How bloggers make money on YouTube.

Hello dear readers of the blog site. With the initial launch of the Internet, information was transmitted exclusively, and text blogging was the only way to get an audience, subscribers and earnings.

Today, all information is diversified by various media files, one of which is video, and now even many schoolchildren know how to make money on YouTube.

However, this issue should be analyzed in detail, if, of course, you want to receive such money that would allow you to quit your main job and deal exclusively with making money on YouTube and your own channel.

About YouTube and the types of earnings on it

Today it is difficult to find a person who does not know what YouTube is. If you are one, then briefly about this project. to which millions of videos are uploaded daily.

People are watching these videos on YouTube, which means what is the conclusion? What can you earn on it, and the one who thought of this first, is now on a horse. But don't be discouraged, because YouTube is happy to welcome new bloggers, allowing them to make huge amounts of money.

So, about the types of earnings. Here we'll just figure out what brings income to YouTube, and then we'll talk about which way to choose and how to monetize the channel correctly.

Main types of earnings 4:

  1. Adsense. This is a text advertisement that is displayed in videos, and if the viewer clicks on the advertisement, the account owner gets a profit.
  2. "Affiliate programs". Do you want to know how to make money on YouTube? Connect to affiliate programs. Affiliate programs are the same Adsense, only in profile. They accept those channels that did not meet the requirements of the official method of monetization (Adsense), but that allow them to regularly generate income for the channel owner.
  3. CPA networks. An excellent source of income on YouTube, everyone can do it and get a lot of money for it, it all depends on you. The main point is mediation, but more on that later.
  4. Direct advertising. This is when you, being the owner of a channel with an audience, advertise another channel on YouTube, but this method is not suitable for everyone.
  5. You will find some more options in my previous article on this topic -

The main idea of \u200b\u200bmaking money on YouTube in that there are two camps: the camp of advertisers and the camp of bloggers. Some need to advertise a product or service, others do it successfully for money. And if you are not the owner of a corporation, do not despair, because you may well become a blogger and receive a fairly large reward for your work.

How much do youtubers make?

Maybe you shouldn't take on this business? Maybe it doesn't bring a good income? Maybe a regular job is better? Yes and no (read more about this in the article ""). The problem is that the exact figure cannot be identified, and find out how much youtubers earn per month or year.

  1. Firstly, all channels have different topics, and if, for example, for 1000 impressions on the topic “cars” they pay $ 2, then in entertainment it will be only half a dollar.
  2. Second, everyone has different content and different audience sizes. The larger the audience, the more feedback, the more money a person gets. The owner of a channel with a hundred thousandth audience earns several times less than a person with a millionth audience.
  3. Third, all channels receive different offers. Some video channels make money on YouTube by advertising "radioactive" Beats headphones and credit card knives (you've probably come across these). Others receive offers from serious firms. For instance?
    For example, you are a top video blogger on the topic “Cooking” and Redmond offers you to advertise their household appliances. How much will she pay? 50, 100 or 300 thousand rubles? It all depends on your fame.

So the question of how much they earn on YouTube is rather complicated and controversial. However, there are a number of real-world examples to spur you on. In general, few people share their real earnings, but we managed to find something:

Dmitry Larin at the moment is one of the top video bloggers on the Runet. Last fall he published his "finstrip", i.e. your earnings for November and December (see screenshot).

As we can see, the amount for two months amounted to $ 2,954, which is approximately 200 thousand rubles. It is difficult to find such a salary even in Moscow, especially since you work at home, and not in an office or somewhere else.

Dmitry Puchkov... Here, alas, there is no screenshot of earnings. However, the video blogger himself offers advertising on his website and YouTube channel at a cost of 100 rubles and more. This is the same example when serious campaigns come to you. Dmitry has advertised brands such as Redmond, Highscreen, Dexp, and more.

In fact, there are many such examples. For example, blogger Khovansky bought himself an apartment, doing only video blogging, and the popular EeOneGuy had enough 70 thousand subscribers to live a full life on the money earned in this way.

If you want, you can familiarize yourself with the statistics from WhatStat, there are approximate figures that show how much certain channels earn on YouTube (here are screenshots from there):

As the owners of popular channels say, one million views brings about 1000 dollars... Of course, this figure will change in both directions, but more often in a larger one, because one Adsense can bring this thousand, and other options for earning a large amount.

