It's never been easy to make money from YouTube. You need a lot of clicks to pull in lots of pennies.

But, clearly, some innovative and energic people are starting to figure it out.

Our friends at Business Insider have compiled a list of YouTube's biggest rising stars in March, using data from TubeMogul.

The secret?

Here's how Business Insider put it:
