Google Adsense is a way to make money online. If you own a website, blog or YouTube channel with lots of rich original content, Adsense places ads alongside your content and when visitors click on them, you make money. 

With a Google adsense account, relevant adverts are placed on your website. You can view the results of click activity on the ads. At the end of the month, money made from click activity is summed up and payment is processed through your adsense account.

Requirement for opening an AdSense account.

1. A Google account. If you already have a Gmail account then you have a Google account. 
2. A website , blog or YouTube channel you own with lots of good quality original content.

Process of opening a AdSense account

So with a Gmail account and your own website, you can sign up for an Adsense account. After signing up, Google then checks your linked website for adherence to Google Adsense policies. If your website meets the requirements, you will be accepted into the Adsense program. At this stage Google placed ads on your website. When you reach a balance of 10 dollars in your Adsense account, Google verifies your address by sending  a PIN to your physical address. Which is the address you filled in your Adsense account application. When you successfully enter the PIN sent in the right portion of your Adsense account , your account will be fully activated and ready to receive payments..

Adsense payment process

The minimum threshold for payment is 100 dollars. When you meet this threshold at the end of a particular month, Google sends you payment anytime from the 21st day of the next month.

How you receive Google AdSense payments

Google sends your payments by wire transfer to your bank account. Which is the same account you filled in your Adsense account. You can also change your bank account within your Adsense account as the case may be.

YouTube is very clear about the types of videos you can’t monetize on their platform. Monetization means Google ads can show while someone is watching your video. If he or she clicks on the advert, you are paid. Here are some types of videos you can’t monetize;

Nudity 

Nudity of any degree in part or all of your video will make the video not eligible to make money. Sexually provocative scenes also fall into this class. 

Copyright

Posting other peoples original video content in whole or part on your channel makes the video not monetizable.. The best way to avoid copyright issues is to make sure you own all the rights in the video you create. However in some cases, YouTube still allows you to monetize other peoples content in your video provided you create your own original commentary. 

Violence

Video showing violent or gory scenes, killing of human beings or animals, firearms, etc. is not eligible for monetization.

Hate speech

Videos promoting hate speech,religious intolerance, racism are not eligible for monetization on YouTube.

Nonsensical content

Videos showing content with no educational value or that makes no sense can’t be monetized.

PowerPoint videos

Powerpoint videos refers to videos containing only a series of pictures with little or no voice narrative. These types of videos are difficult to monetize.

Robotic voice

You can monetize a video containing robotic or computerised voice provided you created the write up  for the robotic voice to use. However, using a robotic voice to read from pages of newspapers or text books which you didn’t create  can’t be monetized.

Animals

Videos showing killing,torturing, mating, cutting open of animals can’t be monetized.

Children

Videos showing children subjected to inhuman treatment, or abuse won’t be monetized.
