When it comes to turning your ideas into income, you’ve got options. From traditional ads to selling merchandise to memberships for your fans, there are a lot of ways to use your channel and videos to make money.
There are a few ways for creators to make money on YouTube, but most start with becoming a member of the YouTube Partner Programme (YPP).*
Once accepted, you’ll begin to gain access to a variety of monetisation products, including a share of the Ad and YouTube Premium Revenue generated by your videos; Channel memberships; merch shelf; Super Chat and Super Stickers; and BrandConnect. Each feature has its own performance and eligibility requirements.
The newest offering through the YouTube Shorts Fund is not limited to creators in the YouTube Partner Programme. Anyone is eligible to participate by creating unique Shorts that delight the YouTube Community. Each month, we’ll get in touch with thousands of creators with the most popular Shorts to reward them for their contributions.
YouTube Partner Programme
The YouTube Partner Programme (YPP) lets qualifying creators tap into different ways to earn revenue, gives access to 1:1 chat and email support and allows you to use the Copyright Match Tool.
Are you eligible?
To qualify for the YPP, you need to be in good standing with YouTube, have 4,000 valid public watch hours in the previous 12 months and at least 1,000 subscribers.
You will also need to follow all the YouTube monetisation policies, live in a country/region where the YouTube Partner Programme is available and have a linked AdSense account.
The benefits of being in the YPP
Once you’re in the programme, you can start earning money from ads and from YouTube Premium subscribers watching your content. You can also explore other revenue streams besides ads, like channel memberships or Super Chat.
Earn ad revenue from display, overlay and video ads that run on your channel. With YouTube Premium, you can earn a portion of a subscriber’s fee when they watch your content.
