The Path to Faster Monetization on YouTube

If you have been trying to monetize your youtube channel and frequently watch videos and read articles on how to monetize faster, you will often see suggestions like using a tool that open as your videos on multiple windows to build watch time. However, using this tactics might lead to closer of your channel. In a YouTube case study I watched, a content creator detailed the journey to reaching the monetization threshold.

The case study revealed that it takes approximately 5-6 months and 50-60 videos to achieve monetization.

How to Make Money Through Small Youtube Channel

Earning money on YouTube through video monetization is possible, even for smaller channels. While partnerships, subscriptions, brand deals, sponsorships, and affiliate marketing might not be available or even possible for small channels, you can of course  bring in revenue through AdSense. Actually using adsense is one of the simplest ways to make money. You will earn as long as you get videos. Building significant daily traffic requires consistent video creation and SEO, but you can earn through adsense even when you have medium traffic status. You can even try micro influencing ( give a shoutout for $5-$10) or affiliate marketing to maximize your earnings.

How to Make $100 Per Day on Youtube

I don't make $100 on YouTube every month, let alone making $100 per day. But I believe it is possible to make $100 or more per day on YouTube. A lot of people make millions from Youtube every year, so it's definitely possible. However, it is also true that not everyone can actually make money on youtube. To make money on YouTube, you need original content. You can use creative commons or stock videos, but your videos need to be original to avoid getting flagged, deactivated, or demonetized, as per YouTube rules. You can still make money from reuploaded or stock videos, but the chances are slim. Making money on YouTube isn't just about video content; it's also about SEO and digital marketing.

If you have worked on youtube for a long time and if you have built a library of hndreds of videos and if your videos are on search friendly topics and if you get views on your videos regularly, youtube can become a good passive income source. It is not easy to generate passive income from youtube in a couple of months, but if you consistently publish 2-3 videos every week and if you continue to publish for at least one year and do SEO you might start seeing passive income

How to Build Subscribers and Views on Youtube Through Advertising

Running ads on YouTube has both good and bad sides. Let's break it down.

Advantages of Running Ads

Running ads will help you reach more users, thus making it easier to build subscribers and views. If your goal is to get more views and subscribers to reach YouTube's monetization requirements (1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time), running ads can help you achieve that. If you already have a monetized channel but you want to grow big advertising can help. If you spend $10 every day for a month, that's $300 in total. If your channel can make at least $300 from your videos, then you've covered your ad costs. Even if you do not have that money but generate hundreds of subscribers and thousands of views, your advertising seem to have converted well.

Disadvantages or Running Ads

Spending $10 per day and total $300 can be a big amount for many people, especially in places like Asia and Africa. If you don't see a return on this investment, it's a significant loss. If you have lower ad budget, you might not see any results at all. Furthermore, running ads do not guarantee you income, subscribers or views. Many viewers skip ads so there might be no ad engagement. So, there's no guarantee of success.

What Kinds of Ads Can You Run on Youtube

Advertising on Youtube can be profitable as it is the second most visited website in the world. You can advertise all sorts of products and services, including your own youtube videos to build subscribers, views, and generate revenue. Here's how you can advertise on YouTube:

TrueView In-Stream Ads: These ads are longer ads that can be skipped only after 5 seconds. So, if your product or video can grab attention quickly, this is a good choice.

Overlay Ads: These ads are like little banners that show up at the bottom of the video while it's playing.

Display Ads: These ads show up on the YouTube website or app, usually as banners.

Sponsored Cards: These are ads that appear while video is playing. You can promote your products or services while the video is playing as these ads get viewers engagement.

Bumper Ads: These ads are short and viewers cannot skip. They last around 6 seconds and play before the video.

To get most from your ad campaign, advertise the best video you have and experiment with different types of ads to see what works for you. Also audience targeting is also very important. To set up advertising on youtube, you'll need a Google Ads account and then connect it to your YouTube account.