The reverse side of YouTube

    Yes, we looked at examples of how top bloggers make money. We realized that you can even earn money for apartments, but, as they say: you said "a" - say "b", so the negative aspects of the activity on YouTube should be noted:
  1. Fame. Yes, some people like universal fame and popularity, but some don't. If you become popular, then, believe me, your friends, relatives and many acquaintances will find out about it. This is a minor minus, but it is.
  2. Blocking capability. There are tons of examples when channels got banned by YouTube. In the same place, a robot mainly works as technical support, you cannot explain it to him, and you cannot put pressure on emotions. There is a violation, there are strikes - you get banned.
  3. A simple waste of time. A huge number of YouTube channel owners have burned out, they spent money on the development of the channel, their time, energy to create content, but did not gain the necessary popularity, so this can be a simple waste of time and money.

It is not so easy to create a viral video, join a team of competing colleagues, make friends with TOP bloggers, etc. However, everyone is capable of making money on YouTube from scratch, and now we will figure out how to do this.

How to create a successful YouTube channel?

So how to make money on YouTube? Where can you start? That's right, with the registration of the channel.

Simple: we come up with a login (which will be used later on YouTube), a password and indicate a mobile number.

Now the main thing is the choice of the audience and the main topic. Now very many varieties for video blogging:

  1. Beauty blog. This is when women tell other women what kind of handbag they bought yesterday and what kind of lipstick to choose for the dress.
  2. Auto blog and tech blog. Cars, like technology, are interesting for the male contingent. In addition, they have a fairly good profit from advertising, but it is important to be able to understand the topic, tell something new, otherwise you can quickly lose your audience.
  3. Entertaining blog. The lowest in terms of money, but the fastest in terms of audience recruitment. It is enough to make a couple of funny videos, attract a crowd and that's it, you got an audience, thereby getting a tool for making money on YouTube.
  4. Culinary blogs. An interesting topic that doesn't have much competition. However, advertising is not so profitable here, unless you start advertising household appliances.
  5. Reviews. Can't you do anything? Do reviews! It's a joke, of course, but the topic of reviews is quite popular, and besides, you don't have to be an expert here. You can form an opinion about movies, music, other videos, games, etc.
  6. Games. By the way, speaking of games, the gaming theme is one of the leading today. Nowadays there are many letplayers (these are people who record videos of the passage of a particular game).

Once the main vector is set, you can start creating videos and publishing them. If you really want to get paid for your work, then objectively you need to work as best you can. Concerning some tips for making videos:

  1. Use a quality camera and equipment in general. The well-known blogger Yevgeny Bazhenov said that the quality of content is very important, and if you want to get your audience, you should put maximum effort into your product. Those. get a good microphone, camera, make the right light, etc.
  2. Master video editing programs. Video editing is an inevitable technical part of working on YouTube, because sometimes even the simplest footage needs to be edited to make the product interesting. In order not to waste time, start training immediately in the Sony Vegas or Adobe Premier Pro program - these are the most popular and effective ones.
  3. Idea, plot, script. The semantic component is also important, because a good picture is not enough, you also need a great idea. If this is an overview, then you need to highlight in detail all the moments of the object. If this is an entertaining blog, then you need to figure out how to make the viewer laugh.
  4. Number of videos. In his lecture on video blogging, Dmitry Larin said that content must be delivered continuously, and if you want to be successful in this business, then you cannot do anything else, since all your strength and ideas go to your product.

Now fully think over the idea, concept, technical aspects - everything that concerns and will concern your channel. Make a rough plan pilot episodes, sample titles and keywords (tags), and start building your own audience.

Now let's look at how to make money on YouTube, but in more detail.

YouTube channel monetization: from Adsense to direct advertising

As we have already found out, there are 4 main ways to make money: Affiliates, CPA, Adsense and direct advertising.

  1. Let's start with the main thing - Adsense ... ... You upload a video, enable monetization in the settings. Then ad units appear in 3 parts in your videos. The account looks like this:

    Today, although Adsense is not so popular with video bloggers, you can still use it and monetize your channel. However, it is important to consider that videos must not violate copyright, you must have a certain number of subscribers, views, etc.

