## Summary

The video debunks three common myths about YouTube monetization: needing a million subscribers, posting daily, and money rolling in automatically. It explains the YouTube Partner Program's two-tier system, how ad revenue works, and the differences between long-form and Shorts monetization.

### Key Points

- **Three Lies About Monetization** [00:09] — Lie 1: You need a million subscribers to make real money. Lie 2: You must post daily to get monetized. Lie 3: Money rolls in automatically after monetization.
- **YouTube Partner Program as a Building with Two Doors** [01:45] — Door 1 (Fan Support): 500 subscribers + 3,000 watch hours (or 3 million Shorts views in 90 days). Unlocks Super Thanks, Super Chat, Super Stickers, and channel memberships. Door 2 (Ad Revenue): 1,000 subscribers + 4,000 watch hours (or 10 million Shorts views in 90 days). Unlocks ad revenue sharing.
- **How Ad Revenue Works** [04:57] — YouTube acts as an ad manager via Google AdSense. Advertisers pay YouTube, YouTube takes 45%, creator gets 55%. Example: $10 ad payment per 1,000 views yields $5.50 for the creator.
- **Long-Form vs Shorts Monetization** [08:40] — Long-form: 4,000 watch hours, ads before/during/after, RPM $3-$30. Shorts: 10 million views in 90 days, no individual ads, RPM $0.05-$0.10. Shorts views don't count toward long-form watch hours.
- **CPM and RPM Explained** [11:54] — CPM (cost per mille) is what advertisers pay per 1,000 views. RPM (revenue per mille) is what creator takes home after YouTube's cut. RPM varies by niche: finance $15-$25, cat videos $1-$3.
- **How to Check Your CPM and RPM** [14:12] — In YouTube Analytics, go to Content, select a video, then Revenue tab. Example given: CPM $15.42, RPM $8.81 for a tech tutorial video.
- **What Drives High RPMs** [17:47] — High RPM niches: money/finance, real estate, business, investing, health, parenting, career, legal, medical, insurance. Low RPM niches: pure entertainment, gaming (unless hardware reviews), general vlogs, music covers, meme compilations.
- **Realistic Timeline to Monetization** [19:56] — Months 1-3: learning curve (15-100 views/video, ~10 subscribers). Months 4-8: momentum (200-500 views, 300-400 subscribers). Months 9-18: breakthrough window (likely hit 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours). Month 18+: paycheck phase (consistent monthly income).
- **YouTube as Compound Interest** [24:04] — Videos accumulate views over years. Creator still earns from videos posted in 2019. Consistency and strategic niche selection are key.

### Conclusion

YouTube monetization is achievable with strategic niche selection and consistency, but the Partner Program is just one of many income streams. Creators should explore brand sponsorships, affiliate marketing, and digital products for greater earning potential.

## Transcript

I think there are three lies that
potentially could keep you from moving
closer to having a monetized channel on
YouTube. Let me define what they are.
Number one, you need a million
subscribers to actually make real money.
Well, that's false. Number two, you need
to post a video every single day to get
your channel monetized.
Also false. And then lie number three is
once your channel gets monetized, money
just rolls in automatically.
That one is definitely false. Now, I
share those because I have gotten
comments about all three of those things
from my viewers multiple times. So, I
thought, let's just confront those kind
of things head-on and just explain
exactly how this whole getting your
channel monetized and what it means in a
big picture works. There's an actual
system that YouTube uses to decide who
gets paid and how much for what kind of
videos. By the end of this video, I want
you to have a clearer picture of how
YouTube monetization actually works and
how you can build in that kind of system
as you build your own channel. So, let's
get into it. Hey, if we haven't met, my
name is Diane. I'm in my mid-50s and
I've started this YouTube channel to
help my fellow folks who are over the
age of 40 to have opportunities for more
impact, influence, and hopefully more
income online. And one of the best ways
to do that is with a YouTube channel.
So, YouTube monetization, let's get into
the details. First things first, YouTube
just does not hand out paychecks to
anyone who uploads a video to YouTube.
