How Many Views Do You Need to Start Making Money on Dailymotion?

On Dailymotion, you only need a combined 1,000 views across all your videos to start monetizing your content. This is significantly lower compared to platforms like YouTube, which previously required 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours within a year. However, reaching that 1,000 view mark is just the first step in a complex process of monetization.

Monetization Threshold and Revenue

While you can start monetizing after reaching 1,000 views, you won't actually see any payment until you meet a specific revenue threshold. The exact threshold varies depending on your partner level. For example, Starter partners must achieve a revenue threshold of €100.

Understanding Ad Impressions and Fill Rate

Not every view triggers ad impressions, which are the actual view metrics that generate revenue. Dailymotion's ad fill rate—the percentage of views that have ads—can vary depending on various factors. This means your potential earnings might be lower than expected based on the number of views alone.

Engagement and Retention Matter

While views are important, engagement is even more crucial. Videos that retain viewers for longer and have higher click-through rates tend to earn more revenue than those with lower engagement. Focusing on creating high-quality content that resonates with your audience and keeps them engaged is key to maximizing your earnings.

Monetization Threshold Update

Monetization requirements on Dailymotion may have changed since my last training data in January 2022. According to current policies, your videos typically need around 500,000 views in the last 30 days to start making money. However, it's crucial to check Dailymotion's current policies and requirements for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
