YouTube pays Kenyans anywhere between 100-200 Kshs per thousand views. If you can get 1 million views on your video, you&#8217;ll be earning around 200K. There are many different ways you can earn money from YouTube, but there are a few key things you should know.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Earnings\"><\/span>Earnings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a content creator, YouTube offers the chance to earn in Kenya. Each 1,000 views will earn you between 100 and 200 Kshs. A million views will net you over 200K. However, you&#8217;ll need to be authentic. In this case, the more content you post, the more you can earn. Once you&#8217;ve gained enough subscribers, you can begin working on making your YouTube channel a more profitable endeavor.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the traditional video-based income, YouTube users can also earn from sponsored videos. Kenyan content creators are finding success in their respective niches through partnerships with popular brands. Among them is comedian Timothy Kimani, whose channel has over 509,000 subscribers and more than 65 million views. You can check out his videos to learn more about the earning potential of this growing online content platform. In addition, Kenyan artists are promoting their products through YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Subscribers\"><\/span>Subscribers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for ways to earn money from YouTube, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. YouTube pays subscribers in Kenya in a variety of ways, depending on the type of content you have. A video may earn you $1, $2, or more, depending on the quality of the video and how much traffic it receives. YouTube will also split revenue with content creators based on revenue per impression (RPI). For example, Otile Brown&#8217;s Mega Hit Watoto na Pombe has received 2.7 million views, but he may only take home 1.2 million. This is why you should know how much YouTube pays its subscribers in Kenya before trying to make money from YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>A YouTube employee says that the company pays its content creators in Kenya in a ratio of 55:45. However, some content creators earn much more than this, earning as much as Sh1.5 million a month. Other Kenyan content creators make thousands more a month through advertising, reviews, and social media. Some Kenyan content creators even earn Sh800,000 a month by attaching M-Pesa pay bill numbers to their videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AdSense\"><\/span>AdSense<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube AdSense pays in Kenya varies based on the number of page views and revenue per mille (RPM). In general, you can expect to make between $1 and $5 per thousand views, depending on the quality of your video, the number of people watching it, and how many times the ad is clicked. For example, a video with a high RPM rate may earn you up to $7 per thousand views. This means that Otile Brown can earn around Kshs 280,000 if his video receives one million views. But if you&#8217;re just starting out, you might earn less.<\/p>\n<p>In order to start earning from YouTube AdSense in Kenya, you&#8217;ll need to sign up for Google&#8217;s Adsense program. Signing up is free and requires approval from Google. It&#8217;s important to remember that a slow internet connection will make uploading videos frustrating. In Kenya, there are many internet providers, including Safaricom, Airtel, and Zuku. Choose a plan with unlimited data so that you&#8217;ll never run out of data.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Licensing\"><\/span>Licensing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The KFCB is making sharing content on the internet more expensive in Kenya. The new licensing rules take effect May 29. Not getting a license could cost you Ksh100,000 or more. A one-year license costs Ksh12,000, while short films of under 40 minutes must pay Ksh5,000. Despite the new costs, Kenyan YouTubers are not deterred. Here&#8217;s what you need to know.<\/p>\n<p>One way to make money on YouTube is through licensing your content to other platforms and media. When an advertiser uses your content, you will receive a payment from them. Artists and musicians tend to do this better than general content creators, but it can work for any type of creator. Here are some ways to get started. Create content that people will want to watch. Keep in mind that if you have an interesting story to tell, you can make money off of it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shorts_Fund\"><\/span>Shorts Fund<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Shorts Fund is a way for YouTube to pay creators in developing countries like Kenya. The fund distributes money to thousands of creators every month based on the performance of their content the previous month. This is the first time that YouTube will be paying creators in Kenya. In the past, this fund was available only to creators from certain countries. Until now, Kenyans have been paid only for longer videos.<\/p>\n<p>The Shorts Fund is the first step towards monetization of the Shorts format on YouTube. It is a chance for creators to earn money for their work. YouTube Shorts creators have already attracted millions of subscribers. The video format is growing in popularity in Kenya, and the Shorts Fund is a way for creators to get paid for the work they have already done. In addition to the rewards, the Shorts creators can also receive a referral bonus if they have a link to an MCN or a network.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"240\" width=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F7p1v6kbN78\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Does YouTube Pay in Kenya?
