The simplest way to monetize your music on YouTube is with Content ID from iMusician, which you can opt-into on any of our distribution plans, regardless of your subscriber or view count.
However, if you already have an established YouTube channel that meets the four requirements below, you may be eligible to generate another revenue stream via acceptance into the YouTube Partner Program:
You must have 1,000 subscribers on your YouTube channel
Your videos must have 4,000 watch hours over the last 12 months
Your channel and content must comply with YouTube's policies and guidelines
You must have a Google AdSense account set up
After becoming a partner, YouTube advertisements will be placed on videos you upload and you will be able to monetize your content based on how many views the videos receive.
YouTube constantly monitors channels in its partner program to see whether they continue to meet their policies and guidelines, so once you are accepted, be sure to keep yourself informed to avoid any issues.
