How to Make Money on YouTube Using Google AdSense

Google AdSense is a publishing platform that allows blog or website owners to show adverts on their sites (by putting a maximum of three ads per page). You will be paid a commission if someone clicks on these advertisements.

How can you make revenue from your YouTube videos?

Before jumping into the details of how to make money on YouTube, I want to talk first about YouTube.

YouTube is one of the largest American online video sharing social media platforms, which was created on 14 February 2005 by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim. There are more than 600 hours of video uploaded to YouTube per minute by YouTube content creators, and more than 1 billion hours of videos are watched every day. On the online social media platform of YouTube, we can find many kinds of content, such as history, education, documentaries, entertainment, news, sports, movies, funny videos, and many more videos for free.

YouTube is the most visited website worldwide and was bought by Google for $1.65 billion in October 2006. YouTube has reported revenues of $19.8 billion in 2020.

The approved creators participate in Google's AdSense program, which generates more revenue for both parties on YouTube.

We are free to participate in making monkeys with an online video sharing media platform called YouTube. It is very simple to create a YouTube account and start making revenue with YouTube.

First of all, you have to create a Google account in order to create a YouTube channel and start to upload your own videos (original content) to this media platform.

YouTube has just updated its channel’s eligibility policy, so one channel needs to reach 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours watched (which means 240,000 minutes) in the last 12 months to get the chance to apply for the YouTube monetization program.

After your channel meets the requirements for YouTube eligibility, make sure that your content meets the YouTube community’s guidelines. For example, your videos are friendly for all advertisers to run their ads; your channel location is in the supporting countries.

What should you do before applying your channel to an AdSense account?

1/Try to design a YouTube channel art for your YouTube channel.

2/Create a video playlist if your channel contains different categories of video.

3/Add your website link and other social media links to your YouTube channel (if you have)

4/Write information about your channel on the home page (about your channel)

When your YouTube channel reaches 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours watched with your original content + the information I described above, then the chance of approval for your channel is very high.

When you are approved to join the YouTube monetization program, you’ll start to make money with your YouTube videos. So, I can say that applying for an AdSense account via YouTube is easier than applying for an AdSense account via a website. When you get a chance to be a partner with YouTube, you should try to follow the YouTube community guidelines in order to keep your AdSense account in good standing to make more money with this big online video sharing social media platform.

If you do not follow or respect YouTube and Google AdSense policies, your account can be banned at anytime. When your AdSense account is banned, it will be for life. You will not have a second chance to use your name.
