Get Ads on Your YouTube Channel

Getting into the YouTube Partner Program

If you want to get ads on your YouTube channel, you will need to be part of the YouTube Partner Program. This program allows content creators to earn revenue from YouTube through ads. However, YouTube has criteria that you need to meet before you can join. Not every creator can get into the Partner Program. YouTube will only partner with those who have a total of 4,000 watch hours over a year- plus, at least 1,000 subscribers. Without meeting all of those criteria, your channel will not be even considered for the program.Those criteria can be very difficult for a new channel to meet. So, if you want to get ads and monetization quickly, you are going to need to be making a consistent amount of content. VisCap Media can help you get there. We have experience making a wide range of content, so be sure to look at our portfolio if you are interested in learning more. Joining will give you access to more features, including screens and cards at the end of your video. This can entice people to click on your links and visit your website. These are better at getting clicks than a link in the description box since they are easier for the viewer to find.It is also helpful to know that YouTube uses AI to simplify marketing. You will want to be sure that you have targeted ads enabled on your channel for it to work. This can help you earn more in ad revenue.

Enable Channel Monetization

Open YouTube and click on your profile picture in the top right corner. From there, open the YouTube Studio section. The word “Monetization” will be on the left side. Click “Video Advertising”, this link will allow you to check your monetization status and review your settings.To enable monetization, open the studio, click “Features”, “Monetization, then click “Start”. This allows ads to play during your videos. If it is not enabled, then you will not be earning any revenue. If you want to turn on ads for all of your videos, hit “Settings”, “Upload Defaults”, “Extras”- this will allow you to automatically enable ads on all of the future videos that you upload. For individual videos, you will want to go to the “Video” section of your Creator Studio. There is a section that will show you whether each video is monetized or not, you can easily make the changes from there. Be sure to save all of your settings.

Connect Your Channel to AdSense

You will want to connect your YouTube Channel to AdSense, especially if you want to get paid for your newly monetized videos. Google support has created a helpful page detailing the AdSense account process.Be sure that you only are using one AdSense account under one name that matches the name on your YouTube channel. Otherwise, your account setup will be disapproved or shut down- meaning you will have to start over.

Learn About the Ad Formats

It is also important to know about the advertising formats so that you can make the most of them on your channel. These include:

• Skippable in-stream ads
• Non-skippable in-stream ads
• Video discovery ads
• Bumper ads
• Outstream ads
• Masthead ads

Google support covers all of these advertising formats thoroughly on their website. If you want to learn about them, be sure to check it out. They cover what each one is and how it can be used for brands. If you are trying to get views, you will want to think about how these fit into your video. You can put them at the beginning, middle, and end.Or, if you want to get your brand’s ad onto the site, then you will want to make sure that it can fit into one of those formats. Otherwise, YouTube will not accept it until you match one. Their support team helps adjust your videos for you, however, you will need to already have the content created.
