Any hobbyist can produce videos and upload them on YouTube to share with the world. But as a small-business owner, you also can produce tutorials to make money, which can be an effective source of additional income. To get started, buy a good quality video camera and create a small but well-lit stage setting. The better quality your tutorials, the greater hw you have of making money from. YouTube tutorial producers can make money based on the number of people who view the content. The way it works: advertisers pay Google — the company that owns YouTube — to display ads on videos.
