How to Make A Living on YouTube

[@ReflexEight]

Ever since this video came out I have successfully lived on my own, bought a BMW and have raised three kids. Thank you so much.

[@paulinepumpkinseed7736]

Bravo Devin! Of the 147 channels I'm subscribed to, you are 1 of the 3 who have laid it all out so everyone understands how content creators are paid. I raise my glass to you! Continued success to you & your team. I enjoy your work & look forward to more!

[@chadwildclay]

Good stuff devingraham! I'd love to know a % breakdown between the three. For me it's 67% adsense, 24% itunes, 6% Spotify, 3% other.

[@BRENNANSTECHBITE]

Judging from the thumbnail, the title of this video should be how to hang out with good looking people lol

[@rasmasyean]

Once you make the $$$ off KZbin, good looking people come to hang out with you! :P

[@elidangerfield]

rasmasyean It's so shallow of them, they just want to get their name in lights, they obviously aren't actually friends with devin, unfortunately. :P

[@AnnaBoyetteTV]

Devin, thank you for doing this. There isn't really a video on here explaining all of this. Love it!

[@SoulSurvivorX2]

You do a great job Devin :)

[@bouraouirahim934]

hi add me my facebook zinou strong

[@ckjjclan]

Fourth revenue source for you sometime soon...Public Speaking at business schools and as a motivational "you can do anything" speaker! So much admiration for your work and your drive. Awesome!

[@SkateIslam]

Lol the voice over when he says Turkish airlines...

[@Inception1338]

when you do something like it, you have to speak up some words before with it, in order to get in the tune of what you said before. That way we were easily able to fix recordings from musicans that made a mistake in their lines. You cannot even hear, that there is a cut in between.

[@RCHeliJet]

Over and Out smile thanks.!!

[@Martin42944]

The irony of an ad starting RIGHT after you said ad sense is not lost on me... good video. Thanks for the insight.

[@calihny]

You're actually the first one to really explain to us how to make a living out of youtube, it's amazing to have someone really showing us how everything works! I'm just curious about this whole stock footage thing because I saw an advert for a new show in german tv and they used like 2 seconds of one of your clips.. Do you get paid for something like this, even if it's that short?

[@przcouldyou123]

I think you guys are doing amazing keep up the good work devin and co, you guys are awesome :D

[@CrownedGaming]

I knew for certain I was seeing your videos on Pizza Pizza tv screens haha. I always watch it and say "GG" :)

[@Y0UTU8E2012]

Product placement (Turkish Airlines) within a product placement explanation video. That's next level thinking!

[@lnmattson]

I loved the ending about peanut butter cups. Haha.

[@clarenceoveur6964]

@1:54 Love the redub "in this case it was......Turkish Airlines......and Kobe"

[@marcd7332]

Great tips devin! Keep the good work! :)

[@FrankDeMarco]

*Very Interesting, **Devin Graham**- Thanks!*

[@Cher987]

Love Love Love your videos!

[@SirRichardKingOfCringe]

at 1:29 and 1:53 it sounds like "turkish airlines" was edited in. when he is talking in the room you can clearly hear echo throughout the entire video, but when he says "turkish airlines" there is a great reduction in echo. my guess is he just mispronounced the company name and later overlayed audio of him saying it correctly. anyone else notice it?

[@chrisfaulkner9090]

Nice catch.. I didn't notice it till I rewatched it

[@videodslrtutorial]

Richard Gauthier Yeah, maybe he said Turkey Airlines or something.I only recognized it at 1:53, not at 1:29.

[@XionProductions]

Thanks so much for this, it helps to know how this all works

[@flansss]

As long as you get good traffic though your channel and interact with your viewers then you can get money through that as well. Just keep updating your channel and making videos for the love of it and the money will follow

[@videodslrtutorial]

Matthew Robles Some of his videos are very expensive in production.If he would have to pay for that, he would need 10 Million views only to break even.

