Nakakainis ’yung moment na excited ka na mag-monetize tapos biglang lalabas sa YouTube Studio: “Not eligible for monetization.” Parang hard stop. Pero good news: madalas fixable—kailangan mo lang malaman kung alin sa requirements/policies ang tinatamaan.
Sa guide na ’to, i-breakdown natin kung ano talaga ibig sabihin ng “not eligible,” ano ang pinaka-common na dahilan, at step-by-step kung paano mo aayusin para makapag-apply (o ma-restore) ulit sa monetization.
Ready? Let’s go—full clarity, no guesswork.
Ano ang ibig sabihin ng “Not eligible for monetization”
Kapag lumabas ang “Not eligible for monetization”, ibig sabihin hindi pa allowed ang channel mo na mag-access ng monetization features (lalo na sa YouTube Partner Program / YPP), either dahil:
-
Hindi mo pa na-meet ang eligibility requirements (subs/watch hours/Shorts views + uploads), OR
-
May issue sa policies/account (example: strikes, reused content, AdSense problems, invalid activity, etc.), kaya blocked ka mag-apply or na-disable ang monetization.
Important: Magkaiba ang “not eligible” vs “limited ads” sa isang video. Yung “limited/no ads” kadalasan video-level (advertiser-friendly). Yung “not eligible” madalasan channel-level / program-level.
2 klase ng monetization eligibility (500 vs 1,000 subs)
May dalawang “levels” na dapat mong maintindihan:
Level A: Expanded YPP (500 subs) – fan funding (hindi pa full ad revenue)
Para makapasok sa expanded YPP (depende sa country availability), kailangan mo ng:
-
500 subscribers
-
3 valid public uploads sa last 90 days
-
3,000 valid public watch hours (last 12 months) OR 3M valid public Shorts views (last 90 days)
Level B: Full ad revenue (classic YPP threshold)
Para ma-unlock ang ads revenue share:
-
1,000 subscribers
-
4,000 valid public watch hours (last 12 months) OR 10M valid public Shorts views (last 90 days)
So possible na “not eligible” ka pa simply because kulang pa stats mo. Pero kung lampas ka na sa stats at not eligible pa rin—policy/account issue ’yan.
Top reasons bakit “Not eligible” ang channel mo
1) Kulang pa sa YPP requirements (stats/uploads)
Pinaka-common. Lalo na:
-
watch hours mo hindi “valid public”
-
Shorts views mo hindi umabot sa required window
-
wala kang 3 public uploads in 90 days (for expanded tier)
2) May Community Guidelines strikes or active violations
Kapag may strikes/violations, puwedeng ma-block ang application or ma-disable monetization. Channel monetization policies apply channel-wide, hindi lang per video.
3) Reused content / “mass-produced” / low originality
Ito yung sakit ng maraming channels:
-
compilations na halos walang sariling commentary
-
reuploads
-
AI voice + stock footage na sobrang generic, walang value-add
-
“borrowed” clips na minimal edit lang
YouTube checks channel overall compliance with monetization policies.
4) Copyright issues (claims/strikes)
-
Copyright claim ≠ automatic not eligible, pero kung pattern ng copyrighted content (music/TV clips) + reused content, puwedeng maapektuhan approval.
-
Copyright strike is serious at puwedeng mag-block.
5) AdSense / payments / account eligibility issues
Example:
-
may existing AdSense conflict (duplicate account)
-
hindi verified identity/address
-
policy issue sa AdSense side
6) Channel not compliant / incomplete setup
-
missing 2-step verification
-
not enough public content
-
“made for kids” settings confusion (hindi automatic, pero minsan may ibang restrictions)
-
location/availability ng expanded YPP tier (country rollout)
Paano ayusin: step-by-step checklist
Step 1: I-check mo kung “requirements” o “policy issue” ang dahilan
-
Open YouTube Studio
-
Punta sa Earn tab
-
Basahin kung may nakalagay na:
-
“Grow with YouTube / Meet requirements” (stats issue)
-
“Not eligible” na may link sa Help Center o policy hint (possible policy/account issue)
-

