YouTube video hosting was founded in February 2005 and is owned by Google. At the beginning of 2019, it has several billion active users. Among which a considerable part already have their own channels.
Recently, more and more people are starting to create video blogs and videos and then post them on video hosting sites. For some it’s just a hobby, for others it’s a way to earn money on the Internet from 5,000 rubles a month. Whoever is there, children and pensioners are already involved. In our age, it is difficult to find a person who does not know that all this, in addition to entertainment, can bring money. Yes, not just a few thousand rubles, but for some of the most successful ones, millions of dollars a year! But we’ll talk about this at the end of the article, where you can also look at reviews about this direction on the Internet.
Let's take a closer look at YouTube video hosting, because it is the most popular in the world and hosts millions of videos on which authors have been making money for a long time.
How do you make money on YouTube?
5 steps, instructions for making money on YouTube
1. The first thing you need to do is if you don’t have an account, then register on the site www.youtube.com. Anyone can do this without any problems; registration there is of course free.
2. Work on the channel, that is, shooting/creating videos. This is the main and most difficult. To make money from a video, you need people to watch it, subscribe to the channel, put likes (like the rating) or dislikes (dislike the rating). The video should be interesting, educational and original. You can only upload your own video! By the way, you can only use music in your videos that is in the special “Music Library” section. You cannot use everything in a row; they will not be allowed for monetization.
You can shoot live using a video camera or a camera with video recording capabilities, or you can shoot from the monitor screen, showing and telling something. No matter what you're shooting, the video quality should be high and the sound clear and understandable.
3. The third step is account monetization!
Here you need to choose the right project, for example, this one:
You will be required to take certain measures without which online earnings on YouTube will be impossible. Until you have the required number of views, namely 4,000 hours over the last 12 months + at least 1,000 subscribers, it will be impossible to sign up for an affiliate program.
From the YouTube help section:
To check the connectivity, you need to go to the section on your channel: “Video Manager” then to “Channel” then to “Status and Functions” and enable monetization if possible. The reputation of your channel plays a huge role in this.
4. The next step is monetization is approved for you, great! This means that earnings will not take long to arrive!
As for Adsense, everything is quite simple. There you need to register, add your channel (it’s better to follow the recommendations of YouTube itself, it will be easier).
An important point - Adsense will pay you your earnings only after you receive a letter from them with a code and enter it on their website. It will arrive not by email, but in a physical mailbox (for some it takes 2 months). Checking the address, you know? My letter is from 4 years ago, the design may be different now...
As you already understand, everything is more than serious! Therefore, when registering, please enter correct information everywhere. I’ll also add to the payments account - there are two options for receiving money earned on YouTube through Adsense.
1. To a dollar account opened in a bank. All you need to do is take your account details for international SWIFT transfers and enter it all in your Adsense account in the payments section.
2. Through the Rapida payment system - this is the same payment system as Yandex Money. The funds will be transferred to it, and then you can do whatever you want with them - pay for the Internet, withdraw to cards, buy something on the Internet, etc. There is even a special section on their website dedicated to withdrawing money from Google Adsense.
5. The last step is the most important and is to systematically shoot the video. You need to shoot constantly. A couple of times a week is best to start with. This is the only way to attract a large number of subscribers and get thousands of views. People won't be interested in subscribing to a channel where new videos appear every six months. Please note this very important point. All uploaded videos must be optimized for key queries and create the correct description. For key queries, search engines and the video hosting itself will rank your video.
These are the basic actions and rules, without which you definitely won’t be able to make money from your video.
Hi all! Today we’ll talk about making money on YouTube. In order to make the article as informative as possible for you, I talked with top YouTube bloggers. So, the recommendations presented below are tips not taken out of thin air, but tested in practice by many successful video bloggers.
Step by step about making money on YouTube
The scheme for earning money on your channel is as follows:
- We are looking for an idea;
- We record a video (interesting for people) and experiment with composing titles with previews;
- We advertise our channel in popular channels;
- Register in the affiliate program;
- We continue to develop the channel and earn money.
But that is not all! Below there will be step-by-step instructions on how to make money on YouTube and a number of recommendations on creating, maintaining and making money on your channel. I searched for all these recommendations from YouTubers for a long time on the Internet and put them together.
Basics of operation and monetization
In order to make money on YouTube, you need to start working on video hosting by registering your account on the YouTube website. It is free for all users and does not pose any special difficulties. The main condition is that you must be over 14 years old (but how this information is verified by the hosting management is not known for certain).
- Go to YouTube and click on the top right corner "To come in".
- On the page that opens you will be asked enter email address. If you have a Google account, simply sign in.
- If not, then under the mail line click " Create an account". I won’t describe the full registration process, it’s as easy as shelling pears.
The next stage is working on a new channel, filming and posting original videos. To do this, click the button “ Add a video". You select a video on your computer, it downloads, and then enter its title, preview (description), keywords (tags), etc.
Users provide their ratings using the “like” or “dislike” signs. Interesting and informative stories make people subscribe to your channel, creating a loyal audience. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to the quality and content of videos, their music and design.
The last preparatory stage is monetization, which is the basis for generating income on YouTube. It is closed for some countries, so the user needs to change their place of residence to the USA in the settings. You can participate in the video hosting affiliate program, which significantly increases your profit percentage, only after gaining a certain number of subscribers and views.
How to make a preview, title and tags
Many YouTubers do not pay attention to tags, but pay a lot of attention to the title and preview.
The title should contain the key phrase by which you want to promote the video. This phrase should also be in the description (preview). But in addition to the phrase itself, the preview should contain a description that will attract the user to view it. Someone may notice that cool YouTubers do not have this description, only a title, or instead of a description there is an advertising link. Yes, there is such a thing. But these people are promoted due to the fact that they have many subscribers. Their video will quickly gain thousands of views, because their active audience will promote the channel. In the meantime, while you are still young and full of optimism, add a preview and make it with the main keyword.
