in the affiliate program ADMITAD where I still work to this day. This very program offers many employers, goods and services with which you can make good money. Only everything needs its own approach and its own efforts.

Also, I tried myself in copywriting and freelancing, in both places there is money, it is paid, but this is probably the story of the second part of the article, and for today I will most likely finish the story about the history of my earnings.

To everything that has been written, I would like to say only that you need to work on the Internet. You should not count on clicks, all sorts of books, forex, which promises money, It is worth working, working, and this is the only way to succeed. Unfortunately, everything does not come at once. The first thing to do is to study tons of information, which is very useful for own development, paths, for example, as affiliate programs, in fact, require investments, minimal, but investments.

Of course, you can do without deposits, but then the path will be many times longer. My investment, for example, in affiliate programs is the paid promotion of the group with the help of many services that were unsuccessful, but I got one good one that I will continue to use.

The main thing that I wanted to convey to you is that there is no easy money on the network and whoever is looking for it is doomed to failure, since easy money will only come when you work for more than one year, become an expert in your field and start selling information, which for you will already be an ordinary, familiar matter, that is, information that you will give people light, then money will seem easy.

That's all for today. I would really like you to write to me in the comments about your successes and defeats on the Internet. Everyone's opinion is very important to me.

Subscribe to blog updates, there will be a lot of interesting things soon, and a subscription will help you receive new articles by mail. Make reposts of the article, because it’s not difficult for you, but I will be very pleased. Thanks for your attention, bye bye.

Sincerely, Sergey Vasiliev
