Can you make money from YouTube videos? YouTube says yes and has revealed its latest tips on how to monetize your YouTube content.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

YouTube is celebrating its 20th birthday<\/a> and marking 20 years of the Creator Economy. Giving a gift back to creators, the platform has shared its top tips<\/a> on how to monetize your content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube\u2019s Partner Program<\/a> (YPP) is thriving, having welcomed over 700,000 new creators in the last three years and paid out an astonishing $70 billion to creators, artists, and media companies. There has never been a better time to start earning on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking to make money from your content, here are ten ways to get your videos monetized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Ads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Advertising<\/a> remains the main way for creators and artists to make money from YouTube. Once you\u2019re eligible for the YPP, you can start earning revenue from ads displayed on your videos. YouTube has expanded its monetization opportunities through YouTube Shorts<\/a>, making it easier for creators to generate income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2. YouTube Premium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

YouTube Premium<\/a> is YouTube’s subscription tier, letting users enjoy ad-free content, background playback, offline downloads, access to YouTube Music<\/a>, and other benefits. YouTube says the majority of YouTube Premium revenue is shared with YouTube partners. YouTube is also experimenting with Premium Lite<\/a> to bring additional revenue opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

3. YouTube Shopping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sell your merchandise <\/a>easily by linking your online store to your channel<\/a>, or alternatively share other brands and retailers to unlock more revenues. Tag products in videos, Shorts, and livestreams to make shopping easy for fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

4. YouTube BrandConnect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

YouTube BrandConnect<\/a> makes it easier to connect brands with creators via insights. This makes it easier for creators and brands to reach fans through sponsored content that is both authentic and effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

5. Channel Memberships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fans can join a creator\u2019s channel<\/a> for a set monthly fee, offering fans access to exclusive perks and content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

6. Super Chat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During livestreams<\/a> and Premieres<\/a>, viewers can pay to have their messages highlighted<\/a> in the chat, helping their comments stand out while providing you with additional revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

7. Super Stickers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Similar to Super Chat<\/a>, Super Stickers<\/a> allow fans to purchase vibrant stickers during livestreams or Premieres, adding a fun and interactive way for them to support you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

8. Super Thanks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Viewers can give thanks across long-form videos, and Shorts through Super Thanks<\/a>. Super Thanks highlights their comment, giving them a special way to show appreciation and giving creators a way to earn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

9. Ticketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Got a tour coming up? List your concert dates on YouTube<\/a> so your fans can immediately discover and instantly purchase your tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

10. Gifts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
