Is my channel ready for monetization?

In my opinion no. Anything that may discourage people from watching your video, like a skippable ad, may hinder growth. I know we'll only talking about a few seconds but people (including myself) have short attention spans.

Plus, I doubt you'd make that much. I'd start monetizing when you're pulling thousands of views regularly.
 
I have my channel up for about 2 weeks. So far I have 3 videos, 17 subscribers and 573 views. 2 of my videos are over 100 and on is close to being 100 views. I know it's not a lot of money if monetize but I'm doing this just because I love making videos. I just want to know how to monetize and when is a good time to start.

I think you are ready why not! if a video is over 100 views than you are fine
 
I fully agree with krakensoup.

When looking at numerous video options, most people will choose to watch the video with high views and positive reviews. By clicking on your video, they're already taking a chance.

How many do you think will further wait the 5-10 seconds instead of clicking to another, more proven video? Even one person leaving is one too many as you're only going to make a few cents a month.

Considering you won't get paid until you pass a $100 threshold, there's no reason to start placing ads before you start getting 20-30k views a month (still only $10-30).

I would go through the processes of signing up and being ready to monetize (in case something suddenly takes off), but I wouldn't actually enable it until you have far more views.
 
hi,
my channel has been up for about 3months and have 18 videos and 18 subcribers and 1527 views from all the videos.
But I already monetized all my videos. Do you prefer me to keep them unmonetized for time being or can I keep them monitized?

If it doesn't hurt me, it probably won't hurt you.
 
I don't know about you guys, but when I'm on YouTube these days, I'm actually surprised when I don't have to click the "Skip" button. Browsing videos and seeing ads is a part of the territory, if people leave because of it, then they are probably not your target audience in the first place.
