If you want to make money on YouTube, you'll need to be ready to play the long game. My channel didn't start to make money until roughly 85 videos and nine months in. If I'd quit 84 videos in, the last five years would have never happened.

In this video, I look at the three lessons I've learnt about turning a personal brand into a business and answer the top questions I'm asked about monetisation on YouTube.

Actually 8:33 what geography you are targeting.. not what geography you are from 🥰
You can target New York and Sydney from Morocco .. and vice versa is right

We're you able to calculate, how much money you made in ads per premium Youtube subscriber forced into content (ads) that YouTube promised 10 years ago would be ad free. Money youve made specifically from YouTube premium subscribers being forced into advertisements, for your profit? That's why, this creator base is not sustainable when I can make copyright compliant replicas of your channel with tthe sole intent of not profiting and not advertising.. YouTube is somehow legally profiting by circumnavigating the contract in every premium subscription by saying its okay for everyone but YouTube to advertise to paying members..

MY FAVOURITE SOFTWARE:

Ignore this nonsense. That kind of revenue only comes from a very specific niche (finance videos), at a very specific time of year (Q4 when ad spending is high) and from a very specific locale (US, UK and Canadian audience), Even then it's still insanely high and I suspect he's photoshopped the images in his video for clout.

The average income from ad revenue on a normal YouTube video doing 10 million hits is $25,000.

BE MY FRIEND:

I am curious when it comes to YouTube memorization. Does the view count matters or the watch time matters? Does it mean if I have a 1 min video vs a 10 min video. It doesn't matter when comes to monetization?

Cute and all, but every video is 50% just ADS for your own stuff. Lucrative, probably, annoying, definitely

Woow Ali u are doing good man🎉 Is every having its own money? Or do they pay once for.....maybe all your ....maybe 250 videos? How do they pay actually?

@EminahRamphisa

Funny how some peoples videos have been viewed millions of times and they say they only made a few hundred dollars to date in total. Why is it that some people say they make hundreds of thousands of dollars while others say they only make hundreds of dollars if they're lucky for the same amount of views of their videos. I think somewhere along the lines people like this person may not be completely honest it may be just something but that they are actually even being paid to do to fall asleep provide information to the public so they will continue downloading and uploading videos onto YouTube keeping it popular hence the owners in shareholders will continue to make billions of dollars from sponsors and advertisement why simply misleading the public. I don't think that he's made that much money from his videos this guy I doubt it because he's not interesting at all

I'm just at the very start of the youtube journey and I'm finding it quite difficult to generate a script and actually record myself... but every time I struggle and feel down, I watch one of your videos and it gives me the positive affirmation to try and keep going and see where it goes.

As we say in German: "Wer nicht wagt, der nicht gewinnt" - "He who does not try, will not win"

Early in this video, there is a clip of you as a doctor at the computer. You're furiously typing away. I laughed because it looked so obviously fake and goofy. Then I got to the part where you said the title of your fifth highest earning video...
