From what I get from people like CoryxKenshin, Neebs Gaming:

CoryxKenshin

1) Have good audio and camera. None of that cheap stuff that you'd hear on an old radio with the static. In the case of Neebs Gaming and theradbrad they never show their face like Cory, but have great audio.

2) Be comfortable in front of a camera. The more confident and positive you are, the more subscribers you'll get. Also it's good to be funny, but don't force it.

3) Mix things up a bit. While CoryxKenshin and Neebs Gaming mainly do video games, they have done other stuff. Cory would do Cooking with Kenshin, where he'll cook food for reaching a certain amount of subscribers. He's also done Spooky Scary Sunday where his fans will send him horror videos. He'll then put them together and watch them with us on YouTube.

Neebs Gaming has also done music, and will animate their own cartoons.

4) Good editing. There's more than just sitting in a chair and talking to your audience. CoryxKenshin and Markiplier has some great content. Only difference is, Cory edits his own videos while Markiplier and Neebs Gaming have someone else doing the editing.

5) Be consistent. It's your job now, so you need to post maybe everyday, or once a week. CoryxKenshin can afford to leave for months, considering he makes plenty of money from his videos and merchandise. His videos garner millions of views a piece, hardly any at all under 999,000.

6) You gotta be tough. Even positive YouTube gamers like CoryxKenshin get hate. Rather than feed them, it's best to ignore them and focus on the good. You want to be seen in a positive light, don't fight anyone.

7) Have merchandise. People love their YouTubers, so as a fan you want something from them. So release t-shirts, posters, mugs, etc..

All in all, keep folks interested.

Don't know if its easy for you.

But technically all you need to do is upload videos and built a fanbase who watch your videos and sponsors will come to you.

Money from youtube is not soo much.

But building this fanbase and views can be a really long process, and lots of work.

It’s not easy. They are content creators and a rare few make money

No, it's not. There is no easy way to make money.
