Youtube Channel Monetization | My Channel is NOW MONETIZED!
It's been...
It's been a long time since the last content that I published. Finally, I have something to write again. Hehe.
Priorities...
If you're wondering I skipped a few months to write content because I had to focus on my YouTube channel.
After several weeks and almost 3 months of getting the right SEO with the help of TUBEBUDDY. I'm able to get the requirements of YouTube for me to qualify for the YouTube Partner Program.
Throwback...
I was earning money before with YouTube way back in 2017. During those times, the requirement only is 10,000 views.
However, YouTube changed its rules to get into the program, and some creators do not adhere to the TOS (Terms of Service) and the YouTube Community Guidelines. YouTube decided to take further action on these issues and implemented new rules and guidelines.
What are the requirements?
Well, You should have at least 1000 subscribers and a watch-time threshold of 4000 watch hours- in the last 12 months.
Easy huh?
Well actually, it depends. If you have the right niche that matches your audience and has wow factor content, the chances are that people will gonna watch and subscribe to your channel and You might achieve those requirements in no time.
And what about me? HAAHAH. NO. It's not easy. "wala" -wala in Arabic means "I swear by God". Hehehe
Search Engine Optimization...
On my end. I opt. to get the premium version of Tubebuddy. Utilizing all its features especially the keyword tags ranking comparing it to weight or unweight so that I can analyze which is the best tag to be applied on that specific video. This particular video is not getting that many views, but after a month, I made some changes to the tags and keywords, descriptions, title, and thumbnail, and analyzed other channels with their tag, Surprisingly. The number of views increased subsequently. There were days that I got a lot of comments with 93 views within 48 48-hour period and a few subscribers.
The length of this video is approximately 20 minutes. Upon checking the analytics, I can see where they dropped to watch and I was surprised that the average view timings would last until 14 minutes.
I cannot share the screenshots as they contain some confidential information and this is against the terms of service or TOS of YouTube.
Countdown in 3..2..1...
I got an email that I finally met the requirements. It took me 10 days for my Channel to get approved. Some content creator shared their experiences that they got approved right after submitting the application, or less than 4 hours and maximum within 24 hours.
I'm a bit worried as I exert a lot of effort and time and set aside my website just to focus on getting monetized from YouTube. I thought they would reject my application because of "this and that". I kept checking my emails from time to time within the first 6 days. Afterward, I decided to leave it. Maybe I'll get disappointed if I expect a positive result and end up being rejected.
But wait...
A cloud-nine feeling...
I'm alone in the back store of my workplace and I almost gag while sipping my coffee. Hahaha. All my hard work pays off!
I always dreamed of getting my YouTube channel monetized. I've seen this only for those successful content creators. And finally, I am one of them having a monetized channel!
Despite the pandemic. All my goals for 2020 have been achieved! My Facebook page and YouTube channel are now monetized.
Writing content and creating vlogs. Now that's a talent. Haha.
