Building a vast network of viewers for your channel is not an easy task. It takes time and effort to grow your subscribers and views.
Once you achieve a successful number of viewers, generally, the next step may be to monetise your videos.
According to various statistics, top YouTubers earn millions every year, most of which comes from the AdSense ads shown in their videos.
What is YouTube AdSense?
AdSense is a platform for YouTubers to earn money or monetize their channel through advertisements.
Basically, it is a Google advertising platform for publishers wherein you can sell your ad spaces to advertisers.
Types of AdSense ads
The types of ads will affect your earnings. There are primarily 2 types of AdSense ads; banner ads and full screen video advertisements:
- Banner ads are rectangular ads that appear at the bottom of the video and only appear when the video begins.
- Video ads, on the other hand, cover the entire screen. Advertisers typically use these ads for promoting a brand, presenting a short tutorial for the product of service or to showcase customer testimonials.
What makes you eligible for channel monetization?
