[@PeaSproutBabySensory]

Congratulations. I just started my KZbin channel and I watch these videos like yours for motivation.

[@DinaLu]

Good luck on the channel🙌

[@nicplaysstuff]

This video just popped up in my recommendations so I thought I'd give it a go. So glad I did! You explained the process clearly and simply and while my own wee nano-channel getting monetized seems like a fever-dream and a long ways off - you've given me valuable information should monetizing ever seem reachable. Thank you!

[@DinaLu]

Glad it was helpful!!!

[@chefstravels8429]

Great video, very informative. I just got monetised after 3 years. Just keep going.

[@DinaLu]

That's awesome! And glad you enjoyed the video!

Great info! Hello from another small GTA based KZbinr ✌🏼

[@DinaLu]

Hey Nicole! Thanks for the support 🙌

[@YourMoodCreator]

thank you Dina, 3:42 I am currently at the "Step 2" and felt that I missed something and I think it was the Tax thing (just filled it out). Also, your video is very helpful, I was glad to know you applied on Friday and got approved on Monday cause I did not expect they work weekends

[@DinaLu]

Glad it was helpful! Hope you get approved soon! 🙌

[@KlaraVyletal]

I am literally stuck at the moment at the ''Step 2'' for more than 48 hours and I was also feeling something is not right. This is so frustrating. So I just filled out the US tax form ( I am based in Germany and thought I do not have to do that :-D ). Can you tell me if you passed already the Step 2? And thank you Dina for the video, it was very helpful :-)

[@YourMoodCreator]

@@DinaLu Thank you very much! :)

[@YourMoodCreator]

@@KlaraVyletal I did not it pass yet (12/07/2023), I will update you when I get it. However, in my situation, 4th of July - l Applied for the programme, 7th of July discovered that this Tax form is not completed (also cause I am not in the US, I am in UK) I filled it at the same night, 10th of July I received an email that they could not associate AdSense with KZbin (and basic stuff about 2nd account I don't have) I got error with the step 2 (instead of processing it was just "there is an error with your AdSense account, to fix it "press ok" and it brought me back to AdSense page where I just agreed with the terms and the Step 2 became "in Progress" again)

[@KlaraVyletal]

@@YourMoodCreator 😮‍💨 okay thanks!! I hope it goes without any further problems and quickly fort is both 🤞🏻

[@JoanneJettie3]

Thank you for the really helpful tips! I especially like the idea of making easily searchable how to type videos in the beginning with the hope that they will eventually gain a lot of watch time. 👏

[@MelucidNaj]

How long did waiting take?

[@2tuffjuan]

Took me a year and a half as well to get monetized then I grew to 2k+ in a day which is insane

[@theJsFam1013]

Great Video!! 😃😃

[@DinaLu]

Thanks!!!

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

I just got my 4K hours a couple of days ago! A video and 3 supporting shorts I published last week took me over the edge big time. I thought it would be another 6 more months before I would get monetized....moreover, it was also hanging over me about the rolling 365 days of watch hours, knowing that I am "losing" hours as the days past or simply maintaining hours. Needless to say, it is a big relief, and like you said in your video, it took a lot longer than I thought. Nonetheless, what a journey and I've learned so much. Great to hear of your experience as well and thanks for making this video! Liked and subbed!

[@DinaLu]

Omg that's amazing, congratulations Gavin! I looked at the channel. I'm not into aquariums but if I ever hear of anyone who is, I'll tell them about your channel haha. Congrats again!

[@purrwithus]

Thank you 🙌🏻 needed this! Look at how much you’ve grown since posting this video, amazing 🎉

[@DinaLu]

Thank you SO much!!!

