How To Set Up A Youtube Channel For Monetization

Steps

Set up and build your YouTube channel. Your
channel is your personal presence on YouTube.
Each YouTube account has one channel attached to it. A
YouTube account is the same as a Google account, and
creating a YouTube account will grant you access to
other Google products, such as Gmail and Drive.
Create your account or use your existing one. Add
keywords to help people find your channel. You
can add keywords by navigating to the Advanced
section of your Channel Settings. Make sure that
your keywords are relevant to your content.
Your user name can also work for or against you. If
it’s short, easy to remember, and original, people
will be more apt to remember you. However if you
are using an existing account, you can always
change your username by editing it on your Google
+ account.
Add content. Try to upload content that is high
quality, and isn't super long. (This option can vary
depending on what type of content you decide to upload)
Also try to upload regularly and stay consistent with
your uploads.
Even if your content isn't great at first, keep at it.
Practice makes perfect. Try to make each video
better than the last. You will often learn as you go.
Improve your content by either using a better
camera or trying better editing software or
techniques. Also try to improve the way things are
filmed. Use a tripod, have a friend help you or light
your scenes better. It all helps for a better end
product which in turn helps you get a better
audience.
By uploading regularly you can help hold an
audience. People are more likely to subscribe if you
add content on regular schedule, and maintain that
schedule as much as possible.
Make sure to tag your videos with key words that
describe the content, as well as an eye-catching
description. These will help drive people to your
video from YouTube searches.
Gain an audience. Building an audience is key to
increasing your monetization. You need people to
watch your ads in order to make any money off of them.
There is no one secret to getting more subscribers, just
make the best content that you can and they will come
to you.
Keep uploading content and try to get people
hooked. Send your video out on Twitter and
Facebook. Share it with people. Distribute it
elsewhere on the internet. Subscribers are essential
to becoming a partner.
Interact with your viewers by responding to
comments and making occasional videos directly
related to viewer comments and questions.
Connecting with your community will bring more
members into that community.
Monetize your videos. In order to start earning
money on your videos, you’ll need to enable
monetization. This means you are allowing YouTube to
place ads in your video. This also means that you
acknowledge that there is no copyrighted material in
your video.
Go to www.youtube.com and click "My Channel" on
the webpage.
Click the link called "Video Manager" on the top
bar.
Click channel and Enable on monetization.
Get at least ten thousand total views to start
earning money.
You can monetize a video as it uploads by clicking
the Monetization tab and checking the “Monetize
with Ads” box.
To monetize a video after it has been uploaded,
open your Video Manager and click the “$” sign
next to the video that you want to monetize. Check
the “Monetize with Ads” box.
Set up Google AdSense . You can set up Google
AdSense for free at the AdSense website. Click the
Sign Up Now button to begin creating your account. You
must be 18 years or older to create your own account.
If you are younger than that, you will need an adult to
help you.
You need either PayPal or a bank account and a
valid mailing address as well as other information
so AdSense can verify who you are and who to
send the money to. You only gain money per ad
click and a smaller amount per view but it adds up
over time. This is why having an audience is key.
Check your analytics. Once you have some videos
online, monetized, and being viewed, you can check
out the analytics on them to see how they are
performing. Click the Analytics option in your Channel
menu. Here you can view estimated earnings, ad
performance, video views, demographics and more.
Use these tools to see how your content is
resonating with your audience. You can change
your content or your marketing if you’re finding
that you aren’t attracting the users that you want
to.
Market your videos elsewhere. Don't put your
videos just on YouTube! Start a blog, make a
website or post them on other video or social media
sites. The more views it gets, the better. By sharing the
link or embedding the video on the internet, you are
increasing the chance of it getting noticed.
Become a YouTube partner. YouTube Partners are
YouTube members who have monetized videos with
a large number of viewers. Partners gain access to more
content creation tools, and can win prizes for the
number of viewers they have. Partners also get access
to much more community support and tips.
You can apply for YouTube partnership at any time
through the YouTube Partner page. In order to gain
access to the most powerful Partner programs, you
need to have 15,000 cumulative watch hours for
your channel over the last 90 days.
