If you have a small channel, I highly recommend joining YouTube Partner Program as soon as possible so you can generate revenue from your channel and get direct support from YouTube.
2. Channel Memberships
Channel memberships allow viewers to join your channel through monthly payments in exchange for members-only badges, emojis, members-only live streams, and tips and tricks.
You have the ability to offer multiple membership levels at different prices.
To enable channel memberships, you must be a member of the YouTube Partner Program and have over 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours and be over 18 years old.
For example, if you join my channel membership for $9.99 a month, you’re not only be able to support my channel, but you’ll receive loyalty badges next to your name in the comments and live chat, get custom emojis to use in the comments and live chat, participate in exclusive members-only live streams every month so you can get your channel reviewed to help you identify ways to improve your channel.
