Many Youtube users are interested in the question, how much can you earn on this service? A few years ago, the main and only way to get money from your videos was monetization. But in 2019, this is far from the main and certainly not the only way.
Earnings on views
Today, almost anyone can start making money on the Internet without having any special skills and expensive equipment. One of the most popular ways is the Youtube platform with its ability to make money from your own videos.
For a long time, it was only possible to secure a profit by monetizing content. It was provided using the internal Adsense service. When monetization is connected, advertising is embedded in all the user's videos, and for each advertised video the channel's author is entitled to a small reward
Despite its simplicity, monetization has a lot of pitfalls. Payment is made only for every thousand views, and if there are fewer of them, then you will not even see the money. Adsense employees, if suspected of cheating videos, can simply freeze income from monetization, or "cut" views and pay much less. This cannot be called a deception, rather a reinsurance, but not in favor of the authors, of course.
As for the earnings, it constantly varies: in 2015 it was about two dollars per thousand views. In 2018, the profit from a thousand views was about four to five dollars.
Frankly, this is a very small amount, and it is almost impossible for novice authors and bloggers to make money. In addition, the site administration in 2019 tightened the conditions for users to enable monetization (increased the required number of views and subscribers on the channel).
Earnings without monetization
Advertisers have long understood how effective the Youtube platform is for promoting any product. Monetization in modern YouTube is almost never used, and anyone can make money on advertising, even those who have a relatively small channel.
Advertisers contact the channel owners directly and agree on the terms. That is, today many popular bloggers make money directly from their videos, many deliberately turn off and do not use monetization. Instead, they integrate sponsored ads into their video, or advertise the advertiser's products themselves.
Recently, streams have become another popular way to make money on Youtube. The authors indicate the necessary details in the description for the video and launch a live broadcast. The fullness of the broadcast depends directly on the authors themselves, and earnings - on the generosity of his fans. The method is quite effective and profitable, but only on condition that the author makes really interesting content and he has a constant audience.
