When you log in to Youtube using your Google account, you automatically get a channel that you can name, add an image, and even put in a description for the same, depending on the context and the kind of content you want to upload. Once done, you can start uploading your videos onto Youtube and if you are lucky, the algorithm will help push the video so that people can watch it and enjoy it.

Getting Monetised on Youtube
Once you start getting some traction as a content creator on Youtube, you can start earning for the effort. There is a common misconception that your channel needs to have a certain number of views in order to be eligible for monetization, but that is not true. In actuality, in order to qualify for the Youtube Partner Program, your channel must satisfy the following pre-requisites –
- No active community guideline strikes. This means that the content on your channel must not violate any of Youtube’s policies and must conform to the unique community guidelines put forward for your particular niche.
- Your channel must have at least 1000 subscribers. However, you must ensure that the growth is organic. Purchasing subscribers via third-party agents will be caught and your channel can also be blacklisted.
- Your videos must have a combined 4000 public watch hours. Even here, the algorithm is designed to clock natural view hours, so any attempt at malpractice in this regard, and once again, your channel can face consequences.
Once your channel satisfies the aforementioned conditions, you can apply to be a part of the Youtube Partner Program, and once accepted, you will start seeing targeted ads placed into your videos and whenever your viewers interact with the ad, you start getting paid a small amount.
How much exactly does Youtube pay per view?
While the compensation varies according to the channel and the kind of content that is put on there, a study has revealed that a content creator will earn $0.18 per view on average. The lower ceiling was found to be $0.1 and the upper ceiling was found to be around $0.3.
The average YouTube channel receives around $18 for every 1000 ad views. This works out to about 3 to 5 dollars per 1000 video views.
