How to earn money on YouTube

 A YouTube channel is one of the best ways to make money online, more so in the long term if you're thinking of starting an online business from all over the world that can generate you up to $1000 monthly. Unlike many other online businesses, YouTube takes time before you monetize your channel or start earning money online. That's why it's known as a long-term investment. The channel won't make money for you immediately, but after you start making money, you can earn up to approximately $12000 and above yearly. To become a YouTuber, you need skills ranging from teaching skills (the ability to solve complex issues) to video editing skills. The amount of money YouTube.com pays depends on factors such as

The number of views your video receives

The number of clicks an ad receives

Ad quality

Ad blockers

Video length

YouTube doesn't play based on the number of subscribers you have on your channel. The amount depends on a variety of factors, such as the number of views accumulated and how many Google ads are displayed on their videos. In order to get paid by YouTube, you need to reach a threshold of $100 or more from views. To make this happen, YouTube created the YouTube Partner Program, which allows you to get paid through advertisements on your page. To be accepted in the YouTube Partners Program, you must:

Have a minimum of 1,000 subscribers.

Attain 4,000 valid public watch hours in the past 12 months.

Follow the terms and conditions.

Have an Adsense account.

Once you're in the YouTube Partners Program, you'll start earning through advertisements. This is done in two ways, either cost per thousand views (CPM) or cost per click (CPC). In CPM, you can earn money based on every 1,000 views accumulated, while in CPC, you can earn based on the number of clicks from the ad placed on your page or video.
