How YouTube Monetization ACTUALLY Works (Every Way to Earn Explained)

Описание: Most creators think YouTube monetization is just ads — and that misunderstanding keeps a lot of people stuck.

In this video, I break down how YouTube monetization ACTUALLY works, step-by-step, and explain every official way you can earn on YouTube, including options that unlock before ads.

We’ll cover:
• Advertising revenue (watch page & Shorts ads)
• Shopping (your products & affiliate links)
• YouTube Premium revenue
• Channel memberships (recurring income)
• Super Chats, Super Stickers & Super Thanks
• Why some features are locked even when others are on
• The logic behind YouTube’s monetization requirements

This video is for:
✔️ Small YouTubers
✔️ Creators confused by locked monetization features
✔️ Anyone working toward YouTube Partner Program
✔️ Creators who want income beyond ads

YouTube monetization is tiered, policy-based, and ongoing — not a one-time reward.
Once you understand the system, you can move with clarity instead of frustration.
