He has a vid of himself recovering the thing from sticking the tail on the flight deck that has over 16 million views! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3idQKi5EqM Surely a few quid to be made for such a popular video?

NorthernLights24 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 My most viewed video on YouTube has a pretty pitiful 10,919 views. I've those invite emails before. I'd probably be making pennies! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-32REQXpqPg Link to comment
Bobby Connor Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 How this has nearly 5000 views I have no idea. I was just excited to be back up north - relieved from my exile in Manchester. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1FtKGtQ3ME Link to comment

Wow - yeah he probably could have made a few bob from that if it had been monetised when he first put it up... Just got an email saying my application for adsense had been accepted. Link to comment

The stupid simplicity of your work is worthy of wider recognition. I have to say the Zander video did likewise a few months back. Genius sir. Link to comment

K OK Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Anyone else receive this email? I just filled out the information for Adsense, is it legit? Link to comment
Dynamo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I've got a few vids on Youtube... all shit. Might stick a few more up. So when do you start making money? 500,000 views? More? Link to comment
actonsheep Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Does anyone actually sit through the ads on Youtube though? All this does is play an ad before your clip, which might cause grumpy bastards (me basically) to not bother. Or just hit the Skip Ad button which reduces your income. So you'd just lose views and still not earn any money.... Meh - turns out am speaking shite, and peopel do actually watch the ads. Bunch 'o' mugs! http://news.softpedia.com/news/70-Percent-of-Viewers-Don-t-Skip-YouTube-Pre-Roll-Ads-205654.shtml Link to comment
K OK Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Signed up with Adsense, but can't see any ads on my video and it doesn't show up in the Adsense site. This happen to anyone? Maybe take a few days, or I have just signed up and it didn't pass the eligibility test Link to comment
360 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I got one before because my video had a whopping 2000 views. Didn't bother signing up, though. It said I needed an account with Google's version of Paypal, couldn't be arsed setting it all up in order to make myself a suave 20p. Link to comment
Dandie1992 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Aye I'm on it. Still needs setting up proper though. Will do it once I have the time to get my comedy series back up. Link to comment
Big Man Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Signed up with Adsense, but can't see any ads on my video and it doesn't show up in the Adsense site. This happen to anyone? Maybe take a few days, or I have just signed up and it didn't pass the eligibility test Steady on there you crazy horse. First you register for an adsense account associated with your youtube account (can take several days to clear). Then you need to submit the video you want to make money from ''for monetisation'' to youtube. They'll check it and make sure there is no copyright infringement claims outstanding against any of the media used in your video - everything has to be 100% made and owned by you or usable through a creative commons license. Then you can start making the big bucks... Link to comment
