2. Have permission to use and monetize all audio and video content
3. Upload Regularly

Now that you are ready, here are the steps to be a YouTube partner.

2. On the L.H.S, CLICK –> Channel Settings
3. Then CLICK –> VERIFY button
4. You will be directed to an Account verification page
5. Select your country
6. Choose your six digits Verification Code via Call or Text options and CLICK –> Submit.
