from Elder My City, with Tim Schmoyer · host Schmoyer Media
YouTube has changed so much over the past decade, and what used to be a goldmine a few years back now barely brings in a few cents.In this episode, I break down how the creator economy has evolved and tried to make sense of the whole "business model" thing. I talk about different ways you can create value with your content, how to deliver that value to your audience, and most importantly, how to actually earn from it. I also explain a few key revenue models, like the classic YouTube AdSense, brand deals, and this new approach that's all about providing direct value to your audience. By then end of this episode, you’ll understand how to make your content creation efforts more profitable and stable.