[@TheClosetRatchet]

Great video and very helpful. Thank you! I was hoping that it doesn’t actually take 30 days to be approved lol I got monetized on Saturday so hopefully sometime this week I’ll be approved. Hopefully by tomorrow! Ready to get this money lol

[@DinaLu]

Awww congratulations! Hope the wait isn't too long for you

[@DinaLu]

Thank you Anita! ❤️

Congrats!!! Compared to 1 month it took me 2 days which I was very shocked at. KZbin said I will only get the pin stuff after I reach the first threshold of $100. So its pretty confusing, even Ad sense hasn't asked me to verify my identity or link my bank; the tab is blank for me, but I have done the tax stuff already.Ive been waiting to see the amounts go up but nothing. How long did it take you to start seeing the money go up?

[@DinaLu]

Oh hmmmm..I don't remember the exact timing now since it was a year ago.... But I think I got the pin and stuff sorted pretty fast (since I don't remember much). Sorry I can't help much!

I love watching other youtubers and how much they make! I was monetized for a few years and then took a break from youtube and unfortunately dropped below the watch hour requirements so I lost my monetization :( been back consistantly posting on youtube these past few months so hopefully i can gain back my monetization

[@DinaLu]

Thank you so much! I love watching those kinds of videos too! Oh no, well if you did it once you can totally do it again, cheering you on!. Yesterday I actually posted a new video with my one year KZbin income results, I think you'll like it🙌

[@epicars6902]

I have grown 3 channels just had one I now monetize was uploading every day!

[@EndlessTravels]

Thats wild on watch hours, I seriously had my watch hours knocked out in like 4 months but the subs 11 months almost Apparently I was just a toy and after dinner I got left in the parking lot :) :)

[@DinaLu]

Yeah it took me so long to get the watch hours haha. It's different for everyone!

[@siriso007]

How long before u actually start seeing ads on your video after turning them on ?

[@DinaLu]

Right now, I believe all KZbin videos have ads on them. It's just a matter of whether or not the creator gets paid.

[@TRAILSandTRAVELS_with_JandP]

@DinaLu wow so inspring story. I am a newbie and just created my channel months ago. I hope you do not mind asking. I did try to apply for Adsense. I have about 19 watch hours and 119 subcribers now when I try to applied for Adsense it says denied as I have to wait to have 4k watch hours and 1k subcribers. I am based in USA. Or do you have a link for Adsense? I may using or applying in wrong website. Thank you so much. I appreciate you a lot. CONGRATULATIONS 🍻 🎉

[@DinaLu]

Thanks! To get approved for adsense, yes you do need to meet some requirements: 4K watch hours and 1k subs. Good luck! 🤞

[@ghettoking5871]

What if you get all the requirements in just 2 months. Will you be eligible for monitisation or you have to wait for 12 months

[@DinaLu]

Hey Ghetto, I think so. But I'm actually not 100% sure. Maybe check the KZbin monetization policies to see if they have said anything about that.

I think you need to fulfill the monetization requirements for EACH channel. As for the 2nd question, I'm not sure it matters?

i tried to apply for adsense, but its telling me i cannot at this time bcuz i do not have the required 1000 sub and 4000 watch hour...

Haha that's fair, but I didn't want to live stream for 5 hours a day 😂

[@KAIZORIANEMPIRE]

@@DinaLu TRUE BUT REmember, i was making money... actually i make $1000 or more on youtube through donations... and this is even before i was monetized... i just did live streams hooked up my pay pal, patreon and other forms of payment systems on the chat and pinned it and people donated.... you are a cute girl you could find a friend.. do some live streams you will get the donations... try it sometimes..

I got my monetization before 1k sub 😂😂😂 I’m too small a channel to make money tho

I did it in 2 weeks and 3 videos on my other channel. Not hard at all. Just post a few banger videos

Omg thank you so much this was a helpful! I do have a question though @DinaLu when you filled out the tax info, did they automatically send you a pin in the mail and you just wait for it? I don’t have anything that says the pin is on its way or anything like that 🧐

[@DinaLu]

Sorry, I can't quite remember!! 😩😩

[@CatzzMoney]

Good points. Creating videos where people are searching for stuff helps. There are recommended keywords websites like Tubebuddy to assist with keywords in the description.
