If you have wondered if you could make money with your YouTube channel, but didn’t know what to do, this LMScast episode will show you how to monetize your YouTube channel in a whole new way.
Most people go the route of posting their videos, then becoming a YouTube partner, which allows pop-up ads to run at some point during the video. If your video goes viral and you attract an incredible number of viewers, then you might make some money. However, the reality is that most videos won’t generate the traffic necessary to realize much income this way.
There is another more direct, less intrusive way to make more money from fewer viewers with your YouTube channel, and that is by offering online courses. You simply post a few introductory videos to generate interest in your subject, and then direct viewers to your site where they then pay fees to take your courses online.
If you have already made videos about your subject then you have content ready to convert into online courses that people will pay for, and using a learning management system (LMS) like LifterLMS makes that process simple. And if you target beginners with basic courses to bring them up to speed, they will likely continue on into your intermediate-level courses.
You don’t have to be a professional instructor to create online courses. In fact, a lot of people prefer to learn from someone who is less polished and more accessible. And instead of editing out any mistakes you make in your video, use those as teaching opportunities. Your students will likely make those same mistakes, so they need to learn how to handle them.
No matter what it is that you enjoy and want to share in your videos, you can learn how to monetize your YouTube channel by offering online courses you create with a development platform like the LifterLMS plugin for WordPress.
