## Summary

The video is a tutorial for YouTube creators who have recently been monetized, focusing on the crucial steps to enable ads on their videos. The host demonstrates how to manually turn on monetization for each video, set up ad slots, and optimize ad placement to maximize revenue. The key message is that monetization is not automatic and requires intentional action to avoid losing potential income.

### Key Points

- **Monetization is not automatic** [00:01] — YouTube does not automatically place ads on your videos; you must manually enable monetization for each video to start earning.
- **Enable monetization for each video** [02:45] — Go to YouTube Studio, click on 'Content', select a video, click the dollar sign, and turn on ads. This must be done for every video individually.
- **Ad-friendly content guidelines** [04:20] — YouTube lists content types that are not monetizable, including inappropriate language, adult content, violence, shocking content, harmful claims, drug content, dishonest behavior, hateful content, firearms, sensitive events, and controversial issues. Ensure your video does not contain any of these.
- **Save your changes** [08:42] — After selecting 'None of the above' and submitting, you must click 'Save' to apply the monetization settings. Without saving, the changes are not applied.
- **Manage ad slots manually** [09:25] — YouTube's automatic ad placement may not be optimal. Manually add ad slots at natural breaks in your video to increase revenue potential. For an 11-minute video, you can add multiple ad slots, but YouTube may not approve all of them.
- **Mid-roll ads eligibility** [11:43] — Videos must be at least 8 minutes long to be eligible for mid-roll ads. Shorter videos can only have pre-roll and post-roll ads.
- **Review and delete unapproved ad slots** [15:02] — YouTube may reject some manual ad slots. Review the 'Manage ad slots' section, delete the rejected ones (marked in red), and keep the approved ones.
- **Verify monetization status** [17:48] — After saving, the video should show a green icon indicating it is monetizable. You can then set the video to public.

### Conclusion

To maximize YouTube earnings, creators must actively enable ads on every video, manually place ad slots at natural breaks, and ensure content complies with YouTube's ad-friendly guidelines. This proactive approach is essential to avoid missing out on potential revenue.

