You might be able to make money on YouTube if you can tap into your creative side and are willing to put in a lot of effort. Here are a few methods of monetization to consider.

How To Earn $1000 From Youtube

1. Earn money from advertisements as a YouTube Partner Program member

First and foremost, let's get this out of the way. To earn money from advertisements, you must first join the YouTube Partner Program. And you can't become a YouTube partner until your channel has 1,000 subscribers. You'll also need a total of 4,000 hours of watch time in the last year. Checking those big boxes unlocks the door to ad revenue.

Before you can become a partner, you must meet the following requirements:

  • YouTube's monetization policies must be followed.
  • You must live in a qualifying area.
  • You must connect a Google AdSense account.
  • In YouTube Studio, go to the "monetization" section to track your subscriber and watch hours progress. When you are eligible to apply, YouTube will notify you.

As a YouTube partner, you can earn money from advertisements, chat features, and YouTube Premium subscribers who view your content. Notably, in 2023, YouTube will begin to allow YouTube partners to earn ad revenue on Shorts. Shorts are YouTube's version of TikTok-style short-form videos.

How many YouTube views does it take to make money?

You are not compensated for each video view. Rather, you are compensated when someone watches or clicks on an ad displayed on your video.

According to Influencer Marketing Hub, while payment varies, the average YouTube channel can expect to earn around $18 per 1,000 ad views. When you consider the rate of ads actually viewed, that translates to $3 to $5 per 1,000 video views.

So, when are you going to start making money on YouTube?

When your balance reaches $100, you will be paid. Assume it takes 1,000 video views to earn $4 from viewers who saw ads. To earn $100 from those ads, you'd need 25,000 video views.

If your channel is small, you may only be paid every few months. You'll also want to understand how Google, which handles AdSense payments, handles taxes.

2. Profit from affiliate marketing

If you plan to make product review videos, affiliate marketing may be the most practical way to monetize your YouTube traffic. You find a company or seller that has an affiliate program, such as Amazon Associates, and apply to join.

After you've been accepted, you'll use their process to create custom links to products you want to feature in your videos.

In your YouTube videos, demonstrate, review, or refer to the products, and include your custom affiliate marketing link(s) in the description field.

When a viewer clicks your custom link and purchases the product, you will earn a commission as a brand affiliate.

While Amazon Associates is a great way to make money on Amazon, there are numerous other options. Look for potential corporate partners and products to feature on affiliate marketing sites like ShareASale and ClickBank. You can also look for information on how to become an affiliate on the websites of your favorite brands.

Remember to properly notify your viewers about your affiliation with the featured brand or brands, and point them to the "link in the description" when you shoot your video.

3. Memberships are available

Another way to monetize viewership is through a membership model. Fans of the channel pay a small subscription fee for perks and/or an exclusive tier of access using this method.

Patreon is a well-known third-party membership site. YouTube has been gradually introducing its own channel membership feature, but you must be a member of the YouTube Partner Program to be eligible. More viewers can always lead to more revenue. Viewers may be enticed to become paying members by incentives such as one-on-one video chats, private classes, or other perks.

4. Make products and market them on YouTube

If you make your own products or want to, YouTube provides an infinite number of ways to promote and sell them. Ebooks, apps, art, and music are examples of products you can create.

Make your products and place them in a shopping cart. Then promote them on YouTube. Include a link to your product in the description of your video so that viewers can purchase it.

5. Crowdfunding

With the introduction of Kickstarter and Indiegogo, crowdfunding is becoming increasingly popular. If you have a great idea for a YouTube media project, it could be a great way to make money. It not only generates your initial funding, but it also helps to establish an audience and revenue for your project in the future.

For example, the popular YouTube channel Corridor Digital uses Patreon to fund their video or movie projects in exchange for special perks for their supporters.

The key to attracting viewers is always to provide high-quality content. And having high-quality content requires a lot of creativity.

So be resourceful in your use of resources. Always try new methods and ideas for production, and you might get some unexpected results.
