It is possible to make money online in Nigeria without leaving the comfort of your home. However, you need to work smart and strategically to maximize the income-earning opportunity that abounds – online tutorials, and virtual assistance are examples of sit-at-work jobs one can earn a living from.
For content creators, it is even more interesting as you get paid for your ideas.
Imagine posting the video is a dog shot drinking Pepsicola? Imagine the video was watched by 10000 unique viewers, and the video is monetized, that is a major stress-free income generator. Google’s YouTube has provided the platform for content creators through the Google Adsense feature, to earn some money.
YouTube Partnership Programme in Nigeria
On
The YouTube Partner Programme (YPP) lets qualifying creators tap into different ways to earn revenue, gives access
to 1:1 chat and email support, and allows you to use the Copyright Match Tool.
To qualify for the YPP, you need to be in good standing with YouTube, have 4,000 valid public watch hours in the previous 12 months and at least 1,000 subscribers.
You will also need to follow all the YouTube monetisation policies, live in a country/region where the YouTube
Partner Programme is available and have a linked AdSense account.
Once you’re in the programme, you can start earning money from ads and from YouTube Premium subscribers watching your content. You can also explore other revenue streams besides ads, like channel memberships or Super Chat.
How Ads Work on YouTube
Earn ad revenue from display, overlay and video ads that run on your channel. With YouTube Premium, you can earn a portion of a subscriber’s fee when they watch your content.
Creating an AdSense account and linking it to your channel is a crucial step toward getting paid on YouTube. Note that if you’re already in the YouTube Partner Program, you can change your linked AdSense account if you need to. You can also monetize more than one YouTube channel using the same AdSense account.
