YPP Requirements (2026): 500-subs vs 1,000-subs tier

1) “Expanded YPP” (Earlier Access) – para sa mas maliit na channels

Pwede kang mag-apply kapag na-hit mo isa sa mga ito:

• 500 subscribers + 3 valid public uploads (last 90 days) + 3,000 valid public watch hours (last 12 months), OR

• 500 subscribers + 3 valid public uploads (last 90 days) + 3M valid public Shorts views (last 90 days)

✅ Typically ito ang tier na nag-o-open ng fan funding & select Shopping features (depende pa rin sa eligibility per feature).

2) “Full YPP” – para sa ads revenue + Premium share

Pwede kang mag-apply kapag na-hit mo isa sa mga ito:

• 1,000 subscribers + 4,000 valid public watch hours (last 12 months), OR

• 1,000 subscribers + 10M valid public Shorts views (last 90 days)

Important: Watch hours mula Shorts feed hindi counted sa 4,000 watch hours threshold.

Before You Apply: Quick Checklist

Bago ka mag-apply, siguraduhin mong pasado ka sa mga “must-have” ni YouTube:

• ✅ Follow YouTube channel monetization policies

• ✅ Nasa country/region where YPP is available (PH included sa expanded list)

• ✅ No active Community Guidelines strikes (for full YPP application requirement)

• ✅ 2-Step Verification ON

• ✅ May Advanced features access (channel verification / feature unlocks)

• ✅ Ready ka mag-link ng one active AdSense for YouTube

Pro tip (hype pero real): Kung marami kang “reused / templated / mass-produced” style videos, ayusin muna—kasi channel-level review yan, not just one video.

Step-by-Step: Paano Mag-Apply sa YPP sa YouTube Studio

Step 1: Buksan ang YouTube Studio → Earn / Monetization

Desktop (recommended):

1. Open YouTube Studio

2. Click Earn (left menu)

Mobile (YouTube Studio app):

1. Open YouTube Studio app

2. Tap Earn

3. Tap Apply Now

Step 2: I-check ang Eligibility status

Sa Earn tab, makikita mo kung:

• Eligible ka na (may “Apply Now”), or

• Pwede mong i-tap ang Get notified para i-email ka ni YouTube pag eligible ka na.

---

Step 3: Accept Base Terms (YPP contract)

1. Click/Tap Apply Now

2. Click Start sa “Review & Accept Base Terms”

3. Read then Accept

Tip: Basahin mo talaga—lalo na kung may team ka/brand. Kasi once inside YPP, may ongoing compliance checks.

---

Step 4: Set up / Link your AdSense for YouTube

1. Click Start sa step na “Set up AdSense”

2. Piliin:

   • Link existing active AdSense for YouTube, or

   • Create new (important: gawin ito inside YouTube Studio para iwas issue)

Heads-up: One active AdSense account lang ang allowed i-link sa channel.

[Mag Generate ka ng imahe] (Landscape: “Link AdSense” checklist/flow)

---

Step 5: Get Reviewed (Submit to review queue)

Kapag na-accept mo na ang terms at AdSense is linked, automatic:

• mapupunta ka sa review queue

• sa Earn tab, lalabas In Progress / Get Reviewed

---

After Applying: Paano ang Review at gaano katagal?

Ano ang chine-check ni YouTube?

Channel-level ang review:

• automated systems + human reviewers

• overall compliance sa monetization policies

Gaano katagal?

YouTube states typically about 1 month, pero pwedeng ma-delay dahil sa application volume, system issues, o kung kailangan ng multiple reviewers.

If rejected—anong next?

• May option to appeal within 21 days (for first rejection)

• or re-apply after 30 days (first time), 90 days (repeat rejections)

---

Common Mistakes / Troubleshooting

1. Shorts watch hours counted daw sa 4,000
   — Nope. Shorts feed watch time doesn’t count toward 4,000 watch hours.

2. AdSense linking error / wrong AdSense type
   — Make sure “AdSense for YouTube” at ginawa/link inside YouTube Studio.

3. Reused content / compilation / templated videos
   — High risk sa monetization policies. Add strong original value (commentary, education, transformation) and make channel identity clear.

