The best way to ensure you’ll be able to monetize your YouTube videos is to create your own content. Use your imagination to create something completely original. Examples of videos that have been successful on YouTube include daily vlogs and home videos, do-it-yourself videos and tutorials, original music videos and short films.
Obtain commercial use rights for specific types of content
For your videos to be eligible for monetization, you must own all the necessary rights to commercially use all visuals and audio, whether they belong to you or to a third party. If you decide to incorporate third-party content in a video you must clear the rights to use and monetize this content on YouTube. Often, this clearance takes the form of explicit written permission from the rights holders.
