Start a Blog
People have been doing this for years and still earn money from their blogs. The key is to have a large following of loyal readers who are willing to pay for your content. There are lots of different blogging platforms you can use for free, such as WordPress or Squarespace. Once you've built your blog, you can start writing posts and promoting your content. There are plenty of ways to make money from your blog. You can sell advertising, become an affiliate for products you recommend, write e-books, and sell consulting services. To make money from a blog, you’ll need to put in the time and effort to build your following. This might not happen overnight, but once you have that initial traffic flow, you can monetize it in lots of different ways.
Invest in Google Shares
If you want to make money from YouTube ads but don’t want to deal with the hassle of creating your own video content, then you might want to consider investing in Google shares. This is a long-term investment strategy that can earn you money if the value of the company ever goes up. There are two ways in which you can invest in Google shares: directly through Google or through a brokerage firm like Vanguard where you can buy shares in Google. You should know that investing directly in Google is a very risky proposition. Google is currently the world’s most valuable company, and its shares have a dividend yield of 2.6%. You have to be patient, though, since Google’s stock price hasn’t changed much over the last couple of years.
Advertise with Youtube Ads
YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world, trailing only behind Google. This means that people are actively and regularly searching for products and services, and you can capitalize on this by creating your own YouTube ads. You can create your ads and target the content towards certain demographics and interests. You can start with a basic advertising package, which includes things like targeting and video creation. This option allows you to create and target your own ads, though you’ll have to pay between $10 and $100 a day. Alternatively, you can choose to buy pre-made ads that others have created. You pay for these based on the number of views they receive, which can range anywhere from $1 to $100 per 1,000 views. You can use these pre-made ads to promote your website, sell merchandise, and drive traffic to your content. There are also multiple ways in which you can place your ads, including on other video creators’ videos, on Google searches, and on YouTube’s home page.
Become a YouTube Consultant
If you have a large following on YouTube (and can offer a service or product that’s needed by the YouTube community), then you might want to consider becoming a YouTube consultant. A YouTube consultant is someone who advises other video creators on how to improve their content, increase their reach, and make more money from their videos. There’s always a demand for people who can help other content creators, and many video creators are willing to pay for advice. If you’re an expert on a particular topic, then you can use your YouTube channel to showcase your knowledge and help others improve their content. You’ll earn a commission for every client you claim, and you can set up a consulting website to promote your services. Consultants can charge anywhere from $100 to $10,000 per client, depending on their experience and skill set.

There are also more traditional methods of making money, like running ads on your videos in YouTube. However, these methods can be a bit more complicated than the rest.

Seattle Nightlife Report: Pony
Mid-winter Friday night. Early but already so dark. The days are getting longer but 6 PM is still pitch black. “Firepit!” You declare things after just a few seconds of solemn thought – not a request or suggestion, not a demand. Last week you walked around saying, “Hot tub?” to anyone who would listen. Or one afternoon you pointed at two men holding hands as they crossed 12th Avenue, looked me in the eyes and said, “Boyfriends.”
