My entire youtube accout got full monetize activation!!!

[blackmonsters]

I have several youtube accounts but one of them got a lot of views and
now it is set that anytime I upload a video I can immediately submit the video
for monetization.

Before this I would have to wait until I got an "invite to monetize" which made
me not care too much about it since I needed to have a "hit" video or nothing.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo........

Should I quit adult and spend all my time making videos for youtube?

Or is this just chump change and I shouldn't waste my time?

I don't really make good videos, I just got lucky on a couple of them.
But if I made 1000 vids then maybe that adds up????

Maybe I can sell the account also, I don't see any rules against it.
What is it worth?

[seeandsee]

how much you make on that?!? CPC or what?

[blackmonsters]

Add to above post :

I don't know how much money it pays even though I have monetized videos already,
because the videos use "audio swap" which means the money goes to the people
who made the music and not me.

Do you have youtube account with monetization?

Facts please.

[JamesGw]

I've heard of people doing very well with Adsense on Youtube. I don't know what the difference between that and monetization is. Don't spend enough time on YT to know/care.

I'm sure people who get millions of views make ok, but what about an average
account?

I'm not going to make any videos that get a million views, my videos get 500-1000 views
except for a couple that blew up, but only one of those has 100k+ views.

All my youtube accounts got deleted... I stopped bothering eventually... But congrats on your 'monitization' thingy

Quit making videos about poo and you'd still have your accounts.

[marketsmart]

i got the invite too..

i dont have any youtube videos, but i am a fairly large adsense affiliate...

i am going to play around with some videos and see what happens..

I have an account like that. To be honest, unless you are planning on uploading videos every day and go for a huge subscriber list, it's just something to supplement your current income. It's adsense attached to video. Some people kick ass with adsense but most don't, this is the same thing.

You'll know once you're getting big when you get an actual "partner" account, which is a step above what you just got. Right now you just can monetize your videos. A full partner account is where you can add your own background designs with links and banners out to other sites. You've seen how some big accounts have a custom header on top with links to their facebook or twitter accounts? That is one of the things you can do with a partner account. You usually don't get this until you can 1000+ subscribers and are regularly uploading.

Dollar amounts??????

What is "supplemental" to you might be bank for me!

There are some local guys that are somewhat minor youtube celebs in Canada. I don't know firsthand what they make but from what I hear it is not enough to live off of by itself. (less than 50,000 a year) And these guys put out a video almost every day.

They will occassionaly put out a video that does incredible hits, but most of them are less than 10000 views. See below for one of their more famous ones:

If you have 200k videos on youtube and you are not making any money then
you must have some really fucked up ads.

I mean, you would only have to get $1 per vid per year to make $200k per year.

Fuck!!! I'd take 10 cents a vid on that and be happy with $20k

you have to take in mind that hes probably pumping out softcore vids to push his site which would never get monetized...

The really horrible part is that Ray guy gets that drunk then just hops in his car and drives home.

Thankfully I believe he is in jail right now. Supposedly he is also a kiddy diddler, or so I've heard.

My top account has just under 15 million views, but I've never signed up to any those "Monetize your videos" schemes. I always assumed it would be likely that some moderator would turn up and decide to ban the account

I've made less than $1000 over the course of a few months (a handful of videos - not a ton of them). The amount wasn't enough for me to continue putting time into it when that same time could be used to make much more in adult.

Don't get me wrong, if you want to do it full time you probably could if you put in a ton of work, but you'd be uploading new videos literally every day. If you look at some of the big boys on there, they are loading new videos all the time, and a lot of them are well put together.

I have no idea what you're putting on there so it's possible you could be a huge success, but the time put in vs reward didn't make sense for me to continue. One thing you will see is personality channels (you talking about shit) seem to do much, much better than if you were just loading videos about something, unless you have something controversial or unique.

That's a boat load of views. You're in a position to actually do well if you monetize your channel.

15 million views fully monetized is roughly 30-50k

what is your content? girls?

I have a number of accounts with over 5 million views as well, but I believe most of the views came back in 2007 and 2008

I used to upload tv clips that were slightly sexy, girls, I'm pretty sure I don't get that many daily views now, I moved away from YouTube some time back as I didn't think it was worthwhile

I always figured I couldn't monetize tv clips

15 million views on "tit and ass" videos isn't worth shit since you can't get any ads.

I'm talking about what people with ads are making.

It used to be worthwhile once upon a time, I was a newbie and I could make my new site Alexa 25,000 for the day and see loads of sales come in, but then YouTube changed their system and it didn't work anymore.

Like you say, it probably has little value these days, unless someone wanted one of the accounts for all of the subscribers

[$5 submissions]

It depends on the CPC. I would imagine debt consolidation vids would pull down massive cheddar but the viewing volume is probably going to be very slim

personally i dont find him funny... I can never get through one whole video of him and his overwhelming yelling.

But yes I am taking my stab at the commentator word though that specific youtube channel isnt my focus nor will it get monetized due to copyright music.

It's good to hear others having the same thoughts on that

Like you say, it's a weak traffic source, at least these days it is, if I got greedy I expect that would be the end of it

Yeah, there's no point in submitting vids that are going to get taken down, and unless you
have all rights to everything in the vid it gets canned.

That's the reason I did "audio swap", it kept the video up even though somebody
else makes the money.

Some of them would stick around for years, whereas others got hoovered up rather sharpish

I might try out the "audio swap" at some point, as an experiment

Well, I'll take $1000 if all I have to do is talk on some videos.

Looks good to me!

It's all about what you have going on, you got no time, I got too much time!

I have no idea what you or DWB have going but based on the info you posted, you are not going to make anywhere near 1k on your videos. Maybe over a year or so but that's about it. I wouldn't even consider dropping your other income sources until you can pull a few times that each month.

You want numbers? I'll give you some.

I have a few YouTube channels in various partner levels. BTW, there are 3 partner levels... The "monetization" level you are speaking of is the 2nd level. Here are the basic numbers for one of my channels that is on that same level and currently has 103 vids:

September 1st - September 15th, 2011
14,574 Impressions
85 Clicks
$31.71 In my pocket

This is 100% exclusive content with no audio swaps.

[Chris]

pretty much anyone who gets videos with over 1k views can get what you got

that is just like doing their ad's on your site

the real money comes when you get partner acct

[AaronM]

If I worked at that channel full time, I could increase the traffic and bump the profit but again, I would not shut down any other source of income and count on this alone until I reached a significant level. At this point, that channel is obviously chump change and not going to cover much more than a dinner once a month at a mediocre restaurant.

I always wondered about that, so part of the puzzle is that you have to shoot video that is 100% your own and not use any music or anything in it that might belong to someone else, in other words to have any even minimal success you have to be the 100% producer of what you put on there

I notice so many people spend lots of time ripping off other people's videos, or putting a bunch of fail clips together, etc. and try to get a lot of views, but I guess that is all a waste of time because they can't monetize somebody else's content I figure

[AaronM]

Kinda true but it's not like getting full partnered is any sort of guarantee.

It takes more than a full partner account to make "real money" however you will not make any decent money until you reach that partner level.

Depends on if they have the rights to use the content or not. When you monetize the video, it asks you to describe the ownership of the content. If you use somebody elses music and can provide proof that you have a license for that music, then that's OK.

Example:

EpicMealTime uses a music package that they properly licensed so they are allowed to have it in their videos and monetize those videos.

Well, that actually looks like a decent ratio and money for that number of views.

Just have to get a ton of views for sure.

Isn't that the key to any online business?


BTW, I'm up another penny since I posted those numbers.
