Okay, I guess I would be able to turn off ads on my videos ? That would be nice :)

That will be my next thing to aim for then :D

Ugh, I hate ads on the videos themselves. It's just too annoying, especially when it suddenly comes banging out my speakers when I least expect it :(

Yes, having ads is 100% up to you.

No ads = less money.

Ok so let me just say that unless you're really popular, partner isn't that good. My friend was partner, and I tried and failed (I can actually apply again tomorrow; it's been 2 months. I won't, but…).
You really don't get much money, and you might not get any at all.
However, of you are partner, you get:
Promoted videos
Unlimited video lengh
Channel design features
Payment
Ads in your videos :(

Does anyone want me to go thru the complex process of achieving partnership and them getting payed?

Also, reading these posts made me laugh a LOT! :lol: :lol:

Ray william Johnson gets (a suspected) 5 figure salary from YouTube simply for posting a video twice a week..

Thats excluding his other channels (he has 2, equally popular ones, YourFavouriteMartian which whenever he uploads a video gets over 5 million views in 3 days, and BreakingNYC, his daily vlog which used to get around 300k hits a day)

With those views, he makes ALOT of money. So he may be unfunny, but he's a rich unfunny guy.

I'm only really bothered about that one ;) And I'm pretty sure I would be able to turn off the ads. I'm sure I said this before, I am not interested in making money from this, well not from advertising anyway.

You get about $1500 for every million view. YouTube is scheap like that; 5¢ per every thousand views. how many subs/views does he have?

Depends on the exposure you get. One guy bought a 2010 car only from YouTube money.

Well yeah it's entirely based off popularity. You need like 1000 or more subs, or 50,000 views to make it. Then you get about 5¢ for every 1000 views, and 50¢ every time someone clicks a link in an advertisement. Plus you don't get any money until you've earned $100. So unless you're EXTREMELY popular, you won't get a lot of Money.
(Youd also need a lot of advertisement-seeker/followers…)

The partnered account I had together with some friends made money without getting alot of views. We just opened an adsense account on the same gmail account as youtube was on, and got payed instantly. Every 5k views = $5. No exceptions. Every 100 subscribers, $10, no exceptions. Channel views, same there, 10k views = $5. It really wasn't that hard at all. We applied, got partnered, got payed. No hassle.

If you can get money from this, why not?

It personally doesnt bother me atall the adverts, because i know that you get something out of the good quality tutorials you make.

, Oh yeah, and i saw a video with a 15 minute advert before hand.. Thank god that had a skip advert 3 seconds in ;)

Adblock can remove the video ads, I really hate using youtube without it ;)

Partners can also live stream, which would be cool.

How many views / subscribers did you have when you applied ?

They also don't make it very clear how many you need :?

Took us 6 months give or take a month. I don't think it'll take you that long... All you need is a few people actively pushing you in the right direction. And I have no problem helping :)

YouTube doesn't take partners merely based on your numbers.

Some people have loads of views and subscribers, and don't get partnered as they do not necesarily have high quality videos, original content, that sort of thing.

There are others who are partnered with a much fewer number of upload / channel views but do get accepted to partnership.

Although if you want a benchmark, somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 upload views would be required before contemplating the application. Although, the focus should not be on increasing the numbers for it, rather on producing high quality, original videos (as you do), and working from there.

I've noticed that! It's good :) That's probably why your videos rock ;)
