Here are some options: Patreon, TrueView ads, merch shelves, and YouTube&#8217;s merch shelf. It all depends on your audience and relationship with sponsors. And if you have a huge following, you can also charge much more. These are just a few ideas to help you get started. If you&#8217;re a gamer and want to make money from your YouTube videos, you can try all of them!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Patreon\"><\/span>Patreon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a YouTube channel, chances are you&#8217;ve already seen some video games. If you&#8217;ve seen a video game on Patreon, you might want to consider making money off it. The site has a lot of different niches, but one of the most popular is gaming. Gaming has always been popular, and you can capitalize on this. Video games have become more popular with the advent of the internet, and Patreon is one of the most effective venues to promote your content.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have your channel up and running, you&#8217;re ready to start attracting potential subscribers. First, you should create a page for it on Patreon. It&#8217;s easy to set up and requires very little effort. Make sure that your profile page is well-designed and includes pictures of your work. Remember, most Patreon supporters will sign up for your videos because they have a personal connection to you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_merch_shelf\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s merch shelf<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Simon&#8217;s Cat, a YouTube creator who has nearly a billion views, has just announced the launch of a merch shelf for gaming videos. The feature lets viewers shop for merchandise while watching the videos. The site is partnering with Teespring to make this commerce feature available to more users in Europe. After getting its platform up and running, Simon&#8217;s Cat is well on its way to becoming the first video creator to hit a billion views.<\/p>\n<p>The merch shelf will show up below your videos in the YouTube studio. The YouTube merch shelf will display branded merch, which you can purchase from your video channel. This is especially useful if your channel has a large following. In addition to being an easy way to sell merch, YouTube&#8217;s merch shelf can also serve as a promotional tool for other content creators.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_TrueView_ads\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s TrueView ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube has introduced a new way to advertise on gaming videos with TrueView advertisements. These new ads will appear as overlays over video content and cost money after ten seconds. They can also include call-to-actions. Because users can skip a video after the first five seconds, it&#8217;s important to include your logo in the first five seconds. This way, your video will appear before others on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Using the TrueView for Action format for gaming videos can help increase conversions. These ads will display before, during, and after video content. YouTube will automatically choose an audience based on the video content. The CTAs can be a website link, sign-up form, or buy now. They can also include any other action. For gaming videos, YouTube&#8217;s TrueView for Action format can drive huge conversions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"XBOXs_TrueView_ads\"><\/span>XBOX&#8217;s TrueView ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The newest Xbox console will soon include a series of video ads for gaming content. Those who play games online may be aware of the TrueView ads that appear in video game trailers. But these ads aren&#8217;t as immersive as the game itself. While Microsoft is working on putting ads in video games, many users will want to continue watching their favorite games without being interrupted by the advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>A new program is in the works that would let developers of free-to-play games show video advertisements within their games. Sources told the Insider that Microsoft isn&#8217;t trying to disrupt game play with ads, and that the ads would appear in avatar skins and in game lobbies, not in the game itself. Microsoft is trying to prevent the ads from irritating players, so they&#8217;re putting together a private marketplace where only certain brands can sell ads.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lx6aJDQvj7s\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"229\" width=\"410\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make Money From Gaming Videos on YouTube How can you make money from your YouTube videos?
