5 Monetizing the Channel
✅ Good News: YouTube channels working with AI are monetizable exactly like traditional channels, provided content quality and YouTube policies are followed [YouTube Partner Program Guidelines]
📊 Best Practices for 2026
- Focus on quality not quantity (1 excellent video is better than 3 average ones)
- Use 4K resolution when possible (most tools support it now)
- Add Subtitles to increase global reach
- Interact with comments in the first 24 hours after publishing
- Publish regularly: 2-3 videos weekly to start
- Don't copy others' content (YouTube detects this and reduces reach)
- Don't overuse visual effects at the expense of clarity
- Don't neglect audio quality (viewers tolerate average video, but not bad audio)
- Don't forget SEO optimization: Title, Description, and Tags
