How Much Money Can You Make Off YouTube

How much money can you expect to make from your YouTube channel? Can you really get rich producing videos for the YouTube audience.
YouTube offers a Partner Program to help you easily monetize your videos on YouTube. Once you are accepted into the program, upload a video “that you have created” on to YouTube, enable advertising for that video and wait for the money to pour in.
The current split is 55-45 so if Google sells $100 worth of advertising against a YouTube channel, the partner’s share is $55. But how much many can your really make off YouTube?
Mahalo founder @Jason recently shared some raw numbers for XHIT, a popular fitness channel on YouTube with half a million subscribers, and the revenue graph isn’t very encouraging.
The video channel has accumulated over 33 million views in the last 18 months and the total advertising revenue that the channel generated from YouTube in the same period is around $90k. That’s about $2.7 per 1000 views (CPM) which isn’t an impressive deal considering the kind of effort and resources that go into producing videos.

YouTube Earnings (in $)
The advertising revenue is almost directly proportional to the eyeballs.
For a majority of YouTube partners, the advertising revenue from videos may help pay the utility bills but only a few can expect to strike it rich. On the positive side, as @Jason says, YouTube does help build your brand on the Internet.

27 Simple mehndi designs for hands for Karwa Chauth

The most  simple mehndi designs for hands  for Karwa Chauth 2014 Karwa Chauth  is around the corner and I am so excited about getting mehndi done! This time I plan to go with a simple yet quirky design. Don’t want my hands full, however it needs to be a style statement for this year’s most awaited festival for us ladies! There are some basic categories of mehndi designs, such as Gujrati, Rajasthani, Marwari,  Arabic  and African  patterns to choose from. They have certain prominent motifs or symbols that distinguishes one from the other. I just can’t seem to stop experimenting with these styles. From  circles to squares , peacocks and paisleys , checks and dots and what not. But my all-time favorite is a simple, curling vine, of course finger tips covered with thick coating of aromatic mehndi (which is so traditional). Quirky patterns include  traditional  as well as non-traditional patterns tweaked to one’s own liking. This includ...

Kick new song Hangover: Salman Khan’s singing stint is impressive!

The  Kick  star has lent his voice for his new song  Hangover The wait is over.  Hangover  is here! Last time, Salman Khan floored us all with his tapori stint in song  Jumme Ki Raat alongside Jacqueline Fernandez who sizzled with her sultry moves, donning a hot red lace dress. It seems along with giving us killer action sequences and  Dabangg  one liners, our very own Sallu  miyaan  can sing as well! The  Jai Ho  star’s highly anticipated singing stint in  Hangover  is finally out and we are happy to report that the Bhaijaan of B-town has certainly pleasantly surprised us all with his voice which has elements of a sexy twang and a Salman’s casual laid back back feel to it. The song on the whole is romantic, with a hint of zing added to it which makes it appealing to the ears. The tune is catchy and the lyrics are simple, which make  Hangover  a pleasant melody overall. We wonder what the video of ...

I'm not back because of Salman: Mahek

Mahek Chahal, who got evicted from the " Bigg Boss" house earlier this month, is back. In conversation with DT, Mahek not only spoke about her fellow contestants accusing  Salman Khan   of promoting favouritism in the show, but also took digs at Akashdeep Saigal for using foul language and misbehaving with her. "It would be unfair to say that I have been selected as the wild card entry because of Salman Khan. Yeh sarasar jhooth aur bakwaas hai. My supporters saw me being humiliated on the show. If I'm back, it is only because of them and not because of Salman," she says. Now that the model-turned-actress has entered the house again, she wants to settle a score with all those who ill-treated her in the house. "There are certain issues which I want to clarify in the house. For instance, Sky maintains that he never abused anyone. Woh kehta hai ki usne logon ko gaali nahin di. But he hasn't only called me 'bhootni', but also bad-mouthed my family...
