How a Dog Earns His Owner from $2 600 to $41 300 per Year on Youtube

In this article, we want to share a prime example of how a husky dog owner devised a monetization scheme for copyrighted content on YouTube, earning anywhere from $2 600 and $41 300 per year. It's no secret that videos featuring certain dog breeds, including huskies, attract a substantial number of views, particularly from a broad English-speaking audience.

As a result, the revenue generated from views on such videos is significantly higher than for those geared toward users in the CIS. While geo-niche channels targeting residents of countries like Poland or Germany can be lucrative, that's a different story altogether.

Let's dive into this article...

Allow us to introduce you to "The Husky Moon," a YouTube channel featuring various thematic videos of a husky named "Moon." The channel header is relatively simple, consisting of cut-out photos arranged in a particular format. In the top right corner, links to various social media platforms indicate that the channel owner is actively developing the channel, possibly as a hobby or full-time job.

The owner of the Youtube channel has put in a lot of effort and dedication, which is evident from the impressive number of subscribers it has amassed. The channel owner actively promotes the channel on various social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Pinterest, as can be seen from the links provided in the channel header. As a result, the channel has attracted a diverse audience from different parts of the world, drawn to the channel owner's English-language videos featuring him and his dog.

Despite being based in New Jersey, USA, the channel owner's content has a global appeal, as evidenced by the international audience. The channel owner is a proud owner of a woolly husky, and his furry friend is joined by two siblings, Breon and Milo. The husky family is under the loving care of Britani and Mark.

It is worth noting that the channel was launched on December 20, 2020, just before the New Year's Eve celebrations, and has already amassed an impressive 87.6 million views, according to the channel's statistics. Clearly, the channel owner's efforts have paid off, and the channel is a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and the bond between humans and their furry companions.

Top Videos

Moving on to the top videos on this channel, it's noticeable that they are in the "Shorts" format, which indicates a lot. In the USA, monetizing videos in this format has been in place for a while, and considering the English-speaking audience of the channel, the income from watching "shorts" could be comparable to regular videos. However, without real statistics from the channel owner's office, it's more of a guess than a reality.

One of the videos in landscape format has gained 1 million views in a year and has a duration of 3.5 minutes. Creating and publishing videos in the "Shorts" format is the easiest way to gain subscribers for the channel to quickly connect monetization. However, these subscribers may not see the new videos due to the number of channels they have already subscribed to.

Monetization

Taking a closer look at the channel owner's monetization methods, it seems like he has some knowledge of affiliate marketing. He has created profiles on top social networks and directs traffic from there to his YouTube channel. In the video description, there is a link to the Tryfi offer that gives a 25% discount on the advertised product. The channel owner sells collars for dogs and gets a percentage of the sales.

Another link in the description leads to an Amazon platform where the channel owner has gathered all the goods he purchases for his dog in one place. This is a partner store, and each order made through the link will give the channel owner a percentage of the sale of any product.

There were 20 products, but unfortunately, they couldn't all fit on the screen. Additionally, the channel owner has provided links to their social media accounts, including Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. This suggests that the channel owner not only monetizes their content through direct means on YouTube but also engages in affiliate programs to generate extra income. While exploring the video descriptions, we stumbled upon a merchandise store, which we believe is worth checking out for more information.

Personal Merchandise

Their merchandise store is powered by the Spring platform, which means that the designer can create unique products featuring any of their pictures, and they receive a percentage of the sales. It's as easy as a couple of clicks to create branded t-shirts, hoodies, phone cases, and more. When someone buys your product, you'll receive a payout on PayPal. Check out our partner merchandise store to see the available options, including modest but trendy items like t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, thermoses, and bags.

Even with limited options, it's possible to earn money from this store. If we calculate the mathematical average, it comes out to be around €21, which is the average check in our store. If 0.1% of our channel's subscribers purchase something from the store, the channel owner could earn approximately €4 900. However, we recommend looking at the YouTube channel analytics service to understand how much the channel can bring in direct monetization from YouTube.

Monetization

Let's not beat around the bush—to understand our channel's potential earnings, we can turn to Socialblade. By entering our YouTube channel's identifier into the search bar, we can access statistics on the channel's performance.

Since its creation on December 19, 2020, our channel has published 451 videos, which have garnered 87.6 million views and 201 000 subscribers. On average, every 450th video view results in one subscriber. Our channel focuses on animals in the USA. When we look at the approximate income indicators per week, there is a significant range, from $215 to $3 400.

This range is due to the channel's videos being in the Shorts format, which can interfere with YouTube algorithms.

Based on this data, we can estimate that the channel owner of this channel earns between $2 600 and $41 300 per year. However, considering the number of subscribers on the channel and the Shorts video format, we can assume that the total profit for the year could be double the minimum annual indicator. There is an unspoken rule that each subscriber can bring the channel owner at least $1/year.

Conclusion

Starting a YouTube channel for your pet and optimizing the content for a wide audience could open up a new source of income and traffic for any niche affiliate programs. However, it requires more work and less thinking.
