Hi guys
 
There are some Christian youtube channels who are monetized.
Wouldn't it be wrong to monetize your youtube channel if you talk about Jesus?
 
Also, some channels mix videos like"christian advices" and other videos about "conspiracy theories" etc.
 
There are even christian youtube channels who have their own library, selling books.
 
Is this all ok or would all of this be wrong?

I think it would depend on what you used it for.....    except for Catholic type Priests I don't know of any that are required to take a vow of poverty...

I believe the Lord says that those who work for the him earn their pay.

If u hv a Christian bookstore, is it wrong to make profit ? No because u rent the store, but YouTube is free, people should not use YouTube to make money by selling God's words.

What if I was earning say, forty thousand dollars a year, to support myself and my family, paying bills, my taxes and one other unknown non tax payer, food, gas, etc.
What if my business was printing books. Say some of them were bibles.  God's word.
Would that be OK ? (to make a profit)
What if I spent hundreds or thousands of dollars to put together a really cool Christian movie/video.
Perhaps it cost $1.99 to watch on U Tube.
Perhaps only one person watching it was led to a saving knowledge of scripture and believed, and was saved.
Cheap.
And, I fed my family, without food stamps, from my 'profit'

Matt 10,10
Don't carry a traveler's bag with a change of clothes and sandals or even a walking stick. Don't hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve to be fed.

Php 1:15  Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
Php 1:16  The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
Php 1:17  But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.To Live Is Christ
Php 1:18  What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

Jesus inspired Paul to tell Believers that they are to share materially with the one that gave you the Gospel....It’s God’s way to supply for the Church and it gives you a way to build up rewards in Heaven....God’s plan , done correctly blesses everybody.....typical of God.If you were saved by somebody who reached your heart by presenting the Gospel to you, it doesn’t matter if he connected with you on you tube or the Church down the road ...You should be so thankful that the message delivered by somebody brought you to Christ, giving should not be a burden. God is looking for “ cheerful givers”. You don’t have to give a dime to go to Heaven.....but why spend Eternity saved but broke?“ Give and it shall be given to you” Make sure you do it in secret!

Of course somebody who print our Bible must make profit for the living.

Somebody who build our churches must make profit for their living too. 

Because we do not feed them.

I guess if they ask people for donation it would not be a problem because they do not force people anyway, may be they are poor so we can help them.

But they need to tell people that they are poor and need donation. and if they lie they will bear the consequences.
