YouTube, the world’s top video sharing website, has relaxed its monetization policy. As per the new rules, the monetization facility can be activated only if the channel has 500 subscribers, as against 1000 earlier. News The Verge.
You can earn through any YouTube channel by turning on YouTube’s monetization feature. But it is not possible to start the monetization facility of YouTube at will. For this, several conditions have to be met. As a result, no matter how good the video quality of new channels is, they cannot earn from YouTube due to failure to comply with the conditions.
The ‘YouTube Partner Program 2023’ policy also states that instead of 4,000 hours of video viewing time, it should be 3,000 hours. Also upload at least 3 videos within 90 days of application.
As a result of this new policy, new channels will be able to easily start earning or monetization from YouTube.
Initially, the new policy will be open to residents of the US, UK, Canada, Taiwan and South Korea. Gradually, people living in other countries will also be able to start monetization on YouTube channels under this policy.
