The most popular Youtube Monetized method is the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). By joining YPP, you can access several revenue streams including advertising, channel memberships, and the merchandise shelf. To get started with YPP, you need to meet a few milestones.
Firstly, you need to agree with YouTube’s channel monetization policies and link your AdSense account to your channel. YouTube will then review your channel, which can take up to a month. During this time, YouTube may make changes to your video titles, descriptions and thumbnails to align with its policies.

YouTube then generates revenue through ads displayed on your videos, with each view earning you money. A percentage of this revenue is reserved for creators and goes into a ‘Creator Pool’. The pool is split based on the use of music in your Shorts and how many views the video has.
You can also monetize your channel through a variety of fan funding features like Super Chat, Super Stickers and Super Thanks. These are great income streams for digital creators or brands that create helpful and educational content. In exchange for their payment, fans can receive custom emoji and badges and access to exclusives like Live Chats with you. Unlike ad revenue, you earn 70% of the total revenue from these features after deducting applicable taxes and app store fees, and credit card transaction costs. You can find more information about these features in the ‘Monetization’ tab of your YouTube dashboard.
