Using YouTube as my Artist Website - YouTube Monetization 2026

To monetize on YouTube, the program uses a two-tier system. The entry tier requires 500 subscribers and 3 uploads in 90 days, plus either 3,000 watch hours (past year) or 3 million Shorts views (90 days) to unlock fan funding.
The second tier requires 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours (past year) or 10 million Shorts views (90 days) to earn ad revenue.
