I was happy after finding this genuine way of earning and so, I started my first YouTube channel. I uploaded the videos and applied for AdSense program to monetize my videos. As my channel don’t have any subscriber’s (or) viewers, I started clicking on my own ads.

OMG! One day, I saw my account was banned and Google has withdrawn AD-Overlaying on my videos. The result was my channel Banned.

After a few months, I created another channel and earned 50$ in 7 months. This is not a big amount but motivated me to work on YouTube.

So, you have to work hard and apply some marketing strategies to get at least 1000 Subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time on your videos. After you reach policy requirements your channels monetization feature will be enabled.

You have to monetize the videos and apply for a Google AdSense account. Google AdSense is Advertising partner that will Show ads in your videos.

You can withdraw your earnings only when you reach the 100$. Withdrawal is done through EFT. So, to receive payment you need to add your bank details to Google Adsense account.

1.Create social media pages

After naming channels you have to create a Facebook, Twitter and Instagram page with the same name to grow your audience.

If you really want to use Movie music then join an MCN(Multichannel network). It will prevent your channel from getting strikes. But MCN charges 30% of income for service provided.

I never had the ability to talk in front of 100 people. But now I have that ability as the day passes you can see changes in your skills and personality.

Don’t be shy to share your videos with friends. They may laugh at the beginning but when you grow your channel the will give respect.

Don’t work on YouTube just for money instead of making YouTube your passion. If you work just for sake of earning you will fail. so, just do it as your routine.
