-: Here's another one, 3 3
off air events, and speaking engagements. 4 4
This is another source of revenue available for YouTubers. 5 5
So, if you're a full time YouTuber, 6 6
and you're gaining traction, 7 7
people may invite you to speaking engagements, 8 8
related to either your channel theme, 9 9
or maybe related to social media and content creation. 10 10
If you can figure out a way to turn your content 11 11
into a performance, 12 12
then that's even better. 13 13
You can perform at these events. 14 14
Very popular YouTubers can do even tours, 15 15
or hold meet and greets. 16 16
But any of these things are possible, 17 17
and they come from putting time and energy 18 18
into your YouTube channel. 19 19
You may not know what to charge, 20 20
so making friends in similar positions 21 21
as you is very helpful. 22 22
If you can't do that, then trial and error. 23 23
Also, when you're negotiating, 24 24
you don't have to charge the same amount to everyone. 25 25
You may do a gig for free even, 26 26
if it's for a good cause. 27 27
But obviously, if it's a corporate event 28 28
and it's sponsored, 29 29
then you'll need a reasonable fee according 30 30
to your channel size, 31 31
and the value that you bring by being there. 32 32
In fact, when you start getting this type of work 33 33
on a regular basis, I would recommend getting a manager 34 34
to help you navigate this, if you feel overwhelmed. 35 35
In fact, get a manager the day that you can afford it.
