Monetising YouTube
Discussion
Is anyone on here a YouTube monetisation expert?
My son has a YouTube channel which we monetised a few years ago. We always had problems setting up asdsense, however after it was monetised his videos carried adverts.
We never recieved any money, but as his videos were mainly aimed at kids we didn't expect much clicking on adverts. It just happned to come up last night any it turns out he has 1000's of views on some of them, and google will pay per 1000 views.
Checking on the linked adsense account it seems the account had been deactivated by google.We went back through the set up process and again had many problems (for one thing google were changing the log in email address), but we finally got it working
My question is has my son accumulated any payments if the linked adsense account wasn't active? If not it seems he's missed out on a few thousand pounds

I may be very wrong but if it was me I would be looking to get sponsorship of my videos or channel from companies / products that might be featured.
I am thinking of posting some cooking videos.not likely to generate many views.I will approach the kitchen supplier. The tile supplier and the distributors of the products I use.I am hoping that after a while that I can be featured by those companies.whilst in the process of researching this I saw that one potential partner company who are pretty much a household name have a website that is very very basic.I will be approaching them to improve this.
So it is all what you make of it.earnings need not just come from views alone.
Hope I made a little sense.

These two statements don't really seem to go together.How many total views has the channel had?
He has about 70 videos, some of them have 50k views each.

If there's any music in the videos and he didn't deal with a copyright claim on them I think they automatically take off the link to the monetising. And as said, the payout rates are minute until you're into the hundreds of thousands viewers.
I believe he's had a couple of warnings in the early days for a music track he used in a background, and possibly a collection of stills he put into a compilation. On checking last night we found 1 video of his chinchilla running around that they asked him to prove he has copyright for!KFC said:
If the videos are of random junk like a Chinchilla running around then 'a few thousand pounds' is extremely optimistic. Its completely untargeted, the ads they can run against something like are going to be extremely low value.
Apparently you get paid per view as well, some of the videos have 50k views98elise said:

But the price you earn is directly tied to the value of the content.If you have videos explaining how to do forex trading they're going to be worth a fortune. There is a very clear path for advertisers to monetise this.
If you have videos of a chinchilla rolling around on your kitchen floor, who do you see as your target advertiser here? There isn't one really... all you can do is get lower paying branding ads that are willing to just plaster their ad everywhere at rock bottom prices.

1000s of views on a vid? On Youtube? Probably earned about 2p.My son has a YouTube channel which we monetised a few years ago. We always had problems setting up asdsense, however after it was monetised his videos carried adverts.

Best way to monetise this kind of thing is striking a deal with a company to advertise their product(s) in your vids but that takes effort that most people can't be arsed with and youtube also have specific rules about it which basically amounts to them having a good cry because you're getting the ad revenue instead of them so they try to put lots of hurdles in the way.
If your channel is more entertainment based than product based then you won't go far wrong with Patreon. I know someone personally that posts gameplay content and after only 4 years posting YT vids has now been able to give up work and live off the Patreon donations. 102k YT subscribers and his content is mediocre imho but he's built up a healthy fanbase.
