I am not sure why but in the last couple of days numerous people, including my wife (Indian Cooking Channel), have approached me about how to potentially make money with YouTube. With the enormous amount of video consumption that happens on a daily basis you’d think acquiring a whack load of subscribers would be a simple task. Think again, every hour there is hundreds of hours of video being uploaded so to say that your competition is immense is an understatement.
