In this week’s episode, we sit down with Ian from the Tank the Tech YouTube channel. We discuss his massive success on YouTube, what it takes to be a creator today, how to create a unique perspective, making money tactics as a creator, and SO much more!
About Ian
I’ve been touring in the music industry for 16 years, working for bands from club sizes up to arenas and stadiums. When the pandemic happened, all touring was canceled, and I was forced to find something else to do to make ends meet. I decided to start a YouTube channel focusing on music-related content, and in just under three years, my channel has reached 200,000 subscribers, and content is my full-time job at this point, even though I still tour from time to time.

]]>Before we get started there are a few things you need to know and understand before getting started.
Ok, now that we have that stuff out of the way lets look at how to setup our YouTube account to start making money.
1.) The first thing that you need to do is signup and setup a Google Adsnese account. Click Here to go to the sign up page. This is an easy process. All you need to do is provide Google with you street address, name, bank information, and some other personal information to get started.
2.) After you have signed up and have an Adsense account you need to login to your YouTube channel and click on your profile image and username in the upper right hand corner. You should now see a few different options. Click on YouTube Settings.
3.) Once you are under the YouTube settings you can then see the different YouTube features that you have access to. The one that you want to look for is “Monetization”.
If you DO NOT see te monetization feature it could mean a number of things. It could be that you don’t have any videos uploaded yet. It could be that you do not have a Google Adsense account, or it could be that you have a strke against your account. Make sure you check all of these things first.
4.) Click on the “Enable” button beside the Monetization tab. Once you do that you will see another option come up that tells you about your account and where it stands, and if it is eligible for monetization features. Click on the “Enable Account Button”.
5.) After you have clicked the “Enable My Account” button you will then be prompted to read and accept the YouTube Monetizations policies and procedures. After you have done that you are ready to begin monetizing your videos.
6.) You will now be taken to your YouTube Video Manager Where all of your videos are. (If you want to learn more about your YouTube Video Manager Go Here). Once you are there you will now see a new icon next to your videos that looks like a money symbol. It should be greyed out, this means that the video is NOT monetized.
7.) The next step is to actually monetize your video. Click on the grey money symbol beside the video that you want to monetize and put ads on. You will then be presented with the monetization panel. Put a check by the “Monetize With Ads” option and then you will see the different types of ads.
8.) Select the ad types that you want and then click on the save changes button in the lower right hand side of the screen. Your video will now have ads placed on it and will begin to make money!
Here are a few things to remember when monetizing your YouTube videos.
Making money for your time and effort is a great thing and it will allow you to produce content more often and it will be more polished BUT make sure that you are not just putting out videos for a pay check.
