This video explains YouTube monetization, focusing on when creators receive their first payment, how many views are needed, and the various factors influencing earnings. It covers ad revenue breakdown, monetization criteria, AdSense setup, and verification processes.
The creator's first month's earning of ₹1,00,000 came after 2 years, in October 2022.
Liking a video does not directly earn the creator money; earnings come from ads.
Long videos earn around ₹50 per 1000 views, standard videos around ₹37, and shorts around ₹10.
Beauty, fitness, motivation, cooking, travel earn more; comedy gets high views but lower ad revenue.
Earnings depend on number of ads shown per video (e.g., three ads in an 8-minute video) and total watch time.
Viewers from US, UK, Australia yield ₹400-500 per 1000 views; India yields ₹50-60.
High-earning audience (e.g., those interested in making money) attract expensive ads; children's audience yields cheap ads.
Old criteria: 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours watch time in last year. New criteria also include short views options.
After meeting criteria, create one AdSense account per identity; review and approval required.
After earning $10, PIN verification is needed. After $100, bank details can be added to receive payment.
A channel created on Feb 12, 2024 got 1 million subscribers in 10 days and earned ₹1 lakh total.

06:01[00:14] can see that this was our earning when the first month's earning came, brother, first month's earning came, brother, after 2 years, 2 years in
[00:27] we earned ₹ 1000000 and in the month of October 2022, and in the month of October 2022, our first earning came in that month
[00:41] we got such a month when we had
[01:01] how much money you will be able to earn, no brother, no one matters about it, if you like a video, you like that video, then is that user earning from it or not, brother, is that user earning from the comments you make below the videos, then it is
[01:15] not, so the only factor that we are seeing here is that only factor that we are seeing here is that you can
[01:31] coming in your mind, so we will see the answer to this also, what will be the friends, that It gives us a lot of motivation that friend, you should make more videos and do
[01:44] research on topics and make such videos through which correct information can reach you people, so like this video right now because friend, you have seen that we are not going to get any money from your like, only your brother gets motivation and if you like this video then
[01:57] definitely share it with your friends so that they also know that friend,
[02:16] after that whatever videos we upload, they earn in that, after that the short videos earn the least, like if we assume that if we are live streaming a video for 1000 views, we earn around 50 rupees on it, so in the video
[02:30] section it becomes around 37 rupees and in the shorts section it also earns around 10 rupees, if your topic is good, now let's see which niches are there What are the topics on which you can create your
[02:58] videos, beauty and fitness, motivation, cooking, travel, comedy, you get very little money in comedy, you get very good views, you get very good views on comedy videos but you get the least money there, now the
[03:10] brother, if you see directly, you don't get money for views, you get money for the ads that come on the views, brother, how many times the ad was played, if there is an 8 minute video, if we put an ad twice, one ad came in the beginning itself,
[03:23] we put one so that brother, an ad should come at 5 minutes, then another ad came there and in the last, we put one at 8 minutes so that an ad should come there too, so here three ads came, so now you will be able to earn triple here, if the ad would have come only once on your YouTube, then
[03:36] how much would have been the earning, suppose we earned one rupee, now ads are coming here thrice, then If the viewer who is watching just once watches for 8 minutes continuously then he earns ₹ there, so your earning also depends on the watch time, after that from which country your
[03:49] audience is watching, if your viewers are coming from America, England, Australia then you will get more money in that, for 1000 views you get get 50-60 rupees for 1000 views maximum, if we
[04:01] see that brother, in our category it goes around 50-60 in the make money category, but if you see that if someone watches the same videos from USA, then there it goes around 400-500, if 1000 views come there then it also becomes 50-500,
[04:14] after that what is the audience, if your audience is children, then brother you should understand it simply that the children are not earning on their own, so the children who watch their videos, cheap ads come on their videos on those You don't get much money,
[04:26] but for those who are earning money and who would like to know how to earn money, what is the audience for them? It is the earning audience, that is why they are investing money, so the ads that will be shown there will be expensive ads, from which you will be able to earn more money.
[04:38] Now see, I understand that ads should appear on our videos, only then will we get money. Now when will those ads start appearing? When will someone
[05:01] run an ad on your video? What used to happen earlier, whenever someone
[05:13] Tell me whether this is right or not. And one more thing, brother, what gives it to you on YouTube2, don't you think that it should be more, friend, how much should it be?
[05:28] You must tell me in the comment section. Now, what is there in the YouTube4 program, brother, all these things are criteria
[06:01] what is there here, there should be 3000 hours of watch time in the last one year, so this criteria If you complete it, then what things do you get? You get these things, you get the channel membership option, you get Super Chat, you get
[06:14] Shopping, but the feature from which you earn the most is you will not start earning from them, now these video ads will
[06:28] not come on your channel and neither will you get any earnings from them, even if they come, you will not earn any income, if you are working hard on your YouTube channel in the beginning with this criteria, that in the beginning with this criteria, that
[06:48] what is the next criteria, brother, you have to complete 1000 subscribers, after that you complete 1000 subscribers, after that you short views in the last 90 days and there should be 4000 hours of watch time
[07:02] in the last past year, that is, last 362 days These 365 days are counted from today itself brother, 365 days from today, so whenever you are at any point, if your watch time is decreasing, then it means that it is the watch time of the previous 365 days that is
[07:17] decreasing. Now see, earlier there was only this criteria of 1000 subscribers, but YouTube gave 0 criteria in which they gave these four options. Now they gave these four options. Now what is the benefit of this, brother, many had to
[07:34] but now on this criteria itself you will get to know whether the channel will be monetized or not. If it gets monetized here, then after that you can put in more effort so that you reach this criteria and your
[07:51] After that you have to create an Adsense account because there is a monetization section, there is an earn section,
[08:05] fulfill the criteria, that is 1000 subscribers, 4000 hours, so firstly what happens is that brother, partner program Are you following the terms and conditions? you following the terms and conditions? Yes brother, you are, after that you will get a
[08:31] only one AdSense account with one name and one ID. If your AdSense account is failing here again and again, then you can create another new AdSense account and connect your channel with that as well. When you sign up for the AdSense account,
[08:43] after that it will review all the things here whether your AdSense account has followed all the terms and conditions or not. After that, when your YouTube channel is completed, with this progress, it will be written as done here as well. So,