  2. Various affiliate programs are an alternative to Adsense. For example, the site Plibber ... After a simple registration, we can become an "influence agent" by placing advertisements in our videos:

    Next, we indicate the cost of advertising and receive assignments from customers - that's the whole scheme. In fact, there are quite a lot of such affiliate programs that take under their wing young and not so channels, you can find them on the net. I can give you the following affiliate programs (media networks):

    1. VSP-Group (YouPartnerWSP)
    2. Air (Agency of Internet Rights)
    3. QuizGroup
    4. X-Media Digital
    5. TGN Network
    6. IriCOM
  3. ? This is perhaps the most popular answer to the question of how to make money on YouTube from scratch, because even a zero channel can work here, i.e. with a small number of subscribers. You just need to register with any CPA network, select a product and advertise it to your subscribers. As soon as your reader buys a product from the link, you immediately receive money. This is a great way to make money on YouTube, especially for a young channel.

  4. And another great way to make money on your YouTube channel is direct advertising... As we already understood, direct advertising is when you advertise another video blogger or product (service) directly from the advertiser (without intermediaries in the form of ad networks). Here you set the price yourself, neither the service nor the advertiser, but you. Unfortunately, this method comes with a certain number of subscribers, but sometimes such offers appear at the initial stages.

the main thing in all this monetization - not to lose your audience, otherwise, you will lose the tool for making money. Advertise everything in moderation, you do not need to shove 20 minutes of advertising into one video, and just say a minute about the case - be more modest.

That's all, now you are familiar with all aspects of earning money on YouTube. Good luck and success to you!

Good luck to you! See you soon on the blog site pages

Let's see what ways to make money on YouTube have been created.
The article is of an encyclopedic nature, in which I tried to collect profitable and penny ones.

Why is YouTube so popular?

For starters, statistics: every day this site is visited by\u003e 1 billion users.

The service is popular, contains a wide geography of users, which makes it even more attractive for advertisers.
Owned by the giant Google, which is the first to fight copyright on the web.

The main ways to make money

  • Publishing copyright videos;
  • Publishing non-unique videos;
  • Earnings on affiliate programs;
  • Selling ads to direct advertisers;
  • Promotion of any site or other channel;
  • Likes videos for money, subscription to channels for money.

Let's start with the last point

Earnings on likes

The method is suitable for completely newbies who want to work on the Internet, the method is ideal for initial capital, for further building a business on the Internet.

Why is it being paid for?

By putting a like or subscribing to a channel, thereby the owner increases the parameters of the video or channel, thereby often appearing in the top of videos in 1 day or several hours, which gives free views, and accordingly, for example.

How much can you earn?

If you approach it individually, then not much, and your profile will turn into a trash heap.
If massively, then you can make money not bad.

Promotion of a site or other channel

How it works?

You are not attracting potential buyers, but, roughly speaking, selling a product through video.
Do several reviews or even episodes.

The first part of the video consists of a description of a product or category, and the second part consists of a link to the online store where this product is purchased.

It's worth noting that YouTube videos can be stored for free and indefinitely. Such conditions make it easier to make money on this channel.

What are the pros?

  • You can get a percentage of the sales of something for a long time;
  • You are not limited to one affiliate program or product.

What are the cons?

It will be extremely difficult for a beginner, you need to shoot reviews yourself.

Publishing non-unique videos

A dangerous idea, although of course there are workarounds.

Scheme # 1 - unpopular videos on your channel

It consists in the fact that you need to find either not popular videos, promote on your channel, having previously redone it, in the editor program.

Scheme number 2 - photos in video

An interesting photo selection is made, and edited as a slide show, only in video format, with the imposition of effects, music, etc.

Scheme No. 3 - radio broadcasts in video

Quite little used, although very profitable in fact. To make it clear the screenshot below

  • I marked links to other videos within the channel with blue arrows. This is done in order to increase the number of views, thereby increasing the number of ad block impressions;
  • White arrows indicate ad insertions, in this example, an ad is shown 8 times in one video

This is a radio broadcast, it was recorded, then photos, promo videos were added to the video, and voila - interesting content.

Scheme No. 4 - films and programs without copyright

It turns out there are, and quite a few. This also includes old films, clips, etc.

Publishing copyright videos

The most interesting and profitable source of income on YouTube.

How much can you earn?


An example of making money on a channel with all sorts of collections "Top 20 ways to save money"
The money is paid by the Google Adsense affiliate program (pop-up window in the video, very often at the beginning of the video itself)

How much can you earn on 1 video

Statistics of each video for 1 month of impressions


Statistics for 1 full month of the channel. As you can see, there are many videos that have views, but no money has been charged for showing ads.
This is due to several reasons
  • There are simply no subject advertisers on this topic;
  • The video is not interesting for advertisers;
  • Not a good theme of the video;
  • Videos with various age restrictions;
  • Restricted video from Google.

