How can I make money off You Tube if I'm less than 16???

[CastleCrusher]

So I recently started a YouTube channel <removed> and realized the following...

-Google Adsense now requires either 100,000 or 10,000 views to use their program

-And Amazon Affiliates requires tax income information to use their program

Is their any way that I could make money from YouTube at my age, or is it the channel requirements that are getting in my way???

Thanks in advance.

Minus the viewing and subscription requirements, you could

• lie about your age (I do not recommend)
• Use adsense through your parent's email
• Use agency/network such as Fullscreen - the minimum age is 13 for Fullscreen specifically

Clearly, I think highly of the second & third bullet and not the first . If they find out about your age, your account will be terminated. It's happened to me before unfortunately (I was also really stupid with keeping it low-key).

 

Besides that, you need build some internet rapport and meet those statistics before applying to a network or Google Adsense. So grab that camera/mic and get to recording! Good luck!

I tried the second bullet before but the only problem is, I will have to work to get the required amount of views

Well of course. They won't offer potential ad revenue to someone without any credentials. 

Makes sense

Yes, it's called effort.  You won't earn revenue from YouTube by doing nothing.

I'll just work on my channel now and worry about money later

If your in the US you out of luck. You have to wait till you of age, falsification or "working around the issue" can get you and or your parents under scrutiny by the IRS.

I strongly suggest you contact YouTube and find out what you can do LEGALLY in order to receive Legal compensation for your work.

I really don't think at age 13 you should put your face and or real name on the internet, keep that in mind. 

It's also possible to make quality videos without your voice even, but you won't make much if any money and doing voiceless wrong is cancer. 

 

If you do actually do youtube, as a hobby not income is what'd I'd say. 

Mow lawns, fix laptops/tablets, there's other ways.

You have to tread youtube as if it is a job. (technically that is what it becomes). You have to put out quality content that people want to watch and develop a following of viewers and build up a reputation. 

 

Even if you didn't currently have a restriction regarding needing so many followers to get adsense. The reality is that you wont get much revenue if your view count is low. 

 

Realistically, you need to think of building a youtube channel the same as building a business. What you get out of it is directly proportional to what you put in. 

 

Revenue requires work.

Not alot of detail given here so im gonna assume a little *feel free to correct me*. You are young so you dont fuly understand how Youtube works. Dont stat making videos to make money or dont make continue to make videos with only monetairy gain in mind. 98% of the time IT WILL NOT WORK OUT. Do youtube because you enjoy it and find other ways to make some extra income. People always need baby sitters and people to do yard work!

All I can say is don't expect to make any money off of this. You'll have better luck getting a part time job right now and good luck with that as at your age, it's pretty much illegal.

If you're going into any thing expecting to make money but you don't actually like what you're doing, it's not going to be sustainable. Find your passion first, then try to find a way to monetize it.

 

Besides, you also have to be certain you want to deal with taxes. But hey, the earlier you learn, the better.

[William Payne]

Yeah one thing that others have recently mentioned is very important. You tube videos take time, investment and passion. 

 

Look at all the most successful youtube people, they first and foremost love making youtube videos, they have passion.

setup a burner email, and burner P.O box, take all the crappy chinese product offers people get, take them all. Make a chanel about all the crappy chinese products companies are trying to flog

by the time you have enough viewers, you'll be old enough to make money from them.

I know OP won't listen, but I can't say this enough. Out of curiosity, I decided to look up someone on a game I played (essentially doxing, I just had no malicious intent, just wanted to see how deep I could get), and even though he was rather "secure" just from his steam profile I could find everything on this guy. Where he went to school, his program at said school his name, facebook, IG, his town, photo's of his house. I was even able to find out certain personal issues that he posted online about in "anonymity". And that was all from an hour on a Friday night with a few beers.

 

I'm 20 and that was a very sobering moment for me, and made me go back and look over how secure everything I have is. I work in a line of work where some people have access to sensitive materials, and the stories I've heard about people -way more professional than myself- leaking said info/documents is mind boggling. A 13 year old kid (who face it, is not mature at all) posting their personal life, voice, and possibly face on the internet can lead to big fucking problems.

 

I've seen grown men fall into scams, and a 13 year old kid desperate to "make it big" and grow his youtube channel is an incubator for shit like that.

Youtube ad revenue is really bad, like $1-2 per 1000 views. Additionally, gaming channels have some of the lowest earning rates per 1000 views. 

The online money game is not easy, it requires providing a lot of people with a lot of value. 

Good luck though! you'll figure something out one day
