How to Get Your YouTube Channel Monetized

Introduction

As a YouTuber, there are multiple ways you can make money. Through ads, sponsored content, selling merchandize, and much more.
One popular way is through YouTube's Partner Program, which means earning revenue from ads placed on your videos.

Though, getting your YouTube channel monetized is not as easy as it seems. In this blog post, we will discuss the steps you need to take to get your YouTube channel monetized.

Meet the Requirements

To be eligible for YouTube monetization, you need to meet the following requirements:

• Have at least 1,000 subscribers
• Have at least 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months
• Comply with YouTube's community guidelines and terms of service

Create High-Quality Content

Creating high-quality content is crucial to getting your channel monetized. YouTube wants to ensure that ads are placed on videos that are advertiser-friendly. Thus, you must create content that is original, engaging, and relevant to your audience.

Niche down

Niche down your content to attract a specific audience. The more specific your content, the more likely you are to attract a loyal following. This will help you meet the requirements for monetization and make it easier to create content that is relevant to your audience.

When your video is shown to a user on their home page, it’s because YouTube’s algorithm (also called a recommender-system) chose to put it there.

See the YouTube algorithm as a match-maker.When you make content for a very specific audience, you help the algorithm make a decision to show exactly your video on their home page.

Engage with your audience

Engage with your audience by responding to comments, asking for feedback, and creating a community around your content. This will help build a loyal following and increase engagement on your videos. When you have an engaged audience, you are more likely to get more views, likes, and shares, which can help you meet the requirements for monetization.

We recommend using FeedHive’s social inbox for this.

It makes it incredibly easy to stay on top of all comments across all videos (both longform and YouTube short).

Apply for the YouTube Partner Program

Once you meet the requirements and have created high-quality content, you can apply for the YouTube Partner Program. This program allows you to monetize your videos and earn revenue from ads. To apply, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your YouTube account
2. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner
3. Select "YouTube Studio"
4. Click on "Monetization" in the left menu
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up an AdSense account and monetize your videos

Conclusion

Getting your YouTube channel monetized requires effort and patience. You need to meet the requirements, create high-quality content, and apply for the YouTube Partner Program. By following these steps, you can start earning revenue from your videos and turn your YouTube channel into a source of income. Good luck!
