HOW TO EARN MONEY ON YOUTUBE

 

How to Get Monetized on YouTube

The most common way to monetize videos is through the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). Reaching partner status is an upgrade for your channel, as it allows you to place advertisements on your videos and make money (potentially) every time you upload content.

YouTube pays creators through the Google AdSense program, but it takes a while to understand how all of that works. For now, just know that when a viewer watches/clicks an ad within your video, revenue is generated. That revenue is then split between you and YouTube, where you get 55% of the money, and YouTube takes the other 45%.

YouTube Monetization Requirements

YouTube is quite selective about who it lets into the monetization program. Before you can apply to the YPP, you must have:

  • 1,000 subscribers
  • 4,000 watch hours on your channel (within 12 months)
  • A willingness to follow YouTube’s rules: the community guidelines, advertiser-friendly content guidelines, and terms of service

If you’re struggling to grow your audience, read this guide for getting 1,000 YouTube subscribers.

When you've done that, go ahead and read these tips for collecting 4,000 watch hours.

Once you’ve met all of YouTube’s requirements, you’re ready to apply to the YPP. Here are the steps:

  1. Go to the YouTube Studio.
  2. Click Monetization in the left navigation bar.
  3. If you’re eligible to apply, you’ll see a blue button encouraging that action. Click it!

  5. Set up a Google AdSense account, and connect it to your channel.
  6. Wait patiently. YouTube will review your channel and email you with a decision
