If you monetize that's totally fine. It's there for a reason lol
Just note that you won't be making millions of dollars from YouTube.
Lol! Unless ur a big channel.
Will it hurt you in any way if you monetize early?[DOUBLEPOST=1473467479,1473467406][/DOUBLEPOST]
Nothing wrong about make a couple extra cents on youtube
Haha. Word.

I say you should start doing it right away. Even if you only earn a cent a month lol. People are so used to ads nowadays that no one cares anymore. And if they do, they're using adblock anyway haha.
Good point. Thanks![DOUBLEPOST=1473467685][/DOUBLEPOST]
I'm so tempted to turn my monetization on but I promised myself not to do it until I get around 5000 subscribers or 1000 viewers per day without any new video upload momentum. I know I'm losing some income, but I know every 35 person who gets annoyed by an ad and leaves is one subscriber I've lost.
Interesting point. People unsubscribe bc of ads? Why is that? Also, do your subscriber numbers fluctuate daily?[DOUBLEPOST=1473467784][/DOUBLEPOST]
I say monetize because
a) People are used to seeing ads and
b) Your audience is better off seeing ads from the get go rather than all of a sudden
I think you're right. Almost every video has ads nowadays.[DOUBLEPOST=1473467912][/DOUBLEPOST]
I never monetize my videos. Its cuz i make videos for fun and if one day i get famous then yea lol imma turn on the monetization, but i don't monetize my videos rn. Especially at 200 subs. And i don't think anyone else should do that either.
That's great. I'm glad you're having fun with all your videos. Can you monetize at 15?[DOUBLEPOST=1473468165][/DOUBLEPOST]
Youtube is a business not a charity. It's owned by the biggest ad server on the planet. Google.
You need to show them your goals are aligned to theirs - fantastic viewer experience and profit maximization.
I highly doubt they will send significant traffic to a channel that's not monetized, what's their incentive?
I think that's the main reason to monetize. Plus what everyone else said. But in corporate America, the greatest incentive is profit maximization. We are just tiny clogs in a giant ad machine. Go with the flow. It's easier.
Go with the flow.
How does google send traffic to your channel? And why would they?
