This is a bunch of garbage and not true.
Yeah I’m skeptical of these figures too. It’s still obvious that YouTube gets tons of advertising revenue, though, and that their advertisers must do pretty well. For my small business, however, I do make sure that my videos are not only on YouTube but other sites as well, like Vimeo and AdWido.
It seems to me that all articles on the earnings of YouTube Partners is guess work, I have never yet read a report which is correct and I have looked at many, as a top UK partner myself I know exactly to the penny my earnings every day thanks to Adsense. When I was asked to become a Partner in April 2008 I thought I would be lucky to make $100 (we were paid in $ at that time) However I am now totally free of all credit cards, the loans on our cars and in 12 months my house mortgage which had fifteen years to go will be cleared and best of all my wife has agreed that I can then jack my job and just make videos for Youtube and spend a lot of time with my kids there is a God
I’m almost there now!, I’ve been blogging and working on my website for a year, I’ve think that the future is youtube and partners that are making great videos are driving nice cars and live in great houses!… Check out SMP Films Mr.Safety is doing well!…
Hopefully my channel “asittingducktv” will get its chance soon, we have a great team and so far the feedback has been excellent for Candy The Magic Dinosaur x ;] – Shuv
Your full of bs…. All this crap is a lie… YouTube clearly says when you get denied that it has nothing to do with the amount of views or subscribers you have….
I AM a youtube partner and not one of these figure are correct. I cant figure it out. I get 1000 views and one day I make .03 cents per 1000 sometimes i get 2 dollars. it all depends of what the advertisers are willing to pay per video.
check out my channel captainfury2007
thats why Nigahiga loves his fans
@captainfury2007: I just checked out your Youtube channel, and you don’t meet all the above-mentioned criteria. Most of your videos (or at least a good deal of them) have fewer than 1000 views, so you probably aren’t making as much as the top-rated Youtube partners. (Nigahiga, Fred, etc.)
No offense intended, but your earnings, compared to those mentioned in the article above, seem appropriate to your total Youtube stats. If you’re not one of the top-tier Youtube accounts, you probably won’t earn as much.
i hope that one day i could become a youtube partner. i barely started making makeup tutorials and such on my beauty channel…. hopefully my work pays off….. =]
Youtube partners do not get paid per subscriber. This article is very misleading and not true.
these are real numbers youtube has stated this
sources: youtube
AAAGGGGGHHHH I HATE YOUTUBERS I WILL NEVER FEEL BAD FOR THEM AGAIN THEY ARE LOADED WITH MONEY!!!!!
Well using these amounts Shane Dawson has made over $1,800,000!
Im a partner and I will not speak my name but I make a lot more than these numbers and I have more going on than just YouTube and so does every other partner.
You’re lucky to get $1 per 1000 views
Nobody gets paid per channel view, video view or subscriber, all you get is a share of the click through revenues
Therefore you can have 1000 views and earn $5.00 *IF* one in a hundred viewers click through to the ad on your video, equally you can have 1000 views and earn $0.05 if only 1 viewer clicks the ad
You can see by the “quality” of most advertisers that they aren’t paying much per click, a lot of them are even spyware farms that lure young kids into “Cartoonizing” themselves in order to take over their browser and search bar
SMP films has been rumoured to make $10,000 per month and has even suggested that himself, I very much doubt that this is true looking at his overall stats, his viewers would all have to click through ads on each of his videos, his main source of revenue could be from product placements he does within his Youtube video ( Kevin NALTS Nalty is good at this ) and from making advertising videos for his personal corporate sponsors
If Youtube were really paying these guys as much as this article suggests Nalts would have quit his day job years ago and he wouldn’t have had to look at these other more lucrative ways to MONETIZE his youtube videos by cuttuing them out of the revenue loop, also Weblebrity and dethroned king of Youtube Paul Renetto Robinet would have shown a lot more enthusiam for making a buck off his once chart topping subscriber base instead of going off and vlogging on some weired NING vlogger site
No one will really know untill they become a partner and become a successful video uploader. Shane Dawson is doing very very well and is paying his huge 2 bedroom house with a pool and all his expenses with his youtube pay. hes living off youtube alone. Youtube is his job and income. And it is actually estimated that you earn $800.00 per 1 million views, which does make much more sense. Youtube pays well if you ask me. You just have to work hard.
All this that he stated is false, Im a partner myself and the only way you make money is through the ads in each video. You dont get money for each view or comment or subscriber.
YALL ARE FUCKING IDIOTS YOUTUBE PAYS LIKE ALOT OF MONEY ALL YOUTUBERS THAT ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL LIKE SHANE DAWSON GET PAID ALOT Check out my channel http://www.youtube.com/user/bombshell582 please subscribe
everything this person stated is correct… this is the bottom line, youtubers even make more… WHY DO YOU THINK THEY KEEP MAKING VIDEOS?
If the stats are correct, then why is Shay Carl moving back to Idaho because the rent in LA is too expensive??
He has ’shaytards’, ‘katilette’, ’shaycarl’, ’shayloss’, and ‘thestation’ and ‘thestation2′, which generate MILLIONS of views. Heck, each shaytard video he uploads gets up to at least 300,000 views or more in a week!!
You don’t see them living in a HUGE MANSION somewhere.
Yes, YouTube pays well, but definitely not what is stated in this ‘report/article’.
The key thing is, you must work extremely hard and for a VERY long time in order to get there, to the point of making a lot of money from this.
But hey, if I became a youtube partner, I wouldn’t mind getting $1,000 a month. I could definitely live off of that, and if I work hard, it can only get higher and better =)
I’m a youtube partner. I dont make enough to quit my job. In Feb 2010 I made $800.00 off my youtube video views. I got around 600,000 views to make this amount. Partners get paid 2 ways. You get paid for clicks on ads and every 1000 ad impressions you get paid a certain amount. It depends on what the cost per 1000 ad impressions is that day. Partners can only track earnings for the adsense for content host in their adsense accounts. The youtube video view money is posted the following month. So what I made from youtube in feb off videos views will be added to the adsense for content host amount I make in March 2010. I will get that check in April.It will be over $1,000 before taxes. I wont say who I am but I have a music channel on youtube
Shane Dawson is making a fucking killing off youtube. I know.
Hes making over $100,000 a year. And so is raywilliamsjohnson
If your a partner and you can get at least 3,000,000 views a month, you can quit your job. If I ever get to that point,I would still work. Google doesnt have health insurance for non employees. lol
This is a lie
. lol you cant make up random number and words and they be false
This is not true, im a youtube partner and make about 80p for every 1000 views thats $1.60.
But you dont make money for anything else just vid views
The numbers are correct. Everybody here knocking the program are just angry they can’t become a partner or they are trolls. Plain and simple. We make money as partners and it is good money if you work your way up. The more views and subscribers = $$$. Obviously the guys on top make more than the guys on the bottom. That is life. Trolls get a job. Wannabees get a life.
i am going to start a vlog with my friend but i need the truth about the amount of money you can make on Youtube videos because i really need the money right now
What, then they are feeding off of us
I’m not really bothered about the numbers, but if you want a better idea it would be best to experience this yourself with your own Google Adsense account.