Wouldn't that be nice? There is a
gatekeeper system that you have to rise
to the established levels to be able to
get into it and that's called the
YouTube partner program. So you can
think of the YouTube partner program
sort of like a building with two doors
into it. You have to unlock each door
with specific keys before you can see
what's behind those doors. So the first
door you'll get to I'll refer to as the
fan support door. That first door
requires two keys. That's 500
subscribers on your channel and 3,000
accumulated watch hours that you've got
in the last 12 months. If you're only
making shorts, that's a little bit
different, and I'll get to that in a
minute. So, when you unlock door number
one, we'll get to what we'll call
fanpowered income. And fanpowered income
would include things like super thanks.
And this is a button that appears under
your videos where viewers can like give
you a tip on your videos of $2, $5, $10,
$50 just to say thank you for the
content that they enjoyed watching. So,
think of it like a digital tip jar. Then
you also have super chat and super
stickers. If you live stream on YouTube,
viewers have the opportunity to kind of
highlight their message in the chat, and
they can do that by paying some money
through a super chat option. You might
think of it as somebody who decides to
buy a round of drinks at a party just
because they kind of want to get
everybody's attention.
It's probably not that expensive,
though. Door number one unlocks channel
membership options, so viewers can pay
like $4.99 a month to become a member of
a channel. You can set that admission
price of whatever number you want, but I
I see $4.99 as kind of being the general
choice. So, with that membership, people
pay and you can give them access to
exclusive content, to live streams with
you, to early access to things. So,
these initial things that you get by
unlocking that door number one, it's
actually real money. It may not add up
really quickly, but it does give you
your foot into the door into the YouTube
partnership program. These options that
come with door number one are real
money. I don't want you to dismiss it,
but the reality check is there's not a
whole lot of income potential that comes
from this. It really is kind of just
your foot into the door into the first
part of the YouTube partnership program.
Now, door number two is what we'll call
the ad revenue door. And this is the one
where more opportunities really open up
for you. And when somebody says or
thinks, "I want to get my channel
monetized," this is generally what
they're referring to. To unlock door
number two, you need 1,000 subscribers
on your channel and you need an
accumulated 4,000 hours of watch time in
the last 365 days. Or if you're doing
shorts, it's 10 million shorts in 90
days. When you unlock door number two
and get to this level of the program,
this is when YouTube starts to share ad
revenue money with you. We've all seen
the ads that come up on videos. They're
at the beginning, they could be in the
middle, or they show up at the end, too.
Thousands of companies of all different
types pay YouTube for the option to show
their ads on your videos. When that
happens and you're part of the YouTube
partner program, then YouTube will give
you 55% of the money that they receive
for those ads. So, let's talk about
where that ad money actually comes from
because I kind of think that that's
where a lot of the confusion happens on
this topic. Imagine your YouTube video
is a billboard, but it's not a billboard
on a country road. is actually a
billboard on one of the busiest
interstates that's in your community.
You've created something that's valuable
in your video. Maybe it's a tutorial or
a pretty riveting story or really
helpful advice or a recipe that
everybody likes, whatever. And because
it's good, people stop scrolling and
they hit the video and they're watching
it. And that is valuable to YouTube and
to the companies that pay to advertise
on it. Now, companies can see that
people are watching your billboard or
your video and they want to put their
advertisement on it, but you don't have
time to call all these companies and
negotiate rates. So, YouTube in essence
becomes your ad manager for this. That
manager specifically is Google AdSense.
The premise here is that Google AdSense
goes out and finds advertisers. They're
sort of saying, "Hey, we've got an
amazing creator here who has a channel
that people love to watch about home
organization tips. you seem to have
products that go along with home
organization. Do you want to advertise
on this channel? The advertiser says
yes. They sign up with AdSense and they
pay for the ads. Then Google AdSense
takes their cut, which is 45% and then
you, the video creator, are left with
the 55% that comes from the payment for
the ads. You didn't have to sell
anything. You didn't have to negotiate
any agreements. You just made the video
and in essence created that billboard.
Let me give you a simple example. Let's
say a company pays $10 to show their ad
on your video. If you get a,000 views on
your video, then AdSense will keep $4.50
of that $10 and you will get $5.50.
Now multiply that by videos that might
potentially get far more than 1,000
views. That number is paid for every
thousand views that comes on your video.
You can see how that can start to build
over time the more views and popular
that your channel gets. Now, with
anything that deals with advertising,
you're not actually selling products
with this. You're renting attention.
