To be honest, don't expect to make big money right away from the Youtube Partner Program. You have to get an adsense account first: check adsense.google.com for some tips and links.
You also have to use music that you have a signed contract with or royalty free music, this is one of the hardest parts. Any videos you have that have unlicensed music should probably get re-edited before you apply, if they think you are using copyrighted music you'll never be a partner. Plus you need to get lots of views like 100,000+ on a video before you should apply to the partner program or they'll reject you. We were lucky cause we have some high amounts of views. Unless you are producing videos that consistently get more than 100,000 views, its more like a hobby really. The pay differs based on what type of videos you have. For instance lawyer videos or real estate information makes a lot more per ad click, than a sports related video. The best recommendation I can say to become a YOUTUBE PARTNER is to keep making videos, make them very high quality, and release at least one new one per week. Make videos that people will want to subscribe to. And don't be discouraged by low views. Promote your videos on myspace and facebook. Just be sure that if people don't like your videos because of poor quality or lame editing, then they might not watch any more. Watch others' videos and comment and rate them. Give people good comments and they'll come to your channel to reciprocate. Keep at it. Good luck.