[@luboyanev]

Thanks for sharing ! Great tips, there is a lot we learn from you

[@DanBernard317]

Nice ADR "Turkish Airlines" lol @ 1:52

[@PedroHofmann]

Devin Graham - Your videos look so amazing filming with your 1DC - why use this and not a C300 which has 4:2:2 color and also compact? Are you filming in 4K or in HD with 50frames because of your quick movements of action? I hope to get a reply from you - really interesting to hear because I cannot decide which cam to buy. Thanks

[@utube123998]

The explanation of product placement was product placement. Genius.

[@anhJer]

2:03 "now lets look at number 3" *puts up 2 fingers* lols

[@radradR0bot]

Did you get royalties from Reeses in this video? Nice bid thanks for sharing

[@pubixful]

hey devin i was shopping and i saw one of your videos to show the hd resolution in a tv set

[@etrain8885]

I totally think you guys should get some merchandise...idk about other people, but I would totally buy it!

[@TheShooter1337]

Was wondering about this, thanks. :D

[@Rodneyjamesoniii]

Thank you for this!

[@Nihaaa24]

I love you man. Just a mad bloke you are mate.

[@danecobain]

Cool video, dude - never thought of stock footage as a revenue generator!

[@jannikliebl3431]

In Germany (where I Iive) I see your videos about 3 times each month.

[@MaddogRoxs7]

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU

[@spamsfilms]

Loved the re-dubbed "Turkish Airlines"... wanna know what you actually said though!!

[@thuksampurna]

Thank you!! nice IDEA

[@alanmlkbanda]

you're the man brow, keep it up, #SupertrampFiever

[@djmalinda]

thanks for bieng honest youtuber...:)

[@DaanM96NL]

Did you do that stock-footage thing with a dutch tv-channel too? Devin Graham

[@Ahmm101]

You are AWESOME!!! thanks for the insight

[@pattyj0708]

to do some projects you want to do, did you went to look and find organizations or people who could sponsor those projects and have to present to them what is it you're trying to do or was in your case, did they end up finding you? Or maybe a bit of both?

[@SolarMoth]

you are awesome for explaining this.

[@jcaessens]

yeah. in the netherlands they use your rope swing video on the channel called Veronica.

[@mashafurtado]

love the end song, i bought it a while ago. i wish you had more!!!

[@AbdelkarimBaniMouloud]

whats the name of the outro song plz

[@karlamicheldealba]

You're so cool haha everytime I watch you I always think...MAN, he's so cool

[@1092061996]

i love he mostly mention kobe while one of the best football-player ever was in the commercial to

[@tonymeistro]

Finally someone tells us how you make money!

[@8usterrNutt]

Just a wondering, for product placement do you reach out to companies, or do they reach out to you?

[@qanibaal]

I saw your footage on a dutch tv commercial!

[@bokeflo]

Great Strategy for Great Videos!!

[@theandrewmoraca]

Did you work on the Selfies with Kobe and Messi and/or was that just an example of great product placement!?

[@devinsupertramp]

Just an example of a recent product placement vid that uses "stars" and "product" to help both people out. We do similar stuff with what we have been doing in the Ford campaign we just did. Hope it helps my friend.

[@jbjstyx]

***** Can you do something like Selfie Wars? That'd be awesome!

[@JasonBowdach]

Joseph Kahn directed that, he's pretty interesting to follow on twitter.

[@888SilentNinja]

outro song is - up and away by cant stop wont stop

[@rasmasyean]

So is that Reeces Peanut line like #2. Product Placement? ;)

[@chrisiscool92]

More like getting people to watch the Turkish Airlines advert

[@maxmoog7890]

look at 1:30, the audio was added in post production

[@WanderlustWonderscape]

Was the thermostat a product placement?

