Become A Youtube Personality

YouTube personalities produce videos on YouTube and post them on their channels. YouTube personalities make money through the following:

Advertising revenue - Ads revenue from the display, overlay, and video ads
Channel Memberships – members earn recurring revenue in exchange for special perks they offer
Merch Shelf – When channel fans browse and purchase official branded merchandise, you showcase it on watch pages.
Super Chat & Super Stickers – Fans pay to get their messages highlighted in chat streams
YouTube Premium Revenue – Get part of a premium subscriber’s subscription fee when fans watch your content.

You can start earning money through either or all of the above options, so long as you meet their YouTube-defined criteria and they are available in your location.

If you want to make money on YouTube, you must apply and be approved for the YouTube Partner Program, which gives creators greater access to YouTube resources and features.
