By applying to become a partner, you can improve your YouTube channel by creating new content and attracting new subscribers. Read on to learn how you can join the program. You can learn how to join YouTube partner program today. And don&#8217;t forget, your channel&#8217;s quality will improve dramatically!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_approved_for_the_YouTube_Partner_Program\"><\/span>Getting approved for the YouTube Partner Program<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to be a part of the YouTube partner program, you&#8217;ll first have to apply to join. You&#8217;ll need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of Watch Time before you can be approved. After you&#8217;re approved, you can begin monetizing your videos. If you&#8217;re declined, you&#8217;ll have to fix your content and reapply within 30 days. In some cases, it can take weeks or months to get accepted.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve completed the application process, you&#8217;ll need to link your YouTube account to your Google AdSense account. You&#8217;ll want to select at least one option. You can choose as many as three if you want to. YouTube will then dispatch payments according to your insights for the YouTube Partner Program. Once you&#8217;ve completed the application process, your channel will become automated and start earning you money! You can even earn extra income by uploading older videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Re-applying_after_30_days\"><\/span>Re-applying after 30 days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to join the YouTube Partner Program but have been turned down in the past, you may have to wait at least thirty days before you can re-apply. If you have been rejected, there are two ways to reapply: by editing your content or by requesting a review from YouTube. Deleted videos will lose all of their views, engagement signals, and SEO &#8220;juice&#8221; and will therefore not be promoted as frequently.<\/p>\n<p>Re-applying after 30 days is possible if you are rejected the first time. However, if you want to re-apply after that time period, you should make sure that you meet the requirements set by YouTube. YouTube may reject your application for several reasons, and this can be frustrating. In such a case, you can apply again in thirty days. If you were rejected the first time, you will have to refine your content and your channel to meet the YouTube partner program&#8217;s requirements.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dealing_with_DMCA\"><\/span>Dealing with DMCA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing you must understand when applying to join the YouTube partner program is what YouTube does not allow. For one thing, you cannot apply to the partner program if you use any content that is copyrighted. YouTube will suspend your channel if you use copyrighted content on your channel. In such cases, you will have to prove that you own the rights to the content. This means that you must own the rights to any music or images used in your videos.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, the YouTube partner program provides access to an online copyright match tool that notifies you when someone uses your content without attribution. You can then decide what action to take. You can also enter a live chat room with YouTube employees to discuss your rights and possible solutions. If you&#8217;re not sure about the right steps to take, consult a legal professional. You&#8217;ll want to avoid copyright violations at all costs!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Copyright_match_tool\"><\/span>Copyright match tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube has partnered with third-party video hosting platforms like Vimeo and DailyMotion to provide YouTube creators with a means to track and report illegal content. To get notified of duplicate content, users must be the first uploader of the video. The &#8220;matches&#8221; tab will display matches based on time. If the videos contain clips of a video that is not your own, you can report them using the webform provided by the copyright owner.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure that content is legitimate, YouTube offers a tool called Copyright Match. It is a stripped-down version of Content ID. It detects re-uploaded videos and offers the original uploader a choice to do nothing, contact the channel, or remove the content. Content ID is a proactive system, while Copyright Match is reactive. The tool is not a substitute for DMCA. Copyright Match works only on already uploaded videos. It cannot stop unauthorized material from appearing in the future.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"354\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UdYq_Bqp6y4\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Join YouTube Partner Program The YouTube partner program allows you to gain access to many exclusive features, such as live streaming, custom thumbnails, and in-video programming.
