Monetize YouTube - from the beginning Monetizing Digital Products

This episode is showing my journey at the beginning of my journey to monetize my four YouTube channels. What I thought might be interesting, is to do it in four different ways. With any luck, one of these strategies might be a similar category of content to what you are building.

One is done iwth existing pet videos on tiktok.
One is done with content I am creating - Safety Moments
One is adding an RSS feed to YouTube's Podcast feature
and the last one, is the video version of this podcast, sharing my journey to monetize digital assets.

How long will it take to get the traffic and subscribers to qualify for the YouTube Partner Program?
How often am I publishing to each channel?
What else am I doing (or not doing) to promote this content?

My ultimate goal is to create passive income with digital assets, and I know this is going to be a slow journey, and one of consistency, and NOT quitting. I also intend on following the data. If I am doing this four different ways, one of these strategies will do better than the others. I can then cross-pollinate those winning strategies to other channels. Time will tell.

I had a similar journey when I was building a shopify store from scratch (Carrie's Closet) and I tracked my stats daily and weekly. When I found something that worked, I doubled down on it. When something didn't work, I made decisions to give it more time, or to change course. I am consuming content as I go to learn how to do this better. But I am also starting form where I am at and moving these four channels forward with care and feeding.

Here is my update on YouTube for your learning or entertainment!

Monetizing YouTube – 4 approaches Hello everyone! Welcome to episode 2 where I am going to talk to you about monetizing your video assets using YouTube. My name is Carrie, and my podcast is sharing my journey of turning digital assets into passive income. Today, I am going to discuss my four existing YouTube channels and I will share my four different content approaches. I am curious which one gets accepted first into the YouTube Partner Program, so that I can monetize my views with royalties. Let’s get into it. Approach 1 – monetizing my personal YouTube account. My personal account before I started this monetization journey was simply a dumping ground for anything I wanted to share with others. Some videos were private and I would share the link. Some were public, and I shared video of items I was selling on ebay, as an example. Traffic was not a priority for me, it was simply a tool to distribute content outside of facebook, since not everyone in my life uses social media. Starting February 1st, I got intentional about monetizing this channel, and my choice of content was downloading my tiktoks, which consisted of funny videos of my cats, dogs and chickens. This is all existing content I have put on tiktok over a few years, and its also content I make ongoing, because my animals are always doing something funny and interesting to me. My strategy simply is to upload a few tiktoks a day, since I have a huge backlog, and to see if I can gain followers and watch hours. Without a doubt, this has so far been the...
