hey what's up you guys this is Sam Kwak here one of the Kwak Brothers and in this
video I'm gonna show you exactly how much money YouTube paid us for three
million views all right guys so if you're curious about how much YouTube
paid us last year for three million views in one of our videos in this video
I'm going to break everything down and also talk about how YouTube exactly pays
its creators now before we get to the main stuff be sure to click like on the
video and subscribe to our YouTube channel well this video is gonna explain
why these animals are in desperate situations they're desperate for your
help so please help us for every like that this video gets you are sending
your love to these precious animals who just wants your love you can upgrade
your donation to subscribing to the quack brothers YouTube channel your
subscription will support these animals for an entire month
but in all seriousness guys help us out with our YouTube algorithm because
clicking like on this video will help us and help our YouTube channel overall
okay so how does YouTube pay its creators well there's a lot of
misconception out there that YouTube pays its creators by subscribers which
is actually not true now having lots of subscribers do help
and the main way that YouTube pays its creators is simply views as well as ads
there are two main ways that youtubers get paid from YouTube and that is CPC
which is cost per click and CPM which is how much money YouTube pays for every
thousand views that a youtuber it gets to get paid by YouTube you do need to
get qualified to be in the YouTube Partner Program now to be eligible for
the program you do have to have thousand subscribers and four thousand hours of
viewing time on all of your videos combined
now this eligibility requirement may change depending on YouTube policies and
what they do next year but for right now at the time of the recording in order to
qualify to get paid by YouTube you need at least thousand subscribers and four
thousand hours of total view time now after you achieve that thousand
subscribers and four thousand dollars a few time YouTube is gonna review your
channel to make sure that what you talk about and the videos that you make are
appropriate and also fit inside the YouTube policy so you can't just make
videos about you know copyright violation right you can't make videos
that are inappropriate YouTube won't let you qualify for that so you did need to
qualify and be eligible to be part of the YouTube Partner Program alright
first let's talk about CPM which is the amount of dollars that YouTube pay for
every thousand views so for our channel we average about 30 dollars and 84 cents
for every thousand views that we get in our YouTube videos and what happens is
40% of that YouTube get to keep as 60% we get to keep that so every 30 dollars
in 84 cents 40% goes to YouTube and 60% goes to our channel and usually the
dollar amount is determined by what topic your YouTube channel is all about
so if you talk about finance and real estate typically the CPM is gonna be a
lot higher and between 20 to 40 dollar range if you
talk about makeup tutorials or video games it's gonna be anywhere between one
to five dollars so it is significantly lower mainly because there's a lot of
competition in that space because pretty much everyone gets into YouTube for
makeup tutorials and video game plays that's why YouTube pays a little less
for those types of videos and there are less people talking about finances
therefore YouTube pays a bit more for those types of videos so for us to make
more money out of our YouTube channel we have to get more views not necessarily
subscribers now subscribers do help because of often times when your
subscribe to your YouTube channel YouTube will then recommend our videos
to you whenever you jump on YouTube so if you go to youtube.com now and if
you're subscribed to our channel a lot of times you'll see our videos in the
front page because you're subscribed to our channel and that stimulates more
viewership to our video so here's another reminder going click like on
this video turn that like button to blue and do help us out by subscribing to our
YouTube channel the next is cost per click CPC and this is pretty simple
concept whenever you guys click on any of the ads or go to the advertisers page
we get paid for the click so this number it varies and it depends on how much the
advertisers are willing to pay it can range anywhere between from you know
$0.50 per click all the way to $10 per click depending on how much the
advertisers are paying so before you watch this video and after you watch
this video you may see an ad that may play and if you click on the ad that's
when we get paid as well now another way that we get paid is through YouTube
premium subscription so if you're paying for YouTube premium every view that we
get if you have YouTube premium it also adds to the dollar amounts that we get
paid for our YouTube channel now there are other ways to make money outside of
YouTube paying us and that is through affiliate relationship sponsorships and
other services that we may sell so some of you guys may already know this and
you are part of our coaching programs we have real estate coaching programs and
courses on personal finance this is also another way for us to
