HOW MUCH MONEY CAN YOU MAKE GOING VIRAL? // YouTube Partner Programme

Hi everyone,
This one is a little different to normal. We wanted to share with you our thoughts on KZread, the ins and outs of going viral and our journey so far.
We also answer the question everyone REALLY wants to know - how much money can you make from going viral?
In the space of 12 months, our channel grew from 20 subscribers to over 74,000, mostly thanks to a viral video involving us singing to our wedding guests!
We'll talk you through the criteria you need to hit to start monetising your channel, copyright claims, and what it was like to go from 20,000 views to 1 million in two weeks.
We also touch upon getting approved by KZread, joining the partner programme and revenue sharing.
If anyone has any further questions about KZread and starting your own channel, please comment below and we'll answer as many as possible.
Take care,
Jamie + Megan

    your the first people on new tube that have been so transparent and helping others get the piece of the pie if wished ! I cant believe you got hit with copyright when you changed all the words and they made more money than you from it overall . There is such a lot of work in doing you tube and you really need to know what your doing . Think this is going to be very enlightening for some ! I would love to see you guys doing a cooking video together . This lockdown has been brutal for us all everyone has been affected in some way , we got covid for xmas then my brother died on New Years eve so it was the worst Christmas we had ever had , surely we are coming to the end of all this soon and have brighter days for all soon , big hugs xxx

    Another fun Sunday morning. I have no intention of ever doing a channel, but being someone who watches a lot, I've never understood how money is made on KZread. It all finally makes some sense. Thanks for explaining all of it. And who better to learn it all from than my fav KZread couple!! And Jamie, I'm glad you're feeling more comfortable in front of the camera, because being the tech guy that you are, you have a lot of good info to share. As far as music vids go, I still think Jamie should do a lead on one, but maybe a good one right now would be "Rise Up." Here's to looking forward to next Sunday!!!

    Congratulations on your Anniversary, your u-tube channel, and most of all, your little bundle of joy!! So happy for you guys. Thanks for sharing your smiles, and experiences with us... U've probably thought of this, but just in case u haven't already ~ what about editing ur original wedding video (without the copyrighted minute) and re-releasing it as an update or 'special edition'? Because I know that the lyrics are so heartfelt and sincere (and u wouldn't want to leave anyone out ~) perhaps u could voice-over with the written words alone...or include the prose at the end? You're both so creative I'm sure you can do something delightful that will continue to be viral...and inspirational. And perhaps pocketing a bit more revenue! I'd watch it, and share it again!! Wishing you all the best! Niki, a fan from Arizona, USA

    Greetings from Sweden! Love me some BTS (and still in love with your wedding video), got three more questions if you feel comfortable: - Copyright claim: could the song owner send a copyright claim retrospectively? - Does the copyrights ever limit you creatively when making a song, eg if I were you I would probably make covers of songs where I know there wouldn’t be a claim. - Unique views: do you get paid per viewer or is it unique views? Was thinking if I should go rewatch your videos to show support 😉 Stay awesome!!

    Your video really resonated with me, when the first lockdown hit I started providing free online baby and toddlers dance and music sessions. I tried lots of different platforms but I was so shocked at the number of Childrens songs and action rhymes that were hit with copyright claims. I wasn’t even trying to make money from them. I am a Franchise owner for a company called My Baby Can Dance Ltd. I know you guys have a music background, if you have any advice on how to create our own childrens songs to get our classes to another level, id really love to hear from you? I have really enjoyed your content, Rupert is adorable, I also had a baby with sever reflux 20 years ago and it was tough, really tough! I do have some lovely content that would be amazing for Ruperts age too. Sorry for the long message. Sam Owen-Smith 😊