For example, you made a video with a test drive of the Mitsubishi Outlander XL:
The title will be " Test drive Mitsubishi Outlander XL", but you can dilute it to make it more interesting “The most honest test drive of Mitsubishi Outlander XL”.
The preview should also contain the phrase "Test drive Mitsubishi Outlander XL", but in context. In the preview you can also add where the test drive was conducted, what parameters were used, etc. But don’t stretch his description too much.
Example in the screenshot:
Search for key phrases
Now we will look at where to get key phrases to compose headlines, previews and tags. After all, you need to know what phrases to promote so that your video is searched and viewed. If your key phrases have a small number of views, then few people will watch the video if it is not viral. There are 2 options here.
First option - Google AdWords Keyword Planner. Let's go and log in using your Google account, which you have already registered.
Click on " Search for keywords by phrase«
Then in the window that opens, insert in our case “Mitsubishi Outlander XL”, select the country or city that is being targeted and click “ Get options«.
And here you see the keywords and the number of their requests per month. These are the ones you can use to compose titles, previews and tags.
The second way is to look for keywords from competitors;)
Everything is simple here. Access similar videos using the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser. And on the video page, right-click and select " View page code" or " Page source code«.
And in the tab with the code that opens, press “Ctrl+F” and in the line that appears, enter “keyword” (without quotes). And you will see this picture with keywords.
Now you know where to look for keywords and phrases to optimize your video. If you do everything right, you can quickly start making money on your YouTube channel. Let's move on to another step.
How to promote your YouTube channel from scratch
According to many YouTubers, the best advertising is advertising in well-promoted channels. Therefore, add at least 10-15 videos and start looking for popular channels for advertising. Negotiate with admins and buy advertising. You can buy a link under the video in the description, you can have the author recommend your channel in the video, etc. Each author has their own advertising formats.
Many users who want to earn income from views of their videos should know that the YouTube affiliate program only works on popular channels. To monetize videos, the number of views must start from 1000 per day. This means that you will have to promote your channel and attract visitors in different ways. Here are some of the ways to promote a channel on YouTube:
- Use annotations. Small buttons with a call to “subscribe to the channel” appear at the final stage of viewing. An effective and simple method can be set up in a special section and used on all video content.
- Using the call in the video itself. Call-to-action phrases can be added to the main text and unobtrusively invite viewers to subscribe to your channel.
- Mutual advertising. Many novice video bloggers negotiate (or buy) hidden advertising from well-known and proven authors. They will invite their loyal users to pay attention to your channel.
- Comments-invitations. An effective way to increase page traffic is to leave an interesting and original comment under other people’s videos. This could be advice, a remark or a short video response.
- Personal invitations to subscribe. This feature is provided by YouTube. It is limited to 40-50 invitations that you can send to users. Given the limited number, you need to first study the audience, identify potential subscribers by analyzing channels with similar topics.
- Use other languages. YouTube has no borders, so interesting and vibrant videos can be watched by viewers from other countries. This is a promising sector in which the cost per click is slightly higher. You can translate your videos in different ways or add captions at the bottom.
By constantly developing your channel, you yourself will find the most optimal options that will help you constantly increase your audience and profits.
Let's start monetizing your YouTube channel
Now let's move on to how to make money on YouTube. Active video bloggers have come up with several options for generating income through advertising on their YouTube channels. The most popular and accessible are:
- Place links to your customer’s website in the description of the video. The main condition is the coincidence of the theme of the plot and the advertised object, product or service. This can be not only a direct or referral link, but also a “thank you” to the sponsor for their help in creating the video.
- Availability of contextual advertising(a special text message that appears at the bottom of the screen when the video is shown). But to do this, you need to allow it to be displayed in your Google Adsense account, which we will mention separately.
- Placing small commercials before and after the main video. Clicks from such advertising are quite expensive, but they are paid only when viewed for at least 20–30 seconds.
- Placement of special banner advertising on the channel page itself. Here, payment can be for one click to the site or 1000 views of the video itself.
- Attracting start-up capital or orders for a specific product. If you have a unique commercial offer or development, you can film several advertising or informational stories. Such self-promotion will help you profitably offer the product to potential buyers and receive the first prepaid orders from channel subscribers.
- Participation in the YouTube Partner Program, which will significantly increase the total amount of income. Such a special program is available for many countries, but requires some effort and effort from the channel owner. Next I will tell you more about this.
As you can see, you can mainly make money on YouTube by views. YouTube is a unique Internet resource that provides a lot of opportunities for creative and entrepreneurial people.
Our Crazy Joker (an interview with whom you will find below) began to monetize the channel with an affiliate program after 300 subscribers. You can start the same or with more. To start monetizing your channel, the minimum requirements are:
- At least 50 subscribers;
- More than 3000 views per month;
- More than 10 videos on the channel.
- And also all the rules of the YouTube service itself.
The affiliate program itself is called VSP Group.
With its help you will earn money on your channel. Why VSP Group and not directly from YouTube?
There are many reasons!
- VSP Group has more loyal requirements;
- No need to wait for 1000 subscribers;
- Fast and constant technical support;
- It is a certified YouTube partner;
- You have access to all the features of a premium YouTube account;
- Online statistics for your YouTube channel, including data on advertising revenue;
- Education, participation in webinars and trainings;
- Statement of copyright and complete protection of your original video content from plagiarism;
- Recommendations for channel optimization
- And much more.
