Based on My Videos, How Hard Will It Be to Monetize My Channel?

I was wondering. I'd like to splice in news clips from around YouTube, but I don't see how; I've read up on YouTube regs, and they seem dispiritng. The typ of videos I've shown on my channel are of decent quality, dare I say, but I thibk monetizing the kinds I've shown,will be tricky, yes?
 
The transformer videos must be copyrighted, so you can't monetize them anyway. However you can monetize your own original videos like REVIEWS,RANTS, VLOG. Your channel is still small enough to monetize.
 
By splicing in news clips, I hope you don't mean clips from broadcast TV. If that is what you mean, you'd better go to each network and attempt to get rebroadcast license and publicity rights for the content you're intending to post. If you don't get that, your monetization is likely to be swiftly disabled by YouTube for TOS violations.

If you want to post "personal news" content by other YouTubers, the same rule will apply, but it may be easier to get that.
 
I was wondering about news clips. I see Paul Joseph Watson's channel, and he has little clips of lots of things, and he's kind of what i'm leaning towards, as a model.

Also, What of my videos with the Sherlock Holmes clip?
 
I asked before and will ask once more: what kind of news clips are you talking about? If you are talking about clips from things like ABC News, CBS News, etc., you need re-broadcast licensing from those networks to use this type of material.

Please read the paragraphs below; the first from YouTube's basic Terms of Service, and the second from the YouTube Partner Programme Policy section.

"7.4 You represent and warrant that you have (and will continue to have during your use of the Service) all necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions which are required to enable YouTube to use your Content for the purposes of the provision of the Service by YouTube, and otherwise to use your Content in the manner contemplated by the Service and these Terms."

This means that before you upload a video to YouTube you must have licenses in your possession for any content you didn't create yourself contained within that video.

Here is a portion of the section for third party content monetization policy for the YouTube Partner Programme.

"Here are some of the key monetization policies to be aware of, however make sure you read the policies thoroughly as well:

  • Own commercial-use rights: Make sure you have all the rights to the content submitted for monetization including all audio and video elements.
  • Be able to provide documentation proving you own commercial rights to all audio and video content, whether they belong to you or a third-party."
What this means, is that just "taking news clips from around YouTube" will only work if you can license them commercially. In other words you need to find the actual owners of the clips, and get documentation from them saying that you can both use the clips and monetize them.

Hope this has made things more clear.

Addendum: I just had a look at the first Sherlock Holmes clip. You are not reviewing the video section per se; and the copyrighted broadcast clip seems to comprise the majority of the video. This might even get you a copyright strike rather than a Content ID if you were to attempt monetization.[DOUBLEPOST=1458298274,1458297584][/DOUBLEPOST]To the OP: I have a feeling you want to try and make a lot of money on YouTube; am I correct? If I am, you need to find a type of content that YouTube isn't flooded with, and that you have made yourself. Relying on the work of others, and copyrighted work at that, is only going to get you in trouble with YouTube, and not make you a single red cent.

Sorry, man.
