How much money does YouTube pay when a video goes viral?

It’s everybody’s goal to get a viral video posted on YouTube.

Is it for the fame?  Is it to get some sort of licensing deal so you can sell animatronic toys based on your pet cat?

Sometimes the most successful viral videos are the ones where people post just for the sake of posting them.  Going viral is just a fringe benefit of that.

So once a video goes viral, HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD YOU EXPECT TO EARN FROM YOUTUBE?

What?  YouTube pays out money?

C’mon – we’ve told you this in the past. Youtube shares the wealth a little bit whenever something worthwhile crosses their system.

And according to what happened to JARED FRANK with his viral video that has gotten over 20 million views in just a few days of being posted — he should be earning a large percentage between $2 and $16 per 1000 views….

Experts estimate that he could make as much as $250,000 for his 9 second video.   Yes, you read that right — a 9 second video, $250,000 or more.

Kinda makes you want to start filming everything in your life just in case you can find gold in that digital footage, doesn’t it?
