In todayโs video we discuss; how to make money on youtube in 2023, we walk through the success of Markiplier and how heโs making money on the popular video sharing platform, youtube!
Markiplier faced a few hiccups early on in his Youtube journey, one of which almost buried his chances of ever becoming successful from the very start. But despite the hiccups, he persisted, found his voice, style and built an enormous following of fans who loved watching him play games with his humorous commentary, which pathed the way for many of the other gaming Youtube channels you see today. His decision to quit college and go full time, definitely worked out in his favor, especially considering the fact that he is now one of the highest earning youtube stars, something that for most would make them change, yet he is still as humble and cool as ever!
So how does he monetize this clout and what lessons can we learn from this to make money online?
