Once your application is approved, your ads will change from public service ads to paying contextual ads, if any are available for the keywords within your blog.

How to Earn Money on YouTube

Many people who use YouTube have seen the YouTube partners who make money from their videos. Many themselves wish to do so as well. Here is how to get started.
 
  1. 1
    Setup and build your YouTube account.



    • Create your account or use your existing one. Add keywords to help people find your channel. Also select a type of account that specifies more of what you do. (i.e - Director accounts are for short film makers and such)
    • Your user name can also work for, or against you. If its short, easy to remember and original people that see your videos will be more apt to remember you. However if you are using an existing account, just stay with it. It doesn't help if you keep changing accounts.
  2. 2
    Add content.


































































    • To get started, begin adding content. Try to upload content that is high quality, and isn't super long. (This option can vary depending on what type of content you decide to upload) Also try to upload regularly and stay consistent with your uploads.
    • Even if your content isn't great at first, keep at it. Practice makes perfect. Try to make each video better than the last. You will often learn as you go.
    • Improve your content by either using a better camera or trying better editing software or techniques. Also try to improve the way things are filmed. Use a tripod, have a friend help you or light your scenes better. It all helps for a better end product which in turn helps you get a better audience.
    • By uploading regularly you can help hold an audience. People are more likely to subscribe if you add content on a more scheduled basis and are consistent in adding content often.
  3. 3
    Gain an audience.
    
    Add caption


    • Keep uploading content and try to get people hooked. Send your video out on Twitter and Facebook. Share it with people. Distribute it elsewhere on the internet. Subscribers are essential to becoming a partner. (While you can get paid by having viral videos, this is extremely rare).
  4. 4
    Become a YouTube partner.

    • Becoming a Partner involves work. Often a lot of it. While anyone can apply, It is best to have over 500 subscribers, upload good content regularly, and have either a viral video or a decent sized audience. YouTube is looking for channels in which they can sell advertising on and make money. They are also looking for channels that won't get them sued. Try to eliminate copyrighted material on your channel and in your videos.
  5. 5
    Setup Google Adsense.

    • You can setup Google Adsense for free at Google.com/adsense. From here you click the "sign up now" button to begin. You must be 18 years or older. IF you are younger than that, you will need an adult to help you. It may be disappointing but this is something you cant fake. You need either PayPal or a bank account and a valid mailing address as well as other information so they can verify who you are and who to send the money to. You only gain money per ad click and a smaller amount per view but it adds up over time. This is why having an audience is key.
  6. 6
    Market your videos elsewhere.

     
     
    • Don't put your videos just on YouTube! Start a blog, make a website or post them on other video or social media sites. The more views it gets, the better. By sharing the link or embedding the video on the internet, you are increasing the chance of it getting noticed and of you making money


How to Earn Money Through Google Adsense

Prior to this point, you may or may not have heard of Google AdSense. If you haven't, it's an ad network that Google has set up to allow Web site owners, bloggers, and others to place ads on their site and make money. Put simply, an ad network is essentially a place that contains ads from companies who are looking to advertise on Web sites. Companies approach ad networks and they ask them to run their ads on sites that are signed up on the ad network
Google AdSense is a flexible, hassle-free way to earn revenue by showing relevant and engaging ads alongside your online content. You can easily show AdSense ads on your website, mobile sites, and site search results
  • 1 - Begin with a Web site or a blog.

  • 2 - Sign up for a Google AdSense account (it's free).

  • 3 - Prepare an ad unit to be posted on your site (color, size, and content you would like to filter).

  • 4 - Place your ad unit on your Web site/blog.

  • 5 - Populate your Web site/blog with content.

  • 6 - Promote your Web site/blog and make money from ad clicks/ad views.

  •  

    Creating an Ad Unit

    1. 1
      Sign into your AdSense account. Go to AdSense, and click on My ads in the upper left.


      • Create a new Ad unit. In the main screen area, under Content > Ad units, click the +New ad unit button.

    2. 2
      Name your ad unit. This can be any name that suits you, but many find creating a standard naming format helps them manage large amounts of data.
      • For example, using [target site for the ad]_[ad size]_[ad date] is one approach, that would look like this: mywebsite.com_336x280_080112. Whatever format you decide to use for naming, make that your standard.
    3. 3
      Pick a size. See "How to Do It" below for details, but Google has found best practices that generate more clicks.
    4. 4
      Set your ad type. This determines the types of ads you will see on your website: text only; text and image/rich media; and image/rich media only.
    5. 5
      Create a custom channel. A custom channel lets you group ad units however you choose, such as by size or location on a page.
      • You can track performance by custom channel, and turn your channel into a targetable ad placement so advertisers can target their ads to your ad units.
    6. 6
      Create your ad style. This lets you choose colors for the various components of an ad: border, title, background, text, and URL. It also lets you choose corner styles, from square to very rounded, a font family, and a default font size.
      • It's good practice to create an ad style that harmonizes with the look and colors of your website.
      • You can use Google's presets, or use your own custom settings. In either case, a sample ad on the right will show you how your ad will appear


    7. 7
      Get the code for the ad. When you're done with the ad setup, either save your ad unit, or click the Save and get code button at the bottom to get the HTML code for your site.
      • If adding code to your site is a puzzle you want help with, click here for Google's code implementation guide.



