It's worth it because as you get more subs, you get money for doing a hobby you enjoy, bonus. Took several months for me to get the 1st payment but as my subs go up, I'm getting more money each month. Go for it, you've nothing to lose.

We don't all have interesting vlogs like yourself haha, & get to test ride a couple bikes a month.

I think because your an instructer & alot of people wanting to start biking would come across your channel first gives you an advantage. But it works so, Win, win

I love my job!!!!!!! Lol.

 

[Soulless82]

I never came across roadcrafts channel til later on I came across m13 - extreme601 - DANCBR1 - ParisianZee - Friz020 - carlstant1, so yeah just make sure you tag your vlogs with something that will get peoples attention.

I love my job!!!!!!! Lol.

I'd love your job, hehe. What made you decide you wanted to own a motorcycle shop & become an instructor?
You may have a video about it which I've missed but could be a topic to maybe mention in a vid?

I have earned a total of £5:80 in 2 months so by the end of a years vlogs I will have a total of £36ish which will buy me erm... some gloves at 40% off at my local dealership

Basically you get payed for adverts on your videos.. but to actually get any cash you need to make £100 before you get anything or something along those lines

Wonder if this is the case, I'm abit sceptical about adding my bank details to YT when the internet is so open theres a chance of them being stolen but I don't don't think I'd ever do it, got my job, touch wood I'll have it for alot longer aswell.

you don't add bank details, just and adress and they send you a cheque

 

[AZZ3R]

Walking into a bank to cash a £5 cheque can be slightly pointless, but if you had to earn over £100 to get it & then get the £100 aswell then that would be more than worth it. hehe. I may look into it, but I don't post as often as most on here.

 

[Chuckles85]

you need to earn over £10 before applying to recieve it I believe not £100

 

[gpzDave]

Once you earn £60 they send a cheque to your specified address, then every £60 thereafter.

That's a fact

I'm actually gonna do an "about me" vlog explaining all this (for anyone who's interested of course)

I don't want to fall into the trap of uploading all the time for the sake of it and want to keep the quality up too. I believe if you sort of spam loads and loads of uploads for the sake of it people may get bored and unsubscribe. I might even delete some of my earlier uploads now.

I had my first £60.00 in November and I earned £31.00 this Month, that's not bad for a hobby is it? Added to the fact I've had a few people start training with me off the back of my uploads too which is cool.

100% Agree, I'll watch vloggers I like that upload alot, but since about September I've been concentrating on getting HD vids up, nothing worse than watching a video with crap quality, I must have watched your Donington a few times.

Not bad atall, & thats always good news.

Anyone actually asked for a cheque rather than bank details?
Whats the speed if so?

 

[RoadcraftNottingham]

I gave bank details, no pin number or personal details required so it's safe and the money was paid straight in. Glad you like my Donington Vid, it's one of my faves, the bike sound makes the hairs stand up on my neck.

I don't know what it's like there but in the US they usually tell me a check is coming and it gets here between 1 and 1 1/2 weeks after the date they say it was sent. You can also look at your stats in Adsense and if you're over the payout threshold they'll tell you the date your next check will be sent.

I can tell you from experience that it would be difficult to even give you a reasonable estimate or average because it fluctuates so wildly. I've tried to figure out a formula or average and I gave up because its all over the place.

Agreed. However, these may help clarify things a bit... :geek:

* Invitation to Earn Revenue From Your YouTube Videos?

You’ll share in the income that YouTube makes from advertisers. This will amount to maybe $1 per 1,000 views. Could be pennies per 1,000 and it could be a couple bucks per thousand.

Where Youtube is now VS where it wants to be (regarding CPMs) in 2012 & beyond...

* YouTube to Advertisers: You Will Pay $20 CPMs for Dog-On-Skateboard Videos and You Will Like It

Mr. Kamangar gave the example of online videos that show dogs riding skateboards -- the types of videos that YouTube detractors love to say are dominant on the site. He said the platform could normally command about a $2 CPM for such a video. But if that same video were to be packaged within the confines of one of the new original-content channels on YouTube, adjacent to so-called premium video content, prices would rise.

"That same video can command a $20 CPM," he said. "How you brand and package matters."

* STREAMING DREAMS

If YouTube could get people to stay on the site longer, it could sell more advertising, and raise the rates it charges advertisers for each thousand views, which are known in the industry as C.P.M.s. (In spite of the fact that YouTube has a much larger number of users, it lags behind Hulu in C.P.M. rates, possibly because Hulu’s longer-format programming keeps viewers from leaving the site as quickly, and because advertisers prefer to be associated with the made-for-broadcast content that Hulu offers.) Advertisers spend some sixty billion dollars a year on television; they spend only about three billion on online video.

* Toyota, GM, Unilever Channel Big Bucks to YouTube

The deals work out to $15 to $25 per thousand views, competitive with broadcast TV ad rates. At a low-end sponsorship cost of $500,000 a month, an advertiser would need roughly 25 million impressions to net a $20 CPM -- unlikely for most startup channels.

I don't want to fall into the trap of uploading all the time for the sake of it and want to keep the quality up too. I believe if you sort of spam loads and loads of uploads for the sake of it people may get bored and unsubscribe.

Keeping content quality "up" is always a good idea. Also, don't make assumptions about stuff like upload frequency. Use your channel analytics to figure out what's best/optimal for both the content you produce & the audience it attracts. The latest Creator Playbook is remarkably comprehensive & minimizes all the guesswork involved in building a successful/lasting presence on Youtube... IMHO.
