Well, to answer this questions, I will say a big Yes. Yes, you can definitely and legitimately earn money from YouTube. Many of the social media marketers are earning good amount of money from their YouTube videos. But to answer how much money you can earn from YouTube, I must say it varies for various publishers. It may be $100 per day or $1000 per day or $100 a month or $1000 in a month or in some period. No one can tell exactly how much you are going to earn from YouTube videos. It completely depends on how much visitors you get to your YouTube videos. As much visitors you get, your earning will be proportionate to that amount. If you don’t know how to achieve this, I will tell you how.

This is a beginner’s guide to make money on YouTube. I am well aware that most of the people doing online business or involved in blogging, online marketing, social media marketing know how to make money with Youtube. You can earn a decent amount of money uploading and sharing your personal videos to YouTube. If you are one of the experienced bloggers or the social media marketers, then this article is definitely not for you. I am going to describe the step by step process to earn money through YouTube videos for the beginners. So, this is a step by step beginner’s guide to make money on YouTube.

What you need to make money on YouTube: Prerequisites

1. An account with Google: Yes, Youtube is a Google product and you need a google account to login to YouTube. If you already have a gmail account then just sign in to YouTube via that logon credentials. If you do not have an account with Google, then sign up for one, then log in to YouTube.

2. Original and high quality(optional) videos: You need some videos to upload to YouTube. The videos should be unique and copyright free, in other words the videos are made by you. You can upload any kind of videos to YouTube, whether it be a video of your last night party with your friends, a moving train or a tutorial video to do something or anything you like. Note that, you cannot upload pornographic or sexually explicit videos to YouTube. You can try uploading such videos to get banned by Google. The quality of the videos should good, preferably in high definition, but this is optional. You can upload low quality videos also to YouTube and YouTube will not bar you to upload videos based on quality. But, good quality videos are advisable because it will be more pleasurable to your viewers. You can copy videos from somewhere else and upload to YouTube, but this will not enable you to monetize the video. Google will not entertain your application for monetization with duplicate videos.

3. Visitors and subscribers to your videos. People will subscribe to your YouTube channel if they like your videos and they will come again and again whenever you post new videos to your channel. Make a plan how you will circulate the link of your YouTube videos through various social media sharing or any other legitimate means.

What you need to do to set up your YouTube channel?

Step 1: Log in to YouTube using your Google account and go to your profile. Click on ‘Create a Channel’ to set up your new YouTube channel. Note that you can give any name to your channel. It can be your real name, any keyword like dancing videos, health tips, blogging tips and tricks or anything. Using a keyword which has a good amount of searches in Google everyday can be beneficial in getting traffic to your channel. But whatever name you give, make it simple. Do not use complicated words or phrases.

Step 2: Click on Video Manager. Video Manager is a store of all your YouTube videos. You can see all your videos uploaded to YouTube in one place. You can categorize your videos, add descriptions to individual videos from Video Manager.

Step 3: Upload your unique videos to your YouTube channel. Write something about the video in the video description. Add some relevant tags to the description. The tags will enable YouTube to categorize your videos and to show them to appropriate viewers.

Step 4: Now the most important part comes. Click on ‘View Additional Features’ option in the side panel. In the additional features, you will see an option YouTube Monetization. This is nothing but the YouTube revenue sharing program of Google Adsense. Now, click on ‘Enable Monetization’ button. There, click on ‘Enable my account’ option. You are almost done now. Just read the terms and conditions and agreement for monetization. You need to accept those terms by clicking ‘I Accept’ button.

Step 5: Now all you have to do is wait for 24 hours. You will get an email within 24 hours regarding the YouTube monetization. After reading the instructions in the email, go to Video manager in your YouTube channel and you will get an option for monetization in each of your videos. Just enable that option and you are done. Now concentrate on getting visitors to your YouTube channel by sharing it to social media sharing websites or by any other means and happy earning.
