In 2026, YPP offers two levels of eligibility thresholds:

• Entry-level threshold: 500 subscribers, 3 videos, and 3000 hours of watch time (or 3 million Shorts views), enabling memberships and fan-funding features
• Full threshold: 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time (or 1000万 Shorts views), enabling all advertising revenue features

You must also meet requirements related to regional availability, account security, policy compliance, and more.

In addition to building subscribers from scratch, creators can purchase YouTube channels that have already passed YPP certification through TGX Account.

The platform uses official email transfer, which is safe and stable. After the transfer, AdSense advertising revenue can be enabled immediately. Since its launch, it has maintained a zero-ban record, making it a compliant way to quickly enter the YouTube monetization space.

After the transfer is completed, you have full control over the channel and can modify the revenue account and channel settings at any time. The AdSense button takes effect immediately, with no need to wait for additional review.

YouTube creators mainly have 6 ways to earn revenue:

1. Advertising revenue: 55% share for long-form videos, 45% share for Shorts
2. Channel Memberships: 70% revenue share
3. Super Chat / Super Stickers / Super Thanks: 70% revenue share
4. YouTube Premium Revenue: Distributed based on watch time
5. Merchandise Sales: Showcase and sell products in videos
6. Brand Sponsorships: Usually the main source of income for top creators

It is recommended to adopt a diversified monetization strategy and not rely solely on ad revenue.

YouTube channels purchased through TGX Account are completely safe:

• Uses the official YouTube email transfer process, fully complying with platform rules
• Zero ban records across all channels traded since the platform's inception
• After the transfer, you have full control and can modify the AdSense revenue account at any time
• The channel has a clean history with no violations, and its security has been verified over the long term

This is a compliant and efficient way to quickly enter the YouTube monetization field, especially suitable for creators with existing content reserves or business plans.

Different revenue-sharing ratios:

• Long-form videos: Creators receive 55% of advertising revenue
• Shorts: Creators receive 45% of the revenue

Different calculation methods: Shorts uses a pooled-fund distribution model, in which all advertising revenue is combined, music licensing fees are deducted, and the remainder is distributed based on each video's share of views. Therefore, the earnings per Shorts view are usually lower than those of long-form videos.

Strategy recommendation: Use Shorts to quickly grow subscribers and attract new viewers, then guide them to watch long-form videos to create a complete monetization cycle.

After rejection, you need to wait 30 days before applying again. During this period, you should:

1. Check the reason for rejection (usually duplicate content, insufficient quality, or policy violations)
2. Delete or modify the problematic videos
3. Continue uploading high-quality original content
4. Ensure full compliance with YouTube Community Guidelines

Quick alternative: Consider purchasing a verified channel through TGX Account to skip the review process and start monetizing immediately.

To receive full advertising revenue:

• Long-form videos: A cumulative 4000 hours of public watch time over the past 12 months
• Shorts: A cumulative 10 million views over the past 90 days

If you reach the initial threshold (500 subscribers and 3000 hours or 3 million Shorts views), you can first enable channel memberships and Super Chat features to start monetizing.

Note: Watch time and views must come from public videos; private videos are not included in the statistics.

Yes! The YouTube monetized channels provided by TGX Account offer the following advantages:

• The AdSense button takes effect immediately, with no need to wait for additional review
• After the transfer, you can directly modify the account receiving the revenue
• Start generating advertising revenue immediately
• All monetization features are fully available (ads, memberships, super chats, etc.)

This is one of thebiggest advantages compared to applying for the YPP from scratch—saving you from the long waiting and review process and letting you jump straight into the earnings stage.

YouTube creators earn an average of approximately $0.10–$0.30 per thousand ad views (CPM), with the industry average being $18 per thousand impressions.

Influencing Factors:

• Viewer Geographic Location: Audiences from Europe and the US have a higher CPM.
• Content Category: Finance and tech categories are higher than entertainment and gaming.
• Ad Type: Non-skippable ads yield higher earnings than skippable ads.
• Watch Time: Complete viewing displays more ads.

Note: Only approximately 15% of total views generate advertising revenue; not all views can be monetized.

The main trends in YouTube monetization in 2026 include:

1. Explosive growth of Shorts: More than 30 billion views per day and over 1.5 billion monthly active users, making it an important traffic entry point
2. Diversified revenue becomes mainstream: Successful creators operate multiple channels simultaneously, including advertising, memberships, tips, and brand partnerships
3. Community interaction becomes more important: The proportion of revenue from fan relationships and tipping features is increasing
4. AI-assisted content must be labeled: AI tools may be used, but original value must be ensured and this must be indicated in the description
5. Stricter quality requirements: The platform is strengthening its review of mass-produced and low-quality content

Original, high-quality content that genuinely helps viewers will receive better recommendations and generate higher revenue.

There are two main paths:

Traditional Growth Path:

• Suitable for: New creators with time and patience
• Advantages: Deeply understand audience needs and build a solid creation foundation
• Time: Usually takes 6-18 months to reach the YPP threshold

Quick Start Path:

• Suitable for: Creators with existing content reserves or commercial plans
• Method: Purchase verified channels through TGX Account
• Advantages: Instantly gain monetization eligibility and directly enter the revenue optimization stage
• Time: Available immediately upon purchase, AdSense takes effect right away

Both paths are legitimate and compliant. Just choose based on your time, budget, and content reserve situation.

After purchasing a channel through TGX Account and completing the transfer:

• Change the password and security settings immediately to ensure account security
• Link your AdSense account and set up the way you receive earnings
• Continue uploading high-quality original content to keep the channel active
• Comply with all YouTube policies to avoid losing monetization eligibility due to violations
• Optimize the channel information, including the description, profile picture, banner, etc.

Purchasing a channel is only the beginning; subsequent content operations and compliance management are equally important.
