Ok I really wanted to start doing youtube since 2008-2009 it seems to be so much fun but I never could save the money to get started, buying a good gaming/ editing pc, game console recorder mic ect. Over the years I been watching youtubers that inspired me to do youtube like 402thunder402, Chris Smoove, TheRadBrad, David Di Franco, the people on the hermit craft and minecraft servers ect I just love there videos. It's now 2014 and I'm 19 years old and I still haven't been able to start doing youtube, right now I don't I have a job and I been looking for the longest I'm still looking. I just want to know if I could make extra $ online the side so I can start youtube, and help my grand mother pay bills, it kinda makes me feel bad. I'm not gonna give a sob story but things haven't gone right for a while now. I want a really legit way to make $ using apps or surveys ect, payable to pay pal or amazon gift cards, an not the ones that take mouths just to get $5. I don't have a bank account so I don't know how that would effect pay pal. I want to start a gaming channel doing walk throughs/ game play videos, tech videos, I love tech, gaming and I always wanted to try video editing this is perfect for me. So far I used app nana and swag bucks and got about $20 worth of amazon gift cards, but it's to slow I understand that. Any help would be much appreciated.
Want to start doing youtube?
Very good question
From the parts i can answer, here is the best I can do:
I personally have a gaming channel. I use a free editing software (windows movie maker, online photoshops, etc.). The capture card I have is an AVerMedia, which I think only costs around $200. Inexpensive to some things I have seen. It records great quality and is pretty simple to set up. If you want to record on PC or on your iPhone, there are some free apps or unregistered hypercams you can use to record (I have seen plenty of people do this and become successful). Online though, it is very hard to make money unless you are big. Honestly when it comes to youtube, just make videos you enjoy making and watching, use the free things you can get as practice, every successful person started with low quality items, their personality and creativity helped them get money. Plus, youtube is a lot harder to gain attention now a days.
You were just using the wrong programs. There are much easier ways to get all different types of gift cards; YouTube won't be the best, most certainly.
This is most probably the easiest way to earn an iTunes, Amazon, Skype, … Gift cards. It's your best bet at making a lot of money.
First of all, on your Android device, iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, go to https://welcome.freemyapps.com/getstarted.html?7b6f4264.
This site is called FreeMyApps. You'll have to download apps, and in return, you'll earn points. You can then use these points to redeem gift cards. Then you can make a huge referral database, and that'll really bring the $$ without having to download anything.
Proof that this site really works:

2. They posted about it on iJailbreak.com (a credible and well known site about Apple devices (http://www.ijailbreak.com/applications/download-free-ios-apps-from-freemyapps ).
You do realise that there are probably millions of other people doing the exact same thing that you want to do now? The YouTube 'market' is so saturated now, that people only really watch the most popular channels.
If you started in 2008-2009 then you would've had a chance.
