Let’s take a look at some general knowledge.

  1. You don’t earn money on the number of views or number of likes or dislikes; you make money on the advertisements you get on each video. But eventually, several views will increase the probability of an ad being shown on your video.
  2.  You can’t earn money before hitting the 10K views mark on your channel. So, even if your views are increasing, ads won’t be shown on your channel and revenue won’t be generated before crossing the milestone.
  3. You have to create an Adsense account and need to approve it by the Google Adsense team, which usually takes from a few days to 1 month. They ask a lot of information apart from the general sign up process such as linking a bank account. You have to pass the minimum threshold amount of USD 100 (or more set by you) in Adsense balance before you can withdraw money.
  4. The amount of money paid by each advertiser and each advertisement of a particular advertiser for an ad click varies vastly and can’t be calculated simply by math. However, you can extrapolate and get an overview of the amount of money you will be earning based on the number of views on a particular video.
  5. You need to create videos of a particular genre only rather than creating any random videos. In this way, you will increase your subscribers and your revenue, ultimately.
  6. The amount of revenue generated also varies on devices and platforms, traffic sources, geography and playback locations from which your video was accessed.
  7. You can’t upload plagiarised videos, copyrighted content or community guidelines violated videos. In short, your content should be original and free of sensitive material.

The revenue generated per month through YouTube is transferred to your Adsense account on the 21st of every month. After reaching the minimum threshold of 100$, Google Adsense automatically transfers money into your bank account linked by you. You can also connect your Adsense account to your website or blog page, but it is complicated to get approved. With YouTube, you can quickly get your account approved within a day or two after the milestone of 10K views is crossed. After crossing the 100 subscriber mark, you can create your custom URL.

Earning money from YouTube is both challenging as well as rewarding. Just make sure to give your best in every video so that the quality is not compromised. I am sure your patience will pay off, and you will be rewarded sweetly.
