How to earn money from YouTube?

Make your videos with a specific type of person in mind. This is basic advertising 101; identifying your target demographic. Don’t tell me that your demographics are 21 – 55 year old women.

In paid videos, the brands approach you to share some valuable information about them through your videos, in return for which you can ask for a definite price.

This is the shotgun approach that’s too general and vague. Do you talk to a 21 year old girl the same way you’d talk to a 55 year old lady? Of course not. Define your audience and create videos that’s catered to them.

3. Target KeyWords with a High CPC

Scenario 1 You make a video reviewing the new iPhone that gets 1,000,000 views, of which your ad Click Through Rate (CTR) is 0.1%. Meaning 1,000 people clicked the ad.

If the CPC is $1.38 the total advertising dollars made would be $1,380.  Google keeps around 45% making your payout $759.  This gives you $1 per 1,317 views

Crowdsourcing is similar to the concept of Wikipedia, where you share free valuable information with the audience for a favor that they donate money for video making expenses.

Scenario 2 You make a video teaching people about home loans that gets 10,000 views, of which your ad Click Through Rate (CTR) is 0.8%. Meaning 80 people clicked the ad.

If the CPC is $17.63 the total advertising dollars the total advertising made would be $1,410.  Google keeps around 45% leaving your payout $776.  This gives you about $1 per 13 views.

These scenarios are exaggerated to show the point.  The money you make on YouTube has more to do with what advertisers pay for than how many views you get.

CPC is when an advertiser pays money based on clicks. So if a certain keyword has a CPC of $3 and someone clicks on that ad, it will charge that advertiser $3. These text ads pop up in the lower part of the screen during the video and can also show up as a square banner on the right side of your channel.

CPV is when an advertiser pays money based on views. A view for the advertiser means someone watches an Ad for at least 30 seconds or half of the ad; whichever comes first. That person could click that ad 50 times but it still wouldn’t charge the advertiser more because they’re not paying for the click, they’re paying for the view.
