Creating content on YouTube for the past 4 years has allowed us to see a variety of ways to make money from YouTube, which we didn’t know existed back then.
However, monetizing with Adsense and seeing a decent number of dollars requires time and effort.
Because of this, we’d like to share with you a number of other methods that we know of now.
These methods are ones that you can use to make money from YouTube without monetization.
Adsense – What is it?
In simple words, It is a program run by Google that allows publishers in the Google Network of content sites to serve automatic text, image, video, or interactive media advertisements, that are targeted to site content and audience.
Through which content creators, and bloggers generate revenue on either a cost-per-click or per-impression basis.
Requirements for Google Adsense Approval
To qualify for Google Adsense and begin monetizing, a channel must require at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 valid public watch hours, both of which are challenging goals to reach.
Adsense – What are the drawbacks?
As we all know, Adsense is one of the most popular ways to make money from YouTube.
However, there are some drawbacks to using Google Adsense that you should be aware of before you start using it
(1) Adsense is a CPC (cost-per-click) advertising program, which means you only make money when someone clicks on an ad.
This can be a problem if you have a lot of viewers who don’t click on ads, or if your videos don’t get a lot of views.
(2) Google Adsense ads can be annoying and intrusive, which can turn some viewers off.
(3) You need to have a certain number of views before you can start earning money from Adsense,
so it can take some time to start seeing a decent income.
(4) In Google AdSense, CPC is not the same for each category,
for example: Entertainment, comedy, gaming, arts and crafts, commentary videos, and music videos have a very low CPC rate, particularly in countries like India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc.
However, Finance, Investment, Cooking, Health, Insurance, Loans, SEO, and digital Marketing Blog have a very high CPC rate in any country.
Hence, if you want to earn a decent income, you should focus on this category.
similarly, you need to have expertise in that particular category
otherwise you will have difficulty maintaining your channel in the long term.
(5) Google Adsense earnings can fluctuate greatly from month to month, so it’s not a reliable source of income.
5 things to keep in mind before signing up for Adsense:
(1) Adsense can be a great way to earn extra income from your website.
Although, it’s important to remember that you won’t get rich overnight. It takes time and effort to build up a significant income.
(2) Adsense income can fluctuate greatly from month to month.
This can be frustrating if you’re relying on the income to pay bills or make ends meet.
(3) You’ll need to have a decent amount of traffic to your website before you can start earning a significant income from Adsense.
If you don’t have much traffic, you may want to consider other ways to monetize your website.
(4) Before applying, don’t forget to review once again your content and make sure none of the videos break Adsense rules,
If so, delete or correct any videos that do, otherwise you will get in trouble in the future.
(5) Last but not least, don’t rely on Adsense income.
Since YouTube has a very strict policy, you will never know if you have violated it. YouTube will terminate your channel instantly, and all your effort will be wasted.
