Associate your YouTube and AdSense accounts
[/size]
You may begin monetizing your videos once you’ve opted in your account for monetization.
When you're ready to associate an AdSense account with your YouTube account, there are two ways to do it, depending on whether you already have an active AdSense account or whether you still need to create an AdSense account. Please note that it’s against AdSense’s to create a duplicate account.
If you already have an approved AdSense account:
- Access the page in your Account Settings.
- From the page, you will be directed to AdSense.
- Select the option at the bottom of the page to choose the Google Account you wish to use.
- Enter the password for your Google Account.
- Accept the association and you will then be redirected back to YouTube
Note: You may also change or update the AdSense account associated with your YouTube account by following the instructions above.
If you have never created an AdSense account before:
- Access the page in your Account Settings.
- From the page, you will be directed to AdSense.
- Select the option at the bottom of the page to choose the Google Account you wish to use.
- Enter the password for your Google Account.
- Confirm the association and provide your billing information before submitting.
- You will then be redirected back to YouTube. (Note: AdSense may .)
