AdSense says you need to wait at least 10 days for an EFT payment to arrive, which it has been.

For EFT payments use the payment troubleshooter: https://support.google.com/adsense/troubleshooter/1209468

For wire transfer payments you need to wait 15 business days (so still another week), and then see this information about payment problems: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/6025222

You really do need to wait the full time before contacting AdSense.

Hopefully it's just delayed.

Sign in to YouTube Studio, go to the Content tab, and make sure there is a green $ next to your videos. If there is, you are set, and those videos are monetized. Note that YouTube may not place an ad for every video view and Shorts do not have ads placed with the video itself (there are ads in the Shorts feed for revenue sharing).

Then get to know your Analytics for monetization. I recommend doing this on the web version, not the mobile app, because the web version has more detailed stats.
Start at Analytics > Revenue and check the overview. Then click "Advanced Mode" to really dive in.

You can add the metric "Estimated monetized playbacks" (under Revenue) to see that your videos are playing with ads. (That stat doesn't show for Shorts). And then explore the numbers :)
Here's more information from YouTube support about how to understand your Revenue metrics: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9314357

For my videos, there are always more views than estimated monetized playbacks, but the percentage varies.

They may start out with a canned response, but if you respond with specific questions they should be able to give you more personalized information.

Thank you for these instructions! They work as expected using the Android YouTube app (it shows the option to open the YouTube Studio app, but doesn't seem to require it).

You are allowed to have both an individual AdSense account and a business AdSense account as long as the payee information is different. See this information in the AdSense help center: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9729

"If you have an individual account but also operate a separate business entity, you may open a different account for that business. Make sure that the account type (individual or business) is marked correctly, and that all of the information on the account (including tax and payee information) corresponds to the registered business."

I've used Opus and CapCut for automated shorts from longer videos, and I think CapCut is better for editing the final product.

What do you mean by digital bank account? As long as it is a legitimate bank account in the country of your AdSense account, It should be okay.

Check to see The payment method in your country is EFT, and then you can confirm with the bank that they accept that type of payment. Same as if you're in a country where wire transfer is the payment method

Have you tried contacting YouTube Partner support from inside YouTube Studio? You will need a new individual AdSense account, But partner support may be able to help walk you through that process.

I go to Evergreen Nursery in San Leandro. I bought vegetable plants there (tomatoes, cucumber , eggplant) on April 27, and they had a good selection at the time. You can call them to see what they have in stock right now.

There are scams going around with the scammer pretending to be associated with a big podcast. The scam involves tricking Facebook page owners into giving the scammer access (claiming it's necessary to live stream to Facebook), and then the page is taken over.

I see that the email also mentions Facebook, and I would be concerned that they're branching out into scamming YouTubers.

I'm sure you know this, but if there's any hint that they want access to YouTube Studio or channel, it's a scam.

That's in addition to the other red flags people have mentioned.

It's actually not the same. If you don't have a Pixel or Google One premium, you only get 10 magic edit saves per month, and Google says if you want to save more, you should upgrade to a Pixel. Source https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6128850

One likely difference is that news and politics content may only be of interest for a short time , while your fragrance channel is more likely to have evergreen content, with people watching the back catalog.

So that's probably not the problem, because you can still sign into the author account. And there's a post on the blog after 2014, so it has to be connected to a Google account.

It is possible that you set up your Google account with a non-gmail to sign in.

Try entering blogspot URL here: https://www.blogger.com/forgot.g

That will send an email to all the author and admin accounts for the blog, and it will show you a hint about the sign in email addresses.

I just tried it, so you may see that message in your inbox.

This is the hint:

We've sent login instructions for the blog at http://ceulilaceo.blogspot.com/ to you and the other blog authors. Email was sent to gmail.com accounts.

So that means there are multiple accounts that should have access to the blog, and they all use a Gmail email address to sign in.

So check all your accounts, and hopefully you can figure out which one is the admin account.

If you have already gone through account recovery, and that didn't work, you can Tweet at @TeamYoutube for assistance, or post in the official YouTube help Community, (not here).

When you say you are over the threshold, is that showing in the balance in your AdSense account? It's not finalized until it's there. And you can't add a payment method until your AdSense balance reaches $10 or equivalent.

So you should be getting your March earnings in your AdSense account soon. If those finalized earnings make the balance greater than $10 you can then add a payment method. And if the payment method is set up before the 21st, and there aren't any other holds on your account, you would be issued a payment by the end of the month. That payment would include unpaid earnings through the end of March.

This is the answer! The official information from the YouTube help center is here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/72851 See this section "stay active to keep making money".

I can tell you from experience this works even if your channel's watch hours drop below the minimum threshold.

Some spammers use code to show different content to the Google search bot than what is visible to humans on the page. I assume it's too attract search traffic?

You can report them as spam (or otherwise violating Blogger policy): https://www.blogger.com/report

If your main interest is in monetizing with AdSense ads, there's technically no minimum amount of traffic. But practically, unless your blog is getting thousands of views, you aren't likely to learn much.

Before you apply, review your entire blog and make sure that it complies with the AdSense content and other policies.

You will only see your finalized earnings from YouTube in your AdSense account. YouTube earnings are finalized once a month, between the 7th and the 12th for the previous month.

So if you have earnings from March, your AdSense account should update in a week or so (starting April 7).

Nope that you may still have payment holds. There are some holds who can't remove until there is a balance in your AdSense account. So keep an eye on it, and note when the PIN for verifying your mailing address is sent, and note when you can add a payment method.

Once all the payment holds are removed, you may be issued a payment from AdSense, If the balance there is at least $100. Payments start the 21st of the month.

Are you posting new content? People who are interested in the new videos may go back and watch your back catalog.

And if the videos that are still getting views are related to the videos that are not, be sure to cross-link them with cards or end cards. Make it easy for people who are watching your content to watch the rest of your videos.

Did you copy-paste the text from somewhere? That can sometimes carry over formatting code.

You might try opening the post in the post editor, highlighting all of the content of the post, and clicking the remove formatting button. Save that and see if it makes a difference.

But if you want more specific suggestions, it would help if you shared the blog URLs.

The YouTube product lead for recommendations says don't delete videos unless you really need to. All those people who watched your video will probably be recommended other videos of yours. If you delete it, it's out of their history. Source: https://twitter.com/hitsman/status/1771331080198529149 

Blogger's built in comments do not have emoji reactions . But you could use a third party commenting system like Disqus that does.

Personal voice commands for Google Assistant (like adding to a list) on the Pixel tablet only works with the primary account.

That's why it's not a replacement for the Home mini if you have multiple people who use it like that.
