How much money can you make on YouTube if your video goes viral and is monetized?
One of the videos on my Youtube channel became viral. By this date, it gained 53M views and still generates money for the new business owner (I sold youtube business in August 2018 for six figures).Let's have a look on how events unfolded. The video was uploaded on July 19th, 2017. It gained circa 55k views during the first 24 hours and then started declining with its ups and downs. Frankly, I forgot about that video, because I was concentrated on new quality content creation. I made optimization and moved on.In four months that video started gaining views. Here is how the viral effect looks like. Within one week it grew from 34k views per day to 2,4M views per day.Here is how much money that video generated (Disclaimer: most views came from Russia, CPM here is 3-5 times lower as in the USA).What caused that viral effect:Good SEO optimization (tags, description, headline)Super catchy packshot (I would instead say clickbait)Once I saw video has good chances to become viral I started promoting it in other popular videos from my other channels (End Screen promotion, Community tab, etc.)Once the video reached It peak - I did nothing with it.I was consistent and made at least one video per dayMy subs reached circa 800k by the day that video became viralWhat is the current situation?It still gets views and here is how much money was generated for the past months solely form this video:I have lots of other similar cases with 13M, few 10M and lots of 5М+ videos. You can't say for sure what video can become viral; however, you can increase chances by following simple abovementioned steps.Good luck!By the way, currently, I ran a small technical youtube channel with 20k subs and $10k shoutout price. It took me seven months to reach these numbers from zero, and I'm going to reveal it + going make FULL analysis step by step.

What equipment do I need to make YouTube videos?
First talk about equipments then think about your budget ok. 1. A camera to shoot video. It could be a webcam (good one) a video camera, a digital or dslr camera. 2. Separate mic is good but if your camera could record with internal mic no need. 3. For shooting yourself need a tripod to fix camera. 4. Any camera but must have remote control to turn on and off. Some time this is very handy. 5. A video editor. You can use a free ware or shareware with good features. 6. Lighting and Mic these are very important but if on tight budget leave it. Now, if you are going to record in full HD in that case your camera got this features. Which camera should you buy and should it be new or used depends on your budget. I will suggest As you are starting out buy a good used camera and from rest of the money buy other equipment when you got confidence in video shooting buy new stuff. The best way to buy camera is go to the nearest shop ask the sales staff what features you need write that down. Move to another shop. Make it sure if used item is there any warranty period it is must. I know we can also buy online this is good only if the seller agrees in case of defective goods it will be replaced or money back. After reading above think yourself what you should do. Do not waste money use it wisely for an other attraction.

Checkout how far your $550 will get you, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ns=... And yeah, dont forget to include the 18-55mm kit lens. Also taxes Other things you will need is a spare battery & a spare 8 GB SD card Some of the dSLR's listed in your price range, http://www.dpreview.com/products/compare... Do some homework about the features of each Next up, go to your local camera stores and handle the cameras you short list The one that feels right in your hands, and you are able to handle well is the one for you All dSLR's function similarly & yeah it's more a matter of personal preferences Good luck in whatever you choose, you cannot go wrong with any of them
What will be the best camera for me under £300 or $400 for YouTube videos so that I can record in my room in a dim setting with only LED lights and to avoid video noise?
If you are shooting in a dim setting, you would get much better results with a camera that has a larger sensor. They are better at capturing footage and would have less noise. Unfortunately, such cameras are more higher-end and cost a lot more money.There are other questions too of course, such as what you plan to do in your videos. If you have not budgeted money for a good external mic or lavalier mic, then you should. You’ll likely need a good tripod as well.The simplest answer to your question would be to use some of your money to buy more lights. That would be a lot more cost effective and you could get by with a cheaper camera. The other big question is how dim your room really is.If you specifically want a dimmer setting, then you have a dilemma and fewer choices to fix it. As you are probably already aware, you’d need a camera that has a better sensor plus a much wider aperture and not need to crank up the ISO to compensate for the light (and add noise in the process).If you are willing to get something 2nd hand, on ebay you can get a camera like the Panasonic LX100 for about $400 - it is an excellent camera with a four-thirds sensor, like the GH4, and likely would satisfy you - although it only has internal mics so you might need to get an external audio recorder and dub it on your video editor.If you insist on something new, there is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 (about $500, depending on your market) that also has a four-thirds sensor. Both cameras also shoot in 4K which means better future-proofing (though ultimately there is no such thing) and if you scale down to HD footage, it still looks better than any comparable camera that just shoots HD.Another choice might be the Nikon D3400 for about $400, or Canon T6 for about $450. These only shoot HD, but they have APS-C size sensors, which for your budget is as good as it gets. Their kit lenses only go as wide as f/3.5 which is decent but not spectacular.
