You might have heard lately how people can make money on Youtube.

As YouTube is the largest online video community in the world

it enables you to reach a global audience with your video content.

By joining the Youtube partner program and allowing YouTube to place ads in your video

you can make money.

It is easy to get started! And here is how to do it:

First step Open an account at Youtube.

As a YouTube account is the same as a Google account, you can log in with an existing g-mail account.

Second step Now you can start to upload videos.

To be able to make money on your videos you need to own worldwide rights to the content.

That means you have created everything in your video yourself.

If your video contains content created by someone else,

you must have their written permission to use and make money from it.

Examples of videos that are ok to use for commercials:

You filmed your cat, and there is no background music in the video.

Your video contains royalty-free music, and you can prove commercial rights using

a direct link to its terms. Your friend's band wrote and recorded

a song for your video and states in writing that you can use and make money from it.

Examples of videos that are not ok to use for commercials:

Your video has music that you purchased on iTunes

or content that you recorded from the television. You edit together a compilation of content

created by others. Your video contains: images, logos or videogame footage

that you didn't create or got permission from its creator to use.

Your video contains scenes with violence or nudity.

Third step Monetize your videos.

In order to start earning money on your videos, you’ll need to enable monetization.

This means you are allowing YouTube to place ads in your video. This also means that you acknowledged

that there is no copyrighted material in your video.

Click on the Monetisation-tab in your account settings (You'll only see this option if your

account is in good standing and hasn't been disabled for monetisation.) Follow the on-screen

steps to accept the YouTube monetisation agreement.

Your video will go through a standard review process before ads begin to appear.

Forth step Setup Google AdSense.

In order to earn money with your videos and get paid, you need to associate an AdSense

account with your YouTube account. You can setup Google AdSense for free at the

AdSense website. Click the Sign-Up Now button to begin creating your account.

You need either PayPal or a bank account and a valid mailing address so AdSense can

verify who you are and who to send the money to.

Congratulations, you can now earn money from your YouTube videos!

How many views does it take to make money on YouTube?

This is a question that is not easy to answer as you don’t make money based on the amount

of views you have. You make money based on people’s engagement with the ad.

Engagement here means clicking or watching an ad for more than 30 seconds. So the earned money

per view can vary a lot. As a rule of thumb a video with 1,000 views can make around one

half (0,5) to one and a half (1,5) USD. Which means that

10,000 views give around 5-15 dollars, 100,000 views give approximately 50-150 dollars,

1,000,000 views would give 500-1500 dollars And 10,000,000 views would give around 5,000-15,000 dollars

Good luck with your videos!