And the beautiful part about having a
monetized YouTube channel is that you do
the work once and then that video has
the capacity to keep pulling in views
for months or even years while you sleep
and travel and do all the things in your
life because you made the video. You put
it on YouTube and it has the capacity to
keep earning for you. All right, I want
to give a little adjustment as to how
YouTube shorts work within all that
because I know I have a lot of viewers
that are concentrating on building a
channel that's much more based on
shorts. Now, anytime you're on YouTube,
you see shorts everywhere. They're a big
thing that they're pushing. They're a
big thing that people are creating
because vertical video is something that
people really enjoy consuming. We see it
on Tik Tok. We see it on Instagram,
Facebook reels. It's becoming a thing
that more people are moving toward, but
it has very different elements from the
long form or the horizontal videos like
the one you're watching now. And with a
short on YouTube, you might have the
possibility to put up a 30 secondond
clip and all of a sudden you wake up the
next day and you see it has a 100,000
views on it. It's more likely to happen
with a short than it does with a
horizontal long form video. And it might
be, wow, that's a big boost. But I just
want you to be aware that shorts and
long form videos live in two very
completely different worlds when it
comes to monetizing your YouTube
channel. All right, let's break it down.
For long- form videos, and again,
they're the ones that are horizontal and
they're over 60 seconds long. You need
4,000 watch hours to monetize. Ads have
the capacity to play before, during, and
after your video. You earn 55% of the ad
revenue. And the RPM, I'll define that
term a little bit more later, but in
short, it's the revenue per mill, which
is a fancy way to say a,000. Your RPM
can range from $3 to $30 depending on
the niche and the topic of your video.
Now, it's all different with YouTube
Shorts. You need 10 million views on
Shorts in 90 days to monetize. Yeah, you
heard me right. 10 million views. Ads
don't play on individual short videos.
Instead, YouTube pulls all the ad
revenue from the short stream that
somebody might be watching and then
splits it among the creators that showed
up there. That's based on views and then
also music licensing, which is a big
deal with shorts often times. You
typically earn much less per view
compared to long form content. And your
RPM might be anywhere from like 5 cents
to 10 cents per 1,000 views. But here's
something I really want you to be aware
of. You can kind of get excited and get
somewhere like a a half a million views
on your shorts and still be nowhere
close to unlocking the ad revenue you
need to get into the YouTube partner
program that you've been building with
your long form videos because those
shorts do not count at all towards your
4,000 watch hours. That's a big thing to
understand and I think it's a big thing
that people had the potential of missing
with this. So, what should you do if
you're a little bit more focused on
having the vertical shorter videos than
the YouTube shorts? They do absolutely
have their place. I think shorts are
really good for introducing your content
to different viewers than what your long
form content might get to. I think
they're good for teasing your long form
content. You can make a short that's
sort of like carved out of your longer
form content, link that longer form
video to it, and send the short out on
its own. and shorts I think are helpful
to build your subscriber number overall.
But if your goal is to make consistent
monthly income from your YouTube
channel, it's going to be a whole lot
harder to get to the place where you can
start doing that with shorts than it
will be with long form content. You
might want to think that your long- form
videos are actually your money makers,
but your shorts are kind [clears throat]
of like your marketing team. Make sense?
All right. Right now, we're going to get
to the part of YouTube monetization,
which I think is probably has the
highest potential to be the most
confusing. So, I'm going to do my best
to try and just explain this to you. If
you've watched any videos about YouTube
monetization, you're often going to see
a creator that's kind of like bellowing
about the kind of money that they're
making with their kind of channel. And
you might see a creator who says that he
has 50,000 views on a on a video and he
made $2,000 from it. then you might
eventually get into the program and have
a video that takes off and it gets
50,000 views and you might make $125
from it. What happened? Did YouTube scam
you? Nope. It's just kind of how it
works. It comes down to two acronyms.
The RPM, like I described a little while
ago, and CPM.
So, what do these mean? CPM is the cost
per mill. And again, mill just means
a,000 views. The CPM is what advertisers
are willing to pay you when your video
is shown to your audience. The RPM is
the revenue per mill, and that's the
amount that you actually take home after
YouTube takes their cut out of it.
Here's what I need you to really
understand.
Not all videos have the capacity to make
the same amount of money. So, let me try
and explain this with a couple different
examples.
