I find that a bit hard to believe, but there are some really stupid videos of idiots doing stupid things.

.... It's become a different world out there..sigh!

Dopplegangerr: 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.

... pretty unreal too.

I would rather read and post on CMF instead with my precious time.

I think people like fps Russia deserve money from their videos. They are entertaining, and a fair bit of work was put into them.

As for reply girl, it absolutely sickens me that she makes money, essentially off the backs of others. She sounds drunk, or high, and just makes comments on other peoples videos.

You have to actually get into the Youtube partner program before you can earn money from the videos. Once you are in the program you are able to earn money when videos click on the sponsored paid links.

If you video goes viral and your not in the program you earn zip.

Further more to get into the program you need to own the copyright for most of the video content. In the case of the FPS videos' mentioned video game videos are specifically excluded from the partner program.

Bottom line is it's a lot harder than you would think to make money from Youtube but it can be done.
