Now friends, let me tell you from the beginning. What do you have to do first regarding YouTube ? To earn money from YouTube, look, the first thing is that I am telling you again. I will tell you the total knowledge, the total process. First of all you have to create a channel on YouTube. To earn money from YouTube, you have to create a channel first. Which is absolutely free. Ok? This is absolutely free. There are If you have any phone, then with that phone, be it a phone worth Rs 2000, Rs 5000, Rs 10,000, as long as the internet is working, then you can create a good YouTube channel on that phone, which I have also taught you to create absolutely free. You will find a link to that in the description of this video. Where it is written want to create a YouTube channel then you can learn by watching this video of mine. What to do first ? Want to create a YouTube channel. So how to make it ? I have already told you. If you want, you can go and see. Now friends, there is a condition after creating the channel. If you upload videos etc. after creating the channel, you will not get any money. Do you know when you will get the money? When your channel's monetization is turned on. Now many of you might be wondering what is this monetization? I have never heard of monetization before. What is this after all? So let me tell you, suppose this is your YouTube channel. Ok? Now you are in this field and there is a wall in the middle or a bridge or anything. Whoever is on this side gives money on this side. So the name of this field is monetization. Meaning, what do you have to do to get across this and get into the money field ? Will have to monetize. Meaning, if your channel is like this is the monetized section and this is the non-monetized section. The video is made on both sides. But if you keep making videos like this, your subscribers will increase, not get any money. [Sound of clearing throat] But if your channel gets monetized, monetization is turned on, then whatever views etc. come on your video, all that will become your money, your earnings. Ok? So first you have to turn on monetization. But now the question arises that how will monetization be turned on ? What do we have to do for this? What money will we have to pay or what will we have to do ? So brother, you don't have to pay even a single rupee. How does monetization turn on ? Let me tell you. For example, any YouTube channel has a criteria , a rule. Just like in any exam, if you give an exam for something, then only if you pass it, you get the job, similarly in YouTube also there are some small rules. You will follow that rule. You will follow that rule. After that your channel will be monetized. Now what is that rule? YouTube says that when you create a channel, after creating the channel, you should keep uploading videos etc. on the same channel. Keep uploading videos etc., do everything. Ok? Then as you upload videos etc., increase. Just like there are followers on Instagram etc., similarly there are same way your subscribers will increase. After that your video will also get views etc. People will see it and also like it etc. So brother, YouTube says that after creating the channel, you should work on it. After that, we call monetization as being eligible for YouTube's partner program. Ok? Now when will your channel be monetized? The first thing is the condition of YouTube for the channel to be monetized. Meaning YouTube says that creating a channel is free. Make it, do everything and upload videos also. Everyone can do it. But we will monetize only those channels whose channels should have completed 1000 subscribers. It will be fine if it is at least more than 1000 subscribers. And brother, at present YouTube has also announced half monetization. Meaning, even if your channel has 500 subscribers, you can still monetize the channel. Ok? So right now I am telling you about full monetization. What are the rules? Your channel must have 1000 subscribers. Suppose your channel has 1000 subscribers. After that, if you make long videos like I am making then your channel should have 4000 hours of watch hours. And if you make short videos then your video should have 10 million views. Now friends, some of you will be confused as to how this 4000 watch time will be counted? So let me tell you, for example, suppose there are many people. Ok? There are many Now someone watched this video for 5 minutes, someone watched it for 10 minutes, someone watched it for 20 minutes, someone watched it for 2 minutes. In this way, when everyone watches, everyone's minutes are counted. In that way, 4000 watch time should be 4000 hours. Ok? So this is the rule of YouTube. The channel will have 1000 subscribers. And this must be it. make a long video then get 4000 watch times. If you make shorts, get 10 million views. After doing all this, when you accept that all this will be completed. One of these two will happen and if this happens then brother, after that you can apply for monetization of your channel. What can you do after all this happens? You can apply for monetization of the channel. You get an apply option. Okay, right? In your YouTube app. Ok? So after applying, your channel goes to YouTube for review. Then YouTube checks. YouTube