  2. How to make money? There are a ton of web pages devoted to that subject - web sites you could look up on your own. Here's one for YouTube:

    How to make money? Easy.

    Develop & show something that enough people will find attractive/informative/intriguing/engaging/uplifting and they will come to you, and then so will advertisers.

  4. I've never attempted to monetize my channel because it has absolutely no theme and contains all sorts of client stuff mixed in with my own things.

    However, if I wanted to make money I now know, based on the number of views I get for various videos, what I would do to get lots of traffic. In one word:

    Tutorials!

    I normally get views in the hundreds, but my tutorials all get views in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. That's still not a lot, but if I marketed the channel, and if I chose the tutorials so they covered really popular things, I'm sure I could get into the millions of views which is where your channel starts to get interesting.

  6. 'Placing a video on youtube' is not suddenly going to make you money.

    You need an audience who return day in and day out to watch your continuous content.

    That doesn't happen overnight.

    My little channel had been running for a year and just qualified for monetize status, and I raked in $1.40c in the week before they changed the requirements for channels to get click bait dollars. 3 years later I have a dedicated 473 subscribers. I never did get sent the $1.40c

    Now the requirements are at least 1000 subscribers and many thousands of watch hours, you don't get that with 'a video on you tube' unless it happened to go viral for some unique reason, like a world event, or someone famous doing something outrageous.

    Not forgetting you have to be a 'copyright squeaky clean' channel too....

    There is a real fortune to be made, but you won't be making that any time soon, unless you are making amazing cakes every day or have a very clever pet ...........or some other genius idea that will bring people back day after day after day.

    As mentioned, tutorials can attract a very large audience, but what on? baking? shaving your brazilian? gaming? motor repairs? computer tips? ... so many to choose from, and probably already out there with a loyal audience.....


    Of course the other big deal is getting your audience in the first place, never mind having them come back day in and day out, they won't keep returning because you have 'one good video' online to watch. You need a loyal audience to remain coming back, day in, day out.

    You're highly unlikely to suddenly get 1000 subscribers or 40,000 hits from one video.

    One channel of mine has a quarter of a million views in 3 years, one video on my time lapse channel has 28K views (and it's not even a time lapse) but no sign of $ click for me anytime soon.

    'Big money' making videos get those sort of hits in half an hour, not a couple of years.

    You could have a video with all the 'bells and whistles' of motion graphics, snappy edits and great music, but ruin it with a dreadful voice over and a subject that is already raking in the dollar clicks for someone else.

    You could have a very simple video with basic edits, no snazzy tunes and great content and strike gold. It's about the content and if it will engage an audience or not, day after day after day after day......

    I will make a baking video today, I will be happy if it gets half a dozen views.... I enjoy the process more than the outcome and use my channel for sharing content across FB groups


    Good Luck to you, remember me when you strike gold, and direct all of your viewers to my baking video!

    It used to be easy to get revenue from you tube but these days, given the requirements to qualify for monetize, unless you are doing something unique, it could take you many months of hard work to build up an audience and 'make money'

    It can take you tube a long long time, once you meet the requirements, to even decide if they're going to allow you to monetize your channel. That bit is done by humans, looking at your content to see if it really does have any value to thier advertisers.

    It seems to me the quickest way to make money online these days is saucy photos, judging by the stories about people during lock down making thousands of bucks a week.... I'll stick to my buns, the baked variety..... and cine film....

    It's not that easy to make money with youtube even after you get the qualification which could take years, I've seen members complaints about youtube's policy and fake copyright claims and so on. Unless you have contents that attracts thousands of people in a matter of hours, a day job is the best option.

  8. Just to add one more piece of experience: "viral" videos are not the way to make money.

    I had one video that went viral. It was a timelapse of one of our California wildfires:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_h67zCfY9E

    From a standing start, I got 14,000 views in 24 hours. It looked like, if viewership continued to build exponentially, that I was going to get to a million views in a month or less.

    I was contacted by three separate firms wanting to help me monetize my hot video. I turned down all of the offers.

    But here's the point: if you look at the video, it now has 15,000 views. Yes, only 1,000 more views in the next four years.

    Viral also means fleeting.

    To make money, you need content that attracts viewers, holds them, and gets new viewers tuning in.

    You most likely have a copyright for the audio track therefore you can't monetize it. Could you?

    Now I bet that really was a 'hot' video


    But seriously, there is this urban myth that create a ytube channel and watch the money flow in.


    While some appear to make it, the majority just wonder why they do not.
