how many views does it take for people to make money off youtube?

[ratherbebig]

most seem to talk about their no of subscribers, but surely thats irrelevant, say you got 1 million subscribers yet your videos average 10 000, that means 1% of your subscribers are actually watching the stuff you put up.

rxmuscle most of their videos seem to get 5-10k views
same for jason blaha, surely he cant be making a lot of money for a video that reach 5-10k views?

vegan gains get 100k views quite often, his video meeting rich piana at toronto pro got 350k views, thats like 75 videos from blaha combined.

this video, a week old gets 8 million views. i dont know if the guy made any money on that, maybe he need to qualify or something but that single less than  a minute video gets more views than what a lot of those fitness guys get in a year all their videos combined...

To the best of my knowledge, It's all about ad views and the duration of the ad view and if anyone clicks on the ad.  Based on this,  money earned will be all.over the map and there is no set 10000 views of your video =this amount.

If your channels videos become demonitized you will lose advertising sourced revenue as no ads will be played on your videos. 

If I'm wrong anywhere here please let me know where. Thanks.

It's ad clicks, not video views. 

[rocket]

When you get to thousands / millions of views, the click basically average out to a dollar value.. It doesn't vary wildly.

The answer is $2-4 per thousand views

My former housemate has a video that has over 8 million views

Not entirely sure the total revenue he has reaped from it, but it definitely now over 16k

[ratherbebig]

so someone put a video up that gets 5000 views he earns 16 dollars before taxes? considering the time it takes to put that video together that must be the lowest paying job in the universe.

It depends on a combination of views and ad clicks with a much heavier incentive on ad revenue.  Vegan Gains is having revenue issues due to numerous strikes on his account for hate speech.  RX Muscle is on youtube only because I convinced Dave of the revenue potential compared to his RX TV venture which was bleeding him dry.


Ultimately, Youtube videos should really be used to promote outside websites that you control rather than being dependent on Youtube for food and shelter

[ratherbebig]

but whatabout the ads that are not clicks?

video 1 - get 5000 views, starts with a trailer for wonder woman.
video 2 - get 50 000 views, starts with a trailer for wonder woman.

video 1 dude spent half a day putting that video online, filming himself lifting in the gym. ended up getting 20 bucks before taxes. he should've spent that time flipping burgers instead.

i guess most of the guys dont care about the money rather they have nothing else to do with their time.

If you have a channel and subscribers you then negotiate rates from ads per view.  Otherwise it's like a fraction of a penny.  Once you get in the millions of subscribers ad companies will pay you more knowing you have a set target audience.

You convinced Palumbo to start his youtube channel?

[The True Adonis]

Who the fuck in their right mind would not use Adblock?

People still get ads on Youtube? ROFLMAO.  People are stupid.

[Rudee]

I wonder how much MC Hammer is making on a video that has over 300 million views.

Some streaming sites are now detecting AD block and refusing to deliver content if you don't turn it off.  Assholes. 

[El Diablo Blanco]

Just so you know.  There are firms out there that you can pay $1000 to get a million unique views or facebook repost or twitter retweets.  They have 10's of millions if not hundreds of millions of fake accounts that will get you numerous hits.

AFAIK he went broke and became a shoes salesman

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

Yes I did.  He was doing that RX TV gig and was losing his shirt.  Not only that, his site is perfect for youtube as they shoot hours of content

[Skorp1o]

Average income per 1000 views is around 1.75 USD.  there's daily vloggers who post a video every single day and get between 2 to 3 million views a pop...doing basic maths here it adds up to a lot of money David Dobrik springs to mind, Casey Neistat is another one but Liza Koshy is killing it right now daily vlogging and getting between 7 to 10million views per video. I don't think any of the fitness peeps get anywhere near this.

Do you charge for your consulting services or just do it to be nice?