After you started using green screen for your YouTube videos, how many more viewers did you get than before you used them?
OK, I believe I was asked something similar to this by the same person just a little while earlier. The answer is zero, because for what I’m doing on the site - I’ve hardly ever needed it. I think you may be talking about backgrounds or something. Does Keemstar use greenscreen? Pewdiepie? Markiplier? It’s not needed unless you have a reason for it. And if you do, you need correct lighting, camera settings and editing software if you want it to look right. This is my answer
For YouTube talking head videos, I currently own a Nikon D3200 + Nikkor 35mm 1.8G. To upgrade my production quality, should I buy better glass and keep the D3200 or upgrade to a GH4? Budget can be around $1200 USD in either case.
I would look into the Nikon ( AFP ) lenses. The 18-55 AFP and a few others have a new focus motor. It's called a Stepper Autofocus. It's very quiet, sharper, faster, than anything else on the market. It also has instant manual focus override. Just grab the focus ring and go. When recording your will never hear the focus motor. It will also focus in near darkness. Sound fantastic yet, there's more. There is no external movement when focusing. That way there is less chance of dust being sucked in. They also improved the glass. Yep it has 12 elements now instead of 11. And of course it's Gelded. And your can get up close. How close ? Close enough to see things you don't want go see. The AFP is distortion free as long as you have the Auto Distortion on in the camera menue. It's very well built and light. Image stabilizer works outstanding. I don't do this very often but I would buy it from Ritz Camera. Grey market only $90.00 dollars. For that little amount of money I would forget the USA warranty. It does not come with a lens hood but for that kind of money what would you expecte. You will have to add firmware to your D3200. You can do it yourself and free. You won't be sorry. You can also get the AFP in 70-300 mm, 10-20mm, 18-70mm, there may be more but these are the lenses I'm aware of.HAVE FUN
What is the best camera to film videos?
This question has been asked before and you should have seen the other answers first. But it all depends on your budget, If you want to film YouTube videos and you have a low budget then your phone camera should be good but if you are trying to get a decent upgrade you could get a Nikon B500 which is around $300. But if you have a higher budget you could get the Panasonic Lumix G85 which is an amazing camera and really good for it’s price as it can shoot in 4K.Now if you want to vlog you should get the G7X as it is the best camera out there for vlogging, it has all the essentials from flip screen to recording in 60fps.It is around $800.
Should a beginner photographer buy an entry-level DSLR and start learning? Should he jump right into the semi-pro or pro-level cameras so he doesn’t need to buy a new body after learning the basics?
My personal opinion (so take it as such) is that idea of spending extra money "investing for the long term" for more expensive lenses and bodies is an archaic relic from the film days when cheaper equipment was less durable and prices were more stable.That's not to say I don't think you shouldn't spend money for quality equipment (lenses in particular)... but I think you should purchase equipment for your current needs and not for the indefinite (aka may never actually happen) future. For one thing I think you are wrong that it saves you much money in the long run. Say you buy a brand new D3300 today for $450. In three years time, the price of a unused D750/D810 will probably have dropped over $500. For camera bodies you will probably have paid about the same amount over several years (especially when you resell the D3300)... in the meantime you will have a camera that is half the size and half the weight, making it much more likely you will bring it/use it every where you go and I think that will be 10x as important than the additional features a D810 might have over a D3300.Now lenses tend to hold their prices a lot better... but again.. a 24-70 F2.8, 85mm F1.4, or 70-200 F4 all are very very big, heavy lenses (each will be heavier than you D3300 + DX lens combined) - making you less likely to carry them with you all the time. Also once you get past the superficial benefits of increased sharpness and shallow depth of field... as a novice photographer, your skills as a photographer will not really benefit much from these things in the long term (i.e. they don't really help you "learn")The one real exception is buying a tripod - tripod design has for the most part been the same for decades and you can save a lot if you buy a quality tripod now - I still use the same tripod I bought a decade ago and there is nothing I've seen in the last tens years that would make me even want to trade my tripod for a new model for free.