my video Do you understand So the very first thing YouTube says here is inappropriate language Please inappropriate language I don want to start mentioning them here You know those languages that are not appropriate Those languages that if someone should use it on you all those S words F you understand If it continues in your video the video is not monetizable
Now the second thing is adult content. Sexual behavior, language or expression, including both real and computer. Like, you know what it means, adult content.
You know the kind of content that you wouldn't want your children, children below 18 to watch. you're ready to go so this one is violence um violence solutions showing hurt damage or injury
when people are fighting you see accidents on the way you're filming the accident with blood and everything you're filming cops and all of that they don't want to hear when people are fighting
like war those iran whatever whatever whatever you understand is not needed on youtube now another Another thing is shocking content. Shocking content, situations that may upset, disgust or shock viewers.
You know the kind of things that can shock someone. All of a sudden you're just watching videos on YouTube. Boom! You're seeing someone's cup. You're seeing someone trying to buy a lot of that. It is not needed on YouTube. It is not monetizable.
Now another thing is harmful acts and unreliable claims. solutions that may endanger participants do not make claims do not make claims then this other one
is recreational drug content now please if you're someone who drinks not on youtube you understand i don't even want to i am trying my best to control my weight you understand so i'm not
saying something that will be against you to community guidelines just go through this yourself now we have um enabling dishonest behavior content glorifying or promoting dishonest behavior before you upload anything ensure that that is the truth now we have um hateful
content hate harassment towards group or individual i have said this before when i summarize youtube's community guidelines if you've not seen that video let me know in the
comment section. Do not say anything bad about someone's religion, about someone's gender, about someone's ethnic group, about someone's whatever thing, about someone's culture. Do not say
and even if you don't like them, just keep it to yourself. Don't come here trying to say, oh, you don't like this, you don't like that. It's against the community guidelines. Another thing is firearms.
Firearms. Do not come here telling people where they should go and buy firearms. How to produce it and all of that is against YouTube's community guidelines of sensitive events, events dealing with war. I already said it now, dealing with war.
Like now the discipline, you understand, do not bring them on YouTube. Controversial issues, controversial issues. If you are into entertainment, please be very, very careful with it.
Now, personally, this video is about how to use AI to create content. You understand? So this particular video does not have anything at all to do with all these things that YouTube just listed here.
So because it does not have anything to do with all these things that YouTube just listed, I'll go ahead and click on none of the above. So I've gone ahead to click on none of the above. Immediately I click on none of the above.
Immediately I click on none of the above. This is what YouTube is telling me. It says how you rated your video overall. See, therefore means that how I rated my videos because I've clicked on all these things, it means that ads will be placed in between my videos.
Not just ads, YouTube premium and other YouTube revenue. You understand? So, at this point, it has all ended here. If you check below here, if you check below here, you go ahead and click on submit.
You go ahead and click on submit. Now after clicking on submit, if you go ahead and click on submit without changing, it will just be as though you have not done anything. So automatically once you click on save, it therefore means that YouTube after going through your video will add the following pre-roll ads, mid-roll ads, post-roll ads and these other kinds of ads.
the skippable, non-skippable, display ads and all of that. So at this point I'll go ahead and click on save. I'm going ahead to click on save. Now that I have clicked on save,
guys, we are not done yet. Jogger start. So at this point I'll go ahead and click on manage ad slot Manage ad slot Now I have gone ahead to click on Manage Ads Slot It has brought me to this interface Now let me tell you something This video is a video of 11 minutes A video of 11 minutes And if you check here these are the automatic ads that YouTubers added for this video Like YouTubers added in between this video
Now imagine a video of 11 minutes, you could be placing just two ads in between this video. The first ad is around 1 minute 7 seconds and all of that while the second one is around 8 minutes.
Now what if someone does not even watch this video to that 8 minutes? I don't even get my point. So what we are going to do at this point is for us to manually place ads in between this video. If not, you will not make money.
You have people watching your videos yet you are not making money. So if you are monetized, this is what you have to do. Go and turn on ads for all your videos. After turning on ads, it has not ended there.
All those videos that are getting views recently, go and turn on ads. The way I'm going to show you in this video. Go and sit down and turn on ads manually for each of those videos. So what I'll do at this point is this.
Now, for you to place ads in between your videos, you have to place these ads where there are breaks. probably when you say something and you pause. So that space where you pause,
that is where you have to place the ad. And let me also tell you something. As a content creator who is not monetized, when creating your videos, when talking, do not wrap all through. Break.
Do you understand? Did you notice what I did? I gave a little break like this. Do you understand? So that ads will be placed in between those videos. Do you understand? So now this is what I am going to do. I will come here.
I want someone to watch my video, the beginning of the video. I want ads to be placed at the beginning of the video. So that even if someone does not even watch it to the end, I will get something. Now, what will enable you to make money on YouTube is not the video per se.
Do you understand? The video matters. The length of the video matters. Because if your video is up to 8 minutes, you'll be able to turn on a mid-roll ad for the video. If the video is less than 8 minutes, you will not be eligible.
That video will not be eligible. for me to do ads you understand so the very first thing i'll do is i'll place ads at the beginning of my video now look at this place can you see this cursor it works very well i want to show you
something i want to show you something now can you see this can you see now i'll place it at the very beginning at zero zero look at the duration here at zero zero zero zero zero zero zero now as i'm
I'm placing it, what I will do next is for me to go ahead and click on Insect Art Slots. I'm going to need to click on Insect Art Slots. Now, if you look at it, you'll see that it's now three.
Now, because I can't really recall the places where I paused, all I will do is for me to just drag this thing small, small. I'll keep clicking on Insect Art Slots.
Do you understand? I'll keep clicking on Insect Art Slots. Now the thing is this, if your ads are very many, if your ads are very many, people might just watch your video and they'll be so so tired, they'll just be like, ah there's too many, they will skip.
But let me also tell you something, why I like doing mine like this is because YouTube will still review these things and then get back to me. Not everything that YouTube is going to approve. You understand?
So as you're doing it, you can do it plainly like this. If you look at mine, there are very, very many. There are very, very many. It does not mean that you can do it to approve everything. So for a video of 11 minutes, I think that you have up to 4 hours in between the video.
Do you understand? So do not forget, always place ads at the beginning and at the end. So all I will do at this point is for me to click on continue. Do you understand? After clicking on continue, I will then go ahead and click on save.
Do you understand? If you do not click on save, it means that you have not done anything. Now, it does not take time for YouTube to review your ads. All I will do at this point is for me to close this interface.
Do you understand? So, I have gone ahead to close the interface. I will come back. I am going back to Chrome. I will go back. I will type studio.youtube.com studio.youtube.com
I have typed studio.youtube.com like I am starting afresh I will click on continue to studio I have clicked on continue to studio now and I waiting for it to take me to my channel dashboard You understand Now it has brought me back to this interface This is what I am going to do I go ahead and click on content again The second icon at the next hand side I going to click on content again I go ahead No before I go ahead Can you see this This is the video
Now ads is now turned on for this particular video. Have you noticed that? Now what I will do at this point is this. I will go ahead and click on the video again. I have clicked on the video. This is the interface that I am seeing. I will now go ahead and click on the dollar sign. I have clicked on the dollar sign. So it will take me to another interface. Now it has dropped into this interface. If you look at it, YouTube has dropped a message for me.
YouTube said consider moving some of your manual ad slots for better chances of showing ads. You understand? Do not panic. So all I will do at this point is for me to go ahead and click on Manage Ad Slots.
I've clicked on Manage Ad Slots. Now the ones that YouTube approved will be there. The ones that YouTube has not approved will show in red. Look at them here. These ones YouTube has not approved them.
They are showing in red. So what I will do now is for me to delete them. If you look at it very well, you will see where it's been. Like baskets now. So all I will do is for me to click on the baskets close to each of them.
Only the ones that have red stuff. The ones that YouTube has not approved. You understand? So let me tell you guys my logic now. I like placing the ads plenty.
So that YouTube will reject some and now leave some for me. So for a video of 11 minutes, let's see how many ads that YouTube has left for me. So this is one. Let me use this. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. So now I have 6 ads in between an 11 minute video. You understand?
So the ad is the money if you are not watching your ad it therefore means that you won't be making money And I know most of you will be like is it not too close now let me show you something It's not too close though. Let me read the duration for you. So the very first one
The very first ad for this video is at Is at zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero this thing so meaning that once you open the video you see this ad now the second one is at 1 minute 7 seconds the second one the third one is
at 2 minutes 7 seconds the third one is at the fourth one is at 8 minutes 11 11 seconds the other one is at 11 minutes 24 seconds
you understand so is not too close is not too close so that is it guys so what you do do not forget to click on continue you have to click on continue after clicking on continue you go ahead and click on save up here you understand you go ahead and
click on save after clicking on save you minimize come back to youtube you understand come back to youtube if you check now you notice that you notice that this particular one is showing green
it's showing green meaning that this content is monetizable so all i will do at this point I'm just going to go ahead and click on these three dots here. I'll go ahead and click on the three dots. I've clicked on the three dots.
I'll go ahead and click on edit. I'll go ahead and click on visibility. I'll go ahead and click on visibility. I've clicked on visibility. Then I'll now put it in public.
Now, I'll go ahead and click on save. Do you understand? So, if you close it, if you close it, come back again to YouTube app, click on view, click on your name click on videos now you see that this video is public
