Alright, welcome back. In this episode, I'm going to
be answering a question from Michael
Keyfits. He asks "How much does YouTube
pay out for every view I get?" And so, I'm
assuming Michael that YouTube is new.
Yeah making a living on YouTube is new.
And just for those of you haven't seen
any of my videos before, I make my living
on YouTube. I actually manage, I currently
manage this number changes. But it's 9
daily YouTube channels. The sun is nice and warm. I
might need to take off my jacket. It was
colder there. So, I currently manage 9
daily YouTube channels. One of which
produces a seven-figure income for one
of my clients. Six-figure income for me.
And I know how to make money on YouTube.
But you don't make money from YouTube
for views. You can get millions of views
on a YouTube video and not make a dime
from it. Now, you probably will but where
that revenue comes from is advertising.
So, YouTube will play commercials before
or after sometimes even in the middle of
your video. And people pay YouTube to put
those commercials there. Those companies
that are advertising. They share that
revenue with the creator of the content.
So, if you're watching a YouTube video
and right before it there's a commercial,
then the person who paid that commercial
sends money to YouTube and part of that
money goes to YouTube and part of that
money 55% it goes to the creator of that
YouTube video. There's a speedboat coming
,so I want to get out of his way. Well, I'm
moving into his way but then I want to
cross that and then get out of this way.
To make thousands of dollars through
this advertising, it's called Adsense, you
need to get millions of views. So, if
you're only getting thousands of views,
you're not making any money.
Now, YouTube also has a requirement to
become a YouTube partner which means
that YouTube will share this revenue
with
you. You have to have a thousand subscribers
to begin with. So, you've got to have a
thousand subscribers and a certain
number of watch time. It's like 100,000
minutes of watch time, something like
that. It's both those requirements are
fairly easy. I mean your first thousand
subscribers are the hardest but even if
you were able to monetize and partner
with YouTube at that time, for getting
your first hundred thousand views, it's
only going to amount to a few hundred
dollars. I don't know. Depends on your
channel. Anyway, what do you think of this
view? It varies from channel to channel.
How much money you're going to make from
Adsense advertising. One channel can be
getting way more revenue than another
channel. And have the same amount of
views. So, what determines that? Well,
YouTube's algorithm works really hard to
make advertising beneficial for its
advertisers, so that they'll keep paying
money. And try and match it with the
appropriate videos. So, if you create
content that is extra advertiser
friendly. Or extra beneficial for
advertisers, then YouTube will match more
and more of those ads with your videos.
Now, advertisers are willing to pay more
money in certain regions. So, if your
videos are being seen by an audience in
the USA or Australia, those countries
have a higher AD rate versus if your
videos are being seen in India, you might
get a lot of views there but the amount
of advertising revenue that gets paid in
for that is a lot less. So, a lot of times
people are asking this question because
they're like I see all these people
making money on YouTube. I want to do it
but how do I, how much money to get paid
per view? You don't get paid for per view,
you get paid at a fraction of a fraction
of a penny for every ad that gets shown.
And that's not that YouTube is being
greedy and they're keeping all this
money and only giving you a fraction of
the penny. They're actually giving you
55% because
you're the creator of the content. And
they hooked up the advertisers. So they
get the other 45%.
I'm just seeing some activity in the
water, trying to figure out what it is. I
think it's the leftover wakes from that
boat just... Anyway, where was I? The one
thing that I talk about on a lot of my
videos is how to make money outside of
Adsense. And how do you do that? There's a
whole bunch of ways just like there's a
whole bunch of different types of
businesses that you can create. It's a
matter of creating value, selling a
product or a service or an idea. And
having people pay you for that and then
YouTube, YouTube is awesome at generating
traffic. YouTube is completely replaced
searching an optimization on websites, in
my opinion. So, if you have a business, you
used to create a website, you can still
create a website but use to really
focus on it and try and get those pages
to rank on the front page of Google. Well
now, you can do it so much easier and get
way more traffic by creating YouTube
videos and then sending people from
those YouTube videos to your sales pages
or something like that. It's so much
easier to get traffic that way. So, but
that's a topic for another video. If you
really want to make a lot of money on
Adsense through YouTube then what can
you do? Well you've got to create videos
that people want to watch. For the most
part I create how to style videos just
like this. I'm giving you a how-to. The
channel that I work on with Kris Krohn
that's generating 7 figures. He's a
real estate investing expert and so, we
make videos teaching people how to
invest in real estate. Kris really has
an expertise in that, so we've made
hundreds and hundreds of episodes
teaching people how to invest in real
estate. It's a niche audience but we've
got a global audience. So, we've actually
accumulated about 200,000
subscribers over the last year and a
half. And it generates 6 figures in
Adsense revenue and 7 figures from
the lead generation and the product
sells that Chris does. So, just to give
you a summary, I said this rule before.
But I want you to kind of keep it as a
rule of thumb because it's so easy to
remember. To make thousands of dollars,
you need to get millions
of views.
