YouTube, owned by Google, offers creators the opportunity to earn through the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). By joining YPP, you can monetize your channel with ads, memberships, Super Chat, and even YouTube Premium revenue. To qualify, your channel needs at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months. Once you meet these requirements and get approved, ads will appear on your videos, and you’ll share revenue with Google. The earning potential depends on your niche, audience engagement, and consistency. For example, finance, business, and tech channels usually earn higher ad revenue compared to entertainment channels. Besides ads, creators can earn extra by promoting affiliate products, offering courses, or creating sponsored content. With YouTube Shorts growing rapidly, it’s now possible to go viral quickly and monetize even faster.
