How much youtube pay for 1000 views?


How many views does it take to make money on YouTube?  This is a common question asked and it really depends on who you ask.  You may have heard that you’ll make one dollar per thousand views or that it’s $1,000 per Million Views.  Some say it’s $5 per thousand views.  Well, we’re asking the wrong question.  We should be asking, “How much ENGAGEMENT does it take to make money on YouTube?”

You don’t make money based on the amount of views you have.  You make money based on people’s engagement with the ad.  Engagement here means clicking or watching a ad for more than 30 seconds.  YouTube Advertising is managed in the Adwords platform. Advertisers choose ads on a Cost Per Click (CPC) or Cost Per View (CPV) model.

Types of Ads

Cost Per Click (CPC)
CPC is when an advertiser pays money based on clicks.  So if a certain keyword has a CPC of $3 and someone clicks on that ad, it will charge that advertiser $3. These text ads pop up in the lower part of the screen during the video and can also show up as a square banner on the right side of your channel.
Cost Per View (CPV)
CPV is when an advertiser pays money based on views.  A view for the advertiser means someone watches an Ad for at least 30 seconds or half of the ad; whichever comes first.  That person could click that ad 50 times but it still wouldn’t charge the advertiser more because they’re not paying for the click, they’re paying for the view.

TrueView: Pre-Roll, In-Search & In-Display Ads

Pre-Roll Ads are the ads that act as a preview before the video starts and viewers can skip it after 5 seconds.
In-Search Ads show up in the search results and are surrounded by a light yellow box.
In-Display Ads show up on the right side of YouTube in the suggested video area
*  There are also third party pre-roll ads that force users to watch for a certain amount of time.  Since these forced don’t apply to the majority I’m leaving them out.

Where Attentions Go, Ads Will Flow

Advertisers only pay when someone clicks an ad or watches for 30 seconds.  This is why you can’t tie your channel views to dollars.  If your video gets ten million views but nobody watches or click the ads, you don’t make any money.  This is how I’m able to make $1 per 25 views.  Advertisers pay big money to get their ad in front of specific and targeted audience.
One of my YouTube Channels happens to provide valuable video content for this specific audience.  This channel teaches business owner how to organize their finances, track their expenses and save money on taxes.  Any company who is trying to reach business owners would love to place their ads on my channel because we both share the same demographic.  The people who view my channel are their potential customers.

5 real-world events which ‘prove’ that time travel actually exists

In Back to the Future, you need an expensive car, and a conveniently placed lightning bolt – but what if time travel was easier than that? What if time travellers were ALL AROUND US? The ‘time travelling hipster’ (above) is one of the creepier pieces of evidence touted as proof that time travel exists – but we’ve picked out some of the best below, including several people from black-and-white films who appear to be using mobile phones. Nigel Watson, paranormal expert and author of the UFO Investigations Manual, ‘Would time travelers from the future really be using mobile phones? Wouldn’t they use something more sophisticated and less visible? Then again Dr Who still uses a sonic screwdriver and that is so 20th Century…’ Entry by  Cervus Entry by  Chan Teik Onn Entry by  GordonHaid Entry by  gicusudoru

Anonymous just declared war against Donald Trump !@

One of the primary Twitter accounts for the internet’s most notorious hacktivist collective tweeted multiple times at the President-elect on Sunday night, shortly after Trump  attacked civil rights icon John Lewis  and blasted Saturday Night Live as “ the worst of NBC ” (oddly enough the same network that carries the reality TV show for which Trump is  listed as an executive producer ) . In a series of responses to one of Trump’s tweets accusing outgoing CIA director John Brennan of leaking the infamous “Golden Showers” dossier,  @YourAnonCentral  told the President-elect that his dealings with “Russian mobsters, child traffickers, and money launderers” would soon come to light. Anonymous also ominously warned Trump that information on the internet is there forever, and that his rich father can’t protect him anymore. Anonymous isn’t just blowing hot air — Trump actually does have ties to unsavory characters tied to the Russia mob, according to Pulitze...

10 MOST HAUNTED PLACES IN THE WORLD

It seems that one of the most enduring aspects of cultural similarity found throughout the world involves the supernatural.  No matter where you go across the globe, you’re going to hear various legends and ghost stories…except some of these carry significantly more weight than your average campfire story.  People seem to be somewhat obsessed with what goes on after death, especially in regards to whether or not the spirits of the departed stick around.  It would be easy to say that such attention can be blamed on vivid, Hollywood inspired imaginations, but documented reports of supernatural disturbances go back several centuries in many places, underlining the fact that no matter the time period or society involved, the paranormal remains on people’s minds. Sure, many places in the world that are reputedly haunted seem more far-fetched than realistic, but there are those that have a tendency to make even the most hardened skeptic stop and reconsider.  Listed he...
