The Easier it seems to make money from it, the hard it is in real life. You have to put a lot of hardwork, for years to set up a new blog. The problem with this is, there are more than 2 billion websites or blogs worldwide and thousands of blogs are registered everyday, when the market is wide, the saturation and traffic depends on SEO(Search Engine Optimization) which means only those blogs which have a better traffic and SEO will be on top results in Google Search that’s why it is hard for a new blog to rank.

 The journey seems hard, it is but not impossible . There are many successful Bloggers who went from Zero to Maximum. once set up, You can monetize your Blog with Google Adsense and earn upto 1000 $ a month or even more. Just Remember,

Now, Youtube has the same scenario, here also, You can post videos for free in any niche but here also the success depends on SEO. If your video has good content and is in under Youtube’s Policies then after some time. Youtube algorithm will automatically starts promoting your video. 

Youtube also need a lot of hardwork and patience to get a success. Talking about money, it depends on many factors like demographics, Geographic Location, CPM (Cost per Mile) and CPC ( Cost Per Click)etc.

Firstly, You have to complete 4000 hours watch time and 1000 subscribes on your channel. Now talking about money, So basically it depends where the Ad is playing, if the Ad is playing in countries like US, UK and Australia, their CPM is very high around 6-8$ which is quite high but talking about India, here CPM and CPC is quite low, which is not even a dollar. The low CPM is also because of low quality of ads.

The revenue and monetized views also depends on geographic locations like if your ad is playing in Delhi, Mumbai etc. You can get  good revenue from it, but If it is playing in some rural area, it will not give you that much or even nothing. For Example – Zomato ad will be played only where Zomato services exist but if your viewers are not from some high class metro cities. You will definitely receive low revenue. Above, I have  talked about Monetized views. So, Ads are not played on every viewer who watches. For Ex – If your views are 1000 but the Ad played only on 300, your monetized views will be 300 only. It depends on various factor like IP switching, geographic locations etc. and after all this, Youtube will charge 45 % of your revenue and the creator gets only 55%. Yes, Youtube is hard but if you give a quality content to viewers, you will definitely grow up and yes here also hardwork is mandatory. You should be consistent and engaging with your Viewers. So, All the best for your Journey.
