Gusto mo na bang magpa-monetize sa YouTube pero nalilito ka kung 500 subs ba o 1,000 subs ang kailangan? Hindi ka nag-iisa—kasi may 2 levels na ngayon ang YouTube Partner Program (YPP): may early access at may full monetization (ads revenue).
Sa guide na ’to, i-e-explain ko nang malinaw ang updated requirements (as of 2026), ano ang differences ng tiers, at bibigyan kita ng ready-to-use checklist para mabilis mong ma-verify kung eligible ka na.
Pagkatapos mong basahin, alam mo na:
-
anong target mo (500/3K/3M vs 1K/4K/10M),
-
ano ang counted / not counted,
-
at paano mag-apply sa YouTube Studio (Earn tab).
Ano ang dalawang tier ng YouTube Monetization?
May dalawang “levels” ng YPP ngayon:
-
Entry / Expanded YPP (early access) – mas mababa ang requirements (500 subs). Usually para ma-unlock ang ilang earning features (depende sa country/rollout), tulad ng fan funding at ibang perks.
-
Full YPP (Ads revenue sharing + Premium revenue) – ito yung “classic” monetization na karamihan ang habol: ads revenue (including Shorts revenue share), plus YouTube Premium revenue share (as applicable).
Tip: Treat Tier 1 as “foot in the door,” pero kung goal mo ay ads, Tier 2 pa rin ang target.
Tier 1: Entry Level (500 subs) requirements
Para maging eligible sa Expanded/Entry YPP, kailangan mo ng:
-
500 subscribers
-
3 valid public uploads sa last 90 days
-
PLUS isa sa dalawang ito:
-
3,000 valid public watch hours (last 12 months) OR
-
3 million valid public Shorts views (last 90 days)
-

Tier 2: Full Monetization (Ads revenue) requirements
Para ma-unlock ang ads revenue sharing, kailangan mo ng:
-
1,000 subscribers
-
PLUS isa sa dalawang ito:
-
4,000 valid public watch hours (last 12 months) OR
-
10 million valid public Shorts views (last 90 days)
-
Important note sa watch hours:
-
Ang watch hours from Shorts feed hindi counted papunta sa 4,000 public watch hours threshold.

Important eligibility rules (strikes, 2-step, policies)
Kahit ma-hit mo ang numbers, dapat pasado ka rin sa basic checks/policies:
-
Follow YouTube channel monetization policies (authentic/original content, compliant channel, etc.).
-
Advertiser-friendly content rules matter per-video (kahit monetized channel ka, puwedeng “limited/no ads” ang isang video).
-
No active Community Guidelines strikes (common requirement na tinitingnan sa eligibility).
Quick reminder: YPP approval is still subject to review—hindi automatic kahit na-meet mo metrics.

Common Mistakes / Troubleshooting
-
Akala mo counted ang Shorts watch hours sa 4,000
-
Hindi counted ang watch hours from Shorts feed for that threshold.
-
-
May 500 subs ka pero wala kang “Entry tier” sa Earn tab
-
Possible na hindi pa rolled out sa account/region mo yung expanded program.
-
-
“Public watch hours” mababa kahit marami kang views
-
Baka maraming views ay from Shorts feed or videos na hindi counted (depende sa source). Check analytics breakdown.
-
-
Denied kahit na-meet metrics
-
Usually policy-related: reused content, repetitive/spammy uploads, or monetization policy issues. Review channel monetization policies.
-
-
Yellow dollar sign / Limited ads sa ilang videos
-
Per-video advertiser-friendly evaluation ito—ayusin title/thumbnail/wording at self-certify properly.

FAQ
1) Pwede na ba mag-monetize sa 500 subscribers?
Pwede kang maging eligible sa Entry/Expanded YPP kung pasok ka sa 500 subs + 3 uploads + (3K watch hours OR 3M Shorts views). Pero ads revenue usually needs Tier 2.
2) Ano ang pinaka-safe target kung ads ang goal ko?
Targetin mo: 1,000 subs + 4,000 watch hours (long-form) OR 1,000 subs + 10M Shorts views/90 days.
3) Counted ba ang livestream watch hours?
May “valid public watch hours” rules; safest ay tingnan sa Earn tab dahil iyon ang official meter.
4) Bakit biglang limited/no ads ang video ko kahit monetized channel?
Dahil advertiser-friendly guidelines are checked per video.
5) Ilang uploads ang kailangan?
Para sa Entry tier: 3 valid public uploads in the last 90 days.
6) Kailangan ba talagang “public” ang uploads?
Yes—nakaspecify na valid public uploads ang requirement sa entry eligibility.
7) May epekto ba ang copyrighted music/clips?
Oo—copyright/reused content issues can affect monetization decisions and revenue. Review monetization policies.
Conclusion + CTA
Kung gusto mo ng fastest path: piliin mo kung Shorts route (views-based) o long-form route (watch hours-based). Pero kung ang target mo ay ads revenue, aim for 1,000 subs + 4,000 hours / 10M Shorts.
Gusto mo ba? I-comment mo kung Shorts creator ka or long-form, tapos i-suggest ko kung anong mas realistic na roadmap para sa channel mo.
