How much do the you tubers make?
Some one told me for every 1 million hits they get for a video they make 3,000 USD. If thats true some of those lads are making over a million dollars a year and thats messed up. Anyone have more information?

I read an article in Wired about this a while ago. You can make a good living on YouTube videos. Of course you have to stay relevant, that's the hard part I would think.

Yup, it's crazy how much money people are making for doing nothing.

Someone posted a vid of their two sons fighting in the back seat, "Charlie bit my finger", and have made six figures or something. A young girl in Toronto posts reply videos to the most popular Youtube uploads, and has made something like two million dollars. People search for the popular video, hers comes up in the search, and people click on it.
Yea those chicks are terrible. I just click on there videos to hate on them, the amount of abuse they receive is amazing. Never thought we were making them rich hahaha
I could never figure out why a string of youtube videos on car repair, or guitars , guitar playing and guitar related would
have a racy video of a chick with ample cleavage interspersed in these videos..
now I'm starting to see the forest and the trees..they actually get money for every hit?
I find that a bit hard to believe, but there are some really stupid videos of idiots doing stupid things.Originally Posted by indexxx
Lots of unemployed with nothing to do and no life except to watch this?
It's become a different world out there..sigh!

My bad, she has not become a millionaire. But she does make a ton of money.

I think once you reach a certain minimum number of hits, you start generating revenue. And 'viral' videos can be like winning the lottery.
That may be part of the audience but where it really takes off is when a video goes viral, for whatever reason, someone thinks it's funny(or something) and e-mails a link to their freinds, then those freinds send it to their freinds, etc, etc......., also, YouTube has a "trending" page viewers can click on to see what's going viral at the moment.
You have to also apply for "partnership" and can be rejected for any number of things. You dont automatically start making money. But imagine some one like FPS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOoUVeyaY_8) Russia, he puts out a video every week and most make it up to 10-20+ million views. If it is actually 1-3 dollars per thousand views then he makes between 20-60k a week. Pretty mental for a 24 year old.
I personally love you tube and have a number of people I subscribe to and am really happy when they come out
I have been watching youtube channels more than TV for many years now. There is simply more original and interesting content than traditional TV. And I don't mind people getting paid directly for creating interesting content.
