Does youtube send you a check in the mail

The age-old question!

YouTube's payment process is a bit more complex than just sending a check in the mail. Here's how it typically works:

  1. Monetization requirements: To receive payments from YouTube, your channel must meet certain monetization requirements, such as:
    • Having at least 1,000 subscribers.
    • Having at least 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months.
    • Complying with YouTube's community guidelines and terms of service.
  2. AdSense account: Once your channel meets the monetization requirements, you'll need to create a Google AdSense account. This is the account that will receive payments from YouTube.
  3. Payment threshold: You'll need to earn at least $100 in ad revenue before YouTube will send you a payment. This is known as the payment threshold.
  4. Payment schedule: Payments are typically processed on a monthly basis, around the 21st of each month. If your earnings exceed the payment threshold, you'll receive a payment.
  5. Payment methods: Payments can be received via:
    • Direct deposit (bank transfer)
    • Check (in some countries, like the United States)
    • Wire transfer (in some countries)
    • PayPal (in some countries)

Now, about the check in the mail:

In the United States, YouTube typically sends checks to creators who have not set up direct deposit or other payment methods. However, this is not the only way to receive payments. You can choose to receive payments via direct deposit, wire transfer, or PayPal, depending on your country and preferences.

Keep in mind that YouTube's payment process can vary depending on your location, and not all creators may receive checks in the mail. It's always a good idea to check your AdSense account settings to see what payment options are available to you.
