Are you frustrated that you won't be able to generate revenue from displaying Adsense
Ads on your YouTube channel without having 4,000 of watch time or 1,000 subscribers in
the past 12 months?
In this video, you'll learn the features that you'll no longer have access to without having
YouTube Partner Status and discover seven alternative ways to monetize your videos without
Adsense.
You'll only not make more money, but you'll make it faster.
Hello, my name is Herman Drost from drostdesigns.com.
If you want to grow your audience on YouTube and generate traffic leads and subscribers
on autopilot, hit the subscribe button or hit the bell notification icon.
How do you check if your channel is eligible for monetization?
According to YouTube, the new requirement is for channel to have 4,000 watch hours in
the previous 12 months ongoing and 1,000 subscribers total before it will be reviewed to join the
YouTube Partner Program.
Click the link below to keep updated on the requirements.
Here's how to check if your channels is eligible.
Go to YouTube Analytics, watch time, go to drop-down box at the top here, select last
year, 2017, and the watch time minutes.
The minutes must be greater than 240,000.
If your channel currently is monetized, even if you have been a partner for years, if you
don't meet these two requirements, you'll be removed from the program.
Why is YouTube doing this?
According to YouTube, "They will allow us to significantly improve our ability to identify
creators who contribute positively to the community and help drive more ad revenue to
them and away from bad actors.
These higher standards will also help us prevent potentially inappropriate videos from monetizing
which can hurt revenue for everyone."
What features will you be unable to access?
End screens and cards that are linked to associated websites, crowdfunding, merchandise sites,
superchat and sponsorships.
Here's a bottom line, you won't generate much revenue from Adsense alone.
For example, you typically earn $1 or a few dollars per 1,000 views, so you need to attract
billions of viewers to your videos to generate a decent amount of revenue.
It makes better sense to find alternative ways to monetize the videos on your channel
and to make more.
Here's seven ways to monetize your YouTube channel without Adsense.
Number one, affiliate products.
The beauty about affiliate products is that you don't have to do the work, you simply
select an affiliate program that's related to your niche and sign up to get the affiliate
link.
Typically, you'll earn a 50% commission when somebody purchases the product from your affiliate
link.
Number two, sell your own products or courses.
The beauty about selling your own products is that you make 100% commission.
The downside is that you have to create the product yourself and also setup the marketing
fund.
You can also setup an affiliate program for your own products and get affiliates to promote
the product for you.
Number three, become a consultant.
If you're an expert in your niche, then you can offer coaching or consulting services.
For example, I offer consulting services for people who want to use YouTube to market their
products and services.
Number four, promote services.
Perhaps you have a service-based business, so you can use videos to promote your services.
For example, if you have a plumbing business, you can create videos that rank in the top
of the search engines.
You'll get new customers when people Google your business or your services.
Number five, generate leads.
This is one of my favorite methods because I use it all the time.
For example, I create video tutorials where I send people to a squeeze page to collect
their contact information.
I then follow up with them by recommending my products and services via e-mail.
Number six, sponsorships.
This is where a company or brand may want you to create a video that exposes their products
to your YouTube audience.
For example, I recently created a video for Video Blocks and got paid a few hundred dollars
for creating the review video.
Number seven, Patreaon.
Patreaon allows YouTubers to get paid by running a membership business for their fans.
There are no contracts to signs and you retain 100% ownership of your creative work.
You keep 90% and they keep 5%, so it's a pretty good deal.