4. Active Community Guidelines strike
   — Wait for strikes to expire or appeal if eligible; then apply.

5. “Get Reviewed” stuck for long
   — Normal minsan. Monitor Earn tab; delays can happen.

6. Inactive channel
   — YouTube may turn off monetization if no uploads or posts for ~6 months. Keep the channel active.

FAQ

1) Kailangan ba 1,000 subs bago mag-apply?
Hindi always. May expanded YPP na pwede ka mag-apply at 500 subs (with other thresholds).

2) Pag na-hit ko requirements, auto-approve na ba?
Hindi. May standard review process pa rin; channel must comply with monetization policies.

3) What if bumaba subs/watch hours habang under review?
Ayon kay YouTube, once na-meet mo threshold and applied, ire-review ka pa rin kahit bumaba counts while waiting.

4) Puwede ba mag-apply gamit phone?
Yes. YouTube Studio app supports the application flow (Earn → Apply Now).

5) Ilang AdSense account pwede sa channel?
One active AdSense for YouTube lang ang i-li-link.

6) Kapag hindi pa ako YPP, may ads sa videos ko—kumita ba ako?
Not necessarily. YouTube can serve ads, but revenue share applies kapag eligible ka na sa YPP.

7) Ano pinaka-common reason ng rejection?
Usually policy-related issues (e.g., reused content, non-original/low-value content patterns, guideline violations).

Conclusion + CTA

Ayun! Kung gusto mo ng mabilis at clean na YPP application: hit the right thresholds, fix policy risks, accept terms, link AdSense properly, then submit for review. Kapag tama setup mo, mas smooth ang approval—less stress, more earnings.

YouTube Monetization Requirements (Updated 2026) + Beginner-Friendly Checklist

 

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:

1. 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.

2. 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)

[Screenshot: YouTube Studio → Earn tab showing “500 subs” eligibility meter]

---

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.

[Screenshot: Earn tab showing “1,000 subs + 4,000 watch hours OR 10M Shorts views”]

---

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.

---

Step-by-step: Paano mag-apply sa YouTube Partner Program

1. Open YouTube Studio

   • Desktop: studio.youtube.com

   • Mobile: YouTube Studio app

2. Go to “Earn” tab

   • Dito makikita ang eligibility meters (subs, watch hours, Shorts views).

3. Check kung anong tier ang available sa’yo

   • May accounts/regions na gradual ang rollout, so possible na full YPP lang ang nakikita mo.

4. Tap “Get notified” (optional)

   • Para i-email ka once eligible + rolled out na sa’yo ang expanded program.

5. Apply / Start application
   Typical flow:

   • Review & accept YPP terms

   • Connect/verify payment setup (AdSense is used for YPP earnings)

   • Wait for channel review decision

Updated checklist (copy-paste)

Gamitin mo ’to as quick self-audit:

✅ Channel Setup

• Channel has no policy red flags (reused content / spam / etc.)

• Understand advertiser-friendly rules per video

• No active strikes blocking eligibility

✅ Tier 1 (Entry / 500 Subs) — choose 1 path

• 500 subscribers

• 3 valid public uploads in last 90 days

• EITHER 3,000 valid public watch hours (last 12 months)

• OR 3,000,000 valid public Shorts views (last 90 days)

✅ Tier 2 (Full Ads Monetization) — choose 1 path

• 1,000 subscribers

• EITHER 4,000 valid public watch hours (last 12 months)

• OR 10,000,000 valid public Shorts views (last 90 days)

• Note: Shorts feed watch time won’t count to 4,000 hours

---

Common Mistakes / Troubleshooting

1. Akala mo counted ang Shorts watch hours sa 4,000

   • Hindi counted ang watch hours from Shorts feed for that threshold.

2. 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.

3. “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.

4. Denied kahit na-meet metrics

   • Usually policy-related: reused content, repetitive/spammy uploads, or monetization policy issues. Review channel monetization policies.

5. 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.
