you can get money by creating a youtube channel and collecting views
or through shortcut links like adfly
or through survey sites like swagbucks
but they make little money
There is a comedian in my country that do make alot of money from creating YouTube funs and he is making. I do believe that it is through the fun that you can actually makes money in a way that you will become wealthy.
You're right mo I know people who have millions of views
They get $ 2000 in month
At the end they are entertaining.