[@Darksideneo]

+Devin Graham How much is average price for filming your video? (or starts from and ends to)

[@nickcross3132]

Not many youtubers do but, affiliate marketing, its pretty simple if youre a youtuber and have a following. What it is you can get products from small-big companies and they supply a link at vendors, you then make a video including the product and paste the link in the info box. Click bank is a great vendor as most of the commission % is from 50-75% thats a lot. This is great for youtubers. People make a living as a affiliate marketer using blogs or as ads on their site, just imagine, you have over 100,000 people viewing your videos and 10%-20% decide to click the link then from that 10,000 1000 buy that product depending on the price of the product, you have made a lot of money and keep making as the video gets more views. Clickbank affiliate marketing check it out

[@ThomasMendenhall]

Thank you for making this.

[@willlewis77]

Why'd you re-upload?

[@friederikebauer7810]

that explains why I saw a video of you in a german advertisment on tv! :

[@travisjohansen6453]

Has your revenue sources changed shince publishing this back in 2013? What would you suggest to people starting out without a large audience to sell product placement? Work on just building an audience and cool videos and then pursue product placement?

[@NeerajSainiOfficial]

Hi Devin, if the royalty free music, is applied by another user on his monetized video, so can that music be used again on any other monetized video?

[@supervideoaddict1]

That stock footage thing, they did that on duch tv too! :-)

[@silverman77777]

Great insight!

[@inverdestruct1895]

Nice devin!

[@tarrycar9028]

I really enjoy your videos, I so wish I could join in some of them! >< Have a superb day/night.

[@ajmomoho]

I literally just got here from that Turkish Airlines video. Jackvale sent me there.

[@xyoxus]

Are you also colaberating with German Advertismenting companies, 'cause I think I have seen some scenes from your videos on German TV, but I'm not sure.

[@ROBSKIES211]

That's cool as hell thanks

[@zahid_]

How does the 'like' and 'subscribe' system incorporated in all of this?

[@Peff2001]

like obviously shows how many people like the video, and subscribe shows the latest videos etc on the KZbin Homepage

[@videodslrtutorial]

ZanyZeee Likes and subscribes don't make any money, but of course people who subscribed will most likely continue to watch more videos.

[@comet1996]

thats cool as hell man

[@kealanoconnor8956]

Song at the End?

[@JustinWritesCode]

Can't Stop Won't Stop - Up and Away (feat. June)

[@erikwheat7813]

Nice voice over when you said turkish airlines lol

[@SMYAH]

ANOTHER QUESTION: so how do you find these sponsors? do they contact you or ?

[@plotcoalition]

Devin, I so want to shoot a video with you... we should plan something... idk if I ever meet you I will probably beg you haha

[@Beickon]

How did you started with "Product Placement" I mean it makes a lot of sence but i feel your subscribe number has a big rol on this right? I mean im starting, i have send some email and no response ... or is there a web page you can share that might help us ?

[@Beickon]

+Beickon btw awesome video !

[@anthonyfromcanada]

Dubbed over you saying Turkish Airlines, the audio change gave it away. Also you cant show a still of the video when going over #2 but at the end you have a few seconds of it playing.....

[@mchase4]

True Dat. All these guys are getting paid if you click that Turkish Airlines link.

[@Darksideneo]

Haha, I have already seen 3 links to Turish Airlines ads in videos on KZbin today

[@LM16098]

#4 Putting attractive women on the thumbnail.

[@TopNotchTommy]

Stock footage is like licensing your vids right?

[@dphotos007]

If you are selling stock footage did you pay any of your models a flat fee in order for them to sign the model release allowing you to own the rights to their image. I do sell stock footage and you can make a lot of money selling it for advertising purposes especially if you are your own agent.

[@DCFanatic7]

devingraham Let me intern with you! I would sell everything I own to do what you do, such an inspiration!

[@unidecimo]

Now it makes sense why I saw you guys on Veronica XD

[@TexasRedneck]

How do you get to "own" your own footage? If I upload videos, KZbin "owns" it. I had a video that was on the Local news station here in Dallas, but for the reference they just put "KZbin".

