Your FREE guide to YouTube monetising 💸

Hey You, Content Creator

You're in a prime position to leverage YouTube's audience and turn your content into a money engine. Here's a quick guide on how to monetise your YouTube channel 👇

YouTube Partner Program: The Foundation of Monetisation

The YouTube Partner Program (YPP) is your gateway to direct earnings from the platform. To qualify, you need one of these:

• 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the last 12 months, or

• 1,000 subscribers and 10 million Shorts views in the last 90 days

All it takes is 1 viral video… start by asking yourself:

1. What are you good at?

2. What can you talk about?

3. What can you say to give value? (is it knowledge, guidance, or an experience?)

4. Now make a video about it

(Then to make your video, use some stock content from CreatorStock 🚀)

Once you're in, you can earn through:

• Ad Revenue Share: Get a cut from ads played on your videos

• YouTube Premium Revenue: Earn from Premium subscribers watching your content

• YouTube Shopping: Sell products directly through your videos

• YouTube Shorts Fund: Benefit from Shorts-specific monetisation
