Does having Youtube in my hubs help me make money. Rather do I receive revenue if people watch...
the youtube videos?
You only make money if someone clicks on the ads in your hub. The youtube videos may only add traffic if you put good captions that helps pull search traffic through keywords in the captions. So make sure you use the right keywords in your hub text and video captions.
People watching your videos does not generate any revenue for you, but it helps in making them stay on your hub longer thus the possibility of them clicking on the ads is higher.
Videos can add to the quality of the hub most especially if it's related to what you're writing about. But ideally, you don't get any revenue from the videos. All revenue comes from ad clicks and impressions.
I use videos all the time though. It adds to the content. Like, I always think, if I'm surfing looking for something, there are times when I don't really want to read that much so I'd prefer watching videos sometimes. Maybe there are surfers out there who are like that. This gives them more time in your hub and spend more time looking around at links they might find interesting.
People only receive money from YouTube videos which are featured videos on YouTube or for people who are YouTube partners... and putting those kinds of video links to a HubPage will likely cause the Hub to be unlisted as self promotional if they are your own videos.

I would love to see an area for text or at least a caption added to the video capsules. In almost all the videos I've posted in my hubs, I've wanted to explain a little bit of this or that about what the reader is seeing. Right now my only option to do that is in giant bold type in the header, or...

Do we earn Google Adsense revenue from YouTube videos?I filmed a video for one of my hubs, then loaded it to YouTube before including the link in my hub. I sometimes see ads on the video, would I be eligible for Google adsense revenue from this ad too?

How many views a day should a first YouTube video get?I know that it will depend on many things, but on average, if a person does not have any subscribers, how many views a day is a good sign?