How much will the affiliate program pay you:
- 70% of income - up to 500,000 commercial impressions on your channel per month;
- 75% of income - from 500,000 to 1,000,000 commercial impressions on your channel per month;
- 80% of income - from 1,000,000 commercial impressions on your channel per month.
Payments will be sent to you monthly to:
- Your bank card;
- Yandex money;
- WebMoney;
- PayPal.
To register, go to the affiliate website, submit an application and you will receive a response by email within 72 hours. If you have completed all of the above points, then the answer will be positive and you can start making money on your channel.
When your channel has a large number of subscribers, direct advertisers will approach you to advertise on your videos. By then you will already be an experienced video blogger and will know the price of such advertising. This income can account for half or more than half of the channel's total income.
How to connect Google Adsense to YouTube
All bloggers and channel owners who want to earn a good and stable income from their videos must have an account with Google Adsense. This is the company’s official contextual advertising service, working on many applications and websites. This is the only system on the Internet that gives more than 65% of its advertising income to webmasters and video bloggers.
Registering with Google Adsense is quite simple, but there may be some difficulties:
- All data and coordinates are entered only in Latin letters. Particular care must be taken to write down the card numbers on which funds will be received.
- When registering in the system, you must indicate your website, which not all users have. Alternatively, you can quickly open your blog on blogger.com hosting. If you are a “pioneer” and have no experience, simple and understandable templates, special articles and literature are offered to help.
- After solving this problem, you can immediately proceed to registering with Google Adsense. You can get full access and start managing contextual advertising only after verifying your account. It may take from two days to two weeks.
There are other systems that can be used for monetization. But only this official service from Google offers optimal working conditions and security when making payments.
What does earnings on YouTube video hosting depend on?
How do bloggers make money on YouTube? How much can you earn on YouTube? These questions concern many of you. If you want to turn your YouTube channel into a profitable business project, you need to study the factors affecting your income level.
Money niches
This factor must be taken into account long before creating your channel. The level of income depends on the right choice. The most popular are money niches on finance and business projects, various ways to make money, and lessons in construction and repair work. The female audience prefers master classes on embroidery or knitting, interesting video recipes or features of growing indoor plants. The latter topics rarely bring real income. The following are considered relevant:
- gameplay videos of popular games;
- detailed reviews of new gadgets;
- various master classes;
- videos with a comedy plot.
Many future video bloggers try to choose a niche that they understand professionally. But income depends entirely on advertising, and not on the culinary skills of the author. The most expensive advertising is in attractive financial niches, so clicks here can cost several times more. If the goal of opening your own channel is to make a profit, you need to carefully study the market requirements and the interest of potential subscribers.
Quality and content of videos
YouTube users are becoming more and more demanding about the quality of videos and reviews. They choose not only an interesting plot, but also a bright, clear picture. Therefore, when creating videos, you should follow the “less, but better” rule.
Before recording each new video or master class, you must carefully prepare:
- make a plan and think about a clear structure;
- think over and work out the text and musical accompaniment;
- make sure that the recording equipment is in good technical condition.
This will significantly increase the number of views on your channel. Video hosting statistics and numerous user surveys indicate that it is not the quantity that wins, but the quality of clips and reviews.
Selection of SEO keys
The goal of any author is to increase the number of subscribers and return users to the channel. In just one minute, dozens of videos with a total duration of up to 100 minutes are uploaded to YouTube. To prevent your videos from getting lost among the new releases, you should remember relevance.
The video hosting search algorithm includes a selection based on keywords in the title and description of the video. Properly written tags and SEO keys will help viewers get to your channel. Consistency is also important for users: if the title and content in the video do not match, they are unlikely to become regular viewers.
Regularity of adding videos
When searching for information and new stories, users pay attention to the date the content was added to the channel, giving preference to the latest news. It is the regular and systematic publication of videos that shows that you are actively developing the channel and care about your subscribers. You shouldn’t upload 10 new videos of questionable quality at the same time.
The best option would be to publish material evenly at intervals of 2–3 times a week, maintaining high quality images and content. Compliance with the measure helps viewers not to get tired of your stories and fuels interest in the next ones.
Total number of views
This is the most understandable and obvious factor that is easy to measure. It is the number of views that helps predict possible profits. Analyzing the videos that aroused the most interest will help you navigate future publications and understand the needs of your subscribers.
The number of views and the amount of your income are directly related: the more views your videos have, the more expensive contextual advertising for them becomes. When you publish a high-quality and interesting video, you will be able to see how quickly the number of subscribers grows, and with it, profits.
Ways to monetize content
Monetizing a video means that the creator will receive a certain amount of money for watching it. To do this, you must first connect to the Google Adsense system. There are many ways to make a profit on YouTube, some of which we discussed above. To get a good income, you need to combine different options, constantly analyze the impact of the video and change tactics if necessary.
Advertising quality
You will not be able to influence the contextual advertising that accompanies the video on the YouTube channel if you allow its display in the settings. Participation in affiliate programs is of great importance for monetization. This type of advertising involves the inclusion of references to a specific product or service in the actual story being shown. It depends on the author how beautifully and ethically this will be implemented.
Seasonality
The level of income on YouTube also depends on the season and time of year. Cost per click may vary at the beginning and middle of the year, decreasing at the end of the period. This is due to the devastation of the budget of many advertisers and the summing up of companies for the year.
How much can you earn on YouTube?
Everyone wants to make money by posting videos on YouTube. The question is how much? What numbers are we talking about? Next I will tell you about this.
The YouTube video hosting audience numbers more than a billion people around the world and brings huge profits from advertising to the project’s creators. If you want to try your hand at video blogging or creating unique master classes, you need to know the simple mathematics of income distribution.
