How to earn income from YouTube ed. Estimated income from YouTube advertising – how to find out? General questions about subscription
In Los Angeles on October 21, Google unveiled its new YouTube subscription service, called Red. It costs $9.99. By paying this amount, you will be able to enjoy watching content without ads, save videos to later watch them offline. You can also exit the application and continue listening to the audio track from the video. Subscribers will also have access to the Play Music service. And last but not least, YouTube promises to begin releasing a series of exclusive shows specifically for Red subscribers next year.
Using YouTube without ads is simply more enjoyable and faster. It's like driving a car without speed limits. You can click the “offline” icon under any video and save it so you can enjoy watching it later without connecting to the network. Also, before downloading, you can select the video quality to save memory in your device.
The background video playback feature can also be very useful. For example, I often watch clips on YouTube, although I listen more than I watch, and I have to stop them every time I receive new messages. This feature also allows you to play videos while in other applications or simply by turning off the screen.
Another perk of a paid subscription is new exclusive shows that will be produced together with popular vloggers such as PewDiePie, Lilly Singh and The Fine Brothers. YouTube already did something similar in 2012, spending $100 million on it, only then television stars were involved in this kind of show. Now such videos will be filmed with people who have become popular thanks to the well-known service. Everything will be done at the Hollywood level and will be very well financed, because... It is precisely due to this that Google plans to force users to pay that very ten each month. Netflix and Hulu have been developing in much the same way for a long time.
YouTube Red will work in conjunction with the company's new music app, which will launch around the end of this year. If you're a Red subscriber, you can easily switch between streaming music and video and create offline playlists. Additionally, a YouTube Red subscription gives you access to Google Play Music, and vice versa. All this means that for $9.99 you get access to a good music streaming service, ad-free video viewing, and the ability to enjoy content offline. By comparison, Apple Music and Spotify subscriptions cost about the same.
So, you can pay for a subscription, watch videos without ads and enjoy various additional features. Or you may not pay and you will still have the same YouTube with advertising. Next year, several dozen videos will be available only to paid subscribers, and only a measly 99.9% of YouTube will remain free.
No vlogger has put up a paywall for their content, which is why 98% of videos on YouTube are now available to everyone for free. So, stop, there’s still 2% left. Are these principled creators who went against the system? Who made their videos available only to the rich with a paid subscription, and let the poor suffer? In general, no. In fact, this two percent includes large corporations like Disney, who believe that they will get more from a paid subscription than from regular YouTube. What do users think about the new service?
Looking at it closely now, the cons heavily out weight the pros. I honestly hope that #YouTubeRed trail fails so they can rework it. - sp00kyxCity (@GlitchxCity) October 28, 2015

Statistics
If you have connected your channel to Google AdSense, income statistics are available to you.
To view it, log into your account, open Creator Studio and select Youtube Analytics in the menu on the left, and then Income.
You will be shown a report that shows your channel's expected net profit from all types of advertising for the reporting period.
It contains detailed statistics on several articles: ↓
This report will let you know how much income you can expect from your Youtube channel.
Keep a few things in mind when using this information: ⇓⇓⇓
- The indicated estimated income often does not coincide with the real one, since it does not take into account profit from advertising in affiliate networks and some other criteria
- The report is updated every 24–48 hours. Sometimes this may happen less often
- The report on the results of the previous month appears on the AdSense payment page no earlier than the 15th day of the current month
If AdSense stopped accruing income
Some bloggers are faced with a problem - money from AdSense advertising stops being credited. However, they do not receive any warnings or announcements from the system.
Why is this happening.
The reason why Youtube Analytics may stop accruing income is invalid clicks .
If you are disenrolled from the program, you can appeal. However, please note that if you are still denied account restoration, you will not be able to create a new one on AdSense.
Therefore, file an appeal only if you are completely sure that you are right - for example, if your account was hacked or otherwise suffered from the actions of attackers.
Why did profits fall?
At the beginning of the year, many bloggers noticed that advertising income had dropped significantly. What caused this and when will everything return to its previous level.
→ The fact is that the cost of impressions and clicks is not the same throughout the year. At the end of 2016 it was high. This is due to high consumer demand on the eve of the holidays.
What is YouTube doing about this? - It reduces the cost of views and clicks.
Therefore, this phenomenon is temporary. As consumer demand begins to rise again, advertising revenue will rise as well.
Where can I see information about the income of a YouTube channel? What does YouTube Analytics income consist of?
The most popular video service in the world began to choke on advertising. Today, the owner of even the smallest channel connects an affiliate program and “hangs” his videos with advertising inserts. In addition, on larger channels, the authors do not hesitate to insert 2-3 more of their advertisements into 10-minute videos.
In order to somehow protect the user from constant waiting and rewinding, Google decided to create a special service YouTube Red.
On the one hand, those who wish can turn off advertising for money (of course, this only applies to commercials from the service itself), and on the other hand, YouTube is starting to make money not only from advertisers, but also from users.
What is YouTube Red
YouTube Red is a premium YouTube service that is distributed by subscription. Users can watch videos without advertising, download videos for offline viewing, and play video and audio content in the background on mobile devices.
In addition, YouTube Red subscribers get access to exclusive videos and shows.
Where does YouTube Red work?
Since the end of 2015, the service has been operating in the United States; later, users from Australia, Mexico, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea became able to subscribe to YouTube’s “goodies” (the last one on the list looks rather strange).
How much does a subscription cost?
You can use the service for free for the first month, after which you need to pay $9.99 monthly. There are no benefits, discounts or promotional codes provided.
Who needs it
Let's go through all the features of the service and figure out which ones are worth shelling out a lot for $9,99 per month.
Background playback music on YouTube + subscription to Google Play Music does not evoke any emotions among owners of Apple equipment.
Offline mode needed in extremely rare cases. Usually, if we are going to some wilderness without the Internet, we stock up on movies and TV shows in our favorite player in advance. If your device is jailbroken, you can also save videos from YouTube.
There is only one compelling argument left in favor of YouTube Red - exclusive shows and series from the most popular YouTube creators. Of course, all content in this section is in English and is aimed at viewers from the USA and Australia.
In terms of content quality, American YouTube has gone far ahead of the domestic one; good profits allow authors to seriously invest in creating videos.
The picture, sound and effects on some channels in the US have long been on par with television shows like Mythbusters or Discovery projects. Professional cameramen and directors are invited to film, and a special team writes scripts for the next episode.
It turns out that for $9.99 the domestic viewer receives an extensive database of English-language shows and series, and as a bonus they can give up the “crutches” of turning off advertising and watching videos offline.
