Each month, YouTube creators earn money off the ads that play in their videos.
Many factors — like whether a video went viral or whether the audience that watches their content is valuable to advertisers — determine what a creator earns per paycheck. YouTubers are paid out monthly and either receive a check by mail or direct deposit.
To start earning money from YouTube’s Partner Program, creators must have 500 subscribers, three public uploads in the last 90 days, and either 3,000 watch hours in the past year or 3 million YouTube shorts views in the last 90 days.