    How to Design Your Ad Campaign

    1. 1
      Analyze your content. In designing any kind of ad campaign, it's crucial to know who your target is. If you're writing a food blog that caters to single men on a budget, for example, you've narrowed the scope of who you will be appealing to. You've also got a very good focus point for your ads. What are things single men who cook drawn to? Here are some possibilities: dating, cars, movies, politics, and live music.
      • Think about who frequents your website, write down what you feel are the most important characteristics of your viewers.
    2. 2
      Fine tune advertisements. While AdSense will auto-populate your page with what they feel are relevant ads, use their tools to provide tighter controls.
      • Set up channels. Channels are like labels that let you group your ad units your way—by color, category, or pages. By setting up channels, you can get detailed reports on the performance of your ad units, and use that to your advantage. For example:
        • Use one style of ad on one group of pages, and another style on another group. Track and compare the performance of the two styles, and pick the best performer.
        • Compare performance on pages that focus on different things. For example, if your pages about gardening perform better than your pages on cooking, you might consider adding more to your gardening pages.
        • If you have separate domains, set up a channel to track each of them to see which is generating the most clicks.
    3. 3
      Optimize your ad placement and site design. Google has found there are places where ads are more effective, and places where they are less effective.
      • Ads that appear when you first arrive at your page (i.e., "above the fold" as they say in the newspaper world) tend to be more effective than those that are below the fold.
      • Ads on upper left tend to perform much better than ads on the lower right.
      • Ads directly above the primary content, and ads that appear at the bottom of the page and above the footer tend to perform very well.
      • Wider ads are generally more successful, as they are much easier to read.
      • Ads that display images or video perform very well.
      • Using colors that complement your website colors will make them more readable, and so more effective.
    4. 4
      Learn how AdSense works. AdSense automatically sends ads to your site based on a few different criteria:
      • Contextual targeting. AdSense crawlers scan your page, analyze your content, and serve up ads designed match your content. They do this using keyword analysis, word frequency, font size, and the link structure of the web.
      • Placement targeting. This allows advertisers to choose to run their ads on specific subsections of a publisher's website. If your website matches an advertisers criteria, their ad will appear on your page.
      • Interest-based advertising. This lets advertisers reach users based on their interests and the user's previous interactions with them, such as a visit to their website. Google's Ads Preferences Manager allows users themselves to choose their interest categories, which further helps advertisers focus their ad campaigns. This method is good for monetizing your site more efficiently, as it increases the value for advertisers and provides a more relevant experience for users.

    What's it Worth?

    1. 1
      Manage your expectations. When you sign up for AdSense, you'll want to know what kind of revenue can you expect to see. There is a lot that goes into what kind of return you can expect, and managing those things will help you maximize your earning potential.
    2. 2
      Traffic. First and formost, in order to generate any kind of revenue from AdSense you must have people clicking on your ads. In order for this to happen, you need to have people on your site, reading your content! Whether you have a business website, or a personal blog, the rule is the same: Get the word out!
      • Heavily trafficked large sites can see over a million hits a day, whereas a blog might feel lucky if they have 100 visitors a day.
      • For every thousand page impressions (views) you receive, you may earn from $.05 to $5. Yes, that's a broad range—over a month, that is between $1.50 and $150.00! Where in that range you can expect to frequent depends entirely on you, your site, and your promotion efforts.
    3. 3
      Cost Per Click (CPC). This paid every time somebody clicks an ad on your page. No, you can't click your own ad—Google will see this, and shut you down so fast your head will spin. The advertisers set the price for these ads, and they can vary greatly.
      • An advertiser may spend a lot on a per-click basis, but that ad may generate very little interest on your site. #*An ad that may generate $.03 per click may get 100 hits, but that doesn't add up to much.
    4. 4
      Clickthrough Rate (CTR). This is the percentage of visitors to your site compared to how many them actually clicked on an ad. If 100 people came to your site, and 1 of them clicked an ad, your CTR is 1%, and that's not an unreasonable number. You can see how getting more traffic to your site will really make a difference.
    5. 5
      Revenue per 1000 impressions (RPM). This is an estimate of how much you might receive if you have 1000 impressions (page views).
      • If you made, for example, $1 for 100 impressions, your RPM would be $10. There is no guarantee you'll make that, but it's a good way to check the overall performance of your site.
    6. 6
      Content is king. The quality of your content is an important factor in understanding your earning potential. If your site provides rich, compelling content and a great user experience, you will have more interested users. Google's crawlers will also have an easier time determining the type of ad content would best fit on your site. Interested users + targeted ads = $$$
    7. 7
      Start building keyword-rich pages. Liberally seed with well researched, profitable keywords, and get lots of high quality links to your site.
      • If your site is about topics such as debt consolidation, web hosting or asbestos-related cancer, you’ll earn much more per click than if it’s about free puppies.
      • If you concentrate only on top-paying keywords, you’ll face stiff competition. What you want are keywords that are high in demand and low in supply, so do some careful keyword research before you build your pages.
