How YouTube Money works

YouTube Money is a managed creator-growth platform. You work with our team, not with other members — there is no member-to-member messaging, and nobody can see your contact details or channel data but you and our team.

  1. Step 1

    Join and share your channel

    Create your account, confirm your email with the four-digit code we send you, and tell us about your channel, your goals and your experience level.

  2. Step 2

    Get your growth score and plan

    Your dashboard scores your channel out of 100 from your own activity, then gives you a weekly plan of specific actions with points and due dates.

  3. Step 3

    Submit videos for review

    Send us a video and tell us what you want help with. A reviewer scores your thumbnail, title, hook, content, retention, SEO and monetization, and writes clear recommendations.

  4. Step 4

    Learn in the Academy

    Work through practical courses on the algorithm, hooks, retention, packaging, analytics, monetization and scaling your production.

  5. Step 5

    Track your progress

    Every time you update your channel numbers we keep a dated record, so you can see the direction of travel rather than a single snapshot.

  6. Step 6

    Explore ways to earn

    Your monetization centre shows your progress toward the thresholds and points you to affiliate programmes, sponsorships, digital products and services you can offer.

What we will never do

  • No subscriber exchanges or watch-for-watch schemes.
  • No bought views, subscribers or watch hours.
  • No bots, click manipulation or artificial engagement of any kind.
  • No promises that YouTube will approve your channel for monetization.