generate revenue and quite frankly guys this is where we make most of our money
in terms of courses and connecting everything with our YouTube and of
course we make money on our real estate and development and fixing flipping
homes and that's where our real revenue is but a lot of the revenue that we
generate from YouTube stems through our course and program sales so that's where
we make most of our money in terms of bridging the gap between YouTube and
some of the other services that we offer another way we that we make money is
through affiliate relationship and what that basically means is that by
promoting other companies services or products we get paid in our channel and
a great example is drop stream now perhaps you is a phenomenal real estate
investing software that allows you to find real estate deals off market deals
and also allows you to do skip tracing if you're looking for the owner of a
given property that you're looking at so my viewers right now you can sign up for
seven days of free trial of prop stream the link is down below and you guys can
go and sign up do you see what I did there yeah so with that being said a
feeling relationship is another great way to earn money through YouTube the
classic example is I know several makeup tutorial videos and youtubers that get
paid by makeup company and cosmetic companies to show off their products and
services in the video so that's one of the main ways that youtubers get paid
outside of just getting paid through ads and views all right so it's time to
unveil exactly how much we got paid from YouTube for 3 million views and before I
go and unveil the number go and comment down below how much money do you think
we got paid for 3 million views you can pause the video go ahead and comment
down below what the amount you think it is so the actual amount we've earned is
forty one thousand two hundred seventy five dollars and eighty nine cents
now the time span of which we've earned this money is June 18 2008 een through
December 31st 2019 now I'm gonna go and throw up a screen shot just as a proof
to show you exactly how much we got paid and you can tell it's a little bit over
three million views and I couldn't get it down to exactly the number but that's
how much peyt and some of you might be thinking
wow that's someone's eerily salary for three million views and you're right
YouTube is very generous with their creators and how much they pay for
videos and let me tell you this right now I am forever grateful for your
viewership your subscribers and we appreciate your love and support for our
YouTube channel we quite frankly couldn't have made it without you guys
watching our videos and commenting and liking and engaging with our videos now
I really hope that I don't just come off as showing off or telling you how much
money we make but what I really want to encourage you to do is start your own
YouTube channel and it doesn't matter how good your camera quality is or how
good you are initially because let me share a video with you of my first ever
youtube video right now so soaking in your job interview instead you're gonna
start making you're gonna start or an investment or business and actually have
a separate video on how to start and grow businesses successful your 20s it's
it's in my channel so do check it out and check out the video so business or
an investment a little bit different business you have a lot of work to do
really drives my passion investment is about making a smart decision of smart
choices I have a separate video on my personal formula in making investments
count so and as you can see I was very awkward and I didn't know how to make
good videos but as time goes you get better and better and better you get
better with talking to the camera and you just become better overall so it's a
process of learning in a process of doing and perfecting but it's a
phenomenal way to share your journey your life and your expertise in a given
topic so doesn't have to be about finance it doesn't have to be about
makeup tutorials maybe you want to make a video about your cat or your dog or
your car I know a person who enjoys making video of making their granite
countertop shiny and this gentleman's got five hundred thousand subscribers so
just because you have a weird hobby or you think no one's gonna watch it simply
not true if you enjoy doing something film it documents
it and show it and share it with the rest of the world now for us we really
took off when we started sharing our HELOC strategy videos and one thing that
I realized is when you're just getting started
talk about something very specific in topic rather than talk about general
ideas and general strategy talk about something very very specific and own
that niche that topic for YouTube so I really hope that this video encourages
you to start your oh you tube channel and talk about the things you love your
hobbies your activities for me I love talking about real estate and personal
finance landlording and property management and this is why I love making
videos for you guys alright guys so this video is really fun for me to make
because I got to talk about something other than real estate and paying down
your debt and I hope that this gave you a transparent look on our YouTube
business and as always go and hit the like button on this video and subscribe
