HOW DO I EARN THROUGH YOUTUBE? By registering for and being accepted into the YouTube Partner Program, you can make money on YouTube. Without being a member of the YouTube Partner Program, you might still be eligible to collect bonuses for shorts as part of the YouTube Shorts Fund.
A FEW NOTES

Ways to make money in the YouTube Partner Program
The following features on YouTube allow you to monetize your account:
- Get advertising money through overlay, video, and display ads.
- Channel memberships: You provide members exclusive benefits in exchange for recurring monthly payments from them.
- Merch shelf: On your watch pages, you display official branded items that your admirers can explore and purchase.
- Your supporters can purchase Super Chat and Super Stickers to have their messages emphasized in chat streams.
- Income from YouTube Premium: When someone watches your material while subscribed to YouTube Premium, you get a portion of their monthly price.
In addition to subscriber and view count limitations, each feature has its own specific eligibility requirements. Specific functionalities might not be accessible if our reviewers decide that your channel or video is not qualified. There are two basic justifications for these higher thresholds.
The most significant one is that in every location where the feature is offered, we must adhere to legal restrictions. Then, we must ensure that we have enough context on your channel in order to reward good authors. This context generally indicates that we need more stuff to review.
Remember that we monitor channels frequently to ensure that your content complies with our guidelines.