What are the most profitable countries?

As you can see, profitable today are English-speaking countries, as well as top EU countries.
Russia is quite low. The rest of the CIS countries are even lower.

How much can you earn per 1000 views?

  • USA - $ 5-15;
  • Canada, Great Britain - $ 4-13;
  • Germany - $ 3-15;
  • Russia - $ 0.3-0.8;
  • CIS countries - $ 0.1-0.6.

Also, views from the countries of Qatar and the UAE are expensive.

Basic instructions for creating a channel

  • Choose a unique, specialized login that briefly represents your business. For example, Coca Cola's YouTube account is called “Coca-Cola”. However, if your business is small and its name does not give a clear idea of \u200b\u200bwhat goods or services you sell, add the product type to your login.

    For example, for the Mountain Top brand that specializes in hiking boots, choose the account name "mountaintopboots."

  • Upload one or a group of interesting, dynamic commercials to your YouTube channel. In your YouTube ad descriptions, add key terms that users might ask for, as well as the names of your products, services and business.

    Make the first videos high-quality and informative to get the first likes and live views. Over time, it will come up in the search, and may appear in the "Featured Videos".

  • Add a custom background, banner and short description. If you have a personal blog, you need to add a link to the canap on the blog, and a link to the blog on the channel. Cross-exchange will provide the first traffic from the blog.
  • Use a YouTube video promotion tool designed to drive traffic to your ads. Thanks to the function, the video will become visible to users when typing certain keywords.

    You only pay when the user clicks on the video, making the investment a cost-effective addition to your ad campaign.

  • Create an overlay for the commercials in the form of a business website link. Overlays are semi-transparent advertisements that appear at the top of a YouTube video. This will drive traffic to your site and provide information to interested viewers about where your products and services are purchased.

How much do TOP video bloggers earn?

The exact dates cannot be calculated. But some services have been created that demonstrate the profitability of the channel. As a rule, the amounts of earnings are overestimated, and are indicated in the range from and to.
An example of such a political channel is below:


Explanations for this table.
  • Dates are understandable;
  • +553 - the number of new subscribers per day;
  • 622,726 - the number of subscribers on the channel;
  • +1,908,590 - the number of views on the channel per day;
  • 599,176,059 - the number of views on the channel for the entire time;
  • The last column is income per day.

According to my information, the amount from the last column, you can safely take the first value (which is the minimum) and subtract about 30% for sure. Then we get an approximate amount of passive income.

TOP services for making money by watching videos

Making money on video is an easy way to make money online. Watch videos, add comments, repost and create your own collections.

VkTarget


The service is similar to Cashbox - the same functionality, the same promotion tasks, the same methods of earning money for performers. You can withdraw the earned funds to Webmoney or Yandex Money.

This is not a complete list of services for making money on video. But the listed sites are well-known and reliable, so it's worth starting with them.
If you don't get hung up on watching videos, you can earn up to 200 rubles on each exchange daily.

Instead of output

Method evaluation -

In the previous article, we tried to find out from open sources of information. As a result, it turned out that net income can reach more than one million rubles a month.

In this article you will learn all the ways how bloggers make money on YouTube. Some of them use all the methods to earn money, while others use only one.

Popular bloggers use 5 formats to monetize their YouTube channels.

  1. affiliate program
  2. Small sale
  3. Direct advertisers
  4. Brand name
  5. Social networks

Earnings on YouTube through an affiliate program

This is the easiest and most popular way to make money on your YouTube channel. But in the Russian-speaking space, in order to earn decent money on an affiliate program, you need to have a very popular resource.

For example, if there are 1-2 million active subscribers on the channel, then the income can range from $ 3,000 per month.

Again, if the topic is designed for a solvent audience. For example, "auto" topic.

One owner of a YouTube travel resource with 80,000 subscribers shared information that his affiliate income is only $ 300 a month.

If the channel is narrowly thematic and there is no million audience, as, for example, on one of my channels, which I promote, then it will take several months to earn $ 100.

If you work directly with YouTube, then payments will be 1 time per month and the minimum amount must be at least $ 100.

If you work through partner networks (media agencies), then the minimum salary can be only $ 0.5, depending on where you want to receive your money, for example, on.

If in the first option you will receive 100% of your income, then in the second from 80%. But 20% will be taken by the media network. According to which scheme to work, everyone chooses for himself.

