How To Monetize a YouTube Channel: A Step-by-Step Guide

What does “monetization” mean? Before we jump into how to monetize your YouTube channel, let’s first talk about what exactly monetization means. When you monetize your YouTube channel, it means that you are able to earn money from your videos. When you upload a video to your YouTube channel, you have the ability to display ads either throughout the video or as a companion ad before/after the video. When the users watch your video, YouTube will display advertisements before, after, or throughout your video. If they click on an advertisement, YouTube will earn money and you will also get a portion of that money.
