The Path to YouTube Earnings

About the book

Every minute, hundreds of hours of new video are uploaded to YouTube, and the difference between channels that grow and channels that stall is not expensive gear, but whether the creator knows who they are filming for and what that audience wants to watch. This book is a practical guide to the whole journey, in six parts: choosing a niche and setting up your channel, equipment without big costs, from idea to script, filming, editing, title and thumbnail, Shorts and faceless channels, how YouTube recommends videos and which numbers matter, and then the Partner Program, income directly from your audience, sponsorships, affiliate links and your own products. The final part explains copyright and the Community Guidelines, as well as payouts and taxes from North Macedonia. At the end you get a plan for your first 90 days, plus checklists and templates you can use right away.
