Not very many marketers are profiting from the YouTube platform. Either they aren’t using the right strategies to get more views and improve their ranking, or they are simply not monetizing their video content and claiming the ad revenue generated from it.
Create an account on YouTube/Google AdSense
YouTube/AdSense is a great way to monetize your videos and earn money by placing ads. It’s easy to get started with YouTube/AdSense and it takes just a few minutes. To sign up for YouTube or Google AdSense, follow these steps:
- Create an account at: https://www.google.com/settings/adsense
- Click on “Create Account” and then enter your email address and password. If you already have a Google account, you can use that instead of creating another one.
- Go back to the main page and click on “Sign up now.” This will take you through the process of creating your account with YouTube or Google AdSense.
Enable monetization
If you want to earn money from your videos, you’ll need to enable monetization on your channel. To do this, click your account icon in the top right corner of your account and select Creator Studio. Scroll down to Monetization and click Edit next to the line labeled “Monetize my videos.” Select the checkbox for Monetize my videos (requires Google Account).
Set up payment information
Next, you’ll need to set up a payment method on YouTube so that you can be paid for your ad revenue. Click the link under “Payment setting” that says “Set or change payment method.” This will open a new page where you can add or edit payment methods in order to be paid directly through YouTube or via PayPal.
Waiting time to begin earning
According to Google, it takes about two weeks for the money to show up in your account. It can take even longer if your videos have been flagged as inappropriate or if you’re monetizing a video that’s not brand safe.
Once you’ve set up the revenue sharing features with YouTube, you’ll be able to see how much money is coming in and where it’s going by looking at your earnings reports. This report shows how much money you’ve made from ads on your videos over the last month, and also includes information about where those ads were placed and what they looked like.
Verification of identity
YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world. The average user spends 15 minutes a day on YouTube, and there are more than 1 billion users every month. That’s why advertisers are flocking to YouTube as a way to reach their target audience, and that’s why it’s critical for you as a creator to be able to monetize your videos.
It’s important to note that just because you can monetize your videos doesn’t mean you should. If you aren’t making enough money from ads, then it may not be worth it for you to continue with ads on your videos. But if you have high-quality content, then ads may be the best way for you to make money off of your videos.
Monetize your video by selecting the ads option
If you’ve already uploaded a video to your channel, it’s time to monetize it. To do so, click on the “Video Manager” button in the top-right corner and select “Monetization.” Select the ad type that best fits your video content.
You can choose from “display ads,” which are placed throughout the video player, or “skippable video ads” (pre-rolls), which appear before or during actual play. Select the ad format that best suits your content type and audience.
on “Monetize with Ads” button. Click on “Monetize my video” button. Click on “Yes, I agree to the YouTube Partner Program Terms and Conditions” and then click “I Agree” button. You will see a message that says; “Your channel has been reviewed and we have approved it to monetize.
Minimum earnings before payment is made
If you’re a YouTube Partner, you can earn money from your videos. You might have noticed that some of your videos show ads before they start, and some don’t. The amount of ad revenue you earn depends on a number of factors, including:
- Video views: The more views your video gets, the more money you’ll earn. Video length also matters. If people watch most or all of a longer video, we believe it is worth more than if they watch just a few minutes.
- Video quality: Higher video quality results in higher earnings — so make sure your videos have high resolution and play smoothly without buffering delays. This is especially important when it comes to mobile devices (where many people watch YouTube).
- Targeting: Targeted ads can result in higher earnings than untargeted ads if they attract more viewers and lead them to take action on our advertiser’s website or app. For example, if someone sees an ad for shoes while watching a makeup tutorial, the shopper might be interested in buying those shoes instead of just browsing.
Conclusion
Once you’ve set up your account and made a request, the ads will start rolling in shortly and you’ll earn revenue from them. But there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it can take a while before your ads start earning any revenue, so be patient. Secondly, as mentioned above, payments are only made if you reach $100 in ad revenue, so it could take awhile to get there depending on how many videos you have.