To start making money on YouTube you need to have an idea of some numbers. For example, the cost of a click on an advertising link costs $0.4. If a new video posted was viewed by 10,000 subscribers and 10 of them clicked on the link, it is easy to calculate the total profit of $4, half of which YouTube takes. This means that 1,000,000 views can bring you $400 in net earnings. The video works throughout the entire time it is on the channel and does not require additional investment.
The cost of one click starts at $0.1 and has no limit. Most bloggers, according to video hosting, earn in the range of $500–$1000 monthly. Videos with millions of views collect good amounts of money, so you need to pay close attention to the content and look for bright stories.
YouTube as an additional source of income
If you have your own business project on the Internet, you can use YouTube as an effective way to convey the necessary information to your potential clients. Video hosting has a huge audience and an increasing number of brands, large and small manufacturers are using it to find customers. The main effective ways to earn extra money can be:
- Attracting traffic to your website using videos. This option is suitable for promoting and popularizing online stores, travel agencies and even creative projects. You should not shoot a video with blatant and annoying advertising of a product. Helpful product reviews that can help them make a choice and encourage them to make a purchase will become more attractive to users. The analysis shows an increase in the level of trust in brands that post a lot of free and open information.
- Promotion of a new product or service. An excellent advertising method suitable for almost any field of activity. Creative individuals can offer excerpts from their performances, present new works, trying to intrigue admirers of their talent. An interesting video or master class should unobtrusively invite viewers to purchase the full version, use a new product, or attend a course.
- Offer of goods through an affiliate program. This simple method does not require additional investment in goods. You can shoot interesting reviews of new cosmetics and gadgets offered, or share your impressions of attending trainings. Acting as a third-party expert, you steadily increase your rating, gain popularity and significant percentages from sales of the advertised product.
- Creating a show or entertainment channel. Humor and positivity are highly valued by video hosting users. If you want to express yourself as a creative person with potential, you can create your own show. The theme of extreme sports, sports or healthy lifestyle is used. There are many examples of successful careers after gaining popularity on YouTube. Russian rapper Bakhti, American star Justin Bieber or actor Darren Chris started their channel by running their own channel.
What content is best to work with?
Using an original video means a long promotion, but a low percentage of the channel getting banned. It is easy to connect to monetization through Adsense. When working with other people's videos, you can launch a project faster due to a well-known name, but there is always a risk of getting banned. In the second option, it will be impossible to make a profit using the official Adsense system. A news channel can become profitable and legal if videos for it can be taken from official sources that allow posting.
The most promising niches for work
An analysis in 2015 showed increased interest in news and humor channels, jokes and video reviews. Recently, the topic of sports and various sets of exercises, master classes related to construction and repair have been gaining popularity. If you want to make a high-quality and long-lasting project, it is better to choose an area in which you have great skills and can offer useful information to users.
What to do in case of a ban or strikes?
If the ban was illegal, you can safely write to the support service, explaining the situation in detail. Many owners of channels on video hosting believe that no one considers such requests, especially in Russian. YouTube works with many countries, so a response with clarification will be provided.
If the strikes were from a plaintiff who does not have legal rights to the video, a counter-notice should be filed and contested. If there is a conflict of interests with the legal owner of the video, the right option would be to try to come to an agreement with him and resolve the conflict mutually beneficial.
What mistakes do beginners make when promoting a channel?
In most cases - irregular addition of videos, unwillingness to correct shortcomings in a timely manner, refusal to constantly monitor and analyze your audience. For successful work, every little detail must be thought out: from design to picture quality.
Can I click on my video?
This absolutely cannot be done, otherwise you risk getting your work account banned from Google Adsense. This will lead to blocking of all accumulated income, which will be impossible to withdraw.
You should not try to deceive the system and try to monetize someone else's content. This threatens with an eternal ban. All new stories added for affiliate programs are checked for authorship and compliance with hosting requirements.
How to develop your channel?
In addition to high-quality videos, you need to regularly monitor all statistics, explore links and carefully read subscriber comments. This will help you figure out which sites bring new viewers to you, which stories get more likes, and help you adjust your further actions.
And further:
- Make yourself a video release schedule and stick to it. At least one video per week!
- Make all videos and the channel itself a brand. You must have a memorable channel and video. Each video must have copyright in the form of a logo in the corner or a link.
- Publish only original videos. YouTube doesn't like plagiarism. Moreover, you may be banned from the affiliate program if your videos are stolen.
- Your videos should be interesting and useful. If your videos are useful or simply interesting, then the view count will constantly grow.
- Make maintaining your channel your hobby. If your channel is your hobby, then you will be more optimistic, your videos will be more lively, etc.
- Constantly communicate with your subscribers. Reply to comments on your videos. This makes you more credible.
- Use VKontakte and other social networks. Publish your videos and links to your channel on social networks. This gives an even greater impetus to its development.
- Experiment constantly! This is important advice. Try different headlines, different advertising methods, talk about your channel EVERYONE and EVERYWHERE, work on your channel, put your soul into it and the results will not be long in coming.
Interview with the Mad Joker
- Daniel, hello! Tell me something about yourself.
Hello! YouTuber, unemployed.
— Tell us about your channel. How long ago did he appear? What is he talking about? Why did he become so interesting to people?
My channel " Mad Joker"was created in June of this year. The main theme of the channel is interesting facts and various TOPs. People are always drawn to something unknown, most likely this is what attracted viewers to my channel, since I often talk about very interesting things.
— How did you come up with the idea to create your own channel and why this particular topic?
I started watching YouTube almost from its very inception, when Russian-speaking video bloggers could be counted on one hand. Ever since then, I had a dream to create my own channel that would be watched and that would be interesting to people. Years passed, YouTube changed, many new channels appeared, I persistently followed all the trends and YouTubers, and gained experience. As a result, my personal channel was created this summer :)
— How fast is your channel growing? What is the key to his success?
