• CPM varies from .50 cents to over $10 per thousand impressions.
• It is seasonal, implying, CPM moves upward in holidays i.e. Christmas, Eid.
• English native countries have better CPM than rest.

RPM and eCPM:

• RPM is revenue per thousand views.

Do’s and Don’t of Earning from YouTube

• Do’s
  • Make vidoes that may perform better, i.e. that are likely to be searched more
  • Make videos that are interesting and may make users to watch them completely
  • Make videos that are engaging, i.e. should be able to fetch comments, likes
  • Compel users to subscribe to your channel

  • Make a lot of videos, don’t give up on making videos.
  • Market your videos to all possible channels (Facebook, Twitter)

  • Don’t make explicit videos or those that are not allowed by YouTube TOS

Types of Videos you can Make:

As mentioned above, your videos have to be interesting. And they must grab attention of your viewers. Here are some type of videos that you can experiment with:

• Images with voice over: Interesting facts, commentary on news items, opinions, or anything voiced over related images can make a good videoO
• Lists: Lists of anything, such as “10 best catches of all times”, “10 dangerous roads turns in the world” and so on. These videos could be voiced over or text-over images
• Tutorials: How to do’s of various things
• Reviews: Reviews of things that we use in daily life, such as review of Uber, Review of Zong 4G, Review of PIA Lahore to Karachi flight and so on
• Time lapse videos: They are loved by everyone.

So essentially, if you got video making skills, shot anything that could grab views and upload it to YouTube and that’s it.
Not to mention, it may take some time — up to few months — to get your first dollar. However, once you have good fan following, you can potentially make few thousand dollars a month.

Amazon FireOS is an Android-based mobile

Amazon FireOS is an Android-based mobile operating system produced by Amazon for its Fire Phone and Kindle Fire range of tablets, and other content delivery devices like Fire TV; the tablet versions of the Kindle e-readers are the Fire range. It is forked from Android. Fire OS primarily centers on content consumption, with a customized user interface and heavy ties to content available from Amazon's own storefronts and services.

While the Kindle Fire line has always used customized distributions of Android, particularly 2.3.3 (API level 10) (Kindle Fire) and 4.0.3 (API level 15) (Fire HD), Amazon only began referring to the distribution as Fire OS beginning with its third iteration of Kindle Fire tablets, which includes the Fire HD 2nd generation and Fire HDX models. Unlike previous Kindle Fire models, whose operating system is listed as being "based on" Android, the Fire HDX "FireOS 3.0" operating system is listed as being "compatible with" Android; FireOS 3 is forked from Android 4.2.2, (API level 17).[10][11][12] In the Fire HD (3rd generation) and Fire HDX (2nd generation) tablets, Fire OS 4 is included that is forked from Android 4.4.2 (API level 19).[13][14] Fire OS 4.5.1 is based on Android 4.4.3.[15][16] Fire OS 5.0 is based on Android 5.0 (API level 22).

Features

Fire OS uses a customized user interface designed to prominently promote content available through Amazon services, such as Amazon Appstore, Amazon Video, Amazon MP3 & Audible, and Kindle Store. Its home screen features a carousel of recently accessed content and apps, with a "favorites shelf" of pinned apps directly below it. Sections are provided for different types of content, such as apps, games, music, audiobooks, and video among others. A search function allows users to search through their local content library or Amazon's stores. Similarly to Android, sliding from the top of the screen exposes quick settings and notifications. Fire OS also provides integration with Goodreads, Facebook, and Twitter. X-Ray is also integrated into its playback functions, allowing users to access supplemental information on what they are currently viewing. On the Fire HDX and Fire Phone, an additional function called "Mayday" allows users to connect directly to a support agent for assistance via one-way video chat. Amazon claims that most Mayday calls would be answered within 15 seconds.[18][19][20] The OS features a user system, along with Kindle FreeTime, a suite of parental controls which allow parents to set time limits for using certain types of content

Fire OS 5, which is based on Android 5.0 "Lollipop", uses an updated interface. The home screen now features a traditional application grid and pages for content types as opposed to the previous carousel interface. It also introduces "On Deck", a function which automatically moves content out of offline storage to maintain storage space for new content, the speed reading tool "Word Runner", and screen color filters. Parental controls were enhanced with a new web browser for FreeTime mode featuring a curated selection of content appropriate for children, as well as "Activity Center" for monitoring usage by children.[22][23][24] Fire OS 5 removes support for device encryption; an Amazon spokesperson stated that encryption was an enterprise-oriented feature that was underused. However, in March 2016, after the removal was publicized and criticized in the wake of the FBI–Apple encryption dispute, Amazon announced that it would be restoring the feature in a future patch.

Tizen vs Android: What’s the difference?

You may or may not have heard of the Tizen operating system, depending upon how closely you follow the tech scene, so today we are going to take a look at Tizen versus Android and uncover the differences.

But, first let’s take a quick look at the background of Tizen to put the whole story into context.

Best Android Phones >>

Tizen Background 

Tizen is a Linux-based operating system whose development is guided by the Technical Steering Group, which is an organisation that includes both Samsung and Intel.

In 2013 Samsung merged it’s Bada project into Tizen and a base program was developed upon which sits device specific operating systems such as Tizen Mobile and Tizen Wearable.

So far Samsung has launched a smart camera and the Gear 2 smartwatch whilst Systena has launched a 10 inch tablet, all running on Tizen.

Why Tizen?

The Tizen OS is clearly being developed to compete with both Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android.

At this point in time most of the benefits of Tizen are designed to make life easier for the developer, but of course every such benefit will result in a better user experience and end product.

Some of the key developer benefits include:

• Flexibility - Mobile operators will enjoy greater flexibility to customise the OS and user experience and this can be wisely used to develop products that target specific demographics.
• Compatibility - Developers will be attracted to the open source flexibility of Tizen. Applications made using the Tizen OS will still be compatible and may be launched in other operating systems like iOS and Android.
• Support - Tizen supports JavaScript, CSS and HTML5.

Tizen vs Android: What’s the difference?

Now we have the techy bit out of the way let’s take a look at our original question and discover the similarities and differences between Android and Tizen.

• Start-up - Tizen is lightweight and offers a faster start-up compared to Android.
• Smoother scrolling - Tizen offers improved scrolling and rendering performance for web browsing.
• Notification bar - Just like devices running Samsung’s TouchWiz UI there will be a swipe down notification bar on Tizen devices.
• 3D - Tizen will offer 3D window effects with support for apps and games that require advanced 3D graphics.
• Multi-tasking and multi-touch - Multi-taking and multi-touch gestures are supported just like on Android devices.
• Dynamic boxes - Tizen’s dynamic box icons can be resized to show more or less information.
• 64-bit processors - Tizen version 3 will support 64-bit processors, which is something that Google is working on for its next Android update.

An initial Samsung Mobile trial of the Tizen OS on a smartphone received comments that there was nothing different from Android and iOS. 

We could suggest that this was a negative piece of news but instead we should think of this as a positive step that confirms that the base model is running successfully and on a par with Android and iOS. 

Since then Tizen has promised that its operating system’s uniqueness will change by the end of the year so we should expect new and exciting developments within the Tizen v3 release.

The Tizen challenge

So, we have taken a look at the differences between Android and Tizen but now it is time to think about the challenge ahead if Tizen is to become a success.

The first challenge will be to reproduce alternatives to all of the Google services which are integrated within the Android OS.

The second challenge will be to develop the Tizen App Store as mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets live or die based upon the wealth of apps available to them. 

We only need to look at BlackBerry and their recent announcement that their phones in the future will now have access to Amazon’s Appstore as a quick example of how important this is.