If the channel has any troubles, for example, it gets banned, then it will be very difficult to restore it. Working with a media network will make it much easier. The media network is interested in bloggers and always tries to help them.

The owners themselves admit that earnings from an affiliate program are only 10% of their total income.

Perhaps very soon YouTube will abandon the affiliate program altogether. So you shouldn't count on her too much. But for many YouTubers, affiliate programs are now the only source of income. What will happen next, only time will tell.

Selling "something" on your YouTube channel

Small and medium channels are engaged in this way of earning. This includes:

  • Selling likes
  • Selling comments
  • Advertising of other channels

This method brings very little money and does not paint its owner at all. This method is more suitable for meeting other bloggers and collaborations (collaboration).

If you see that a resource is selling ads for another YouTube blogger, then he is not doing very well.

Direct sale of advertising on YouTube

The most interesting and most profitable way is to sell ads by a direct advertiser.

You can sell such advertising yourself, or through special agencies. All major bloggers now collaborate through such agencies. They have a base of advertisers. Accordingly, they take their percentage for this. Advertisers and agencies work only under a contract.

This means that the blogger must have an LLC or individual entrepreneur and he pays taxes on his income. Not a single large advertiser will go black.

Such an expensive price is due to the fact that it is a complex technical and creative process in which more than one person is involved.

Pre-roll. Pre-rolls are the most common type of advertising for YouTube bloggers. You can see it at the very beginning of the video.

You turn on a video clip and, as a rule, first you see a static picture of the advertised product, service or other YouTube channel.

Then the video itself, which you planned to watch, begins. Such advertising is considered non-intrusive and subscribers perceive it normally.

Also pre-roll can be dynamic. This is when something happens in the video. Such advertising costs a little more than conventional static advertising.

If we are talking about large channels, then for this they ask from 100 thousand rubles for 1 pre-roll.

Personal brand

The coolest format that is not available to everyone. After all, it takes a lot of time and effort to become a brand.

At this stage, large bloggers begin to be invited to television and starred in commercials that will be shown on TV.

One such example is Stas Davydov. He became popular thanks to his YouTube entertainment channel “This is Good”. Its audience is over 5 million subscribers.

He has already been a guest on the TV show "Evening Urgant". And more recently he starred in an advertisement for Beeline.

Selling Social Media Ads

Some bloggers neglect the promotion of their accounts on Instagram, VKontakte or other social networks. As a result, they “do not receive” additional profit.

Big bloggers treat this business like a business. And they are actively engaged in the promotion and promotion of themselves in other social networks. After all, they understand that each social network is a separate source of income.

So we looked at the main ways how popular bloggers make money on YouTube. You can also make good money on small and medium channels.

To do this, it is enough to understand what is and how you need to work with them. There are a lot of affiliate programs and you can find your ideal affiliate program for almost any topic, which will bring a stable income.

I said that I help one person to promote YouTube. The topic of this channel is very narrow. It has only 2,000 subscribers. But thanks to the fact that I have been working with affiliate programs for a long time, I have accumulated some experience in this matter.

Earnings amounted to 10,863 rubles in 2 weeks. The money is small, but for this person it is a good result, since he did not understand before how he could make money on it.

Output

Earnings on YouTube completely depend on the content that is produced. The more interesting it is, the more popular the channel becomes. But you can also make money on small channels. Video content decides everything.

Everyone chooses the methods of monetization for himself. The most popular and unobtrusive are pre-rolls. Bloggers love them the most. They are easy to make and well paid for.

Big bloggers know and understand very well that keeping all your eggs in one basket is not safe. They develop accounts on other social networks. After all, if the channel is banned, then they will be able to continue to earn on their creativity.

Today, the Internet provides a lot of opportunities. The well-known video hosting YouTube succeeds in this. Advertising on YouTube is a popular way not only to promote goods, services or a personal brand, but also a method of making money. More and more channel owners are interested in how to launch someone else's video and how much they pay for showing it. Those wishing to promote their own website or blog will find it useful to learn how to order advertising on the YouTube channel, how to make an advertisement and whether there is free ad placement.

How to buy YouTube ads

Video hosting offers excellent opportunities for promoting websites, blogs or pages. You can order advertising on YouTube channels from any user who uploads videos. In addition, there is advertising for videos on YouTube - the ability to promote your video or channel.

