how to monetize YouTube videos in 2014
hello and welcome in this quick video session
I'm going to show you how you can monetize your videos and become a
YouTube partner
simply log into your account I've got my son's YouTube account
he's videos are not monetized so let's go and look at what we need to do
you locate Video Manager on the left hand side you have channel settings
you press on that and then
under features option here you need to have monetization
enabled so basically read more about it
and and then you press enable
so basically you need to enable your account surely you need to read through
terms and conditions
but basically it's saying do the right thing okay
and also the copyrighted material YouTube and Google is very strict when
it comes to that
so make sure that your videos adhere
to Terms and Conditions before you apply for
becoming a partner okay so read through it agree
and then accept it basically you will create a Google AdSense account
so that you can monetize your videos
and and thus get paid okay and you don't need to have lots of subscribers
okay to become a partner as long as your videos are of use
or interest to YouTube community so once you enable your account and
create Google AdSense account then the next step
is to monetize your videos
on video level okay I've switched my account
so I am in my main account now so let's go under
Video Manager as you can see you have various ways to monetize your videos
you can under your Video Manager you can click on
this icon I uploaded this video let's monetize that
because it's not my monetized yet okay you can actually
monetize your videos while you're uploading but I suggest you not do that
I told I'll tell you why that is as well so let's click on that and monetize
that video that
I upload it already okay as you can see
you'll have an option here monetization
let's press on it and then its gonna give you all these TrueView ad formats
basically TrueView ads are what you see
when you visit other videos that are monetized okay you can have
ads showing at the start or you can say okay show
it at the end or show it in the middle I actually don't like this
mid roll ads because I think unless
you're in a niche that is very critical that people have to watch
okay showing ads in the middle is gonna really break their focus of
attention
your visitors focus of attention ao
you know you can have it at the start middle or
end if you wanna have it the middle the you need to pass seven
minute mark before you know you can actually show mid roll ads
so you you can read more about it I'm not gonna
go through all the TrueView Ad formats okay but
to monetize it you just let's just choose this let's just choose this
that say at the start and all we do is we save changes
and once we do now that we
we have let's go back to video manager
and we'll see now that's being monetized that means
when someone comes they'll see ads as I've
monetized them before
TrueView ads so when I said to you
not to monetize your ads at the your videos at the start
the reason for that is because if you watch the other video tutorials
I made available as far as getting and your videos to rank in YouTube or Google
then you would have realized that you need to have those views
and shares and likes and so on
I found out that to be able to
get those shares and likes and so on it is better
you don't monetize videos before before you get those shares and so on
okay and once you do then you can monetize it because
then you end up ranking high in YouTube and Google and all this stuff
so that its always gonna work for you so
that's how simple it is for you to monetize
your YouTube videos so I thank you very much for your visit
