Eligibility Requirements (2026)

Ito ang pinaka-important part kasi dito madalas nalilito ang creators.

1) Kailangan YouTube Partner Program (YPP) ka muna

Ang Super Thanks at Memberships ay under fan funding features, so required na nasa YPP ka muna.

2) Minimum requirements para sa Fan Funding

Minimum requirements (baseline) bago ka maging eligible:

• Channel is in YouTube Partner Program

• 18+ years old

• Nasa country/region kung saan available ang feature

3) Paano makapasok sa “expanded YPP” (early access) — pinaka-common path

Kung nasa eligible countries (kasama PH), puwede kang mag-apply sa expanded YPP kapag na-hit mo:

• 500 subscribers

• 3 valid public uploads in last 90 days

• Either 3,000 valid public watch hours (last 12 months) OR 3M valid Shorts views (last 90 days)

Pagpasok mo sa YPP (500 tier), puwede ka nang mag-unlock ng fan funding features like Memberships at Super Thanks, basta pasok ka rin sa feature-specific rules.

4) Feature-specific restrictions (important!)

Super Thanks not available sa videos na:

• Age-restricted, Unlisted, Private, Made for Kids

• May Content ID claims

• Live streams / Premieres habang live (pero pwede sa archived long-form after)

• Comments turned off

Memberships eligibility reminders:

• Dapat not made for kids ang channel at hindi maraming ineligible videos (ex: made for kids, music claims)

5) Kailangan mong i-accept ang Commerce Product Module (CPM)

First time mo mag-on ng fan funding? Kadalasan hihingan ka ng acceptance ng CPM bago lumabas/ma-toggle ang features.

Best Practices para Kumita More

Super Thanks: mabilisang boost

• I-pin mo sa comments: “If you want to support the channel, you can send a Super Thanks 💛”

Memberships: pang-long-term income

• Start simple: 1–2 tiers muna (wag overload).

• Clear perks na madaling i-deliver:

  • Members-only posts (weekly)

  • Early access

  • Members-only Q&A (monthly)

• I-mention sa intro/outro: “Join button is open—members get ___.”

Common Mistakes / Troubleshooting

1. Walang “Supers” / “Memberships” tab sa Earn

   • Usually: not eligible yet (YPP/threshold/location), or di pa rolled out. Check expanded YPP thresholds + country availability.

2. Na-approve na sa YPP pero di pa rin ma-toggle

   • Madalas kulang pa: CPM acceptance.

3. Super Thanks di lumalabas sa specific video

   • Check if unlisted/private/made for kids/age-restricted, may Content ID claim, comments off, etc.

4. Channel set as “Made for Kids”

   • Ineligible ka for these fan funding features. Ayusin audience setting (kung tama talaga).

5. Maraming music claims

   • Memberships and some Supers can be affected kapag maraming ineligible videos (music claims).

6. Live stream Super Thanks?

   • Super Thanks isn’t for live habang live; but can be available sa archived long-form after.

Personal Experience Story

No’ng time na nag-decide akong seryosohin yung channel ko, sobrang stuck ako sa mindset na “kailangan 1,000 subs muna bago kumita.” Kaya ang ginawa ko? Grind lang nang grind, upload nang upload… pero walang strategy. Tapos napansin ko, kahit may viewers na nagco-comment ng “paano kita masusuportahan?” wala akong maibigay na direct option.

Doon ko unang na-discover yung fan funding route. Ang game-changer? Narealize ko na hindi pala dapat “hintayin” ang ads bago kumilos—puwede pala akong mag-build ng income habang lumalaki pa lang ang channel.

Una kong ginawa: nag-audit ako ng channel ko like parang boss mode:

• Tinignan ko sa YouTube Studio kung lumalabas na ba yung Earn tab (meron, pero super limited).

• Tapos chineck ko kung pasok na ba ako sa expanded YPP requirements: 500 subs, 3 uploads in 90 days, at watch hours/Shorts views.

• Saktong pasok na ako… pero ang plot twist? Walang Supers tab.

Dito ako muntik sumuko. Ang nasa utak ko: “Baka bug. Baka di talaga ako eligible.” Pero instead na mag-rage quit, ginawa ko yung pinaka-boring pero pinaka-important: hinanap ko yung dahilan kung bakit.

Then BOOM—lumabas yung culprit: Commerce Product Module (CPM).
Hindi ko pa pala na-aaccept yung CPM. So ginawa ko:

1. Desktop YouTube Studio → Earn

2. Hinanap ko yung “Get started” prompts

3. In-accept ko yung CPM (yes, yung parang agreements/terms na madalas nating i-skip)

4. After that, parang magic: biglang lumitaw yung Supers toggle at options.

Nung na-enable ko na yung Super Thanks, hindi agad milyon kinita ko—real talk. Pero ang napansin ko, nag-shift yung relationship ko sa audience. May mga loyal viewers na parang gusto lang talaga mag “thank you” in a real way.
Tapos nag-setup ako ng Memberships after, pero hindi ako nag-6 tiers agad. Isang tier lang muna, sobrang simple:

• Early access

• Members-only post weekly

• Monthly Q&A

Ang ginawa ko pang booster: naglagay ako ng pinned comment sa bawat tutorial:
“Kung naka-help ’to, you can support via Super Thanks or Join button 💛”
Hindi siya needy—clear lang.

Result? Mas naging consistent yung small earnings, pero mas mahalaga: mas naging solid yung community. Parang may inner circle na supportive, and that energy pushes you to upload more.

Kaya kung ikaw ngayon nasa stage na “eligible na ata ako pero di ko ma-enable”—promise, most of the time hindi ka sira, may one missing switch lang: eligibility details, CPM, or video settings. Sundan mo lang yung steps above, and you’ll feel that same “finally!” moment.
