But … it is very difficult to gain it by the easiest and most direct way that Ad Sense advertising is in YouTube videos.There are people who make hundreds of thousands of dollars only with advertising, but for this, you have to reach astronomical visits figures. Take a look at these examples to get an idea of what we are talking about.

The reality check about earning through YouTube

If you calculate an RPM of € 1 (it can be a reasonable average value for Spain), you would need about 1,000 reproductions to earn one euro.

Therefore, for the “normal” user of YouTube, this is hardly going to be the goose that lays the golden eggs. It will be much more profitable to seek revenue indirectly: using YouTube as a marketing and promotion channel to boost the sale of your products and services and for that, YouTube turns out to be a very effective channel.

A very simple way to do it is showing what you can do, something that you can apply in practically any sector. For example, how about you make a video to teach people that you are the best reupholstering car seats?

It sounds like bullshit, right? Well, take a look at the number of reproductions that the video has taken to date and at zero cost and tell me if you still look so bullshit…

Use YouTube for your personal brand

Another indirect way to generate revenue is to use YouTube for your personal brand. A few videos in which you make a good presentation on a subject you have mastered are an excellent business card and way to boost your personal brand and can be a very effective way to reach new clients or be invited at events as a speaker. That’s where you finally monetize your work done on YouTube.

Make quality contents on YouTube

If you can make sure that your videos are of high quality and people are watching your videos frequently then you will have the attention of YouTube. SO, always depend on the quality of your work.
