Everyone is moving to the internet world and that is evident with platforms rising and attracting people's attention and time. One of them is YouTube we are all conversant with. For an average youth in this present age, it is hard for one not to have come across what YouTube is. The YouTube platform like other platforms was once for just posting videos and gaining followers but over the years, the idea of YouTube monetization came and so you could generate income by posting videos and gaining subscribers.
The idea of monetisation comes when YouTube feel that as much as they are getting rewards for people making use of their platform, then they can also reward those users most especially the committed one so that they stick to them and keep attracting people to their platform. But in as much as that idea of monetisation might sound so cool and easy, this does not mean that getting income for posting videos comes on a platter, you will have to meet several requirements before you can start monetizing your account.
I have come across a lot of YouTubers struggling to get their channel Monetised. A lot have given up on their journey of posting their content on the platforms due to their channel wasn't Monetised. But the big question is, some people are still getting their Channel Monetised irrespective of that. What might have been wrong? What is it that those people are getting right that the other people are not? Well, the simple answer is just Strategy.
Strategy is what differentiates people who succeed and people who fail. It is not only enough to desire success of any kind, if there is no right Strategy in place to bring that wish into reality, it will forever remain a wish. Well, today I will be discussing with us some of the vital strategies that I strongly believe you could apply to get your YouTube channel Monetised in no time.
THE STRATEGIES FOR MONETIZATION
(1). Quality Content
Once again like I said earlier, there are prices to pay if you want to get what you desire. Same thing as the world of YouTube. It is not only enough to work hard but you need to apply smartness and that is where the choice of strategy you follow comes into the picture.
The first strategy I would like to discuss to monetize your account is that you will need many subscribers and this can be achieved when you create content that is of high quality. Let us just start from there, quality content is the key. When you have something tangible to offer, you will eventually get followers which will increase your chances at monetization.
People go after results and humans are programmed in a way that we always want quality much more than quantity. Everybody wants good thing and that also point down to the content we make on YouTube. If you want people to trust their time on the internet in your hands, you must make sure they are getting something of quality in return for their time and that comes by you making quality content.
(2). Consistency
Success is birthed on the foundation of diligence and it comes due to consistency. For every diligence to be effective, consistency needs to be put in place. In as much as you are creating that quality content, be consistent in it. Be Consistent with content creation, the more you upload the more subscribers you are likely to attract, when you are consistent with generating content, it shows that you can be trusted and you know what you are doing.
Now I quite understand that it might be difficult sometimes to be consistent in the stuff you are doing if you are not getting results to keep you going and motivating you more to keep going, but that is how consistency goes.
Consistency works in a way that even though it is not convenient, you just need to keep going. Let me say that consistency does not work in your comfort zone. So don't expect to be consistent in your comfort zone.
(3). Search Engine Optimization
You don't just start making money on YouTube because you post content, some requirements must be met before can be qualified for payment.
You must have 1000 or more subscribers before you can receive payment
You must abide by the rules and regulations that guide the use of the platform
You must have accumulated more than 4,000 hours of people watching your accounts for the year
To meet all those requirements, one of the important factors for reaching a wider range of subscribers is using what is called search engine optimization, this refers to using titles and keywords that allow your content to be discovered easily by the audience.
(4). Make Rooms For Improvement
There are always improvements on strategies that could give you subscribers, this therefore makes it a necessity that you stay afloat with information and learn to adapt fast to changes that may occur. Keep improving day by day. Keep working on improving the quality of your content daily, keep working and keep working day by day.
You notice that before you are not utilising the social media platforms to your advantage, you can start. That is one way of improvement, you can use social media platforms to connect with persons who could become subscribers to your YouTube account. On your social media platforms, you can update your contacts on new content that is available on your YouTube page.
As I conclude, Nothing worthwhile comes easy, if you want to monetize your YouTube account then you must be prepared to build your page consistently by engaging the various strategies that have been listed on this page. One virtue that you must also possess is patience, patience to continue creating content even when the view and subscribers are not encouraging. With time your consistency will stand out as someone who can be trusted.
