My 15 minutes video was averaging 3-6 . After making my videos 30 minutes, my RPM is now 7.5+
I make travel content. Majority audience is from US , and TV. Do u have advice how to improve RPM ? Maybe use certain words or topics that can get high paying ads? Thanks in advance!
I am relatively new to this problem but I run a 3d printing and tech YT channel. I finally reached a point where I have too many really nice 3d printers that were sent by brands ( I know good Problem to have)
But these are $1000+ machines and I’m wondering do you sell them or give them away to friends and family.
I don’t have a huge following but I feel like throwing it online to sell runs the risk that someone who knows my channel will see me selling stuff and it looks bad, but also I could use the money to buy stuff brands won’t send to review. Even second hand $500-700 is a decent chunk of change for my channel.
What do you guys do?
hello everyone. this is my problem. my name has ñ, that is what on my adsense account. but on my bank account, the ñ is n. my bank can't do the ñ. will i still be able to get my youtube salary?
Hey guys, I need real experiences with this.
Back in November, I switched my AdSense on the 24th, and when December payments came, all the earnings went to the new AdSense.
Now I’m in a similar situation. I switched my AdSense on March 25th. I’m trying to understand where my March earnings will go? New AdSense or the old one?
This is important for me because I’ve moved to another country, and it would be a problem if the money goes to the old account.
Logically, since it worked that way in November, it should be the same now but I’m still not 100% sure.
If anyone has real experience switching AdSense on the 25th–31st of the month, where did your earnings go the following month?
I have multiple YouTube channels, and my monetized channel is currently working without any issues.
One of my channels (a sub-channel with no uploads) was banned for spam for unknown reasons. About a week later, my monetized main channel was also banned. I was told that if I do not submit an appeal by August 2026, the channel will be permanently deleted.
This all happened in November last year.
However, after submitting an appeal, my monetized main channel was restored, and it has been running without any problems since then.
But the sub-channel that was banned for spam is still terminated.
What should I do in this situation?
Is it better to just leave it as it is, or should I submit an appeal?
Anyone following this? Meta and YouTube just lost lawsuits claiming harm to children based specifically on algorithmithic design, auto play, endless scrolling, etc. to deliberately engineer addiction for profit. Millions paid out to just 1 plaintiff.
They're saying these rulings are going to open the floodgates. Already 2000 similar lawsuits pending.
Hey all,
I'm having issues with linking a new adsense account to my youtube channel. I recently changed countries and had to set up a new adsense.
So my first one got disapproved due to duplicate issues and closing all my accounts didnt work.
So the only thing I can do is wait 32 days to link a brand new one.
So 32 dayscame, I got my 'change association' button back on step 2.
What I did was I deleted my old adsense account (the one that was disapproved), deleted the payments profile too, and clicked 'changed association' and made a completely brand new one.
however on my step 2 instead of saying 'reviewing your info', it was somehow still linked to my old deleted adsense.
i contacted youtube support who told me i shouldnt have deleted my old account before linking my new one, so now I have to reactivate my old account, wait 21 days to place a new payment profile in (as i deleted it), before i can get my 'change association' button again, and try again.
like how was i supposed to know to do this?
anyone experienced this before and know how to get past this?
im compeltely at loss here, first it was wait 32 days, now its wait 21 days.
youtube support is completely useless. every single advice theyve given me has brought me more issues which makes me think they dont really know what they are saying.
please any advice would be appreciated.
i do get a fair amount from adsense so its like losing income for 2++ months now, and more
Hi everyone, I’m a content creator focused on art and I’ve been trying to figure out how people actually land brand deals. Right now my income from content is close to zero because I mainly post short-form videos, and I’m trying to take the next step into paid collaborations.
I have around 114k followers on Instagram and about 273k subscribers on YouTube, but I’m not sure how to properly leverage that into deals. I feel like I’m missing something when it comes to outreach, pitching, or even positioning myself.
For those who have successfully worked with brands, how did you get started? What actually makes a brand say yes? And how do you approach them in a way that gets a response?
Any practical advice would really help. Thanks 🙏
Been asked before, but many of the posts I found were either 5+ years old or didn't have clear answers.
