YouTube Partner Program FAQs
Here
are some questions we're often asked about the YouTube Partner Program,
how to sign up and begin monetizing your videos with ads, and how to
associate AdSense in order to be paid.
What's the YouTube Partner Program?
The YouTube Partner Program provides content creators with tools and
programs to improve their skills, build their audiences, and monetize
their videos.
How do I become a partner?
To become a partner, you must
opt in your account and have at least one video enabled for advertising. If you've opted your account in to monetization but haven't enabled any videos for monetization, please refer to our
Getting Started Guide for more information.
Wait, tell me what “monetize” means again?
If you “monetize” your content, it means that your videos will display
ads. To earn money and receive payments from these advertisements, you
must first associate an AdSense account with your YouTube account.
How do I receive payments?
To receive payments, you must:
- Monetize one or more of your videos
- Provide your payment information using AdSense, and associate AdSense with your YouTube account
- Reach your local AdSense payment threshold
What is AdSense?
AdSense allows YouTube partners to get paid for monetizing their videos.
Do I need AdSense now?
Not necessarily - we’ll remind you when it’s a good time to associate an
AdSense account. After associating an AdSense account with your YouTube
account, YouTube may deposit a
bonus into your AdSense account as a thank-you for your video monetization contribution before you associated an AdSense account.
If you like, however, you can
associate an AdSense account at any time.
When do I get paid?
Once you’ve associated an AdSense account with your YouTube account, you can be paid when your earnings reach
your local payment threshold, as long as there are no
holds on your account and you're in compliance with our
AdSense program policies.
I just created a video that is suddenly popular, what should I do?
We understand that some videos suddenly become popular and viral. To
help you earn more money, we suggest partners opt in their account and
eligible videos for monetization before the video becomes viral.
Remember that in order to receive a payment, you must also associate
AdSense with your YouTube account. For partners who associate AdSense
with their YouTube account at a later time, we may provide bonus
payments as long as your videos are enabled for advertisements.
