After creating their channel on YouTube, posting the first videos and recruiting the first subscribers, beginners can not wait to start making money on views. This can be done by joining the video hosting affiliate program and connecting monetization.
Previously, in 2014-2016, it was not difficult to do this. You just needed to have more than 100 subscribers on your channel and several videos with a couple of hundred views. You sent an application, considered it for some time and made a positive decision as a result.
Since 2017, the situation has deteriorated markedly. The video hosting service, seeing a huge influx of authors and a deterioration in the quality of the added content, decided to impose restrictions on the connection to monetization, namely: 1000 subscribers and 10,000 views - the minimum results that are needed to apply.
In February 2018, YouTube surprised and at the same time disappointed everyone even more: it decided to put things in order in a serious way. He began to mercilessly block channels with non-unique content, began for a very long time, for several months, to check applications for connecting to monetization, and, most importantly, introduced a new minimum threshold: 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of views.
The requirements are very big. If before that it was possible to somehow wind up the views, then what to do with the watch, and even so not so small?
The first way out of this situation is to regularly publish new videos. It is logical, because the more there are, the more views and those hours you will have.
The second solution to the problem is to conduct streams, which are very popular lately. With one such live broadcast, it is possible to get several hundred hours of views at once. But for this you must have some kind of loyal audience, your fans and fans who will not be bored of listening to you for several hours in a row.
After all the necessary requirements are met, we send an application to your personal account in the "monetization" column. Now we can only hope for good luck, since many not very popular accounts are increasingly denied to connect a partnership.
