FAQs
How Can We Help You With YouTube Monetization?
YouTube Content ID is YouTube’s automated system that enables copyright owners to find videos where their music has been used without permission, so that the copyright owner can monetize those videos. Content ID is only available for people who meet YouTube’s threshold – but because iMusician is a YouTube partner, we take care of this for you. Simply select the tracks you want to monetize, and we will submit them to YouTube on your behalf. Then, if someone uses your copyrighted song in their video, you will earn money.
Videos uploaded to YouTube are scanned against a database of files that have been submitted by content owners such as iMusician. Copyright owners get to decide what happens when content in a video on YouTube matches a work they own. When a match is found, the video gets a Content ID claim.
It's easy! Simply upload the music you want to monetize on YouTube to your iMusician library. During the release distribution upload form, select the option 'YouTube Content ID.' iMusician will take care of the rest, ensuring your music is registered with YouTube's Content ID system.
Normally you would need 1000+ subscribers and 4000 watch hours to sign up for Content ID with YouTube — with iMusician, you can make money on YouTube from any video that contains your copyrighted sound recordings, regardless of your subscriber or view count.
If your channel already has 1000+ subscribers and 4000 watch hours, you may be eligible for the YouTube Partner Program.
YouTube Content ID from iMusician allows you to earn money and generate ad revenue from any video content on YouTube that contains your copyrighted sound recordings.
The YouTube Partner program allows you to monetize your YouTube channel by generating ad revenue from YouTube advertisements, channel subscriptions, YouTube Premium, chat stickers, and merch promotion. You are only eligible for the YouTube Partner program if your channel has 1000+ subscribers and 4000 watch hours.
The simplest way to monetize your music on YouTube is with Content ID from iMusician, regardless of your subscriber or view count.
However, if you already have an established YouTube channel that meets the four requirements below, you may be eligible to generate another revenue stream via acceptance into the YouTube Partner Program:
- You must have 1,000 subscribers on your YouTube channel
- Your videos must have 4,000 watch hours over the last 12 months
- Your channel and content must comply with YouTube's policies and guidelines
- You must have a Google AdSense account set up
After becoming a partner, YouTube advertisements will be placed on videos you upload and you will be able to monetize your content based on how many views the videos receive.
YouTube constantly monitors channels in its partner program to see whether they continue to meet their policies and guidelines, so once you are accepted, be sure to keep yourself informed to avoid any issues.
