How to Make Money from Your YouTube Channel 

​

Have a YouTube channel? You can make money out of it, and it's not even hard. With time, patience and dedication, you can reap rewards from that little bit of hard work you must put in.  

​

Here's a rundown of the steps:

​

> Log in to your YouTube account.  

​

> Click "Enable monetization" under the Channel Settings tab.

​

> Accept the monetization agreement. 

​

> Go to Uploads to find your videos that are automatically eligible for monetization (with a dollar sign in a green box next to them). Videos that are not eligible because of copyright issues can be found under Copyright Notices. 

​

> Link your AdSense account to your YouTube account (AdSense is free to set up). You should have a bank account or a Paypal account and a valid mailing address for verification. Expect to receive mail from AdSense upon approval of your account.  

​

Of course, before you can start monetizing your YouTube channel though,  you must first understand how it works. Inside or just right outside the videos is where ads are often placed. Once you have activated your channel's monetization feature, you will have to submit your videos to the site for approval. For you to profit from the money that these ads generate, you should open an AdSense account and link it with your YouTube account. Learn more about youtube growth, view now here. 

​

A video will be eligible if you have worldwide commercial rights to it in its entirety. For instance, if you include a song that you don't own the copyright to, the video will be disapproved. YouTube actually has a page where you read more about copyrights and fair use issues.  Aside from following YouTube's copyright policies, your videos should also be in line with the site's service and community guidelines.

​

To earn from your YouTube channel, you have to consider two things - the type of ads that appear with your videos and their pricing. Pre-roll ads (ads leading to the start of a video) are more profitable per thousand views compared to ads that are less conspicuous. You make money in two ways - when a viewer clicks an ad and  when the viewer actually views the ad.  

​

How the ads show up on your videos depend on a few things, like your video meta data and your video's categorization. For the best outcome, make it a point to search-optimize your video titles, descriptions and tags. Remember that you have no control over all the ads that will be displayed on your channel, but you can block ads by general categories, as well as leave out delicate categories using your account on AdSense account.
