I got 1000 Subscribers, 4000 Watch Hours but I can't Monetize

I finally got over 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours, but I can't monetize because AdSense thinks that I already have an account and does not allow me to add KZbin on top of it.
This is so frustrating because I can't contact AdSense or KZbin.
My AdSense account is glitched due to it being associated to AdMob and there isn't any support I can get.
So now, because my AdSense account is linked to AdMob, therefore, when I apply for that account to be linked to KZbin, I get denied.
This is a flaw in AdSense's review system because AdSense is meant to link both AdMob and KZbin to the same AdSense account, yet, it cannot tell that AdMob and KZbin is 2 separate entities.
Oh, the frustration!

[@soniateach]

How frustrating! I met the monetization requirements during the start of the pandemic. Every time I applied for adsense I would get a message that they had limited staff due to covid. During that time I actually saw other channels got monetized and be accepted so I was super frustrated! That's when someone told me that I shouldn't expect to make much from adsense anyway, and I started creating my own digital products that I promote on my channel. Finally about 9 months after reaching the requirements, my application went through. I still don't make much (now it's like $60/mo) so I'm glad I still have my digital products to make money from. Definitely recommend doing something similar. You could totally create a course for small KZbinrs or something! Hope that helps.

Hey, this is a year old video now. It is resolved. The problem comes from AdSense, not KZbin. AdSense has an issue linking different platforms to it. I had mine linked to AdMob and AdSense wouldn't let me link KZbin to it. However, AdSense claims it is not an issue but that's about it, they never did help me resolve it or look into it.

Thank you so much for sharing. I feel like i saw this for a reason. I recently started posting regularly on my cat sanctuary channel. I would love to get monetized to help keeo my kitty sanctuary going...plus also have a place to share (and to have a platform for me to save a memory) cute moments with the kitties here... I am seriously novice. Only 7 subs atm and lofty goals that are not just wanted, but truly needed. Pets are not living as long as they used to and I blame it on crappy pet food in all the stores...so i plan on having some videos on that subject. Meanwhile I really just want a regular ol me vibe...not suoer professional like these big channels. I find I subscribe and watch videos all the way thru if the people seem real and relatedable like you vs ones that appear over the top and over edited. I also dont want to have a channel just about pushing affiliate links but may have some, of course, for products I really believe in that I feel will help others.

[@KevinChee]

going from 7 subs to 41 subs in 3 days is something, you should feel proud. There's a big cat community out there who would love your channel I'm sure. But having said that, you do need to get serious about making money off your channel sooner or later. It isn't so much about making a profit for yourself. It is more about needing the money to sustain and run your channel. I'm sure you'll notice it as your channel continues to grow.

I do have a question...maybe you can make a video about it or have one you can link below for me. Do subs gained from shorts count towards total subs and monetization...or does KZbin keep them separate like it does watch hours??

I feel your pain in getting monetized! I got monetized a while ago and it was horrible process! I was 15 at the time and wasn’t able to signup for my own Adsense account and I got declined. After getting my parents to signup for one (which is what google recommends for going about this issue). It wouldn’t let me link it since I had previously linked my channel to the original one that I tried to create that got declined. Trying to get this fixed was terrible and google provided no help whatsoever. Just like your situation, google had no one you could talk to about the issue and I felt defeated and screwed over. The fix for me was to wait 38 days and then it let me relink the new Adsense account to my channel. In the end I lost an entire month of revenue which would’ve been pretty significant at the time. I hope you get your situation figured out. I know how it feels 😞

I got monetized in the end! Check it out - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnncgn9vZ9l6aac

I'm glad it got worked out, I know now it is all automated. I'm glad fam, keep it up!

I'm sorry bro, but hope you're gonna fix it 🙏🏼

Still a few tricks to try but let’s see how that goes

@@KevinChee you'll fix it, I trust you 🙏🏼

[@master_zar]

It’s getting pushed again!! More subscribers incoming!

[@KevinChee]

feels great! although... it started getting pushed again after I launched my last video. Coincidence?

[@JJTPesq]

That’s crazy… I pray this doesn’t happen to me. I’d loose it. I’ve been grinding so hard making videos I don’t even want to make just because they will get views.

[@KevinChee]

Yeah. The best way is if you can start a brand new AdSense account. Good thing is you can start today.

