How does youtube monetization work?
Youtube monetization works with google adsense, it lets you enable google ads on your videos and get paid when your video viewers see the ads that was placed on your videos.
Let’s say you own a youtube channel and you finally decide to make money from your hard work, all you have to do it this, get up to 1 thousand subscribers and 4 thousand hours watch time, and once you achieve this, you can join the youtube partner program
When you apply for the youtube partner program, they will let you know through your email whether your channel is ready to be monetized, and if it is, they will start showing advertisements called ads on your videos when people are watching them, and every month, you will be paid, it is quite straight forward
How many views do you need to get paid on youtube?
You first need to achieve your first 4000 watch time hours, which means, people need to have watch your videos for at least 4000 watch hours time before you can be able to get paid from your youtube channel.
For example, if you have 60 videos on your youtube channel and all of the videos sum up to 60 minutes, this means you need at least 4000 views across all your videos in order to be able to monetize your youtube channel,
Getting that amount of views for a new youtube channel is not an easy task, you need to work really hard to achieve this, but there are tutorials that will help you achieve this success in a quicker and more strategic way.
There’s no trick on how to get your channel for monetization, but there are many strategies that many people are using to get their youtube channel ready for monetization.
How to get paid by youtube in Nigeria
1. Have a clear camera or smartphone
If you want to succeed as a youtuber, you need a good camera, that is, if you want to be creating videos of yourself or the ones that were taken with camera or smartphone, people prefer videos of great quality, and if you can create them, you will be able to succeed
You necessarily need a camera to start your youtube channel in Nigeria, you can use your smartphone, as long as it has a clear camera, you can start with it, in fact, I am also using just my smartphone to create videos for my youtube channel
So you can also do the same, you can also use smarphone video editing apps to edit your videos to make them professional, I use Kinemaster, and it is very good, so you can use the same app, or use the one you think is best for you, as for me, kinemaster is the best
2. Create your youtube channel
Creating a youtube channel in Nigeria is as easy as creating a youtube channel anywhere else, it is damn easy, all the requirement is just having a Google account, if you have a Google account, you already have a youtube account, all you have to do is to use that youtube account to setup your own youtube channel.
There is an article that covers all the steps to creating a youtube channel, so if you are ready to start creating your youtube channel, you can read it here.
But here are some things I’ll advice you know before going to create your channel. Creating your channel is easy, but managing it and uploading quality videos is a lot harder, so bare this in mind, most people often think it will be easy and if you think the same, you may end up giving up, so know to yourself that managing a youtube channel is one hell of a job, which is why I will also advice you to do your research very well before jumping into it.
3. Optimize your youtube channel
After creating your channel, the next important thing you should do is optimize it, when I say optimize I am talking about giving it a professional look so that whenever people come across it, they will know that it is valuable
Or don’t you want your channel to have a professional look? Of course you do, and one other thing about optimizing your youtube channel is, if you optimize it, people will easily find it on youtube, if your channel is easily found on youtube, chances are, you will appear to a lot of people
And the more people your channel appears to, the more subscribers and video viewers you will get, so how do you optimize your channel?
Easy, give your youtube channel a very clean and simple look, you can use your photo, but to make things more professional, I will advice you create your own logo, great business will also have a great logo
Give your channel a great and detailed description. You should spend time writing the description of your channel, if your channel is about dogs, go straight to the point and write it to let people know that your channel is about it
Don’t beat around the bush, you will end up sounding like non professional, so take your time, I will advise you to spy on other channels that are doing great, learn how they write their descriptions and how their channel logo is and try to implement the same strategy.
You should also try to include your keyword into the description of your channel, so if your channel is about dogs, you should make sure your description mention dogs, puppies, pets and so on, when you do this, even youtube itself will understand what your channel is about.
If possible, create playlists for your channel, playlist is like an album of some of your videos that are similar, so if you have a dog channel, you can have playlists like dog food dog medications or something like that, I don’t know much about dogs so forgive my unprofessionalism please.
4. Upload videos regularly
Since you are looking to get paid by youtube, you should also take it very serious, I mean, you should really take it serious, take it like your job, besides you are expecting to get paid for the work you are about to be doing, so please, I will say it again TAKE IT SERIOIUSLY
When I say take it serious, I am talking about your consistency, upload videos regularly, if possible, upload new videos every week, because you are just starting out, and when you have some few subscribers you can reschedule.
Sometimes coming up with new video idea is difficult, so the one thing that will help you for sure is creating a list of videos you will be creating in the next 30 days, at least, with this list, you have a long time to come up with new video ideas.
And please each video that you are creating, make sure it is of high quality, think like your video viewers, make sure the videos you are uploading are worth watching, if it is something that you can spend time watching when you find it on other youtube channels, then it is a go.
5. Join the youtube partner program
The youtube partner program is how you will make money through your youtube channel, when you join the partner program, you are allowing Google to advertise on your videos, and when people are watching your videos, and these advertisements will show
The more people see the advertisements the more you will earn, but remember, this is not a get rich quick kind of thing, it takes time
One thing is this, before you can be able to join the youtube partner program, you need to have at least one thousand subscribers and four thousand watch hours time, that is why I said you should be consistent and also provide quality videos
Because, the more you create quality videos, the more people are going to see and love your channel, and if many people love your channel, they are going to subscribe to it. There are many ways on how to get subscribers for your youtube channel, but there’s no magic trick that will help you do that, it all require serious work
But I believe you can do it, besides people that are doing it don’t have 7 heads, do they?
How to create a youtube channel
Just head over to youtube.com and sign in with your Gmail account, after signing in, tap on the photo of your Gmail account and tap on create your channel, once you do this, you can start creating your youtube channel on the go, its that easy
Although, I will advice you read a more comprehensive guide on how to create a youtube channel, or watch the video in order to know some vital things you need to do to make it effective, but seriously, there’s nothing critical about this, following this short steps I give you will help you create your channel for free, but to make sure you are doing everything right, you need a more comprehensive guide.

Since your channel is new, nobody knows about it, just you and you alone, if you upload a video, It will barely rank, and if videos don’t rank and nobody know about your channel, you won’t be able to be getting views on your videos, so the best way to get views to your videos
Is by promoting your videos on external sites like facebook, pinterest, twitter and many other social networks, when you do this, you are going to start getting your first few views, and if your channel lives for a longer period, your videos may start ranking and getting organic views on their own
One thing is also to do keyword research before creating your videos, if you do this, your videos will start ranking on related videos and you will be getting views constantly
