I have a question and no one has been able to answer this. I get revenue from 1 of my YouTube videos, through AdSense ads, like everyone else,but what doesn’t make sense to me is one day I make 18$ the next 3 days I make consistently 2 cents and then one day I earn $5. I don’t understand why this is happening, because I receive the same amount of traffic and clicks each day.Any advice is appreciated!
@lisa3876 You rock! I think I’m finally getting the grasp of all this. The way I understand it is in three parts like this: 1- A website is created to provide information or “content” valuable to the viewer and to provide a landing page for Google ads. 2- A blog allows for more currently updated info and drives the viewers back to your site (where you hope to make more ad sales conversions), 3-You tube videos help support the three part cycle of of driving viewers back to your web content?
@robhoski Thx for this vid I used Pinnacle Studios and did not have an HD cam so the file size wasn’t that big. But now I use my Mac and an HD cam and use Final Cut Express. I can still do a 10-min vid in HD and stay under the file size limit.
Lisa, I heard you talk alot, but heard something different than what you were saying. The net is flooding with content! What I heard is to be successful you need to follow the model of having a website first, promoting it and then start a blog to drive interest to your PASSION subject or your website. or take voice lessons until you have a unique voice and spit out videos on youtube, lol
you are on the point on this topic.. nobody care about my poop blogs lol.
The topics that people love to hear about is what I will focus on with another blog. I compared my blogs by response and page views and will spend less time on personal type writing and re written news.
thanks for the advice lisa. After watching your videos and visting your site i started my site and its my third day of my blog and i have earned $1.40. I still got a long way to go but thanks and keep the video’s coming.
@lisa3876 At least you give valuable info my earnings from Adsense are actually at 1.42$ sucsk huh? My site has around 750 visitors but less than 2 $ !!!!!!
For me, AdSense is my 4th money maker but I still make enough to live on that money alone. So it depends on your site, what you promote and how well your products convert. You will find it’s different for every site.
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it. Is it true that the majority of income is earned through these recommended software and products? I heard that Ad Sense can only earn you so much.
Also, is it necessary to have a blog/website if one already has a YouTube account with 10,000 + subscribers? Thank you again.
Ok, I understand you. It would be better if people who already have a good stream of traffic and already have a good amount of visitors would sign-up for Google Adsense. That way they can earn a good amount of money from Adsense which motivates them, instead of earning a few cents. But, for beginners it shouldn’t be a strange idea to “play” a little bit with the program to learn how Adsense generates money. If they see the cents ticking by, they are more motivated to make it a serious business.
Luckily I have 7 to 10 percent CTR, only 20 visitor per day and making around $1 a day. I ended up checking my earnings every other hour instead of focused on adding more contents and building traffic. I felt ashamed of myself. Good vid as always Lisa!
Great tips Lisa it is so true, traffic needs to come first and to get good traffic you need to think of your users first and not Adsense or any kind of affiliate program.