My channel is growing quite quickly, currently about 20,000 new subscribers per month. The key to success, I think, is in the videos themselves.
— How do you generally choose topics for your videos?
Choosing a topic is one of the longest processes in creating a video, along with editing and dubbing. Since quite a lot of channels like mine have appeared on YouTube lately, there are correspondingly fewer and fewer of them every day: I can spend hours searching for information for videos, searching various Internet resources, because my main task is not just something... then film it and post it, and make a really interesting episode.
— Do you make money from your channel? If it's not a secret, then how much? And what earning tools do you use? Is it possible for a beginner to make money on YouTube?
Yes, the YouTube channel brings in a pretty penny; unfortunately, I can’t give exact figures, since the income is different every month. But, for approximately 1,000,000 views, a person can receive about $250. This is income from the so-called " YouTube affiliate programs" However, depending on the time of year, this figure fluctuates. In some months, for a million views you can get at most 100 dollars. The main ways to make money on YouTube are monetization of videos and external advertising, which the channel author himself inserts into the video.
Anyone can make money on YouTube!
— Where do you get more income: from affiliate programs or from advertising in videos (direct advertisers)?
Every month is different. Sometimes it’s equal, sometimes, like this month, more comes from the affiliate.
— After how many subscribers did you start monetizing the channel?
At the time of monetization, my channel had about 300 subscribers.
— How did you achieve so many subscribers? Many people can’t even get a few thousand, but you already have more than 80,000.
I have quite viral content that is watched by a large number of people. I think that's the point.
— How to promote a channel on YouTube? What promotion tools do you use?
In the initial stages, I only used advertising from other major channels. In general, a YouTube channel can be promoted in many ways, but the most honest and effective are buying advertising from large video bloggers and, if you have a lot of money, buying advertising on YouTube itself. For those who don’t have money - optimization of the channel, video titles, previews, etc. However, this method requires a lot of time and experimentation.
— How to correctly write key phrases/words, headings, etc.? They say that a lot depends on this.
Yes, they say a lot depends on it. But from personal experience I was convinced that keywords play a far from important role in promoting a video.
— How much influence does the title and description of a video have on the number of views?
The description has virtually no effect. About 30-50% of the success of a video depends on the title.
— How do you feel about promoting videos on social networks? Is it beneficial? And which social network do you think is better?
Any promotion is already good, but in social media. networks, especially on a large scale, is a huge plus for the development of the channel. The most suitable platform for this is social media. a network where a large number of Russian-speaking audiences are concentrated. As many have already guessed, this is VK.
— How do you feel about cheating? Did you use this yourself in the initial stages or to this day? And is it even necessary to use it in the initial stages, when there are no subscribers yet?
I have a bad attitude towards cheating rather than good. I haven’t used it myself, but in the early stages it can bring good results. However, this is still prohibited by YouTube itself, and a good promotion will cost you a pretty penny. It's better to use this money to buy real advertising.
— What should a channel be like to make it interesting for an advertiser? What indicators are most important?
In fact, there are very strange advertisers on Russian YouTube. Sometimes you get the feeling that they themselves don’t understand what and how it works here. Some people mistakenly look at the number of subscribers, not realizing that just a “number” will not bring anything. The main factor is the activity of the channel, that is, the ratio of views and subscribers, the number of likes, comments, reposts on social networks, etc.
— Is there any pattern in earnings from the growth of subscribers? Or can a channel with 80,000 subscribers earn as much as a channel with 200,000 subscribers? What does income depend on?
Earnings do not depend at all on the number of subscribers. YouTube pays exclusively for views. Accordingly, a channel with 80,000 subscribers can earn tens of times more than a channel with 200,000.
— What set of programs for recording and editing do you use? What equipment is needed?
Of all the instruments that I have, these are a microphone, a pop filter and a computer. The programs I use are Adobe Premiere for editing and Adobe Photoshop for image processing.
— Do you think it’s possible for a beginner to create a channel and promote it from scratch? Or experience, money, special skills are important here. knowledge, etc.?
All owners of major channels were once newbies. It is quite possible to promote a channel from scratch and even without advertising, the main thing is to understand how YouTube works, which videos are watched, which are not, etc. This can only be done from personal experience or from advanced YouTubers. But, as a rule, it is unrealistic to describe all the nuances. Over time, understanding should come on its own.
— How can a beginner choose the theme of his channel? Chasing trends or does the theme come from the heart?
It's all individual. In my case, it was all together: I wanted to film something educational, and just at that time interesting facts began to gain popularity.
— How to choose the most popular and best-paid direction?
The most paid direction is where the majority of the audience is adults. The most popular thing is something entertaining and not particularly stressful.
— What prospects do you see for yourself in the development of your channel? Will you expand it or are there a number of more channels planned?
YouTube is a constantly seething mess that changes and moves upward every day, so designing your future is quite problematic. In any case, I will adapt to the situation and try to stay afloat. There are also plans to open new channels with completely different topics.
— And finally, as per tradition, give some advice to those who want to create and grow their own channel and make money from it.
Advice is all good, of course, but without practice you will never move. Therefore, if you have a desire to create your own channel, do it, experiment, develop your content and you will succeed :)
This interview turned out to be so interesting! The conclusion can be drawn as follows.
OK it's all over Now! Now you know how to make money on YouTube. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your comments.
There are quite a lot of people who have their own channel on YouTube and constantly post new videos. The topics of their videos are different. But the question of how much you can earn on YouTube for views is asked by most. How much income can you really get?
