You've probably heard of ordinary people making money through YouTube and thought that you could do it too. Making tens of millions of dollars from YouTube may not be realistic, but you can start making money fast, especially if you have a strong subscriber base. Follow these instructions to monetize your videos and start profiting from YouTube ads.
Step
Step 1. Create and build your YouTube channel
Your channel is your personal view on YouTube. Each YouTube account has one channel. A YouTube account is the same as a Google account, and creating a YouTube account will give you access to other Google products, such as Gmail and Drive.
- Create an account or use an account you already have. Add keywords to help people find your channel. You can add keywords by going to the Advanced section of the Channels tab in Creator Studio. Make sure that the keywords you enter match the content of the channel.
- Username can help you or not. If your username is short, easy to remember, and original, it will be easier for people to remember it. However, if you're using an account you already have, leave it alone. Changing accounts won't have much effect,
Step 2. Add content
Upload high-quality and not too long content. (This option depends on what type of content you are going to upload) You should also upload content regularly and consistently.
- Even if your content isn't great at first, keep going. Practice makes perfect. Make each video better than the previous one. You will learn as you continue your channel.
- Improve your content either by using a better camera or by trying better editing programs or shooting techniques. Also try to improve the way things are recorded. Use a tripod, ask a friend to help fix the lighting. This can help create a better final product which can then bring you more viewers.
- By uploading regularly, you can keep an audience. People will be more attracted to subscriptions if you add content on a regular schedule, and keep that schedule as good as possible.
- Don't forget to tag your videos with keywords that match the content, as well as an interesting description. This will help people find your video in YouTube search.
Step 3. Get an audience
Building an audience is the key to increasing monetization. You need people watching your ads to earn money. There's no secret to getting more subscribers, just create the best content you can and customers will come naturally.
- Keep uploading content and keep people interested in coming back to your channel. Share your videos via Twitter and Facebook. Share with many people. Distribute to other places on the internet. Subscribers are a must-have for you to become a YouTube partner.
- Interact with viewers by responding to comments and occasionally creating videos that directly relate to viewers' comments and questions. Connecting with your community will bring more members into it.
Step 4. Monetize your videos
To start monetizing your videos, you must allow monetization. This means that you allow YouTube to place ads on your videos. It also means that you represent that there is no copyrighted material in your video.
- Go to www.youtube.com then click "My Channel" on the web page.
- Click the "Video Manager" link in the top bar.
- Click the channel (Channel) and enable (Enable) monetization.
Look for other sources of income
Famous YouTube musician Timmy Linetsky suggests: "You can make money in a number of different ways. There's ad revenue, but there's also the opportunity to get a fairly large amount of company sponsorship at any given time. My main source of income. They saw that I was well-known on YouTube and could teach. I also opened Patreon. So people could support me that way, and I got paid work."
Step 5. Meet the requirements
At a minimum, your channel must be watched for 4,000 hours in the last 12 months and have 1,000 subscribers to start making money.
- You can monetize videos as you upload them by clicking the Monetization tab and checking the Monetize with Ads box.
- To monetize a video after it's uploaded, open the Video Manager and click the $ sign next to the video you want to monetize. Check the Monetize with Ads box.
Step 6. Create Google AdSense
You can create Google AdSense for free from the website. Click the Sign Up Now button to create your account. The minimum age to register is 18 years. If you are younger than that, you will need adult help to create an account.
You must have a PayPal or bank account and a valid mailing address and other information for AdSense to verify your identity and who you are sending the money to. You only earn money for each click on the ad and less money for each ad watched, but the amount will get bigger as time passes. This is why having an audience is so important
Step 7. Check your analytics
Once you have some videos online, monetized, and watched, you can check the analytics to see how they are performing. Click Analytics in the Channels menu. Here you can see estimated revenue, ad performance, video views, demographics and more.
Use this tool to see how your content is being received by viewers. You can change your content and marketing methods if you find that you're not attracting the users you want
Step 8. Market your video elsewhere
Don't just put your videos on YouTube. Create a blog or website, or post your videos on other video or social networking sites. The more often your video is viewed, the better. By sharing a link or embedding a video on the internet, you increase your chances of getting the video viewed and increasing the money you earn.
Step 9. Become a YouTube partner
YouTube partners are YouTube members who monetize high-viewed videos. Partners get access to more content creation tools, and can win prizes for the number of viewers they have. Partners also get access to more community support and tips.
You can sign up for a YouTube partnership at any time via the YouTube Partners page. To gain access to the very best of Partnership programmes, you must have a cumulative total of 15,000 watch hours on your channel in the last 90 days
Step 10. Increase your revenue on YouTube with Supp.me service
This service allows you to quickly create polls and quizzes at no cost. Just create a question for your subscribers and then ask them to answer it. The more people visit the page you create on Supp.me, the bigger your income will be. It's also a great way to ask viewers for suggestions (you can ask for suggestions for new videos, etc.) while increasing your revenue.

Warning
- There may be some people who leave negative comments that can make you sad. Don't let them discourage you.
- If any of your videos contain copyrighted content (e.g. music you didn't make, content from movies, etc.) it will be more difficult for you to be accepted into the partnership program.
- Copyrighted content can get your video removed, or even banned.
- For most people, YouTube partnerships don't make too much money, unless you're very successful. Don't plan to rely on YouTube as your only source of income.