Say your YouTube video is a finance and
career-based channel. You make videos
about retirement planning, about
investment for beginners, about smart
home budgeting. Your viewers are
probably have a higher chance of being
financially stable, of being decision
makers who put some research into things
before they do it. And there's probably
a good chance that a lot of them are
homeowners. Advertisers in the financial
industries or real estate or insurance
might be willing to pay somewhere
between $20, $30, even up to $50 to get
in front of your audience. That means
your RPM, your revenue per mill might
end up being like between $15 and $25.
Now, let's look at the other side of the
spectrum and say that you have a YouTube
video that is a lot of videos of your
cat doing what you think is very funny
things. Your viewers are there for the
entertainment and there's absolutely
nothing wrong with that. But advertisers
who might be willing to pay to get on a
funny cat video might be a little bit
more towards mobile game and gambling
companies or their snack brands or
they're pretty low ticket impulse buys
as somebody might have. That means they
might only pay between $2 and $5 for
a,000 views. your RPM, your take-home
pay per,000 views might be between $1
and $3.
Same number of views, wildly different
YouTube paychecks.
So, if your channel is monetized, you
can go on every one of your videos and
see what the CPM and the RPM are. Let me
just show you quickly how to do that.
Just once you're in YouTube analytics,
you go to content, you choose a
particular video. You go to that video's
analytics, and then you go to the
revenue tab. Here's a look at one of my
videos that I posted in mid January of
this year. The CPM, how much advertisers
pay for a,000 views on it, is $1542.
The RPM, how much I actually earn from
a,000 views on it, is $8.81.
Honestly, this might be a little bit
below average for me. Generally, the CPM
for my videos, which is usually on
YouTube or tech or AI tutorials or
something like that, is usually a little
closer to the $20 range. But I'm going
to tell you a secret. The amount of
money that I make through the YouTube
partner program is one of the smallest
income streams that I have with my
channel. Honestly, I think it could be
the same way for you, too. Hey, I'm
jumping in here while I'm editing this
video because I want to encourage you.
Monetizing your channel through the
YouTube Partner Program is an awesome
goal, and I know it's one that so many
of my viewers have met and they're doing
well. But I want to encourage you that
there are so many ways to be able to
earn with an a YouTube channel.
Honestly, for me, YouTube monetization
is pretty low on the list of the options
that I'm pursuing right now with the
actual income that's coming in. So,
because I wanted to just be clear and
provide a lot of good information for
you, I wrote an ebook on this topic.
It's called The YouTube Plan That
Finally Clicked. My subtitle is a
step-by-step guide to turning consistent
content into opportunity because that's
what I've tried to do with this channel,
and I'm really kind of seeing some fair
amount of success with. So, I talk about
lots of different ways you can do it
with uh brand sponsorships, with
affiliate marketing, with digital
products, and several other ones. And
then I go into lots of different niche
examples too of lots of different topics
that your your content might be about
and then ways that you can tie those
income generating opportunities into
them. So I really want to encourage you
not to get stuck in the idea of wow okay
I want to monetize my channel and and
that's it because you'd really be
missing out on so many opportunities. I
have a QR code on the screen if you're
watching on a TV. It's easy to just scan
that and take a look or I have it linked
actually in two places below. I'd love
for you to take a look because I think
it could benefit if you have on your
mind that you want to earn with your
YouTube channel. Don't be locked in to
just this YouTube partner program. It's
great, but it is so small compared to
all the opportunities that exist. I hope
you take a look. So, the main point I
want to make with all this is to help
you understand that what you choose as a
niche for your videos and even the
specific topics that you'll choose with
your videos really affect the amount
that you'll get paid through the YouTube
partner program. But the niche is kind
of what makes the biggest difference in
it. A channel about budgeting, about
home management, about health care,
career development or investing. All of
those kind of things are always going to
earn pretty big amount more per view
than a channel that is about your cats
or gaming or just kind of general
entertainment and you sitting and just
shooting the breeze. It is not about
being boring. It's not about being the
topics that maybe people are going to be
the most drawn to. It's really
understanding what advertisers value the
most and the topics that they're going
to be able to pay and drawing in an
audience that these advertisers think
are ready to pull out their credit card
and buy the services that are in the
ads. So, just to help your big picture
understanding of this, here's what
drives high RPMs. Topics related to
money, finance, real estate, business,
investing. Topics related to major life
decisions, health, parenting, and career
type things. topics with an audience
that has purchasing power and topics in
regulated industries like legal,