feels that yes, this content is absolutely correct. He is making videos well. So after that he turns on monetization of your channel. Now friends, after monetization is turned on, earning starts on your video. But how does one earn money ? How do we get money ? How much time does it take to get to the bank? What are the processes? Let me tell you in more How it happens here is that a monetization channel has to be created. monetization. Now how does the money come to us after it is on? Let me tell you. Now friends, see what you have to do first after the channel gets monetized ? You have to turn on monetization of your videos. views the video gets, you will earn money from all the videos. So what is the first thing to do ? You will have to turn on the monetization of the channel i.e. the video. The channel has been monetized but the monetization of the videos will have to be turned on. Once you do this, turn on monetization and after that you will start earning. How will we get the money now? Now please understand this carefully. Look brother, YouTube does not give us any money for subscribers. No matter how many subscribers your channel has. Whether you have 1 lakh subscribers or 2 lakh subscribers or 1 million subscribers. YouTube does not pay for subscribers. Now the second thing remains that what happens to our likes ? How much money do you get for likes? So brother, you do n't get any money even for likes. You do n't even get paid for sharing. But what do we get from money? So it is a simple thing. We get money for just one thing. Do you know what that is? That is about views. We will get money according to the number of views our video gets. Now brother, we will get money depending on how many views we get. So brother, let me tell you that the money we get is in dollars. Not in rupees because this is US YouTube. Okay, right? Now see what happens? Suppose I tell you it is normal. Suppose a video gets around 2000 views, then the earning on it is around $1. If a channel gets 3000 views, then it earns around $1. So this is approximately how it happens. One can So this is approximately how it happens. One can comes then $1 is earned on it. So in this way the earning of channels of all categories is different. If a channel gets 2000 views, it becomes $1. If a channel gets 3000 views, it becomes $1. If a channel gets 1000 views, it becomes $1. This is how earning is done. So what do you have to do ? You have to keep uploading videos. Have to keep earning. The way the views come, the same way your dollars will be earned. Now friends, what do you have to do after that ? Now look, you will have to earn minimum $10 on your channel. Ok? Ok? After you earn $10, you will have to do AdSense verification. Now many of you will be confused as to what is this Adsense? So brother, let me tell you that AdSense is an account like a bank account. We have to create this AdSense when we monetize the channel. You might not have understood it yet. But whenever you monetize the channel, is this AdSense account okay at that time? This will have to be made. Because without this money does not come to us. YouTube doesn't give money to anyone without it. YouTube does not pay directly to our bank. YouTube always gives money to Adsense. Now Adsense sends money to our bank. It happens something like this. I what should be done? You will have to earn a minimum of $10. then you can do your Adsense verification. Meaning you will have to verify it with your PAN card. Then a six digit PIN will come to your address like this. Ok? Adsense Verification Pin. So after entering this PIN you will have to do verification etc. Ok? So this will happen. Now friends, after that, understand carefully what will have to be done here? Once the PIN verification is complete, you will have to add your bank account. Now people will think where to add this bank account ? Should we add it to the YouTube app? No brother, bank account is never added on YouTube. I am telling you again. YouTube never deposits money into your bank. YouTube pays money to the AdSense account. This is an online bank account. Ok ? Have an international bank account. Whatever you earn from your YouTube channel, you will give it to AdSense. Now Adsense will deposit it in your bank. So where will we add the bank? Will add it to Adsense account. What do you have to do there? You need to enter your account name. Account holder name. After that, whatever the account number is, has to be entered. IFSC code has to be entered. And one of the most important things is the SWIFT BIC code. Now look brother, if you take any money from abroad then you will have to enter the SWIFT code. Now if you do not know what Swift code is then you can go to your bank branch and find out. Tell there that I am asking for money from abroad through YouTube for which I need a Swift code. Then the bank people will give it to you. Swift code is similar to IFSC code. Ok? You must know the IFSC code. Similarly, there is a separate SWIFT code through which we can take international money. Ok ? Now friends, you will add your bank account. Now how do you get money after adding? Now understand it carefully. This is the most important thing. Now look here, you will know that this