Monetizing your YouTube channel is easy. We’ll walk you through how the program works and how to set-up your account to begin earning revenue from your YouTube videos.

This means that YouTube places ads inside or near videos. After you’ve enabled monetization on your YouTube channel, your videos can be submitted and approved for monetization. In order to earn the revenue that is generated from these ads, you will need to associate an AdSense account with your YouTube account.

1. To begin, log in to your YouTube channel account.
2. In the Channel Settings tab, select “Enable monetization.”
3. Follow the steps to accept the YouTube monetization agreement.
4. In the Uploads tab, you will see a green box with a dollar sign next to the videos that are immediately eligible for monetization.
5. Next, you’ll need to associate an AdSense account to your YouTube channel. It is free to set up a new AdSense account. You will need either a PayPal or a bank account and a valid mailing address in order to have your account verified. AdSense will update you by mail once your account has been approved.
