    You can definitely use Youtube for that purpose. If you do a search on Youtube you will see tons of content related to tech fields. You will be able to link the videos to your website if you wish and this will also promote your SEO rankings. The ability to monetize your video is all in the options when you upload the video. I would say, Absolutely post videos with your knowledge and providing proof of a great outcome will do nothing but bring great things your way!

    Good Luck!

    Are you meaning to post videos about technology? If so, then yeah Youtube has a huge market of people interested in technology and gadgets.

    Youtube isn't specialized in this market, but it isn't specialized in any market really haha (maybe cute puppy/kitten videos...).

    But yes, Youtube can be a great way to share your content!

      well actually it's sounds weird what i'm going to say but one just one video posted by a girl who is showing her dog or even her soles after a day of work is making more than 100kv of views with lot of comments and likes meanwhile if I take all my videos which are more than one hundred and which require time, effort and a certain level of expertise are just making 56722 views and end up by making no more than 0 $ and this is similar for the rest of IT & dev related channels except few ones and even those which they dont exceed 100k to 200k of views.

      This leads me to the conviction that youtube is not the convinient place to post my videos and start earn the minimum income that i may deserve in counter part of time, endeavour and expertise and that let's impress that youtube is just made for prods advertisement or services, chicks who are showing their bodies parts or idiots like me who believed in a given moment that they can earn some bucks sharing their videos to make no more than 0$ and no more.

      When I've made some research i found that even google is not happy with youtube
      NO ONE is making money from YouTube, even Google

    It usually takes a long time to build up considerable views on Youtube. It really is dependent on your subscriber base.

    How many people are subscribed to your channel? The people getting 1mil+ views in a month or less are those with huge subscriber bases or really viral video content (usually not monetized as it most likely isn't really theirs i.e. something funny that happened at the oscars or or another tv show).

    However, I think if you can put in the effort to get that subscriber base, Youtube can be a fantastic way of generating revenue relatively simply.

    Think for a moment, if you ran a tech/gadget channel. Once you get enough subscribers, make a video about a certain product, and use an affiliate link to link back to where people can buy it, or promote other people's channels in that same niche for a fee, or get sponsored by tech companies for using their gadget or putting their logo somewhere in the video.

    While the ad revenue is the most obvious way of earning with Youtube, there are a TON more as well!

    People post pretty much anything on Youtube. So, if you have some interesting videos to share, related to technology, IT and so on, I don't see why you wouldn't try Youtube out. Best of luck!

      Because youtube make me 0 $ given that total number of views don't exceed the 60000 view for all my videos and similar vids like me are reaching pretty same views number level that's it.

      I think the how to vids that show expertise in certain field are posted in the wrong place if they are posted in youtube.
      Because youtube is simply based on the number of views to reward you and not to the content it self.

      I think the better strategy is to use youtube just to attrack people how are interested in the content and then you sell them your content in a separate place this could let you earn more that realying on the number of views