is your YouTube's YT Studio. Now friends, your channel here is fine, right? Whatever you earn on your channel will be your earning show here. All these options may be coming to you at this place right now. All the options may not be coming. But when your channel gets monetized, you will see the earnings of last 28 days here, that is, how much you have earned in the last 28 days. This is how you can see it here. So do you know what your earnings here will be, whatever dollars you make? See how the money was received? Please understand carefully. Now brother, we get money on monthly basis. For example, let's say it's January in a simple way. Ok? February is over, March is over, April is over. This is how our month ended. So how do you get the money ? Do you know. Now whatever you earned from your YT studio, for example, in the whole of January, from January 1st to January 31st, let's say we from January 1st to January 31st, let's say we earned a total of $50 because brother, money Ok? If you want, you can watch it in rupees by changing it, but actually YouTube gives it in dollars. Let's say we earned $50 in the whole month of January. Okay, right? So what will happen now? The next month is January. This is fixed for the 10th of the next month in which you earn. Ok? 10th of every month, for example, if you earned $50 in January, what is the next month? February, so 10th February. Ok? The 10th February. Ok? The money will reach your Adsense on 10th February. Do you know what that means? This money from YouTube is yours, YouTube will send it to AdSense. YouTube will never send money to your bank. YouTube has nothing to do with your bank. YouTube has to do with Adsense. Now Adsense has dealings with the bank. This is how money is earned. So what happens is that whatever you earn will come on the 10th of every month. For example, if I earned $50 in January, then here on 10th February, $50 has been added to us. So now see, this Adsense sends them money from 21st to 22nd. Ok? From 21st to 22nd. So if I received $50 here in February, will it also has a rule here now. What is its rule? They say that I must have at least a minimum of $100 here. If we have at least $100 or more, we will send the money on the 22nd of the same month. we will send the money on the 22nd of the same month. So like I only made $50 in January. So look here it is $50 on 10th February. $ It hasn't happened. Nothing more has happened than this. So what will this do? I will keep the money here. Will not forward it. Will not send to your bank. Suppose again you earned $20 in February for example. Ok? Again, earned $20 in February for example. Ok? Again, 10th of March, again $20 will be added here. Now how much did we have before? 50 and 20 now becomes $70. So this is the addition, our total in March became 70. So brother, will you send the money to our bank on 21-22 March ? Will not send. Because this time also the total is only $70. What is its rule? That we have at least $100 then we will send it to you. So brother, if it is not $1 then what will he do? I will stop here. Your money is not going to do anything. He will keep it to himself. They say we should have at least $100. Then we will give it to you, otherwise we will keep it with ourselves. Now after that, in the next month, say in March, you again earned $50 for example. So if you earned in March, what happens on the 10th of the next month of March ? april. Suppose you earned $50 again on 10th April, which means it got added here. Now after the addition, first it was 70 and then 50 was added here. Meaning the total became $120. Now look here, this has totaled to $120 in the month of April. This means that more than $100 has been collected here. So what will he do now? The month in which there will be more than $100 dollars. Like what happened in April, what will he do? It will be transferred to your bank between 21st and 22nd April. It is obtained like this. Meaning YouTube never gives you money to the bank. YouTube always pays money to the AdSense account. Now when your total pay with Adsense is $ or more, then it will send the money to your bank on 21st to 22nd of the same month. more, then it will send the money to your bank on 21st to 22nd of the same month. Because it takes some processing time etc. to come from outside. Meaning, the point here is to understand it simply. Whatever you earn from YouTube, what does it do on the 10th of every month ? Sends it to Adsense. What does he do now after that? Its sending process is from 21st to 22nd of every month. But there from 21st to 22nd of every month. But there is a rule for this. If he has minimum $ then he will send it. If I don't have $100, I will keep it here. In the month in which the amount is $100 or more, the money will be transferred to your bank between 21st and 22nd of the same month. Then it will be message will also come on your phone. Ok? So this is the process of getting money. Now friends, if you have any other doubt then you can comment. Either you have to learn to create a channel, learn to upload videos. Total things you will can go and see. I have told you everything absolutely free of cost. If don't forget to like the video and if you are new to the channel, please subscribe.
