How to monetize your YouTube channel
- List it. Upload a photo of your YouTube channel, mark each spot and pick how you bill: per week, month, event or post. We set the price from reach, market and demand.
- Get requests. Brands find it in Browse and message you. Accept or decline.
- Get paid. The brand pays when you accept. You are paid after you post proof that the logo is up.
- Or run an auction. Share a link and let brands bid. Start a YouTube channel auction.
Get paid to put ads on your YouTube channel
Send links to each video or post plus dated screenshots of the banner and links. For a month long deal, add YouTube Studio screenshots at the end of the month.
Tips
- Tick 'includes paid promotion' in each video's settings. YouTube shows a label to viewers, and you still need to say it out loud for the FTC.
- Read the sponsor yourself. YouTube's policies do not allow you to edit a third party's video commercial into your upload.
- Sell a channel package instead of single videos when you upload often. Brands like knowing the name will show up every week.
Questions
Does this replace the YouTube Partner Program?
No. YPP shares ad revenue with eligible channels. Sponsor spots are paid by the brand directly, and you can do both.
Do I need to be monetized?
No. You can sell sponsor spots before you reach the YPP threshold, as long as you disclose them.
What about an agency?
Agencies bring brands but take a cut and often want a minimum audience size. Here you list your own spots and keep the price minus the 8% fee.
How do brands find my YouTube channel?
List it once. Brands browse spots by type, city and price and message you through SponsorMySpot. Your email stays private.
Who sets the price?
Our pricing engine, like a ride app. It prices each spot from what it is, how many people see it and the market you are in, and the price rises when brands are asking for that kind of spot near you. Owners pick how they bill: per week, month, event or post.
When do I get paid?
The brand pays when you accept their request. You are paid after you post proof that the logo is up. Payouts go to your bank through Stripe. The fee is 8 percent.
Can brands bid against each other instead?
Yes. Run an auction: each spot opens at your start price and any brand can take it by paying double. Cards are held, not charged, until bidding closes.
