Global Trade & Economy How many YouTube views does it take to make $100?

There are a lot of variables that factor into how much you make on YouTube. Creators are paid per click on banner and in-video ads. So you could get 10,000 views or 50,000 views and make $100. What matters is how relevant the ads are to your audience and if they click them or not.

1. Sign in to the YouTube account you want to monetize.
2. Click the icon for your account in the top right corner.
3. Click YouTube Studio.
4. In the left menu, select Other Features > Monetization.
5. Read and agree to the YouTuber Partner Program terms.
6. Create a new Google AdSense account or connect an existing one to your channel.

According to data collected by Business Insider, 1 million YouTube views can net you between $3,400 and $40,000.

The only way to make money from YouTube without producing videos is to re-use other creators’ content. YouTube has a library of videos that fall under the Creative Commons license. This license lets you publish other people’s content and earn money from it. If you find a video with the CC-BY license, you can use and tailor it to your liking.