Step 2: Confirm ang thresholds mo (watch hours/Shorts views)
-
Kung long-form focus ka: aim for 4,000 valid public watch hours / 12 months
-
Kung Shorts focus: aim for 10M valid public Shorts views / 90 days
-
For expanded tier: 3,000 hours or 3M Shorts views + 500 subs + 3 uploads / 90 days
Quick fixes sa watch hours:
-
Gawing public ang videos (private/unlisted doesn’t help much for public thresholds)
-
Mag-live stream weekly (watch time booster)
-
Gawa ng series + playlists (binge effect)
Step 3: Ayusin ang “reused content” risk (kung ito ang hinala)
Kung ang content mo ay:
-
puro clips na hindi ikaw ang gumawa (movies, anime, TikTok, FB reels)
-
compilation na halos walang narration/analysis
-
reupload ng ibang creator
Gawin ito:
-
Mag-add ng real value: voice-over commentary, analysis, tutorial, personal demo, on-cam explanation
-
Iwasan ang full reuploads kahit “edited” lang
-
Create 10–20 original videos bago mag-reapply (para makita pattern ng originality)
-
Update channel branding:
-
About page: explain niche & value
-
Thumbnails: original design
-
Titles: clear & not “bait”
-
YouTube monetization policies emphasize compliance channel-wide, and reused content is a known reason for issues.

Step 4: Check strikes & warnings (Community Guidelines + Copyright)
-
YouTube Studio → Content → filter mo by Copyright (kung meron)
-
Check Channel status / warnings
-
Kung may strike:
-
sundin ang expiry period
-
complete training (kung available)
-
avoid repeating the same format
-
Tip: Kahit isang viral video mo ang issue, kung “identity” ng channel mo ay risky, possible maapektuhan approval.
Step 5: Review advertiser-friendly risks (kung video-level ang problem)
Kung YPP member ka na pero limited/no ads ang ilang videos, check Advertiser-friendly content guidelines (self-certification matters).
Heads up: YouTube has adjusted some monetization handling on sensitive topics and profanity in recent updates, pero may boundaries pa rin.
Step 6: Ayusin AdSense / verification / payment setup
Kapag eligible ka na sa YPP at mag-aapply:
-
Ensure one AdSense account only
-
Complete identity verification kung required
-
Make sure tama ang personal details
Step 7: Re-apply (kung rejected/demonetized before)
Kapag sinabi ng YouTube na puwede ka nang mag-apply ulit:
-
Fix content issues first (originality, strikes, compliance)
-
Keep uploads consistent for several weeks
-
Apply via Earn tab
Pro move: Mag-upload ng “channel proof” videos:
-
intro video (“what my channel is about”)
-
tutorial/how-to with screen recording
-
original voice + original examples

Common Mistakes / Troubleshooting
-
Nagpupush mag-apply kahit puro reuploads → mataas chance reject (reused content).
-
Shorts views/watch hours outside the required time window (90 days / 12 months).
-
Unlisted/private videos → hindi counted as expected sa public thresholds.
-
Thumbnails/titles misleading → risk sa policies at user trust.
-
Music na copyrighted sa halos lahat ng uploads → claims pattern = red flag.
-
“AI spam content” (sobrang generic, repetitive) → puwedeng ma-flag as low-value/mass-produced.
-
AdSense conflict (duplicate account / incomplete verification) → stuck sa application stage.
FAQ
1) Eligible na ako sa 1,000 subs at 4,000 hours pero “Not eligible” pa rin. Bakit?
Usually policy/account issue: reused content, strikes, or AdSense problems. Start by checking Earn tab messages + channel violations, then audit your most viewed/recent videos.
2) Ano ang pinaka-common na dahilan ng rejection?
Reused content at channel-level non-compliance. Lalo na compilations/reuploads na walang strong transformation/value-add.
3) Puwede ba ma-monetize ang compilation videos?
Yes IF may clear originality: strong commentary, critique, educational framing, at hindi “clip dump.” Otherwise, high risk.
4) Ilang videos ang kailangan bago mag-apply?
Walang exact number, pero may requirement na valid uploads, at mas safe kung may consistent library ng original content (10–20 solid uploads) para visible ang channel identity.
5) Ano ibig sabihin ng expanded YPP (500 subs)?
It’s a lower tier (fan funding features) requiring 500 subs + 3 uploads/90 days + 3k hours OR 3M Shorts views; full ad revenue needs higher thresholds.
6) Kapag “Limited ads” sa video, same ba sa “Not eligible”?
Hindi. “Limited ads” is video-level ad suitability (advertiser-friendly). “Not eligible” is channel/program eligibility.
7) Gaano katagal bago ma-approve ang application?
Nag-iiba-iba. Focus ka sa compliance + clean channel; doon mo kontrolado outcome.
Conclusion + CTA
Ang “Not eligible for monetization” ay hindi end-game—signal lang siya kung saan ka kulang: stats ba, policy ba, o AdSense/account setup. Sundan mo ’yung checklist sa taas, ayusin ang content quality/originality, linisin ang strikes/claims kung meron, tapos re-apply nang confident.
