New YouTube Ambition. Is it worth it?

[Pablo121]

Hi Guys

I'm thinking in starting YouTube because of Covid.

However, I am slight confused about all the CPM, Analytics and Monetized Playbacks and Content ID rules and was wondering if anyone would be able to help?

1. I have read YouTube takes 45% Cut. I wanted to check is the CPM before or after YouTube takes a cut. For example if it states my CPM is $5, would my 'actual' CPM be $2.75.

2. Monetized Playbacks. I wanted to check what actually is a Monetized Playback and How it works?

Do I get paid per view or per monetized view? So if a viewer clicked on my video I would not get any earnings unless they view advert? If for example I have 10 minute video and first advert is roughly in 3 minutes in the video. Would that mean that anyone that leaves the video before 3 minutes I would not earn?

In relation to advert. How does this work? Would they have to watch the entire advert to be classed as monetized view? What if the person skips the advert?

How does it change if YT premium viewer watches my video? Does that mean I dont earn as they dont have adverts on their videos.

Using the above $5 CPM (1000) Example. If I get 100K views in a video and only 50% are monetized views (just using random basemark. Is this even accurate lol). Then I would be earning:

$5 x 100(Views Divided by 1000) x 55% (After YouTube Cut) x 50% Monetized View = $137.50 per 100,000 Views. Is this correct?

3. Content ID. I'm a Chef by profession and wanted to basically do a commentary on people cooking and just add value on the style and how I would do differently? I dont want to show my face but I am happy to talk but was bit confused on the rules.

Visual Content ID - This is the one I'm worried about. I know the content ID matches a Video if it is Over 10-15 Secs. I will not use copyright audio, only talking.

However, I don't want to be speaking for every second of the video as this will frankly annoy people. Would that mean that if I dont speak for 15 Seconds and it matches the visual content of the persons video I'm reviewing, then basically i will be matched by content ID and my entire video will be demonetized.

Would this mean that I will be striked and banned and this idea is non starter?


I apologized for asking too many questions. Sorry. I hope everyone is staying safe

Thanks

1) Its after. If you displayed CPM is $5, your actually getting around $9.50. Youtube takes its cut out first way before displaying your earnings to you. This is done to prevent chaos.

2) Yes per monetized view. Most people have a ad before the video to help solve that issue. You can have multiple more in other spots but most people drop off after 30 seconds so near the beginning would be beneficial.

3) If you have commentary over it, you will be fine. Even better if there is no original video audio.

Even if you do get flagged, it wont be a strike. Just a copyright claim which is where they claim earnings for that specific video.

Don't worry about CPM. It will be years before you start earning.
