Do you love making YouTube videos? Want to earn some cash for your hard work?  Here's how you can use Google AdSense to show ads on your videos!

 

Think of AdSense as a way to rent out space on your videos. Advertisers pay to show short commercials, and you get a cut of that money when people watch them.  The more views you get, the more you can earn!

Become a YouTube Money Maker: Using Ads to Earn Cash!

Ever wondered how YouTubers turn their videos into cold, hard cash? Ads are a big part of the secret! This guide will show you how to use Google AdSense to turn your YouTube views into earnings.

 

What is AdSense and How Does it Work on YouTube?

Think of AdSense as a middleman between you and advertisers. Companies pay AdSense to show their ads on various websites and videos. AdSense then places those ads where they'll be seen, and shares the ad revenue with the content creator (that's you!).

 

Here's the money-making magic: The more people who watch your videos and see the ads, the more money you can potentially earn. It's like renting out ad space on your videos!

 

Setting Up AdSense for Your YouTube Channel

To start raking in ad dough, you'll need to meet a few requirements:

 

1.    Create a YouTube Channel: This is your online space where you'll upload your videos.

2.    Join the YouTube Partner Program (YPP): This program allows creators to earn money from ads and other features. To join, you'll need to have at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past year.

3.    Get a Google AdSense Account: This is where your ad revenue will be deposited. You can create an AdSense account for free if you don't already have one.

4.    Sign in to YouTube Studio: Visit YouTube Studio. From the left menu, select the Earn tab.

5.    Start the AdSense Sign-up Process: Click START on the Sign-up for AdSense for YouTube card. You’ll be prompted to enter your YouTube account password and re-authenticate if needed.

6.    Choose Your Google Account: Select the Google account you want to use for AdSense for YouTube. If you already have an existing AdSense account for other purposes outside of YouTube, sign in with the associated Google account.

7.    Verify Your Email Address: In the AdSense for YouTube interface, verify that your email address is correct at the top of the page. If it’s incorrect, click Use a different account to switch to the correct one.

8.    Complete the Application: Provide your contact information and submit your AdSense for YouTube account application. After this step, you’ll receive a message in YouTube Studio confirming receipt of your application.

9.    Approval Process: Approval typically takes several days. You’ll receive an email once your account is approved. Upon approval, you’ll see confirmation within YouTube Studio that your AdSense for YouTube account is active.

 

Once you meet these requirements, you can link your AdSense account to your YouTube channel and enable ads on your videos.

 

Here's a tip: While you're waiting to join YPP, focus on creating great content and growing your audience. The more viewers you have, the more attractive your channel will be to advertisers.

 

• You can only have one AdSense or AdSense for YouTube account under the same payee name.
• Duplicate accounts won’t be approved, and monetization will be turned off for associated YouTube channels.
• Remember that you can change your linked AdSense for YouTube account once every 32 days.

 

Making the Most of AdSense on YouTube

There are a few things you can do to maximize your earnings from AdSense:

 

• Create high-quality, engaging videos: People are more likely to watch ads if they're enjoying the content.
• Target the right audience: Make sure the ads displayed on your videos are relevant to your content and viewers.
• Promote your channel: The more people who know about your channel, the more views you'll get and the more money you can earn.

 

By following these tips and creating awesome content, you can turn your YouTube channel into a money-making machine!

 

How do I know if my channel is eligible for monetization?

To determine if your YouTube channel is eligible for monetization, follow these steps:

1.    Eligibility Criteria:

Your channel must meet the following requirements:

1.    1,000 subscribers: You need at least 1,000 subscribers on your channel.

2.    4,000 watch hours: Accumulate 4,000 valid public watch hours within the last 12 months.

3.    No active Community Guidelines strikes: Ensure your channel has no active strikes related to Community Guidelines violations.

4.    2-Step Verification: Turn on 2-Step Verification for your Google Account.

5.    AdSense for YouTube account: Link your channel to an active AdSense for YouTube account or be ready to set one up in YouTube Studio if you don’t already have one.

2.    Eligibility Thresholds: Your channel can become eligible for the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) with either Shorts or long-form video content. You’ll receive an email notification once you meet either of the following thresholds:

1.    1,000 subscribers and 4,000 valid public watch hours in the last 12 months.

2.    1,000 subscribers and 10 million valid public Shorts views in the last 90 days (note that Shorts views in the Shorts Feed won’t count toward the 4,000 watch hours threshold).

3.    Application Process: Once eligible, apply for YPP. Your channel will undergo a standard review process to ensure compliance with YouTube’s policies and guidelines. If approved, you’ll gain access to monetization features, YouTube resources, and Creator Support teams.

Remember, these thresholds help YouTube evaluate whether your channel aligns with their policies. Keep creating great content, and best of luck with your monetization journey!
