How to Make Money With Your YouTube Videos

Many people uploading their videos on YouTube without knowing that they can earn from it. But it is not that easy though because you will need an Adsense account and link it to your YouTube account. And to be approved in Google Adsense is somewhat difficult for first timer because you will need an updated blog or website.

I don't even know this kind of opportunity before until I got approved in Google Adsense last 2012. But I started creating YouTube videos on Feb. 2013 about "how to find your wifi password on windows 8". And it just wen't very well, actually that video has been my top earner. I don't have much YouTube videos because I am more on writing articles than creating Video.

I tried to compare my Google Adsense Performance and YouTube Analytics, and confirmed that YouTube videos pay more. So, I am trying to upload more videos from now on. If I will to calculate my earnings if I will upload 1,000 videos, then I would be earning not less than $500 a month. I just hope that I will make it next year. Below is my earnings for now on 35 YouTube videos. And every month I can earn around $15 - $20. It only means more videos, more income.
