If you want to join the YouTube Partner Program and earn money from ads, your content must meet our advertiser-friendly content policies. Advertisers use YouTube to connect with potential customers, and it's important to them that their ads only appear in conjunction with content that's a good fit for their brand. That's why we have advertiser-friendly content policies to ensure YouTube remains a safe place for brands to reach their audiences — which in turn helps creators make more money. In this video, we'll walk through how the advertiser-friendly content policies work, how to check your monetization status, and what each status icon means, specifically covering the yellow icon status.
