All of us who are involved in blogging know that how hard it is to get Adsense account approval, unlike those old days when getting and Adsense account was like creating a Google account. I know some of my blogger friends who had to wait for more than 3 months to get their Adsense account approved. So, getting your adsense account approved via the normal process is litte bit tough.
But if you apply for adsense account via YouTube, it is easier to get approval. This adsense account is “Adsense for content host” which is different than the normal adsense account that we use on our blogs. But no matter what type of adsense it is, the fact is it helps in earning money on YouTube.

YouTube is a readymade platform for uploading and editing your videos. You do not have to worry about any technical aspects of website, hosting administering etc. Even if you have a smart phone with an internet connection, you can record your videos using YouTube app and upload it. After uploading your video, you can edit the video per your requirements. So, in sort, you do not need any extra software to work with your videos. So, it’s a readymade platform for your vlogging.
4. Big Audience Base
All of us know that YouTube is world’s top 10 website, perhaps it stands at second or third position. There are billions of visitors on YouTube, so, once you publish your video, it will be made available to billions of people word wide to watch. If your video is good and has got good potential, then it will be an instant hit and can earn you popularity and money.

The catchy thing about YouTube earning potential is that, you can earn from the very first day with your very first video. If you have a YouTube account, simply upload your video and start earning. If your video qualifies to be a viral one then, boom, you can earn a good amount of money from a single video itself.
I have many friends who have seen such potential of YouTube from the very first day they started vlogging.
