There are plenty of means to make money in this world, only who knew that a child could make tens of millions of dollars publishing videos on YouTube?

In a new written report this calendar week,Forbes revealed that viii-yr-former Ryan Kaji fabricated a whopping $26 one thousand thousand off his YouTube videos this year. He started by reviewing and unboxing toys, simply has since graduated to scientific discipline experiments, according to the report. He even has a bargain with Nickelodeon and Hulu.

But Kaji isn't the only child with pregnant earnings on YouTube. Five-yr-old Anastasia Radzinskaya fabricated $xviii million this year, co-ordinate toForbes data. She'southward been able to amass that wealth by producing videos of her playing with her father. She also shares the videos in 8 languages.

TheForbes findings bespeak to just how much can be fabricated by creators with compelling content--if they know how to monetize information technology. And, if nothing else, information technology suggests that children, especially, are interested in seeing other children playing online. And, if theForbes information is accurate, there's serious money to be fabricated in this category.

Simply the findings as well make articulate that while it's possible to brand millions of dollars on YouTube, there are many more creators with channels that receive little or no interest. Simply putting upward videos of your kid playing with toys or doing science experiments is no guarantee that the child will become the adjacent large net star.

What's perhaps most interesting about the ii children in this twelvemonth'southwardForbes list, all the same, is that they've also generated income outside of YouTube. They both have deals with major brands, and, in the case of Kaji, there'due south fifty-fifty a branded line of habiliment and toys for his fans to buy.

That said, the days of cashing in on children'southward videos on YouTube might soon end.

YouTube has settled with the Federal Trade Commission for allegedly violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. In response, the company said that it will ban ads on YouTube that specifically target children. The company might also change search, and so children's videos don't appear so highly in the results.

Kaji, Radzinskaya, and other child auteurs of YouTube need those searches and ads to drive their income. If that goes away, it's possible they could fall offForbes'due south list adjacent twelvemonth.

For at present, though, they're making great money while making videos for other children to bask. Here'south hoping they're socking some of it away for higher.
