AdSense Workflow
The biggest and doubtful question asked by many of the newbie YouTube content creators is,
- How can one earn money from YouTube? How it’s possible?
This is the same question I asked myself seven years before. Even some people don’t know people are earning money from YouTube. Therefore, let me clear that doubt in this paragraph.
First of all, it’s all about advertising money. When you watch a YouTube video, you probably come across many ads. That’s where the magic and money transactions happen. YouTube is like an intermediate person to take the product from the advertiser and showcase it to the audiences through channels.
For example,
Consider the advertiser paying $1000 to publish their product advertisement on YouTube. Then YouTube will analyze the channels closely related to the product topic and push the ads. After that, YouTube takes a certain amount as commission and shares the remaining amount with the channel owners.
The calculation depends on a lot of factors (further discussed below). Generally, this is the basic AdSense workflow, and in this way, creators earn from it.
What is Google AdSense?
I hope you understand the above concept; let’s see what Google AdSense is.
In a nutshell, Google AdSense is an advertisement program owned and monitored by Google to maintain all the Ad works. If bloggers and YouTubers want to make money through AdSense means, they must create an account in Google AdSense.
But you can check the ad analytics reports for YouTube creators on the YouTube Analytics dashboard page. Hereafter, the YouTube ads revenue and analytics reports will no longer be shown in Google AdSense.
How To Get An AdSense account?
There is no rocket science in creating an AdSense account. All you need to do is meet the following requirements,
- You must be 18 years old.
- The creating content must obey AdSense policies.
- And the creating video content must be original (Not copied from others).

- Channel must obey community guidelines, terms and conditions, and other YPP policies.
- In the last 12 months, the respective channel must have at least 4000 watch hours.
- Also, the channel should have 1000 subscribers.
Once you meet these requirements, YouTube will allow you to enable monetization on your channel. From that point, you can start able to make money from YouTube.
How many $’s can you earn per 1000 views?
The most common question I have ever asked from my regular readers is, “How much will YouTube pay me per 1000 views”? There is no exact number for this question. But we can predict with the help of a few formulas.
Let’s see some of them here,
Cost-Per-Click (CPC)
It is nothing but the amount the advertiser is willing to pay each time the viewer clicks the ad. CPC desired by the advertiser.
For example, the advertiser is ready to pay $3 per ad click, then the ad appears on your video, and the audiences click, meaning you’ll get $3. So, in this case, you earned $3/per view. No need to wait for 1000 views to make some dollars.
Moreover, to increase the channel revenue, you should consider the CPC.
Cost-Per-1000 Impressions (CPM)
It means the cost you will get when 1000 ads display on your videos. This is why most people ask, “how much $ do I earn per 1000 views”.
- Impression = Ad’s displaying on video
Advertiser decides how much they pay for 1000 ad impressions. I hope you understand. However, let me give you a small example. If the advertiser chooses to deliver $5/1000 ad impressions and when the 1000 ads are displayed on your video, you will get a revenue of a specific dollar ($5/1000 impressions) desired by the advertiser.
Note: Not only through ad clicks, but also you will get money when the audiences watch the ads.
Click-Through-Rate (CTR)
The above two formulas are used to calculate the revenue of the channel. But CTR is used to calculate the performance of the ads.
In a nutshell, the ratio of the number of ad clicks to the number of ad impressions. For example, if you had 100 clicks and 1000 impressions on your ads in the video means, then your CTR would be 10%.
These are the basic metrics to calculate YouTube AdSense earnings. Some people get $10/1000 views, and some get $1/1000 views based on the performance of the ads.
Advantages of YouTube AdSense
I want to say that AdSense is not the only way to earn money on YouTube. There are a lot of ways of making money on YouTube. And some of them are Affiliate marketing, direct sponsorship, and more. But AdSense is somehow popular among content creators because of its few advantages. They are,
Easy to Earn
There are plenty of ways to earn money on YouTube. But nothing is more comfortable than AdSense. You are required to achieve the qualifications to enable monetization. That’s all you are going to do. Hence, no other risk factors.
You will not worry about the product in ads and other things. In other words, everything will be taken care of on YouTube. All you need to do is, create excellent video content your audiences like.
Trustable Payment
The most trustable company, Google, is going to pay you. Still, do you have any doubts about that? Hence, you will receive a payment on time without any delay. However, you are asked to earn a minimum of $100 to withdraw your money.
Free Account
Google AdSense account is entirely free to create and use. There are no hidden charges or anything.
Viewers Friendly Ad
If you have been in the internet world for so long, you realize the hectic pressure on blog post ads. If you click some buttons or links, the ads will redirect to their pages, and you will get worse at what you are trying to do.
But on YouTube, you don’t have any issues on that side. Different kinds of ads will show on the video when it’s playing; the most helpful thing is that it’s viewer-friendly. The ads won’t affect your video quality anyways.
Tips to Improve YouTube AdSense Earnings
The following tips help to lift your earning, so kindly consider them before making the video.
Traffic Locations
Your geographic traffic location determines the percentage of commission you will earn. If your traffic is from the U.S. or Australia, you’ll get a higher commission rate desired by the advertiser. For instance, if your traffic is more from Pakistan, and other developing countries, your commission rate is low compared to others.
Therefore, try to target audiences in the high commission rate zone.
The Topic of Channel
Always stick with the single niche on your channel. If you’re making random topic videos, it’s not good for video SEO and AdSense revenue.
Targeting a particular niche and earning more money from it is better.
Bonus Tip
Find and use the profitable keywords in your video tags. Generally, we call them rich keywords. To be frank, the keywords used on tags, titles, and descriptions determine the channel’s video views and income.