The advantages of this method of product promotion:

  • video hosting allows you to display ads of almost any type and format - you can add banners, contextual and targeted advertising to the video;
  • the ability to independently analyze the CTR of the publication - the advertiser has access to statistics of views and transitions;
  • page conversion significantly increases, popular bloggers promise an increase in the number of visitors to the advertiser's website and useful actions on it up to 25%;
  • the ability to independently manage settings (choose the target audience and allocate your budget);
  • cost savings, since advertising on YouTube is controlled by the site administration and it is forbidden to wind up views;
  • youTube may display prohibited advertisements for other sites (for example, promoting alcohol).

Where to buy advertising

If you don't have a familiar blogger or channel owner in mind, there is an advertising exchange on YouTube. On this site, the customer orders the ad display to the performer they like, who inserts the ad into their videos.

Why is it convenient to use the exchange? First, you can determine how much advertising costs among popular bloggers and calculate your budget. Secondly, this intermediary guarantees the security of the transaction, the channel owner need not be afraid that he will not be paid. In addition, you can order advertising after receiving information from the exchange about the blogger's video topic, the number of views of his videos and the target audience.

YouTube ads are available in a variety of formats. It can be just a text message or a whole video. Recently, viral advertising has become especially popular. The bottom line is that users themselves distribute an interesting video among themselves. The video virus is especially effective in the first few days and can literally blow up the internet. The virus video is bought by both large and small companies. It costs much less to show it on the web or on YouTube than on television. Of course, creating such a virus requires an interesting idea; it is very difficult to make such material on your own.

How to make money from advertising?


The principle of making money through an affiliate program.

To start earning, the channel must be monetized, that is, be able to withdraw money. To do this, you need to register with the partner media network. One of the most popular is Air. She helps budding and established video bloggers improve the quality of their videos, gives recommendations on YouTube advertising, provides monetization opportunities, and partners with brands that are willing to pay to advertise their products.


The Air affiliate program provides great opportunities and has wide functionality.

Many aspiring bloggers are interested in the question: "How much can I make from my videos?" It is unlikely that it will be possible to make a fortune on one video, advertising on a video is paid for two to five dollars per thousand views, so you need to work on the channel a lot, constantly filming and uploading new material. Also, earnings depend on the percentage of the intermediary. Let's say Air pays out 70% of its ad revenue.

Ad clicks are not possible. YouTube fights against excessive user activity and blocks suspicious pages. The only way to promote is to order useful actions through the exchanges. In this case, the ad will not be considered cheated, since clicks will come from different real users. If you already have your own promoted channel, you should think about how to include ads in videos and start making money on them.

How to install ads

Before wondering how to place an advertisement, you need to familiarize yourself with the promotion rules on YouTube. You also need to define what prohibited advertising is. Video hosting contains ads that are prohibited.

Prohibited Ads on YouTube are sponsorship campaigns and promotions that are not permitted in your videos. The administration blocks such a user forever. Ads that do not meet the technical requirements of YouTube also fall under the definition of "prohibited advertising".

Novice bloggers interested in how to connect advertising should first register with Google Edwards under the same login as on YouTube. After that, an additional menu will appear that allows you to work with ads.

  • Another way to add an ad or call is to add hints. To do this, go to the video manager, click on the arrow next to the "edit" button to open a drop-down menu. In this menu select "change" - "hints".
  • On the page that opens, you can add several types of advertising calls.

Prompts can be set at a specific time interval.

Channel owners often ask the question: "Why can't I make money on my video?" Most likely the problem is incorrect settings. On YouTube, advertising is targeted, that is, if the campaign is configured correctly, it will appear only to potential customers. For example, if they advertised goods from a small town in Moscow, it would be strange. It makes no sense to show the publication to everyone, the virus can only work among a certain group of users.

How to add someone else's ad to your video

To include third-party videos in your video for the purpose of making money, you need to go to the YouTube Video Manager. In the "Monetization" tab, you can create several advertising breaks.


Under the video on the right, click the "video manager" button
The first step is to accept the terms of the affiliate program. An application for video monetization is considered up to 7 days, and you will be notified of its result by email.

What to do if your video doesn't show ads

Campaigns can only be created for channel owners with videos that have more than 10,000 views. If this requirement is met and the ad does not fall under the concept of "prohibited advertising", you need to contact the management of YouTube.

Every YouTube channel owner sooner or later thinks about how to insert ads into videos and start making money on them. It's not difficult at all, the main thing is to understand the Google Adwords service. However, do not forget that the video quality should not be affected! When chasing money, be careful not to overdo it.
