youtube monetization

[doggone]

Does anyone here actually make anything worthwhile from this?
How do they pay you?

I have several channels and some have the usual inexplicable very popular videos - I monetized that channel only last month and have now earned $0.01
Wasn't expecting much but did think it would be *a bit* more

Daft thing is the best one has now passed 500,000 views but I never thought to do it until recently and it gets less now (it's a clip with a tractor the know-it-all Americans keep arguing about!)

I monetized mine a while back just out of interest to see how it worked and what you got, my adsense account says the balance is £1.00 yet my videos only have a few hundred views each.
I think I need £60 before I get a payment

The youtube analyse page seems very random it says some videos with a few hundred views have made $0.01 yet another one with only 30 views has made $0.10

My aim is to make 5 vlogging videos a day and promote them all on this forum as it is very popular and I will become rich.

Adsense / Youtube Partners is very low paying if you have minimal views. That being said, I'm surprised that a video with 500,000 views has made you that little.

I have a couple of monetised sites running Adsense and one of them is earning £10 a week with about 300 views per week.

Depends what the RPM (Return Per Mille/1000) is on the ads, depending what you get paid for the views per 1000. You will earn the most for clicks though. I've seen £1.81 for 1 click on a particular ad.

For YouTube though, here's the best stats site you will find on it: https://www.socialblade.com

He's a clever bastard him, originally making videos in his home country of Sweden and gaining top ranking because nobody was really doing it, then moving to the US and taking advantage of his high rankings from Sweden but changing location to US, basically gaming the ranking system to promote his videos to the spot light page. Think he lives in the UK now, which again, has propelled his rankings.

Fucked up how much money is in it, isn't it? I don't think most people understand how much you can make if you start getting 1 million views per video alone.

That explains why you income is crap then doggone, you missed out on a few quid there

[Jayy]

Here's an example of a lower end one but still good earnings.

One of those guys who goes around London taking videos of the super cars.

Between £1.5k and £12k a month...not bad for doing something you love doing anyway?

That's why there's so many of those pranksters on YouTube too but I wouldn't be fooled in to thinking any of it is easy going.

And all he does is talk over video games?! The fuck!

[Al]

I don't get his videos either, he's quite annoying and his girlfriend even more so but he got 385 million views in the last 30 days which is a lot of people to advertise too.
I bet even if he wore a particular brand of t-shirt there would be a spike in sales.

You also have the option whether to monetise a video or not. BVG might not have most of his monetised.

Not only do you make a few quid from the views, clicks are a lot more and then any endorsements you have from companies, affiliate links, etc.

Not to be sniffed at making another couple grand a month on top.

My next job: YouTube celebrity! Right, what the hell can I do that'll get millions of views and who'll edit my videos to make them watchable?

[Ste]

[Al]

The trouble is without subscribers there will be 100's of other videos higher up the search ranking then yours so you won't get the views.
It's weird how certain videos are pretty average yet get loads of views though, there is one of a guy backing a BMW S1000RR out of his drive and it's got over a million views, no editing or talking of anything and other with riding/nice shots/editing ect with less then a few hundred views of the same bike.

There's also external sources to consider with them videos though. The source of all the views may be the result of a high traffic website that featured the video, viral video site, etc.

It doesn't all come from YouTube directly.

For instance, you could upload a video of you face planting on a BMX, then post it on break.com and they feature it, thus driving 10's of thousands of views, then other sites pick it up, and so on.
