Are you wondering how people make tons of money from YouTube? Are you eager to know about the process and want to earn money from YouTube? Then this blog is for you. Here I am going to discuss the tips and tricks of getting money from YouTube.

Does YouTube pay-per-view?

As mentioned earlier, anyone will not make any money just uploading content. The content needs to be viewed. And here comes the exciting part. For every view, you will earn between $0.01- $0.03 per video. With AdSense, you can earn $5 on average for 1000 views in your video.

Does YouTube pay for subscribers?

Nope. YouTube does not pay for subscribers count. However, subscribers are essential for your channel. Subscribers are the people who are interested in your channel, and they are most like comment, and share your videos. Besides that, you need to have at least 1,000 subscribers to be accepted into the YouTube Partners Program.

Will you get paid for 1,000 views?

No. You won’t get paid until you reach 20,000 views. That means you need to reach a minimum balance of $100 to get started with the payment.

What is the YouTube Partners Program?

YouTube creates YouTube Partners Program to help content creators to earn money through advertisements on their page. Apply for YouTube Partners Programs. You must be eligible for this. The eligibility list is:

  • You must have at least 1,000 subscribers.
  • Reach a minimum of 4,000 valid public watch hours in the past 12 months.
  • And obviously, you need to have an AdSense
  • Suppose you have the eligibility as mentioned earlier. In that case, you need to sign and agree to the terms and conditions of YouTube Partners Programs.
  • After completion of the last point, you need to be reviewed and get approved.

And, if you get approved and then you will be able to earn money through advertisements.

You can earn money in two ways. They are:

  1. CPM (Cost Per Thousands Views): With CPM, you will earn money for every 1000 views.

2. CPC (Cost Per Click): With CPC, you will earn money based on the number of clicks on the ad on your page or video.

The most exciting part is, google will share 68% of the revenue they will get from displaying ads with AdSense. That means, if a video generates $1000 from AdSense, then the content creator will get $680 (which is 68% of $1000).

Are there any other ways how YouTubers make money?

Yes, there are many other ways a YouTuber can earn more money. Besides Ad placement, some other facts help to increase the income of a content creator. Some of them are:

  • Affiliate Links: Affiliate links are one of the most common ways to earn money. We all saw Youtubers are reviewing a product. Alternatively, they are using the name of different brands or services or anything they want to mention. They are throwing the links of the products/ brands/ services in the description box. When a viewer clicks on the link from the description box and makes a purchase, the YouTuber/ Content Creator will get the percentage of that purchase.
  • Sponsorship: We all know YouTube is the most widely used video showcasing platform all around the world. If you have an outstanding amount of subscribers or followers in your account, you will obviously get many sponsors. Companies will want you as their partner, and you will get the money. All you need to do is maybe their product review or promotions. That’s it.

Should anyone take YouTube as their carrier?

If anyone is talented enough, has good communication skills, and has enough dedication for content creation, then why he would not take content creation as a carrier. Taking YouTube as a carrier should be a good opportunity for all.

So if anyone is confident enough and enjoys content creation, obviously, s/he can take YouTube as their carrier.

Tips

Some tips for earning money from YouTube are:

  • You have to be regular. Maybe you will not get your desired response, but you need to be regular.
  • It would be best to have the right equipment, for example, a good camera, a good microphone, or an overall good setup.
  • It will help if you are specific about what you want to do. For example: maybe you want to make a travel vlog, lifestyle vlog or product review, or anything you want. But you need to be very specific to attract your target audience initially.
  • It will be best if you have outstanding video editing skills. It is the most important skill any YouTuber should have.

So, that’s all for today. I will not take any more time. Just get started with YouTube and all the best!!!

Have a great day.
