For any small TH-camr not yet monetized and not yet to 1000 subscribers yet like me who is watching here, dont give up keep pushing its evident from here that it will get better with consistency. Lets keep going there is light at the end of the tunnel. Congrats 🎉🎉
Thanks for posting this video and the previous one. I have had a channel for 1 year and just got my 1k views and 4k hours, so I am trying to fighure out the monetizion process. Lot's of love from American Hillbilly and Hillbilly Nation, Hillbilly Up.
Thank you for the inspirational video Kevin! I am glad you got over that nightmare of a struggle and finally got monetized. I am also 1 yr and couple months into this TH-cam monetization dream but still stuck at 760 Subs. Your video really gives me hope and encouragement to keep on pushing and I truly thank you for that man. Wishing you more success!
Mr. Chee you have such a warm and inviting personality. Thank you for the time and effort you take to make your videos both entertaining and informative to watch. I am also a very very small channel, and I am already enjoying the process of making videos. Have an excellent rest of your day!
This is incredibly inspiring! Achieving a thousand is still a distant goal for me, but I'm putting in the effort by using half my free time to create videos. Your content has become an invaluable resource in my journey. I dedicate the other half of my time to learning from videos like yours. Your shining presence truly guides us to see better and strive harder. Thank you for generously sharing your experiences.
To share with you my 2 cents, don't try to learn what tips I offer in my videos. Instead, try and see the changes in my content and thumbnails over the years then learn the process instead. I deliberately left my old horrible videos in my channel to show a journey of my channel's growth.
Happy to hear you got this bro! Well done and pushing through! Complain more ya lol jk. Thanks for sharing your experience and I agree it is fair to have that 4k watch hours and 1k sub bar. I should be there soon! Also good luck to everyone working on their channels just keep doing what you love.
Hey there 👋 just found your channel because one of my videos was recommended against yours. Got to say I’m happy I discovered you. It’s great to know another person going on a similar journey. Plus I really enjoy your style of video! Watched two so far and I’ll be sure to watch more. Keep it up
Thanks man. I'll do my best to improve my views so your videos get more traffic from recommendation. Btw, love those thumbnails you have for your videos
@@KevinChee Hahaha I do hope you get more views and not for my sake! I appreciate that! Put a lot of work into them. Will definitely be keeping up with your videos.
Congrats on the achievement. I just watched the "couldn't monetize" and "finally monetized" videos of yours back to back. We are in the process of gaining our 4k watch hours and 1k subs for our new this year metal detecting channel. I am sure we will have similar hiccups along the way and I found this info very helpful for our steadily growing channel. Thank you!
If you have not signed up to AdSense before then you will be fine. In fact, you can even sign up now and get verified first (they will send you a letter to your physical address) so that when your channel is monetized, you can simply link it to your verified AdSense account.
@@KevinChee It's odd I have had an account for decade. It was deactivated, I just had to get them the information. Then it all worked, (3 weeks later) it is very slow like you say. I'm not sure why you had an issue, I'm so happy it is fixed and you are helping people that had this issue also. You are awesome fam.
Happy you got it workin for ya! Sounded like a major headache and as a new channel myself I felt for you dude. You could just see the disappointment in your eyes.
Good video Kevin, I'm also Kevin. I have been doing TH-cam for 10 years and I just made one video that got me 4k watch hours in few days.. After 10 years of ON and OFF TH-cam video creation It surely feels great. Thank you for your video, I have seen it in past and I was trying to hard to find again, because I remembered you had some good points.. So I rewatched it
Congratulations 🎊 i watched your previous video, where you had issues of monetization. Now here you are..breaking through..God you. Meanwhile i subscribed..hope to connect more with your and audience.
@@KevinChee I’m a bit confused about something tho. You mentioned you previously owned multiple google accounts and that led to you having another Adsense account. I’m about starting a TH-cam channel, and I know I have more than 20 google accounts, deleted and still active (total). So I don’t know if that will become an issue for me Adsense-wise
Another option is to start a blog and upload a heap of content onto it, You can then apply for Google Adsense, You will then be ready to get monetized from that Adsense account once you are monetized. Having more than one Adsense account is going to get you blocked. I found that out the hard way years ago. Luckily, I managed to close that duplicate account. So have only one account and start a blog first, get accepted on your blog and it is a simple matter of connecting your TH-cam account to it. And it was pretty simple from memory. I've been monetized for a couple of years now.
Yeah, I ended up closing all my AdSense accounts as well. But the problem turns out to be unrelated to getting blocked or multiple accounts. The problem was my AdSense account is linked to AdMob. So, when I try to link another service to that account, TH-cam, AdSense seems to think AdMob and TH-cam are the same type of product, hence, would not link them up. However, getting in contact with AdSense was the hardest part. They wouldn't respond to emails and they do not have Twitter account (not sure about now). So, it made me feel stuck at that time.
Thanks for the video. I am running a small project on another channel and I'm about to hit 4k watch hours (when it updates in 5-7 days) and just hit 1058 subs. Hoping I don't run into any troubles. 🙏
Congratulations!! So happy for you!! If you have a video explaining about monetization, please give me the link. If not, wondering if you wanna make one. I heard a lot 'TH-cam monetization', but I actually have no idea what actually monetization is and what I can expect from it. Thank you!
