Your AdSense earnings are determined by the number of views the video receives, which advertisers show up on your video, and how many times the ads are clicked. High engagement and clicks are more important than total views, but the more views you receive, the higher likelihood of clicks. Depending on your video’s engagement levels, you can earn anywhere from 30 cents to $10 per 1,000 views. Making videos that people will actively watch until the end will earn you more than a video where people click away after only a few seconds.The Bottom Line, as long as your videos are being watched, YouTube income is passive after the video is posted. Keep track of which videos perform the best and create videos with a similar topic. As your video library and views grow, so will your income.

Sounds like its a nice hobby
Sounds like a nice hobby that will make a few nickels to make you feel better about doing the videos but definitely not an enterprise.

From my understanding, you have to be getting consistent views in the millions to make a living off of YouTube. And then you can make a very comfortable living.
You might be able to add a couple hundred dollars to your monthly income with a lot of work and luck but you could easily make more using that same time to work a minimum wage job.

ha, was thinking it.
hohmann has a channel, i this neils, darren also, i don't know the last time they posted heck i don't think they have more than 25 videos combined and the most recent post was a year ago.
I'm not sure what pro you know that does it but unless it's instructional or a match like what genipool and them does. Maybe you're not interested in pool, if that the case Icon posted a link that may help.
Many people don't realize this, but YouTube is one of the top "search engines" as well.
In order to generate significant income from YouTube videos, you either need corporate sponsorship (which is tough to secure if you don't have a big following) and/or to have your videos show up as top hits among search engines. Plus, you'll need to regularly upload new content in order for search engines to "value" you.
Most YouTubers also create a website, as well as stay active on other social networks. The whole idea is to drive as much visitor traffic as possible.

A "few nickels" is right. Actually that might be a little high.
You need millions of views...of content that leads to people clicking on an ad. For example, you review the latest release of a smartphone or tablet (i.e. people watching it are in a buying mode so they're likely to click on an ad).
Exactly. No one in pool can possibly be making enough off ad revenue to live on. You need views in consistent millions and full ad impressions and click-throughs to get any real money.
However for your OWN stuff, it's great. YouTube pays off for me much more than posting on this forum does for example.
If were entirely worth it, you'd at least see an Annual 5K or 10K added POV Pool Sponsored Tournament from me, but you don't.
Even with our existing sponsors and 'active social networks, I'm still trying to find the magic bullet.
This said, I don't think I'll ever stop promoting and streaming pool to the masses - I do what I love, I love what I do.
Keep Loving Pool!

VERY. as long as it's not pool related of course
There are folks in the video gaming areas that are making 6 figures showing kids how to play/win at certain popular video games with his expert advice, and multiple screen shots to show certain things.
Thanks for doing what you do Daniel, I really appreciate it and I know a lot of other people out there do as well.

7 figures for many.
One of the top YouTube earners is a couple of pre-teens opening and playing/reviewing toys.

I didnt understand why a channel like this got a lot of views... its because kids like my 4 year olds will watch this shit for hours on end on youtube. One after another after another... not to mention it also helps them with identifying the toys name... makes Xmas lists a lot easier.
Was just reading about a situation where a guy posted a video and some gal with hundreds of thousands of subscribers reposted the video and it got millions in views credited to her pay stream. The original poster didn't get paid anything for the hits on his video uploaded to some else's account. Fair?
The guy that originally posted it could hit her channel with a copyright strike, but you're right, he won't get any of the money off of her previous views. I was big into gaming until a couple years ago and I've met a few people that made all their money from YouTube. Both are low level millionaires just from their YouTube career. Now Twitch streaming is the new big thing.
That being said with the Pool/Billiards audience being fairly small and a lot of it older it just doesn't get the views on YouTube that gaming videos and DIY stuff does, so there would be very little money in it if that's all you have on your channel. I’m guessing the only way to make any money on it is “Artistic Pool.”
