Hi. My name's Herman Drost. If you want to grow your audience on YouTube and generate
traffic leads and sales and autopilot, hit the subscribe button and click the bell notification
icon so you'll be notified immediately when I upload new videos.
Number one, AdSense ads. In order to monetize your videos with YouTube ads, you need 4,000
watch hours and 1,000 subscribers in the past 12 months. Your videos also need to conform
to the YouTube policies and community guidelines. You also need to link your YouTube account
to your AdSense account. Once your account has been approved for monetization, you can
run ads on your YouTube videos. If your channel gets rejected for monetization, you can reapply
within 30 days. Click the link in a card to watch my video on how you can get 4,000 watch
hours and 1,000 subscribers. Keep in mind that Google retains 45% of YouTube
earnings. After you've made $100 from your AdSense earnings, Google will send you a check
for $100. Alternatively, you can direct deposit your earnings straight into your bank account.
Here's how to check if your channel is eligible for monetization. Log into YouTube channel,
click on YouTube Studio Beta, click Settings, click Channel, click Advanced settings, click
Status and features. Under monetization, you'll see if your channel is enabled. If it's not
enabled, you'll probably see ineligible. If you want to enable monetization for individual
videos, click YouTube Studio Beta, click Videos, select the video or videos you wish to monetize
by checking a box. I check the box here. You can see that this video is already being monetized.
If I click the drop down box, I can click off, pick save, then monetization's off. If
I click drop down box again, click On, click Save, the monetization is enabled for that
video. You can do the same for multiple videos on your channel.
Let me ask you a question. How are you currently making money from your YouTube channel? Post
your answer in the comments below. I'd love to read them, and I'm sure others would too.
The next two ways to monetize your YouTube channel on 2020, it doesn't require you to
be a member the YouTube Partner Program. All right, that's great. What are they? Number
two, brand deals and sponsorships. This is a great way to generate another revenue stream
besides Adsense ads. It's also a great way to introduce new products and services to
your audience. Brands are very interested to do deals with
creators because it exposes their product to a different audience. Because you have
built up an audience on your channel, you can expose that product to your audience.
For example, one time I did a brand deal with Video Blocks where I did a review video of
their software product. As a result, I get paid hundreds of dollars. If you want to get
started with brand deals and sponsorships, I highly recommend creating a media kit. When
a company approaches you, you can just send them an immediate kit to get all the details.
Number three, merchandise. This is a way you can earn revenue from merchandise that complements
your channel. You can link to approve merchandise sites that offer mugs and t-shirts, et cetera.
Keep in mind that your merch has got to comply with the YouTube community guidelines. If
you have over 10,000 subscribers, you can integrate your channel with Teespring. This
enables you to sell merch from a shelf on YouTube channel.

Number four, SuperChat. SuperChat is a great way for fans and creators to interact during
the live stream. When someone donates to SuperChat, the comment is highlighted at the top of a
live chat stream. There's different colors based upon the amount of the donation. Check
that SuperChat is available at your location. The revenue generated from SuperChat will
appear in a similar way as your AdSense revenue. For your channel to be eligible for SuperChat,
you've got to be a member the YouTube Partner Program, which means you need 4,000 watch
hours and 1,000 subscribers in the past 12 months. You also have to be over 18 years
old. If you want to learn more about how to generate revenue with SuperChat, click the
link in a card. Here are some important tips to keep in mind if you want to monetize your
YouTube videos in 2020. Number one, build an engaged audience first
by creating great content. Number two, build multiple streams. Don't throw all your eggs
in one basket. For instance, don't rely on AdSense ads as your sole source of income
from your channel. Instead, utilize multiple income streams. If you're a member the YouTube
Partner Program, you can utilize AdSense ads, SuperChat. If you're not a member the YouTube
Partner Program, you can explore sponsorships, brand deals, and merchandise.
