Does anyone here many any $ from uploaded youtube videos?

By teal_dx
- Tue Feb 14, 2012 2:17 pm #294861 I signed up a while back for the monetized ads on my youtube videos (the ones that pop up on the bottom and you have to click the [x] to make them go away).

Yeah they're kind of annoying but I just looked at my account for the first time in a while and they're earning me about $50/mo :woot:

Most of my uploads are misc vids of our cats or offroading or track vids.

If anyone had a decent collection of videos they have shot, I recommend you get started with the monetized ads :thumb: I hopet to see other members earn some extra $$ as well - it couldn't be easier!

This thread can be the official thread for questions, progress and updates on this topic.

Not at all. I think there might be a way you can pay to have your video as a "featured video" and appear higher up or at the top of the results, but I've never done that or looked into it.

You'll need to buy a camera and have a computer/software to edit the videos if you want to. Or you can upload them straight to youtube without editing them. You can use your phone's camera too & upload straight to youtube if it's an iphone/android or other phone with a good camera.

- Wed Feb 15, 2012 12:52 am #294955 you must be getting quite a few views. i have it on one that has like 800 hits, which isn't anything..

if i monetize all my vids will it get them more hits? what happens if one of your vids has "illegal" background music and it happens to go viral..?? :lol:

and btw, is there any way to pick the screenshot of your video besides the 3 they let you choose from??

Most of mine are under 1k hits but I have a handful over 1k and a few around 5k, a couple around 10k and one of the cat videos at 150k+

I have not found that monetizing increases views or hits. Keywords and a good screen shot help though. I don't think there is a way to pick a screen shot other than the 3 they give yo to pick from.

If you have any copyrighted material in your upload, don't monetize it. I heard they can cancel your account :shock:

We all should make a Civic compilation video, that will get a lots of views!

It was like a minute long so hope it earns you something good!
