But there are also other ways to make money on YouTube, including Skippable video ads, Direct monetization, and MCNs. In this article, we&#8217;ll explore the most popular ways to earn from your YouTube videos. And we&#8217;ll touch on a few of the less obvious ones as well.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ad_revenue_is_the_most_obvious_way_to_make_money_on_YouTube\"><\/span>Ad revenue is the most obvious way to make money on YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best ways to make money on YouTube is by selling ads on your videos. Many marketers would love to have millions of eyeballs watching their product. But before you can begin selling ads, you need to build up your audience. To earn a living on YouTube, you will need to start a channel, upload high-quality videos, and promote it to attract subscribers. After you&#8217;ve gathered a large audience, you can enable monetization on your account and become a YouTube partner.<\/p>\n<p>Other ways to earn money on YouTube include promoting products or services. Although promoting products or services may be tempting, it is important to disclose these details to your audience. You also want to comply with YouTube&#8217;s rules about advertising. Super Chat is a new way to monetize your channel. This feature allows viewers to buy and pin chat messages to the top of the comment section. Super Chat can also be used to monetize your live streams.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Direct_monetization\"><\/span>Direct monetization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best ways to monetize a YouTube channel is to sell products to your audience. This is particularly effective if you have a large audience, but you can make a decent income even with a smaller following. To sell a product, you can sign up with a company or an affiliate program in your niche and promote the products that they offer to your audience. These companies pay you a certain amount of money for every sale you make.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to monetize a YouTube video is to become an AdSense partner. By becoming an AdSense partner, you&#8217;ll earn up to 55% of the revenue generated by the ads on your video. The average charge is 18 cents per view, so a video with a thousand views at a 10% viewership would generate $18. Depending on how much your audience views your videos, this can add up quickly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MCNs\"><\/span>MCNs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using MCNs for getting paid on YouTube can help you build your channel and diversify your income. These companies can provide a variety of services, such as ensuring your content is up-to-date and incorporating copyright-protected material. They can also help you manage your advertising profits. Ultimately, though, you will need to decide which type of service suits you best. Some of the best options are outlined below.<\/p>\n<p>MCNs for getting paid on YouTube were first introduced by Rhett and Link back in 2007. They cold-called companies for sponsorships and got 1.7 million views. At the time, $20 CPMs were unprecedented. The industry standard was $2.50 CPM and a lot of MCNs would sell unrealistic promises like $10 CPM. Moreover, these companies lacked exclusive data. Therefore, smaller creators were stuck with MCN contracts, paying 15% of ad revenue for nothing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Skippable_video_ads\"><\/span>Skippable video ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s non-skippable video ads have a limit of 15 seconds, but can be skipped by users. One popular form of non-skippable video ads are bumper ads, which last for just six seconds. They include a small countdown or message that states the length of the ad, such as &#8220;watch the video before it ends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although advertisers are aware of the large proportion of users who skip their ads, non-skippable video ads are still worth the price. Advertisers will get a higher engagement and watch rate if users must watch the entire video. In May, TubeMogul reported that five percent of all ad spend is spent on YouTube. Its CEO said: &#8220;We&#8217;re going to continue to work hard to make YouTube a safe place for advertisers to run their ads.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Merchandise\"><\/span>Merchandise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can get paid on YouTube for your merchandise sales if you have at least 10,000 subscribers. If you have an established following, you can link to other third-party stores to sell your merchandise. You can also sell stickers and t-shirts with your logo or slogan. Many subscribers enjoy watching videos that feature funny taglines or slogans. To get paid on YouTube, you have to be famous enough to attract the right type of audience.<\/p>\n<p>The average conversion rate for selling merchandise on YouTube is 1.33%. It may vary a lot, depending on your salesmanship, design, and pricing, among other things. To increase your chances of making money on YouTube, set goals and follow a systematic approach. Keeping a log of your income and expenses is essential to your success. Keep track of every detail of each sale and follow it up regularly. Don&#8217;t forget to add a note to your video explaining the reasons why the item is selling well.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"215\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qFdaG6B5C1c\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"384\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Get Paid on YouTube?
