Can I Use My Old AdSense Email for YouTube Monetization?

Yes, you can use your old AdSense email for YouTube monetization, provided it is associated with the same Google account that you use for your YouTube channel. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

Link Your AdSense Account

If your old AdSense account is connected to a different Google account, you'll need to link it to your new YouTube channel's Google account. To do this:

Sign in to your AdSense account: Visit the AdSense login page and enter the email address and password associated with your old AdSense account. Add your YouTube channel: After accessing your AdSense account, navigate to the appropriate section where you can add or link new properties, then select your YouTube channel.

Follow YouTube’s Monetization Process

To enable monetization on your YouTube channel, follow these steps:

Access YouTube Studio: Navigate to YouTube Studio using the YouTube account email address you want to use for monetization. Go to the Monetization section: Within the YouTube Studio, locate and click on the Monetization section. Link your AdSense account: YouTube will prompt you to link your AdSense account if it isn't already linked. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the linking process.

Verify Your Account

Ensure that your AdSense account is fully verified and in good standing. Any issues with the account could affect your ability to monetize your YouTube channel. Regular checks and updates will keep your account active and operational.

Comply with Monetization Policies

To avoid any issues, make sure you comply with YouTube’s monetization policies and AdSense terms:

Content Guidelines: Adhere to YouTube's community guidelines and content policies. AdSense Terms: Read and comply with the terms of AdSense. Violations can lead to account suspension or termination. No Fraudulent Activity: Avoid any form of fraudulent activity to maintain the integrity of your account.

Disclaimer

AdSense accounts cannot be transferred from one person to another. If a website that uses AdSense for revenue is sold, the new owner must create a new AdSense account to continue monetizing the site.
