Don't forget to factor in that evergreen content will continuously bring in money, especially if you're funnelling in viewers from outside the YouTube algorithm. A video I made in 2014 is still the bulk of my YouTube income
- arve0 9y agoMaking money of old videos might change, if video suggestion algorithm prefer new content. Some suggest that it already have changed: https://youtu.be/03dTJ4nXkXw https://youtu.be/03dTJ4nXkXw
- corobo 9y agoIf you're relying on your videos getting views for your monthly pay you shouldn't be relying solely on some constantly changing algorithm. > especially if you're funnelling in viewers from outside the YouTube algorithm
- icelancer 9y agoRight. You should also be blogging, engaging with others on forums, having a solid social media presence, etc.
- corobo 9y agoEspecially if the content is truly evergreen. Chances are your audience has grown a year or so after posting it - tweet/fb/etc it out again!
- _0ffh 9y agoYeah, even with reduced discoverability evergreen content is very possible as long as you've got any exposure at all. I will often watch videos from the backlog of content creators I have newly discovered.
