YouTube is a popular platform to make money through video content. However, before a channel can earn from ads on YouTube, it has to meet certain requirements. This article will discuss the guidelines for monetizing YouTube videos, how to check if a video is monetized, and some tips and tricks to help you increase your YouTube monetization earnings.

How do I know if I qualify for monetization on YouTube?

Monetization Eligibility Checker is a free tool that can help you determine whether or not a video is eligible for monetization on YouTube. Simply enter the video’s URL, and the tool will return the status (either monetized or not) as well as an estimate of how much money the video has made over the past year. The tool also shows how many public views the video has gathered since it was published.

The first thing to note is that, even if you have met the minimum requirements for monetization (at least 4000 public watch hours and 1000 subscribers) and adhere to the YouTube Monetization Eligibility Checker program guidelines, you might still be ineligible for monetization. This is because YouTube reviews each channel before allowing them into the YPP, and they might demonetize channels that violate their guidelines.

Another important note is that it can take a while to get approved for monetization, and sometimes you might not be approved at all. This is because there are a number of factors that are taken into consideration when reviewing your application, such as if you’ve violated the community guidelines, or have an account that has been demonetized in the past. This can take months, and some creators report that they never hear back from YouTube at all.
