Eligibility Requirements:

The amount you earn per ad varies based on ad format, viewer demographics, and engagement, but it can range from a few cents to several dollars per 1,000 views.

2. Brand Deals & Sponsorships

Brand deals and sponsorships are a popular way to monetise your channel beyond ads. As your audience grows, brands may approach you to promote their products or services in your videos.

3. Merchandising

Selling branded merchandise is another lucrative way to monetise your YouTube channel. You can sell:

🛍 T-shirts, hats, mugs, stickers & more through platforms like Teespring and Spreadshirt

Your earnings depend on:

✔ Type of products
✔ Price point
✔ Audience size & demand
