10. Starting a vlog on YouTube
Industry: Internet publishing;
Ranking on Business News Daily’s list: #19;
Same as blogging, publishing interesting and funny video materials on your YouTube or Instagram, can grow from a hobby into a well-paid business. The video is currently the most profitable publishing form. If you have a popular vlog on YouTube, you can earn money directly from the platform and make native advertising deals that can later turn into a full-time sponsorship. You don’t need big investments for starting a vlog. You can film it with the regular camera, and use open-source software for video editing. Later, after the first returns start to pour, you can invest money in purchasing better quality DSLR camera, microphone, professional lights and other filming equipment.