I make video game journalism content (reviews and news coverage) and 90% of the time, I use my own recorded content, and the other 10%, I use official clips from the first-party source (developer, publisher, etc). My videos are all simply footage with a VO–I don't edit the footage at all aside from cuts.
I recently checked the "Content detection" section in YouTube Studio and found that there were over 100 videos listed that had at least a 60% match to my content, and the majority of them were my exact footage with the audio muted and their own VOs added, with no visual editing of any kind. They were all mostly from different channels, and many of them were in languages other than English so I wasn't able to tell if it was translations or just a brand new VO.
In any case, with gaming content, am I being fair if I send removal requests? Typically I would just go with it without asking since they're essentially re-uploads, but am I still in the clear if its gaming content, since I technically don't claim ownership of the games, or is it viewed in a way where the edit is what I own?
I curious where I stand when it comes to RPM. I know it depends on some factors, audience, etc. I have been monetized for a month now, probably still calculating. My audience is age 45 and older and 97% U.S. my current RPM is $8.10.
I'm really confused what's happening. My YouTube analytics are correct, but on adsense it's showing $0 every single month I've ever been paid.
Can someone explain this to me please?
I need advice guys.
I monetized my YouTube channel on April 2 (around 10am). I was expecting revenue data to show today (April 4). I realized the update was done around 5am, but it only shows YouTube premium revenue. There is no data for Watch page ads. I have checked my videos with multiple devices, and can confirm that ads are playing on all of them. The dollar sign is also displayed across all videos.
Is this normal? Had about 10,000 views on April 2.
Hi I make AI anime pop girl group. kinda similar to kpop. you might wanna support me. 😊

Does anyone have a way to get in touch with youtube support? I want to request a review on one of my videos but i want to actually talk to someone about the review because I want to understand why it's limited so that i can grade my videos better. But i keep looping through "what can we help you with" and not getting anywhere. Any time "get help from youtube support" is an option, the cycle starts over. I just want to talk to someone.
I've been getting quite a few sponsorship offers over the last year that are obviously scams. However, there are also some of which I'm not entirely sure and can't really tell immediately.
My question is: how do you guys usually deal with this?
Obviously, I'm not going to take or follow up with any offers that I don't trust. But with the ones you're not entirely sure about, do you just ignore it completely, or do you politely decline the offer by replying to the e-mail?
Is there any potential harm in simply replying to the e-mail, if it does turn out to be fake/a scam? Assuming you don't engage with, or open anything they send after?
Hey everyone,
I recently started a YouTube channel and I’m working toward reaching the monetization requirements. I’ve been posting short videos (under 10 minutes), mostly based on series content — but some of them have copyright claims.
To be honest, I only posted these videos because I’m struggling to fully understand the monetization rules and wanted to grow the channel somehow.
Now I’m not sure what to do next. Before applying for monetization, should I make those claimed videos private or leave them as they are?
Has anyone here gone through a similar situation? Did copyright-claimed content affect your approval?
Any advice or experience would really help. Thanks!
Niche: PC & gaming optimization, including multiple videos hitting 200K+, 100K+, and 40K+ views, then started uploading twitch vods from IRL famous streamers +$45 per 1K views

The channel previously generated high CPM (+$45 per 1,000 views) with IRL Twitch streamer content — a strong monetizable niche with scalable potential. (Currently $30 per 1K views)
I used to stream fortnite in 2019/2020 with 80-120 viewers
Channel currently has $50.86 made from videos
I tried escrow with a buyer and they charge $50
Serious buyers only.
Scammers stay away, don't even waste my time
I've noticed that if I search for a certain topic on YouTube, some of the videos in search results do not have their thumbnail displayed, instead it's a random frame from the video itself, as if a thumbnail was not uploaded. It applies to both my videos and also other YouTubers' videos. And if I refresh the results enough sometimes the thumbnail does come back. That's the situation on both the android app and on desktop.
Is this a known problem on YouTube and how long has this been going on? Thumbnails are such an important aspect of videos to get people to watch them.
I have 21 million views in the past 4 months (most of them came in the last 90 days), yet my public shorts views for the monentization counter won't pass 9 million. Total b*llshit. And no, I don't post AI.
