Ok so if you dont have a youtube account or use it as a social network thing.... Here's the deal I found lately even with my friends on youtube... They are applied for a youtube partnership.... Now that they can earn money with adsense. All these new partnerships there videos have less then 2,000 views. Unless your a Lisa Nova, Loneygirl15 etc.... these noobs are not gonna get their first paycheck for 12 months. And they had no idea about adsense before the introduction of the youtube revenue partnership. How much do you think the top guys on youtube like Dexflame and Lisa Nova makes with their partnerships? All their vids get like in the hundreds of thousands video views.
Does Daxflame use the partnership program? Anyway, if he does, I'll bet he makes at least $50 a day - probably a lot more. He's pretty funny.
maybe they know top video posters on youtube. Its kinda viral, some videos gets massive literally millions of views, so people are just making up numbers. However i would say video niche sucks so its definately not a high paying niche.
