Imagine making money from YouTube while you're sleeping, on vacation at the beach,
or biking local trails. Wouldn't that be sweet? For example, my channel makes thousands of dollars
each year just by enabling AdSense ads on my videos. For example, this video has made
$3,500 since it was published. This video has made almost $800 this year just from
AdSense alone. In this video, you'll learn five ways to monetize your YouTube channel on 2022,
so you can generate a passive income from your videos. Every time you upload a new
video to YouTube, it increases your income. You do the work once and you get paid 24/7.
Did you know that YouTube will display ads on YouTube videos even if you're not a member of
the YouTube Partner Program? This means YouTube will receive 100% of the ad revenue generated from
your channel as long as you're not part of the YouTube Partner Program. Here are the criteria
to become a YouTube partner, you need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 public watch hours in
the past 12 months. You need to turn on two-step verification. Click the link in the description
to watch my video on how to turn on two-step verification for your channel. You must have
zero active community guidelines strikes. YouTube says they'll send you an email when
you're eligible to apply for the YouTube Partner Program. If you meet all these criteria, your
channel will be reviewed. If you fail to meet any of these criteria, you can reapply in one month.
YouTube receives 45% of the ad revenue and you get 55%. You also must link your YouTube channel to an
AdSense account and you can link multiple YouTube channels to one AdSense account. If you click on
the monetization tab on the YouTube channel, you'll see how far you've got to go to meet
the requirements of the YouTube Partner Program. After you've passed the review process, you're
going to know your monetization for YouTube videos and start earning money from it. Just keep in mind
if your channel has been inactive for six months because you haven't been uploading new videos to
your channel, YouTube has a right to remove you from the YouTube Partner Program. If you have
a small channel, I highly recommend joining YouTube Partner Program as soon as possible
so you can generate revenue from your channel and get direct support from YouTube.
Channel memberships allow viewers to join your channel through monthly payments
in exchange for members-only badges, emojis, members-only live streams, and tips and tricks.
You have the ability to offer multiple membership levels at different prices.
To enable channel memberships, you must be a member of the YouTube Partner Program
and have over 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours and be over 18 years old. For example, if
you join my channel membership for $9.99 a month, you're not going to be able to support my channel,
but you'll receive loyalty badges next to your name in the comments and live chat, get custom
emojis to use in the comments and live chat, participate in exclusive members-only live streams
every month so we can get your channel reviewed to help you identify ways to improve your channel.
Just click on the join button below this video. You'll get a pop-up box like this where you can
choose your method of payment via credit card or PayPal. Then just click buy. If you want to learn
how to set up and turn on channel memberships, click the link in description below this video.
This is where fans can browse and buy official branded merchandise that showcased on your watch
pages. If you want to see all the monetization options that are available for your channel,
click on the monetization tab in YouTube Studio. As you can see, I've got ads,
merchandise, membership, supers, giving. If I click on merchandise, say showcase your
merchandise. Make it easy for fans to find your official merchandise. I can click Get Started,
then I can select spreadshop or spring and it just follows the prompts to set up your store.
The merch shelf will appear below the videos on your channel. To offer this,
you need to belong to the YouTube Partner Program and have over 10,000 subscribers on your channel.
This is where your fans pay to get the messages highlighted in the chat stream so they stand out
from the rest while your live stream's going on. The Super Chat and Super Stickers can also be used
during premier years as long as your live chat is enabled. Different color stamp different amounts.
If you offer a larger amount, your particular chat message will be pinned to the top
and it'll be there for a longer period of time than other colors.
What are the eligibility requirements? Your channel must be monetized and you must be over 18
years old. This means you must be a member of the YouTube Partner Program and have 4,000 watch hours
and 1,000 subscribers in the past 12 months. Keep in mind that Super Chat and Super Stickers
are not available on age-restricted, unlisted, private videos, or if live chat
is not enabled. You also must live in a country where super chat and super stickers are available.
How much do you get paid from Super Chat and Super Stickers? Creators receive 70% after
local sales tax has been deducted. If you want to generate extra revenue from a YouTube channel,
offer Super Chat and Super Stickers during your live streams. Just make sure that you
thank the people that make those donations so you can build your audience quicker.
If you're using Super Chat during premieres, make sure you're replying to the comments and
questions in live chat directly. YouTube giving allows creators to support causes they care about.
Eligible channels can fundraise for nonprofits by adding a donate button to their videos or
live streams. Viewers can then donate directly from the channel watch page or during live chat.
For your channel to be eligible for YouTube giving, it must be located in the United States,
Canada, or United Kingdom and you must have at least 10,000 subscribers.
Your channel must also be part of the YouTube Partner Program and not designated as made for
kids. I'll place a link to YouTube's help article and description below this video. You'll be able
to see the total amount of donations that you've raised by going to the giving tab and YouTube
monetization. If you want to accept donations from your channel but you're not a YouTube partner
or don't meet the requirements to have channel memberships or YouTube giving,
then you can add a PayPal button to your channel. Click the link description to learn how to add a
PayPal donate link to your YouTube channel. What if your channel doesn't meet any of the
requirements of the YouTube Partner Program or any of the other monetization options? Watch this
video for five ways to generate a passive income from YouTube without having 1,000 subscribers.
