Introduction

YouTube has recently announced some new updates to its monetization policies, and it's essential for creators to be aware of these changes. In this blog post, we'll discuss the new requirements, what you get access to on each level, and other important information you need to know.


YouTube Monetization Requirements

To be eligible for YouTube monetization, creators must meet the following requirements:
  • 500 subscribers
  • At least three videos posted in the last 90 days
  • No active Community Guidelines strikes
Additionally, regular creators must have 3,000 valid public watch hours in the past year, while shorts creators need three million valid public shorts views in the last 90 days.

What You Get Access To

Once you meet these requirements, you'll gain access to several monetization features, including:
  • Channel Memberships: Similar to Patreon, creators can offer exclusive content and perks to subscribers who pay a monthly fee. YouTube takes a 30% cut, while the creator receives 70%.
  • Super Chat: Viewers can donate money during live streams to support the creator.
  • Super Thanks: Similar to Super Chat, viewers can now donate money on regular videos by clicking the "Thanks" button.
  • Promote Your Own Products with YouTube Shopping: Creators can sell their own products or promote affiliate products on their channel, even without ad revenue.
  • YouTube Creator Support: Access to chat support for any issues or questions you may have.


Youtube Monetization Countries

These new monetization features are rolling out to the US, UK, Canada, Taiwan, and South Korea. If you don't see your location yet, don't worry - just be patient and make sure you meet the requirements mentioned above.

Inside YouTube Studio, go to the "Earn" tab and look for a way to be notified when you've met the requirements. This will keep you updated on your eligibility status.
