I know You have to have a lot of views but how old do you have to be? Besides a lot of subscribers and views how do you become one?
*** Federal law prevents YouTube from entering into a contract with somebody
under the age of 18. Also, YouTube will perform a "background check" on you,
requiring proof of residency, your banking info/details and your Social Security
Number if you want to try to earn a little bit of revenue. Therefore if you're lying
about your age, they'll know it; and you can forget all about partnership forever
(because the definition of "partnership" implies you can be "trusted").
Here are the pre-requisite qualifications:
-- You create your own original videos (meaning videos nobody else has done)
-- The content is 100% yours (there aren't any elements that belong to others)
-- You own all of the implied copyrights
-- You've never had a copyright warning
-- Your videos are viewed by thousands
-- You upload videos on a regular basis
-- The videos are suitable for all viewers
-- You are a resident in one of the 23 countries where YouTube has local sites
-- You can prove you are 18+ years old.
Generally, YouTube will not consider you unless you've got some combination
of "subscribers" and "videos" that when multiplied together can easily surpass
10,000 channel views. Thus you would need for example: 800 subscribers and
20 videos (each with multi-thousands of views) or maybe 500 subs and 30 vids
(likewise in the thousands) - as well as a total view count way in the 100,000s.
The only exceptions are if you're a college, university, school or real filmmaker.
If you wish to know more, go to the top righthand corner of any YouTube page,
click "Help", and type "partner" in the searchbox. Or click on either link below:
