YouTube has been one of the best platforms to share videos since 2005. YouTube has supported and encouraged its partners and creators by raising funds. It has constantly upgraded its terms and policies to benefit its creators and artists. YouTube has spent more than $30 million to aid the artists and creators in successfully building their professions. YouTube lately updated its terms of service, which says that if a creator is not a part of YPP, they will not be eligible to earn revenue.
Here I have listed few points to monetize your YouTube Channel
According to YouTube’s latest terms of service, you must have known, that you need to have 1000 subscribers and over 4000 hours of views in the past 12 months. The YouTube Partnership Policy (YPP) will be effective from 1st June in all the countries except the United States. Here’s an overview of the YouTube Partnership Policy (YPP):
- Have a 2 step verification for your google account
- Your Channel should have 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch
- Sign the YPP terms and conditions
- Create one AdSense account
If you aren’t a part of the YPP policy you will not be eligible to earn revenue from the ads and YouTube Premium.
How are 4000 hours of watch and 12 months calculated?
For example, if it 1st January 2021 today, YouTube will track your watch time from 2nd January 2020. Then from 2nd January 2021 to 3rd January 2020 and so on. Your total watch time will increase and decrease as you try reaching the 4000 hours watch goal.