Who makes money on YouTube
Users who create and publish their own videos can be divided into six main categories.
- The first category of “YouTubers” are altruists. They work for free. They initially do not strive for any income. Such channels can be called “non-commercial”.
- The second category of YouTube users are minimalists. They do not strive for profit, but they will not refuse the opportunity to get at least something. On average, such users receive tens of dollars per month.
- The third category is people who purposefully make money on YouTube. They don’t just post videos with some frequency, but try to find some ways to promote them. Their average earnings are hundreds of dollars, that is, it is already comparable to the average salary.
- The fourth category is users who receive about a thousand dollars per month. Essentially, these are more successful people from the previous category.
- The fifth category is represented by top video bloggers. Their salary on YouTube is measured in thousands of dollars. They are professionals in their field. Unique, high-quality content constantly appears on their channels. The number of subscribers on such channels starts from one hundred thousand.
- And finally, the sixth category is the most successful owners of their own YouTube channels. Their videos have millions of views. These people are incredibly popular in their home country or even in the world. Here the main role is played not even by the videos, but by the names themselves. If an elite, world-famous YouTube user posts even a poorly made video, it will still get millions of views. The income of such people reaches one hundred thousand dollars.
Earning money on YouTube for views
The Internet age makes people active users of the global network. There is no such person who has not heard of YouTube. This site is the largest video service, which is visited by millions of users from all over the world every day for free. What is so interesting about the video content that can be seen on YouTube?
Here, each person, at his request, receives a whole selection of videos of different genres and different specifics. Moreover, this video series never ends, and the user has an excellent opportunity not only to learn useful information, but also to have fun. At this point, the authors of the stories receive a small bonus from the site for the fact that their work was in demand.
If you find out how much they pay for 1000 views on YouTube today, then perhaps the video creators will join the ranks.
The site is becoming more popular every day, and in connection with this, the amount of money that passes through it is increasing. But for many, the question remains unresolved: how to generate income through views? What exactly do you need to do to make money from YouTube? And how much remuneration can you expect when using this service?
YouTube Video Features
There are some key points that determine how much you pay for watching videos on YouTube:
- theme of the plot;
- number of impressions per month;
- popularity of videos;
- user activity and other indicators.
Basically, the amount of money earned depends on the topic of the video and the number of views. But with a huge number of impressions, the topic does not matter. The site is a source of various information and a great place to make money from advertising. Today, more than 100 million channels are open, and more than a billion impressions are registered on the site every day. And he is ready to pay money for good and popular videos. If you are wondering how much 1000 user views on YouTube cost, we will give some small numbers as an example.
On average, you can earn $2 - $5 per thousand views of a YouTube video.
The amount of payment depends directly on the topic and number of impressions. In general, this is a small figure, but at the same time, if the channel has 100 thousand subscribers or more, the amount per month will be decent.
How much can you earn from YouTube per million impressions?
Reasoning logically and knowing how much YouTube actually pays (about $2 for every 1000 views), we can calculate that they pay $2000 per million. In fact, everything is not so and the exact amount for 1 million impressions cannot be calculated.
Advertising activities, a certain topic and the presence of subscribers are not the entire list of parameters for which YouTube pays. Even taking into account this situation, if the video is shown about a million times, you can get about $1000. And this figure is also approximate.
You can go to the service and track how much some popular foreign blogger receives. His earnings range from $250 to $4,000. With all this, the audience of the channel and their demand for a certain product are very important.
To receive money from views, you need to connect to an affiliate program. Each new user can activate channel monetization.
conclusions

Hello, dear friends! The founder of the business magazine HeatherBober.ru, Alexander Berezhnov, is in touch.
Today I will tell you about one of the most popular ways to make money on the Internet - making money on YouTube (YouTube)
You will receive step-by-step instructions, after studying which you can start earning your first money from YouTube.
Make yourself comfortable, let's go!
1. Earning money on YouTube - how much money you can really earn
Today, YouTube is one of the most accessible ways to make money on the Internet, because almost every person has a computer and other gadgets with video cameras that make it easy to create videos and post them on their YouTube channel.
It’s no secret that every day more and more people are using the opportunity to turn their knowledge and skills in the field of video creation into an additional or even main source of income that can be created without any investment.
By the way, the amount of this income can be unlimited! After all, everyone can make money on YouTube: from students to retirees, from employees to businessmen.
According to statistics, the majority of video bloggers who own their own YouTube channels earn no more than $500 per month on the popular video hosting site.
If your income here exceeds $1000, then you can already be called a professional money maker.
In order to achieve such an income, you will need more than one month of hard work and certain knowledge.
Dear reader, you are probably familiar with the work of Max +100500, you have seen the videos “Opa Gangnam Style” and other sensational videos.
Viral video- a video that, due to its originality, quickly spreads across the Internet and gains a huge number of views.
This is how enterprising people earn good money here quickly and easily, with virtually no investment.
First of all, you need to understand that earnings here depend on several defining factors.
2. What makes money on YouTube depends on - 7 main factors
If you want to earn good money through Youtube, then you need to pay very close attention to these factors.
Don’t neglect them, otherwise you will be marking time for a long time waiting for big profits.
Factor 1. Monetary niche
This is the most basic factor that you should consider long before creating your YouTube channel or recording your first videos.
It means that you must choose a “money” topic on which you will blog.
For example, traditionally, financial niches on the Internet are: business, finance, earnings, construction, medicine.
Conversely, if you run a channel on the topic of cooking, cross-stitching or growing indoor plants, then most likely you will earn purely symbolic money, which will only be enough for ice cream.
Why is this happening?
The fact is that the main income on YouTube comes to us from advertising, which will be placed in our videos.
