welcome back to filtergrade today we're
0:05
talking about something fun
0:06
making money from youtube in this video
0:09
we're going to talk specifically about
0:11
ad revenue that you can get from the
0:13
youtube partner program
0:14
we'll cover how to optimize your videos
0:16
for ads and how to make more revenue
0:19
ads are far from the only way that you
0:21
can make money on youtube but that's
0:23
what we're focusing on today
0:25
outside of ads you can make money
0:26
through third party sponsorships
0:28
affiliate links and viewer donations to
0:32
anyways here are the best practices for
0:34
making the most of your ads
0:38
create ad friendly content the first
0:40
step to getting more youtube ad revenue
0:42
is by creating videos that abide by the
0:44
platform's guidelines so that you get
0:46
more ads on your videos
0:48
this might restrict a bit of creativity
0:50
but it's not hard to do it
0:52
stay away from overly violent content
0:55
sexual content drugs alcohol and other
0:58
that might restrict who can view the
1:00
video or restrict which advertisers
1:02
even want to be associated with that
1:05
mature content can still get ads but
1:08
will probably get far
1:09
less revenue than other videos youtube
1:12
allows some level of mature content but
1:14
it's not what they want to promote
1:15
especially to their advertisers if you
1:17
make content that is generally family
1:20
then you have a higher chance of getting
1:21
more high quality ads on your videos
1:23
and a wider variety of advertisers that
1:25
want to be associated with that type of
1:29
enable more ads there's a tipping point
1:31
for enabling too many ads
1:34
you can add pre-roll multiple mid-roll
1:38
but too many in-video ads can make your
1:40
audience frustrated by the constant
1:43
however more ads should generally mean
1:46
experiment with the number of ads you
1:48
have in your videos and see what works
1:50
and if anyone gets annoyed by the ads
1:52
if your viewership is going way down
1:54
maybe it's time to tone them back
1:56
make longer videos long videos can have
1:59
more ads placed on them
2:01
there used to be a 10 minute requirement
2:03
in order to place ads during the middle
2:05
in 2020 youtube changed this requirement
2:08
to only be eight minutes
2:10
eight minutes isn't all that long but it
2:11
couldn't be for youtube making videos
2:13
that are at least eight minutes long can
2:14
increase the number of ads you can put
2:17
however as we said there's a tipping
2:19
point for the number of ads that you
2:22
completely filling the video with ads
2:23
could have a negative effect on your
2:25
so be sure to experiment with the number
2:27
of ads over a long period of time
2:30
identify your best videos the best
2:33
videos for ads are not necessarily the
2:34
ones with the most views
2:36
you should pay attention to what kinds
2:37
of videos have the highest return per
2:40
each view on these videos is worth more
2:42
money than on another video
2:44
when deciding what videos to promote or
2:46
share on social media you should focus
2:48
on the ones that generate the highest ad
2:51
you can also use this to generate high
2:53
revenue video ideas for the future
2:55
you can do a bit of research on this
2:56
through keyword research tools
2:58
websites such as word tracker can show
3:00
you an estimated price per click for
3:03
if you can target topics that have a lot
3:05
of keywords that have a high price per
3:07
then you may attract more ads of higher
3:09
value now this doesn't always work
3:11
ads are not always perfectly targeted to
3:13
the content of your videos and even when
3:15
they are they're not necessarily going
3:16
to be absolutely ideal
3:18
if you make a video about cyber security
3:20
in order to take advantage of some
3:23
you may not always get cyber security
3:26
you might get a wider variety of
3:28
technology ads that don't have as high
3:31
so it can't hurt due to this research
3:32
but it may not always help
3:35
focus on ads rather than sponsorships
3:38
sponsorships can be fantastic for your
3:40
channel but an in-video ad from a
3:41
sponsor can scare off advertisers who
3:43
don't want that kind of conflict
3:45
youtube may replace an ad with an ad
3:47
from another advertiser
3:48
if there is a conflict this
3:51
theoretically shouldn't affect your ad
3:53
but if you want to be safe you should
3:55
only run ads on non-sponsored videos to
3:57
make the most of them
3:58
besides a sponsor might not want you
4:00
running ads for other companies on your
4:03
understand how ads fit if you don't
4:06
understand how ads will fit within your
4:07
videos then you'll risk losing viewers
4:09
who get annoyed by your ads
4:11
if you have a calm and relaxing video
4:12
that someone might have on in the
4:14
that a bunch of loud mid-roll ads might
4:16
cause them to leave the video and go
4:18
most of the time any kind of ad will
4:20
make sense for a video but certain types
4:22
of videos aren't conducive to all ads
4:25
just use your common sense here get more
4:29
while it's certainly possible to make a
4:30
lot of ad revenue without a massive
4:33
views will almost always help now this
4:35
is a completely different conversation
4:37
as getting more views on youtube is its
4:39
us telling you just to get more views
4:42
but if you are finding that your ad
4:44
revenue is low and your views are too
4:46
then you can try to create content that
4:50
hop on trends create a better version of
4:52
an existing video or answer a question
4:54
that no one else has answered yet
4:55
there are many ways to gather more views
4:57
on your content but as usual none of
5:00
just put in the work test and reiterate
5:02
and follow what works
5:05
what are your tips for increasing your
5:07
ad revenue have you had any luck with
