However, YouTube will also be slowly applying these policies in other countries.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the requirements were a little higher. However, the platform has eased these regulations so that small YouTubers can monetize their channels sooner. <strong>Yet, if you want to be monetized for ads, you must complete the old requirement of 4,000 watch hours and 1,000 subscribers or 10 million Short views<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But now the question is, how can you apply for this program?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_YouTube_monetization_work\"><\/span>How does YouTube monetization work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that we have answered your question about how many subscribers you need to make money on YouTube, it&#8217;s time to learn how. Firstly, you must fulfill all the requirements to start monetizing your channel.<\/p>\n<p>Your channel must have the minimum required subscribers and view count. Once you understand and fulfil the YPP requirements and create a Google AdSense account, you can earn revenue on the platform. The most basic <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube-marketing\/how-to-make-money-on-youtube\/\">way to earn money on YouTube<\/a> is through ad revenue. You will receive money through YouTube based on the video views and engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Since ad revenue is the basic source of income for many creators, there are various ad formats from which to earn. For example, skippable ads, non-skippable ads, display ads, etc. These different ads can slightly affect the earning potential of creators, but the revenue generated through ads will be determined by the engagement you receive on the videos.<\/p>\n<p>Additional revenue streams can enhance a YouTube monetization strategy. YouTubers can explore affiliate marketing, merchandise sales, channel memberships, etc., to diversify their income.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this faster, you can partner with <a href=\"https:\/\/veefly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube promotional services<\/a> like VeeFly, which can help you get your desired engagement sooner.\u00a0Once you have reached the partner program requirements, here&#8217;s how to join the YPP.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Join_YouTube_Partner_Program\"><\/span>How To Join YouTube Partner Program?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Firstly, you must apply for YPP once you have completed the criteria.