[@destinyroland5677]

Hey man, just went through your page, your content is nice. But I must say I'm not impressed. Your views are not even consistently going up for someone who has been doing KZbin for long. You have got some serious research to do. KZbin is not just about luck. It also comes down to our we go about it

[@JJTPesq]

@@destinyroland5677 thank you genuinely. I really do appreciate any feed back ( Hell even a view). Truth I don't do it as a career and my job limits some things I can say and talk about so you are right its not "well done". Plus the time is not accurate because I have really only started posting a in earnest a month or two again and sporadically because 1. as stated I have to get clearance to say some things; 2. I have a few day jobs and filming and editing takes time; and 3. I don't have a constitution to be honest. Initially it was going to be about explaining the law daily show style but the amount go editing and post production is not worth it. Then then I did the laws behind social media things like the AITA. Again prost production and filming takes forever. Then there was the well I have 50K on tiktok so how do I make videos I can post on both. Then it became reaction with analysis but again the post production. Then I realized I was getting just as much out with less facts and proof because people rather talking head than evidence. That said I would prefer a better product explaining things and adding value to a conversation but people gravitate more toward throw rocks at hot topics like the brick give or trump so why bother. If I want to get to the 4000 hours I am getting more view time on throwing red meat and fireballs even if I don't believe it than being honest. That is what social media is which is why again I said I don't like the content I put out all the time and why so much is sitting in my editing folders because I don't want to compromise myself to say things to get views. As I said I have a real job and real like pays more. I can't let my side hobby mess with that so you are correct I am not grinding like some. What I more meant was I was taking more time to eak out views and views. I dont think I have 200 videos total including shorts and I have about 1000+Hours maybe where people do that on one video throwing red meat. For my own personal goal I want the 4000 but I am not going to let that compromise who I am or interfere with my real life. If I wanted to make it a career I could use the strategies and I have the content hot spot apps etc. I do me and hope for the best. I don't ask for money because that is not what its about but I do get you point where I could work more if I wanted to be in the space.

[@PipBets]

I had a similar issue and am happy to know, even a smart guy like you had issues with their procedure. It's obvious They need to simplify this

[@KevinChee]

It's just logical steps that Google needs to get better add

[@clickntap]

AdSense doesn't have good support, I had an issue when I started using it in 2019 and that was when I saw that it was very difficult to talk to anyone from AdSense. And yes, the forum button is very annoying cause sometimes no one responds, but if they do it's just advice, not solutions. According to what I've read, only people making a lot of AdSense money have special customer support. Try getting a family member to open an AdSense account with their ID, then you just connect it to your KZbin.

[@KevinChee]

Yeah, for some reason Google knows all of my gmail account in the same household. Just weird that it keeps saying I'm trying to apply for Admob when I'm really applying for KZbin!

[@clickntap]

@@KevinChee they're all under AdSense. For me I don't have an id that Google accepts, it takes a while to get one in my country. But my cousin does so she created an account. And linked my KZbin to it. Once I get my id, I'll close the account and open one under my name.

[@NatureTrips]

Dude, I’m really sorry for you. KZbin should do something about that. I hope you solve it

[@KevinChee]

Not KZbin's fault. It is a bug on AdSense. Both companies are under Google but they do not talk to one another.

Thanks for sharing. I have 6 KZbin channels and my biggest channel was suspended in year 2020. From your info, now I fully understand why it is so difficult to monetize. Early this year, i have already given up hope of this idea of getting it monetized. My other streams of income are better, stable and predictable, so henceforth my posting of video in KZbin is just for recreation purpose. Once again thank you. 😀

[@KevinChee]

That's good. Using YT as leverage for your other businesses is always smart.

As a proud member of the 30-subscribers club, I'm here watching this video, daydreaming about hitting that 1k subscribers mark, and then realizing I might still be in the same boat wondering if I'll ever get monetized lol

[@KevinChee]

KZbin has changed their monetization plan. You can join when you hit 500 subs and I think 2k watch hours or something. You still can't play ads on your videos though but at least you can verify if adsense works for you much earlier.

[@iamezrajalel]

My issue is from AdSense where they refuse to link my account to YT because it is linked to AdMob. If you can create a new verified AdSense account then you might just be able to use that instead. But keep it for KZbin only though

Is funny to see your comment from 7 months ago :"This is a year old video, not sure why it is getting pushed now. I have already resolved this problem," . :)) The reason why is funny , is because i got this video recommended by youtube and now the video is 2 years old . Also congratulations for 520k views on this video . :))

Haha, I wish but my views aren't just coming in, which is why I always talk about the 'luck' in getting views to massively grow views and watch hours. I don't have that so I'll have to take the long and patient road. I'd say this is another obstacle to overcome, I'll get there :)

[@EDMclassics]

Try being in the music scene. There are channels with million plus subscribers (IE Rick Beato) that cannot be monetized due to the music played is 'copyright'. Even though they have the artists direct permission. Monetization is not the be-all of KZbin and there are other ways of obtaining an income 😉

[@KevinChee]

I definitely do not speak on behalf of music, that's a whole different genre and something I will not touch. But if I am in the music niche, I wouldn't be looking at monetizing on YT but rather, use YT as a platform to spread my music (assuming I am writing my own song).