I am a youtube partner and this is completly wrong for one we can get anywhere from .01 to $25 per 1000 views. also we do not get paid per subscriber or channel views. we only get paid for our video ads
right, CyberAceTV is correct. I am a partner also and it really just depends. There are not ‘hard numbers’.
I was able to become a partner after doing some YouTube Marketing with Tube Toolbox. I suggest people check it out at http://www.TubeToolbox.com.
I still put a lot of time into my Channel and can’t make a living off of being a partner but it’s basically free money for me since I enjoy making videos and would be doing it anyway.

pleasse !!! FUCK YOUTUBE , FUCK PARTNER PROGRAM , they , accept like they want !! Fuckerss
is is true that you ruin your chances of becoming partner by having too many subscriptions…. or by subscribing to too many channels… like sub4sub-ers do? and if so then what is too many?
if you want to become a youtube partner then the best site to go to is probably this one…..

this has unique ideas from a secret partner
You guys are crazy if you guys think this is true.
Use your brain smart ones.
Look at it this way, if nigahiga get paid for his views and channel views and ads, he would get paid over like 50,000$ per 1million views. and 100,000$ for 2million views,
Like how many people on youtube really pays attention to ads? common lets be real, no company is gonna pay youtube partners THAT much if they dont get ANYTHING from it
It’s absolutely true.

thanks for posting that john
that was the most helpful article i have read so far
I personally know nigahiga. Thought I don\\\’t ask how much he makes but what I do know is that he will never ever starve or shop at 4 for less. Numbers can be true depending on who you are and how much traffic you get. Advertisers will pay more knowing this person generates a million views in 3 days or so. I would believe Ryan would make an easy 100k a year. I however have only made 10 bucks so far. That\\\’s 80 cents or so per 1000 views. I\\\’ll check my adsense next month. I\\\’m better off whoring myself out to 10 phat chicks.
At the looks of it, NO ONE knows ANYTHING. Bye.
