Earning From YouTube Videos.

You might have heard about someone, his friend, her friend, his friends friend and so on who earns money online through advertising. Until now, i was among the one who use to hear such stories, now i am the one who is talked about.

My journey in this amazing passive source of income begin with YouTube. I had created an account in 2008. The first video uploaded in 2009. Essentially, my hard disk was just 80GB (which i updated recently to 500GB, thanks to passive income from YouTube!) so i begun uploading videos on YouTube, mere as a backup.

Gradually, i started receiving hits. And one day in 2011, i uploaded a video on Ganapati Darshan at Lalbagh which got instant 150 hits. The next day i received a mail from YouTube asking me to monetize the video which i did. I just kept uploading videos but never bothered to monetize others.

In Oct'2012 when i was jobless, i dug deep into this monetization process just out of curiosity and boredom. I discovered that i can monetize almost all videos, it had an option there! So i monetized all my videos in a hurry. Majority of them got monetized but some were bumped by copyright issues asking for legal documents so that i can make money from those videos. I ignored those videos and cancelled  monetization requests.
The first day, i was shell shocked to see the earnings. It was 8$! That's massive when you know nothing about it! That's how i decided to unleash the full potential about this passive income. I got acquainted with the copyright issues, do's/dont's about it and begin practicing it.
My subscriber base grew and now i am happy with passive income which i earn virtually doing nothing!
I am a science teacher, so these days i have embarked on created educational videos and posting one video each week to keep my subscribers tuned in. I learned basics of video editing and generally use Movie maker for making videos.

This is a prologue on how i got monetized by passive income. Tune in to more technical details..
