How to make money from YouTube

Your video could appear on Newsflare's YouTube channel, which has over 3 million subscribers and earn money via YouTube advertising!

Are you an aspiring video creator without the required 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours to join the YouTube Partner Program? Earning money from YouTube with Newsflare is easy!

YouTube (working with Google AdSense) places adverts around videos and shares the revenue generated from these adverts.

By allowing Newsflare to manage your video, you could start earning revenue from YouTube advertising straight away. Simply upload your video, and when this box pops up, select "Add to YouTube".

What happens next?

We'll make a copy of your video on our YouTube channel and make an "ownership" claim on your video through our account (don't worry - the video still belongs to you, it just lets YouTube know we're managing this for you) so that we can start making money for you.

1. We'll make a copy of your video: We'll upload it on our YouTube channel and make an "ownership" claim on your video through our account.
2. You'll get a notification from YouTube: You may receive a slightly scary-sounding message from YouTube about copyright, which you can ignore. Your video still belongs to you and it will remain on your channel but you will start to see adverts around it.
3. Advertising & protection starts: As soon as we've done this for you, any revenue generated by YouTube adverts will be tracked by Newsflare and shared with you. Plus, we'll be authorized to protect your video, by claiming revenue from unauthorized copies on YouTube. You'll still own the copyright to your video, you'll just now be making a little extra through advertising.

4. Protecting your rights: We strongly recommend that you put this note in the description field below your YouTube video ASAP so that people don’t use your video without your permission and buyers know where to make inquiries:

   “This video is managed by Newsflare. To use this video for broadcast or in a commercial player please email newsdesk@newsflare.com”

Revenue & Payment

The number of views a video gets is a good indicator of its appeal, but the amount of revenue it could generate is impacted by factors such as the appeal for advertisers - they're willing to pay more to reach a particular demographic or content category (some niches attract higher-paying ads). The length of your video also can make a difference (longer videos allow for multiple ad breaks).

Spotted someone using your video without permission?

We try to spot as much of this activity ourselves but we can’t see everything. If you see your video being used somewhere without your permission, please get in touch with us right away and, if possible, send us a link and a screenshot of the offending article. Please note there is no law to stop somebody embedding your YouTube video on their website, but if they are using your video in their own website player or in a broadcast we can get in touch to try and get them to pay a fair price or stop using it. We take protecting your video extremely seriously.

The Content ID does a great job of catching any duplicates, and we'll claim any advertising revenue from these copies for you. If you're worried, contact us and we can take a look and set your mind at rest.
