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.

How to Identify the Gender of your Twitter Followers??

Do you ever wonder what is the demographics of people who follow you on Twitter. How many of your Twitter friends are men? Or women? Or random colored eggs, people who are either too lazy to change their default avatar or maybe they are  Twitter bots . The  Graph Search of Facebook  can provide deep insights into the demographics of people who are connected with you on the social network. For instance, you can write a natural language query like “ My friends who are older than 30 ” or “ My female friends who live in Delhi ” and the answer will be available instantly. Such granular data is however not available for Twitter users. Who Follows You? Males, Females or Eggs How do you programmatically determine the gender of a person on Twitter? The  Twitter API  doesn’t provide the gender information but there’s a workaround. You can take the profile picture of a Twitter user, feed it into Siftr’s  Vision API  and it will detect the gender of the most prominent face in the photogr

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
