+298 When you think about it, being a YouTube celebrity has some advantages over being an actual celebrity. You still get money, fame, and adoring fans, but without the paparazzi constantly following you, lies in tabloids, and you've got the opportunity to keep your private life as private as you want, amirite?

how do you earn money off youtube ?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Some of the really big YouTube stars have earned A LOT of money. YouTube itself pays you for becoming a partner, you're payed when ads play on your videos, and some YouTube celebrities even sell their own tshirts and other merchandise. It's possible to make a career out of it.
