Channel trailer monetization?

Afaik, ads don't actually show on your channel trailer anyhow unless they watch it on the video's watch page rather than on your channel's page.

I wouldn't monetize based off the success of one video (unless it truly went viral). It needs to be something that just comes naturally and feels right. If you're asking the question then it's not right.

As for me, I started monetising my videos after about 150-200 videos when I was getting around 4,000 views a day and that maybe generated around $2-3 a day. But this was all after spending months and months making video and slowing building up a channel and not thinking at all about monetization. When I did switch it I just tried it as an experiment to see what would happen. I wasn't desperately looking for cash and success and the same applies today.

Wow very well said. I'll take your advice into consideration. It makes a lot of sense as well. Now should I un-monetize all my videos?

I'm not so concerned with the income thing. I'm more for views, trying to get noticed. I know it takes a good while, especially for vloggers but I'm staying patient an focusing on my content. Even with it only being once a week. Thank you.

I would.

My guess is you've maybe made $5-10. Is it worth it?

Well my old channel, i had a video that kind of did the same thing with views so I added my old channel to my adsense account. Between both YouTube channels, my current balance is $21.89 so yeah definitely waaaay too early to monetize.
 
Ok, so keeping on topic; why is it ever to early to monetize? If some something interests me and I want to watch it, I simply sit through the advertisement till I can click through(if it isn't something that interests me). Am I alone in that thinking?
I guess my question is: does a video or channel need to have a certain number of subscribers or views to considered worthy or of quality for monetization? I've viewed and subscribed to dozens of low sub/view channels because they had the inherent quality and information I was looking for. Does that make them any less valuable or desirable and less worthy for posting an advertisement for their work. Or is it purely a numbers game in which you don't want to p**s off any potential takers.

Adverts always make something less valuable or desirable. Like anything a brand needs to establish itself first. It needs to have a perceived value and that comes through views, subscribers, comments, likes, super fans etc. By putting up adverts you're putting up a wall that the audience has to climb over. The trouble is the audience doesn't know what they're climbing over the wall to see yet.

I personally can't see any benefit to plastering your pages with other people's brands when you will see no monetary reward for it (yet).
