How do I make money on YouTube?

Ok before anyone asks, yes I have done the research but for some reason I have a blockage in my brain that stops me from understanding this I just don't know why.

I have a youtube channel, which I run part time, I don't get a lot of views, and I have 100 subscribers, sometimes the odd video will hit the thousand mark but that's it. As I understand I know I have be in the thousands when it comes to subscribers and views to make any kind of money and I know somewhere in this equation it's to do with monetization but can someone please just explain to me step by step how this all works because no matter how many times I read the information I'm just not getting it. I know I haven't got enough activity to make a decent income, but even if I can just make a little something, it's better than nothing at all.

Is there anyone that can just break it down for me in the simplest form possible? I would really appreciate it, I think I prefer talking to someone about it.

Thanks in advance!

    Just look at the videos that have 100K+ views and try to make them the same way. Most of the people that have reached this point, also have hundreds of different videos. YouTube is a great way to make some extra money with ads and affiliate products but you have to build trust with your audience as well. It takes time to build it up and the biggest part is to keep posting and share everything with social media

      I understand that but what my question is what is the logistics behind it? As in the process from start to finish. How does the money go into your bank account? YouTube takes your bank details and then when you reached a certain number of views, the money goes in? How does it work in detail?

    You can either focus on ranking your videos for highly searched keywords or you can just upload videos about topics people want to learn about and just wait for people to randomly find your videos and hopefully start sharing them with others.


    You can monetize your videos by joining the YouTube partners program, or you can promote products to your viewers with a call-to-action at the end of each video (tell your viewers to go to your website for more info/help/advice, etc...

      In order to get paid you need to create a Google Adsense account and then link it to your YouTube account. once you reach a certain amount of Adsense revenue, which I believe is $100, you can then request them to send you a check if you live in the U.S. or Canada, or by bank deposit if your from elswhere

    You can do it WHITE HAT or BLACK HAT

    With black hat, it is very easy and automated.

    It is also very unethical and unsustainable.

    I'm not going to spell out BH techniques but they are all over the place at Youtube. Hint: has something to do with movies.

    For white hat techniques, you need to do the following

    1) Pick a low competition niche

    2) Get quality videos produced

    3) Turbocharge your traffic through Google Plus communities

    4) Engage your video commenters

    5) Share on your FB fan page and pump up with fb page comments on other fb pages

    Upload videos that give lots of value.
    Some of my videos have 50k+ views which has happened over a number of years.
    They earn good Adsense income.
    It's a waiting game.
    Do things properly.
    Don't buy fake views and likes because this will only work short term.
    Go for the long term and make videos that engage the viewer and optimise them for the title and description.
    Set up an Adsense account, turn on monetisation on your YT channel and link the Adsense account to the channel.

    Ok so currently my video view counts are in the 100's I have 107 subscribers about. Do I have enough activity to make any money at all? Or am I really far away?

    Hey Hits

    I will give one principle that has helped me along my journey, and that has been really powerful in my life.

    It is simple.

    Get a coach and commit.

    For many months I used to struggle in my email marketing business. I made no sales, I got very little traffic, I just plain sucked real bad.

    The thing is, I was trying so many different things on my own and I was getting nowhere real fast.

    That was until I met my first Email Marketing coach and invested $3000.00 for his program,

    Let's just say, that was a game changer for me.

    A coach will help you reach your dreams much faster than if you did it on your own, because he/she has been where you are and will steer you away from a lot of pitfalls new Youtube marketers make.

    That being said I do recommend the James Wedmores (Google him) coaching program simply because he does what you want to do for a living and he has helped so many other newbie Youtube marketers reach the success they want..

    Yes coaching does costs money initially but that money is very tiny considering how much you will be making once you succeed.
