HOW TO CREATE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL
• How to create a YouTube channel
• When you create a YouTube channel. Creating a personal account or under the name of a company. Most steps are the same for both accounts.
• 1. Login to your Google Account
• Regardless of the kind of channel, you’ll have, you’ll need a Google Account. To create one, just access YouTube’s website, click on Sign In, on the upper-right corner of the screen or the 
bottom left corner and enter our personal or corporate account, if you already have one.
• 2. Create your channel
• On the upper-right corner, if you already have an account, you likely see your image or the logo of your company if you’ve set a profile picture. If you don’t have a photo, you’ll see a light-
blue circle with the first letters of your name.
• Eligibility Requirements
• Not all accounts are eligible for monetization and the partner program. YouTube updated its requirements in January 2018 with strict minimum subscribers and views. To join the program 
you must have a minimum of 1,000 subscribers and more than 4,000 hours watched in the previous 12 years. The new requirements are intended to weed out spam accounts and deceptive 
look-alike accounts. It essentially means you must build a brand and be vested in growth to meet the minimums.
• How to Monetize
• Monetization on YouTube is to create income through the production of videos. Both self-employed workers and organizations can participate and guarantee a good income. This process is 
enabled by the ads of other products or services, which are displayed in the monetized videos of the platform. Video monetization is based on the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). There is 
no cost to subscribe, just have a YouTube account and have an active channel.
• You will not have the option to monetize until the minimum threshold is reached. After completing, it will take over a month for a decision. Reaching the minimum threshold and applying 
does not guarantee acceptance. When you are ready to apply, go to the creator studio, select the channel and click monetization.
• YouTube AdSense Account
• To monetize through YouTube, you need a linked YouTube AdSense account. AdSense is Google's monetization platform for all content types and the platform will issue your payments. If you 
already have an AdSense account, no further steps are needed. When YouTube approves your partner account, you can simply link your AdSense ID to the account. If you do not have 
AdSense, stay within the YouTube platform and set up your monetization settings.
