Checking YouTube Monetization Status Made Easy

How to Check Your Monetization Status on YouTube

Welcome to our tutorial on checking your monetization status on YouTube. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to determine if your account is monetized and if your AdSense is associated with your account.

Step 1: Select the Content Tab

To start, navigate to the left side of your YouTube dashboard and select the "Content" tab. This will take you to a page that displays all your uploaded videos.

Once you're on this page, look for the monetization status indicator. If monetization is turned on, it should be clearly indicated here. This is usually represented by a green dollar sign or a message stating that monetization is enabled.

Step 2: Check the Earn Tab

If you've confirmed that monetization is turned on, the next step is to check your earnings. To do this, select the "Earn" tab on the left side of your dashboard.

This will take you to a page that displays your earnings from ads, merchandise sales, and other sources. Make sure that your AdSense account is associated with your YouTube account. If it's not, follow the prompts to link them.

Verifying Payment Status

Once you've confirmed that your AdSense account is linked, look for the payment status indicator at the top of the page. If everything is set up correctly, it should say "Getting paid". This indicates that you're receiving payments from YouTube.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter any issues while trying to check your monetization status or earnings, here are a few common problems and their solutions:

• Monetization not turned on: If monetization is not turned on, ensure that your account meets YouTube's monetization requirements. This includes having at least 1,000 subscribers, 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months, and complying with community guidelines.
• AdSense account not linked: If your AdSense account is not linked to your YouTube account, follow the prompts on the Earn tab to link them. Ensure that you have a valid AdSense account and follow all instructions carefully.

Conclusion

Checking your monetization status on YouTube is a straightforward process that involves just a few steps. By following the guidelines outlined in this tutorial, you should be able to determine if your account is monetized and if your AdSense account is linked correctly.