Accordingly, the more expensive it is, the more we can earn. In expensive themes, advertising is expensive, since here the profit of advertisers is many times greater than in cheap themes.
And in vain many people think that if I like to knit socks, collect stamps or go fishing, then God himself told me to record a video on this topic, because I am well versed in it.
This is a misconception.
In fact, the market decides what is in demand now and what is not. This is why it is worth creating content on popular and expensive topics.
Factor 2: Video quality
Everyone wants to get the best and will never pay attention to “hack work” if there is an alternative.
Therefore, the quality of your videos and, in general, professional work on your YouTube channel is the key to the long-term demand for your videos and, as a result, income growth.
Don’t create your videos “for fun”.
As they say, “less is more!”
If you have a choice to make 10 “thin” videos or 3-5 high-quality ones, then make a choice in favor of quality.
Record these videos with your soul, work to ensure that they have a competent structure, and add titles and effects if necessary.
The principle of working on video quality is the same as when working on an article - it must be thoughtful, structured and meet the user’s expectations as much as possible.
In this case, video views on your channel will be maximum.
Statistics show that quality always trumps quantity, especially when it comes to videos.
Factor 3. Competent selection of SEO keys
Here it is worth mentioning the term “relevance”, that is, the correspondence of the video content to its description.
If you have a video about how to grow tomatoes, and the title says “Putin rocks,” naturally, users will quickly leave your channel and never return there again.
Therefore, wisely select keywords for the titles and descriptions of your videos. This will make it easier for users to find them and become regular viewers of your channel.
Ultimately, your task is to turn your visitors into regular subscribers and viewers of your channel.
To attract additional traffic, YouTube today can be integrated with social media. networks.
Factor 4. Regularity of channel updates
There is a good expression: “The stability of the result is a sign of mastery.”
Our task is not just to “bomb” 10 or 20 videos in the first week after creating your channel and forget about it for a month or two, but to publish your video content regularly!
It will be best if you post high-quality videos in small quantities, for example 2-3 per week, but do it constantly, than to load up the clip of videos at once and abandon your project for a long time.
Regularly posting videos will help you earn more on YouTube, because it means that you care about users.
Video hosting “understands” this.
Ultimately, the viewers of your channel themselves often look at the date of publication of the video and give preference to those projects where there is always fresh content.
Factor 5. Number of video views
This is the most obvious and understandable factor that is easily measured.
Knowing this relationship, you can watch your channel grow exponentially by regularly publishing quality video content.
Factor 6. Monetization methods
Now we will talk directly about making money on YouTube.
Imagine that you already have a visited YouTube channel, for example with 30 videos and a total number of video views of more than 10,000 per day.
Quite a good result.
But, if you didn’t monetize your video content, that is, didn’t take actions that would contribute to making money on your channel, then it’s worthless in terms of commercial efficiency.
You will learn more about what methods of monetizing a YouTube channel exist, and what their features are, below.
Factor 7. Quality of monetization
Let's assume that you have decided exactly how you will make money from your videos, but this is only the first step.
The second step is to properly place monetization tools on your channel.
For example, if you decide that you will make money on YouTube using affiliate programs, then you should think about how exactly you will mention affiliate products so that as many visitors to your channel as possible will buy them.
3. Ways to make money on YouTube - TOP 7 best ideas
Let's move on to the most interesting part.
Now let’s look at how exactly you can make money on your YouTube channel and what you need to do to get the maximum profit with the current traffic.
That is, the same channel can bring in, with the same traffic, both 1000 rubles a month and a thousand rubles a day!
Method 1. Direct advertising in videos
This is a picture at the beginning of a video, a watermark, text or any other mention of the company, product or service of the advertiser who contacted you.
For example, you are running a video blog on traveling around Europe.
Then at the beginning of each video you can place a 3-5 second picture with an advertisement for a travel company that specializes in selling tours to Europe and providing related services.
Method 2. Google Adsense contextual advertising
These are pop-up ads that match the theme of your videos. YouTube itself selects them for your video content.
After that, you receive payment for each click on such an ad.
This method is the simplest and most common.
However, in most cases it is not the most profitable, although the income coming from user transitions through contextual ads is the most stable.
Method 3. Selling your goods or services
For example, in the case of making money from contextual advertising, you receive only a small part of the money, thanks to which the advertiser sells his goods or services, which means it is profitable for him.
By selling your products, you receive all the money that can be earned through advertising.
I think this is clear.
If you look at making money using Youtube from the perspective of an advertiser, then sometimes it is more profitable to place your advertising on other people’s channels (using other people’s videos) than to make money from third-party advertising and receive small money per click.
Method 4. Affiliate programs
Affiliate programs are an excellent source of income for narrowly themed YouTube channels with good traffic.
If for some reason you do not want to sell your own products or services, you can advertise third-party products on your channel that match the topic of your video blog.
To do this, you can also place affiliate links and mentions in your videos and receive commissions from each affiliate sale, which today range from 40% to 100%!
Method 5. Earn money from other people's videos
You can make money on YouTube even without having your own videos. To do this, you will have to find the necessary videos and post them on your channel, and then also monetize them with affiliate programs, contextual or other advertising.
This method has one clear advantage - the speed of content creation, or rather, the absence of the need to record your videos, which significantly saves time.
The disadvantages of this method of earning money are also obvious:
- you don’t develop your “brand”, which means you lose regular visitors;
- you may be sued for copyright infringement;
- at any time YouTube itself can delete your videos and block the channel;
- you will not be able to flexibly regulate the topics of your videos and their content, since you are not their author.
Method 6. Combined earnings - your blog + YouTube channel
This combination allows you to increase the amount of traffic and create additional opportunities for earning money.
How it works?
