How to Put Ads on Your YouTube Account

1. Log in to your YouTube account --- using your Google credentials --- and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Choose 'Creators and Partners.'

2. Click 'Benefits and Qualifications' and read them to make sure you meet the requirements to apply for the Partner Program. These include that your videos consist of original content, you have full rights to and permissions over said content and your video work enjoys high popularity, whether through YouTube or otherwise.

3. Apply for the Partner Program. Click the yellow 'Apply Now' button and enter your name, company information, the industry you're in, as well as information about your target audience and your channel's existing performance. Tick the two boxes at the bottom of the application to indicate your agreement with YouTube Partner Program's 'Terms of Service,' then click 'Review Application.' Click 'Submit' after you've read through your application to submit it to YouTube for review.

4. Wait for your ad to be approved before you expect to generate revenue from your contact. YouTube contacts you directly once this happens, but doesn't specify a time frame on its 'Partners Program' reference page. Don't re-apply before you hear an answer, as this delays the process further.
