Mary Doodles shares ways to build a business with your educational channel

Hi, Mary, and my channel is Mary Doodles, where I do time lapse art videos.
For my channel YouTube has opened up monetization routes by allowing me to sell original paintings,
work with brand deals and get speaking opportunities.
So today I’m going to share with you some ways that you can make money with your channel
and educational brand and help expand the educational ecosystem by open sourcing your
content.
Let’s dive in!
There are multiple ways you can earn money straight on the YouTube platform.
First, you can run ads on your channel by applying to join the YouTube Partner Program,
as long as it’s available in your country.
After you hit 10,000 lifetime views on your channel, your activity will be reviewed against
YouTube policies.
You’ve probably noticed that your audience goes wild when you live stream and your chat
window at times can have a constant stream of comments from your viewers.
With SuperChat, viewers can pay a small fee to send you comments that will stand out against
the rest in color and size, so you can more easily see them and reply.
It’s a great way for your most loyal fans to engage with you and to receive a monetary
bonus!
A third option is looking into brand collaborations.
Currently, more and more brands are looking for opportunities to partner with YouTube
creators.
Usually, brand collaborations consist of videos that promote or mention a certain idea or
relevant information about a brand.
And working with brands has introduced me to new audiences.
Crowdfunding is another way some educators use to help their channel thrive.
Crowdfunding works best when you have a dedicated audience who are willing to contribute to
your channel.
Or, if you have a specific project in mind that you’d like to fund.
There are plenty of crowdfunding platforms out there
Have you thought about merchandise for your channel?
Many creators have found success selling channel-related merchandise to their audience.
Beyond YouTube, think creatively about how to monetize the educational experience you
provide.
Speaking engagements like at Vidcon or at schools around the country have helped me
to make revenue and also inspired new content.
You can partner with schools, institutions, and organizations to bring your videos into
the classroom.
Allowing other creators to reuse your content is one way to help strengthen the educational
ecosystem and share your valuable point of view with learners around the world.
YouTube is already being used in many classrooms and boardrooms across the world.
You can create a curriculum map for your content.
You can provide customized resources, like lesson plans, worksheets, tips and tricks,
data tools and interactive elements.
All my art lessons on my channel are open sourced so that everyone has an opportunity
to improve their abilities.
