Adsense for Youtube

Olusola

Youtube has now separated YouTube payment from the normal adsense payments. 

YouTube payments are what you make from your YouTube channels and normal Adsense payments is what you make from your websites. Up until now both type of payments were consolidated as one payment but now they have been separated.

What this means is that the amount of money you make from adsense on your website will no longer be added to that made from your YouTube channel and issued as a single payment.

Recall that  the minimum payout for Adsense is $100 (including tax). Now that the accounts have been separated, each adsense payment account must reach the minimum $100 before payment is issued.
