Hi Warriors!

How to monetize my Youtube channel / blog where the readers / followers are children / younger kids with no Paypal account etc ? I'm living outside U.S and Youtube partnership not allowed in my EU-country yet. My Youtube channel got 550.000 views and 220 subscribers including 40 videos (about 30.000 views / month). How can I make some money

Any suggestions ?

BTW this is my first post ever in this great forum! Bear with me!

    No PayPal and no money?

    Are you sure it's the audience you want to target?

      Started the Youtube channel / blog with my kids -just for fun! Now the videos got a lots of views and I started to think about a monetize method. But it's all hard work to convert some money here

        Good to hear you already have your audience.

        I might just be a little difficult to target a demographic which isn't famed for having huge amount of money.

        With that said, I'm sure it's not impossible and there are always the parents to target as mentioned if you played it more tactically.

    I'd be branching off and targetting adults instead.

    one of the only ways you can monetize with your target audience is with ads.

      GREAT QUESTION

      This is a niche where you have to convince the youngster to convince his parents that he needs this product.....
      Its one of those times when you find a child with an Xbox or whatever and ask him why he needs it........ And then let him talk... Is he a good salesman....YES... He convinced his parents or whoever to buy him one..... NEVER lose site of that input.

    Perhaps target the parents?

    It'll either be successful or they'll hate you, haha.

    Perhaps you could edit it slightly to appeal to adults too - things like Angry Birds are really popular with adults too?

    If your audience can't buy anything then you need to have ads and possibly some CPA offers. However there is just something about getting kids to do email submits seems wrong.

    I think you are better off finding an older audience though.

    Good Luck

      Well done Jonathan!

      Darned tootin' it's apps. You see, kids can't pay in the way that an adult would pay and they are ineligible for many things, but what kids do have and what they are happy to spend money on (and their parents are happy to let them) is their phone. Apps, ringtones, wallpapers etc can all be purchased with phone credit.

      I actually branched out into this a while ago. Paid a developer to create me a few apps and sold the site after the initial rush died down.

    You are definitely targeting the wrong demographics. You will have to rethink your strategy and your target customers if you're going to make money.