For example, if you have your own blog on WordPress, then you can direct traffic from it to your YouTube channel and vice versa.
If you have your blogs integrated with social networks, this allows your blogs to exchange visitors.
This way, you create more marketing traps and traffic from the two types of blogs generally converts better into money.
4. How to start making money on YouTube - step-by-step instructions for beginners
These are simple steps that include 3 simple steps.
Step 1. Create your own YouTube channel
To do this, you must register your Google account (if you do not already have one), since YouTube video hosting is owned by Google.
Follow all the usual registration steps and then sign in to your Google account.
Step 2. Design your channel and upload videos to it
I repeat that you should not upload other people’s videos to your YouTube channel, as you will quickly get banned by YouTube and all your work will be ruined.
Now you have your own YouTube channel and it’s time to design it and upload videos that you will then monetize.
Without design, your channel will look like this:
Now click on the channel design button and select the desired picture to make your channel header look more colorful.
You can upload either a simple thematic picture or order a professional design for your channel with a logo and corporate identity from a designer.
This will require some investment of money and time, but the credibility of your channel will be higher. This is evidenced by the statistics of successful video bloggers.
Step 3. Monetize your channel
Now we will talk about monetizing your channel directly using the internal function of the same name on YouTube itself.
To do this, go to the YouTube website, go to the “my channel” section
In the column that opens, click on “channel”, then on “status and functions”, in the window that opens we see the “monetization” function, but do not yet click “apply”.
We return to the “channel” again and select “USA” in the “country” drop-down menu. This will make it easier for us to undergo moderation by YouTube to approve the application for monetization.
Let's go back to “status and functions”. Now an “enable” button should appear opposite the “monetization” item.
Click on it and confirm the inclusion of monetization on your channel, following all further instructions.
If everything went well, then after some time the application you submitted will be moderated and you will receive a confirmation message.
Now you can make money on YouTube.
Now you know how to monetize your channel. I hope that this instruction will help you create a stable income on YouTube.

If you found the article and the ways to make money described in it useful, then like it and share your thoughts on the topic in the comments.
Many people are interested in the question: “How much does a YouTube channel earn?” For some, this is just idle curiosity; for others, it is an opportunity to evaluate the prospects for earning money and an argument when deciding to create their own channel. So, let's get to the point and talk about making money from a YouTube channel.
The best of the best.
Top video bloggers earn tens of thousands of dollars a month. But what are they to us, having achieved maximum popularity? It’s much more interesting how much the average channel earns, the most ordinary and unremarkable. To understand this, let's look at what the channel depends on.
What does the channel's earnings consist of?
- Number of views (to be precise - the number of commercial plays, because those views when the viewer was shown an advertisement. Many have various browser add-ons installed that block ads, some simply close the video if they see an advertisement - such views will not bring money) . Those. They pay you for ad impressions, not for the views themselves.
- Number of clicks on advertisements. Well, everything is clear here: different advertisements have different cost per click. If a user clicks on an ad, you get paid for the click. In some cases, the money will not be counted if the user immediately left the advertised site, closed the browser, etc.
- The user performs certain actions on the page. This requires some clarification first so that you understand what we are talking about. The Google Adwords system (this is a system for placing advertising in Google search and YouTube) has introduced a method of writing off money for advertising placement as payment for targeted actions. For example, a person advertises his . He sets the type of debit for advertising as “payment for targeted actions”. Such actions can be performed, for example, by the user staying on the product page of an online store for more than 30 seconds, adding a product to the cart, going to more than 1 page of the online store’s website, etc.
All this determines the income of our channel on Youtube.
How to calculate the average income of a YouTube channel?
The profitability of a channel depends on many factors: the subject of the channel, the type of advertising shown, the cost of advertising shown on the channel, etc.
1) Method one: elementary formula.
This method cannot boast of accuracy, but as practice shows, it is possible to estimate income.
Estimated channel income = (Total number of views)/1000 x $1
2) Method two: variable.
This method gives us a range of possible channel income: from the minimum to the maximum possible. The truth is usually in the middle.
We go to the website of a special service http://socialblade.com/
At the top right in the search field, enter the name of the channel (without http and without www) and click the Search button.
And now we see the channel statistics
What's interesting here:
- The most important thing is the estimated income for the month and the estimated income for the year. For this channel, we see that the monthly income is at least $567, more likely $2000-2500. And per year - about 25-30 thousand dollars. You will convert it into rubles yourself.
- The overall rank of a channel is something like the service’s own rating; it only serves to amuse the sense of self-importance of top bloggers.
- Number of views over the last 30 days and change in the number of subscribers.
And below you can also see statistics by day:
If on some days you see zero income, it’s just that there was a service failure that day and the statistics were not calculated.
Here is a service, use it to assess the profitability of the channel.
And if you still read to the end of the article, then there is another important answer to the question..
How much can I earn from my Youtube channel?
First, I note that your articles are very easy and understandable. I'm glad there is such a site. Thank you.
I have a logical question:
Do views for one video depend on the number of channel subscribers? If not, then it turns out that you can launch a video into the channel without violating copyrights from the series “the best selection of road accidents 2014”, which we rip from other videos, and our video will one day gain 1 million views and bring in $1000. And logically it will continue to bring. And then modestly rename it 2015 and continue to collect views. Or I'm wrong?
Thanks for the article, Denis. For a long time it seemed to me that my media network was not paying me extra))) According to the first formula, I should have an income of $35 - $40 per month. socialblade.com shows $9 - $142 per month. But in fact, the maximum I received per month was $7.44. True, my audience is mainly Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan. This certainly has an impact. But not as much? What could be the secret? Is the media network really taking most of the profits? Tell me, Denis, can this happen?