medical, and insurance. Here are the
channel niches that typically have lower
RPMs,
pure entertainment content,
gaming, unless it's gaming, hardware
reviews,
general vlogs, and here's what I do in a
day, music covers,
and then just compiling a whole bunch of
memes that you think are funny. So, the
good news about this is that you get to
choose. You can go into it eyes wide
open and have a channel that's maybe a
little bit more hobby and you don't care
if you make a lot of money through the
YouTube partner program, but you enjoy
doing it and it's really a bright spot
in your day to work on your YouTube
channel. There is absolutely nothing
wrong with that. But if you are wanting
to build and develop a channel that has
the potential to earn more through the
YouTube partner program, you kind of
have to make some strategic choices
about a niche. If you have experience
and knowledge in one of those higher
value topics, then get yourself set for
success and talk about that a little bit
more and hopefully be reaching some of
those higher paid niches. All right. If
you're nosy about what somebody might be
earning from a YouTube channel, there
are a couple places online where you can
at least get a ballpark idea of how much
they might be earning per month in the
YouTube partner program. I can't vouch
for exactly how accurate they are. And
when I look at the numbers that are
associated with my channel, I think I
don't really think that's right. But I
will say, okay, if we're talking general
ballpark, it's close enough. Here's
those two sites. One is socialblade.com
and the other is viewstats.com.
All right, let's talk about general
timelines that it might take you to get
to the part where your channel is
monetized by the YouTube partner
program. I want to be encouraging. I
want to be honest and give you a
paradigm that I think could be
realistic.
If you are starting from absolute zero,
here's a timeline that might be what
your future looks like with YouTube.
Months one through three is 100% the
learning curve. You are figuring out
your setup, how you want to have your
camera, the natural light that you want
to get from the window that you sit in
front of to talk. you are kind of
figuring out the topics that come
naturally to you, the topics that you
don't have to think about to talk about,
and you're getting more comfortable with
just being on camera and how you want to
talk in general. You might be getting
15 views a video up to like maybe a
100red views a video. You might have 10
subscribers. And let me encourage you
that this is 100% normal and you
shouldn't feel bad about any of those
numbers. You are not failing. you are
building the foundation that everything
else will then get built on top of. So
months four through eight, you're moving
more a little bit more into the momentum
phase. You are starting to get a little
bit more comfortable with figuring out
how this whole YouTube thing works and
you're getting a little bit more
comfortable being on camera. you have
posted enough consistent videos and
you've narrowed down your topic
selection and you're sort of landing
into a niche and YouTube's algorithm is
starting to figure out a little bit more
about who they should be showing your
videos to. You might start getting
somewhere between like 200 and 500 views
a video and subscribers are going to
trickle in a little bit more steadily in
this phase and you might be up to like
the 300 400 subscriber point. Again,
this is all completely theoretical. I'm
just kind of maybe showing an examples
to give you an idea what to expect. Your
results will probably not be exactly
like this. So, now we get up to like the
9month to the 18month period. And we're
going to call this the breakthrough
window. Why? Because this is where I
think a whole lot of people decide I'm
out or this is kind of work. I'm going
to keep giving it some more time and
effort. If you've stayed consistent, if
you have worked on trying to improve one
thing in every video so you get a little
bit better with how you're doing it,
this is the time that you might likely
hit that 1,000 subscriber mark. And
somewhere in that 9mon to 18month
window, hopefully you're going to hit
the 4,000 watch hour mark. And remember,
those 4,000 watch hours have to be
accumulated in the last 365 days. You
might hit those kind of things in the
ninth month. You might hit those kind of
things in the 16th month. None of those
numbers are wrong. All those things are
completely normal. Now, let's say you're
at month 18. You're a year and a half
into this. So, let's give this the name
of the paycheck phase. Your channel has
reached the levels where you are fully
monetized in the YouTube partner
program. You are seeing deposits into
your bank account. It might be $50 a
month. It might be $150 a month. It
might be more than that if you're doing
well. that stays consistent because
hopefully you're staying consistent in
your posting, which is really key in
that. But you're also starting to glean
the premiums that come from having a
good library of videos that's underneath
of you. Because once you get monetized,
you have the capacity to go back and
earn from all of those videos that are
already on your channel. Now, can you do
all this faster? Absolutely. And I've
seen people do it. If you if you nail
what you know your niche is going to be
and you are consistent in posting and
you're really working on improving so
that your video quality consistently
improves. Sure. I think it can be done
quicker than that. Can it take longer?
