When should I expect to see revenue (how many views)

[Benau]

Hey all! Benau here,

When should I expect to see revenue? I only have about 300 views total but see estimated earnings less than half a dollar.

When do you usually see an increase?

Try again when you hit 10,000 or more views. Each monetized view will only give you a cent or fraction thereof at this level, and not every view will count as a monetized view.

Keep uploading! Two videos isn't enough to really earn you any money. I have over 200.

Yeah I'm going to have to agree with UK
You should wait til you are around 10k views and a few thousand subs.

Thanks so much for the feedback, I'll keep working hard![DOUBLEPOST=1480292962,1480292943][/DOUBLEPOST]

Thanks so much, I'll be patient!

Keep uploading great content - I would say that after 6 months you may reach enough revenue to be sent your first cheque.

I just started YouTube a month and a half ago and have around 50 videos up already. I make vlogs and other various videos, I almost hit 3k total views and I DONT monetize my videos for the sole reason that it could bring a bigger audience and revenue is so little at the beginning level in my eyes it isn't worth it yet. However everyone is different, I would say when your hitting at least 1-3k views per video then monetize them/expect to earn a good residual income.

On average you'll get a dollar per 1k views. Could be higher or lower, but on average it's more or less close enough.

Are you sure about this?? a dollar per 1k? I've made almost 10 dollars and my channel has almost 3k total views so how is that possible. so 600k views is 600 dollars?

"average"
It can go up or down, depending on genre and advertisers. Holiday season also will give higher revenue than say February in the middle of nowhere. 600k views would be 600 +/-
It's also where the average metric of big tubers with 1 bil views = 1mil dollars (not counting sponsorships/paid promotions/etc/etc/etc)

Literally if you're worth a lot to advertisers they can give 20-30-50 bucks per 1k views if they wanted to. But $1 is the common average most analytics use.

That would be pretty great! Thanks![DOUBLEPOST=1480345870,1480345755][/DOUBLEPOST]

That makes sense, I have another channel that I did something similar for but the content on that one is way different. I pull in a solid amount of views per day with that one (50k usually). Thanks so much for the info![DOUBLEPOST=1480345965][/DOUBLEPOST]

That would be pretty good. It makes a lot of sense. Thanks so much!