I actually landed on your last video and from the comment linking to this video, I thought it took a year to get this sorted, either due to other obligations or just TH-cam themselves. But glad to hear that you got it sorted out in a week 😃 I knew about only having one adsense account, but I figured it was more so not having multiple separate gmail accounts with adsense connected to them. What I don't understand is that I already have adsense for placing ads on websites, blogs etc from a long while ago and don't want to close that to apply for TH-cam monetization when I finally meet the requirements.
I suggest you link TH-cam to that AdSense account which you use for blogging. If it works, great, it it doesn't then you'll fall into the same boat as me where I have to create a brand new verified AdSense account just for TH-cam.
@@KevinChee Definitely, it seems to be all in one at the moment but I will keep an eye out when I get to meeting the requirements. Thanks for the information and tips! 🙏
Good to know. I’m almost there but based on my content and an old adsense account I used yeaaaars ago, Im sure getting approved will be quite the task.
If your AdSense isn't linked to anything then you have a high chance in reusing it. Mine was linked to AdMob (for mobile app development) and AdSense doesn't like me adding another one
Kevin tks for this info, after 6 yrs and a hole bunch of videos I am getting close to being monetized under the new criteria. I will be checking on these steps.
Thanks for this information it will be useful when I get my watch time. I am really happy for you and I can see that you are really happy too. It is a pleasure watching the ads knowing you will now benefit.
@@KevinChee I am so glad you made it !!! I have 1, 200 watch time hours left . It looks like it will take me a year and a half too . Hopefully I ll get there !!!!
Thanks so much, you have honestly been helping me so much in the past few months I have been on TH-cam. I have been binge watching your content a lot because it is actually useful and I want to make it on TH-cam so this helps me.
It takes some planning to get monetized. Here's a free ClickUp template I created that you can use for free - rebrand.ly/kevincheeclickup
What if you already sign up in Google adsense even I am not monetized yet because Of the ads that popping in my videos
Can you fix the link 🔗 for this template ?! I have a lot of TH-cam gmail accounts -so wondering how I can keep this from happening
For any small TH-camr not yet monetized and not yet to 1000 subscribers yet like me who is watching here, dont give up keep pushing its evident from here that it will get better with consistency. Lets keep going there is light at the end of the tunnel. Congrats 🎉🎉
let's go!
Congrats, I think that is the strategy not giving up no matter what,
❤❤
Thank you! about to hit 1K subs for watch time is sooo low. Here's to consistency!
I'm a new streamer
Congrats Kevin!! You finally did it. If there's anyone who deserves to be monetized, it is you. Best of wishes on the rest of your YT journey ☺
Thank you! I'll try my best. If I can get views like you're getting for your channel, I'll be a very happy man!
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉👏🏽
thank you
I'm trying to monetize my 4th channel right now. TH-cam definitely give huge perks to new channels, so always good to have one brewing.
That's an interesting one. What sort of perks do new channels get?
You're an inspiration to me and other small channels. It's refreshing to hear your perspectives.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
Woohoooo!!! Persistence pays off. So glad to hear that you were able to figure out the problem and get monetized :)
Yeah! Took a while but I got there. 1 thing less to worry about now
Glad about your monetization. First time watching and was caught in the "monetization" of it. Congratulations.
Interesting point! Noted!
Congratulations 👏👏🎉🎉🎉 wish you many more subscribers and watch hours to come
Thank you. Trying my best to get more views now!
Wow, Congratulations!!!! I am so glad that it all worked out. I am going to get where you are soon. Geez, Watch Hours are kind of hard. Like 3.4K
you're pretty close!
@@KevinCheefr
I love how honest (better put, how authentic) you always sound
Thanks. That is the direction I want to take since day 1. Good to have some validation from viewers.
@@KevinChee I would be absolutely delighted to have you as a special guest on The Freelance Spotlight
Great job! You got me hooked on your great info. Keep it real and keep pushing.
Hook on info and not the editing? That's fantastic news for me
You are not the worst-case scenario, your channel is amazing!... And Congratulations on hitting this milestone!
It was the worst-case when I did this video. I am having a growth right now so this video isn't valid anymore
Congratz!!! Good Info Thanks, I'm Just getting started so I have a loooooooog way to go...
You'll get there, stay persistent
I been following your journey since day 1 and this is amazing to see. Congratulations Kevin 👌

Congrats. Thanks this is helpful. I started around almost 1 month ago and it does take a while
you can always prepare your adsense account beforehand. It took a little over 2 weeks for me to verify AdSense
@KevinChee I heard people in youtube said to wait until 1000 subs and 4000 hrs
@@YuiAdventure I wouldn't wait till then. Probably when closer to 1k sub and 4k watch hours but not until you attained it.
You are right mr.kevin🎉 i have also experience ,, and i cried but never give up
I hope you resolved it

Yeap!
2:45 should i click "confirm i have closed my duplicate accounts" and "click resubmit"?
Just close it, don't resubmit. Start a new adsense account instead.
