Hey everyone! Tony Maritato here. In this video, I’m diving into a new business model idea for creators on YouTube, specifically for those who collaborate with product companies. I’m exploring whether it’s better to charge companies directly for video creation or to encourage them to use their Google ad accounts to run ads on the videos I make for them. Why? Because YouTube pays 55% of ad revenue spent on Google ads, which could offer a scalable, ongoing revenue stream. We’ll cover the pros and cons of both models: Direct Payment: Secure, predictable income with full control over rates but limited upside if the video performs exceptionally well. Ad Spend Model: Potentially recurring revenue based on ad spend, increased video reach, and the chance to scale earnings, though with less control and quality variability in traffic. There’s also a hybrid option – charging a smaller fee upfront and encouraging ad spend on top. This approach could balance immediate income with ongoing passive revenue. Join me as I brainstorm this with ChatGPT-4 and weigh the possibilities! Drop your thoughts in the comments. Would you take an upfront payment, rely on ad spend, or blend the two? Let's figure it out together. 0:00 – Intro: Exploring a New YouTube Business Model 0:20 – Charging Product Companies Directly vs. Ad Spend 1:30 – Pros and Cons of Direct Payment for Video Creation 3:40 – Benefits and Drawbacks of Ad Spend on Product Videos 5:50 – Hybrid Model: Balancing Payment with Ad Spend 7:05 – Conclusion & Feedback Request: What Do You Think? 🔗 Connect with Anthony Maritato Website: www.choosept1st.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-maritato/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/choosept1st/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anthony.maritato.73 About Me: Hi!
