First of all, I will let you know that now I have 6 year experience in this field. But in start, my friends earn handsome amount from internet. And I think that it's a wastage of time. But when my school friend told me that she earn on monthly basis from youtube. Just from download and upload youtube videos. She also tell me to try this one time. And I asked to my father that I need laptop and internet for my studies. After too much effort he bought me a laptop and I had only 150KB internet speed DSL. Anyway, my friend come to my home and tell me some basics that how she did it. I was talked about 2013. I simply download the video which takes almost whole day to download. And after this I simply crop it using movie maker put my channel name on it. And re-upload it with good title and description.
Firstly, I can't get enough views and after 2 months I can't even earn 1$ from internet. And I again think that it's just the wasting of time. And I am correct. And I leave my channel. Because the internet fees pay my father. And I feel bad for him. Anyway, I leave this field and start studying again. And after exams my friend ask me for my work. I tell her the whole story. She ask me to provide my channel name. She open my channel on her laptop. And what I see was shocking for me. One of my old video, getting 10k views. I am happy and start work again. Firstly, I was not much aware about Monetization and something the whole process done by my friend. And after 1 month of hardwork I get my first earning which is 102$ from Adsense account. And when my thoughts getting clear about youtube. I take it as my full time job.
And now I had earn 100$ per day. But there are many up's and down's which I can't mention here. If you have same experience like this also share with me as a motivation.
