This thread was inspired by this quote...

I guess this is a thing on YouTube? :patrice:


These bytches are caking :skip: with those views she's probably pulling in 10 G's a month. My boy has a fitness channel with 10,000 views a video and he's doing about $40 a day.

My niigga @L&HH mentioned youtube as a side hustle a while ago, I heard Tariq Nasheed say he made $6K off of one youtube video. Not only that but I keep seeing youtube channels of the people that I follow and they literally do youTube as their job now. Some people are smart enough to sell merchandise from their channel as well to add an additional revenue stream.

Does anybody know exactly how much people make from youTube? How much do people get paid off of 1,000 views and how much do they get in ad revenue?

i think it depends what kind of videos you make i dont think everyone get's the same pay for 1k views. if you decide to make a youtube channel you have to other ways to monetize your viewers i think the glory days of caking of only youtube days are over alot of people use adblocker

You're right, there is no standard. It varies from how many views you get and the type of videos you do. Googles advertising system makes advertisers bid for ad placements. Not that many ppl use Adblock, adblock actually makes online advertising more efficient because the ppl who use it weren't going to buy anything based on ads anyways. Now advertisers don't lose money on wasted clicks.

You get paid based on views, likes/comments, and also whether or not your viewers are clicking on ads and buying stuff.

You can obviously make money from it. The market looks kinda saturated though.

One person i know who makes consistent youtube cash hunts for views. They hop on whatever topic is trending, make a video around it, then promote it. You can also try the spamming vids route too.

You can make money doing pretty much anything. But i suggest you look at it as a project and not a job if you want to become successful. Don't focus too much on the money. Try to think outside of the box and bring the viewers something they actually want to see.

I think dudes like Chris Smoove are pulling in like 6 figures a year. :manny:

I'm gonna hop on that as soon as I get my PS4 and elgato. I'm not going into expecting blow up and make money though. Just as a side hustle maybe.:manny:

I was asking if you guys knew specifics about how youtube pays content creators. Not just conjecture or hearsay.

After watching how successful "Money and Violence" was if you can create unique and interesting content then you can draw viewers. I just want to have an idea of how much youtube pays.
