Do you know that YouTube.com only pays when your videos are actually approved and are set to be monetized.
And that means you are NOT going to get paid if your videos are not monetized and/OR no viewer get on the advertisement part
Means if you get 50 thousand views on your one video and no one clicked on the advertisement link, etc.; you are exactly NOT going to get the payment for your views.
It is so mandatory to have viewers to see you ads., etc.
And most people do think having the YouTube channel is totally equal to having the dollars showering every single day.
So then…
Comes the second measurement where the two parameters are used that allow to let YouTubers earn and to get paid;
For the numbers of adverts views (in the general words called us hits or views when your monetized video receive.)
And in the technical language, it is called CPM (or Cost Per Thousand.)
Thousand?
What is thousand to do in here?
Well, that thousand is the real tiger in here.
YouTube tracks every single views which your monetized video is receiving (yes, it can certainly do track it!)
When the 1,000 views are hit by your video, YouTube then is eligible to pay you against that views.
But wait…
YouTube will not pay you US$50.00 or US$10.00 or US$150.00 for those one thousand views and not any exact amount in the dollars.
It will actually pay you depending upon the niches (the topics) accordingly and differently.
Means if you are up into having the YouTube channel that is stringed with the health’s niche, and then you see your friend having his channel made into the news related item; you both will get paid totally different.
That is the pay grade YouTube pay you with; and that varies niche to niche.
So, you might be getting US$5.00 per 1,000 views and your friend might be getting paid US$8.00 per 1,000 views for his video.
The number of advert clicks;
That is the second payment parameter that you would get out of your monetized videos.
And it is CPC. The cost per click.
Cost per click means you will be paid for every click.
What makes the CPC?
Well, as it is Cost Per Click (CPC), your video will be hosting the advertisement link placed into the format of the text/image.
And the major advert hosting company is the Google AdSense which is the property of Google, Inc. and that is the parent company of Youtube.
So, the channel owners can apply for the Google AdSense program anytime and the advert system can be integrated easily into the videos.
Then comes the paying part out of the Google AdSense-backed advertisements.
Folks, listen (or read) to this first…
Just like CPM (cost per thousand), CPC is not so different as well.
The paying factor will definitely be different for every single click; based upon the location of the person clicked + the niche of the video/and the channel.
Let’s assume the adv. link out of your video is clicked by the person coming from U.S.A and your channel’s niche is sports.
Let’s again assume that the clicks coming from U.S.A for the sports-related videos may earn the YouTuber US$3.00 per click (just an estimate.)
Then a click coming from Phillipines for the same niche (sports) may get the YouTuber to earn a measly US$0.50 (just an estimate.)
The big and major paying difference and the caliber here is the location of the clickers.
How much money a YouTuber can make in 2024?
That wasn’t the real question, nope?
Yeah, it was.
And to answer it…
From just zero TO thousands TO millions of dollar in a month; and that is quite the fact!
There is no joking in it…
You know one can make a zero, right?
And you then might have checked and knew the few folks over YouTube who are well-settled, and look to be rich.
Yeah, they are actually rich in the real. And YouTube did make them the rich (and continuing to…)
All was required by them to become something was the time and passion which they devotionally spent in all these years when we are doing nothing..

The different avenues of money making systems a YouTuber can employ
Not just one or two but there are a lot more!
Let me quickly list different ways of earning for you;
- CPM – Cost per thousand
- CPC – Cost per click
- Affiliate Links
- Promote your own products and the services
CPM – Cost per thousand
You need ads. enabled for that to work.
As it is said before, the money is made (ding! You got the money!) when your video has received 1,000 views.
And the money range is different; due to your niche/topic and the location of the viewers.
You may end up with few dollars to as many dollars it can get you depending again over your niche and the location of who watched your monetized (ad-enabled) video.
The view is mostly counted when the viewer stays for 30 seconds to watch your video.
And Google AdSense is the best available ad. Network if you aim to go in all for the CPM.
CPC – Cost per click
As said earlier, CPC (or cost per click) is the action-based payment methodology.