[@Gromitz101]

He sells the the raw footage I assume so they can piece/edit in what they want.

[@TexasRedneck]

I was referencing when uploading to KZbin. KZbin can use the video as they see fit. I think you have to be a partner in order to reap the benefits, i.e. money, off of your uploaded videos

[@WanderlustWonderscape]

KZbin obtains the rights to use your video. They don't "own" it. I'm pretty sure that a local news station in Dallas does not have an agreement with Google to willy-nilly use videos as they please. They may justify the use as "public interest" as they are a legitimate news agency. Depends on the context of the usage. You should call them out on it. If you are mature about it, they will probably consider your point of view and change their newsroom policies to include links to the videos, or something similiar. Then it becomes a win-win for both parties. www.reelseo.com/youtube-copyright-ownership/

[@TexasRedneck]

Paul C Judgmental much?

[@crazyflow099]

Great Video!!

[@austinmiller7249]

1:53 I'm not sure what he said originally but it definitely wasn't Turkish Airlines XD

[@jiggaman198]

This is some intense stuff!

[@DanWActual]

Google is making it harder and harder for creators to make a living off youtube! First off, pay for the mobile views!!!! Also, will we see some Devinsupertramp merchandise in the future?! Also, because of your videos, I have a huge interest in making some higher quality videos for what I do on my channel and I am slowly procuring all the tools! Take care

[@UpdatedUser]

Not specifically pay for mobile views, but for the damn mobile ads. It's such bull shit, they keep all the mobile ad money for themselves.

[@TheKnifeReaper]

UpdatedUser yea between no pay for mobile ads and ad block also its tough.

[@DanWActual]

***** My current network doesn't take a percentage of my ad revenue and also does a great job at selling ads. I am extremely happy with my network and their support. I am not happy with google constantly getting more and more greedy

[@TheKnifeReaper]

which network are you with

[@DanWActual]

***** Outdoor Hub. Check them out. They are great people. If anyone is interested in joining the network if they have kind of a outdoor theme, check them out and let them know I sent you.

[@jaythepuertorican]

I was promised a Glidecam by late November, Devin :P Haven't forgotten have you? Haha

[@jenellsaphid]

Great video!

[@hongziyang]

Was this video a product placement for thermostats? :)

[@rauno56]

Every time he says "Turkish Airlines" it seems like the phrase has been pasted onto the video after shooting. Weird. The lips aren't in sync even. @ 1:29 and 1:52

[@DigitalNoomad]

GIVE US A COLOR GRADE TUTORIAl PLEASE!!

[@rasmasyean]

4. Hot Chicks and Six Packs

[@dcastropty]

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? Nice product placement ;).

[@king4aday4aday]

Nice product placement for Reese's :D

[@RashpalSAGOO]

Great video, Quick Q... To make $10 on google Adsense how many views do you need

[@potatocrew4069]

10 000

[@Archetapp]

It all depends on your CPM rating. CPM ratings can range from 1 + dollars per thousand views. You could make 10 dollars in 1000 views if your CPM rating is very good, or you could make 10 dollars in 10 - 20,000 views. It all just depends on your advertiser / sponsor. Hope this helped!

[@maaz7228]

+Daniel Mills Indian u idiot

[@BananaTV21]

how do you get someone to do product placement with. because if you don't like ask then isn't it like a copyright object.

[@yos2481]

Unless you have permission. Usually the companies come to you, example mt dew paid him to put on those shirts and show their cans. Only problem is you cannot show other logo's in the video, such as a man wearing a shirt with a coke logo on it or something.

[@devingraham]

yos2481 Well said my friend.

[@devingraham]

Yes, you are correct, need to get permission, lots of times you can get away with it though if your show there company in a positive way :)

[@yos2481]

Love your videos Devin, you are an inspiration!