Absolutely. And it can take longer if
you post pretty sporadically. Or maybe
you pick a topic that is overly
saturated and you didn't do anything to
kind of set yourself apart with like a
specific avenue within that topic. Or
honestly, maybe your videos could just
use a little help and you're not really
paying attention to what you can do to
get better each time you post.
Then it could definitely take longer.
But here's what I want you to
understand. YouTube, like investing, is
all about compound interest. every video
that you post is building on your asset.
Your videos don't disappear in 24 hours
like something like posting on Instagram
has the likelihood of doing. They sit
there and they keep accumulating views.
People keep searching for topics that
they might be about and they hopefully
show up as a potential answer for them
and these views can keep accumulating
for years. I have videos that I posted
in 2019 on this channel that I can see
are still getting views every single day
and that means they are building into my
earnings every single day. I did the
work six or seven years ago at this
point and I'm still getting paid for it.
So, you can think of starting a YouTube
channel like you're buying a lottery
ticket. Like, well, maybe this will
work. Maybe I'll win. Or you can look at
YouTube as I'm going to build this. I'm
going to be strategic about it. I'm
going to think about where I want this
channel to go and I'm going to think
about building a channel that has the
capacity to reach viewers and to earn
money from it. So, I hope that has
helped to give you maybe a clearer and
more realistic expectation of what to
have when you're pursuing the YouTube
partnership program to earn money
through what's most people refer to as a
monetized channel. Now, again, this
isn't the only way that you can earn
with a YouTube channel. There's a lot of
ways to do it and I would venture to say
even from my own experience that there's
a lot more ways that you have the
capacity to earn more money from than
the YouTube partner program. I just
really want to encourage you not to get
locked into this is the only way and
this is the best way. So again, I do
have uh an ebook down in the description
that I think could help to open your
eyes to the different ways that you can
earn from it so that the work you're
already putting into your channel has
the option to pay you off in different
ways. I really hope you'll take a look.
And hey, if you are pursuing a YouTube
channel because you enjoy it and it's a
good hobby for you and a good creative
outlet, wonderful. There are so many
people that are doing that and they're
they're enjoying the creativity. They're
enjoying the option to be able to share
their knowledge with people who can
benefit from it. And the monetization
goals aren't really as big of a thing
for them. Good for you. But if you think
I'm gonna put in this time and I want to
see what I can earn from it, then you
got to stay a little bit more fixed on
that path. Either way, you do not need
to be super techsavvy to succeed on
YouTube. You don't have to have a film
degree or intense knowledge about how to
do all of this because really the only
way you're going to get better is to
learn as you go and try to improve one
thing in every video that you post. You
don't need the most expensive equipment.
I'm doing it with an iPhone and I'm
sitting in front of a window for natural
light. You can do the same thing. What
will help you to be able to succeed with
YouTube and what will help you to
achieve your goals within the YouTube
partner program is to be consistent in
posting and strategic in how you're
going about doing that. I do have a uh
playlist down below uh that is focused
on how to succeed on YouTube, especially
when you're over the age of 40 that if
you want to pursue a little bit more of
that strategic part, I do have some
videos in there that I think might
capture your attention and hopefully
really be of help for you. So, it's time
go build your billboard. Put it along
that highway so those advertisers
capture the attention and YouTube's
like, "I've got somebody for you that's
a good match with what you want to
advertise for." Your videos are that
key. Hey, thanks so much for watching. I
hope this has explained some things. I
hope it's brought some clarity and I
hope it's encouraged you to see that if
you want to have a channel that makes
money, you've got a lot of ways to be
able to do it. If you saw that video I
played earlier with a sample of my video
on a billboard and you thought, "Hey, I
haven't seen that video yet." It's a
good one to watch. I think it's called
uh how I'd start a YouTube channel in
2026 if I had to start over. I have it
linked here. I'd love if you'd watch
that one next.
