Assalam! Welcome to Technical Tanveer by YouTube4. I'm Tanveer Askar, and today’s video is vital for new YouTube users whose channels have not been monetized yet or have been rejected for monetization. This discussion aims to clear a significant misunderstanding among new users regarding YouTube’s monetization process.
New YouTubers often believe that by merely completing 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours, their channel will be monetized. They think that the absence of strikes, claims, or warnings guarantees monetization. However, there’s more to it than just those numbers.
Even if your content has not received any direct issues like strikes or claims, it doesn't mean your channel is in compliance with all YouTube policies. Using content that you don’t own or have only verbal permission for will not suffice for monetization.
YouTube encourages creating original content. If you’re using someone else’s audio, video, or images, even with permission, it doesn't necessarily mean your content meets YouTube's monetization guidelines. Creative Commons licenses might protect you from strikes, but they don’t guarantee monetization.
If a creator licenses their video under Creative Commons, it means you can use it without receiving a strike or claim from them. However, YouTube's policy on reused content will still apply, and it can prevent your channel from being monetized.
If your channel is flagged for reused content, you need to identify and rectify these issues yourself. It involves deleting or editing videos that contain reused or third-party content. New YouTubers must review their entire content library to ensure compliance with YouTube’s policies.
Following YouTube’s guidelines, copyright policies, and ads policies is crucial. Even if no issues have appeared on your channel so far, it doesn't guarantee future monetization. You must ensure your content adheres strictly to these requirements.
Many rejections are due to reused content in shorts. Shorts can attract subscribers but might affect the reach of your long videos. It’s advisable to keep shorts and long videos on separate channels to avoid such complications.
New YouTubers, it’s essential to understand that the absence of strikes, claims, or warnings does not automatically qualify your channel for monetization. You must follow YouTube’s monetization policies, create original content, and avoid reused content. Always ensure that your content complies with YouTube’s comprehensive guidelines to increase your chances of getting monetized.
Q1: Is 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours enough for monetization? A1: No, meeting these numbers is only part of the requirement. You must also follow YouTube’s content and monetization policies.
Q2: Can I use Creative Commons content for monetization? A2: While Creative Commons content can protect you from strikes, YouTube’s reused content policy may still prevent monetization.
Q3: What if my channel has no strikes or claims? A3: The absence of strikes or claims does not guarantee monetization. Your content must comply with all YouTube’s monetization policies.
Q4: Do shorts affect my long video monetization? A4: Yes, shorts can affect your channel’s long videos. It’s recommended to upload shorts on a separate channel.
Q5: Can I get monetized if I have permission to use someone else’s content? A5: Permission from content creators can exempt you from strikes, but YouTube’s policy on original content for monetization still applies.
