VidIQ vs TubeBuddy: Which Is Best for YouTube Creators? 2024

by

Growing a YouTube channel is one of the best ways to make money online. It’s up there with ecommerce and software monetization. The barriers and startup costs to launch a channel are low, which makes YouTube an enticing proposition. There are many ways YouTubers earn money, including ad revenue, merch sales, affiliate marketing, and more. YouTube’s global reach of 2 billion users has helped creators to make six, seven, and eight-figure incomes annually.

Achieving success on YouTube is harder than it used to be. In 2015, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said that over 400 hours of content is uploaded every minute. I’m confident that figure has increased and will someday be over 1,000. Therefore, creators must compete against hundreds of hours of new content each time they upload videos. Secondly, YouTube released stricter eligibility criteria for its partner program to thwart low-quality content. The updated guidelines also make it tougher to start earning ad revenue via its partner programs.
