What is YouTube monetization?

In simplest terms: YouTube monetization is the ability to make money from your videos.



To enable monetization on YouTube, you need to meet certain requirements and join the YouTube Partner Program (YPP).


Screenshot example of a YouTube Partner Program qualification checklist.



According to YouTube, to qualify for monetization, you must have:


4,000 watch hours over the last 12 months

at least 1,000 subscribers on your channel.

You can grow these numbers by creating quality content, as well as by promoting your channel.


Additionally, there are some other requirements to set up and monetize your channel. We’ll discuss those in the next section.



YouTube monetization rules and requirements

Monetizing your YouTube channel is as amazing as it sounds, but it comes with a few strings attached. While the requirements for YouTube monetization aren’t log, the benefits are great.


Simply put, once you’ve joined the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), it all comes down to how well your videos perform. The more views you get on your content, the more money you’ll be able to make.


Let’s look at the different requirements to start monetizing your YouTube videos:


Apply to the YouTube Partner Program

The first step is to apply to the YouTube Partner Program (YPP).


It takes at least one month for YouTube to review applications before marking a decision. It may take longer than a month, mostly because YouTube has actual specialists reviewing each application.


The minimum eligibility requirements for joining the YPP are that:


Your channel has at least 1,000 subscribers

You have at least of 4,000 valid public watch hours over the last 12 months

You live in a country where the YouTube Partner Program is available

You have an AdSense account linked to your YouTube channel

Your channel does not have any active Community Guidelines strikes

You follower all YouTube channel monetization policies

You must use 2-Step Verification on the Google Account associated with your YouTube channel for an extra layer of security



Avoid copyright and monetization mistakes on YouTube

It’s important to adhere to YouTube’s copyright and monetization rules at all times. Meaning, you should only upload videos that you have made or authorized to use. Copyright also extends to music or audio tracks, other copyrighted works, or videos created by others.


If you’re caught violating any of the policies, you may be subject to the following:


Removal of ads from your videos

Suspension from the YouTube Partner Program

Account suspension or termination

YouTube states that they will always inform you via email if you violate any of their policies. They will also let you know about the options available to you, if any.


What to do if you get rejected by the YouTube Partner Program

If your application gets rejected, YouTube outlines which policies your channel failed to follow. If that’s the case, don’t fret. You can always re-apply after 30 days. Use this as an opportunity to improve your channel before you apply a second time.


For example, you may want to revisit any video titles, video descriptions and thumbnails to align with with YouTube’s policies. And if you have specific videos causing issues, you may also want to delete or edit them.
