How My YouTube Channel Got Monetized In 2021 & Tips For Growing Your Channel

Well I certainly didn't expect to be making this video in 2021 but here we are because my YouTube art channel got MONETIZED and I'm so excited about it! In this video I'll show you how it happened, the video that got a big boost, the monetization process and some tips for how you can grow your channel too.

Hold on to your hats and get yourself a tea or coffee because there's a LOT to talk about in this video!

We'll make a video before the end of the year to show you the YouTube income we've earned once we've been monetized for a couple of months.

I hope you find this video helpful for your own channel whether you're thinking of starting a YouTube channel in 2021 or you already have one ❤
