For your visitors to get glued to your videos for long, you have to create engaging content. The videos must be of high quality, entertaining and useful to the viewers. Within each video there should be at least 2 ads. However, the length of the videos should be at least 20 minutes.
The geographical location of visitors is also important. Make sure more than 80% of visitors are from USA, UK, Canada or Australia. With this high percentage, you are certain that the 1 million views will yield at least $10,000.
