Hey guys. I've mentioned it here before but my main expertise is in Games Development, making 3D stuff to put it simply. I'm a lecturer in the field at one of londons TOP colleges. I used to post tutorial videos on YouTube, provide a service and I got very popular for this 'niche' and was monetizing with Adsense until DUN DUN DUN they suspended my account for no reason now I still have over 400 subscribers linked to that YouTube account but no more contet as I took it off.

I then stumbled eupon Udemy where I have set up a course doing again tutorial videos on using 3ds max, photoshop etc on how to make game related content.

I have earned a tiny bit of money on there but I am wondering if there is any other way I could take my skills and make maybe a product out of it. Or other possible ways to make money out of this skill which is very specialist. To to point out the gaming industry is one of the biggest in the world now so I'm sure there is a demand for quality tutorials. Problem is there's a lot of
It for free on YouTube, I have tried to differentiate myself from them by rightfully claiming that my tutorials are some of the most in depth on the web.

Anyways enough rambling...just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

    What did Google say when you asked why they blocked your account? There's plenty of other players out there like Google, so just have a look around. It's always best sticking to what you know has worked.

    Create video tutorials to help others on youtube and gain a fanbase. capture there emails and then sell the something. You could think of product creation.

    Start a blog and break into the "getting into the game industry" niche.

    Or

    Start a small gaming company. This might sound hard, but if you can code, all that's left is an artist and some creativity, don't worry about the whole "company" thing until you launch, by then you'll want a name for the game to be under. Launch it on Steam and profit.

    If you have a really awesome idea that'd take a lot of time, you could even start a kickstarter for it.

    The gaming industry and the IM industry are two highly different fields, my friend.
