Earn Money on YouTube

You’ve probably heard stories about regular people earning money on YouTube and thought, “Hey, I can do this too!”. While earning thousands of dollars probably isn’t realistic, you can start earning money quickly, especially if you have a strong subscriber base. Follow this guide to get your videos monetized and start earning revenue off of those YouTube ads.


1-Set up and build your YouTube channel. Your channel is your personal presence on YouTube. Each YouTube account has one channel attached to it. A YouTube account is the same as a Google account, and creating a YouTube account will grant you access to other Google products, such as Gmail and Drive.

• Create your account or use your existing one. Add keywords to help people find your channel. You can add keywords by navigating to the Advanced section of your Channel Settings. Make sure that your keywords are relevant to your content.
• Your user name can also work for or against you. If it’s short, easy to remember, and original, people will be more apt to remember you. However if you are using an existing account, you can always change your username by editing it on your Google+ account.

2-Add content. Try to upload content that is high quality, and isn't super long. (This option can vary depending on what type of content you decide to upload) Also try to upload regularly and stay consistent with your uploads.

• Even if your content isn't great at first, keep at it. Practice makes perfect. Try to make each video better than the last. You will often learn as you go.
• Improve your content by either using a better camera or trying better editing software or techniques. Also try to improve the way things are filmed. Use a tripod, have a friend help you or light your scenes better. It all helps for a better end product which in turn helps you get a better audience.
• By uploading regularly you can help hold an audience. People are more likely to subscribe if you add content on regular schedule, and maintain that schedule as much as possible.
• Make sure to tag your videos with key words that describe the content, as well as an eye-catching description. These will help drive people to your video from YouTube searches.

3-Gain an audience. Building an audience is key to increasing your monetization. You need people to watch your ads in order to make any money off of them. There is no one secret to getting more subscribers, just make the best content that you can and they will come to you.

• Keep uploading content and try to get people hooked. Send your video out on Twitter and Facebook. Share it with people. Distribute it elsewhere on the internet. Subscribers are essential to becoming a partner.
• Interact with your viewers by responding to comments and making occasional videos directly related to viewer comments and questions. Connecting with your community will bring more members into that community.

4-Monetize your videos. In order to start earning money on your videos, you’ll need to enable monetization. This means you are allowing YouTube to place ads in your video. This also means that you acknowledge that there is no copyrighted material in your video.

• Go to www.youtube.com and click "My Channel" on the webpage.
• Click the link called "Video Manager" on the top bar.
• Click channel and Enable on monetization.

Get at least ten thousand total views to start earning money.

• You can monetize a video as it uploads by clicking the Monetization tab and checking the “Monetize with Ads” box.
• To monetize a video after it has been uploaded, open your Video Manager and click the “$” sign next to the video that you want to monetize. Check the “Monetize with Ads” box.

Set up Google AdSense. You can set up Google AdSense for free at the AdSense website. Click the Sign Up Now button to begin creating your account. You must be 18 years or older to create your own account. If you are younger than that, you will need an adult to help you.

• You need either PayPal or a bank account and a valid mailing address as well as other information so AdSense can verify who you are and who to send the money to. You only gain money per ad click and a smaller amount per view but it adds up over time. This is why having an audience is key.

Check your analytics. Once you have some videos online, monetized, and being viewed, you can check out the analytics on them to see how they are performing. Click the Analytics option in your Channel menu. Here you can view estimated earnings, ad performance, video views, demographics and more.

• Use these tools to see how your content is resonating with your audience. You can change your content or your marketing if you’re finding that you aren’t attracting the users that you want to.

I have a Youtube channel now and it is very interesting to see where the audience comes from and what their gender is. I have been paid by Youtube two times now and it is really addicting. Seeing that Google paid you is intoxicating or something and makes you want to add more content. Lately it seems my channel been moving extra slow. I am trying to figure out what I can make my future videos about because I ran out of ideas.

 

Well first off I would like to state that youtube is one legit site on the internet where you can make money but I also give you this , its not gonna be easy because every day millions of videos are uploaded onto youtube and the chances of your video showing up at the top of search results is very low unless you are a popular youtuber with over a million subscribers. but still if you come out with videos creative enough to attract more viewers ,then surely you can make some good money on youtube.

 

It's really interesting that you can earn money from Youtube. I like to try this but I think it's hard because you need lots of viewers and subscribers before you can make money. I think the videos that you will upload to your channel must be interesting in content, out of this world videos or trending so that people can notice your video and subscribe to it. I am not much of a vlogger but I'll think of something that people can be interested in and try that youtube thing.

 

I believe that the hardest part of making money on YouTube is getting videos to upload to your channel.

I had in the past created a channel on that site but, I didn't find it easy to create videos to populate my channel. This affected the number of views I got and consequently I earned no cash.

Meanwhile, I've done more research on this youtube things and discovered easier ways to go about it. And I'm already building a new channel.
