How much views a video needs in order to start getting money from youtube? Is it like an option to turn on in the youtube account for payed ads or something?

(Not changing professions just yet, I'm just curious ;) )

The current partner requirements are pretty much joke. Nowdays anyone can be a partner if the want to and it leads to the annoying "look at my channel / shoutout me" comments in the videos and PMs.

Anyways, you just need 1,300 subs, channel clean from copyrighted content and some views. After you have done that you get contacted, agreement and then you can add AdSense ads boxes to the video pages and earn tiny amount of money. If you get a lot of views, you get more.

Alternatively, if you are bad big boy, you could just become blackhat seo and build sites with just Ads on them, linkfarms and get 10x more as you can get way more views with less of a work ;)

Where are you getting your information? That's not true at all. They made it a lot harder to become a partner now days. They have no set requirement for the amount of subs you need to become a partner or anything.

Darn, need to have a clean youtube record / without copyright infringement? Guess my idea is out. I wanted to become internet-famous by doing covers of songs and voice acting for anime similar to that of LittleKuriboh and TeamFourStar.

Meh, I'll do it anyway.

I know many people who do covers to songs. Or, what you could do is do covers of songs that are popular that way you get a lot of views, and when you apply for partnership just private all the videos with copy written material.

Oh, I see. Didn't realize you'd still get a partner request. I don't plan on starting the project for a while, though. For now I just upload piano / instrumental covers/remixes like every half a year... :p

You don't get partner request, you have to apply. If a video of yours starts getting a lot of views very fast then they will automatically send you a request to put ad revenue on JUST that one video, but to get ads on all of your videos you have to apply.

And they said that youtube isn't making money... Yeah right.

[FunRoomSite]

For some reason, this makes me really want to start getting into youtube more than I already am. Quick, everyone give me your video ideas! :p

Machinima probably earns a bomb. :p

I've been dancing in my underwear on YouTube for years, and I've only made $7.

And they said that youtube isn't making money... Yeah right.

Are you saying that Google is lying in their financial statements filed with the government, and in all their interaction with the media? Quite the conspiracy you're suggesting. I think there's a separate forum section for that. Reality is probably simpler. Google made $2bn overall in the first three months this year, so they can afford to spend money on things they believe are important to their long term strategies.

Looks like Theoretical Internet Money is now turning into Real Money.

Dramatic Chipmunk and Chocolate Rain boy would have been so rich

Machinima has staff and own partners tho ;) Working on Machinima is hard office work and being partner earns you pancakes.
