This estimates your earnings before Youtube's cut. (Although YouTube traditionally kept its share of advertising income secret, it is now common knowledge that Google keeps 45% of YouTube advertising revenue. So you receive 55% of every dollar paid by advertisers) The estimated earnings that the average YouTube creator could expect to receive from ads on a new video on their channel if EVERYBODY watched the ad on their video and the advertiser paid the average $7.60 CPM is 55% x $7.60, equaling $4.18 per 1,000 views.

It has taken a while for internet marketing to really catch on, but now it is of major importance to brands. Companies spend considerable sums on internet advertising, particularly on platforms such as Google Adsense. Although Google keeps a chunk, the rest goes to website owners who place Adsense ads on their web pages and blogs.

The largest website of all, according to Alexa, is Google itself. The second largest site (since April 2016) is YouTube. So it is probably no surprise that YouTube is very important to Google in terms of AdSense revenue. It has to be remembered, of course, that Google owns YouTube, doubling its importance as an advertising platform. Possibly this is the reason why Google has different rules for AdSense on YouTube compared to AdSense on other video platforms.

Steps to Follow to enable Monetization of Your Videos

You cannot just post a video on YouTube and hope it earns you cash - this would not work even if you were lucky enough for the video to go viral. There are a few steps you have to do before YouTube allows you to monetize your videos

Enable your account for monetization - this is ticking a monetization option in your YouTube account, and agreeing to the YouTube monetization agreement
Connect your channel to an AdSense account - either create a new AdSense account or attach this YouTube channel to an existing account you have
Review video criteria and ad formats - YouTube will only allow you to monetize what they consider "advertiser-friendly" videos. This means you cannot charge for videos showing violence or nudity, and in particular, you agree that your videos are not breaking any copyright laws (you need to be particularly careful when using background music). You also get to choose which types of ads you want, e.g. display ads around your video, overlay videos, skippable video ads, or a number of other types)
Set up either a single video or specific multiple videos to be monetized.

Once you have done these steps, and been accepted for monetization by YouTube, get busy making and promoting videos. You will need to create a large collection of well-promoted videos to start making any decent level of income.

How do you increase your YouTube earnings?

There are multiple ways you can make money on YouTube. However, all require that you first build a sizable, engaged audience, so that needs to be your primary goal before you try to monetize your channel. Some of the ways you can increase your YouTube earnings include:
Promoting affiliate links in your videos
Joining up as a YouTube Partner and earning money from ads
Using crowdfunding to make money
Optimizing your YouTube channel for sales

Why are my YouTube earnings decreasing?

There are several reasons why your YouTube earnings could be decreasing, and much of it has to do with the quality of your channel content. For a start, YouTube periodically changes its rules. Check to see that ads still appear on your videos, and you haven't lost the right to have them there. Secondly, check to see that you are still producing the types of content your fanbase love. Thirdly, your content may simply be out of season currently, e.g., snowboarding videos in summer.

Is YouTube good for earning money?

YouTube can be a highly lucrative way to earn money, but you have to work hard to ensure success. For a start, you need at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours over the last year before you become eligible to join the YouTube Partner Program. Once you reach that minimum, you can begin to receive ads on your videos. However, you can also earn money in other ways, such as selling merchandise, fan funding, and working with brands as an influencer or affiliate.

Do YouTubers still get paid when you skip ads?

YouTubers generally don't get paid if you skip ads, although there are some exceptions. Traditionally, advertisers pay YouTube per engagement (usually somebody watching an ad for at least 30 seconds). If a viewer skips before this time, YouTube doesn't charge the advertiser or pay the YouTuber. If they click on the ad, the YouTuber gets paid. There are now non-skippable bumper ads of six seconds, charged on a CPM basis, i.e., per thousand views. They count if a viewer watches for at least 2 seconds.
