If you want to get paid on YouTube videos, you’ve got to join the YouTube Partner Program.
Here are 5 minimum eligibility requirements to join the program.
- You’ve got to follow all the YouTube monetization policies. For example, if you get a copyright strike or a community guideline strike, you won’t be able to monetize your channel.
- You must live in a country or region where the YouTube Partner Program is available. For example, if you live in Bangladesh, the program is not available in that country.
- You must have 4,000 public watch hours in the past 12 months. You can check the number of watch hours you’ve accumulated on your channel by going into YouTube Analytics, click on the Overview tab, and select 365. Under Watch time hours, you’ll see how many hours your channel has accumulated in the last 12 months.
- You must have more than 1,000 subscribers. Let me ask you a question. How many more watch hours and subscribers do you need to monetize your channel? Post your answers in the comments below. I’d love to read them, and I’m sure others would, too.
- You must create an AdSense account and link it to YouTube account. If you don’t do this, you won’t be able to get paid in your AdSense account. After you’ve met all those requirements, your channel will undergo a review, which usually takes one month or more.
If you’re rejected from the YouTube Partner Program, you can reapply within 30 days. Once you’ve been accepted into YouTube Partner Program, you can enable ads across all the videos on your channel. You then be able to get paid your first $100 by YouTube.
Channel Memberships
Channel Memberships allow your viewers to join your channel through monthly payments. They receive special perks like badges, emojis, and other features. YouTube says that the requirements for channel memberships is 30,000 subscribers. However, I have 70,000 subscribers, and I still haven’t received channel memberships. It could take a long time.
An alternative to channel memberships would be to use Patreon, which is separate from YouTube. Other things you can do with channel memberships; have membership-only community posts, members-only videos, members-only live streams, and members-only live chat.
Merchandise Shelf
The Merch Shelf, which appears under your videos, allows you to sell branded merchandise on YouTube. You can organize your merch shelf across your entire channel or just for individual videos. If you at least have one item, then you’ll be able to get a store tab on your channel page. You can then link out to your store tab in the comments, description, and community posts. If you do live streams, you can pin an item to the top of your live feed. You can also feature merch items on your end screens.
Requirements
You must be approved for monetization so you must be a member of the YouTube Partner Program. You must have more than 10,000 subscribers. Your channel’s audience must not be set as made for kids, and you must be on one of the countries that accepts the YouTube Partner Program.
Super Chat and Super Stickers
Super Chat and Super Stickers are a great way to connect with your viewers during live chat. Viewers can purchase Super Chats to highlight their messages during the live chat stream. When a viewer makes a purchase, their profile picture can stay at the top of the chat feed. How long the profile picture stays at the top of the chat feed depends on their purchase amount. The more a viewer spends, the longer his Super Chat or Super Stickers stays at the top of the chat feed.
The beauty about Super Chat and Super Stickers is that you only have to meet the requirements of the YouTube Partner Program. The revenue received from Super Chat and Super Stickers will be added to your AdSense account in the same way that you receive revenue from your AdSense ads.
Buy Viewers Applause
This is something that came out recently where you can buy viewer’s applause on participating creators’ videos and support them on their channel. When you buy Viewer Applause, you’re purchasing a one-time clapping animation [applause]. This will only be shown over the top of the video.
Currently, Viewer Applause is only available for computer users. It’s also only available in some countries like Australia, Brazil, India, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, and the United States.
If you want and have a lot of money to spend, you can buy Viewer Applause as many times as you wish on one video. The purchase limit is $500 US per day, or $2,000 US per day if it’s combined with Super Stickers and Super Chat.
All you have to do to make a purchase is start watching the video, then click the Upload icon under the video and follow your on-screen instructions.
Steps To Get Paid On YouTube
- You have to provide a tax information.
You do this by logging into your AdSense account. - Confirm your personal information.
Because personal identification numbers are sent to your mailing address, you need to confirm the accuracy of your mailing address. - Select your form of payment.
When your earnings reach the payment threshold, which is $100 US, you can select a form of payment. This could be an electronic transfer of funds to your bank account, or they could mail you a check. After processing period ends, they’ll issue the payment. Typically, you’ll receive a payment for the previous month. If you reach $100 at the end of this month, you’ll receive payment at the end of next month. If your current balance hasn’t reached the payment threshold, then it’ll be rolled over to the next month.
“Hey, Herman, how can I see the revenue that I’m making for my channel?”
Here’s how to see how much revenue your channel has generated in the last 28 days.
- Click on Analytics in YouTube Studio, t
- Click the Revenue tab.
- Select 28 days,
- You’ll see the total amount of estimated revenue for that month.
You’ll also be able to see the RPM, which is revenue per mile, or how much you’re earning per thousand views. This includes revenue from ads, YouTube Premium, Channel Memberships, Super Chat and Super Stickers. The amount that you see is the amount of revenues that you earned after YouTube has taken out its share.
You’ll also be able to see the monthly revenue that’s accumulated for each month, your top earning videos, revenue sources, ad types, and transaction revenue. If you click See More, you’ll be able to see the video topics that are generating the most revenue from your channel.
Ways To Generate More Revenue From Ads
If you want to generate even more revenue from your AdSense ads, make similar videos to the top videos that are generating the most revenue.
Here are a few ways to generate more revenue from YouTube videos.
- Double down on your top earning videos. Identify the videos that are top earners on your channel, then make more of those types of videos.
- Identify topics that have a higher cost per click.
When researching topics for your videos, you’ll quickly be able to see the cost per click for those particular topics, especially if using TubeBuddy or Keywords Everywhere. If you see a high cost per click for that particular keyword or keyword phrase, make a video on that particular topic. It’ll generate more revenues than a low cost per click topic. - Place multiple ads on YouTube videos.
Did you know you can place an ad before or after YouTube video if it’s less than eight minutes? You can also select different ad types such as skippable video ads, non-skippable video ads, and overlay ads
Typically, I find that skippable video ads on my videos generate the most revenue. Non-skippable ads are just going to tick people off because they can’t close the ad.
If you have a video that’s over 8 minutes long, you can enable mid-roll ads. This is where you can enable multiple ad breaks throughout your video.

I highly recommend not allowing YouTube to automatically place mid-roll ads throughout your video because they tend to put them in the wrong places.
Instead, add them at the correct places throughout your video such as the end of a sentence, between topics, or during transitions. This will maintain the flow of the video, and you won’t lose viewers as watching your video.
