As a creator, you must have thought about this in your video creation journey: how to earn from the videos.
Making a video and starting your own YouTube channel is very exciting but when we talk about earning money from it then the question that comes up is,

“How does YouTube actually pay?”

YouTube pays through Google AdSense and the YouTube partner program. Let’s talk about the process first, how they review your application. Their automated systems and human reviewers will review your channel as a whole to ensure that it follows all their policies and guidelines. You can check the status of your application anytime in YouTube studio.

What do we mean by Google AdSense?

It is a program that lets publishers earn money by displaying targeted ads to the audience, whether skip ads, full ads, banner ads or any other ad. Google is paid by companies to show their ads online and these ads appears on YouTube videos.

AdSense works as the payment system for the content creators on YouTube, when your ad gets played before, in between or after your video then a part of the advertising revenue is shared with the creator through the AdSense account.

Why do you need Google AdSense to monetize your YouTube channel?

YouTube needs AdSense to send you money; without AdSense it’s not possible to complete your earnings. We can also think of AdSense as the bridge between YouTube and your bank account.

– Through YouTube, ads displays on your content

– AdSense account helps to send the money

– Firstly you made the channel and then the video now you have achieved the eligibility criteria too, which is to have 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours in total

– After analyzing and making sure that you fit the criteria and you as a content creator on YouTube, are not making any obscene or offensive content and your videos don’t have any copyright issues. The process may take a few days.

– Then AdSense proceeds for your revenue from those ads after monetizing your account
And after the approval, your channel becomes eligible for ads therefore you officially will start earning.

Making the journey easy for you to understand –

1. Create an Account.

2. Create quality content

3. Reach 1000 subscribers + 4000 watch hours eligibility criteria.
