2020 and beyond as long as YouTube doesn't change its policies.
Stay tuned to the end of the video where I'll show you seven alternative ways to make money

Hello, my name is Herman Drost.
If you want to grow your audience on YouTube and generate traffic leads and sales on autopilot,
hit the subscribe button and click the bell notification icon so you'll be notified whenever
I upload new videos.
Here's an example of a skippable online video ad that appears before the main video.
If someone clicks on the ad or views it for more then 30 seconds, you get paid.
If they skip the ad, you don't get paid.
What are the minimum eligibility requirements to enable monetization on a YouTube channel?
Number one, you've got to join partner program by following its policies and getting 1,000
subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months.
Number two, you've got to live in a country or region where the YouTube Partner Program
is available.
Number three, you've got to link your Adsense account to your YouTube account.
After you've met the requirements for the YouTube partner program of 4,000 hours and
1,000 subscribers, you can get your channel reviewed.
This typically takes about one months, but if you get rejected, you can reapply within
30 days of the application.
Here are the steps to monetize your YouTube videos with Adsense ads.
Number one, enable monetization for your YouTube channel.
To check if your channel has been enabled for monetization, go to Creator Studio, Channel
Status and Features.
If you look under monetization, you'll see if your channel has been enabled or not.
If you want to enable monetization for all future videos that you upload to your channel,
go to your uploads default page.
You can find this at YouTube.com/upload_defaults.
Check the box that says "Monetize with Ads".
Check all the ad formats that you want displayed on your videos.
Here's an image of all the YouTube advertising formats.
I'll place a link to this image in the description below this video.
Number two, monetize individual videos.
Go to YouTube Studio dashboard and click on videos.
Select the video that you wish to monetize and turn on monetization.
A green dollar icon shows that the video is monetized.
If it's faded, it means that monetization has been turned off.
You can also select an individual video then click monetization and select the types of
ads you want to see displayed on that video.
According to YouTube, you can maximize earning potential by turning on all the different
ad formats.
You can also change the position of your video ads if they're over 10 minutes.
If you choose during video, allow a couple of hours for the ads to be generated.
As you can see in this livestream video of over one hour, I've got monetization turned
on.
I've also turned on all the ads formats.
On the ads breaks, I can choose where I want the video ads to appear.
I can also do add ad breaks and bulk.
If I click on ad placements, YouTube will suggest where to place ads based on the content
of my videos.
As you can see, YouTube has already selected the ad breaks where the video ads are displayed.
What if the ads are not showing on your videos?
First, check that you enabled monetization on your channel and you've met the requirements
of the YouTube Partner Program of 4,000 watch hours and 1,000 subscribers in the past 12
months.
Your videos may have third-party claims.
Your channel may have been disabled for monetization.
If your video has been demonetized, you'll see a yellow icon next to the video.
Make sure you ask for a review, but keep in mind that YouTube only looks at videos that
have 1,000 views in the past seven days.
To learn more about demonetization of your YouTube videos, click the link in the card.
How do you get paid?
YouTube will pay you 55% of the net revenue from your ads.
You'll get paid by YouTube once the balance of your AdSense revenue reaches $100.
Here are a few important things to keep in mind about monetizing your YouTube channel
with Adsense ads.
Number one, you've got to get a lot of views if you want to generate a substantial income
from your Adsense ads.
You'll get approximately $1 for every 1,000 views to your videos.
If you're just starting out, you might want to wait a while to build up the audience on
your YouTube channel.
Number two, build and engage audience first.
As I mentioned before, you want to build up a loyal audience on your channel first that
are continually watching your new videos.
If you have a consistent audience, then go ahead and monetize your channel.
Number three, Adsense earnings fluctuate throughout the year.
Your Adsense revenue will fluctuate during a year based upon the best times that advertisers
are willing to pay for ads.
This is typically around Thanksgiving to Christmas time when people are actively purchasing stuff
on the internet.
Your advertising revenue generally decreases at the be beginning of the year because advertisers
have spent all their money during the Christmas season.
