Now what? How to earn money from YouTube? What are the basic rules? What gives us more dollars and what can take us down?
Well, rules are simple on the hand of YouTube but it is a quite difficult task for us to bring some content that can make us money and can also entertain our audience. Well, the very basic two rules published by YouTube to get your channel monetized are:
- A minimum of 1000 subscribers on your channel.
- A minimum of 4000 hours of views from your channel.
Once you fulfill these two conditions, you can register your channel for monetization. On YouTube, you can earn money in several different ways. You can earn from ads on your channel and also by promoting some products in your video. You can do affiliate marketing in the description of the video.
On YouTube, there is no limitation regarding the niche of the video you are going to upload. You can upload a poem, a stand-up comedy, a funny clip, your song, an educational lecture. Even you can make one video about “how to make money on YouTube?”.
If you are working on YouTube videos, remember these points.
- YouTube doesn’t pay for views. It pays for the number of clicks and views on the ads on your video.
- You must have the copyright of the video you upload.
- A number of subscribers do not affect your earning by YouTube. But more subscribers bring more views and more clicks on the ads. So this way, more subscribers help to earn more but they don’t increase your pay.
- YouTube has two features. One is “cost per click” and the other is “cost per view”. In cost per click, the advertiser pays for the number of clicks, not the number of times the ad has been viewed. And in the other case, they pay if the ad is seen for 30 seconds or more no matter if they click on it or not, they got to pay the same.
With all this knowledge, you are ready to go ahead with the YouTube videos. So go and explore the technical world.
