1. Verified Account
Just like on other sites, your YouTube account must first be verified to be able to enjoy all the features that YouTube has to offer.
In addition to matching the channel identity with the owner, this verification function is so that you can upload videos with long durations.
Videos with a duration of more than 15 minutes are included in the long video category. For verification, you only need to register your cellphone number, really.
2. Minimum 4,000 Watch Hours
The next requirement for monetizing a YouTube account is to have a minimum total watch time of 4,000 hours in 1 year. This condition seems to be the most difficult, gang.
That is, watch time is the accumulation of how long your video has been watched by channel visitors. It's different from the total duration of the videos you've uploaded, yes, gang.

3. 1000 Subscribers and Above

1,000 subscribers is actually a very small number when compared to the number of active YouTube users who reach 1.8 billion people.
However, to create content that is able to attract many subscribers is certainly difficult. In addition, you must also be active in promoting your channel.
4. Have an AdSense Account
The next requirement is to have a Google AdSense account that you will connect to a personal website, such as a blog, or in this case your YouTube account.
AdSense will match ads to your site based on content and visitors. These ads are created and paid for by advertisers who want to promote their products.
5. Not Violating YouTube Policies
Although YouTube frees you to be creative, there are limitations that you must understand when uploading your content to YouTube.
There are so many famous YouTubers who can't monetize videos because they upload content that violates copyrights, pornography, SARA, and violence. Spamming comments can also make your monetize application rejected, you know.