It is not just like same as CPM (or cost per thousand) where viewers just have to be landed over your video and just actually watch.
Here in the case of CPC, they have to click on the advert links to be able to get you paid with the money.
Just suppose you have the video running with Google AdSense, your video will show the link in a text/image format, and the viewer will actually have to click on it and be on it for some seconds (a click is generally counted against the five seconds-long stay.)
Affiliate links
Now it is more powerful in many ways in earning from Youtube.
And especially in the case of CPM and CPC, it is real powerful than the both.
You get others products to sell through your YouTube channel.
Create the videos, get it into the good details to show the world what good and how good is that product.
Where to get the affiliate links from?
Are you thinking Amazon?
Really?
Do you think if Amazon is the only-left affiliate network you can employ for your videos?
Nope…
Oh sorry… If you already are the affiliate marketer, you would better know about the affiliate thing already and the master of knowing the affiliate networks.
But if you are not (an affiliate marketer), you can actually get the affiliate links from any affiliate network. All you need is the link. The affiliate link!
Notable affiliate networks are;
- Amazon Affiliate Program
- JVZoo
- ClickBank
- ShareASale
- CJ
- LinkShare
- eBay Partner Network
Grab your account from those networks first and then get your affiliate link out of any of those affiliate networks and enjoy the good sales to get the great commissions.
Where to put the affiliate links?
In order to earn much money from Youtube, When you are at the stage of compiling the video’s description, get the affiliate link embedded in the generic way. [This way you can maximise your earnings]
And the little disclaimer into the end of the description that this may contain the affiliate link will actually not ruin you but benefit you that you have already informed the viewers and it leaves the good impression after all. Tht is the exact trustworthy signal.
Just that do not make the video and the description typed in the way that you look alike the salesman but in a sense when the viewers may get the utmost benefit out of the products when they buy.
Depending upon the product you promote with the videos, you may bag few to hundred dollars in the commission with each and every sale that affiliate link will make for you.
What is my commission and where to get it?
It is as per the products’ set rate.
If you are to sell a product worth of US$100.00 right from your video and the commission rate for that particular is 12% which is US$12.00
So, your commission for that sell is US$12.00 and to get it, that is again depend upon your affiliate network as to how they pay you the commission.
For example, it is through PayPal only or your can request the wire transfer (to your bank account) as well as check in your name, or through any other means like 3rd-party sources such as WesternUnion, MoneyGram, etc.
I have also written a dedicated post on How to Start Affiliate marketing. In case if you want to learn more on affiliate marketing, thats the way to go.
Promote your own products and the services
It is the most fun and beneficial part of the YouTube.
Not only for YouTube and for yourself as well.
Here in this case, you are actually up for using the YouTube just for your own business.
You are into the digital marketing, you can solely use your YouTube channel to promote your digital services to get the sales and to spread your knowledge to attract the viewers.
Now if one is into the product-based business, he (or she) can definitely use his (or her) YouTube channel to spread the knowledge to actually promote his (or her) products no matter if you are selling locally or internationally. It is all up to your good self how to sell and if you can employ the delivering part as well.

How much does YouTube pay in 2024?
Now comes the part of Youtube Payment.
Yup, YouTube does take its own share out of your money that you make with your video.
But hey!!…. Do not worry at all.
It will only take its cut from the money which the ads will actually generate.
YouTube will NOT disturb when you have earned the commission through the affiliate networks, and after selling your own products/services.
YouTube is ready to take a good whopping 45% off your ad. revenue.
Means you get to earn out of CPM and CPC (Google AdSense), you are going to pay a good hefty amount to the YouTube.
You get to earn, let’s say, US$900.00 in a month together with CPM and CPC, you are going to pay back US$405.00 due to the 45% share of YouTube and is only going to bag US$495.00 in your pocket.
You earned in December = US$900.00
YouTube’s 45% share = US$405.00
All left for you = US$495.00
So if that (CPM and CPC) is your only income source.. Better to employ some other earning avenues as well, please.
Earning from the affiliates is all up to the affiliate networks and through your own products is again all up to you too.
